No. It’s just...why? Let Naruto die. It had a good run. It did. But at this point just let it die.

The Berserk film trilogy, since it makes Berserk: Band of the Hawk make more sense. Space Battleship Yamato 2202 10.

DeMarco reveals another reason One Piece got kicked out
Jman replied to Lawliet720's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I've met people who have read the manga, but that was years ago. -
Why? The series really oughta have ended already.

DC’s Titans shows it’s first look...and it looks as bad as Inhumans.

Voltron Legendary Defender might have a Gay storyline after all
Jman replied to mochi's topic in Movies & Television
She never said that, only that she had no issue with that interpretation. It also exposes the Klance shippers for the hypocrites they are. -

Apparently this was suggested by one of the staff, Bex Taylor Klaus, the voice of Pidge. The same VA Keith and Lance shippers kept attacking. Monkeys paw any one? Klance is dead but there is legitimate representation. There’s also probably gonna be a Keith/Lance/Allura love triangle. -

Someone went hunting for the American Sailor Moon pilot
Jman replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
I don’t want Power Rangers on prime time television either. I still enjoy it in its weird way, still find value in it. You can like something but not think it’s an ideal fit. -

Jman replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
I’ve said before the show has a bizarre charisma that somehow appeals to men and women the same way Super Sentai and stuff like that does for me. That and these things are utterly fascinating. You don’t see this anymore in an era of simuldubs and scantlations. -
https://kotaku.com/we-tried-to-uncover-the-long-lost-american-sailor-moon-1827695456 The lore of the internet has it that before DIC just dubbed the show, someone tried to adapt Sailor Moon’s concept with completely redone footage, live action bits straight out of Power Rangers, a multiethnic cast, and most notably, one of them in a wheelchair. Someone went looking for the pilot and this is what they found.

Jman replied to Lawliet720's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Yeah, I can agree with that. It’s this LA show that fascinates me because of what it could mean if it is successful, and how many ways it could go wrong. -

...Are you OK? I’m pointing out that the show never became truly mainstream here and that the LA show is likely to flop, if it ever sees air. Just...calm down, I’m not insulting the fans, well, besides Moose anyway. -

Jman replied to Lawliet720's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
You know what I mean. Television airings. One Piece is like Asterix, where it’s popular everywhere but the US (and it’s total sales apparently are set to, if they haven’t already, pass Batman’s total comics sold ever) but that doesn’t mean a faithful LA version I’ll work. -

Oda seems like the guy who is VERY protective of his artistic vision. That and he has refusal rights on LA One Piece. If HBO writes Luffy having sex with random broads as part of his natural appetites, Oda can tell them to piss up a rope until they make something more accurate to the manga. And that WILL flop. -

If the LA One Piece has the same tone as the animated One Piece, it will flop just as hard here as that did. And Moose will rage against us dirty Americans for not respecting the word of Oda. -

I’ve said it before, but One Piece will never be relevant here unless by some miracle that live action show sees the light of day and is a successs. And the only way THAT works is if Oda somehows sells it to HBO...and let’s them go FULL HBO. Sailor Moon being on Hulu probably meant lower prices for online distribution. And DBZ...is DBZ. -
Clearly our squabbling is funny.

One Piece has one chance to be relevant in the US, and that depends whether or not Oda lets HBO go Full HBO on the live action series. Pop Team Epic is definitely cheaper.
