Shelf Life - Bloody Sunday

I still think it is terrible to keep praising Naruto when the whole series is just delaying the inevitable end like Bleach.

You "still" think so? Did you mention it when I reviewed part two? Or do you mean it's not OK to continue to praise good parts of Naruto, even though it was good at one time? I'm kind of a Simpsons super-fan, but only for seasons 3-6. I love Naruto, but only episodes 30-100. Subsequent episodes of either series lower the average rating of the show. Back in 2000 I found that pretty upsetting, because I loved the Simpsons so much. 12 years later, I'm kind of numb to it.

Newer shows like the Big Bang Theory makes the Simpsons less entertaining.

Obviously wrong.

Maybe Mashima should stop trying to do adventure and just do a gag manga (translated by the same person who adapted the script for this dub).

Another winds up on my short list of anime that needs a fan edit to be more watchable by Americans (along with Steamboy and One Piece).

Ratings/Views state otherwise or do you dismiss factual information as irrelevant to proving one's opinion? The Simpsons has been declining in views, while the Big Bang Theory is getting high ratings and views. Just look around the internet and I'm sure you'll draw the same conclusion.

Fairy Tail has its moments, but I find some characters really irritating to the point of outright hating. Lucy is one I'd love to smack with a pimpstick and somebody needs to kick Elfman in the nuts. Personally, I think there are just way too many characters and the wild mood-swings in the series makes it hard to care about any character in particular. I think Mashima likes to troll the fandom, as others have said in past reviews. I'd say I like Fairy Tail, but I love Naruto better. I'm not sure I understand what Erin's problem is with the rest of Naruto, but hey she was singing the praises of that awful crap Yamada's First Time, which seems even worse than the worst Naruto filler episode.

Awesome, yet another poster with crap taste! Well, what to you expect from a Bible Belter who can't handle anything that isn't sanitized so that no hint of that nasty ole sexuality rears it's ugly head, right? In the unlikely event your tastes ever advance beyond the scope of 9-year-old boy's come back and talk with us adults. In the meantime, enjoy that Naruto filler.

Okay, so I was mistaken in assuming you had a problem with anything remotely racy. I can respect not digging softcore in preference of hardcore, I'm pretty much the same. I would say Yamada was making no attempt to titillate its viewers. The humour in Yamada didn't work for you? It did for me, including the running gag of Yamada freaking out every time they got close to the deed, but humour is notoriously subjective, so I can't really fault you for not finding a show funny that I did.
