Why didn't Korin start farming the Senzu beans on an industrial scale? Or at least a lot more of them? -

Damn, beaten! Decided to go for Black Clover, eh? Well, no point in me finishing editing my thread, then. I'm tired as fuck as I ended up having to do more than I anticipated both last night and today, got no sleep last night. I'm hitting the hay and hopefully I'll be fully rested enough to last through Toonami tomorrow. -

But Demarco claims that Toonami is a boutique thing lululul. Oh yeah, Dragon Ball, Naruto, My Hero Academia, Black Clover, so fucking boutique. I mean maybe JoJo because that is weird shit and certainly they didn't have to get that. What else? Hellsing Ultimate, Black Lagoon, Parasyte, maybe Megalobox, Space Dandy which they actually funded, Deadman Wonderland. Other stuff like Casshern and Samurai 7 you could classify but they only got because that's all they could afford at the time. The Viewer Apathy Dynamo ORIGINAL TOONAMI ORIGINAL IGPX! Also the only one that was an original concept and not a sequel or adaptation to something else. =3 Hunter x Hunter - Only THE FINEST OF CONNUISOURS can truly perceive and appreciate this brilliant subversion of the shonen genre!

OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?! I'm on the autism spectrum, Asperger's always was. I still have a condition that fits those symptoms. I still have a thing. My brain didn't change because a fucking book got changed. So no, it is like fucking Pluto. I have had none of these problems, that I'm aware of. Issues with mood and anxiety, yes. Going from hyper and a mile a minute to tired and lethargic? Yes. In the past I had what felt like panic attacks, but could have just been extreme manic episodes. I did used to have depression. I don't even touch caffeine, by the way. It gets me way too amped up, it's like being manic. And I have great doctors. I can assure you I don't continue go to doctors I'm not comfortable with. Which is why I am currently going to the trouble of driving well out of town to see a new psychiatrist, after my old one retired, then my next one moved to California after I saw her one time, and this last one who was a nurse practitioner psychiatrist gave me improper instructions to take my medication. I may have also had a bad reaction to the increased Seroquel dose, or it could have been the Nexium. I got bad vertigo/dizziness, which hasn't happened to me before. I did stop taking Nexium and had that switched for something else as well. Apparently there are just not many psychiatrists, period, so they've been having a hard time replacing the ones who left at my clinic. They also would have to take on more patients, as my clinic serves the underserved. That appointment is also on New Year's Eve by the way, it's the only and closest one I could get.

My point was you may have linked to a video about movie I heard of, but the video you linked to is made by a fucking moron. So not sure how that's much better. As I said, I thought the argument could be followed despite whatever familiarity you may or may not have with Discovery and Burnham, but I guess I was giving you too much credit. See? I can be insulting too. And you HAVE linked to people I never heard of and made comparisons to things I've never heard of or never saw. For example, you think I ever saw Freezing or gave a shit about it? I see no sense in watching ecchi trash shows. Not when you have actual porn you can watch, or regular shows with actual plots, some even with some fan service of their own. And that was your example of "good" art?! The character designs look like crap, GXP tier, does nothing for me and shouldn't for anyone else, and that water is a cgi blob!

Sure it isn't. I'll be sure to tell my brain, psychiatrist, therapist, and the psychological community that. You obviously didn't even read the links. Hell you could have just googled it. https://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome Doctors used to think of Asperger's as a separate condition. But in 2013, the newest edition of the standard book that mental health experts use, called The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), changed how it's classified. Today, Asperger's syndrome is technically no longer a diagnosis on its own. It is now part of a broader category called autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This group of related mental health issues shares some symptoms. Even so, lots of people still use the term Asperger's. Yes, that totally means it's "not a thing anymore," in the same way Pluto stopped being a thing when it's classification changed. Jesus fucking christ. Logic and reasoning isn't affected by bipolar. It's mood and energy levels. You obviously don't know anything about that either, didn't read the link, and have never googled it. Plenty of people disagreed with you and reamed you in that other thread. Care to continue it here?

I thought that even if you hadn't seen the show or heard of the reviewer, you could still follow the argument? He explains everything about the show and character and why some people believe Burnham is a Mary Sue, and makes his argument against Mary Sues and then says no one is. It's a well made video. I mean, you've linked to people I've never heard of and I've watched those videos. You also linked to people I have heard of, and one of them was that anti-SJW fucktard Jeremy of Geeks & Gamers, and you seemed to think that was a good retort. I've seen Donnie Darko but it's been a while.

That's not the way I see it. The real Kayaba is dead. It's not the placed his "ghost" on the net like in Ghost in the Shell. It's not the actual him. That's just an AI copy. A fake. The real one is dead. Would you say a clone that was implanted with all your is memories you? No, it's a copy and always will be. There's only one you. Yes, there is A Kayaba out there, an AI one, A COPY, but not THE Kayaba. Umm that was building up to us learning more about Kayaba and the people who worked with him later on. It had nothing to do with bringing back Yuuki, and I've seen no one else, not when it aired, or up until now, make this assertion. Mostly people were complaining about Reki trying to redeem Japanese Bin Laden, and I agree with them there.

There's a prominent moment in one of the OPs for Grand Magic Games, it happens in the arc, plenty of other moments in that arc too, and in basically all the arcs the are Natsu x Lucy moments, even the early ones. Again, do you see him behaving exactly like that with any other characters? Umm Lisanna did not die when they were 8 and he had been around her that whole time. It's possible I am reading into things that aren't there, but I doubt it. In any case, if Natsu really is like that, then that just means Mashima decided to be more generic and follow the crowd with Fairy Tail, because Haru certainly was not like that. Rave Master was and still is better than Fairy Tail, anyway. It's a shame the whole thing didn't get animated. Fairy Tail is also a show that got accused of being generic and copying other shows. I don't wholly agree with that assessment, but if you do, you like it, and not Black Clover? And you want to talk about art and animation not being very strong?? Let's talk about the first Fairy Tail anime, lol.

Doesn't matter if you heard of them. It seems like you didn't even watch the video so why am I bothering here? I said that Trekspertise not only debunks Burnham as a Mary Sue but crushes the very concept of a Mary Sue. He even says "no one is." I wouldn't quite go that far, but I agree with quite a lot of what he said and I do feel it is an overused and abused term that has almost no meaning. Michael Burnham is woman, and the lead of Star Trek: Discovery, who was accused of being a Mary Sue by insecure manchildren and/or people who don't understand Star Trek. There is background and explanation to everything Kirito does, and it doesn't go beyond extremely talented people in the real world, even people I personally know. Well, you're coming off ignorant, very much so. I have bi-polar disorder. Bipolar disorder A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs. Learn more at https://g.co/kgs/hKYyv4 That relates to mood and not perception, and is being treated with medication. Though I do need it adjusted, as I had a uncontrolled manic episode several weeks back and will be seeing a psychiatrist soon for that, it again, relates to mood and energy levels. Unfortunately, there is no pill I can take for Asperger's, sorry. I may not even have OCD as I didn't see it on my patient paperwork. I'll ask about it next time. http://www.autism-society.org/what-is/aspergers-syndrome/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/aspergers-syndrome People with Asperger's have difficulty reading social cues and socializing, picking up on humor, sarcasm, though I have tried to improve on this and think I have over the years, I'll never be "normal." They get very engrossed in certain subjects and hobbies etc. By definition, someone with Asperger's must have average or above average intelligence. I'll remind you my IQ is 138. 120 is considered a genius. I've seen far more extreme traits listed than the ones given in that list. So no, it's not that I "don't get" what a Mary Sue is because of "my ailments." I simply don't agree that Kirito is one and I believe the term is overused and abused and that there are far fewer Mary Sues than all that are actually called out. You're the only one here who thinks Rey is, by the way. So you're the odd duck out there.

Because the Toonami fans kept asking for it, so Demarco had to give the fans what they wanted, was more or less what he said. In other words, obnoxious Tokyo Ghoul fanboys and fangirls wouldn't shut up and stop spamming them with requests until they aired it... even years after it debuted and the peak of its hype? Argh.

https://www.funimation.com/blog/2016/05/30/a-fullmetal-farewell-expiration-of-fullmetal-alchemist-rights-on-july-31-2016/ https://www.funimation.com/blog/2016/02/01/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood-and-fullmetal-alchemist-the-movie-conqueror-of-shamballa-streaminghome-video-rights-to-expire-binge-and-buy-before-this-classic-is-gone-for-good/ They chose not to renew the rights with Funimation, and since Funimation didn't have it anymore, Toonami couldn't show it anymore. I suppose Demarco could have negotiated a deal with Aniplex at some point, but probably didn't think it was worth the trouble. Both FMA03 and FMAB got plenty of runs anyway. It was getting like Bebop. I can't find the comment now but he said as much, that it had a good run, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Brotherhood-Complete-Collection/dp/B0071LEPDE https://www.amazon.com/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Complete-Vic-Mignona/dp/B0116FT65W Lol, though, Funimation wasn't wrong, though. The price of their old out-of-print releases have gone through the roof. http://fullmetalalchemistusa.com/bluraybox/index.html And you can't get it so cheap new from Aniplex either. The commenters weren't wrong about that, either. You gotta' sell a kidney to buy their stuff, as usual. They make everything into these obnoxious collector's sets to drive up the price. I hear they do this to prevent reverse importation. Maybe anime shouldn't be so fucking expensive in Japan in the first place? And couldn't you make more money selling a ton of copies to a lot of people than selling a few expensive copies to a small number of people? I don't get it. http://fullmetalalchemistusa.com/streaming/ At least it still seems to be streaming everywhere, thankfully. http://fullmetal.alltheanime.com/ Oh, but I see that's just Brotherhood. What about the original series? You can only buy it from the UK?? That's a fortune, too! Looks like it's on Netflix, at least, I think. I'm not going to sign in on my PS3 right now to check. It is nice that Netflix actually lets you see their site without signing in anymore, though.

But Ed has red hair. It's unclear what ethnicity she is. Like I said, a ginger Ishvalen! Didn't remember that Faye is from there. Haven't watched the show in years and have no appetite for it after years of ASA and Demarco's forcefeeding. Yeah Spike has a Jewish surname I guess but doesn't mean he is Jewish. His hair is greenish black too so what ethnicity is that? Edit - I never really thought Faye looked overly Asian before, but looking through her gallery on the wiki here, now that you mention it... http://cowboybebop.wikia.com/wiki/Faye_Valentine See, look at her features. Also homina homina homina I'm spending way too much time on this! And her and her childhood friends. The only one that looks white is possibly the one on the far right, I'd say possibly the daughter of Americans serving in the military stationed there. We have a base there, don't we? We have bases every-fucking-where. I also had no idea of the timing of when Faye was born and her accident happened. I thought it was further in the future. This definitely departs from our world, then, because there were no civilians spaceships in 2014, lol. Guess it would make sense, since she recorded that movie on a Betamax tape. And I finally figured out how to stop wiki images from shrinking when you link to them! Woo! Gotta go to their page and then click on "original file." Just clicking on "see full size image" from whatever page you are on doesn't do it. I thought it was something they had set up to prevent linking to the images, but I guess not. I have no idea why it does that, then.

What the flying horse fuck are you basing that on? Kayaba (and someone else) developed the Medicuboid (still think that's a dumb name.) Kayaba did create an AI copy of himself, but the real Kayaba is still dead. Either way, that doesn't imply there's an AI copy of Yuuki just because she used a device he made. What the fuck logic is that?
-
But, you access it with your brain. You can't just "hook it up a PC into it and hack into it." That's not how it works. You might as well ask why don't you hack a computer with a steam engine. It's incompatible tech that can't interact that way. And once the user is dead, that headset is likely useless, connection severed from SAO, or it's bricked, or both, or whatever. And if it isn't, and someone could potentially hack their way into SAO, Kayaba could have it set up so the headset fries anyone who attempts to, or they get trapped in the game themselves. And there's your valuable hacker dead or trapped. They'd also have to be willing to potentially sacrifice themselves as well. So, the only way to get into SAO is to be at Kayaba's labs and his servers, or use the headset. And we know no new users were admitted into SAO. SAO was a closed system not connected to the rest of the internet, at least after the lockdown. And again, SAO is on those servers, the headset is just an access device, and I suppose it creates the image for the user, but it's being transmitted, at least, that's my understanding. I don't see that giant world being able to fit just inside the game system, but I could be wrong. Either way, what you say just simply isn't doable because it's not like any computer or game technology as we understand it.

A) Kayaba had a development team. So not sure what you are babbling on about here. But, a visionary genius is still required in many cases. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Shigeru Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, etc... And some of these companies started out of garages and with small teams. Umm, Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests, a Japanese company got away with selling faulty air bags, companies got away with literally knowingly poisoning and killing people for years, Dupont with Teflon, asbestos manufacturers, cigarette companies, oil companies have gotten away with knowingly polluting the planet to a dangerous state (one of them even showed some semblance of conscious by abandoning some oil exploration after they learned what damage it would cause,) there was that shitty game system that was all in red that made your vision cloudy and made you dizzy, so yeah, imagine that, a game company got away with making a dangerous device in conservative Japan that is overly friendly and accommodating to businesses, and the law in general is woefully behind technology all the time. Doesn't help that most of the politicians are old and ignorant and don't understand it. And you know how stuff doesn't get done until after the fact, which is how it was in SAO in making sure future devices couldn't do this and had safety features etc. B) I'm sure if they could have they would have. Kayaba said that if anyone attempted to remove the headsets, they would fry the user. And he made good on this promise. Everything you suggested is far more intrusive and likely to set off the device as much or more than simply trying to remove the headset. And once the user is dead, there's no way to access SAO using that device anyway, since no new users were admitted into SAO. That was like... the whole point. No one gets in, no one gets out. So, I don't think there's any amount of tampering you could do when it's on someone's head because it could kill them, and you can't use it afterwards because it's useless, either because the connection to SAO is severed and/or the device becomes bricked, or whatever. Regarding Kayaba -

Continuity issues for sure. Could do without those time skips. I'd say maybe the regen ability couldn't keep up with the damage he took later on? Eeehh? Umm, Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests, a Japanese company got away with selling faulty air bags, companies got away with literally knowingly poisoning and killing people for years, Dupont with Teflon, asbestos manufacturers, cigarette companies, oil companies have gotten away with knowingly polluting the planet to a dangerous state (one of them even showed some semblance of conscious by abandoning some oil exploration after they learned what damage it would cause,) there was that shitty game system that was all in red that made your vision cloudy and made you dizzy, so yeah, imagine that, a game company got away with making a dangerous device in conservative Japan that is overly friendly and accommodating to businesses, and the law in general is woefully behind technology all the time. Doesn't help that most of the politicians are old and ignorant and don't understand it. And you know how stuff doesn't get done until after the fact, which is how it was in SAO in making sure future devices couldn't do this and had safety features etc. Uhh, that's not how it works. It was explained that someone's brain isn't instantly fried and that item was used to stop the signal and save them before the device killed them. Hence having to use it in 30 seconds. Yeah I don't blame you for not liking that as I didn't either. The other arcs/seasons are better though (except for Fairy Dance,) and I'm very interested in the Progressive version of Aincrad. But, do what you want. If you don't want to watch any more SAO, you should watch that Ted Danson Gulliver's Travels. It's a great movie!
