Re: xi0 thread.
Bush was on the receiving end of the phone?
Well the Kage fights so far were the best, together with Pain/Itachi vs. Naruto/Bee. Still nothing outstanding but at least enjoyable and far away from the Pain Invasion arc disaster.
lol, I approve of that wishful thinking. Hope dies last I guess
I watched the Nagato/Itachi fight actually. Some moments were terrible, others were okay, others were good. I'm just amazed at how bored I am of the anime. Years ago I would look forward to every episode, as I looked forward to the manga being animated, but now I just notice all the bad things and can't find much enjoyment in them. There's just so many illogical happenings in the anime. When there's something dull in the manga, it looks even worse in the anime. Just wait for the Juubi fight. When X is dying, the anime will use an entire episode on people's reactions etc etc. Meanwhile Juubi is just standing there, enjoying the view, or something like that.
So, where are you at now?
I watched episode 14 last night.
Really good so far. I'm intrigued by the story's concept with the Sybil system. A rather mindfuck to be honest. Makishima is a rather intriguing villain, definitely my favorite character in the series. In a way he's completely right, humanity being caged up, never questioning an "all answering system" that shouldn't be 100% trusted, is wrong. People need to live, to make their own choices. To be
human. In a way, the system is pure evil. Caging up people that might not ever commit a crime. People that are great personalities. In a way I find myself drawing parallels to Death Note. While crimes and wars were greatly reduced by Kira, his actions were wrong. The same can be said about the Sybil system.
