I must admit I like that too, but just not the way they set it up.
The cast is talking about horrible, life altering tragedies, kidnapping, murder, scandal. Meanwhile the penguins are looking through porno mags and eating everything, trying to make a comical situation at the same time as a tragic one.
It's like a serious mood whiplash in the same scenario.

Sorry guys but the Greed Island final ending of Hunter x Hunter is still the best I've heard. :colbert:
What do you guys have against HxH?

When else are they going to show it? Those dramatic moments resulted in many serious relationship changes throughout the series. It wouldn't make sense for the penguins to pantomime the ever-changing relationships between the characters after the fact, because you wouldn't understand what they were referencing. It has to be in the moment.

It really adds another layer to those interactions. Underneath the serious drama, you had a simplistic reflection of how this drama was changing the relationships between the characters.

I'm not sure if the following was intended, but another reason I liked the penguins was because it reinforced the fact that they're all children throwing themselves into an adult world.

Okay that thing was too DBZ like and the art was pretty bad a lot of time because the artist had problems keeping deadlines.
But apart from that it's pretty awesome, no?

It's meh. Generic shonen. Character development stagnated, arcs dragging on for far too long (I did not enjoy Greed Island when it reached the dodgeball part), Deus Ex Machina out of nowhere in the form of Alluka, and now this bullshit about an Outside World right after the only consistent plot thread (find Ging when Gon is a great Hunter) is resolved which seems like an excuse for filler for years to come.

How comes you enjoy Bleach when it has the same flaws, only worse...?

Speaking of Bleach, it turns out that the mysterious Quincy/Arrancar/whatevers can do Bankai, and I think Ivan was trying to steal Ichigo's bankai, which means they've likely stolen powers from other people.

Also, shitload of new characters at the end of the chapter. Goddamnit, it's going to take awhile to sort these out in my head. :/

When did I ever say I enjoy Bleach? I read it because I'm this far into the story so I'm going to stick it out.

Also I put HxH higher than Bleach because at least HxH lets other characters be useful instead of Ichigo's "I'm gonna do everything and save everyone" shit. Also it helps that when Gon has no chance against the big bad it generally stays that way instead of 11th Hour Superpower.

daisies IT. Well I might just do what I did with Death Note: read until L's death (in bleach's case Aizen's defeat) then skip to the very end when it is done.

The difference being that the second half of Death Note isn't bad

I also don't understand why you'd keep reading something you don't enjoy.
