Sadly, Inuyasha. This was because a friend was showing off anime at our highschool's Game Club. The concepts of mythological feudal Japan was extremely cool and new to me, because almost all of our American mythology is based off of christian and Greek myths. I tried watching some of the show last year or so, and it was unbearable.
Ugh, my sympathies xD
Inuyasha really got on my nerves, as it was HEAVILY infected with what I call the NO SHIT Syndrome for anime.
When the show spends several seconds/minutes of animation time SHOWING us something...and then the characters witnessing it pull a Captain Obvious on us and
tell us exactly what we just saw happen. God it drives me nuts.
My favorite being an episode where the monk guy, I forget his name, encountered a female priestess, who turned into a giant Naga right in front of him. And we see the transformation too. I mean, it wasn't subtle, she was all "TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW!! I'M COMIN OUT!! I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW!! GOT TO LET IT SHOOOOW!" kind of attitude about the transformation, into a
20 foot long serpent woman. So what does the monk guy say in reaction?
*gasp* "The priestess!!....she turned into a giant serpent!!" @_@
.........NO SHIT!!!! xD
It's sadly a common problem in anime, but thankfully the ones that I actually like, don't seem to have much of it.
