Sony is apparently pursing a Hollywood Gantz adaptation
Top Gun replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
Huh, I had no idea. I don't think I've heard anyone mention it in a solid decade. -

People remember Gantz? -
Poke, I know you didn't mean anything negative by it, but maybe try to avoid putting opinions into other people's mouths in the future. My thoughts on series are my own, and I don't align them with anyone else's just for the sake of doing so. If I've had a lot of the same opinions over the years as someone else, maybe it's because we've both seen enough anime to recognize the massive writing and character development issues that most of the series you mentioned share. I don't think it's hard to see how multiple people would reach the same conclusions about them. And I have never once said anything about Food Wars implying that it's "great." What I've said is that it is utterly hilarious, because it commits so hard to its over-the-top nature and never once lets up, and it's a blast to watch because of that. It's a series that knows exactly what it wants to be and does it very well.

Tell me one thing Black Clover does that hasn't been done much better by at least a dozen other past shounen series. Give me more than two or three characters who aren't solely defined by one single hideously-annoying personality quirk that's repeated ad nauseam every single time they're on-screen. (Any time the Black Bulls are gathered together I want to murder everything.) Show me one example of the series trying to take itself seriously that hasn't been crippled by ham-fisted writing. About the only thing I'll give Black Clover is that its animation team has managed to produce some jaw-dropping set pieces during big climactic battles. But everything else is derivative paint-by-numbers mediocre shounen with an eminently-punchable cast. And what are you even on about Poke.

ANNCast was fantastic for a very long time. RIP Zac.

The US pays more than twice per capita for healthcare than the vast majority of western countries yet ranks somewhere in the high-teens to mid-20s in most tangible metrics of healthcare outcomes. Try again Jingo.

amazon versus rightstuff(whose better to buy manga from?)
Top Gun replied to CountFrylock's topic in Anime & Manga
I've been ordering from RightStuf for something like 13 years now. Their packaging is fantastic, and the few times I've had to deal with their customer service, I've been happy with the result. -
Jackson Public confirms Venture Brothers has been cancelled

Now I remember why I haven't had anything to do with [as] outside of Saturday nights for the better part of a decade. Because they fucking suck. -

I hate most kinds of socializing and even I'm starting to miss people.

I get your point, but at the same time there's a two-decade-old tradition of Toonami making videos about serious subjects which incorporate show clips. I don't think the intent is to belittle the severity of these issues by comparing them to the struggles of a cartoon character, but instead to say, "We air a lot of shows about people overcoming huge odds and fighting for what they believe in, but this is something real that requires you to actually fight for it."
