Pretty sure GITS is gonna stay the block send-off no matter where Tokyo Ghoul is placed on the schedule. :

Ships leaving the dock hasn't stopped Toonami before. [coughjojocough]

You know he's never gonna do that. He enjoys being a dick to people he doesn't know.

I know there's a thread for this already, but... One Piece is off the block starting March 25. Tokyo Ghoul is now in. Premiere time TBD. [as predicted by chiller ani-wednesdays]

Well... Well well well. This was certainly unexpected. Sucks that we won't get to see One Piece beyond Thriller Bark, but if they had to pull it off the schedule, temporarily or permanently, at any spot, they couldn't have picked a better place. Ending the Toonami Swim run with Brook settling into the crew seems like as good a send-off as any. At least, until they decide to revisit the show somewhere down the line. I still have hope, even if you all don't. As for Tokyo Ghoul, I'll approach it the same way I did Akame ga Kill: fuck your negative opinions, I'm gonna enjoy this and you aren't gonna stop me. O0

Technically they're still on series 1, but going by arcs, they're slightly over halfway through Battle Tendency.

I can only imagine what percentage of your total posts are that line exactly. [i know, i a busta too ]

So you're saying every year is 2007? ::HMM::

Well, at least it's more emotive than what OLM's been doing with the show for the past decade or two. -_'

Oh hey Hikki, it's been a while! We're only 19 episodes into JoJo, so you don't necessarily have to rush to catch up if you want to. HxH is pretty good, but that's just me. Also, Samurai Jack returns tomorrow and I should really get to marathoning those last 31 episodes. ::HMM::

March Comes in Like a Lion #16 - Running Through the Night / Middle of the Slope

Samurai Jack 21 March Comes in Like a Lion 16

I'm 20 episodes in on my end. My plan is to marathon the last 32 over the course of tomorrow night and all Saturday. A sweet way to kick off Spring Break, if you ask me. ;D

Huh. I was under the impression that it was always getting picked up for a series ever since the name change from Lakewood Plaza Turbo.

Black Cat 1

Kinda like what he does when someone badmouths One Piece. [and that. is. ironyyyyyyyyyyy~]

March Comes in Like a Lion #15 - Moonlight / Lump of Ego

March Comes in Like a Lion 15

I blame Foxy for that OP retention. -_'

Kuromukuro 14

I think he's referring more to the fact that whenever the topic's brought up, you seem... obsessed with having One Piece axed.

Rewatched Kuromukuro 13

Samurai Jack 20

As long as he’s not advocating the mass slaughter of minorities, I say we treat Von Stroheim like he’s one of the good guys. And again, Pillar Men aren’t exactly humans and have abilities as bizarre as the show title implies, so I’d just run with the human illogicality of his Brilliant Bone Blade. Not to mention weeks have passed since he woke up, so he could've looked up how chainsaws worked in order to emulate one, assuming the Pillar Men didn't create the process themselves before humans figured out how to work it too. Judging from the silhouettes in the cold open explanation of Nen user types from the two previous episodes, my money’s on Specialist. DRAGONBALL SUPER I just now realized that there are letters on Roshi’s Hawaiian shirt in the OP and it looks like they’re supposed to spell something. Uh, so they capitalized “at” for emphasis, huh? So the Dragon Balls are actually known as “Wish Orbs”, huh? Neat bit of worldbuilding there, show. THE SKY TURNS DARKER THAN THE BLACKEST VOID AND OUT OF IT COMES A HUGE DRAGON. And that is why you never doubt Pilaf. I can just feel the secondhand embarrassment. Oh Bulma, you so sassy. Gohan looks off for some reason. I’m sure Vegeta would’ve rejected had Goku called him “Best Buddy”. This show is so meta. Well that’s certainly intense-looking. Okay, that was a pretty awesome lineup promo. Loved the end where Sakura punched out the token filler tranny. Thanks for the basic math lesson, Whis. You know, it’s hard to really enjoy Beerus when he’s trying to destroy the Earth every five minutes. Gohan really did get lucky, even if his wife lost all her tomboy charm between then and now. In which Chi-Chi forgets about Goten. I’m gonna hafta agree with Beerus here, get on with it! Goddammit Goku don’t go insulting your future grandbaby. And then Videl became an honorary Super Saiyan. Piccolo’s just waiting for this to be over. Sweet, it’s a whole bunch of nimbus clouds. Where’d that napkin come from anyways? [iNSERT OBSCURE KIGUMA REFERENCE HERE] All weather events, happening at once. LOL at Roshi getting the hail. And then they were taken over by…. VIBRATRONICA. The combined vibrating and music makes me feel like this should be part of an Off the Air episode, preferably one with Dan Deacon’s music. Alright, for as dragged out as it was, the Super Saiyan God ritual was pretty damn beautiful. So what makes a Super Saiyan God? Brighter clothes, a slight tan, and hair capable of absorbing all green light. Funny how Piccolo had to get a go-ahead from Dende to smile at this. TOP BILLING: Goku, but I doubt that’s accurate, since Trunks somehow got second place. DRAGONBALL Z KAI Last time, Toei solidified its place as the worst anime studio of all time by blackmailing FUNimation into pretending the Team Four Star dub of the Cell Games Reenactment never existed. But at least Lani’s speedy shilling of Mr. Satan merchandise made it through unscathed. : ) I had a feeling that vaguely Southern woman was that blonde douche’s mother. They have a kid named Pepperoni out there? Man, these names are getting unoriginal. Ah, the joys of kids fighting other kids. It feels like this is more a pre-show for the actual tournament than a tournament all its own. Question: is it against the rules to use the announcer as a human shield? As far as Mr. Satan’s concerned, even losers are winners. Mini-Trunks. Battle of the mothers right there. AUTOMATIC KNOCKOUT. Idasa, you a busta. I love smug Bulma. Crying is always the best form of deception. Hmm, Goten looks like he’s way more nervous about this than he should be. I had a feeling that Goten’s opponent was Idasa’s brother. FUN FACT: Both are voiced by Josh Grelle. JACKIE CHUN FLASHBACK CAMEO SPOTTED. Of course the second machine had to have technical errors. : I have no idea why, but I enjoy watching Idasa and Ikose’s mother’s antics. > FUCK YEAH CHI-CHI. Isn’t that black boxer guy a little old to be in the Junior Division? Of all the things I was expecting out of Sand Whale and Me… I was not expecting it to be a Let’s Play. -_' Now to see how evenly matched these two are… Shut the fuck up jerks, he’s been waiting more patiently than the rest of you knob-jobbers. >( Dammit, I almost failed to recognize Yamcha again. Oh hey, they finally made it. SO MANY REACTION FACES. Poor Oolong. I swear, the further along this fight goes, the awesomer it gets. :-D And everyone out there agrees! TOP BILLING: Goddammit they’re putting all out of order again, those bastards. Who cares about Goku vs. Beerus, tell me who did that promo song. In other places, I’m starting to become convinced that making a live-action GITS was a terrible idea. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE SCREENCAP #1: Rudol Von Stroheim, your new favorite WWII-era German soldier. DOUBLE SHOCK! “Apart from being affiliated with the Nazis, he’s actually not all that bad.” Oh, so that’s where Wamuu is. GERMAN SCIENCE IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD!!! :D Pluck him like a chicken. FUCK YES VON STROHEIM YOU ARE THE COOLEST NAZI CYBORG. When I first watched this with my uncle, he thought the light from Kars’ bone blade was Hamon. That’s when I reminded him that Hamon being lethal to Pillar Men is kind of the point of their motivations. : HERE HE COMES HERE HE COMES HERE HE COMES. “Taste my organic chainsaw!” It’s been a long time coming, and it finally came. ANCIENT GERMANIC LASER BEAMS! Quick, to the chasm! “Kars happened.” Well said, Caesar. H-HAYAI! Are the Pillar Men psychic or something? They seem to be really good at predicting Joseph’s next moves. This show is just too good, and I feel sorry for everyone who either dropped or doesn’t like it. Between the Kong sympathizers and Samuel L. Motherfucking Jackson, I have no idea who to root for. SCREENCAP #2: The most ridiculous image you’ve ever seen. A lot can happen in five seconds. Well, the blade’s out of his chest, so… mission accomplished? :-\ FUCK YEAH JOSEPH. Thank you, Caesar. Caesarino~. ;-D And thus the flowers were saved. But for what purpose? [maniacally laughs externally] A place for manly men to play manly sports. In the snow. In which Joseph dicks around with cats. Huh, I’ve got nothing for this. What to do: attack him at his weakest, or avoid running the risk that they might have the upper hand there still? “Only engage in a fight when victory is assured… when you have the flu.” Yeah… I wouldn’t exactly say Joseph is cool-headed. “Half-cocked” was also a cheap shot at his penis size. In this scene, Joseph represents the “you don’t need to read part 1 to understand part 2” party, while Caesar stands for those who read JoJo in order as properly intended. Did he almost call him an asshole? Hmm, so Lisa Lisa and Messina are actually seeing things Joseph’s way. Which means that Caesar’s taking this thing rather personally. Is it really a hidden past if you know about it? I always love it whenever Roundabout kicks in. What the hell was that commercial even, M&Ms? MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 The only thing I’m confused on is, when over the course of the last two episodes did the La+ Program reveal the coordinates of Laplace’s Box? I don’t remember anything like that ever happening. Well, at least I now understand what I should be seeing now. Oh hey, I recognize that message. The message is coming from inside the Gundam! Banagher’s Newtype senses are tingling! Can’t talk, show requiring too much attention from me. Well, Marida’s awake, that’s good, I guess. But why did she save him? I don’t know what this “Belko Experiment” is, but I hope whoever came up with it gets his dick cut off. Huh, paying attention to the show has made me notice how irregularly the lip flaps match up to the dialogue. So you’re saying that the Unicorn is a machine of peace? One crafty son of a bitch. If I didn’t say it earlier, I’ll say it now: Daguza is actually pretty cool. And now for the best sacrifice in Gundam history (as far as I know). That pre-mortem salute, man. T-T7 I don’t know what that sound effect is, but I love it. Yeah, suck it, Dean Venture! Good news: he didn’t miss. Bad News: he hit the wrong person. Welp, he’s never gonna see his family again after that. And now for some good music. HUNTER x HUNTER Say what you will, I still think Killua’s armbands look attractive. Oh, the title card came right after the OP finished, that’s new. Fuck yeah, internet cafés! Neat, the website’s modeled after an old-timey saloon, complete with cowboys! With the power of Nen, you can actually go into the computer! I wonder if that’s how Sand Whale and Me’s supposed to work… On other topics, that bartender sounds awfully familiar. Hmm, that game definitely sounds like a challenge, and awfully familiar for some reason… Holographic liquor… MY FAVORITE! Level G sounds pretty low, even for a rare game such as that. He brought another laptop over just to share the booth with Gon. I swear, Killua is totally gay for him. :-D So I take it they’re feeling they got gypped? Hmmm. And so the Kurta eyes remain uncollected. Hmm, that seems like a simple enough mission for a couple of bodyguards. Kurapika has an earring? How did I never notice that until now? Fuh-reaky. Turns out the Boss was a cute girl all along! :3 I understand the whole “Major tries to get revenge on those trying to use her like a tool” thing, but how does Section 9 play into this? Wow, that city looks bombed-out to all hell. What’s the deal with that woman’s nose? I like the mummy boxer dude. PATRICK SEITZ HAS ARRIVED! That glasses girl is cute and I would waifu her were Baise not already holding that position in regards to this show. The Boss’s oversized shoe-slippers look very comfy. Check it out, that blue penguin thing from YYH is on her cellular phone! So cute. owo And then she was Ghostwriter. Both of their theories sound very reasonable, if you ask me. Meanwhile, more Phantom Troupe members! One of which is Haystack Calhoun with freakishly long Buddhist earlobes, apparently. That creepy dude with the black hair sounds like he’s voiced by Todd Haberkorn. Of course those two would be rivals. Oh hey, are they playing Old Maid? REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “Does that fortune say somebody's gonna fuck their brother?” I don’t know where that even came from, but hey, if you’re gonna go SAO, you might as well go all the way. That must be the Big Boss. HISOKA HAS ARRIVED. Oh man, now that’s what I call a heist! And, naturally, there’s going to be murder involved. Of course the Kurta eyes would be on that list. That’s a lotta new cast members, all of which I recognize. Been a while since Beau Billingslea’s been in anything. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN A random flashback to the first episode? Sure, why not? Huh, never realized that one girl was voiced by Stephanie Sheh. Okay, that “seeing into a room through a painting” jutsu is pretty neat. In which Naruto’s emotions once again get the better of him. “Well… Don’t I feel foolish.” Wait, so was the jutsu put in her back before or after her grandfather kicked the bucket? Sakura has no idea what’s going on. That bat randomly turned into a scroll. Sure, why not? Huh, now that I see it, Hotaru actually does have a nice rack. “Get a hold of yourself.” Wait, what happened to Sai? I assume Shiranami is that guy hiding in the bushes. You have Sakura, sure, but Jiraiya? Hoo boy… [wipes forehead] MUSIC VIDEO OF THE MOMENT: Oh hey, it’s a more feel-good sequel to that one video from a while back. That’s pretty nice. Wow, what happened to the perspective just there? Wow again, I’m actually starting to feel that there’s nothing worth talking about in this filler. “Why are you sitting there in the road.” “Uh… exhaustion?” Thank you, old farmer man. Oh, there’s Sai. HOLY SHIT A DEMON DOG. It’s pronounced N-C-Double-A, you idiots. ONE PIECE TOP BILLING: Rina, whoever that is. Nami wins for the canon characters, thankfully. [insert emoticon with hearts for eyes here] Also, this episode was apparently recorded before Scott Freeman’s arrest. Huh, no regular exposition intro this time. Then again, it’s a beach episode, so who needs it? Nami’s bikini is the best so far. Oh Usopp, you scaredy-cat. This place has so many different accommodations, it’s impressive. Aaaaaaand somewhat suspicious too. This has to be the first time I’ve ever heard of a “cola bath”. It’s taking Luffy all of his willpower to not eat the entire food stand right now. Oh, so this is the island that’s said to rain candy. For some reason, this guy’s special One Piece laugh is making me feel uneasy. S: You could use that much money to buy a copy of Greed Is-wait wrong show. I don’t know what I like more: Chopper’s arm-floaties or Luffy having two innertubes. Apparently they’re partaking in some type of soap racing. I assume that little girl is “Rina”. And it was on that day that Luffy learned that there is such a thing as having too full a mouth of food. FUCK YEAH WATERSLIDES! Don’t be rude, filler loli. Now that’s a raccoon dog. [poof] And now he’s a penguin. [facepalms] And even she has no idea what a reindeer looks like. Hee, even Chopper’s aware of the hypocrisy. Here, have some friendship meat. Hey, when it comes to pirates on their downtime, it doesn’t get any sillier than the Straw Hats. Rina’s sister will just settle for sandwiches, TYVM. Sanji’s Boner Status: AT FULL MAST. And now the status has transferred over to the furries. Hey, a miniature Nami’s better than no Nami at all. Who else thought that by “too small”, he meant the breasts? THAT LAUGH. I can hear Angel’s screams of anguish from here. Oh well, at least Porche looks hot. <3 Yeah, Second Gear could kick the Slow-Slow Beam’s sorry ass. Oh god that ugly head looks like it came out of the 80s. Always leave it to Foxy to cheat his way to victory. IIIIIII HAAAAAAATE THAAAAAAAAT BEEEEEEEEEAM. Okay, that is definitely not good. By the way, here’s a reminder that Franky and Brook have never met the Foxy Pirates, so this is their first time laying witness to… THE DREADEDNESS. ::: Thank god for Devil Fruit powers. TEAM FOXY’S BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAAAAAIN~! [splash] Oh good, a child safety commercial that doesn’t need to kill kids to make a point. LEARN FROM THIS, NATIONWIDE. Meanwhile, Zoro got lost again. I assume Usopp’s filling Franky and Brook in on the events of the Davy Back Fight arc, plus their little encounter with Foxy before they ran into Aokiji. Ooh, scientific equations. Random Robin arm. I wouldn’t say those sorts of things, cursing fathers usually lead to their disappearances later on in life. The fuck is that man’s voice. I guess he really was a moron after all. Like I said, disappearances. Random one-way transponder snail. Okay, maybe not-so-random. Filler or not, the Straw Hats are always up for helping those in need who need it. Fuck you, conveniently placed trap door. I knew I couldn’t trust that guy! Even before that custom laugh, I felt his glasses reminded me too much of a Foxy pirate. He probably isn’t affiliated, but I’m interested in knowing just what his affiliation is. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX Of everything that happened this episode – from Batou randomly barking and the porn movie playing on that one yakuza’s laptop, to the Major’s lesbian slumber party and that anime sex doll Nanao used to troll Section 9 – my favorite part will always be Borma walking in with those random pizzas. The Laughing Man hijacking the morning news was fun, too. Huh, so they’re finally releasing that CHiPS movie. If only Moltar was still alive to see it in action… [may the power of ponch compel you]

Oh boy, Zeni's being contrarian again... ::]:: Gyaos[/member] That's not how you spell Yui. [daddy]
