One Piece gone replaced with Garo. Or...anything else really.
-
While I doubt that's the case, imagine if they did remove One Piece?

I have legal subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, and occasionally purchase Chogokin models for my desk at work. The last Blu-Ray I bought was the complete collection of Cowboy Bebop a few months back when Best Buy had a sale.

I call bullshit. Because people have given you reasons. Valid ones as to why One Piece sucks. Pacing. The animation quality being complete junk. Characters who have regressed into stereotypes so badly they made Ned Freaking Flanders look nuanced. (WE FUCKING GET IT. Luffy is asexual and likes food. The joke stopped being funny about 8 years ago). And the arcs have shown themselves to not really have anything to grab onto as far as drama. It's just our merry band of two dimensional stereotypes reinforcing why they're two dimensional stereotypes. It's an endless quest for nothing about nothing. The last actual bit of emotion fell flat on its freaking face post timeskip because it was right back to the stereotypes. And every time this has been explained, you give the same response about how people don't get it. How the "lamestream" is awful because they'd rather spend their Saturday watching a UFC. How the audience wants to see the same thing week in and week out and I call bullshit. If people wanted the same thing like an 80's kids cartoon they would watch One Piece. You need to give the audience something. Something to hang their hats on. Luffy the asexual jellyfish is not it. The audience, to paraphrase Adaptation, sees it and asks "And why the FUCK am I wasting my precious Saturday with your show?! I don't have any use for it! I don't have any bloody use for it!"

It's been mentioned in promos that decades have passed but Jack no longer ages physically. -
So I heard there's going to be porn in the new Mass Effect.

You can't have Hot Coffee in space. Unless you play Star Control 2 and that's text based. -

We aired anime X-Men. Go full HAM and air DxD and Senran Kagura instead of OP and Shippuden. Ratings go up. -

Cancel One Piece. Hopefully Jack helps. -
So... what does everyone think of Dragonball Super so far?
Jman replied to moose's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I dunno, I just cannot like Super. It feels like post cancellation Family Guy and everyone is a complete asshole. At least OG Goku had the excuse of being a kid, same as GT Goku. -

He's not Superman but he had nobility. You know what the difference between Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin is? Homer gives a shit about his family, even the boy. The entire plot of the Simpsons movie is Homer fucking up and then moving heaven and earth to set things right, something Peter would never do. Z and GT Goku, especially GT Goku, is the same kinda lazy guy who wants to fight and train but when it came down to it, was willing to move heaven and earth (literally sometimes) to save his family and friends. Super Goku wouldn't give a fuck if it meant getting a good fight out of it. -

While GT sucked, it had redeeming qualities. The Shadow Dragons are essentially a giant call out towards the series and how casually it treated death (the sheer rage from Dende on Dragonball abuse is hilarious). Hillbilly 17. And the ending actually has Goku be a true hero, not the manchild he's completely devolved into in Super. -

This is essentially post-cancellation Family Guy where everyone becomes infinitely less likable, only not as preachy and up its ass with messages. -
Moonlight won and I expect Trump to rage tweet any minute now.

To me, it has the opposite of charm. And a lot of times, charm is not enough. Charm didn't save Bleach, and it didn't save Naruto. But HxH has no charm, and OP has the opposite of charm where seeing it drives me into a frothing rage. I think a good example of charm in a show is say, The Flash, where you excuse goofier elements and character pining because everything is so high concept and fun.

Poke, it's OK. It's Ok. You know he's just looking to troll.
