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.

Bleach Light Novels Top Sales Charts; Japan Unable to Keep Up with Demand!
Jman replied to ben0119's topic in Anime & Manga
We have those too. It's just usually they're not made into cartoons. -
Final Fantasy XV should be renamed Final Fantasy: The Road Trip.

Anyway, I imagine a slice of life show like this has a far easier point of entry than OP's massive continuity. Easier to make new fans.

Has anyone watched Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress?
Jman replied to molarbear's topic in Anime & Manga
Steampunk Walking Dead? Yeah, for a show based on the zombie genre it felt rather unique. -

If the Hollywood adaptation of Naruto changes the ending, it will probably end up killing Sasuke. I would call that a marked improvement. -
You re-created a thread that got deleted? This will not end well.

i wish One Piece Wasn't so damn far behind on toonami
Jman replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Blame Toei. They apparently will only let Luffy be voiced by a woman and screen said voices. -

Since a certain someone isn't here, I will say that One Piece made a terrible first impression on Toonami. 4Kids took a silly show and made it sillier while excising or altering all the dramatic moments, Then to add insult to injury, Toonami's first arc re-introducing OP? One of the silliest arcs and reinforcing all the bad memories 4Kids gave people. -

You're still dealing with a tainted product. Although starting with a comedy arc and reinforcing everyone's negative feelings towards One Piece was incredibly dumb. -
The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Jman replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
It was just Mochi bringing up the ONLY thing he brings up. Again. -
The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Jman replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
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.

Whole thing is on Netflix dubbed.

Brendon Small on Metalocalypse Vs [adult swim]
Jman replied to Admin's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
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. -

Jman replied to mochi's topic in Anime & Manga
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.
