... unless they're irrelevant characters, like Yamamoto's slave guy. In which case I don't give a shit.

[*]They were taken out incredibly fast.
[*]Kirge's abilities were intended to be exposed and explained as Ichigo battles him.
[/list=1]

It also doesn't bother me all that much, since we know exactly what Harribel's Fraccion can do. The same was not true of Sasakibe.

So far One Piece is above Naruto this week. A lot of good exposition and Smoker/Tashigi were funny.

This is a good week.

I really like the backstory stuff, so
1) Naruto
2) Fairy Tail (but it's close, I'm tempted to give it 1)
3) One Piece (even a cool villain reveal is only enough for 3rd!)

And we'll see where Bleach lands soon enough.

Meh...I liked Kabuto's backstory a lot though I wouldn't put it above the exposition in One Piece. I'm just glad to know that my favorite Supernova wasn't killed by Brownbeard.

We got a new Logia and this one seems to be worth something, unlike Swamp guy(forgot his name...Caribou or something).

Between Naruto and One Piece a lot of kids are being kidnapped lol.

Bleach is out and was probably the one I liked most. Conspiracy theories and shit.

1. One Piece -lots of info and intrique.
2. Bleach - surprisingly competent and interesting.
3. Naruto - kind of boring and non-sensical.

Update:
I put Bleach at 3, making it:

1) Naruto
2) Fairy Tail
3) Bleach
4) One Piece

Overall, very good week. All of them have exposition and a lot learned. Naruto has the most emotional moment (and I do care about Kabuto's past and motive), and Fairy Tail is the one with the best fight. 3 and 4 is because they're talking about stuff, while Naruto is doing development by showing the events. Bleach has the best plot reveal, though OP's villain is pretty good too.

1. Bleach
2. Naruto
3. One Piece

Btw, how I rate roughly-
1) Character development
2) Fights
3) Exposition/World building
4) Comedy

Now, of course, good examples of the lower down ones will easily outrate ones normally higher on the list. Not-so great fight. Also if something's been done a lot lately it gets bumped down (i.e. after a string of exposition, comedy's higher, and if there hasn't been humor in awhile it can top everything. A bunch of character development, get to the fighting! Etc.). But all-else being equal, I'll rate them in that order.

Ever wonder how much animated series cost per episode?

Apparently it is Golden Week this week. No WSJ.

Oh, crud.

Well, then Fairy Tail wins by default!

And it actually had a really good chapter too, it subverted my expectations.

Springtime of Youth wins. 😛

Springtime of youth was lame, as usual. 😐

estahuh

But it makes me laugh, every time.

There was a new Springtime of Youth?

*Checks it out* Ok, that was fun ("You think you're going to be as strong as the Main Character from the start??"😉, but FT was still better 🙂

Which HST character do you look the most like? AND....who do you imagine other posters would look like?

For example, I look more like Luffy than anyone I can think of at the moment. And I imagine that wakkawakkawakka looks like Usopp(

Spoiler:
Sogeking

Kabuto, I guess.

Minus the horns and tail.

You have white/silver/gray hair?
