for the same reason you don't?

I have watched/read everything you listed and loved most of them.

I also watch Bleach and enjoy it.

What now?

Why don't you read Bleach, OP?

>>36057744
No need to lie in this thread, dear /a/non.

I'm faithful to Kubo.

don't fucking tread on me

>>36057754
Because after experiencing better stuff, I can no longer enjoy such a substanceless series like Bleach.

Tastes evolve, and your pleasure derived from better series also increases.

>>36057669
>implying those are superior

>implying i don't read every genre

Kubo made another manga and it's better

>>36057669
what the fuck is going on in that pic?

>>36057813
You don't, /a/non. If you genuinely love Bleach, you still haven't experienced the fine anime and manga. So why insist on eternal casualfaggotry?

"KUBO IS MASTER TROLL ROFL XD" is the worst fucking meme ever created in /a/. It's just a shitty fucking excuse to post that shit here.

I do.

TRUTH: you read it because of peer pressure

"but I just wanted to fit in with my friends or in /a/!"

>>36057803
Well maybe if you're a gigantic elitist faggot who doesn't know the meaning of the term guilty pleasure.

I've read or watched about a third of that list in addition to plenty of your "Not limited to"s but that doesn't mean I don't still find Bleach fun and entertaining.

Go into everything expecting Tolstoy and you're certain to overheat your limited brain space rather quickly.

>>36057824

>>36057946
and this is a bad thing because?

>>36057972
someone said tolstoy?

>>36057910
Better than "OMG ODA IS THE BEST MANGAKA HOT WIFE LULZ XD"

>>36057972
/a/non, don't say that. You're implying that everything that requires some brain activity to understand is not as fun as something which lets you turn your brain off, like Bleach.

That's just not true.

>>36058063

Couldn't stop laughing after that part.

Wow, still no decent replies of people willing to move to a higher level of entertainment, or even well-read /a/nons.

>>36058276
thats what you think, I prob read more stuff than you, including all you listed,and still love Bleach

I did...
>Monster
Dropped. Was ok, I just got bored with it.

>Lain
Pretentious shit. Dropped pretty quickly.

>Vinland Saga
Fuck yeah! Too long between chapters, though.

>Lone Wolf & Cub
Only seen the movies.

>TTGL
Fuck year, again.

Haven't seen the others.

>>36057807
>Implying that Bleach is better than Mushishi or Monster

>>36058329
That's a small start. Keep trying, /a/non. Some of those can be very rewarding experiences. Too bad about Monster and Lain.

>>36058329
>Monster

>>36057852
>implying i don't read it to pass time

>>36058432
Fuck you faggot, I take Ritalin and I loved all the shows OP mentioned. It's thanks to Ritalin that I could watch Kino no Tabi in one sitting without bursting on fire.

>>36058276
Yes, actually, there's been a bunch. Most of whom are not, if you can believe it, terribly concerned with one pretentious idiot's opinion of their personal reading/watching habits.

Some of them can even enjoy various "levels" of entertainment simultaneously!

Hard to believe that not everyone NEEDS to be reading mature manga for mature weaboos such as themselves 24/7 just in case an invisible literary critic is perched on their shoulder judging them.

>>36058450
We all read manga or watch anime to pass time, /a/non, doesn't mean your pastime has to be an unrewarding, fruitless experience. If you have to turn your brain off to enjoy something that's not eating, sleeping or sex, this very thing might not be worthy in the first place.

>>36058432
I'm closer to 30. Maybe that's why I don't tolerate series that try to be "deep" or "mature". I read manga for the childish entertainment value.

>>36058526
I'm close to 30 myself, applying to a Law PHD and still can see /b/leach is shit and not worth my time, try harder faggot

>>36058526
Oh god, I hope I don't grow up to be a retard like you. Did you really wasted 30 years of your life without maturing your tastes one bit? I feel better now.

>Implying I can only read one series at a time

>Monster

I haven't.

>Mushishi

What's that?

>Haibane Renmei

What?

>Lain

A friend did suggest it.

>NGE

Not interested honestly

>Eden

>BLAME!

>Vinland Saga

>Lone Wolf & Cub

What?

>Gun/Diebuster

This is kinda like TTGL?

>TTGL

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?

>Nausicaa

Isn't that a film?

>>36058644
But then why don't you read better written stories, with better characters, something that doesn't let you down every week? Why not only insist, but be actually happy with mediocrity?

You know you could be reading something better, like the manga in my first post. Yet you don't, and it's not lack of time either.

>>36058647
Average bleachkid.

I read:

Claymore, Vinland Saga, Ravages of Time, Beach Stars, Bartender, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Teppu, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Soul Eater, and a few others from month to month.

You are smalltime, OP.

>>36058597
Nope, I'm a pretty normal guy. It's people like you who take this manga shit too seriously that need to grow up. As I said, it's just childish entertainment. If I want something else, I either read books or actually live my life.

>>36058575
My PhD in mathematics shits on your Law degree, and if you're actually close to 30 and still care what manga other people read then there's something wrong with you. I admit Bleach is shit, though. I never claimed otherwise.

>>36058647
TTGL is my favorite anime.

And this post makes me angry.

>>36058647
See OP, this is the average bleachfag population you're dealing with. I see what you're trying to do but it's pointless.

>>36057669

Why do you assume I don't read and watch those things?

>>36058647
Get the fuck out.

>>36058647

>>36058753
>>36058762
One of these two reeks samefag, but I can't discern which...

>>36058762

Actually, I hate Bleach. I only read it to see the end now.

And I read plenty of other stuff, just not those examples.

>>36058771
> My PhD in mathematics shits on your Law degree

good luck even trying to make $200k/yr with that

>>36058801

Liked it
>TTGL
Just horrible and the fanbase is worse
I read bleach out of habit, I just wonder what the next asspull will be. Wait, I don't even read it, just the summary's in /a/, not that you need anything more to follow bleach.

Now now kiddies, to bed off you go.

>>36058771
implying your better? You don't even know whats a good manga durp

>>36058870
> >Eden, BLAME!, Vinland Saga, Monsternot interested in this kind of seinen
Kill yourself right now.

Also, nausicaa manga > the movie which was probably what you refered to.

>>36058855
Maybe not, but I make good money doing something I enjoy.

>>36058813
> Why do you assume I don't read and watch those things?

Because you're content with the mediocrity that is Bleach. Please refer to my first post - I'm not addressing casual bleach readers, I'm adressing people who actually like or even love it.

>>36058771
People like you are the ones fucking killing /a/ for everyone else. The lack of passionate people here and casual readers/watchers are the biggest problem this board and 4chan as a whole have.

Over /v/ you guys flood everything with Halo and WoW.
And over here it's a horrible endless shitposting about Big Three.

Seriously, why the mods stopped banning horrible faggots like you is what baffles me the most. Get the fuck out.

OP here again.

Try this bleach kiddies:
http://www.mangatoshokan.com/series/Kubikiri-Asa

An actual good manga. Wasn't today's chapter disappointing as usual? See, this is what a good manga is like. This will make you happy.

Naruto is for fags and kids
Bleach is for teenagers and casualfags
One piece is for pretentious 20 yr old faggots
Gintama is for weeaboos on meds

the old generalization remains true

Reading Bleach take about 30 seconds every week. There is nothing wrong with doing it, problems start when kids start to think this shit is good.

>>36059145
Dude, seriously, stop trying. EVERYONE knows the people who read Big Three are the worst kind of anime fans, and for years we tried to keep them off /a/. Only around September-October of '09 we had a mysteriously huge boom and they invaded en masse.

They are NOT going to leave. They are NOT going to move somewhere else. Trying to put some sense and good taste on them is utterly useless. Just put ya filter on and sigh it away like everyone else.

>>36058996 mediocrity

Actually, I appreciate it for its unique characteristics and high discussability.

>>36059269
>>36059269
pre-SS: YuYu Hakusho
Soul Society arc: typical shounen rescue arc
HM arc: no backgrounds, somehow manages to be the low point of the series
Ichigo SSJ2 vs. Ulquiorra: Demon Yusuke vs. Sensui
FKT arc: no one dies except maybe old man, no one uses bankai except shota, furry and soifon, espadas get one-shotted, did we kill aizen yet?
Aizen, Ichigo and Hougyoku: Naraku, Inuyasha and Shikon Jewel
Precipice World: Time Chamber
Everything: Training arc, just as planned

SO UNIQUE AND SPESHUL

>>36059026
>Seriously, why the mods stopped banning horrible faggots like you is what baffles me the most. Get the fuck out.

maybe you should make your own board, because nobody here gives a fuck what you think.

>>36059145

Samurai Executioner was indeed an excellent series, but I already read it about... 5 years ago?

Got any more recently translated suggestions?

Saging a thread about one of the Big 3.

>>36059401
Sure do, dear /a/non
http://www.mangatoshokan.com/series/Oyasumi-Punpun
or Eden, which just had it's last chapters scanlated a few months ago.

>>36059379
Yeah, that's what the average newfag like you believes. A-san has already stated many times how you faggos need to fuck off. The only reason he can't send you faggots to Gaia faster is because he's quite busy with work.

>>36059444
bumping the thread just because of this faggot

>>36059480

I already am familiar with Goodnight Punpun. Solanin as well. I do have a couple years catchup to do with Eden though.

>>36059490
>REALITY DISTORTION FIELD. WAAAA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

maybe you should head over to animesuki so you can discuss your mature anime with the mature people who appreciate the high art over there.

>>36059643 implying any serialized manga is high art

>>36057669
OP, are you implying you can't follow more than one series at once? I read Bleach because I started it years ago and fuck if I'm going to give up on it, even if turned shit after SS arc.

I also read/read Moyashimon, Wolf Guy, Franken Fran, Kimi No Todoke and plenty of other stuff.

>>36059704

They're not high art, indeed, but certainly have a lot more artistic merit and creativity than Bleach, while still deeply entertaining a critical mind.

>>36059856
>while still deeply entertaining a critical mind.
>AM I KAWAII ~uguu

>>36059877
Don't greentext just because, /a/non. The time you spent replying that could be used to read a few pages or track a torrent for that show you always wanted to give a try.

>>36059490
I'm fucking sick of people quoting that mod. He fucking said that Big 3 discussion is fine, it's just that the posters are more likely to be retarded.

How the fuck hard is this for you people to understand?

>>36059973
apparently not as hard as for you fags keeping your kuboshit in a single thread

>Wow, still no decent replies of people willing to move to a higher level of entertainment, or even well-read /a/nons.

These threads that pretend that any anime or manga series can actually be deep, engaging forms of entertainment crack me up.

Looking for a higher level of entertainment? Get your ass of /a/.

>>36059931
ok, I'll bite. Link me to a show that's "deeply entertaining to a critical mind". Make it not an overly long one, and I promise I will read it from start to finish with an open mind. I'm serious about this.

But I already have, /a/non:
>>36060028
>>36059816
>>36059480
>>36059145
>>36057669

As I said, more entertaining, better written, better stories, better characterization...

>>36057669
>HURR WHY DON'T YOU SHARE MY INTERESTS?!?!? BAWWWWWWWW

>>36060086
Just recommend me one that's particularly good. From those listed I've read Monster, Lain, Vinland, TTGL, Lone Wolf & Cub and NGE. I know nothing about the others.

>>36060170
If you liked Lone Wolf & Cub, Kubikiri Asa is it's predecessor/sister work. That or Sexy Voice & Robo.

>>36060170
Oh, and Mushishi for anime.

>>36060218
I'll check out sexy voice and robo, then.

>OP's recommended list - Pretentious mindless entertainment with shitty predictable writing.

>Bleach - Mindless entertainment with shitty predictable writing that constantly takes the piss out of itself.

Unlike OP I am not an elitist faggot that takes anime and manga to be some amazing and complex art form.

inb4 GLORIOUS NIPPON

>>36060266
Taking anime and manga casually and insisting on watching and reading bad things are two entirely different things. You think you belong on the former, but in fact you're grouped in the latter.

But i do read other stuff... kekkaishi, naruto, negima, sankarea, etc, etc

OP, I am a diehard Bleachfag.
On top of this, I have seen/read and hated half the series you just listed and have not and will purposefully not read/watch the other half.

Since my delicious ignorance and refusal to 'educate myself' mean this much to you I just thought I'd share for shits and giggles.

>>36060457
Nawww, I can spot a troll. Godbless.

>>36060359
Now we can be in the second group together!

>>36060501
Obviously you can't; I'm dead serious. If it makes you more comfortable to think Anons like me don't exist though, that's cool too.

because im fairly new to anime and starting out watching shitty anime that i will no longer enjoy after watching better animes which in turn will make those other animes better

>>36060016
More fans, more threads. It is inevitable.

>>36060557
> Obviously you can't; I'm dead serious. If it makes you more comfortable to think Anons like me don't exist though, that's cool too

So you're honestly claiming that, not only you're a diehard Bleach fan, you also hated half the series on my initial post and will willingfully not watch the other half? If I can't discredit such an inconsiderate post as a troll, this leaves me simply ignorance, and the question "what the hell are you even doing here?".

>>36060266 Bleach... constantly takes the piss out of itself.

This is a major factor in its enjoyability, yes.

>>36060766
Bleach is the number one SJ manga taking itself too seriously.

This entire aizen ordeal is the most contrived thing i've read in recent years.

I've read and watched almost all those, and still read Bleach. Suck your own dick.

>>36060888
As I said before, no need to lie in this thread, I'm not judging.

>>36060260
Ok, I read ~100 pages of sexy voice and robo. Not sure what to say at this point. It's neither particularly bad nor good. Will read the rest tomorrow.

>>36060764
What am I doing here? Enjoying myself, unlike you pretentiousfag.

>>36060838
Bleach is all about being contrived, but they always turn around eventually and point out how retarded it is themselves.

>>36061153
And then you realize you've spent countless days reading, rereading and discussing about something that by your own words, is retarded. I really don't see the point.

>>36060838

What's so "contrived" about it? Sure, you can scream retcon until you're blue in the face, but the fact remains that the convenience of the initial plotline had long before been called out by some readers as a future plot hook, and accepted by the majority of the audience only because of genre convention.

Its good imo, thats why.

>>36061230
I spend ~5 minutes (give or take) every week reading Bleach. OH NOES I'M WASTING MY LIFE

>>36061242
>but the fact remains that the convenience of the initial plotline had long before been called out by some readers as a future plot hook, and accepted by the majority of the audience only because of genre convention.

As contrived as this sentence. Remember, people don't know which thoughts you are trying to put into words - you have to actually write them first.

>>36061286
It's not just that, /a/non, you make it sound so casual... It's about the time you spent reading every single chapter, watching episodes, downloading and looking for torrents and related stuff, reading about it and talking on /a/ and elsewhere about it - very time consuming tasks, which could be put to better use, which dare I say - would be more fun for you.

>Watched Bleach
>Watched/read most of the op stuff
>Watched One Piece

After all that, bleach is meh to me, except of Kenpachi. I still read chapters but ain't passionate about it as I used to be. I'm more One Piece fan as now, and I utterly enjoy it. And I enjoy reading everything else as you stated OP

In all, you're a fag, OP.

>>36061433
I dropped the anime a few years ago, and I don't discuss bleach much, tbh. I also find it ironic that you hate bleach, yet spend your time in bleach threads telling people who like bleach that they're wasting their lives discussing it on 4chan.

>>36061333

Oh, you're using the word "contrived" to mean its exact opposite.

That explains a lot.

>>36061547
So you don't fit at all in this thread, huh? See >>36058996

>>36061568
Life has these things, it can't be helped. Pic horrible yet related.

OP has spent more time complaining about Bleach today then I've spent thinking about it in the last month.

To the person who recommended Sexy voice and robo: Does it get better? It's ok so far, but nothing ground breaking.

>>36057669
I read/watched almost all that you have listed, and I do admit Bleach is shit.

However long-running manga/anime is more appealing to me than short-running ones, hence why I still read Bleach.

why hasn't anyone pointed out OP's pic?

>>36057669
i have watched a couple of the 1 u mentioned..i still watch bleach cuz if mah favorite of the ongoing series so while i wait for the next ep i watch other series...

You're all fucking idiots

He's reverse-trolling.

Bleach is the worst of the 3. I think most people just read it because it comes out at the same time as One Piece (and Naruto, to a lesser degree), and out of habit. At least, that's why I do.

>>36061821
I'm not impersonating anyhting or anyone, I can see why people would think I'm trolling, even though I'll personally say I'm not, but reverse-trolling? You don't know what that means, sir.

>>36061723

It's an OLD joke.

>>36061908

A troll bashes a series they hate to make its fans angry.

A reverse-troll bashes a series they like to exploit the contrarian nature of the board to make people like and/or discuss it.

It can also go the other direction, expressing ludicrously fanatical support for something to get people to hate it.

>>36061908
You're clearly an idiot then. It's pretty obvious you're trolling right now (and albeit being successful at it).

All anime is shitty to someone.

That is what it means to be art, different interpretations for different people as we all see the world differently.

inb4 no one knows what art is
