Fire Force S2 Debuts October 24th on Toonami
HardcoreHunter replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
They had the disclaimer for mature subject matter, there were social media posts from staff talking about how heavy the content was and why it couldn't be cut because it was important to Eugeo, Then they edited it. I have a funimation sub, no issues for me to just watch it uncut on there if I needed to see a shitty bra. Just a lot of blowing smoke though for damn near nothing then pretending that they weren't to blame. -

Where do we stand on these phone subscriptions?
HardcoreHunter replied to Poof's topic in Free-For-All
I bought an s7 it's close to 5 years, so like $120 a year. I'm probably going to replace it this black friday. The battery for it is nearing death. I'm going to try and replace the battery myself since it's not too expensive when I have another phone. Either use it as a media player, or set it up with google voice to be a home phone since google voice is free. If it weren't for the s7 losing it's water proofing after changing the battery I'd be fine though with keeping it as my main phone. I've dropped this fucker over a dozen times in water since I've had it. The only other alt I can think of is buying a full waterproof case, but I don't feel like spending another $60 ontop of buying a battery. -

It's played up worse than it is for the joke. Though it feels like the past five years he's really been shitting the bed on premier content that isn't already universally praised before they get it. So pretty much what i said, except without the asshole overtones lol. IDK about this series though. I stand by a lot of what I said about how it's going to alienate the mass majority. It'll probably get good reviews from anime critics for being different. "finally a breath of fresh air in this stagnation". Like ANN was giving B/B+ on the last junji ito mainly just because it's junji ito's story It had about as many C grades as well but the best episode of that whole series should have never made it higher than a C- and that is being generous for how horribly done they were. Really I feel that the funds would be better used getting other dubs than an experimental adaptation. I like junji ito, but other than a passion project I don't see to what end DeMarco wanted to do this. It's a very expensive way to fill a slot that is going to alienate the casual viewer. At this point contracts are already made. It's more than likely that it would be more expensive to break them than it would be to finish the deal. Disney did the same thing with Star Wars Clone Wars when they bought the right and let CN wrap up "their final season". -
Backstory time and we start with the Comics Code Authority. This was put in place during the moral panic in the 50s of comics corrupting the minds of the youth. Horror comics like Tales form the Crypt, Vault of fear etc were the main targets, but it affected all comics. Batman could no longer use a gun like he did in his early comics, also he had to stop murdering people which was one of batmans favorite things to do in the early issues. He even killed the joker in their first issue together. That big penny that he keeps in his batcave that they say belonged to Two Face really was the Penny Plunderer's. PP only steals pennies which were worth more back then I guess, but he gets crushed by that giant penny when batman and twoface are fighting and destroy the supports. Either way batman is made into a bitchboy over the years. The Adam West Series furthers the dumbed down public image of comics being for young children. Jumping ship the president asks Stan Lee of Marvel to make an Anti-Drug comic using one of his characters. Stan is not one to turn down the president, so he does a story about the dangers of drugs and submits it to the CCA. The CCA tells him no, they will not give this smut their seal because drugs are against the CCA. Stan tells them that it's anti-drugs it's telling kids the dangers of doing drugs. No it doesn't matter we have our rules in black and white no drugs. So Stan says fuck it this story needs to be read and is the first person to publish a comic without the CCA since it started. Nothing happened...No shops refused to sell his comic, no riots, no fines. They discovered that the CCA was simply an honers system with no real authority despite their name. Despite this Stan and others the continued following the CCA submissions gudelines for years after. As to how irrelevant the CCA was; they actually survived up till 2011. Back to batman.Frank Miller hated how watered down his favorite cape shit had become; especially how he said that it made batman and robin look like gay lovers that shared the same bed. So Miller says fuck it I'm making a comic as if batman just retired and those years he spent sharing a bed with the boy wonder and adam west never happened. He was retired and now he's back and pissed like a father coming home from a hard day of work and seeing his kids didn't save him the big piece of chicken. The reason why robin had to be a girl was entirely to make the duo less gay. The creeper implications of a 55 year old mountain of a man and his young female ward raise other flags but maybe they were going for a father daughter thing. At least they slept in separate beds....Millers other inspiration was Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. The comic was more a middle finger to the CCA and all Batman comics that bent knee to them. So he made this overly aggressive batman macho; out of brooding spite.

I expected them to edit SAO, but they had a disclaimer that night before the episode aired that it would be uncut. Then when they aired an edit, they said that they didn't cut it, it's the copy that funi sent them. Then funi said don't throw us under the bus you have the same shit we have on our stream. Then DeMarco was like "Oh the raised panel; yeah that's not a cut. I could see how you might think that, but I would only have considered it a cut if we went to commercial and came back after that scene, or cut it out completely". Just take the damn L and stop blaming the fans for being pissed off about you getting caught. agree Ehh, I mean it's probably more future building. If I were to compare DeMarco's business sense to anyone it would be Herbert Hoover. Hoover as you know was president during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. Everyone hated him, but he wasn't technically a bad president. He set up a lot of long term projects to employ people and make the country better off and more self sustaining in the long run. People though wanted an instant fix. Also he did trickle down economics which didn't work and pissed a lot of people off further. DeMarco is similar how I view it. He does an ass ton of unpopular shit that the general viewers don't like. Though it's in an effort to make the block sustainable in the future. I do hate his excuse though where he says "we can't find a good fit for x right now". This implies that they have the money to get x show that everyone has been asking him about usually a popular isekai which he keeps saying "I don't have anything against them, we just can't find a good fit at the moment". Overlord put it in, Konosuba put it in. There they fit, stop acting like you have a master plan for this crap, you had PPG, Dragonball, Pokemon, Hamtaro, and Zoids on the same block. I don't think ASA/Toonami has had a theme going for it's shows since the talking robot days of ASA and even that was spotty. Yeah the toonami doomers are annoying, thankfully we only have 1 member who consistently does that and 2 bandwagon ones. I think this but not in a meme way. He just seems like he's gotten really out of touch with things. The DeMarco defenders don't do him any favors either. The koolaid drinkers just get too pissy that their god king's decisions can be questioned as being anything but the most optimal choice. I mean remember when he had FLCL, Trigun, and Cowboy bebop on the block, how could anyone who had shows that filled my teenage years with such amazing content do anything that isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's like when Apple got rid of the headphone jack and there were a group of people sucking apples dick saying "yes it's for the best, we need to innovate, headphone jacks are so 19th century". Then others were like "WTF give me my headphone jack", which was met with toxic defender getting pissed and telling them to go to android with the other peasants if they don't like living in the future. Mine was more "wow that tweet sucked, why would he hype trash up like that". Then empress went all reeeee about it, like when her and toppy went reeeee that I didn't keep and post my email's to voice actors or funimation. Never did get a reaction or thank you from them for when I did though wonder what was up with that. Might have been too busy eating crow. Either way I was like eh maybe that angry frog is right. Maybe I should read more of his tweets than whatever is just getting posted here. So I did and it made him more depressing. Especially when he gave me a warning and removed some of my posts in a twitter ama that stipulated no bans. I started out ironic but now I'm pretty on board with him just being out of touch and gate keeping the block for shows that he likes. Agree as I do think he's doing what he thinks is best for the block. Though he's kinda his own worst obstacle. He does have a lot of things working against him, but he seems to favor taking the path of most resistance and doubling down. Like the last Junji ito anime didn't work well. It was animated poorly on a limited budget...Maybe we should try something else. I mean we don't have a good budget to begin with so we should use it wisely. Nope! Uzumaki time bitches! "We don't have the budget to do any better and the style already has shown that it doesn't transition to animation well!". Oh but what if we do the whole thing in black and white like the manga and have minimal movement lots of panning shots and mostly just have the background moving while the characters move like it's a fade transition stop motion animated picture book from the 60s! Not only will it be minimalist and cheap but my god think of how hipster cool that would be. No other anime have done it since that one scene in FLCL! "Dear god something that will only really appeal to the most artsy and manga snob weeb critic trash; and alienate the casuals that make up the majority of our viewing audience. This man is a Genius; neigh a god! Me'Lord we must hype the fuck out of this well in advance! Fuck using that money to get 2-4 already made shows for the block." No source for if that's how it went down, but my hunches have a far better record than the few users who post "source You just have to take my word for it" or think that trends don't exist and things aren't predictable even if they happen again and again. -

It's like people saying trump isn't a good leader when he's been the leader of companies for decades and a multi-billionaire. Everything he says is right and should never be questioned because he's been at it longer and is clearly more successful and 100% knows what he's doing is for the best. People complaining don't know what they're talking about. Where's their billion dollars, where's their country they preside over? You can't blame trump for how bad the country has been, have you forgotten about COVID and there's a coin shortage and riots. It boggles my mind how anyone could criticize him. That's pretty much how that reads. Do not question your betters you filthy peasant swine, only consume and when they offer more schlock just smile and say yes daddy please. You pretty much have to with DeMarco the guys skin is so paper thin. Was reading the reddit and he threatened to block someone for questioning the schedule and posting a poll from the reddit showing by majority what fans felt the best schedule would have been without changing the shows on the block. He also deletes tweets about his birthday, guy doesn't want anyone to know how old he is, because he's just a young college hipster bro looking for a rave at heart. Anytime people even bring up his birthday he just gets all moody about it. Even the wiki and IMDB won't say how old he is. DeMarco would be fine if he would go out of his comfort zone more and get shows that are popular; but he may not personally be a fan of. Though also I do sympathize that money is a huge factor. I don't really know if the dubbing companies have stepped up their prices, I should try asking him that in a general sense. In the covid era I think he is more doing what he can with what he has. I remember back when they aired Eureka 7 the contract they had with bandai was to plug the hell out of bandai toys/games. So we'd end up with ben 10 toy ads in the middle of the night. However E7 was also a show he liked so him jumping through hoops for it harks back to the other complaints of him just getting shows he likes. His social media posts being all hush for the secret awesome thing everyone will like was damn ballmasters. He built up hopes for ballmasterz. It's like hyping your kids up for Christmas then revealing you've converted the family to Jehovah's witnesses as the surprise. Would have been better just saying times are tough, we gotta tighten our belts if we want to stay afloat, please bare with us etc. He kinda did give that speech...after the fact when his twitter blew up with anti-ballmasterz outrage. He's like the Marie Antoinette of toonami. The peasants want content; well let them watch ballmasterz. -
From what I remember the tunic and colors were based off of a Robin Hood illustration. It's also why Robin used a staff because Robin Hood fought little john with a staff. The comics later said though that they were made out of his families old circus uniforms as he made his costume on the fly and tried to get revenge for his parents deaths before batman took him in.

Fussy yes, but he's on par with Brock in being a bad-ass. Also far more entertaining than Brock. Quips are better than Brocks grunts and shit 70s references. The only time Brock has been a fun character is when he had Hunter to play off of. The rest of the time he'll just say dumb shit like "Ehh, I'll pass" "panic room now!" "I don't know about this doc" "Eh Yeah". You can take those lines and soundboard like 80% of his dialogue. I know because I marathon VB last weekend.
