Kekkaishi

[boborudnik]

You will find throughout the anime a penguin with a "Y" on its chest in various places (there was one on the hanky Yoshimori's dad was ironing when Yoshi was chasing Gramps after he ate his half-finished cake house in episode 5).

It is the avatar (for lack of a better word) Yellow Tanabe uses to represent herself in the manga to speak to the reader.  It isn't central to the story, more like a "Where's Waldo", fun trivia thing.

So there's a game we can play while watching this show? Talk about a show trying to be more interesting than it really is.

Take a shot every time you see a scene that makes you wish of another anime.  Two shots if you think of the better anime immediately.

You're going to get plastered in record time.

This show would be more interesting if it were a hentai and Yoshimori smothered Tokine in cake before he... well nevermind.

knowing yoshimori and tokine...thats a weird image there.......

[edichgolight]

many manga authors like to sneak themselves into the animes. its partly for credit

and partly for lulz.

[Saotome87]

A weird image maybe but the first 10 episodes of Kekkaishi are less entertaining than Bleach's bount arc, I have to think of things to keep myself entertained while watching it.

Thre's also that episode, I think episode 2, when Yoshi and Gramps were once agin fighting over the cake, and the little brother and the father were enjoying tea, the little brother was reading a Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine with Yellow Tanabe's avatar as the cover...

they did something similar in bleach. while ichigo was "training" to supress his hollow, Love was

reading a shonen jump magazine, and laughing at it.

there are some mangas that advertise the magazine they're being serialized in. Gintama is

notorious for that.

No, that'd just be you and about 5 other people.

[somedude248]

No, it's everyone. Just watch 5 minutes of this week's. Like when cake ghost shows and you realize Detroit Metal City would be a million times funnier (two shots) or the characters are boring and Qwaser would be cooler (two more shots) or the idiotic costumes make you wonder when Final Act is airing (two shots) and the fight scenes make you wish Kenichi or Soul Eater or One Piece (for sketchor) were airing. (Six shots!) Caution- attempting to play this game throughout an entire episode may cause either unmitigated boredom at the show, or alcohol poisoning.

[Poke_Nirvash]

Well, I don't give a crap about all that. I can believe you when you say that it ISN'T five people, but I know it's a lie when you say that it is EVERYONE.

Lol everytime yoshi speaks I wish I were watching brotherhood instead .  Everytime tokine speaks I wish for an anime with less stereotypical characters in them.

I mean wow, was this weeks episode filler or something? I facepalmed myself several times throughout this one. I mean naruto is more...no, naruto filler is more entertaining than this last episode.

And if it is filler...why is there a filler episode 5 episodes in what the hell?

EDIT. @poke somedude was likely countering your gross exageration with his own.

[somedude248]

Come on Poke. Go on to the AS Video section and play the drinking game. Just keep a trash can handy.

[Poke_Nirvash]

Please, do you find me THAT easy to coerce into your little game? Besides, I'm underage, so tough luck.

[somedude248]

Fair enough, even if don't take a drink whenever the Miroko cosplayer talks. (The rest of you that are legal- take a shot)

[bleachjoj]

How did this topic turn in to another argument

[fool_on_the_hill]

Just look at the user above you.

Whoa, hold on there partner! Let's not say things we can't take back. I mean this show is lame so far, but nothing is as bad as the Bount Arc.

[somedude248]

What about Hueco Mundo? Oh and Satome, take two shots.

I dunno man, this last episode made me long  for the bleach cake episode, I mean naruto filler is more entertaining than this last episode.

[edichgolight]

man...talk about taking a show WAY too seriously. ITS A CAKE! all they're

trying to show is some redeeming quality of yoshimori in spite of the fact that he's an

idiot. and its not supposed to be taken seriously!

[somedude248]

No, it's stupid, it's pointless, and it's annoying, annoying, annoying. This crap gets no free passes. If you're going to insist on airing it, all of its flaws will be examined with a fine tooth comb and mocked mercilessly with all the sarcasm of a thousand Nostalgia Critics.

[bleachjoj]

Yes keep those comments coming. It provides a couple of chuckles
