[lolwutwhatever]

OMGOMGOMGOMG♥
Bleach is sooooooo full of eyecandies *drool*
Grimmjow
Ichigo
Byakuya
Kensei
Shuuhei
even Kenpachi (with his clothes in shards >w<), Aizen, Ulquiorra
Stark
Gin
Kira too

Even though the plot isn't the best character design is awesome. And I figured out that's what I value the most in manga and anime. Damn, Bleach is my dream kingdom.

The whole demographic sorting sometimes is really wonky. I mean, Pandora Hearts is also shonen (the only reason for this that I can see is 15-year-old protagonist of sort (one scary kid)) and - ta-dam! - Kuroshitsuji is also shonen (which is a major WTF). Sometimes I think everything that isn't directed to 30+ year olds is dumped into shonen/shojo, whichever feels better. xD

Slice of life kills me. xD

It takes a lot for me to like character-driven something, mainly because the characters need to be original, but realistic. Rather hard to do... (Wild Adapter is a wonderful example.)
A series can be good in any department, it's just a matter of identifying what the main focus is. Bleach is action-driven, from what I have seen; Pandora Hearts is a mystery and Kuroshit is fanservice. 8DD; To each their own. In fact, I do like to watch fights just to relax and switch off the brain, but they at least need to be consistent. xD If Dude A beats Dude B, then he can't be defeated in a few hours by Dude C with whom Dude B mopped the floor before he was did in by A.
I would have said something spoiler-ish about the recent chapters (380+), but I don't know whether you've read them yet.

[lolwutwhatever]

Yeah, maybe maybe, but some shounen are more shounen than other shounen :P The fact that Kuroshit is shounen is hadr to accept O.o But, since I don't know it, I shouldn't comment it.
And what is 30+ ? Seinen/joisei is for people our age and older, obviously, too.
And not everything is specifies to be shoujo/shounen. Most is, that's true, but usually it makes some sense, at least shoujo.

I love slice of life :3

I'm up-to-date with Bleach manga. But I don't know if there is chap. 387 yet or not, probably there is, if there is then I haven't read it. But I managed to catch up with the manga until 386 in Dec 2009.

I know that not everything can be classified, it just amazes me that many classifications look forced.

Okay. So, what I wanted to say was: why the hell the chick who got cut in half is still alive even though it happened ~6 chapters ago?! And the time lapsed is about 10 minutes. Wtf Bleach.

[lolwutwhatever]

If you can call it forced then that's right, that's the case. It's stupid.

Dunno, it's Bleach. I wasn't that much fond of latest chapters, at least not at THAT moment. Such things irritate me as well. Lately even I myself been wondering why I actually like it, but I do. Despite all the inconsistencies. I just enjoy mostly watching, a bit less reading. It just depends, I guess, the measure of my enjoyment can't be defined, it's just very very very random.

[dhuaine]

I understand. You are infinitely more random than me, but even I do have crappy things that I like even though I know they're trash, it's been scientifically proven that they're trash, and generally you can see they're trash from miles away. XD I'm not as crazy as to list them in my faves, though. ;) (Drizzt novels.)

[lolwutwhatever]

There's no doubt about me being a lot more random than you are. It's hard to believe in what you're saying. I mean you call trash a lot of things that don't have to be trash at all :P

[dhuaine]

It's just that a thing must be rather high above average for me to consider it good. :) I often separate enjoyment factor from objective judgment whether something is good or not. I can like stuff of questionable quality (R.A. Salvatore, tons of A. Christie clone-like detective novels) and dislike other things (Tolkien for starters...), but still agree that they are well executed. xD
