    Nah LotU got perm banned for eternity + 2 years.

    The mods just got utterly tired of his antics and shut him down.

    However there have been some hugely entertaining personalities that appeared... Like Andoliva. Holy shit, he's like the complete antithesis of LotU and his band of tards.

    He was firmly into posting wacky shit that utterly defied logically classification.

    He was responsible for the Golden Byakugam (yes, the spelling is deliberately wrong) meme and posted threads made of such ando-logic (even more illogical than anti-logic) that you couldn't help but love him. Unless you were a uchihatard.

    If you let ando and LotU post on the boards simulatiously that flame wars beyond imagining would errupt.

    But regardless, the wailing and gnashing of teeth are everywhere... Sasuke has been labeled a chump and the term Gary-Stusuge has started making the rounds.

    There have been a few people questioning why, if he was a good guy, he tortured Sasuke so much... pointing out how he mind raped Sasuke twice and taunted him over and over... but people are replying "Because Kishimoto is a sucky writer and wouldn't know consistency of story if it bit him on the ass" more or less.

    Hey... who knows... maybe he's trying out a new tactic in manga writing... make such a mess of your manga that it's like a train wreck in slow motion... people just can't look away and are riveted to the disaster.

    You know, the more famous something gets, the more complains there going to get. Still, Kishi created a good manga that compelled millions of readers world wide.

    I just hope this series finishes quickly and be over with so we could move onto bleach. lol

    Yeah, at least Kubo knows how to not shit on the chest of his manga.

    Well, for a good long while there's been a lot of grief directed his way. Mostly fans saying "where's the fucking plot?" Until recently that is... Now suddenly Kubo is pulling out the stops and showing the fans that "yes" he's got a plan, and it looks to be a damn good one.

    People were pulling their hair out because the whole trip to hollow land seemed to be one "Bankai" after another with no real plot driving the story (since the ultimate end looked to be the killing off of Aizen (who, BTW is just utterly KICK ASS as far as villians go, especially with the newest chapters of bleach showing that his hypnosis bankai apparently isn't all that and a bag of chips after all... if you've been keeping up with the stories of the old captains you know what I'm talking about.

    Suddenly now we're getting serious backstory and plot BEFORE they become part of the story. Unlike Naruto where Kishi appears to make up fucking backstory on whatever wild ass whim he feels like with no apparent thought to how it affects the rest of the timeline and story background.

    Bleach is now looking seriously better...

    The one black note is that Naruto has at least 3 years of life still in it.

    This year is dedicated to Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi... so next year'll be more Sasuke and Naruto gayness, and then the following year'll be the wrap up most likely.

    Yes, copypastaing the same arc over again was a masterful move -_-.

    Hueco Mundo = Soul Society
    Espada = The 13 Captains
    Orihime = Rukia

    Only the latest few chapters have been saving grace.

    I wanna see more of the Ichigo who loves fighting. The one that dominated his hollow side because he admitted to enjoying cutting people in ribbons.

    EDIT: Yeah, Aizen is a bad ass villain. Kubo at least did that very, very well.

    heh, that smile looked more baddass than Sephy boy. Hell, he is probebly the most baddass character to this date i've ever seen. Never have i seen the main villan who acts polite or scolds his Espada like bad school preschoolers with only a twitch of his eye or the fall of his smile.

    Not to mention he constracted such a sophicated web of lies, it caught the whole of heaven in its web. This guy makes Darth Sedious looks like a kid trying to steal a candy from a baby.


    Hueco Mundo is actually pretty original and i give him kudos for that. Usually people usually go with "hell" because it's the opposite of heaven. And it's common sense. But this, he went an extra mile and was something pretty original he came up with.

    The espada thing, Aizen was heavely influenced by Soul Society so it's easy to understand why he came up with that idea.

    Unfortunatly, i agree with the Orihime - Rukia thing which was a huge turn off for me.

    Three more years of this filth? :wall:

    That's it! Naruto is now getting the Death Note treatment: It ended in the middle.

    After the Valley of the End, where they both died.

    *coughs*

    Bleach... has a plot? Honestly? I sorta liked the S.S. arc, but when the next arc was the same fucking thing... I find it hard to believe that Kubo has changed his ways.

    Really, I've lost interest in most shounen... the only one I still follow now is HxH (which started up again last month – thank you god), though, that's more a seinen than a shounen.

    On the subject of Aizen: You gotta love a villain whose good-to-evil transformation is taking off his glasses and running his hand through his hair. Go back and watch the episode, that's seriously all he did.

    This thread is now about Bleach.

    Yes, fighting eight year olds with a strong homosexual undertone is so meant for teenagers.

    =D

    Dude, I hope this isn't a surprise to you... I mean have you SEEN what Kishimoto looks like?

    The GHEY is strong with this one. He probably worships at Pedobear's altar

    ...Homosexual undertones? Yeah, I guess you could claim that, since there isn't a single female character of any importance in the entire manga. But at least the action is good. But really, it's no worse than Naruto (Kishi's already drawn two "yaoi scenes" to HxH's 0; and they're kids, so sexual orientation will never be in question anyway).

    Besides, YYH was written by the same guy who's doing HxH, so, I have faith the manga won't degenerate to the levels Kishi could go to.

    Not to mention Narutos fanatic obsession with Sasuke, Sasukes fanatic obsession with Itachi, Orochimaru (THE most pedophile looking villian ever, btw) blatantly saying that he "wants Sasukes body":rolleyes: and, of course, Sai.

    Dude, I'm totally there with you on the whole copy pastaing the arc thing.

    And I (like many fans) threw up my hands when it appeared to just be the soul society are redux...

    But with these last 4 chapters that've come out we're seeing the background that is setting the stage for something important I have the feeling. It's interesting because we know that the gotai 13 are going to likely get pwnt and the Vizard are gonna show up.

    Personally I'm hoping that Hiyori Sarugaki beats the ever loving shit out of Aizen with her sandle like she did with Shinji

    Or maybe have Shinji rip up Aizen's hypno power, scrunch it up in a ball, and toss it in a waste paper basket like he did in last issue. That'd be freaking hillarious.

    However, I'm expecting that Aizen and crew are going to look like they're getting defeated, and at that moment Orihime will "unmake" the Hōgyoku and that this will end up being some part of Aizen's ultimate plan.

    That's the thing with Bleach... at times you feel like it's rudderless and drifting... but then shit happens, and you see that those rudderless moments have actual importance later on, or that they serve to flesh out the story later.

    Stuff happens in Bleach... but it generally has a rhyme and reason to it. Which is good.

    Sai... Penis boy himself.

    LOL. God, when that shit went down in the manga... the lulz for that was epic

    I need to catch up w/ Bleach, but yeah, the most recent chapters have been epic. It was just a looong wait of rehashed fighting before it.

    Oh and the RAM FACE was EPIC.

    Why does the Kyuubi on the cover have the Sharingan?

    Didn't you know? The only way someone/something can be so powerful is only if they have the Sharingan :|

    Yeah, new chapter wasn't what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised for once.

    The fact that Sandaime and the top brass ordered Itachi to flee is very interesting. Especially if the Uchiha clan massacre had something to do with them orders. If that is what happened I can see Sasuke transferring that hate of Itachi toward Konoha. Maybe Sasuke is going to become one of the main antagonist of the series if he wants to destroy Konoha?
