Most anime I can't stand, but i love Manga like Bleach and Trigun.
FLCL is the only exception, love that show.

What a horribly misleading signature then.

Oh No! The dumbasses are ganging up on me.

Trigun features:
A few good action scenes with too many fillers in between.
A idiotic at first, but actually very strong protagonist who *GASP* will not kill others because of some idiotic moral code.
And some tragic past involving some hot chick and the main villain.

Too many times.

i would say that trigun is a great synthesis of a bunch of common anime themes. basically, a billion animes/mangas try to use these themes and none come through. Trigun has mangaged to take the basic common ideas of manga/anime and synthesis them into something that i enjoy.

Other plus sides: the anime doesnt run for a billion episodes
the manga is really dark and grotesque after the first two books

really? i've never seen FMA but Bleach i got bored of. i just got over ichigo being emo and weak.

I loved dragon ball Z, but once you got so far with that one you only watched it because it was DBZ and no other real reason. the final saga was TERRIBLE. lol

First off what's wrong with a moral code? And second, I thought the backstory was excellent, it has a pretty original setting too.

Trigun is amazing, I don't care what anyone says.

Ichigo becomes a real badass once he achieves bankai and gains his hollow powers though.

I love the way the characters progress throughout the show and are always improving. The main characters are powerful, but they're not ridiculously overpowered like DBZ characers, And theres no whole episodes of just powering up bullsh*t either, and the show actually has character development, the cast is big yet the manga and anime both take their time exploring every character, giving their backstory. My favorite characters have to be Rukia, Kenpachi, Ikkaku, Urahara and Ishida, but there's a lot of great characters in the show IMO, though it's easy to be annoyed by the likes of Kon and Keigo.

One thing about the show that's hard to get over is the fact that no one important ever dies, which gets in the way of suspense, then again, a spirit would have to be pretty f*cking hard to kill.

i think i just got over the way the anime was done. i kept on reading the manga for a while but it just seems to have gotten totally pointless

and yea there was none of the powering up bullsh*t, but the manga for dbz kicked MAJOR ass. powering up took a max of a 1 page spread. maybe 2 pages if he so decided to make a really awesome picture

DBZ was great. My favorite of the series was the Freezia or whatever part, when goku first goes super saiyan.

The cell saga was pretty cool too.

IT was annoying how you would have to go through 10 episodes of people just flexing the muscles or powering up their kamehamaha or whatever before they started fighting

HIS POWER LEVEL IS OVER 5000!!
