I started reading the manga but then I started watching the anime, which was free whereas the manga was not. Then the anime started getting extremely far-fetched toward the end and I stopped following it altogether, although I do have friends who update me now and again on how the story's moving along. I prefer to watch live action films and read books instead of manga/anime these days... The "Kaiji" movies were awesome and so was "K-20: Legend of the Mask". They had perfect protagonists, IMO; one was an ordinary loser who accidentally bet his life and learned courage and responsibility through each challenge, and the other was a circus acrobat who lost everything thanks to the upper class and was framed to be the antagonist, K-20.

That's okay. ^^" I don't usually like to rant, but thanks. Gary Joe = Mary Sue. There are other words for it, but, well... Last I checked, the dude was a Shinigami/Human/Hollow hybrid, and now he's part Quincy too, according to the manga? That's a little bit too much "special" in my opinion, haha. And he's never killed, he just get stronger even when he's defeated/clinically dead... Yes, there's a good moral in there about never giving up, but it's muddled by the fact that he's so freaking powerful.

LOL! XD That is funny! Although I am of the opinion that Ichigo was an absolute Gary Joe, I don't think I'd go so far as to throw a book at him, unless it was something with the power of awesome like Battle Royale or Musashi. I haven't gotten anything thrown at me in particular, but my family did wake up one morning to find a bunch of those small angel statues smashed in our yard, and my little brothers got beat up on the playground once by a bunch of Catholic kids... There's other stuff that's happened, it's just pointless to list them all, haha.

An omen? LOL There's a lot of Catholics and Christians in my neighborhood, so I hear you about the proselytism. Can't tell you how many times I and my family have been condemned to "Hell" for believing what we do. It just gets vaguely amusing after a while, though.

Groovy! So basically the hand was worth it? LOL I was raised into Judaism, so it's cultural heritage as well as a belief system.

OW. That's why you never put your hands underneath a sofa... It's better to hurt your feet than your hands. Yes, I am religious to a certain extent. I'm a Conservative Jew... It's complicated, haha. Simply put, I observe the basic guidelines while having the freedom to follow a similar philosophy, like Jediism, at the same time.
