No worse than any other old CG show. Plus, it's RT. As long as the fights look good, I'm in.

On particularly bright days, often early morning or evening, on the drive to/from work, I'll fantasize about having some gauze or something to wrap over my eyes, as the sunglasses alone just don't cut it.

Huh. Can't hurt to apply for aid or forgiveness or whatever. I've got insurance, but after getting back a $6000 bill (was 12k before insurance) for a stupid emergency room turned hospital stay which shouldn't have been more than a simple out-patient, I just filled out their forms which basically amounted to "yo, you ain't ever getting this money, I will never have enough to pay you any of it." Kinda how I treat my student loans, too.

Thought it was sorta implied that the big crusher thing crushed them all.

Meh. A bit of plot convenience that he was swallowed whole or whatever. How lucky, to get eaten by the one titan that doesn't chew its food. Additional point that bugs me is, well, the entire plot of the show. I might be misinterpreting something here, cuz, things got needlessly complicated at this point, but as far as I could understand events seem to be something like: The mainland has managed to gain control of and indoctrinate some of these people with the shifter powers. Colossal, Armored, Beast, and whatever the lady from S1 was, Annie? Idk. Whatever. Seems like we're meant to conclude that they've been sent from the mainland to infiltrate and undermine the city, bring down the defenses, and let the waves of mindless titans flush everyone out so the mainland can start drilling or w/e. Cue ep 1. My question is: Why? Why go to all that trouble to complicate shit? First of all, mainland has actual fucking airships. Set up a base on the edge of the island or something, load those suckers up, and start bombing the shit out of everyone. What are they gonna do about it? But, more importantly, ignoring that, they've already got spies infiltrating the city, how hard is it to gather intel and discover the leader wiped everyone's memory years ago, doesn't want to fight, and basically nobody knows the actual situation anymore. Seems like the mainland is going to all this trouble because they still believe that if they just attacked outright, the island would retaliate in all their titan-y fury. But, unless there's some other layer to this, kinda seems like that no longer holds true, and the mainland could just roll an army through and be done with it. Kinda not sure why they couldn't have done that regardless at this point. Surely they've got the superior technological advantage. An army of titans vs a battery of mortars, dropping bombs, firearms, navy, etc.

Y'know, just thought of something, possibly a major plot hole. Shifter power is transferred by having someone transformed into a mindless titan and eating the person carrying the shifter power. Soooo, why didn't that happen when Eren got eaten way back in S1? Was there some sort of time limit established or something? Seems like, following show logic, the attack titan's power should've transferred to whoever was in that titan that ate him. I knew the damned kid should've stayed dead from the start.

Ah, right. I knew it was a Vampire, but for some reason thought it was Vampire Octopus, not Vampire Squid. But you're right. It just sorta spits in the face of typical classification, as bizarre as it is.

That's an octopus, and I'm a pedant.

There was a typo during the scene introducing all the characters, MC listed as "Shira." Kinda really threw me off for the rest of the episode, trying to figure out if I'm hearing it wrong or what.

Damn, tsar. Just cuz a bird is black you automatically think maybe he's Mike Tyson? Does every black man/animal look the same to you? jk, I get what you're going for. Bit of a stretch, tho.

I still think the writing coulda done something possibly truly impressive if they just kept Eren dead back in S1. I mean, it's done ok for itself, I guess. But, something other than "super powered teenager single handedly saving humanity" would've been nice. A little more futility, some actual overcoming of odds, rather than resorting to magic.

Starting to feel like this convoluted story is trying to give Kingdom Hearts a run for its money. I'm so glad I never got seriously invested in this. What a mess.

Why do you keep saying "several months"? What are your sources saying that the show will be down for that long? Cuz, if it's already started airing, it's very probably already all made and ready to go, they're just putting in a delay on airing the next episode to not seem completely inconsiderate. After a week or two, it'll be back to running. There are, presumably, still contracts in play, people still need to make money, etc. They're not completely shelving this.

So, as someone not interested or invested enough in this to bother reading or listening or really following any of this... Have they gotten to the point yet where they've made an effort to prove Vic is not actually literal feces?

Disagree.

A show so bad they had to sacrifice the tainted time slot.

New game: Every time someone mentions "anti-magic," from now on, I'm going to mentally replace it with "hentai-magic."

Almost a shame that Sorbo turned out to be such a terrible person.

I haven't caught up with new tech, so, I still buy things on dvd. >_>

Tennant's also already done Duck Tales, so it's not like voice acting is a new thing for him.

I haven't sought this out, but, RT isn't such a terrible thing. I'm a little soured on their choice to not air stuff like RWBY on youtube anymore (look, I bought the soundtracks and DVDs, why piss off fans that are giving you way more money than some piddly ad revenue?). And, truthfully, I'm not a huge follower or anything, but it still seems like the company has made some great strides. And, even though Monty Oum is gone, I'll hope that some of his protegees (or at least anyone that's gotten the experience in his animation style) has worked on this. Because, by the fucking gods, that man could choreograph and animate a fight scene like no other. Series he was involved in may have taken a slight hit, but I think/hope the animation team has worked hard to make him proud.

Depends. Wouldn't surprise me if every episode gets little cuts here and there to trim down the run time Idk, haven't watched it to really know what they could edit. Isn't it pretty normal (or maybe was, years ago) for a lot of anime to get a similar treatment, since JP show slots are just longer than ours or something?

That seems typical of RT. Making a web-based series that doesn't need to conform to tv standards, they can get away with it. Kinda weird (and I guess a little impressed) that they've pulled off a push to actually get on a network. Still salty about them moving their shows off youtube, tho.

Ok, so, something to consider, which was never taken into consideration. Weren't the super mega giga dragon balls from the 6th and 7th universes? If one (or both) of them were to be removed, shouldn't the dragon balls also be eliminated?

Thermostat outside my room read 91 a few weeks back here. Thankfully that heat wave only lasted a couple days. I've only got one dinky little fan. Mostly survived with the help of a good ice pack. When it's that bad, I'm not even sure how well those evaporative/swamp coolers would help, or if they'd just add to the humidity and make things more miserable.
