Baka-Raptor is my destined rival in anime blogging. We stand on opposite sides of a battlefield – a lolicon against an upstanding citizen; a man who demands ‘plot’ against a style hound; a self-depreciator against a self-aggrandizer (hint: I’m the latter). And yet, we are great friends, always offering inspiration and competition to one another.

Bleach was brought to the US a little bit too late for me. I was just starting to fall out of interest in anime and start getting into video games when they started publishing Bleach, but I did manage to get the first two volumes of the series. I never managed to watch Bleach when it started airing on Cartoon Network, and by the time I got back into anime, I just wasn’t interested in the shounen action genre anymore. Bleach gradually gained this association with Naruto and the fanboys of both series that made me instinctively avoid it. Mind you I had a lot more experience with Naruto – I read it long enough to see it turn to shit, and I’d seen enough of the anime to hate it. But not Bleach – that dislike was purely fabrication. this comic is based on a true story. Back in 03 when Funeral and I got into anime, I used to be obsessed with magazine making (the precursor to blogging.) I made a 22-page thing called “Top 20 anime and manga” which had top 20 lists, reviews done by Funeral and I over the phone, none of which was more than a paragraph of us talking about how insanely violent all of our favorite shows were. Funeral is represented by Jon in this comic, who’s reviews were ALL given 10/10 ratings. And yes, back then, my favorite manga was Naruto, and Inuyasha was one of my favorite anime (though I actually think this magazine may have been made before it starting airing on Cartoon Network. |
