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 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.

OPM gained on OP and DeMarco's squeeing for it becomes infinitely more frustrating. Cancel OP.

The new rallying cry is "All hail Netflix and Hulu, your entertainment gods." Especially when Bojack Horseman is what Morel Orel wanted to be before Lazzo pulled he plug. (Also new season of Ajin > Shippuden.)

Look at those drops for Hiatus and OP. In contrast, Naruto held rather well.

Well...it's official. It bombed. Toonami is over. Everyone has moved to Netflix, your new entertainment God.

IBO at least had character development, and forward progress. HxH is an absolute chore.

Last second magic right there.
