Damn, dude, how many sites are you getting banned on to know that "just about every site out there" has a log out button on their ban screens?

Y'know, it's awfully convenient how all these dead people just happen to be ending up fighting someone(s) they knew in life. I mean, I guess I get how Kabuto is trying for the psychological warfare approach. But, seems like, with the reputation they all have, it would've been smarter sending them up against opponents that couldn't get inside their heads.

I didn't share the video. Just said it's worth looking into. My personal favorite was the kid that freaked out over the color purple. But, most of them typically get the most emotional over the color green, the color of nature. They all turn speechless at the sight, never having known just how vibrant it is. Because the colorblindness just sorta blends it in with surrounding wavelengths. The glasses filter/suppress some of that blended spectrum, mashing down the peaks of wavelengths so that the brain is actually able to interpret a distinction.

You... didn't look into that at all, did you? Enchroma very much, very clearly, explicitly states it offers no benefit to monochromatic vision. Their product helps because those "few colors" people can't see are filtered/separated, so that they can distinguish between the colors that just blend together.

For anyone that wants to keep up the weepy emotionals over folks being granted the gift of sight, should look up videos of Enchroma glasses, that allow colorblind folks to distinguish colors.

Catching some of Ep 4 tonight. Eh. This still feels like it's basically less entertaining Brock rampages.

Man, you've got no idea how much discussion we could squeeze out of something like Inuyasha back in the day. Call anything as shallow as you want, they're still characters, with motivations. Some level of thought goes into their design and how it conveys their personality, what influenced their mannerisms, how would this character react to this situation, morality, behavior. If anyone's truly interested in a subject, there's no end to the level of dissection they can achieve. I still remember the "Kikyou: Good, Bad, or just Misunderstood thread," wherein we could debate, page after page, various ways to interpret the actions of one single character in one show. I still remember GELLHA, some of the largest and longest running threads in the early board days, diving into every possible subject on any given anime. I remember making a thread for just discussing anime eyes, sharing pics to show just how much emotion can be displayed through drawings of a single facial feature. Of course, that was also back when we were all younger, able to fritter away our lives on the most simplest subjects that came to mind. Maybe it's just that we all got older, no longer having the time to dig very deep anymore.

Don't really know if it's related enough to your concept, but you might enjoy this. The idea that, after all matter in the universe has evaporated, that the universe itself is still in its infancy, kinda really puts a whole new scale of perspective on things.

Eh, I don't think a weekly block discussion thread would be so bad. Look at what we've got now. As soon as one show is over, the thread for it is all but abandoned as everyone flocks to the next show thread for their reaction posts. Hell, why not both ideas? Weekly block thread for all the instant reactions and +1s, dedicated show threads for actually digging into the show/episodes.

They're play-by-play reaction threads with minimal interaction between users. They're threads that end as soon as the episode is over because nobody cares enough to give them any extra thought. It's certainly a far cry from the days when AD would spend page after page on in depth character analysis or musical motifs or foreshadowing. It's all just "Wow, that happened."

Toonami's bogged down with too many floats/pinned threads half the time. Can see that being discouraging for any [as] topics. And I'd hardly call what goes on here anymore "discussions."

Yeah, looks terrible. But. And I'm not using this to defend the terrible, and it's not enough to make it less terrible. But. Looking like a Disney princess almost sorta kinda fits with the Major's approach, maybe? Like, isn't it fairly established that at least part of the reason she uses the body model she has is so she can seem innocuous and disarming? Taking advantage of abusing misogynistic misconceptions. Basically just trying to make up some justification for looking this terrible, tho.

I'll be honest. I'm not entirely sure I even know who Oasis is, beyond a faint recognition that it was probably normal people music, and would thus be likely to elicit a response (success!). My takeaway from this is that polka makes everything better.

Could always be worse, tsar.

I sorta enjoyed watching these guys explain bits of history, once upon a time. Probably my favorite, of what I watched. It's actually a little bit amazing just how fantastical some of these true stories are.

Hey, I got no problem with the lack of voices. The silent Jack episodes/scenes were certainly masterful. But. Idk. I'm definitely just being entirely too critical, too picky, etc. It's not strictly bad. Just, not as classy as I had hoped, coming from him. But at the same time, I can still see why it is what it is. Like a strange blend of Samurai Jack and early Venture Bros. Specifically the Brock rampages. The violence is just borderline ridiculous. Might just be I had different expectations. First impressions were that it was sorta trying to take itself seriously. And then it busted out the buckets of blood and spears through skulls, etc (admittedly, was only able to catch the second half of the episode when I was able to catch it at all). It's a personal thing, but I just didn't feel like they were able to blend all the elements that they wanted very well. No words, good animation, sound design, so forth, all setting up for something to get immersed in. But then it just goes over the top with the rest (ok, yeah, I'm focusing a little too much on how silly the violence seemed), that, for myself, just took me out of the experience. All that said, I can still see how it's a fitting inclusion for [as]. Really, it kinda hits all the right weird notes for them. And I'm not opposed to seeing more. Just, didn't wow me right out of the gate.

So... You like to suck?

Think this sorta crosses from "casual dating" to just trying to hook up. Maybe a bit of a sliding scale involved. Maybe definitions vary from person to person. Or maybe the dude's just gross.

Actually sorta learning something here. I've previously worked with sulfa drugs, but never bothered to understand the distinction. Yay learning?

So, hopefully the bitching about animation quiet down after a while? It's still entertaining. Personally, something about the writing or voices or acting or something is throwing me off more than any animation. Something just doesn't sound right.

Seems like it's incredibly over the top, and not really in any good way. Genndy T.'s done some good work. Not sure I'd class this among them, based off first impressions. Good art/animation, I suppose. S'about it.

More likely it's just cheaper or something. And Americans are fatasses who have to have sugar in everything. No joke, just discovered sugar as a listed ingredient in this jar of roasted+salted sunflower kernels. Not just sugar. Also has corn syrup solids and maltodextrin. Literally three sugars in a product that really should have two ingredients.

Dude. DBZ Kai started airing 5 years ago, and we've only just finally hit the end of there being new-ish episodes to air. Your "4 years" argument is garbage. It took 4 years just to get through all of Kai. And that shit was a damn sight older than Shippuden.

Ok then. You do you. But personally, I think I've mostly grown out of watching kids go through some form of school drama.
