Top Gun

I'll keep that box unchecked next time since I agree that it looks kind of wonky now, but at the end of the day I still don't see individual episode threads being any sort of real issue. It's 5 new threads a week in a folder that would probably only get 2 or 3 new threads per week otherwise.

I mean I have little to no interest in what episode threads have been over the past decade or so either, but if some people enjoy posting in them, then why bother them? It's not like they're doing any harm. And individual comedy episode threads didn't work because, from what I recall, they basically had a negative postcount.

Individual anime premiere threads have been a thing for as long as I was an ASMB member. It's very much a tradition at this point. I know Pat was asking about who was willing to move that stuff over, and I wouldn't mind doing it if given the authoritah.

I am very much an indoor cat. I've spent a few days at a stretch this summer not even setting a toe outside, and I barely even noticed.

Viz announced that they had the rights to it late last year. I can't imagine that this Disney+ deal supersedes that. It may even be a Japan-only streaming thing.

Can't say I ever had any sort of urge to do so. I don't even want to imagine the crew that works at the one place that's around here.

...Jesus. I have never felt shittier for people that were just trying to brutally murder the main characters moments earlier.

So, like, what are these assholes spending money on?

I'd occasionally buy stuff from FUNi's own store when they had big bundle deals during holiday sales and such. If they have the same deals there I'd buy there too.

Can they just...fucking not?

60% of the time, they work every time.

Not a bad idea to throw on a Made in Abyss rerun given that the second season is currently airing.

Isn't that what Mr. Lefty is for?

I think Toonami's best bet at this point is in reaching out to the Japanese production companies directly (or those companies reaching out to them), as was apparently the case with One Piece and probably Gundam. I'm sure for a lot of these companies there's still a prestige factor to getting your product to air on linear TV internationally, and [as] has long working relationships with some of them.

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS LIKE A TRUCK BRZRKRRRRRR!

Just for some context, I'm part of one or two 20+-year-old specialty forum communities that probably have a fraction of the userbase and content generation that this site does, and yet the people who host them wouldn't so much as think of shutting them down due to lack of traffic, because the people who are still there have been for many years and genuinely enjoy posting, and every once in a while another oldbie wanders back in to have some fun for a bit. I'm not trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do in the future, but I think there's a lot more to a site's worth than raw engagement numbers.

What sad-sack voters out there are still tossing The Simpsons a courtesy nom?

Someone give Shingo Natsume and his team all the money to animate more.
