Weebs telling me FF 13 was better than Mass Effect is the rough equivalent of saying they have no idea how game design works.

Well, after the latest ratings related panic attack, it's time to once again ask about the digital end of getting Toonami shows. It's been said over and over that On Demand is and continues to be what pushes somewhat niche content forward. Look no further than Netflix investing significantly in its anime offerings, Hulu acquiring streaming rights where available, and Crunchyroll reporting record profits (while laying off staff, because capitalism.). In contrast, AS/Toonami's offerings are woefully underfunded and out of date. Let's count the issues: 1. Limited selection. This could be a matter of rights, but nothing is more frustrating than wanting to start watching a show, only to realize that the show cycles on at Episode 10. Off to Netflix! 2. Lack of support. In an age where every video app wants to be on your console and multimedia device, Adult Swim's app is still limited to Android, iOS, and PC. If you want to watch anime on demand on your TV, you would not be using Adult Swim's app. 3. No saving your spot. Just about every single app saves your spot. Adult Swim? Fuck you, write down the time stamp. In an age where On Demand offerings eat Toonami's lunch, they need to offer robust On Demand options to answer in kind. They do not.

I'm kinda glad Family Guy is wearing out it's welcome since the writers stopped trying years ago.

Especially One Piece. Betcha that didn't crack 300k total. >

Except the Helga premise sounded good, vs that which was awful.

The problem is those people weren't talking about it from an LBGTQ+ perspective so much as crying about chemistry when no one else (save Lance) has done anything romantic to speak of besides a comic relief. It wasn't coming from a place of wanting a gay hero so much as it was expressing rage their baby likes girls.

How badly did Family Guy shit the bed?

And the Tumblrinas are out in full force hella pissed Keith likes girls. "No chemistry! Muh representation!" I love slow burn romances. I get annoyed with people wanting to toss that out for fetish pandering. And then Lotor hitting on Lance so Keith realizes his on-existent feelings(vs him being a creep to Allura)? Hard pass.

So we have a muscle chick Saiyan? You know, some people are into that shit. Damn you internet for making me know that.

I didn't get confused so much as I didn't give a shit.

Because the tone of this thread switched from "This show is slow" to "DIE DIE EVERYBODY DIE!"

Season 2 of Voltron was...a lot better. Personally, if you look at both halves as one big season, it works a lot better. (Fandoms be cray-cray tho).

Any legitimate complaints about Hiatus have long since gone out the window. The big one is that it takes its sweet-ass time.

Is it any dumber than some of the stuff on Walking Dead?

I'm over here in my corner watching whatever anime is exclusive on Netflix. I guess Voltron counts. Y'all be angry about Love Live too much.

Reading the Expanded Universe and the various flings he has (to the point it becomes a running gag how women throw themselves at him), no. Then again I read those books.

Well, I still have no idea what they plan on doing with Pidge yet. Also, next season, Lotor was a gigantic creep towards Allura in the old series with a massive Oedipus complex. I could easily see that being used to confirm Keith and Allura's relationship.

I don't know. If Keith had a personality in the first half I would actually agree with you, but for the first season he was a store mannequin that knew kickboxing. Now he has a personality, and he clearly feels lonely, feels isolated, and apparently really cares about Allura and what she thinks of him.

They addressed the Shiro/Keith stuff at least. Shiro seems to be Keith's surrogate brother. Keith flat out says Shiro is a brother to him.

Season 2 hit, and the same fujioshi who pushed the Asian guy into a gay relationship when he had no personality are now pissed he has a personality...and apparently has feelings for the black girl. "Oh he has no chemistry! Oh they need to be platonic!" Fuck off.

It's like they want me to hate this show. http://www.polygon.com/tv/2017/1/18/14301768/voltron-legendary-defenders-season-2-netflix Everyone go watch Knights of Sidonia instead. It's on Netflix, there's a genderfluid character that isn't tactless fan girl bait...and it has a lot more giant robot fights.

We have those too. It's just usually they're not made into cartoons.
