  1. All 2020 cons have been canceled so nothing con related will be soon. Still a lot of red tape and money for funimation just to have a feel good concert. With how the economy is I doubt funimation will be taking many risks for a few years till they rebuild their nest-egg. By then Hero too references will be about as timely as the Haruhi Dance. I really doubt they'll even bother buying panel space in 2021 for cons. Pretty much what happened with E3. Had it not been canceled this year the only one showing was going to be Microsoft, as Nintendo has switched to doing all of their press-releases online, and sony decided to do the same this year. Companies are realizing that convention presence is antiquated and just costs money. It's like name the last time you saw an ad for a Hershey Bar. There are none because the product is so well known that they don't believe that advertising the product would increase sales enough to justify the expenditure. Funimation may have that same revelation now that wallets are getting tighter.
  2. I can see mine, can confirm it's weird.
  3. Probably more trouble than its worth. Funi would have to do a whole deal with whoever to get live stage rights for the song. Then they'd have to work out if it's the Japanese or English version of the song. If it's just going to be a recording or a live band, or if they're going to do like what they did with Miku and have those 3D screens put up, and have models of the characters. I have been to a couple of events with 3D screens and they are nearly impossible to get to work right unless the auditorium was built for a concert. Cons that are doing multiple stage shows usually won't get it right. What ends up happening is the screens aren't set up right, the audience isn't in the right position, or there are light issues. The one year my local con tried to set it up and it was horrible. The people who have trouble getting microphones and powerpoint to work for panels thought they could set up a 3D screen show.
  4. You've been saying Toonami is going to end every week for the last two years. Every time there is a scheduling change, or a show is moved back, or the block gets shortened.
  5. Nothing up on the wiki or MAL so not that I can find.
  6. I mean the name kinda sounds like something a crackhead that sells their body would come up with. Patent Clerk - So what do you call this? Crackhead - My Pillow! Clerk - Yes...It's yours, what's it called though. Crackhead - It's Mine! My Pillow! I~Its the only way I can sleep, ITS My Pillow! (scratches scabs on face) Clerk - I'll just put that down...
  7. The Tournament may have been as far as he'd have thought ahead with them. I believe some character were scrapped designs or alt early concepts for some of the main cast. I think it shows also that this may have been a really late call since the score board in the manga shows that 4 members of class B made the top 10 on the entrance exam. Shirozaki/grass girl jesus got 4th place, Kendo Got 5th place, Tetsutetsu got 8th place, and Awase got 10th.
  8. "okay, bye rukia" is pretty much nothing compared to the 24min tear jerk blush fest of a final episode of that arc Bleach head. I don't get how you think I'm wrong about most of the cast only being used in anime filler and not having much relevance in the manga. Hell the one twist they have with Nanao in the manga final arc, only made sense if you'd have watched the Zanpaktou Rebellion filler arc. Though all those female characters I listed do pretty much nothing in the manga, but have episodes worth of content in anime filler. The arguments you have is they did something minor like Unohana figuring out that Aizen was up to something, so it counts as them doing something. If that's the case then a bulk of the MHA girls have also done something. Kubo went out of his way to have a character appear. Their importance to the arc was negligible and it didn't really add anything. Also if MHA went on for as long as bleach and didn't do anything with the family cast of even minor importance till the final arc, I don't think I'd be praising the mangaka for it.
  9. What do you think I said? If you're right I'll be surprised, because from what I wrote all I confirmed is that he has a quirk which was established back in season 1.
  10. I'd assumed you'd read since you were posting articles comparing the manga and anime.
  11. Thats on you I worded it in terms of the manga and marked the spoiler. Also not a spoiler if you've watched the 2nd mha movie, since it's ahead of where the anime is. Though either way yes he does have a power.
  12. Ichigo and Rukia rarely interact in the manga. The anime fills out a lot of that. It does it for pretty much everyone. Though all the romance stuff hinted between ichigo and rukia is anime only. It's very plainly platonic friendship in the manga. Also that their interactions are few and far between after the SS arc. They interact a lot in the anime though. Lots of scenes of Rukia blushing that weren't in the manga, the whole goodbye scene that wasn't there, etc. Pretty much all the girls from the SS though don't do jack in the manga. They only stand out in anime filler arcs and scenes. Orihime really got shafted since her power went from mildly useful to the most broken thing in the universe to being never used. There was an omake about what the invisible girl looks like. Though as for the girls ever being relevant it's hard to tell. The last thing I heard from the mangaka was years ago, when they said that they planned on ending the series when Deku got his hero license because then he'd be a hero and there'd be no more story to tell. As we know full heroes have no stories to tell that's why comic books don't exist. However since then He's gotten his hero license, and there have been two movies made, so I guess he learned something from Toriyama in that Money talks.
  13. I think thicc momo makes more sense based on her quirk needing her to have more calories to use. Uraraka I am leaning more towards anime, but the manga one is also fine. Tsuyu and Ashido though I think the anime are better.
  14. I noticed that the dance moves they were taught vs what they were doing in the end were vastly different and makes no sense.
  15. In the manga they didn't. It was all anime filler. Just like all the RukiaxIchigo moments that are played up in the anime. In the manga the almost barely interact compared to the anime. Even with the filler most of the cast don't do jack shit. Soi-fon did next to nothing, Isane did nothing, Kitone did nothing, Tatsuki and the girls in Ichigo's class did nothing, Yachiru did nothing outside of omake filler, Unohana did nothing, Kukaku did nothing, etc. Characters would just show up only to be put on the sideline. The MHA girls have had some moments, but they're nearly all school moments when there is no real danger. Invisible girl so far is the only girl in the class who has done not a damn thing even in any of the school training arcs or tournaments.
  16. Depends on what you find more sexually attractive. Some people were upset because they liked the thicc. Horikoshi though said the anime made more sense which is pretty much why he had Uraraka train in hand to hand to tone her body in the manga, as after that point she has a closer appearance to her anime self. On the other hand though Midnight went from having a flesh suit to wearing burlap because of the anime. Her being the x rated hero and walking around in a flesh suit made far more sense than the hobo outfit they gave her. Also the missed opportunity of her originally being planned as the Class 1A homeroom teacher.
  17. Tape Guy would have more use if Aizawa couldn't do pretty much the same thing with a scarf. I think he was meant to pretty much be a spiderman knockoff, but like you said they've not utilized him. Sugar guy, Kangaroo tail, guy that talks with animals, and Mutant guy have been mostly useless. Sugar guy especially. The problem with having a strength based Quirk when it's horribly outclassed by Deku's strength based quirk. The problem with the girls is more that they have interesting quirks, but they're rarely being used. Bleach had a similar problem that MHA has with it's girl cast. In that you have a lot of characters with good abilities or characters, but choose to do nothing to develop upon them.
