One utterly brilliant scene, and the usual Bruce Timm shipping issues. https://youtu.be/D2S1HcctItM

Ok, it isn't canon. We're done here.

We need the ratings. Otherwise how can we assess shows?

Shogi is chess with weirder movements and less interesting figures.

The problem with most sports anime IMO is that the average stick and ball sport just comes off as silly in the medium. Combat sports offer a different view and a different type of action (Also someone tell Netflix to make a Karate Minoru anime).

Tennis. And MAR.

Mochi, no one cares. Besides, it isn't as prissy as tennis. I remember this one guy swearing up and down Prince of Tennis was going to be YUGE. Shows what he knew.

Real sport in Portugal. Just saying.

The thing is, Fighting Spirit/Hajime no Ippo had a dub at the EXACT SAME TIME. Are you really going to tell me that boys are going to prefer tennis to BOXING?!

How did that work out again?

The Tenchi series stopped being relevant when kid-targeted anime blocks stopped being relevant. The whole joke was airing a show about women wanting to bang a teenager to an impressionable audience entering puberty. You think anyone gives a flying fuck about the space goddess bullshit at this point?

Only the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices can fix the ratings.

The ASMB was cited in a paper about demographics once.

What? There was a whole Steve Brule movie over the summer. Kong: Skull Island.. Or was that Brule's dad?

Well it certainly isn't going to reverse the downward trend.

Yeah, this is gonna reverse the ratings slide. A show that's only been gone for a year, two tops. I still have the boxset guys.

Yeah, that will reverse the tide. LOLBEBOPAIRZ.

It's not that DeMarco is averse to boobies, at least not how Kim Manning was rumored to be, it's just not supposed to be the main draw. Which is funny because all the boob-heavy stuff usually gets the most ratings.

Toonami has never shown stuff just for boobs. Although when they do because it's a secondary feature, ratings are like Akame.

Mayweather vs McGregor won this one by KO. Wasn't even close.

Yeah but they were the same designs and used the same names, even playing different roles.

Kiyone was likable? She made sense in that one OVA about Mihoshi's story because she was the straight woman to the insanity (and Mioshi was still likable back then).

I have a better question - Why has no one made Karate Minoru into an anime yet? Netflix, this is perfect for you.

If tennis bores people, Go would leave them comatose.

I caught a "rerun". The result was obvious, but how they got there was interesting.
