As far a filler goes, the bount arc is actually really well done compared to other filler (Naruto)Originally Posted by *ETERNAL FANTASY*
After the bount arc is the arrancar arc. Since the bount arc is filler, you can skip it, but there are a few details that you won't get in the arrancar arc. (Some character references)
Yeah the Bleach fillers really aren't bad at all. In fact the current filler arc is actually pretty damn good as far as they go. Bleach is awesome casual viewing for mine, don't have to think to much about it, samurai style people do cool <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /> that makes things explode and people die. The story arcs are alright, if a little teen angsty at times. But yeah it's just an enjoyable series to sit back and read/watch. And then every now and then it drops something totally awesome on you. Most of the characters are great as well, can't think of many that I don't like in some way.
I prefer Bleach. The first season was my favorite! Then it went the way of many others of its kind and it didn't seem as awesome and unique to me. Still pretty good, though.
The key to enjoying these anime is to not watch them one episode a week and skip filler if it bores you xD
The manga I haven't read, and I don't watch Naruto anymore. It's Sasuke this and Sasuke that. They should just let him be IMHO. Neat music, though.
Gintama + Samurai Champloo. Yes, please.
I would start recommending alternatives to Naruto, but the stuff I watch is not exactly the easiest to start with, thematically speaking. Haruhi is agreat gateway drug and crack is easily obtainablegood animu to start with. Or Pokemon, season one. Only season one. There are no Pokemon past 151.
"If you want to see some action...
got to be the center
OF A TRAK SHUN"
My god, the first time I heard this I laughed so hard. It was kind of a badass moment for Ichigo, and this song was just so out there. I later found out (after I stopped watching) that the same guy who's in charge of Bleach's soundtrack also did Evangelion's.
Funny how you mention Ichigo's similarity to Yu Yu Yusuke. It never really crossed my mind before, but Bleach is *a lot* like Yu Yu Hakusho.
Gintama is awesome. Yes.
You might want to check out Soul Eater too, it's a similarly targeted show, but it's been pre-set for 51 episodes so you can expect things to be pretty tight. The production value of the average Soul Eater episode is much higher than you would find in an average Naruto or Bleach episode--something to be expected for a show with a designated time frame and veteran staff. If you liked Full Metal Alchemist, a lot of the creative forces behind that show are making Soul Eater. Check it out.
Some of the Bleach songs are fairly dire yes, but some of them are also fairly awesome. In fact there have been better songs the longer it's gone on, since the Arrancars came into it and now in this new filler arc there are some quality songs. Also the Diamond Dust Rebellion has a smurfing badass soundtrack.
God yes. The later seasons are awful.
Watch Gurren Lagaan on Sci-Fi.
Or better, get the DVDs and watch it in Japanese like it's supposed to be heard. Simon's voice in the dub is so smurfing irritating it almost makes it hard to watch. Yoko's and Ron's voices are perfect though.Watch Gurren Lagaan on Sci-Fi.
You seem to have a logic error there, based on what I've watched of bebop.
*reads rest of thread*
Not really. Compared to a good number of very popular shonen shows, Bebop is short. Its narrative style is almost completely self-contained; you don't need most of the other episodes to appreciate the one that you're watching. 26 episodes versus 200+ along with an upcoming second season? Bebop gets to the point pretty damn quickly. The point of course, is that Spike is awesome.
I can suggest Baccano!, which is plain awesome, and it works great with appealing to the Western tastes. Its only flaw is that it is confusing for a grand total of 8 minutes into the first episode. Or anything CLAMP, because their style of writing is able to appeal to males and females equally.
I like Kanno's post so pretend like I quoted him.
But let me warn you, the Naruto anime has these occasional episodes where the quality just turns into remorseless eye torture. *cough*fillerarcs*cough*
After the Time Skip, I've stuck to the manga, save for a few anime adaptions of badass parts in the manga. Well, every chapter of the manga is awesome because: NO CRAPPY FILLERS.
Make sure if you're trying to pick 'the right anime' don't watch it one episode a week, try and find a good place to start and go on from there. ( like the beginning, lol ) And don't start watching with a bias, think of all this stuff as factors on which one to choose first, and all those other great animes/mangas that were suggested.

Well as long as we're recommending stuff, Trigun is definitely my favorite action anime. I just love the little kitty that pops up everywhere.
