Dragon Ball Super Episode 3 Discussion

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Otokotsuki was from GT, right? -
Hence why it wasn't surprising at all when Hoods Entertainment was commissioned to animate the adaptation.

Trunks Thread 19.1: A New New Frontier
PokeNirvash replied to PokeNirvash's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Having gone through a decent amount of trouble to come this far, Joseph Joestar is finally face to face with Santana Sanviento the Pillar Man. As steel-faced and uninterested as he may appear, this foe is a remarkable one, dangerous enough to scare even the German military who brought him back into the world. Will Joseph be able to find a way through Sanviento's strange abilities as a lifeform beyond human, and on top of that come out victorious? Smart money says no, but stranger things have happened. In other happenings, the God of Destruction Beerus and his attendant Whis travel across the universe in search of the Super Saiyan God from the former's dreams, I have no idea what's going on in Kai because the Wikipedia descriptions are handled by literal monkeys, Side 4 finds themselves involved in the surprise confrontation between the Sleeves and Londo Bell, the Heaven's Arena arc nears its close as Gon and Hisoka finally have their fated match, Sasuke's new goal of destroying the Leaf Village is sidetracked by a request from Madara to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the Land of Lightning, the Straw Hats have to deal with Tyrant Kuma and his Devil Fruit powers before they can properly celebrate defeating Moria, and Saitama faces off with the denominator of the universe himself, Lord Boros. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #3 - Where Does the Dream Pick Up?

So... bad news is they were engineers, sorta good news it was only 17 of them instead of the 90% 4chan exaggerated them to be. -
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING ON NICKELODEON RIGHT NOW?!

This sounds made up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was legit. -
That we do, StarPanda. That we do. Episode 29: Little Sisters Can't Fall in Love With Their Older Brothers! Well now. The thumbnails I've seen across the web should have clued me into this, but I did not expect the televised finale of Oreimo to pull another Whole Episode Flashback on me, let alone pulling one off that put everything in the series thus far into perspective. Being one about the young Kousaka siblings, it's only natural that it would. For starters, we get into a glimpse of Kyosuke and Kirino's relationship before the series even began, back when they were kids. The easiest thing that can be said about it is also the most jarring thing about it. Back then, Kyosuke and Kirino were on very good terms, to the point where Kirino even looked up to Kyosuke as a role model. He was smart, he provided help whenever she needed it, he did amazing things like win elementary school track meets that impressed her greatly, and he even inspired her to follow in his footsteps, but more on that later. And even though he tried to act more mature by trying to get Kirino off his back, Kyosuke more often than not let her tag along whenever he did things. As good as their relationship then is shown to be, it's kind of interesting to wonder when exactly Kirino's present dislike/tolerance of Kyosuke sparked. Believe me, there were a lot of false flags. Kyosuke telling her not to follow him to certain places, them accidentally bumping into one another in the hallway one day, and even one time at Manami's house when Kirino's program finished and she got bored just sitting around while Kyosuke helped Manami out with her studies. Even with all those missteps, they did nothing to change the admiration Kirino had for Kyosuke. However, that all changed one day, when Kyosuke out-of-nowhere challenged Kirino to a race to his preferred location of play for the day. Being a fast kid, Kyosuke managed to get ahead easily, leaving Kirino behind. As a result, she was lost, unable to find Kyosuke, and caught up in the rain. It was only after he found her hours later that her opinions changed. Not into disdain, though, but into determination. Determination to show him how she felt when he inadvertently left her behind and become faster than he was. Thus began her interest and skills in running track. As good as she got there, it eventually proved pointless to impress Kyosuke with it, as his middle school life brought on a period of peace for him. (Clearly the most unrealistic part of the series outside of CLOSE THE FUCKING LAPTOP NEXT TIME.) With his life as perfect as could be, Kyosuke eventually stopped trying and became sluggish and lazy, doing only what he could to retain his peace. This discrepancy between the Kyosuke Kirino admired then and the Kyosuke before Kirino now shook her up with disbelief that this... person was the same amazing brother she idolized, and that the hard work she put into preparing to brag about being better than him was all for naught. Assuming his increasing hanging out with Manami brought this on, Kirino ran over to her place to demand that she bring back the Kyosuke she took from him. And, in quite possibly the first bitch move we've ever seen from Manami (outside of tattling on Kyosuke's dating sim-playing habits to Ayase), she tells Kirino, in that same sweet voice she's always had, that the "amazing" Kyosuke never existed, and that Kirino was acting creepy for obviously having a crush on her older brother. Heartbroken, that point in time finally brought on Kirino's change from Kyosuke's #1 fan to someone who barely even acknowledged his existence. As pissed as she was, though, Kirino still strived to become amazing enough to try and bring back the "amazing" Kyosuke herself, improving in her track skills and taking up a modeling career thanks to a somewhat egocentric illustration Kyosuke did of himself for their elementary school's culture festival programs. Small aside, Kirino actually met Ayase during one of her first modeling shoots, the latter having gotten into it at her mother's behest. But as great as she was at grades and sports and looking good in fashion, it wasn't enough to satisfy Kirino's want for Kyosuke admitting she was the better sibling. And that's where the eroge came in. A magazine advertising the Imouto Maker eroge caught Kirino's eye and, away from the prying eyes of her peers but within range of several regular shoppers disturbed by her poorly disguised enthusiasm (), Kirino bought the magazine, plus a bunch of other otaku goods, to help sate her want for cute things. And then she actually got the Imouto Maker eroge, which she played to her heart's content. Even though she enjoyed the more erotic parts of the game, what did it for her beyond that was the self-projection of being a little sister appreciated by an older brother who think's she's the greatest. Kirino may have accepted the fact that Kyosuke isn't the cool older brother she thought of him as when she was a child, but their increasing closeness following his discovery of her otaku side brought her to face the facts: as average as he may be now, he's still her brother. His quoting his younger self in approval of Kirino's latest request for advice, fresh after his return from moving out of his apartment and turning down Ayase, proves just as much. I don't know exactly what it is that makes me enjoy certain more anime more than average opinion says I should, but never before has it really come as close to home as it has with Oreimo. It could be CSW having told me it sucked in the past, it could be the fact that I have a sister who I see a little bit of in Kirino's attitude, but whatever the case, I've enjoyed myself more often than not in watching this show, and this episode really brought my enjoyment levels to highs unseen since season 2 episode 2 (still my favorite). We learned why Kirino disliked Kyosuke, why she hates Manami, and how she got into eroge, along so many other tidbits of information that neatly fit together to form a picture that not only brings sense to Oreimo, but rewards those who actually liked the show. As a critic, I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10 - it had nothing exceptional that is expected out of most masterpieces, and the seemingly permanent blush on all the female characters gets distracting once it's pointed out - but as myself, as one who likes Oreimo, I give "Little Sisters Can't Fall in Love With Their Older Brothers!" a 10/10. Alright, so we have three episodes left, which are by far going to be the toughest. If what I heard about them is right, they are not going to be pretty. But then again, it does have a lot of moments I knew about coming in. The incestuous wedding day kiss, the crying Kirino in the snow "reminder", the gut-punch from Manami of all people... As bad as it may be, I'm sure I'll enjoy it regardless. STRAY OBSERVATION: On the makeshift schedule I use to record the ratings given by me/some S&P board for the anime I watch, plan to watch, or know the ratings of, this episode comes after episode 5 of Kuromukuro on the specific iteration. I thought that was neat because that Kuromukuro episode featured a clip from a fictional anime the U.N. High School history club showed Kennosuke, featuring a giant robot modeled after Nobunaga Oda fighting evil samurai lords in the Sengoku Period, and there was your standard moe anime girl acting as the Johnny Sokko to the giant robot, which is the kind of thing I'm sure Kirino would like. RATED: TV-14 WHY? A discrepancy of content between the two acts. The first act was harmless, save for some innocent childhood nudity. The second brought on a lot, though. The biggest, of course, being the eroge and Kirino's love of it. We also had Kirino dropping some profanities, such as "dammit" and calling Manami a "glasses-wearing bitch", Manami pointing out Kirino's apparent crush on Kyosuke as creepy, and some brief nudity in the eroge mag Kirino picks out. A little much for a PG with subratings, but just wrong-feeling in regards to giving it a 14 with subratings. So, 14 straight it is. SCREENCAPS: For act 1, young Kirino being a crybaby, and for act 2, Kyosuke making sure she's alright.

How can you think J. Michael Tatum as Okabe is a miscast? It's because his brand of "cuh-ray-zee" couldn't live up to Mamoru Miyano's, isn't it?

That's pretty much my view of it too. When you introduce the concept of time travel to your series, it's best to imagine it as a bad timeline if things get fucked over.

I saw your post in the ANN thread, that was much better said than everyone parroting "DEWEY WAS RIGHT".
