Yeah I was glad I never watched Lost or Battlestar Galactica, haha. With Lost, since I didn't watch it when it started, and it was obvious this wasn't one of those shows you could just jump into, and it wasn't so easy to catch up on shows back in those days, I never got around to watching it. I had to catch up on Charmed by recording reruns. Not that I was super interested in Lost anyway, but when I heard how things turned out, I felt like a dodged a bullet lol. Hopefully the AoT author can avoid such a fate. He's pleasantly surprised me with most of the reveals and developments with Historia and the government, among other things. Let's hope whatever the thing is with the Titans isn't something stupid. Though, I remember reading somewhere a long time ago -

Episode 5 - Did the art style change for this flashback of the battle with Laughing Coffin? Or is just that Kirito and Asuna were younger here? Ah, so we FINALLY get to see what happened in the real world after Kirito got attacked by Johnny Black. But wait, what happened to Johnny Black? Surely Asuna called the cops? I don't think he was K.O.d by an umbrella to the leg. Maybe incapacitated? Even still... Suguha's mom and Kirito's aunt. Haven't seen her in forever lol. Good ole off screen anime parents! Kirito's actual parents? I thought they died in a car accident or something? Or am I thinking of someone else? I never thought Kikuoka seemed shady before. He seemed to be a good guy. But maybe I'm wrong. At the end of the episode, in that kimono, he looks an awful lot like Aizen in casual wear! Sylvain? Is that in ALO? I guess, since Sinon and Silica are catgirls. Still don't like Asuna with turquoise hair. Cool, that Google Glass whatever thingy, let's them see Yui. Did Kirito make this between seasons or something? For a minute there I thought we had an invisible building on our hands like in The Shadow! Well, it would be using holograms in this case, to cloak it, but still, haha. Shigemura, the guy that made Augma, I presume that's another Ordinal Scale tie-in. So, it's canon, to the anime, at least? And I think I read that Reki wrote the story for it? Still haven't gotten around to watching it. Just sayin', I'm pretty sure Kayaba and Rinko should be more prominent in this photo! "America California State" You could have subbed that better, Aniplex! So, Kayaba's girlfriend, the lady that took care of him while he was full-diving, and developed the Medicuboid Yuuki used, now works in the U.S., and Asuna is going to get ahold of her. Didn't expect we would meet her, but I guess it makes sense, with the bread crumbs that were laid in Mother's Rosario, that we would. I'm just glad she seems to be helping and doesn't seem to be a bad person, from what we can tell so far. So that's the Ocean Turtle... always be wary of shady operations on ocean platforms. Metal Gear Solid 2 and The Abyss come to mind. Ok, it was good intentions in The Abyss, but still... Okay yeah that's definitely Asuna in disguise... yep, lol. I didn't expect her to reveal herself right away, haha. So they're watching what's going on in Underworld... sick fucks. Got through their security like nothing. It's a good thing Yui isn't evil. KIKUOKA YOU FIEND! AAHHH YOU END IT THERE! ANOTHER EVIL CLIFFHANGER! I bet we're getting a mega reveal next time though, given the title of the next episode is Project Alicization.

Haha yeah Season 2 was like appetizer, or half an appetizer. We learned who a bunch of Titans were... though originally I didn't think they had humans in them, much less that they would be known characters. Once it was clear that Eren wasn't unique in his Titan Shifter ability, I assumed the Colossal and Armored Titans would be important people in whatever enemy faction might be behind the Titans, with the Colossal probably the leader, but they were just grunts and either didn't know much or didn't fork over much knowledge. It was like the cocktease when Annie turned herself into crystal, haha. Not the best way to follow up those reveals, perhaps. Ymir was also a Titan, but without feminine features, for whatever reason, and from a foreign country (how mysterious and interesting!) and wanted to bang Historia (like the rest of us)... but then left, lol. I never watched the new Battlestar Galactica, because I didn't like the old show, which I felt was like a cheesy, poor man's rip off of Star Wars, but from what I hear, tons of characters kept ending up to by Cylons LOL. YOU GET TO BE A TITAN AND YOU GET TO BE A TITAN, AND YOU GET TO BE A TITAN! Maybe they should have delayed Season 2 and put it with Season 3, but I guess they didn't want to make people wait forever. They're already having to split and delay part of season 3. WIT, get your shit together!

Fair enough, lol. I enjoyed it for what it was, but I'm a big fan of 17. The alien poacher battle probably wouldn't be necessary, though, except I guess to get 17 to join the team, but they could have just had him say yes this episode. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. However, I do find it baffling and silly that filler is being put in a series not adapted from manga! And don't tell me they are having a hard time writing Dragon Ball so they need it to buy time while they come up with ideas for the battle royale!

Good stuff. Also, I was surprised to find out that Kenny's squad were actual military. I thought they were his own gang who got their hands on that gear. I mean it was specialized for killing people, but criminals didn't make/modify it! The government did!

You know, I've really warmed up to this show. I think I actually... like it now? Maybe? A little? I didn't care for Attack on Titan much at all when it first started. I think the hype and behavior of some fans didn't help matters. I usually not try to let that affect me, but ehh. But yeah, it was said how in this show that no one is safe, when there's an obvious group of characters who aren't going to die and others that are expendable. It's really easy to see, like that group Eren trained with that you just knew were going to die. And there was that Marco guy and some viewers were broken up about him dying? I'm not even sure who he was lol. The characters in general can be pretty thin and one note, as well. This show is really over-the-top and melodramatic, even for an anime. The constant flashbacks interrupting current events you really want to see what happens next with, and how the pacing could be, was annoying, not to mention the constant losses and setbacks for the protagonists. And being right at the edge of learning new information only to be stopped short. That said, even when I didn't like the show much, I still found the world and the things made for it creative and interesting, and wanted to know what would happen next. The characters have been better developed over time, even if they are still a little one-note, and while there's some I could give two shits about, there's others I find myself liking and caring more about. For example, Christa/Historia wasn't much of a character at first, just that nice cute girl, but she's been a developed a lot since those early days and I never would have expected her to turn out this way or be this important. Now I love her! Probably doesn't hurt that she's Rukia size. Still easy to see who is going to die though! The action, designs, art, and animation were always good. I have to give the author credit for this coup storyline. With many series I would expect that to drag on obnoxiously forever, maybe even be one of the end game things. And those earlier setbacks and losses were definitely building up to the victories and real progress being made now. I've also been pleasantly surprised with the number of reveals that have happened. Now we just have to find out what the deal is with the Titans themselves and what faction might be behind them. Should be interesting!

Haha yes the time from last week when she takes the stuff Eren was carrying.

To be fair, Hot Topic used to have a lot of non-goth/emo stuff, like anime shirts and related paraphernalia. I have no idea what it's like now. Well, I do remember I almost bought a Brock Lesnar shirt from them a couple years ago, since WWE wasn't selling it themselves anymore. The Suplex City Limits: Dallas one, not where I live, but Texas, so close enough!

Too much extra!

Congrats. Why couldn't Kishimoto come up with a better animal for Naruto than a toad? He looks silly with toad eyes, not badass. No one is scared of toads!

Hmm, well, it's not a stretch... ...especially when Eren is involved.

That whole thing is hilarious! The descriptions for all the characters! Queen Bee! Hmm, a lot of jocks and the queen bee and her friends are often also preppies though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK?!

A full-on remake would be great but I doubt it would happen. Since the showrunner promised to finish InuYasha one day, that's why he had to keep his promise and eventually make Final Act. Since he didn't say it what capacity he would finish it, we got that rush job that was Final Act. But if it did happen, yeah, you gotta bring back that score. Final Act didn't have enough, if any, new music though. Some new characters, like Byakuya of the Dreams, deserved themes. But again, they got by with doing the least they could. It doesn't seem like Sunrise would be too interested in making any more InuYasha and was happy to be done with it. I highly doubt that. Naraku is dead and the Sacred Jewel destroyed, and peace is seemingly brought to the Feudal Era, at least in terms of human vs demon conflicts. Miroku and Sango had three kids, but Inuyasha and Kagome didn't thave any... yet.

What was so bad about it?! We got to see 17! Also, yay for conservation!

Hmm, maybe... Mother I'd Loathe to Fuck. As for chubby, she's gone way past that, to straight up fat!

LOVED Monster. Was so annoyed Viz didn't release the whole series. I would have bought it. Monster probably technically isn't an action show, but since Toonami isn't adhering to that rule anymore, maybe it has a shot. A longshot at that, though, probably.

Black Clover Page 46 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, after Luck and Magna's combined attack left the Eye of the Midnight Sun's beastman seemingly unscathed, Asta and his former opponent jumped into the fray. Their attacks also left the beastman wanting for WORTHY COMPETITION. And the Beastman knew what Asta's swords were and what they were called? At the last minute, Noelle and Kahono showed up. Will they succeed where the other heroes failed?

Didn't have a computer at home until '02 or '03, so never played Wing Commander. D:

I think maybe the thread title doesn't help with that, or may be better to make separate threads for things. But yeah I googled and couldn't find the links. Couldn't remember where we or I talked about it.

Wasn't there some issue with episodes being unfinished and rushed out with the first season? They need to get their shit together!

Wow, you know a show is bad when CaptainStarwind and Al are that critical of it. Maybe it's good for a trainwreck/riff watch, like we do with Shittuden? It sounds like Toonami needs to get Gridman indeed though...

Gross. And you're using that term incorrectly.

This has got to be some of the most sloppy-ass programming I've ever seen. It reeks of ASA's schedule monkeys. Has Demarco lost his mind just when we thought he was finally sane again? https://www.denofgeek.com/us/culture/attack-on-titan/265790/attack-on-titan-season-3-release-date-trailer-episode-guide-news I just read the release date info and avoided the trailer and other spoily stuff. So, I thought I vaguely remembered hearing that Attack on Titan Season 3 was going to be split. But I don't think they told us this upfront did they? And six months?! Why not just call it season 4 at that point?!

That's what I mean. And isn't Macy's barely in business now?
