All ratings save DBZ are the shits apparently.

Latest, IBO, then Season 2 of Kuromukuro. Kurmukuro is so much better than Voltron it's not even funny, which is strange considering the pitch is "Inu-Yasha with giant robots and less filler or people yelling names." Actually, wait, that's freaking awesome.

The final episode...20 years after the fact. Although everything said has

Whole thing is on Netflix dubbed.

Needs Bo Jackson.

Lazzo comes off as a complete asshole here. "Fuck you, we won't sell it, we won't make more, Metalocalypse dies because I personally do not find it funny," That is such bullshit.

He's a parody of those "too dangerous to hang out with others" teammates in superhero books. Youngblood was full of them.

From what I understand, Mero Mero is based specifically into attraction to the user but it's a moot point given all the retcons. He is asexual.

Depends. In Goku's case, it was a vehicle to have kids for the next season. Personally I think it's a small miracle he knew what sex was (and not to mention the old Man of Steel, woman of Kleenex bit.). It only works as a comedy where the punchline is "he's been roped into this and has no idea how or why). If anyone suggested otherwise (like there was genuine love) I would laugh at them. In the case of One Piece, Luffy has been shown to be attracted to all of one woman in Nami and Oda apparently retconned that in the dumbest way possible. If he ended up with Boa, unless it's another "she tricked him but he has no sexual drive, LOL" it would be beyond ludicrous. I guess because they're shown as asexual and not caring it works as that one joke, but if you're going to convince me they're serious, especially in Oda's case where he retcons anything that suggests Luffy is anything but asexual (like Strong World where it feels all but stated in the message Luffy doesn't hear that Nami loves him.) You do not put all this effort into ensuring he's asexual and then suddenly give him a libido.

That would be great. Make it non-issue.

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.
