If you hadn't already told, several times, I'd probably care.
So I watched the first four episodes of Buso Renkin last night. I figured I might as well give it a try, I have nothing better to do with my time.
Unfortunately, this title has gone to opposite way to Inuyasha. Instead of recapping every episode thus far, they decided to re-explain points that had just been explained, several times, at great length, whether you want them to or not.
I'm fairly sure from the first to forth episode, they only changed every second sentence. You can make a drinking game out of this anime, every time they say "that's the power of (his/my) Buso Renkin", take a shot. Unfortunately, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning by the third episode.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for filler, but I'd much rather listen to corny anime-themed Japanese music with a bunch of dancing girls every time they need something to bridge gaps. Sure, it has nothing to do with anything that's just happened, but it wouldn't bore me to tears, and is easier to skip without suddenly missing key plot points.
Seriously, I'd prefer this for filler.
(Sexual References... I think)
Yes, I'm also aware the song is Swedish.
Other than that small complaint, it doesn't bother me. The male protagonists inherit stupidity tends to annoy me less than your average comic relief character. Unfortunately, the comic relief character appears to be one of his friends, but I can't be certain only four episodes in. But on the plus side, the females keep referring to him as a pervert, and he's already tried to give the protagonist a porn magazine. This is a bonus.
At the moment, the series can go either way. Once I've either watched it all, or at the very least, as much as I can tolerate, I'll give a better review about it.

What does this sentence have to do with the conversation at all?

That was shown on Ani-Monday, right? Good series, kinda sad.

She's 16, almost 17 so she has probably got laid then. I always used to think she was over-rated until like last night. she's bangin' ;)

I've never been a fan of anime, however I've attempted to watch a few. I tried watching InuYasha several times, but I find the characters highly aggravating. I can't stand watching anime that has annoying characters in it.

I could have sworn there was a date line NBC episode with her on it.

Isn't she like, fifteen or something?

I can count two times that scenario played out, once in a movie and once in the series. That leaves you 98 more times to explain. <.<

Inuyasha is the same bullshit.
"Yay, I've killed Naraku!" a few filler episodes and wam, "NARAKU IS BAK WDF I TOUT I KILLED HIS ASS"
What that happened like... 100 times?

Oh believe me, I've already discovered that aspect. I am eight episodes into it, after all.

Annoyingly enough, whenever I happen to listen to this song, those lyrics are going to stick.

The dialogue changed slightly in the second disc:
You're a bad guy! I'll splatter your guts! Your guts will be so splattered! I'm talking some serious splattering of guts going on here. In case I still have not yet made myself clear, my intention is to in fact the complete and utter splattering of your guts! Seriously, I will splatter your guts!

Tiberath, the anime you're watching now is pretty good. I finished it awhile back, and I enjoyed the ending.

Mmmm, Inuyasha. That brings me back. Despite the story refusing to ever approach a conclusion, the episodes can be fun to watch. Then again, it might be a more frustrating experience if you have the DVDs and watch the episodes consecutively as opposed to the catching the odd episode once a week.
Anywho, thanks for the video. Best three minutes of my week so far (blasted midterms!)

Not yet, and I'll probably skip the television broadcast and just wait for my brother to buy the DVDs.

On the bright side, Inuyasha: The Final Act is being aired. I don't know if it's available legally in your neck of the world though.
