Newly airing anime Arcana Famiglia (or La storia della Arcana Famiglia) has been guardedly well received, with something for both otaku and fujoshi audiences, and what looks to be the best tailoring of the season…

    So they're saying that Bleach would look good if the protagonist is a girl and everybody else is a guy? LOLWUT?

    They're saying Bleach would be good if it dedicated itself to telling a beginning middle and a permanent end with a suitable budget allocated to just that many episodes, namely the 10-20-something episodes this is assumed to have instead of becoming a cash cow with 400+ episodes of stretched budget, rinse lather and repeat. Also don't forget to use Bleach this wash cycle, i want those undies coming out white this time :P

    Well how exactly do you put an 499+ chapter manga into 10-20 episodes? Comparing it to Bleach is silly. Especially as first seasons were really good.

    You could squeeze Bleach down that much if you cut out all the pointless parts (you know, 95% of the manga).

    @17:38 Do you even know that mangas are supposed to make money for author? So one tries to make them as long as possible. And pointless 95%? Who are you to decide what is pointless or not?

    Bleach is the adolescence-boy version of Mexican soap operas. Prove me wrong before downrating.

    Definitely gives off a BL vibe, but at least we get to listen to the soft gentle voice of Mamiko Noto.

    It's just your standard reverse harem set-up.

    Guys are practically always Bishies in those, Hakuouki Shinsengumi was the same way.

    Or Ouran High School Host Club.

    Mind you, the episode was pretty decent, although I couldn't quite shake the feeling the they were rushing somewhat. Pacing seemed a tad fast, compared to some of the other shows like this that I've seen.

    Reverse harems always have Bishies afaik.
    Just think of Hakuouki Shinsengumi for instance.

    Lot of pretty boys, but the extent of their attraction to one and other can be filed into the bromance category.

    Same would apply to Ouran High School Host Club.

    So folks really need not worry about them ending up watching something akin to Junjo Romantica. It's not that type of show.

    Wait a second...
    Is this guy saying Bleach would be "good" if it were a reverse harem? if it were full of "pretty" boys wagging their balls on pretty much the only female character in the series? if it were filled with faggotry?

    Sankaku, you disappoint me.

    Btw, WHAT THE FUCK IS AN OTOME ADAPTION DOING ON SANKAKU?

    No, pretty much everything after Rukia was taken to the Soul Society was. I'd only consider the first season to be any good. After that, things went downhill and only got worse after Rukia was saved. I gave up in the middle of season 4, as it hadn't been particularly worth watching in quite a while, and aside from the occasional cool moment to string viewers along, it was tedious filler ninety percent of the time.

    A majority of those who liked Bleach would disagree with you. Also, if you really thought that then you wouldn't have lasted all the way to season 4.

    My assumption was that it would return to more like how it was during the first season once the Soul Society arc ended. I also initially assumed they would only be there for one season, but they dragged it out into two using tons of filler. Once they got back, things were worse than ever and the original story seemed to be going nowhere, and I eventually decided it was no longer worth my time.

    Yeah after SS arc I personally dropped it as well. Also this show looks like everything I hate in a show, but then again I always give it the 3-5 episode rule before I pass judgement...

    (episodes done downloading...)

    hoo boy here we go... back in a few people... seriously not expecting much tho.

    So far:

    Tari Tari: Yay

    Jinrui wa SUitai SHimashita: Nay

    Muv-Luv: Surprisingly Yay

    Campione!: Barely got a Yay

    Chitose get you: 3 min ep. wtf?

    With out watching it, i can say it looks like Reborn instead but with a girl protagonist so hopefully it wont have the get back in the kitchen overtones Reborn had.

    I really liked it as it was different but damn is that a sexist anime.

    True story. I'd rather watch the same scene with tits than some plotless shit with bishounens licking each other's sausage and pinching nipples.

    Comment by Anonymous

    Well on the flip side generic harem anime is plotless shit with girls fawning over a loser. Examples are like Love Hina, Infinite Stratos, HS DxD.

    Sex sells, most of the anime fans are guys, so it's obvious this kind of anime would be slammed.

    Though there are many anime's that are plotness anyways, not just the fujoshi ones.
