Anime: Basically a Talk show

[Blueman]

Don't you agree with me?

It takes dozens of episodes to finish one single fight!

Examples: Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z (worst of them all!)...there are many others, but I don't feel like listing them.

 

[impart]

oh, dude totally. yu-gi-oh I stooped watching it because i never knew what was going on they were always dueling!!!!! 5 EPISODES PER DUEL!!!!!!

Apparently, fights are the best time to divulge important information.

 

[afrobutt]

Or you could watch decent anime

^idk, seems like there is something like that in almost every non-romance show. Not to the degree of the popular shounen titles, but still, it's usually there in some degree.

Cowboy bebop?

Lol. though i do have to agree with you. a lot of anime tend to end up making huge ass fights. those are the ones that are popular but aren't as good as shows such as Cowboy Bebop and i believe Code Geass though i'm only into episode 20 of the first season and it has two 25 episode seasons. actually now that i mention it. it tends to be the longer anime series that mainly have the huge ass battles. i believe that must be due to the fact that they want to take up more space so they unwind and add lots upon lots of huge battles. ^_^;;;

you do hav to understand yu gi oh was just that kind of show, without the talking the show would hav ended before it began and plus its good to hear the stragety of yugi or whoever the player is and it really is a thinking game and with there being a twist in stragety for every new player it was good to have all the talking and its tv, it has to be long and drawn out, its the way tv is! its better than naruto in which the taalking is only to describe the life story and struggle of the fighter but still its tv thats just what you have to deal with and it can get tedious at times but you still want to know what happens right?

True, but what Code Geass season 1 lacked in that it made up for with quite possibly the most random cliffhanger moment in anime history, lol.

An example of this trend that I thought was the most blatant form of this was in the recent Naruto chapters. Pain basically said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you my plan or not; but whatever, I'll tell you anyway."

hmm i do see what you mean as possibility though i never paid attention to that detail. that and i've only started to watch them on youtube xD. no i know what you mean Naruto, Bleach Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT and Etc. are all examples that clearly state how unnecceisarily long they are and thus boost their ratings with overly long battles. it makes sense in a way to do that. however it's very unattractive. lol.

but still 2 and a half hours of little kids tossing cards with holographic monsters back and forth? that makes me draw the line. xD

 

[Nyangoro]

If they didn't draw the line during production of an anime based on placing cards on a board, then there was no stopping them anyway, lol.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

This thread is stupid.

Go watch Berserk.

 

[blinkboy211]

Only thing I can think of from the title was Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Last I checked that wasn't technically an anime.

 

[SoRaBhK_dUdE]

Gawd just watch some Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Exactly.


Things like Naruto and Bleach, read the manga. Cuts out the ten minutes of mindless blathering and puts it into a page or two. Then the fighting continues. Best part is, it's much easier to fast forward pages.
