Top Gun

...you still don't get it. There was no magical heaven-sent acquisition waiting in the wings that Bebop replaced. There was no "might-have-been." Toonami wanted to renew Bebop, a show that has been associated with [as] since its inception, a show that casual audiences have always associated with Cartoon Network, and thus they did. There is no universe in which they didn't renew the series for comparatively little cost. (The same absolutely holds true for Outlaw Star.) If they hadn't been able to do so for that cost, they simply would have shoved some other rerun back at the end of the block, just as Ghost in the Shell is now. You have absolutely zero evidence for any of your assertions. People want to watch Bebop again. I am people. Other people in this folder are people. You don't speak for anyone but yourself, and your bizarre twisted little vendettas don't apply to anyone but yourself. If you manage to get sick of something without even watching it, then frankly, you have issues. Either get over them or shut up about them. The block getting cut in half had nothing to do with Bebop reruns being shown at its ass-end. Quit fabricating blame out of nothing.

Your cirrhosis says otherwise.

Akame had just about the worst writing I've seen in any work of fiction. The fact that people were actually paid to make it is staggeringly depressing.

It's true that the original SAO web-novel was written around the same time, but no one knew about it and it fucking sucked, so that's of no consequence. (TWO YEARS' WORTH OF SEMEN)

If you watched it enough to make it wear out its welcome, that's on you. I haven't sat through it in 3 or 4 years, and I'm loving every second of this run.

Not in the least. And yeah, I'm kind of curious as to why Jman feels the need to codify a decade's worth of his shit-posting.

Um, wat.

None of those are remotely "ecchi" shows. The odd pair of big tits or throwaway creepy old man in a completely action-adventure series doesn't magically change the genre. (And harems in One Piece? Where are you seeing that?)

It already has an anime adaptation and a game in the works and made it onto broadcast TV. It's not exactly failing at life here.

Because your average anime fan has abysmal fucking taste?

They weren't going to get anything else magical besides Bebop. If you don't want to watch the show anymore, then don't watch the fucking show. Other people do want to watch it again, and they are. This block does not revolve around your personal wants, thank Christ.

Exploriens, Blacktron, Ice Planet...I loved all those space Lego themes. Plus the bigass pirate ship buried in mounds of dust on the shelf above my bed. I just bought my first Lego in 15 years, the Ideas Saturn V rocket set. Goddamn thing is a solid meter tall.

git gud n00b

Save-scumming man.

We had that too...and the scorpion...and probably one or two others. Shit, apparently we were obsessed.

@Phillies Oh man, I forgot about the mountain! We had both of those.

Yes, I'm saying that said model was fuckawful, and at least they're moving away from it.

The snake one kicked ass. We had another one that like this big lava monster dude with a claw hand.

That Sun/Moon look is still fuckawful.

Oh shit, Pirates of Dark Water.

Holy shit so did I! My dad said he had to look goddamn everywhere for it that Christmas because it was completely sold out. I'm just pissed at myself for chucking all of my old Ninja Turtles figures ages ago. We even had the van.

What a cuck.

Those days are traditionally days when people are doing things with family/friends. Even if they're back at home at that time, they're probably not going to give a shit about watching shows. Or have you never noticed that even major networks suspend show premieres until after the new year?

Yes playing marathons of a particular show on weekends when just about no one is around to watch is totally a horrible thing.

Having multiple quotes in one post makes for a far more readable thread than seeing one person spew out a bunch of separate one-liner posts in a row. That was fucking obnoxious even back on Lithium.
