Like... I get that a lot of what he does is about setting the atmosphere of each show... but a lot of it ends up coming off as meandering about. Every show he's done has this in some form, even Cowboy Bebop. That show, though, was probably only able to get away with it through being a pioneering genre-buster. Even Space Dandy had this, but it at least had the excuse of the multiverse to separate most episodes alongside the wacky humor.

@Rynnec: It's the cockroaches, isn't it.

I didn't notice until it was pointed out to me, but now I can't un-see it and I feel horrible about it.

[up][up] Yeah there roaches but theres some controversy cause people are saying they look like a caricature of black people but in reality there most likely based off homo erectus the ancestor as humanity as an obvious play off evolution that only happens to be black cause roaches are ya know black.

I always wondered why everyone barely has any reaction to the fact Naruto has a genocidal demon locked inside him.

The fuck Naruto?! That was just fucking uncalled for. Kinda sexist & stupid even for you. sad

I remember someone criticizing the way they fired their laser rifles as being "too obviously gangsta" or something along those lines.

Take of that what you will.

Those roaches are definitely something though. I wasn't quite prepared for them, I have to say.

Take good notes Naruto, this is how you do filler.

[up][up][up] If the designs unsettled you then I think there doing a great job then. They have an uncanny valley vibe thing going for them that's makes them very, very fucking creepy as hell.

Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth is basically Naruto: The Filler Series and it's far more entertaining than whatever is playing in Shippuden's time slot.

@Slim

True, they did a good job there. It was one thing to see them in the manga, but to see them animated...
