Yeah, we're all just sitting on our piles of disposable income, with no real clue what to do with it all.

If we're going down the list, I'd add the name as a contributing factor to it flopping. Would it be unreasonable to say that most of the anime targeted at kids, at least back in the day, had names that were easily related to some element of the show? I submit that "One Piece" simply failed to really cement what the show was in the minds of the audience. But I also admit that I'm also biased against the show. Anyway, this is all hindsight talking, and there's no real way to know if this was changed or that, it might've gotten more attention or not. Believing it totally could've gotten a bigger following if it was handled better is just as biased on the other end. As someone that never really cared for it, looking back, I can't imagine a better dub changing my opinion. What [as] aired wasn't much different to what we started with however long ago.

Kinda curious how much of KN's legal issues (whatever they were) would just magically disappear if we didn't have some of these trash users... Gotta say, the time when at least one of these was forced away was definitely one of the best board experiences I've seen in a while. It's so nice when threads don't get immediately derailed when one of a number of posters decides to open their hole of choice.

Are we talking the animated movies? I mean, surely we are, since they're the only good ones DC puts out...

Yeah. Being fair, the show has never been big on the whole "with my friends by my side, we can accomplish anything together" trope. Serious question, tho, unrelated, when was the last time Hierophant Green was out? Feels like Kaki's been back for a while now and just not really done anything. I guess technically they played some video games. I guess that's why it feels like it's been longer; not exactly the usual stand showcase.

The vibrations are great for putting baby to sleep.

Nonsense. It's just begging for an entire filler arc. Granny Vegeta, Queen of the Saiyans.

Ehh. It was more fun, but Futurama was at least a little smarter about it. There was an awful lot of "behind" and "in front of" here.

I think what you meant to say was she has a frog in her throat.

Mirror mage always was one of my favorites.

That probably still would've been a significant handicap in a game of tag. Honestly, this arc's kinda taken over too much of the show. They may as well have made this the entire plot of the show. By now everything that came before this just seems meaningless.

It's obviously exactly that. Making it painfully clear who his rival is.

I think it's just occurred to me. The headphones, changing from blue to red, is probably a reference to Canti's own transformation. Kinda like the headphones are the new Canti. Turning red and using their host to unlock greater power...

Sooo, we're just skipping over Granny Vegeta then I guess?

And if all goes well, tonight, too.

That's a fuckin' couch if I've ever seen one. Make sure it's Scotchgarded.

Got a pretty good deal on your mom last night.

We all know nothing outside of the DC Animated Universe is worth paying attention to.

I had a similar reaction when I tried to play Crisis Core. The game just throws you into a fight with no idea what you're actually doing, and by the end, you're even more confused about every mechanic they tried to explain or introduce.

I think Gundam's been in an odd place for me, personally lately. I know it's sorta always had that sociopolitical context, but I'm not sure if it's felt a little too heavy lately (at least the Toonami picks), or if I just haven't had the attention span, or maybe nostalgia is just glossing over that aspect of older iterations. But I can say that I like the idea better than basically everything else mentioned here. At least any single Gundam series is its own complete story. I mean, I guess Jojo has sorta had that going for it, too; each arc has been somewhat self contained. I just never got into the campiness, and genuinely can't tell if it's meant to be intentional or not. But still, yeah. It's kinda dragged on for a while. The monster-of-the-week format isn't so entertaining in the long run. As for AoT, well, that's just my personal distaste for the main character that ruins the show for me.

I think I just gagged a little. If we're going to be fine with dumpster ratings, can we at least not air dumpster shows? Dig up some actual gems maybe?

I thought we agreed that too many subfolders is what killed the original boards in the first place. I never really liked ramen.

Mixing lolis with wincest. Two great tastes that don't taste great together.

It's the stylized Ms stacked on top of each other. In the original, it was most prominent on top of the hat of the giant hand robot in Brittle Bullet. But I'm pretty sure it shows up on all the MM robots. I seem to recall seeing it quite clearly on the facility itself at some point in Progressive.
