Most of it is has horrible pacing, with way too much padding between action sequences.Fullmetal Alchemist is the ideal that others should take cues from. Character development, tension-ratcheting, and kicking butt in proper proportion.Wolf's Rain, Trigun, Witch-hunter Robin, Samurai 7, Trinity Blood, and Cowboy Bebop are all pretty execrable most of the time. They have lots of sequences that would be great if they had a Joss-Whedon type of sensibility to them, mixing wryness with sentiment. But instead, they're just slow and mopey, kinda jejune in their outlook.If I gotta choose, I'll take "pretty but empty" anime like Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star, and Hellsing over the aforementioned any day. I enjoyed watching Inuyasha off and on, as well as the one about the dead kid who becomes a spirit detective (Yuyu Hakachu or something like that).</blockquote>
