The correct answer is "Finally enable list displays in English instead of fucking moonspeak."

Poke they're trying to fix the entire site. Of course they're goddamn busy. Honestly I'm good for right now myself. The only part of the site I use is my list, and that's back up. I could do with the history working too, but that's a minor inconvenience.

From everything I understand the last part of Bleach was a hilarious clusterfuck, so I genuinely want to see it animated and revel in the trainwreck.

He'll be having some fun.

Haa...I just tried that Anilist site because I was mildly curious as to what other options are available, and there's a big banner emblazoned across the bottom saying, "A modern browser is required to use this site." Really great sign when the assholes can't even properly detect a browser's feature set.

The list itself is back up, though half the site's functionality is still down.

Not really. No one uses forums in a sustained manner anymore except for old-school netizens.

What do YOU mean, you people?!

I don't think they were trying to make it look 2D in the first place anyway, at least not entirely. I don't think a lot of the explicitly crystalline shots of the characters would have worked nearly as well in a 2D style.

Yeah, but I suck balls at doing that. Seriously, I have well over 100 anime series on BD/DVD that I haven't so much as touched. The block actually makes me do shit.

"Do you find this difficult to understand?"

Not at all. Being presented with entire seasons of stuff piled up all at once is even more of a turn-off for me. The reason why I still enjoy watching the block and linear TV in general is that the once-a-week structure provides natural pacing. So long as I'm watching at least one episode per week, even if those episodes are piled up on my DVR, I know I'm at least keeping pace and not "falling behind" (and yes I realize that means nothing in the practical sense given that most of these shows have already finished, but it does the job mentally). (Have I mentioned how much I fucking hate the very concept of binging?)

Do people actually want to be locked into watching 52 weeks straight of block premieres, without any sort of breather? Is that really it? Because that sounds like a living hell to me.

Plenty of license-rescued series have been re-released with far worse dubs on them. At the very least it's adequate. FUNi's not going to spend any money doing a redub of an obscure late-90s sci-fi series that already has a dub in the first place.

Just watched it for the first time a couple of months ago, so yo. The dub for Crest was pretty raw, but I didn't mind it too much. The cast got substantially better at their roles by the time of Banner.

Kids today watch a shitload of anime, most of which at least looks good aesthetically, so maybe US animators collectively decided "fuck it we can't compete with that let's make goofy pudgy balloon people." (This is nothing against overly-stylized shows, there are any number of fantastic ones out there, many with great animation, but there has to be something else to back it up.)

It's another sign of you being a complete tool who has no goddamn idea how to program a television block.

Yes ben they were totally going to premiere a new series at 3:30 in the goddamn morning.

The only TV I had in my room growing up was this ancient little thing my parents used to have in their bedroom, complete with a single mono speaker, rabbit ears, and channel dials. I didn't have cable in my room at home (still don't), so I had to scrabble for the few broadcast channels it could pick up. It was hooked to an ancient mostly-dead VCR which was only really good for using the input ports to hook up my PS1. I didn't have my own computer until I left for college.

I'd feel much better about this if it was still Shingo Natsume at Madhouse. I think the new director has...worked on Shippuuden?

It sure as hell isn't 95%. I mean I know it happens, but I figured it'd be limited to jobs where that's a specific issue. Hell, I work around kids all day but I sure as hell don't need to. Pretty sure our union would never stand for it anyway.

The hell do you people all do that you're subject to drug testing?

The fact that the series is ready to go in Japan in no way implies it is also ready to go in the US. Dubbing may be in-progress but not completed. There are almost always delays in getting material for the series from Japan. Approval has to be granted for casting choices and translations. Why wait until both largely-independent seasons are finished if you already have one ready to go? And the anime industry is NOTORIOUS for not having shit done until the last minute. If a production is falling behind, as they often do, it's not uncommon for tapes of episodes to ne sent out to the Japanese broadcaster on the same day they're due to air. That Paranoia Agent episode was essentially a documentary. How the hell do you not know shit like this?

Ben do you have any evidence whatsoever that Alternative will even be ready to air as soon as Progressive finishes? No, you don't. You're just sperging. Per usual.

All I can think of:
