i have this thing with anime shows where i absolutely love them and get totally addicted and can’t miss one episode. then suddenly it gets uninteresting and i just stop watching it. i think its because most anime shows focus too much on the action part and don’t explore different genres and you start to feel like your just watching the same thing over and over again. like in inuyasha, practically every episode consists of the group going to a villages, meeting a demon with jewel shards, killing it, and moving on. the plot line just becomes a pattern in each show. and you know sometimes i don’t like when the character develops and becomes all mature. then they’re all serious and not funny anymore and usually anime shows are only funny and action-packd with a sprinkle of romance so if you get rid of the comedy and romance, your down to one genre and then it gets boring. i like full metal alchemist becuase its dramatic, action-packd, funny (sort of), AND mysterious in some cases. ps. i stopped watching naruto a long time ago.

I lol’d, and ultimately agreed. I found the supporting cast fantastic. I realized just how much I loved them when Kishimoto pretty much completely cut them out of the series. I was left watching Naruto and Sasuke. I realized I actually hate both their characters. I stopped watching. :/

I would agree, if it wasn’t for the intentional past tense and the deliberate twist of the phrase.

If you were to be entirely accurate you would have to write, off the top of my head, “There were no ill intentions ….”, or something similar to that.

And thanks for pointing out the 6th point, I was terribly lax, as all I did was provide the link without doing any reading. I’m bad.

6.to a small extent; somewhat (often prec. by a): a mite selfish.

I believe this is the most relevant definition. *nods*

Speaking of grammar-nazism: “Nothing ill intended” seems a bit off. I can’t say if it is incorrect, but “No ill intent” might be a better alternative. Perhaps “No ill intentions.” It may be that ‘nothing’ indicates that no ill thing was intended. It makes ‘ill’ a description of ‘nothing’, not ‘intent’. That would cause the expression to lose its coherence, strictly speaking.

Nothing ill intended either, and if you know Martin, you know the ways of the grammar-nazis! *does the Grammar-Patrol Pose, with the gleam photoshopped in*
