OH BOY, ANOTHER REASON TO LINK A GIGGUK VIDEO~

Pretty good video. Pretty much the same reasons I'm not a fan of those anymore.
Loved One Piece but after it faded airing in the U.K/me losing interest, it meant having around 400 episodes to catch up with episodes still coming out.
Bleach got extremely dumb once Orihime got captured and wouldn't go anywhere(episode 120ish).
Naruto. I watched up to Shippuuden and not one episode in. It really only appealed to the newcomers of Anime and as the video states, it wasn't out during "our time". A ninja in a BRIGHT ORANGE jumpsuit is one of the stupidest ideas for a ninja costume ever and the whole Sasuke stuff was just...ughh.
(Also not defending Dragonaball Z. Even though I loved that show, it really was a braindead show).
Fair enough people like Naruto, no problem in that, but Naruto really doesn't have much going for it other than it being the most popular.

I watched all of Cowboy Bebop again last week and it has such better writing, animation and character design that it feels strange to have come from the same country as the others. You can see the huge shift in animes these days to what they used to be like.
I've heard a semi-spoiler for Attack on Titan, which if proven to be true, could mean it being one of the most horribly written twists in any form of media.

The uh, text there kind of falls off to the side so you can't read what it says.

Watched the Animal Crossing film with a few friends, we all agreed....it's amazing. Quite possibly the most humble film ever. More than any Disney/Studio Ghibli film. Plus, we had fun pointing out the references.
