hopefully, after AoT season 2, IBO season 2, Tokyo Ghoul and DBZKai are done, they'll bring it back to continue the next arc. i wouldn't mind one piece coming off and on the lineup periodically (thugh id prefer they leave it on and remove Naruto)

it is spectaular, though. it has a grace and a gravitas that were pretty rare in its time. we didnt gt a lot of American cartoons with that kind of vibe. plus, Genndy Tartakovsky's action style is fairly unique. you could see it in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars miniseries. he isn't afraid of long, silent pauses and slow pans before explosions of action and a hint of shaky cam before shaky cam became overdone in american cinema (and we still don't often get it in American action cartoons) people could sense that there was something different in Samurai Jack's presentation and they gravitated towards it. These days,it's still prtty unique, but not quite as groundbreaking, but the addition of more adult themes and violence ups the ante on the series' charm. it's one of the few American shows of its time that approached what made kids excited about anime. it didn't talk down to them and presented the struggle against evil in a slightly different context than was usually given to us.

i love this episode. think toonami should play ARISE when SAC is done?

round rainbow IT'S THE SEVENTH SWELL!!

self destruct button? i thought you loved that ship

i never noticed that before (having only seen this episode once. but it's a giant lock....on a rope. just cut the rope. the lock is meaningless

i find it intereting that this GITS commercial starts with the words "Rough Night" since ROugh Night is the name of another new movie Scarlett Johanssen is in.

oh good, Nucky knew all the secrets all along. how convenient.

oh come on, Nami and Robin never become useless. they get more fanservicey, sure, but their significance doesn't drop out.

i think she's about to be torn apart or splattered, not flying

oh, it's for the girl. i'm sure if they started running, they could untie her before he can fire again

lol. that's so dumb. how's that suposed to hit them

ah.

Luffy and Zoro are ready to smash everything

what happened with moose?

i guess Foxy's going to be the bookends to One Piece's current run on Toonami.

seems to me aht Naruto's multi shadow clone jutsu would allo him to both deal with the enemy's delay tactics AND go rescue the girl...

i hate this don't hurt the brainwashed villagers" crap. you don't have to kill them to win just break some of their legs or punch them out.

yeah, Naruto's training is lacking as hell. I was hoping he'd come ack from the time skip having learned some ninja basics, even if he had to jerry rig them to compensate for his lack of natural talent. but no. he just learned to do the same things as befoe, but more powerfully

why did they play an opening? did somene in programming mes up? and why, if they were going to play an opening, did they start with this crappy one? this series has had some good openings, but they all got skipped. play Ao Sora, for god's sake! wait, FLOW sang this opening but i love FLOW. why was this song so crappy if it's one of theirs?

whoa. that's one hell of a backstory, Melody (pun not intended)

Kurapika..don't go telling people that shit. especially people who are hunting for thoe eyes

Gon's prtty interesting. definitely a "young Goku" type, though a bit smarter. but I prefer Killua and Kurapika. definitely the Hiei and Kurama of this series

"believed"?

uh oh. she's trouble. was she part of that thief group befre?
