And there's not one bit of romance and I like it that way.

Eh I like a good romance. Just not as the main focus. It works better as a side plot.
Unless it's a yuri anime.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
But people seem to find it necessary to make a romance the main focus instead of the actual main focus.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
I think it just depends on how it works in the show.
In something like Inuyasha it fits. (except for the awful pacing issues. But that was a problem with the show not the romance.) It also worked well in SAO, but that was because it was only the focus of a few episodes.
Where as in something like Bleach it doesn't fit all that much into the main plot.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
I can agree with Inuyasha, but I found the romance in SAO completely unnecassary, and it just ruined a show with so much potentially for an awesome shonen.

Conversly, I found the romance to be the best part of the show, and it made it better then just the same old cliche shonen.
Guess we'll just Agree to Dissagree.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
There needs to be a balance of romance and shonen, and SAO didn't do that.
Seriously, Asuna's whole existence was tsundere, and almost nothing else.

I didn't ever see her as a Tsundere. And there was plenty of mixing between romance and Shonen scenes.
Looks like everyone wants Luffy to get this
Time for Soul Eater!

Once Luffy puts his mind to something and gets serious, everyone likes him.

Aw, looks like the Rave Master anime never got finished.
Oh well, apparently the Manga was better anyway.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
In most cases when the anime doesn't deliver, the manga is so much better.

Which is why I never watched the anime and stuck solely to manga.

I like this background with Asura.
Old Death was cool.

The history before the start of the series is awesome.

It looks creepy in a cool way
And the theme of Fear is great for a series like this, and a character like stein.

Re: Anime and sometimes manga club
Each of Shinigami-sama's people from way back when each represented a different aspect of Madness, ie Asura is Fear, Excalibur is Anger, etc etc.

Wait....Excalibur is Anger?
He seems to have the theme of arrogance.
I need to read the manga.

Their aspect isn't what they are, but what they incite on others.
Also, Eibon is Wisdom, and Shinigami-sama is Order

I wonder how this would've gone if they stuck to the plan.
