Is it bad that I usually hate anime filler, but I liked the Bleach Bount arc?

It had it's moments for sure.

The thing that killed Bleach for me is that the Arrancar arc was basically the Soul Society arc with a new coat of paint, which would have been fine if it wasn't 5 times as long and paced like mollasses.

The first 60 or so episodes of Bleach is quality shonen, it's just a shame it becomes kind of a mess after that, the Arrancar arc has a lot of really cool stuff in it but the pacing kills it for me, also it barely gave Rukia anything to do and she's my favorite character, that was a bummer.

I really want Bleach to get the Dragon Ball Z Kai treatment someday, remake it and trim the fat.

Have you ever watched an anime?
Anime as far as I'm aware is like Metal Sub-Genres.

Yeah I've heard these three bands....

Those aren't grindcorewave.
So assuming these are anime, I've seen Inuyasha and Lupin the 3rd.

Lupin III is a lot of fun and most of it definitely isn't for kids aside from the stuff Miyazaki directed.

Inuyasha has it's problems, it has the same pacing issues of anime running concurrently with the manga that I talked about earlier and the original series didn't even get a proper ending, and the animation quality is inconsistent which is another common problem for long running anime, that being said I still find it to be pretty enjoyable, the monster designs are rad as hell. It's definitely not Rumiko Takahashi's best creation IMO, I prefer her earlier, more comedic stuff like Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2.

Anime is politics. If you love anime and have a neckbeard and beatoff 5 times a day you're one YouTube video away from MAGA.

The whole system is designed to make people deepthroat hierarchies, caste, and violence.

The whole system as in the Japanese equivalent of Hollywood that is responsible for anime?

If you think actual Hollywood is full of pedos, imagine the Japanese version....

Some people just like cartoons dude, chill the f*ck out.

Not all anime consists of lolis in Nazi outfits, I promise. The avatars of right wing Twitter trolls aren't telling the whole story here.

I mean yeah anime has it's share of morally reprehensible trash, no goddamn doubt about that, every medium does, and it's hardly the only medium that attracts a right wing fanbase, look at Gamergate and Comicsgate, it's definitely a growing problem in nerd culture.

But I assure you not all nerds are like this, I know plenty of gamers, weebs, comic book nerds, furries and miscellaneous weirdos who are extremely left wing.

Fascists try to attach themselves to different communities like parasites, especially ones that have some kind of stigma attached to them because it's easier to prey on vulnerable young people that way, in reality most people in these communities want nothing to do with them, they are a vocal minority, it just happens that vocal minorities thrive on the internet and if people blindly accept that a community "belongs" to them they win.
