Yeah Roshi hasn't gotten that much screen time and is barely done anything super pervy, much less for an extended period, but this was pretty damn creepy.

Wow. I've only watched a handful of their videos, so not a avid follower of theirs or anything, but they do make some good videos and have some good insights. You didn't know they had a Youtube channel?

Also the excuses for not joining are getting flimsier and flimsier. But, I mean, I guess at most they would be gone a day or two? Preparation for the tournament, getting there, whatever pre-match stuff there is, the actual battle royale, and then the cool off, possibly. I mean, come on.

Really?

How women are treated in Japan. Is it any wonder they have a declining birthrate?

Really?

So, Super is acknowledging that the other Z Fighters have lives outside of the battles against various bad guys. So this is what Tien has been doing? I always head canon'd that he and Launch hooked up, since it was going in that direction, and he was just at his house the whole time... Wow, Master Roshi, creepy as ever... #METOO, ROSHI!, #METOO! This girl is cute...like a fusion of ChiChi and Chun Li. Who is she? And is that Cherami Leigh playing her? Why is Roshi even at Tien's school, though? lmao they all look like Tien.

Whoa, what happened to Oolong's voice.

So, did Gohan lose the ability to go Mystic because he got lazy and slacked off on his training, or did Toriyam and Toei just forget? I mean, losing some power and getting rusty and less skilled I can see... but that would be like he forgot how to turn Super Saiyan??

The tech was always dubious and vague in Naruto. VCRs and cameras, radios, but seemingly no power lines between villages, weird pipes and other steampunk stuff on buildings, but no cars or other vehicles, except sailing ships? Some theorized Naruto took place in a post-apocalyptic world. But, tech need not advance at the same pace as our own world, or as quickly. So, they could be advanced in areas we aren't, and vise versa, and advance at different rates. And maybe it is relating back to how Japan's technology advanced so quickly after they opened up.

So, it's not he Byakuyagan, but something even more specialer. Of course. This ED is sickeningly cute.

LMAO Kagemasa is obese now. He's fallen further than Steven Seagal!

Damn, got to this episode late and missed most of last week's because I was working on my fish tank and then my cat got out. So I'll have to re-watch both episodes, I guess. But, I love that girl. Hinata's sister, right? She looks like Rukia Hyuga! Especially when - (spoilers for Bleach final arc ending; Rukia)

But... Rey and Kirito had their entire lives doing the things they are good at. That's... generally how one gets good at things. I think, you don't know what a Mary Sue really is. You said you only watched the first 4 episodes of Black Clover, so not sure what you can really say on this topic. None of them look as bad as that Freezing screencap, and most have had great animation.

So, when will we get the male pill, commercial?

Is this filler too? Ok yeah looks like it. I got side-tracked reading and replying to other threads, so I'm going try to watch My Hero Academia now. Edit - Ah hell, I can't, because I didn't record it, and I can only rewind live TV by 30 minutes! Damn! Guess that's what I get for getting wrapped in arguing!

Edit - I posted in the wrong thread, really?

People often say that with the intent that someone is being contrarian for the sake of it. But, fair enough, then.

We've seen the whole show how she has difficulty controlling her magic and aiming her attack moves. We learn that she can aim just fine, but that she is subconsciously missing on purpose because she doesn't want to hurt people. She can't use her power correctly because she holds it back instead of just letting it flow. A giant display of power like that generally means there is something in store in the future, even if defensive. Think about Gohan. And I wouldn't call that ball entirely defensive, either. Point is, Noelle always had a lot of power, but just didn't know how to use it properly. We learned she has no attack spells, so I guess just hurling those balls doesn't count as actual spells? It's not clear. But yeah, now she does have attack spells, and they're badass.

I dunno, for me, the writing was on the wall when Sasuke wasn't rescued after one arc and it became apparent that one of the end goals of the series would be rescuing that little shit. What's more, Naruto and Sasuke's relationship doesn't even come off like Kishimoto wants it to. They are supposed to be BEST FRIENDS, and the show and characters tell us this several times, but there's like a whole three actual friendship moments, and their relationship comes off more like co-workers who were on friendly terms, and Naruto loses his shit because Sasuke gets a job somewhere else. It would actually make more sense if they were gay. Also the fact that Sasuke was an asshole and they were mostly just little shits to each other, it doesn't make me sympathize with Sasuke, much less Naruto and Sakura wanting to "save" him. Sasuke has done more than enough that should have gotten him hunted down and killed or captured a long time ago. So, we're supposed to agree with Naruto and Sakura, and think eveyone else is wrong, but it comes off the opposite and Naruto and Sakura come off as crazy and delusional. And the whole Itachi retcon thing was a just a joke. Now, there have still been good arcs like the stuff you mentioned, but the backbone of the show being RESCUE SASUKE, is just... it's bad. Finally, upon re-watching "the good part", Part 1, it's not even as good as I remember. I can actually get behind Asta and his goals. Within the first few episodes, Asta and Yuno was already a better friendship than Naruto and Sasuke. Yuno is actually likable and not an asshole. The women being able to actually do things is certainly a plus. I have enjoyed the storylines and how they have gone outside of the usual formula, with Vetto, a henchman, stronger than Licht, and Licht defeated first, plus all the team and combo attacks. It's not often seen so I appreciate it.

Yep, and come to think of it Gohan had little to no socialization with other children. That can't have been good for him.

Or, I just have a different opinion? God-for-fucking-bid.

Also I must have misread that post because I thought @Daos said that the art was as bad as a fan service show from 10 years ago. Umm, the art in that screencap does look like shit, and the fan service isn't even good. Those character designs do nothing for me. About as appealing as Tenchi GXP's "art."

I don't think that's always such a good thing. There's plenty of shows I've stumbled upon on TV, that I probably wouldn't have watched had a I came across their title page and synopsis on a streaming service. You're more likely to stick around watching something after you see a few minutes, than if you just look at the thumbnail/poster/card/whatever online and go "I'm not gonna watch that." Linear traditional TV still has its place and its benefits, and it would be a shame if it does go fully extinct.

But My Hero Academia is so much better. Or Naruto, LOL. One Piece, when given multiple chances to add more female crew members, just made the boat a bigger sausage fest. I mean, I guess you can say a reindeer, skeleton, and cyborg aren't exactly "normal men," but they could just easily have been women. Still miss Vivi. There's not very many women with weird or ugly designs in the show like there are guys, either. I also hear the women are handled worse and worse as the series goes on. Hunter x Hunter - no women of note to speak of. It's too bad the blonde guy wasn't a girl. He had a cute Tasha Yar look going on. Naruto - Do I even have to say anything? Now, Bleach, Fairy Tail, SAO, Black Clover, they all have strong, capable women who actually impact the plot. Though with obvious weaknesses, like Orihime, but even she has done more than any of the women in My Hero Academia so far.
