I had to do this last summer, I'm a live-in caretaker for grandparents, neither of which would really have been able to be brought in to sit in a courtroom for however long waiting. Fortunately I got excused over the phone, but the clerk was like, "We'll try again next year then."

Like... thanks, lady, for hoping my grandparents are dead the next go-round!

I swear to god I'm the only Pennsylvanian who can't deal with this shit. My family has made kraut since I was born (and earlier, naturally) and it's always just made me retch. The stench of it alone makes me want to not even be in the house, and the way you can leave the house then walk inside and get hit by the wall of odor hitting you full in the face instantly is just awful.

I refuse to even try it from the smell alone, I don't know how anyone can actually find the stink appealing as is...

No. I mean, you could, but I would not recommend it. It's not a reboot or new series but the final storyline of the original manga. Going into it blind with no attachment to any of the characters and history would lose a shitton of weight. You can cut out a lot of the original series though, it has a high amount of filler and the actual episode count isn't nearly so daunting (for a battle shonen, anyway).
