    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Longest anime I ever watched was DBZ back when I was a teen with admittedly both a higher attention span and a higher tolerance for shounen action anime than I do now. I just can't take super long stories like that anymore. Just personal thing.
    If you're not into super long stories I can recommend the anime Jujutsu Kaisen. It's got one finished season, one prequel movie and a currently ongoing second season.

    The gimmick is that overwhelming negative emotions give people super powers and causes evil spirits to appear. The people with super powers fight the evil spirits. It's got a tight story and plot, great animation, a cool (if somewhat overly complex at times) power system, and a protagonist who isn't quite the same archetype as Asta, Luffy and Goku. Has quite a modern feel to it.

    Pretty much. I'd recommend watching the movie and then skipping the episodes covering the same part. It's just repetition.

    So, I can't confirm this, but someone supposedly asked the creator of God of war if Kratos could beat Marvel's Thor, and he responded with something to the effect of "of course not, Kratos couldn't even beat Spider-Man"

    I mean Spider-Man IS really fast and agile. At least when I played the old GOW Kratos very much wasn't. I could see Spidey dodging circles around Kratos.

    Heh, reminds of a quote from Kishimoto saying that Naruto characters would be helpless against guns.

    I got to admit, can't wait for my vacation next week.

    I'll probably still hate the plane rides but seeing how I'll be working everyday till then...Yeah, I'm burnt on work.

    Huh, a foreboding thought: What if Insomniac adapts Morlun to their universe? I'd actually advocate for Pete keeping a small sample of the Venom symbiote around. Just in case.
    Ichigo: What even *are* you?!

    Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
