"Why should the romance end after marriage?"?

My husband can't spell the word "romance". He never gives me flowers, or compliment my cooking. I know he enjoys my cooking, by looking at his plate (gready). No hugs, Kisses? what's that. Bedroom activities are 50% out of 100%. I can take it, or leave it. At this point, I don't care. We have been married for five years. I don't suspect him of cheating, because he is always home. He work comes home, play the video game for hours, get on the computer for hours, look at tv for hours. Then goes to bed. When its time to get intimate, he has the nerve to get mad when I am sleep at 2am in the morning. 2am is when his little activites end. Believe me it's not worth waiting for. I rather go with out. In a nut shell, I don't feel appreciated. I keep a clean house, I cook, wash his clothes, take our son to school, and I work as a R.N. in the Emergency dept. which is very stressful. Before we got married, he was so romantic. He acts like a old man. We are both 38years old. I do love him. Help!

"Why should the romance end after marriage?"?
It shouldn't. The fact is that as humans we are selfish and that causes our want to become more important than the relationship or the spouse. Stop killing yourself for him so he can see all of the things he takes for granted, then maybe you'll have a chance to help him turn off his xbox and grow up so he gives you the consideration you need. I've seen this type of behavior in many children too, might be how he was raised too...
Reply:If you want something to change, you have to make a change.


Why don't you do, wear, say or plan something out of the ordinary? Show him how you love him. Maybe do this bi- weekly, weekly or daily until he starts to get the hint. It might take a while for him to catch on, but he will notice eventually.





Don't hang him out to dry. He sounds pretty typical and so does the situation.





Go and do something for yourself. Make yourself happy (Buy yourself flowers, take a bubble bath, excercise, shop for something nice, accomplish something you have been wanting to do for a while, etc.)and the happiness will show in your relationship.





Oh, and why don't you try waking him up early in the morning for some intimacy?
Reply:Like any relationship. . . eventually the novelty wears off. See if he'll go with you to counseling and maybe you both can salvage your marriage. Good Luck!
Reply:you married the wrong man





your mother was right





I have found confronting with the truth works





however i have been slapped in the face by many a woman in your case you do the slapping to his face
Reply:I have been told that you get what you give. In other words, you are going to have to take it upon yourself to set the romantic setting that you are looking for. He may not be very comfortable with this at first but try to explain to him that is something that you need and are desperately lacking in your marriage.


I certainly feel for you. It can be very frustrating to want something so badly and not receive it. I know you want your husband to just do it "naturally" but obviously he is going to need a little push...ok, a BIG push. Try dancing around in front of the TV or computer wearing next to nothing and see if that gets his attention. Do something shocking in front of him (you know what I mean) and see if he responds then.


Try to explain it to him and be patient. It may not happen overnight. If he still rejects you after several attempts then I would blunty tell him that the marriage will not continue to thrive unless he gives you more than you are getting now. Then I would suggest marriage counceling.


I wish you lots of luck!!!
Reply:People get lazy when they get what they want. He thinks that he has you and now he does not have to do these things. You have let it go on too long. I would have a talk with him about it. I would be asleep at 2am also and he would have to suffer. He needs to do more around the house also. You work too so it should not be all your responsibility. If you cannot get through to him stop washing his clothes and fixing his dinner. That may sound drastic to you but it will open his eyes. If you can't get out of him what you need then he cannot get anything out of you. You are being neglected and you need to make him realize this. You will not put up with this forever.
Reply:It dos not ends. just discus with hem what u fell and what u want in your live, and why you don't try be romantic some time.tell hem that we are yang have to enjoy are live because the time well not stop.so just spike what u feel. good lack
Reply:Awh, you seem like a great mother.





What I would suggest is talking to him despite the intimacy between you two?





I couldn't relate to the situation, but my best guess is to just talk it out.

O2 starts building in the atmosphere ~ 3.5 BYA because oxygen was a waste product of photosynthetic organisms like cyanobacteria





There were many mass extinctions:


--- "Cambrian Explosion" in the Cambrian period (540-250 MYA)


--- mass extinction at the end of the Ordivician period (495-439 MYA) where 75% of all animals went extinct


--- Devonian period (439-408 MYA) when 75% of all marine life went extinct


--- Permian period (290-250 MYA) when 96% of all species went extinct due to volcanic eruptions and a meteor strike


--- And the most popular extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period (144-65 MYA), caused by a meteor





PHEW!





I just had to memorize all this stuff a few weeks ago so I still have all the notes. I understand your pain.
Reply:earth formed then oxygen begins to build up in the atmosphere


P.S im totally guessing but it makes sense to me since no life can exist without oxygen

Champage taste on a beer budget wedding... any advice??

Alright so I have an extremely low budget for my June 2009 wedding. I found my dress for $179 at davids bridal online, and I am very crafty so I am doing mostly a diy thing. I want everything to look classy but I am having a hard time finding things with my budget. The good news is that I am having at most 50 guests... and my parents and future in laws are making all of the food, my dad is making the cakes, and my mom is doing my flowers. has anyone ever looked into hiring a string quartet of like seniors in high school? I read on many websites that that is a cheap way to go when you can't shell out the big bucks... the ceremony is going to be outside at a park and the reception is inside the community center room. I appreciate any advice you can give... Thanks

Champage taste on a beer budget wedding... any advice??
I've played violin since I was 8 years old. You do not want to hire a high school quartet. You will not be too happy. They just do not have the skills you would look for to play in a wedding.





For about $100-$150, you can hire a profession freelance soloist for your ceremony, and that is my recommendation for a beer budget. Don't get someone through an agency, it will double the price.





Also, you may be able to find a high school soloist or duet (there are some really talented high school students), but you would have to audition them. It is unlikely that you will find 4 high school students that are talented enough to play in a wedding. Another issue is that you will likely have to provide the music, since they will not have a wedding music library. Sheet music can be expensive and may not save you any money.





College student won't really be much cheaper than professionals.





Just as a side note, when I was in high school, I played in a duet at some dinner parties for a friend's parents. We each got about $40 for an hour. You are also paying for their practice time, so keep that in mind.
Reply:I have the same problem for my Sept 2009 wedding. Visit HGTV or one of those crafty deisgn websites to get ideas on cheap decorations. You can then buy the supplies at the dollar tree.
Reply:My sister had flutes, there were three, it was the band teacher and her best students. They were great. I would also suggest a single instrument/one person, like a flut or harp or violin. that would keep cost down.





I am doing most of my things DIY too, I am really creative and frankly its way more satisfying knowing you did it yourself!!





I found a great book at Borders, its called simple wedding, and a book called DIY wedding. They have great ideas! And it doesnt cost anything to sit in the book store and look through!! Martha Stewarts website has thousands of great ideas under "wedding" too and how to videos.


More power sister!!!!
Reply:You are off to a good start!There are many local bands that are very good. My daughter had her brother in law play with his band on a friends beach for the reception and ceremony, it was great. You can search on u tube for them in your area. To save more money and keep it personal, we also bought the flowers on line from Sams Club, and arranged them ourselves and placed them on the tables in glass (cheap) vases and put floating candles in vases in water around them on the tables and lit them at night it looked really awsome. Good luck.
Reply:some of the students at your local high school may be State ranked musicians. I have some in my classes at the high school I teach at. I was going to hire them completely without fear. One of them chose 4 pieces for me to choose from and put together a trio of top quality musicians in the school. I was going to pay them each $50. They were very happy with that.





Contact the locatl Band teacher. You may be surprised, and proud of your community teens.
Reply:The school-band thing is a great idea. The musicians will be very excited, and I'm sure they'll be wonderful! As long as you give them enough notice to pracitce the music together, etc, it shouldn't be a problem. Good thinking!
Reply:I went to a wedding once where a high school students played violins and such at the reception. It was very classy. You should check into it.





I think to have a classy wedding you just want everything to look sleek and nice. You don't want to go overboard with all the fu-fu stuff.





Good luck!
Reply:Personally I would find a college age player....but there are definately talented HS kids. You just have to make sure that you do an audition of the song YOU WANT played to check for any screeches.





You are on the right track honey. DIY, DIY, DIY.





Another suggestion if you are marrying in a church is to see if you can get in contact with other brides who are using it with a similar theme/look. If so split the cost of the decorations there.
Reply:It sounds like a great deal on the dress! Also all the help you are getting is wonderful!





If the ceremony is outside and will not last long, you could save a bit on chair rental by ordering only chairs for the family and elderly. Everyone else can stand if the ceremony will be short.





Also, don't try to over-decorate the ceremony site. Outdoor sites are beautiful as-is, so keep that in mind.





For your reception, a great way to save is to do mainly candle related centerpieces with just a few floral ones. The candles are gorgeous day or night!





Hope these ideas help!

1.5 gallon fish bowl can I keep a betta?

I was given a 1.5 gallon fish bowl through freecycle when I collected a bag of shells for my hermit crabs. I'm not 100% sure on the size but it's much larger then most bowls I see. I've always wanted a betta fish but I don't want them to live in really cramped conditions.





If I can get a small bubbler or filter to go with it would it be a safe home for a betta? Or is this too small?


If that is the case I might get some nice aquarium plants and keep it as an aquatic flower pot for my living room.


Betta keepers please share tips.

1.5 gallon fish bowl can I keep a betta?
Monkey is right - Heather is wrong.





If she was told bettas were used to only live in a gallon of water, the person who told her that is an idiot.





Pet store employees will tell you ANYTHING to sell fish. I've heard countless times people say "the pet store told me the PREFER to live in a bowl!"





Well for all you novices out there, the pet store employees are mostly idiots. The only ones you can trust are ones that own a local fish shop - they want repeat business, so they tend to give out better information.





I've had pet store chains tell me a bunch of stupid stuff: you can't put a betta with other fish (WRONG) a common pleco only gets about 4" (WRONG) apple/mystery snails breed asexually (WRONG - they need a male and a female.)





Your betta will be much happier in 5 gallon heated and filtered tank, as Monkey said.





Think of it this way: would you rather be confined to your bedroom, and no where else the rest of your days? Or would you like a whole house to wander around in? Sure, you could survive in the bedroom, probably not as long, and not as healthy, but you'd be HAPPIER in a whole house. Same with the betta. Just do what's right for him - 5 gallon tanks aren't that expensive. (If a 5 gallon tank is too expensive for you, you really shouldn't be keeping fish - fish keeping is an expensive hobby.)





Good luck!
Reply:I have a Betta with my other tropical fish in a 55 gallon planted tank.


If you could see her , how she loves to swim around , hide between the plants and interact with the other fish , you would not want to put your Betta in such a little "water puddle".


Sure they can survive in a 1,5 gallon tank , sure they survive bad water conditions but I doubt that they are happy .





Betta's are hardy fish , but not for their own good.
Reply:you can put fake plants in the 10 gallon if you cant afford the bubbler. it would be nice a 10 gallon with a filter and a heater. at least buy the heater and filter and the fish should do fine. you can later on add some fish with the betta. they get along with neon tetra. but first put the betta so it can get used to it enviornment.
Reply:yes they do very well in ten gallon tanks especially if they are heavilly planted no you will not need a bubbler or even the filter really" but it is still heavily reccomended" but you will need a heater
Reply:It's really too small. A betta does best in a 5 gallon heated filtered tank.





**
Reply:1.5 gallons is a bit small, especially if it is a bowl rather than a rectangular tank as bowls have less surface area for gas exchange. I would not keep a betta in something that small except as a temporary measure, you can probably keep a betta alive in a container like that but I doubt that it would thrive. If you do decide to get one anyway you will need at the very least a bubbler, filter and a small heater, and you will also need to do frequent, small water changes and really keep an eye on water quality.





Small tanks are difficult to maintain, both you and the fish would be happier with a larger tank.





Edit: Ten gallons should be fine, and they love having plants to rest on and swim around. Silk or real plants are fine but beware of plastic plants with sharp or pointy edges, they can rip fins.





If you just put plants in the bowl it should be fine without a bubbler as long as there are not too many plants.
Reply:In reality mokey and heather are both right. The betta fish would do best in a 5 gallon but let you know that if you allow the betta fish to be in a 5 gallon tank it will be understocked and your 10 gallon tank you aquarium would be really understock. the 1.5 gallon fish bowl is more than enough for the betta they dont die from stress or any other problem ppl may answer they stay relatively calm and in the 1.5 gallon they still have room to swim which makes them happy :D throw in a small air pump it doesnt hurt and helps the betta fish to stay even more calm. (look if betta fish werent meant to be living in smaller space then how do they stay in stores like petsmart for over 2 months of a time in a small cup??? and still be in excelent shape)
Reply:A lot of people think that it is cruel to keep Beta fish in small aquariums, but that is actually what they are used to, in the wild they live in much more confined living spaces. I was told they that will live in a rice marsh under the plants, much like you see them in the decorative planters you are speaking of.

Girl in Hiding





moving statue


an almost beautifully choreographed dance


stumbling around and around


she wobbles in her five inch stilettos





her knees collide with hard granite


and laying in pain, undeserving





pretty dress artfully arranged


on the cold marble floor





she preens into a tiny mirror


still beautiful





girls find your place








father looms, his nearness causes subtle hairs


to stand


save face


kiss his lips and dance\beautiful girls








blanket your pain with sweet smelling flowers


empty eyes, window for an empty head





mirrors show these child like reflections


childhood obsessions


grown out of filth, smothered with rot


she blooms into a beautiful shell


with nothing inside her

Any comments on kindof dark poem? its a rough draft..suggestions would be great and much appriecated?
This is a good poem-in my opinion. I don't want to recommend u change too much about it-as it's your art, not my own. However, I think that the message might be better received with more creative word choices.


"Wobbles" and "rot" are words that I personally would deter from using simply because they don't seem to add to the flow of the rest of the poem, to me. wobbles is a little bit on the edge of slang, to me-and rot ...hard to pin it-but I would have used "decay"





These are my own personal critiques-but I do really like this poem, and don't change anything you like, it's your art : )

FANCIES





SURELY the flowers of a hundred springs


Are simply the souls of beautiful things!





The poppies aflame with gold and red


Were the kisses of lovers in days that are fled.





The purple pansies with dew-drops pearled


Were the rainbow dreams of a youngling world.





The lily, white as a star apart,


Was the first pure prayer of a virgin heart.





The daisies that dance and twinkle so


Were the laughter of children in long ago.





The sweetness of all true friendship yet


Lives in the breath of the mignonette.





To the white narcissus there must belong


The very delight of a maiden's song.





And the rose, all flowers of the earth above,


Was a perfect, rapturous thought of love.





Oh! surely the blossoms of all the springs


Must be the souls of beautiful things.

Armour 'failed' dead NI soldier?

He said while the equipment L/Cpl Flowers was given offered only limited protection, it was the best available.





L/Cpl Flowers and his colleagues had been working on a Warrior vehicle at Basra Palace compound at the time of his death.





He was killed when a shell landed a few metres from him as he went to fetch a generator.





He was found face-down wearing a half-undone standard combat body armour vest.





Will there ever be a light enough armour to protect a soldier from everything thrown at him? what do you think ?





http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/north...

Armour 'failed' dead NI soldier?
Paddy, in my opinion its a trade off, a complete system that protects from bullets and shrapnel but leaves one restricted in mobility, which in itself is a danger.





A lot of the gear being worn is designed to take the sting out of small pieces of shrapnel or debris being propelled by the initial explosion, its wrong to believe this type of vest is bullet proof as its not.





"He was found face-down wearing a half-undone standard combat body armour vest."





By not having the vest properly fastened, this might have some contribution to his wounds and death??





But it also depends on what's being fired at you, the soldier lost his life to shell fire, again it depends on what calibre a round impacts, for example a direct or near miss by 105mm 155mm or bigger, there is nothing out there that can fully protect. The same goes for RPG and Mortar fire.





The size of I.E.D. being encountered daily in Iraq show that a flack Jacket is useless if you are in the immediate blast path.





Back in the 1980s I opened up an Irish Army issue, Vietnam era flack-jacket to find its was composed of tightly wrapped flat plastic packets, there was no ceramic plates or kevlar in those days.





And never forget that most military contracts go to the lowest bidder hence a low quality product, in the mid 1990s the Irish military had a new type of vest made by the same firm that made items for the R.U.C. same style but vastly different in quality all because it was based upon the cost per item that was being paid per item by the different countries.
Reply:No I don't believe there will ever be an armor kit to protect a soldier from everything.





There has been an arms race between protective armor and weapons that can defeat it since man first started fighting.





Clubs were met with thicker and hardened animal skins;





Those skins were defeated by spears with sharpened wood points





Wicker and soon defeated the wooden point spear





And so it has been going on for centuries





Flintlocks spelled the doom of the armored knights





The bullet proof vest has lead to armor piercing bullets





Steel helmets are replaced by kevlar to minimize fragmenting munitions





Mine resistant boots are defeated by more powerful modern explosives





Even for the individual war has always been about gaining enough of an advantage to win.
Reply:At some point there will be a body armor system that will protect a soldier a lot better than the current but there will never be an armor system that will protect a soldier from everything. If they can figure out a way to make a near impenetrable vest %26amp; helmet, that will save many lives but they also need to get working on a body armor system that protects the limbs %26amp; that is light enough %26amp; not bulky. I say in the next 10 years we will have a body armor system that will protect much more of the body than just a vest %26amp; helmet. But than again their will most likely be weapons to negate the armor cause that's the process of warfare technology. Someone creates better protection, than some creates a better weapon.
Reply:There will naturally be advancements in armour technology but never at the pace that weapons and other tricks to injure and kill other people are thought up.
Reply:Unfortunately, our equipment is made by the lowest bidder.





Hopefully, eventually, we will have equipment that is equal to the task.

Are plants poisonous for dog or cats?

Yes most certainly some are. A magazine called Dog Training Weekly DTW has an article from the PDSA


regarding this subject "With spring on its way many of our favourite flowers will soon be in bloom". It is quite a lengthy article but here are some plants


DAFFODILS -all parts of daffodil harmful,bulb-chewing small bit can be fatal,the fllowers even the water from a vase daffs been in can cause vomitting / diarrhoea.


LILIES toxic to pets particularly cats sometimes fatal even eating a small amount of pollen causes vomitting diarrhoea drowsiness. LABURNUM tree long pendulous flowers which produce pods then shed seeds . If dog eat seeds can cause agitation, breathing difficulties, cramps fits even fatal. CHERRY LAUREL hedging plant used in public places and parks - poisonous if chewing leaves. CASTOR OIL PLANT - same effects as above. PHILODENDRON - indoor plant - extremely toxic .COCOA SHELL MULCHES contains Theobromine toxic substance found in chocolate

Are plants poisonous for dog or cats?
You'll find that a lot of things are harmful dogs should they eat them.





Here's another good article on the subject.

Reply:Your right to be concerned, however the pets i keep have never chewed any plants indoors or out apart from grass perhaps. If your pets are different then perhaps grow your plants in pots out of reach or put a border around your beds, otherwise you'll have to tether your dog and the cat will have to take its chances though id be more worried about traffic than plants
Reply:YOU RE RIGHT BOUT THESE PLANTS--ALSO TOMATO LEAVES ARE POISON TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS-- ANIMALS HAVE A SIXTH SENSE THAT TELLS THEM WHAT THEY CAN EAT AND CANT EAT AS FAR AS PLANTS ARE CONCERNED--
Reply:no need to worry about pets they wont eat them as they are brilliant than humans
Reply:thanks for the info.glad my kitty is an indoor cat but like the man said cats know what too stay away from amd what too play around in.alot of house plants also cats should avoid.

Reply:a Hawaiian wedding sounds so awesome.. don't forget the torches .. stuffed or plastic birds and parrots : ) i know there is a place where you can buy fake but nice palm trees too.. check around, because i don't remember the store name...
Reply:SOUNDS LAME.
Reply:I think that would be great for, say, a barbecue, but if you live in some place like Cleveland, well, then maybe not.

Is there anything I can do about my allergies?
you can get shots for it and you have to be tested before the shots.. i had it and the shots made my teeth itch haha. i'm not as bad but with cats (ewww) and most dogs i'm like that..you'll find that you not that sick around dogs with hair like poodles.
Reply:Your liver is what flushes out toxins from your body. If you have a bad or a diseased liver, you could become allergic to a lot of things. So go and get your liver checked out by an expert.


Do you ever wonder.......???

........If you see a turtle on the side of the road with no shell, is the turtle naked or homeless??





........since you receive an item from UPS and/or FedEx the item you receive is packed in foam, well....when you send foam to someone or receive it what do they pack it in..??





........and do flowers smell us??

Do you ever wonder.......???
1. probably dead


2.electronics


3.sure....why do you think that they die?
Reply:It wasn't that I have no sense of humor, it is that these questions are elementary school level riddles which are a waste of time. Report It

Reply:if buttered bread always lands face down and cats always land on their feet, what if a u drop a cat with butter bread on it's back?
Reply:I have never, ever wondered these things, but since you asked:





A turtle's home has nothing to do with their shell. They actually create homes for themselves under rocks near water. And the shell is not their clothing, but part of their bodies, so your question is not answerable because the options are not correct.





Not all items you receive by Fed-Ex are packed in foam, because they are items that are not breakable. Because foam is not breakable, if you were shipping foam somewhere, you would not need any shock absorbing material inside the box. To answer the questions, "... what do they pack it in?" however, the answer is a box.





Flowers do not have "senses" such as smell or sight that humans and animals do, therefore they cannot smell us. This is physically impossible.





Hope this answers your questions.
Reply:homeless
Reply:They're both homeless and naked.





Foam doesn't need to be packed in anything except stuffed in a box.





They don't have receptors like we do, so no, they don't.
Reply:good questions...
Reply:Well if the turtle has no shell there's a good chance it might be dead.
Reply:Turtle is more homeless than naked because animals don't wear clothes.





Foam doesn't have to be packed with anything. Its not fragile so it can be put in a box and sent away without wrapping anything around it.





Flowers don't have noses, or the sense of smell, so they don't smell us
Reply:i never actually thought about that.. until u asked this question..
Reply:At least give credit to George Carlin.
Reply:heehhehhhehhehhehhehahahhahhahhahahha=)
Reply:good question.....but i can answer it...lol whats your opinion?
Reply:George?????
Reply:wow, who knew there were so many people with such a complete lack of humor.
Reply:mmm


Homeless and Naked.....BOTH





In a box or large envelope





No! Flowers have no nose..

Why do gurls say they want sweet guys when they fall for the ganksters???

every gurl says i want a man who is sweet and romantic and a gentleman but they always fall for ganksters who cant do **** who dont know anything about romance!!!


i personally hate gangs and all that Cr*p but i m sweet too i never hurt a fly!! im romantic i sended flowers to some gurl in my class and wrote on it to the gurl who is worth the Moon


and i think thats sweet isnt it??? that gurl liked me we went out for a long time like a year lol but then she dumped me for some gankster who treats her like cr*p and she doesnt have a choice now she cant dump him or shell get beat up real bad and raped but why did she dump me! i mean im not bad looking eather!!!!

Why do gurls say they want sweet guys when they fall for the ganksters???
Because they are stupid!! You are muscular? COME TO MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:aw then that girl is just a bxtch.. seriously if a guy was that sweet to me, i woulnt dump him
Reply:gangsters are hot
Reply:Most girls around this age tend to go for the bad boys because it makes them look better. It sounds wierd, but a lot of girls like to be treated badly, otherwise they would start treating the boys badly and they don't want to do that. She probably dumped you because she felt vulnerable and exposed. Usually ending a good relationship with a good guy is because they are scared. They are afraid that if they really develop feelings for someone, it can get messy, and they don't know how to handle that. Most girls that go with bad boys are insecure and need some attention and someone to hold on to.
Reply:Because all women are pathological liars.





Some of them are dishonest even to themselves, and seem to almost believe that they want a decent guy. Until one sees their choice in men it is almost believable.





Others just lie due to societal pressure upon women to not be as promiscuous as they naturally are.





Either way, when things do go bad the women gets to play "victim", which in their minds is a good thing.
Reply:its GANGSTER and who knows. i wouoldnt because i like the guy next door. did you ever think that maybe its the way they dress that us girls go crazy for?? i really dont know why we do that!! i never have!!

Reply:Tsubasa!!! (chronicles)
Reply:there is too many to choose from. my faves are peacemaker, samurai x, fruits basket, love hina, samurai 7 and the list goes on....
Reply:My favorites are Bleach, Naruto, and Full Metal Alchemist. They are all really good so it's hard to choose which one is the best.
Reply:Best movie - tie Grave of the fireflys %26amp; Castle in the Sky Laputa





Best TV serious - Macross, Kimagure Orange Road %26amp; Maison Ikkoku





Best OVA - Giant Robo, Battle Angel Alita %26amp; Gantz (agree with the earlier poster – Gantz is great)
Reply:I won't suggest Bleach as its ongoing so who knows how it may be viewed once its finished. The same applies for Naruto therefore but I think its way overated (the amount of times I'd wait all week to download and then the episode would only have 8 mins of original content - the rest flashbacks)





IMO the best finished projects:





Death Note (discounting special due out soon)


Samurai X -truth %26amp; betrayal


Excel Saga


Akira


Ghost in the Shell


Samurai Champloo


Cowboy Beebop





If pushed then I'd say the only anime which has entertained me as much as Bleach is Excel Saga - here lies my vote

Reply:GantZ, it's got the twist on reality while still keeping the characters very real to how they would react when affronted with such an odd situation
Reply:There are basically 3 anime most otaku consider to be the peak of the art form, and have had the greatest influence on, and greatest popularity with, animators and fans:





Neon Genesis Evangelion (mid 90s)


Cowboy Bebop (late 90s)


Fullmetal Alchemist (mid 00s)
