Trunks Thread 19.1: A New New Frontier
PokeNirvash replied to PokeNirvash's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
At the turn of the millennium, to blow off steam after busting their asses both physically and emotionally on The End of Evangelion, the crews of GAINAX and Production I.G once again teamed up to create a six-episode anime to test out the new digital software in the offices of the former studio. The end result, spread out between March 2000 and March 2001, was named FLCL. It was meant to be a fun side project with no real consequences beyond the occasional bad review from someone who failed to see it as being any deeper than randomness for the sake of being random. And then the American anime company Synch-Point licensed it, dubbed it, and put it on [adult swim] in the summer of 2003. Both the crew at Williams Street and audiences across America loved it, hailing it one of the greatest anime of all time. In fact, [as] president Mike Lazzo loved it so much, he wanted more of it. Attempts to convince GAINAX to make more fell through, as they and director Kazuya Tsurumaki believed they did all they wanted to do with the property. So they held off until Production I.G bought up the rights from the dying studio GAINAX, asking if they could make a sequel now. Believing more could be done with the universe and concept of FLCL beyond Naota's own coming-of-age story, they said yes. Here we are. You might not have begged, pleaded, or washed anybody's car for it, but here it is. The sequel [as] has so desired for so long. You don't have to like it, let alone love it, but you'll have to acknowledge the existence of FLCL Progressive sooner or later. Might as well do it now before you make yourself out to be a total fool. Check it out. Tonight at midnight. Only Toonami. In regards to other happenings this late evening, Goku Black and Zamasu grace the remaining mortals in Trunks' timeline with their very own Potara fusion; now that the Spirit Bomb has been fully charged all Goku needs to do is fire it at Buu and everything will be okay, right? (R-right?), turns out all that prep for receiving All Might's Quirk isn't enough for Izuku to keep up with the other UA applicants; Iggy comes face to face with one of DIO's most malicious assassins: a falcon with a cap on its head; Feitan and Shizuku get knee-deep into their respective battles in Zazan's fortress (with sexy results~); with Rades defeated it's up to his back-up squad to exact vengeance on the Clover Kingdom for him; Sasuke's still ruining everything he touches, what else is new?; Dandy goes back to high school to catch a rare alien and oh boy am I gonna need some booze for the social caste musical number; some things aren't as they appear at first glance, kind of like the Bebop crew's trip to Venus this episode; and Lupin steals the end timeslot away to grace us all with a surprise repeat of his Italian adventure. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #65 - Ultimate Judgement!?

And you made the right choice, as difficult as it is to comprehend. -
I'm definitely watching Happy Sugar Life and Tonegawa, though I might end up watching Banana Fish is my schedule's open enough. And while I won't actually be watching it, I may make a meme out of the manager from Back Street Girls.

Wow, that's impressive. I'm currently at 444.

Between the site going down for maintenance, them forcibly locking my account because of some bullshit security problem, the e-mail I used to register my account being too defunct for me to use it to recover my password, and my currently partaking in the 2018 Anime Watching Challenge on-site... yeah, I've gotta say this is some steaming hot bullshit.
