I'll concede the point. Personally I would rather you were given the item straight up rather than being teased like someone holding a treat in front of a puppy. Also I make fun of stuff but that doesn't mean I hate it. Please try to realize that. I don't hate YOI. It clearly isn't for me but that does not equal hatred.

Haven't I gone off on SAO and NaruHina enough? Because I could write essays on those two sucking hard. And would you believe not having a couple is something I clearly enjoyed about Moana?

Nope.

My joking about YOI aside (because I find figure skating hella lame) that actually did it right by saying it was about this M/M relationship and not making any apologies for it. Korrasami proves Bryke are bad writers or huge bullshit artists. If the relationship was meant to begin from Season 2 and did, it would have felt much more natural. She would have discovered she was into...everyone and I would have bought that. I don't buy it the way it was. Very few gay men are written well in US TV because they're either a joke or a retcon. Making Mr. Terrific in Arrow gay from the start was a good idea, same with the head of police in the Flash being gay but his stereotypes are more about him being Da Chief with his sexuality not the only part of his personality. Honestly if characters don't treat their sexualities like this dark secret people would probably be more likely to accept them. I don't want to rage against gay couples, I want to rage against badly written couples regardless of orientation. It's why the original Voltron's love story is kinda a joke while Daimos and the relationship between Kazuya and Erika was so well done.

My old postings on the ASMB should have made that clear but they dead. The problem isn't gay or straight characters so much as it is turning characters one way or the other to placate loud mouthed fans. It's why characters like Sara Lance from Legends of Tomorrow (bisexual with clear preference for women) are such a breath of fresh air. She sleeps with women but it was never a retcon, it was a Day 1 part of her personality and one part of it.

Tumblr fans are harassing the creators about making Keith gay. Oh, he can't have a girlfriend! Oh, I'll drop the show if he kisses a woman! Fuck off! I've repeatedly expressed that gay people should have the same rights as everyone else. But you cannot go playing the "it's homophobic!" card if a character who has shown zero gay tendencies kisses a woman. It's a load of horseshit. Stop watching then!

You called me out. You're going to get One Piece (Of crap) insults until it's gone.

Also if I hear one more goddamn thing about how LBGT representation is an absolute necessity for this show and how Keith can't have a girlfriend because he holds the hand of a masked alien I am going to fucking scream. Leave! Go back to your gay figure skating show! No one wants you here! (This thread may soon need to be renamed "Jman rants about Voltron and tells everyone to watch Kuromukuro instead.")

Nothing about One Piece is fun. A root canal would be more fun. It is painful, boring, an absolute slog.

One Piece is not fun. It's to be made fun of. (Hey, you called me out).

Uh, most of the time I find anime to be a bonus feature with services I get. Netflix for instance I get for the originals and the anime is a bonus. Same with Hulu. Making it extra is not going to work as well as they think.

Oh there's assuredly an audience. Basement dwellers who identify with the power fantasy.

And now...Greatest fails from 4Kids Piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnU0czVRsHY ;D

4Kids Piece is the equivalent of pro wrestling being fake. If you are a fan, you WILL hear about it, and it is the first, last, and only argument to shut down any support of it.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-01-12/amazon-u.s-launches-anime-strike-paid-streaming-service/.110924 Nearly every on-demand in the general TV market seems to be doing their best to have a robust anime selection. This doesn't even count exclusive services like Crunchyroll. Debate, bemoan the increasing amount of on demand services vying for your dollars, and wonder what it means for Toonami here.

Um, anyway... Maybe it's the member berries talking, but I always liked that 80's aesthetic a lot more than the modern one. There was something grittier, more substantial about it.

I have a huge bias for the 80's aesthetic. Thick lines, manly men, etc.

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.
