I think it makes it easier for me to follow this series because I started watching it about the time it started airing. So I’m not that much behind and was taking it in slowly. It’s like how I’m having quite an easy time with the new Hunter X Hunter (also because I’m not reading the manga).

I agree with what you said and I love the show too. As long as we have fun watching, that all that matters, really. Thanks. =)

Although I must say, I find the rubber-wearing three stooges who call themselves Jiggle Butt Gang the most irritating. Do they appear in manga too?

No. They didn’t. That whole arc is a mess in my opinion.

Can I continue from where the anime left off? If yes, from which chapter? Or should I just wait for the anime to be continued, whenever that may be…

Yes, you can continue. The anime pretty much followed the manga, so start with chapter 300. But as I can see, you may be better off waiting for the anime to continue.

Okay, for me this is the only shounen show that I followed from episode 1 to its ending. Well, maybe because compared to Bleach, Naruto and One Piece, it has fewer episodes. It also has fewer filler episodes, with only one filler arc. The author promised a much lighter mood in this show, so it’s no wonder we find it so funny even at those supposedly serious moments.

Regarding the characters, they’re powers are interesting enough but like you said it feels like they’re not growing anymore and if they did, it’s feels kinda rushed like one moment they’re like this and then poof, POWERUP! I’m also getting tired with Natsu’s nakama power, it always saves the day. But wait! Don’t get me wrong, I love this show. I really do. Anyway, nice post

Yeaps, besides, most of the time a character will have at least one version of scale figure from multiple manufacturers, so it’ll be very hard to choose which to buy. Especially when there are different unique designs. What attracts me to buying a figure is its level of details and the dynamic of a figure. So if both present, I bet even I will have hard time to resist.

Thats the danger of being too attached to a character, I have nothing against a little shocking anime, but not when something is happening to the characters I like the most ^^.

I try to limit myself to one too, especially so if it’s scale figure. But I ended up getting multiple versions of some figures too anyway, Black Rock Shooter for example, I got both the nendoroid and figma version, would love the scale figure too but it’s extinct in the net now, and there’s also a problem with space, lol.

A recent anime I watched, Hellsing Ultimate, is a true masterful anime of psychopath and bloodiness, an awesome anime to watch, especially when I need some insanity xD Indeed, death, while controversy, is definitely an important element.

Speaking of buying tons of merchandize of a character, I have a habit of only buying one figure per character. It looks too crowded if I have multiply figures of a character. I don’t have problem with others buying multiple though, lol.

“Unless we are talking about psycho anime where dozens of characters die for no good reason” <- I don't know why, but Another popped up in my head. Not that they die for no reason. It's the curse!!! I agree with you on character's death's meaningful role in a series. Deaths like Ace's and Gurren Lagann's Kamina play vital roles in building other characters.
