Damn, what happened in India to drop 12 ranks?

Holy fucking hell, tell me Zenitsu isn't a permanent side character. The screaming isn't remotely entertaining. Especially when it's part of every minute of the fucking episode.

This. This is what you complain about. After watching a boy who can accelerate faster than light fight a boy who can manipulate spacetime. It's fantasy. Lighten up and let it rot your brain. It's magic fire from the pits of hell, it can do whatever it wants.

I've had this happen before with some games. I've experienced that, sometimes, restarting the game will somehow magically bring the save files back. As if on initial start up, it didn't have the energy to remember the saves, but after a warm up, memory came back. But, I think I can only really remember this happening with GBA games, so, maybe probably different tech.

Dammit, Deku, what's the fucking point of having a cowl on your costume if you never fucking wear it. This is the real deal, start acting like it.

Posted that one ages ago. But you've got the right idea. Here's a related classic from the old boards. Still not sure I know what's going on.

I feel like your definition of "weird" might be a bit tame by my standards.

My, how the boards have fallen. This should've been the first response.

Did anyone keep track of how many arcs were mentioned in the defense of the show here? Think I saw at least 3 or 4. That's the sort of thing I hate, and I'd believe could be something that holds the show back. "Oh, it gets really good at this arc!" "Ok, but this arc is definitely where the good stuff is at." Oh, wait, this arc, this is the real primo stuff." First of all, shouldn't have to wait for it to "get good." Second, it never does. It's always more of the same. Just like with Bleach. You keep trying to stomach more of it in anticipation of that magical mythical transformation into something more bearable, and it's just the same show. Because of course it is. Shows, shounen, don't just completely change what they are like that. Also, lol at the comparison of OP slow with DBZ slow. I mean, probably I'm biased by more recent exposure to Kai, maybe I've just filtered all the filler out of my memory. Even still, I'd stand by my personal assessment that OP pacing is still more of a slog. I'd agree with previous suggestion. Give it the Kai treatment. Trim it down by half (at least). Then maybe you've got something worth watching. It has a premise I wouldn't mind getting to see more of. But the execution/presentation make it kinda bottom-of-the-barrel.

The benefit of going into shows blind. I'd probably agree on that point. It's definitely not something that needs to go on forever. I mean, it is also clearly designed to go on forever. But it shouldn't. But, this is why I prefer not knowing too much about the shows coming here, and just judging on what's presented.

This is enough for me to favor this show over SAO. Yeah, everything else about the show is kinda bad. But at least I don't actively hate the main character. or most of the side characters. Some. A few. Point is, I've kinda enjoyed how each of their little quirks has shown through. I think what really sealed the deal for me was Zenji. Even the pathetic loser was able to demonstrate that he does actually have some skills. Maybe probably still doesn't belong at the school. But it was pleasant to see he's still talented in his own way. It wasn't the worst thing Toonami has aired. It was far from great. But it was watchable, if forgettable.

Point still stands. Turd plop.

Y'know, I only just learned about this show as this second season started. Admittedly haven't paid a whole lot of attention to CN for a bit. But it seemed pretty decent (by CN standards), from what I saw. Bit of a shame it'll probably never get much attention.

Man. Ought to just take a moment now as, I'm assuming, Food Wars is bowing out, to say I've appreciated just how great the block has been lately. For all its faults, it really wasn't a terrible show. A little disappointed to have this turd plopped in the middle of the block now. Not surprised.

Y'know, Tsukasa really is an awful antagonist for this show. Seriously. "I hated how selfish and cutthroat the world used to be. So I'm going to build a better world. And to start, I'm going to revive only the most selfish and cutthroat people I can find." It's honestly kinda embarrassing. Literally everyone he revives would've grown into exactly the kind of adults he hated. Probably still will. Dude's totally getting stabbed in the back sooner or later.

Honestly a bit offensive. Miroku was never this insufferable.

Is anyone else kinda distracted by how bold the artists have drawn Zenitsu's outline?

Y'know, sure there's a lot of dumb and silly and maybe a bit awful about this show. But, the character writing, beneath all the tropes and shit, actually isn't that bad. If you can look past the surface, it really has some good stuff going.

DKC 2 honestly had some of the most well made music for the time. Every track is just spot on. Trippy game with a trippy soundtrack. And, as I understand it, this game had some of the best sound production of the time, with the composer using a custom engine.

So I guess Italy is on the cutting edge of weird lately?

Fuck me, how did this group slip under my radar before. Viking gospel metal inspired by IKEA. That's multiple layers of subversion. Incredible.

This one's for you, @katt_goddess

Season 2 or whatever was that. The original crew was in high school or something, except T.K. and Kari, who were younger to begin with. They stayed on with three new kids, that had the digi-egg armor evolution stuff. They're the kids at 1:06 in that trailer. More recently, there was Digimon Adventure Tri, which again had the old crew, aged up a little more again. Think Joe was doing college prep maybe. I never have gotten to see more than the first bits of that one myself.

I might be biased on this one, but I kinda feel like this is one of [as]'s sleeper hits. I probably shouldn't relate to this as well as I do. But damn if that lack of personality doesn't resonate. Caught my attention tonight when he started talking about Dragonball Z. What a goon. This show is just so satisfyingly dry and boring.

It really bugs me that Izuku was more concerned about All Might's history, rather than asking about the situation with the girl. As a hero, the symbol of peace, something about just letting her go doesn't seem like it should sit right. Sure, it was the right thing to do in the situation, given context, Deku's really not where he needs to be to take that on. But it seems kinda dumb that his whole anxiety thing wasn't about whether or not he did the right thing. Was really hoping this episode would open with continuing their discussion.
