edit: I take it all back. One Piece has restored my faith. It's just such an awesome pick-me-up of a show, pineapple.
I know this guy -- I've known him since middle school -- and for a year he was like "yo man you GOTTA try Bleach," so I gave it a shot. Roughly fifty episodes. And after the first main arc, I was bored out of my pomegranateting mind, goddamn. So I checked the episode list, and there are hundreds of episodes. Hundreds. How can this even happen? How can things not be resolved by now? Mother of god. I told my friend about it, and he goes "oh, after episode 100 it gets better." Episode pineappleing 100. I asked him if he enjoyed any shorter shows. Another friend of his, who happened to be with us at the time, chuckled and said that "anything with less than 30 episodes isn't worth watching." Then he suggested watching One Piece, and some slice of life series revolving around young girls who go to school. Except it isn't Azumanga Daioh. BUT I DIGRESS.
How can you enjoy this? It just goes on and on with no end in sight, and it doesn't even matter when the main character gets stronger, because there's always some new villain who is "just too strong" for everyone, until the protagonist pulls a win out of his ass again and you flip your pomegranate like it's never happened before. I suppose I can understand the nostalgia factor for some shows, but I simply cannot understand the hubub about these 500 episode cartoons that follow the same goddamned pattern. I'd rather watch a show that ends before it gets stale, but that's just me.
pomegranate, and here I am giving One Piece a shot because it actually looks interesting, and of course it's over 400 goddamned episodes. And it still isn't done. That guy still hasn't gotten his treasure. 400 goddamned episodes.
