Top Gun

What.

Why does it matter? It's at the end of the block and they have nothing else to throw on there.

So I guess my paying the extra $10 per month wasn't a sound investment.

Funny, I remember Superman fighting Nazis, not becoming one.

Just got the email from Xfinity here. Guess I'm getting bones out of $10 a month. Fuck you too Zaslav.

That IGPX run was so weird because they just...stopped. We've had plenty of back-end slots since where they could have run season 2, but nothing.

Why am I not surprised, they're basically a third world country.

Only three months in two years, what the fuck?

Yeah, that's right. There was a break in the dub production for a year or two, and I think they put out Episode of Sabo soon after they resumed as a way to drum up hype for the big arcs they'd be dubbing in the future. Fortunately McGropey was already out of the picture before they hit Dressrosa proper and we got the big upgrade to JYB. Fun fact: his original Japanese actor, Toru Furuya, was also involved in an awful sex scandal and stepped down from the role. If I had a nickel for every time etc. Morgan Garrett is credited as young Sabo's voice. Yeah, I was surprised to see that, I didn't remember that we saw his power way before he was actually introduced.

I mean this immediately falls apart because Ichigo got his zanpakuto from the moment Rukia first made him a substitute Soul Reaper, and we just saw tonight that Kenpachi already had one as a little kid. Haven't they been implying all along that zanpakuto are the physical manifestations of a Soul Reaper's powers?

I wonder if this could be a positive in that these shows may find a home on streaming services that have a much bigger audience than Max.

He really is the most pathetic cumstain currently walking the face of the earth.

Yeah, I was gonna say, has there ever been any anime produced that could actually take advantage of that format?

So are we all done playing with him yet?

Yeah, unfortunately you can't diagnose CTE while someone is still alive, but in any sane world mental health issues would be an immediate response flag against having access to firearms. Lucky for us we live here instead.

When you accidentally catch a bit of your cheek when chewing and OH GOD WHY.

Scott McNeil looks as badass as I hoped he would.

Sadly I don't think I've ever encountered any of his work.

I've been continuously watching this show since 2007-ish. Alabasta is definitely early on as far as I'm concerned. Like I said, it's a big world and the Revolutionary Army isn't a massive group. They can affect individual nations with their actions, but they can't fight all over the world at once. We didn't see them in action early in the series because the Straw Hats never visited any islands where they were active. That's how Oda handles things for most bigger ongoing story elements: he sneaks in a few peeks at them earlier on, then elaborates on them more in depth much later. The first glimpse we got of the revolutionaries was Dragon in Loguetown (though the audience had no idea what to make of him), then at some point the army got introduced as a broader concept, then here in Dressrosa we got to spend extended time with their members, and then...other stuff happens later. Speaking of, Oda stuck in a fun clue about Sabo being alive before he showed up in Dressrosa. I don't remember if it made the anime, but one of the manga cover pages showed Whitebeard and Ace's graves with three sake cups placed in front of the latter, and there's only one person who could have done that.

Yeah I was sitting there last night thinking "Damn, we are popping right now." Complete 180 from the first few months of the year.

Remember that the One Piece world mostly consists of isolated islands separated by very large and very dangerous swaths of ocean, so it's a long and difficult trip between them. The Revolutionary Army would be more properly classed as a guerrilla group. They gather intel on and attempt to sabotage shady World Government activities, and they provide assistance to nations that try to rebel against the powers that be. They're a thorn in the World Government's side, but at least at this point hey don't have the manpower to pose a legitimate threat to its overall control. They get introduced fairly early on in the series (I have zero memory as to exactly when), but I think this was the first extended glimpse we got of how they operate.

Not to defend Packard here (*throws up in mouth a bit*), but that series is an absurdist dark comedy that doesn't take that premise remotely seriously. It's just a vague background excuse for the protagonist to be repeatedly violently murdered and resurrected.

They're gonna fuck him like he fucked underage girls.

Wow, he quoted the video like a big boy!
