The only failure is this belligerent insistence on watching a show (a god damn shounen no less) on the grounds that failure to do so is a strike against ones intelligence. We live in the binge era. You provide a hook or provide more content. And if Ajin's second season is out and all 13 episodes are ready, it's a better watch.
-
There were like, four in the pilot alone. Dolores' sentience, the Man in Black, the mechanizations from the park staff, and exactly what Dr. Ford thought about his creations. That's four more than Hiatus. Westworld had everything moving at a brisk pace while building its mysteries, mysteries which took time to unravel but always kept me engaged. At no point in watching Westworld did I feel the inner rage Hiatus caused.
-
It's funny because being on ASA and recently Toonami is a sign the show is shit.
-
Fuck you for thinking this shit is anything resembling intelligent. I want an intelligent serial, I'll watch Westworld. Slow burn, but it had a fucking hook!
-
Let it be known you lost. Fuck you, At least try goddammit. Why do Toonami shows not fucking try? Super is a cash in of the worst sort, Kai is literally a rehash, FUCK HIATUS X HIATUS UP THE ASS WITH A RUSTY FORK, Unicorn relies on you having at a least a passing knowledge of UC Gundam, fairly common in Japan for their equivalent of Star Trek, but alien here, Naruto meanders through filler and dumber and dumber editorial mandates, and One Piece is glacial. YOU LOSE! YOUR RATINGS LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!
-
No, fuck you. You know what the problem is with shit like this? It's when there's no hook but you're expected to stay on week in and week out. No, fuck you. I'm not watching procrastinating shit from the laziest comic book artist since Rob Liefeld. There's no hook, no motivation to keep watching, no nothing. Fuck this show and let it die. Let Togashi mooch off his wife like he seems to want to. This is why the seasonal model now exists in Japan like every other country.
-
No because I dropped the show well before then. Because I DO NOT CARE. My not caring trumps any slow burn that pays off in two years.
-
I need to provide a formal paper on why Gon is boring? Are you fucking real? Ok, fine. For a character solely motivated by revenge, he's taking his sweet time trying to get to it. There's no drive in his actions or the plot. That's what I mean by glacial pacing. And besides, Kirito is less a fleshed out character so much as he is an audience surrogate. A guy who plays vidya games to save the day and have women fawning after him. He's less a character and more a power fantasy which is why he tends to be popular with teens. His Sue-ish tendencies aren't a bug, they're a feature.
-
Yes I have. I mentioned the pacing was so glacial and the characters so flat that it didn't matter. I also mentioned my opinion was not fact but the pacing is in fact glacial, and even fans admit you have to watch for close to a year before the show magically turns into the next Game of Thrones. This is why I dropped it rather early on.
-
One Piece had its chance to be mainstream and completely crapped the bed. "YO YO HE TOOK A BITE OF THE GUM GUM..." At least Unicorn is only 26 episodes.
-
No it wouldn't. People who do like it aren't willing to put up with Toonami's glacial pacing and go to FUNi or Hulu. People who don't like it...don't like it. It's a minority of a minority.
-
One Piece wouldn't.
-
You know what was never popular in the US? One Piece. To be honest, it's the same situation as Comedy. You could dump everything but Family Guy and they'd be fine. Same here, just replace FG with Dragonball.
-
But Hiatus and OP would be gone. That's good!
-
Better than the non-existent progress in Hiatus. Or Gon being the definition of a flat character.
-
Toonzone archives will validate this story. They actually promised this and then naturally, Standards and Practices stepped in. This may have ruined the relationship with then-ADV for a while too.
-
Giant Robot Week bombed because Toonami made the INSANE promise all the shows would be uncensored. This included Evangelion episodes 1 and 2. I remember when I found out they were censored, I stopped watching.
-
Really? Toys of robots sell. Transformers movies have made how much again?
-
G is sorta the antithesis of UC being both optimistic and bugnuts insane.
-
But that's probably how he acted. FUNi does have a 1.5/5 on Glassdoor. Besides, that wouldn't be the worst of it. Nah, that'd be the rep after a few run and cokes. "Oda? Like he'd come to see this shit. All he did was cash the check..." "You...see this bullshit? It's fucking filler. Shit's faker than Pro wrestling. That's the beauty of it. It's filler so none of this shit matters. Ever." Then he flicks over someone's drink. "And you know what? You have to pay for another. There's no free refills during Film Bullshit."
-
Love to know how that premiere went in a Marriot conference room. "Welcome...all three of you, to the premier of One Piece filler movie #Whofuckingcares. Let's get this fucking shit over with. No thank you for coming. I hate you three nerds, I hate me, and I hate One Piece. It's all filler anyway. Now let's finish up so I can drown my sorrows working for this hole (1.5 stars on Glassdoor) in rum and coke.

The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Jman replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
The internet was the mistake. -
I'll make my own. It'll be labeled as Jman's list specifically.
-
It's one thing if the arc moves in a direction I don't like. It's another if there's no discernible advancement. I hate this fucking show. Opinion. The characters haven't done a lot to move the plot forward. Objective.
