I mean, sure, but also, seems unfair to put it up against anything else since it kinda hits a totally different genre. Invader Zim was great as well, but I wouldn't really make any comparisons between the two.

I'm still mad disappointed Gargoyles never came up for a Kingdom Hearts world. That shit would've been amazing.

I don't care what the haters say, RWBY had heart and its own sort of unpolished charm. It wasn't out of some big budget studio, it was just a thing they wanted to try to make. And it had a lot of potential.. at the start anyway. Can't deny it kinda lost itself along the way. Anyway, RIP Monty, we will forever be left to wonder what contributions you could've made to the animation industry. D= I'm also kinda forever bitter that Disney channel will replay Gravity Falls forever, but seems like they'd rather bury and forget Star vs The Forces of Evil. Nothing against GF, but, c'mon, it's not the only great cartoon you got.

Went a bit deep on this dive. This man is living quite a life..

Gee, cucks.

Heckling? Maybe misinterpreted. I'm saying the only logical reason for packie to keep coming back here is because he likes the abuse. Literally nobody wants him here, nobody likes him, every response is telling him to stfu, but he keeps coming back for more. And if he wants to be abused that badly, I say he oughtta be paying for the privilege.

Some people pay good money to get abused like this, and everyone's just giving it away for free.

With lyrics stuck in my head, such as: LET IT BURN, I SAY Rend it all to ash and dust For as fools we are as fuel It is our nature to combust

Maybe it turns out all you gotta do is not be an evil piece of shit and you'll be allowed out in the light of day..

Idk.. this feels like a "believe it when you see it" deal. I'm not even entirely convinced the "remaster" part is going to include significant, if any, trimming, or if it's just going to make it look prettier. On top of that, even if pacing is improved, it's kinda already stained by its reputation. You're not going to get anyone new to slog through several arcs on the promise of "it picks up later.... like, way later."

It's kinda even more surprising when you realize the name... we just jumped from Helene to Milton? Fuck that's a lot of named storms in a short span of time. Even if they're mostly just spinning up and doing nothing in the middle of nowhere, that's still a lot of activity.

Mighty Boosh put it best: "Elements of the past and the future, combinin', to make something not quite as good as either." There may have been potential in the idea at some point.. but the writing is so far removed from the source material that it may as well be bad fanfiction.

In my search for good background noise, rediscovered MXC - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. This shit was incredible back in the day, and dammit, the writing still holds up solid.

Finally cut out cable last month, sorta just chilling with free-to-view stuff until I finally pull the trigger on some subscriptions. Ghost in the Shell holds up surprisingly well. Kinda missed seeing this all the time pre-Toonami. Dunno what deal [as] got to basically have permanent streaming rights, but I'll take it. Incidentally, the original Laughing Man incident was supposed to happen earlier this year...

I had a dream that I shit my pants... surely this was a sign.

Incidentally, can confirm, subbed ep is freely available on [as] app (and presumably website). Guess it makes sense, [as] production, would have total streaming rights.

I just figured the black-and-white was mostly because this is trying to be treated as a faithful adaptation, as close as you can literally get to "manga but animated." But maybe also kinda yeah, I think too it'd lose some of the impact if it were to be colorized.

Been wondering, but.. something occurred to me.. what was even the point of that entire coliseum part of this story? Like... it's established as a trap for Luffy, and the bait needed to be the fruit... but why the fuck would they actually put up the actual fruit for grabs? It's just... there, easy pickings for their enemy. Why not use a fake? Why not lie and not put anything in the chest? Why not rig it in some way? It just makes absolutely no sense that it was ever a possibility someone would be able to take something that powerful and use it against the family.. I guess maaaybe if there's some long term plan of "hahaha, it was sabotaged all along and now you're going to die in 3 days" or something. But, currently, feels like a very weak plot point.

[as] still has a website??? Judging from the app on my Roku, usually anything actively airing is on a significant delay, if it's unlocked at all. Actually, checking just now, I've only just realized how much is freely available. Still, not sure I wanna wait that long to resume watching things, and I'm a bad pirate..

Oops. Cut the cable just in time to miss this starting up.. S'ok, I never get to watch anything on Saturday night anyway, Max ought to be just as good.... right?

I mean.. I get it. It's running with the old trope of "nothing shown in sequential order." Because Elle's whole thing is time happens all at once or whatever. It'll be one of those things that maaaaybe makes more sense by the end when it all ties together, and will still require remembering it all, and probably still take someone cutting it all into sequential order to really make sense.. whatever can be made here. I just don't think they needed R&M to tell that story, and lifting the characters to put them in it has drained them of most of their characterization, and forces a lot of really flat/awkward writing that simply doesn't fit.

I was just saying this needs to join in on Toonami Rewind. >_>
