Well I'd say Toriyama's earned his retirement. He did bust his ass making Dragon Ball. So calling him lazy kinda' doesn't make sense to me. We don't generally call retirees, or people that make a lot of money earlier in life and then manage it wisely so they don't have to work, lazy.

I agree with you, but we can't force people how to post. I will discuss with people of they are around and want to, though.

Well it's kind of hard to talk about shows if they aren't on, so yeah being upset and talking about this would have been a lot more than just "technical aspects of the schedule." But since Adult Swim is airing as usual, this is all moot.

Yeah judging from that press release I would have said to wait to make sure that includes Adult Swim being preempted. Didn't think it did.

Yes, we know you're a hipster troll that loves to like all the the shit shows.

What the fuck. So I guess this the confusing show they were talking about? This is the replacement for Kai?! Anime Tim and Eric... so in other words comedy cancer. Why not air this on Sunday? Ratings are going to crater.

I think I am at the Infinity Clock or whatever it is. Didn't get around to watching it yet. Got sidetracked. Maybe subconsciously haven't made the effort yet because you said it was a terrible filler arc, but I dunno. Can't be worse than the Bount!

Hey man for what it's worth the canon is good. You can use the wiki or I'm sure any number of guides to skip the filler! Though some of the one-shot filler episodes are good, and that Zanpakuto Rebellion or whatever it was called was pretty good, at least for a while. Whatever you do though, do not watch the Bount Arc. I actually have blocked parts of it from my mind it's so bad.

I hope you're right. The ending arc definitely deserves to be animated. And hopefully it's maybe a director's cut of things Kubo didn't get to include in the manga.

Like I said in the OP, I don't pay much attention to JP releases so I missed that this was out until was on for 6 weeks. And yeah I'm quite certain it will end up on Toonami.

Ep 8 - Who goes into a game saying they're going to KILL? Lol that deep serious voice from Fuka. Fuka, you noob! Ran right into the trip wire! Ouch, no legs! You would think they would take longer to regenerate than 2 minutes. But then again, your HP doesn't regenerate. Man, the way she kicked off the building and the tree to take out that guy was awesome! Knife to the balls! D: Someone either wrecked the train or it was already like that when the field generated. That's a CHEAP-ASS strategy, Fuka! But, it's just like something someone would totally do in a game! So was that All-Japan Machine Gunners taking someone out, or them being taken out? Lmao you talk like that in-game it will slip out in the real world. Wow, such a elegant way to say it that time rofl! So other people are firing without the targeting circle too? Why do they keep emphasizing the girl with the green hair? All those teams ganging up on Pitohui and M's team might have the right idea. But will it make a difference if they're all noobs? Taking them out as soon as you agree to join up? Not sure that's a good idea even if "this is a battle royale," as you say. Pitohui has lost it, or is continuing to! Cackling like a madwoman! Ep 9 - Staying on the mountain is a good idea. After all, THEY'VE GOT THE HIGH GROUND! So someone is actually in the water fall? I would've thought that would be be a decoy. Now we finally get to see Pitohui let loose. Annnnnd she's a freakin monster! I don't like LLENN's chances! D: Is it possible to shoot people in half and decapitate them like that? I would think if someone got shot in the head with a powerful enough round, it would just explode, not go flying. Unless she shot him in the neck? So the dome was a bio-dome, heh. Conserving ammo and sneaking through is a good idea, but we all know it wasn't going to work! "I was saving this move for Pito! But to use it here, like this..." Shonen vibes, heh. Pink smoke cloud! The Pink Devil! Gotta say, watching these dudebros get destroyed by this little cutesy character is quite amusing and satisfying! Wtf! Of course we can't get through SAO with a depraved pervert! Fuka beat the hell out of him with a gun lmao. Another pervert?! What the hell was the point of that weirdo pervo woman? Took up way too much time. I wouldn't be surprised if that was filler! Oh, and she looked like Karen, too.

Ep 6 - Now that earlier snippet of this scene makes much more sense. They weren't just random girls watching the battle after all. Is it really normal for a college student to hang out with high school kids? I mean I know they met in the game and all, but still... LOL they are more focused on GGO than their gymnastics now. Zekken beat her friend. This guy is totally nuts, not just Pitohui. He is willing to kill himself for her or let her kill him, and let her kill herself. You know Karen YOU could go to the cops. Though it's possible they off themselves or decide to out in a blaze of glory if that happens, so who knows. A kabedon LOL. And not even for her. She will join with that team? No, her veteran VRMMO player friend. Should have known better than to think we'd get through an SAO series with no fan service. Or "bigger than the game" stakes, for that matter. Ep 7 - Again with the random character generator? The only time I remember this happening was with Kirito when he joined GGO, and even then, the character still resembled him somewhat. It seems like it only happened with Karen so they could do a few jokes of her not liking her characters? Should have just had her and Fuka make their characters. It's not a big deal, but it still bugs me. And here is some other weirdo begging to buy her character just like with Kirito LOL. See how many people I can get to hit on me. I can see a reverse harem situation LOL. Guess girls don't like shooters as much, because there's a lot of girls, more than guys, I think, playing the usual fantasy MMOs, at least in real life. Did seem like there were more girls in SAO and ALO too. Her friend is weird, and says a lot of English words. Truly logical how you came up with that username, Fuka... That is an insane amount of money. Talk about making a hasty decision just buying those grenade launchers just like that! And yes it is limiting! Not only do I not need to hear about her getting sick from eating a bunch of ice cream, but that shatters my suspension of disbelief! Women don't do that! So Pitohui has always been nuts. She's even worse than I thought! And is that a real bird? But, indeed, she's not just a cunning, mysterious woman, with an evil grin to match, kinda like Yoruichi, she IS straight up evil! Or at least mentally disturbed. And if she's Elsa Kanzaki, I'm betting making her big break as a musician is what cost her playing SAO. That concert was the same day as her "childhood best friend's wedding," too. I bet Memento Mori are played by a bunch of shotas/moe boys! Not just M, but she's rounded up 4 other hapless fools to her team?! I hope they aren't under threat of death too! "She's a woman too, I can smell it." "I see, so you're a pervert, huh?" Not remembering or pretending like she doesn't remember their promise. Not good. Yeah Pitohui will live if she wins, but even with as good as she is it's more likely she loses, especially given all the other strong teams in the game. LLENN and Fuka beating her is a "safer" bet? Maybe? Besides if Pito does win she can always put her and M into more death scenarios. At least if Karen can meet her IRL maybe she can bring her to her senses. "I'm going to kill you! Then I'll save you!"

Unless I am mistaken, it looks like you aren't able to have multiple sets of spoilered text. As soon as I made one, it turned the whole post into spoilers, even though I had an spoilers end bracket. When I tried to make a second, it just made as spoiler box inside of the big spoiler box... Alternating the colors of text as default and PINK DEVIL is all I could come up with to make it flow better, since I didn't want to make separate posts for each episode. *sigh* Ep 1 - P-chan, really? She entered in the battle royale because she couldn't get tickets to a concert? Suuurrrree. GGO better hope they don't get sued by PUBG though LOL. Pretty cool how real life skills can transfer to the game. Is it really such a good place for the military to get experience, fighting against noobs like those machine gunners? M is a great strategist! LLENN has some kind of super-speed ability? Whoa she's as fast as her gun! That was awesome! The pros quit because things just got unrealistic, heh. And that's the player behind the avatar! Ep 2 - I know this is a spin-off, but they really need to vary up the character designs. Kirito, Shino, and Karen all look too alike, and Elsa Kanzaki looks like a grown up Yui. Why don't her parents want her to get a job? ROFL a bunch of moeblobs walk by and she's jealous. The character is random? Shouldn't you be able to create your own character? I know for a fact that you could in SAO, because Bulk and Skull made girl characters and they got revealed by the mirrors hahaha. ALO avatars were deliberate too, looking like the person, etc. And Sinon slightly resembles her real self. So yeah, that's weird. LOL this tutorial. So she blended in with the pink desert? Pitohui looks like a Gainax/Trigger character. Doesn't want to play with sleazy guys LOL. Thought that tattoo would mean she's a guy in real life, as a trick to stop guys hitting on her hahaha. But if she's saying just a mere face tattoo would supposedly stop them, not so sure about that. Sorry but naming guns is just weird. And why P-chan? Because of Pitohui? The name of the model of that gun starts with P? Because pink? Weird they have known each other for so long in-game and so little real life stuff has come up. Odd to make that deal instead of just meeting up? Especially since LLENN was more worried about revealing herself? Calling it now. Something horrible is going to happen to Pitohui, or she has some disease or disability or something. Ep 3 - A gun nut novelist? Hmm. It's too bad Pitohui couldn't compete in the Squad Jam. Also why not just show this all in chronological order? Maybe there's a method the madness. Or they could be friends, LLENN. Seems kind of silly she is scared of this big guy given she is tall in real life. Hahaha putting her through her paces. M? Is that yours? It's big. Is Pitohui Elsa Kanzaki? Naaah. FUCKIN' SCALPERS! M is one sick puppy! Ep 4 - Hovercrafts! Chicken? That's smart strategy! And I seem to recall that spaceship hull coming into play in SAO II. So M has real shooting experience, which is how he was able to pull that off. Pretty badass! Ok who is this team of weirdos? M NOOOOO WHY?! Hmmm but LLENN was able to counter. And now he's crying and begging for mercy?! Her reaction LOL! Ep 5 - This isn't Sword Art Online. LOL. Yeah I don't think that was meant to be taken literally and I highly doubt Pitohui is that much of a psychopath. So after M's meltdown it'd all up to LLENN. How can she even tell that's a girl? The gun is... talking to her?! I thought she was hearing the voice of the tutorial NPC or Pitohui before now. Lots of em have some manly characters bleh. M is back in it? Well he's pretty safe from there LOL. Words can't do justice, this battle is just amazing. Remembering the knife lessons, heh. Woo she won! They're sophomore high school students, but short for that, even still. Karen got over her complex already, just like that? Short girls want to be taller and tall girls want to be shorter, of course. LOL OF COURSE that team was the moeblobs!

GUN GALE ONLINE ALTERNATIVE ANIME DISCUSSION NOOOOO I DIDN'T KNOW GGO ALTERNATIVE ALREADY STARTED WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?! Guess this is what I get for not paying attention. Which, I usually DON'T pay attention to stuff right as it is coming out of Japan, and won't usually watch subs in general unless it's for something I've already watched previous episodes/iterations dubbed. As for SAO, though, I was about to watch it subbed when Toonami got it, due to recommendation from a friend and my own genuine interest, and haven't been able to wait for the dub for the rest, though of course I end up watching that too. If only I had known this was on! D: It was 6 eps in by the time I realized the show was on, and 8 by the time I started watching a few days ago, 9, as of now. Probably not much purpose in making a thread at this point, but what the hell. At least my thoughts will be recorded for posterity, along with any guesses or predictions I've made. I'll put my episode comments in my next post, under spoiler tags, for organizational, readability, and aesthetic purposes. But this is intended to be an open spoilers thread, naturally. Anyone else is free to join in, of course. More than 2 videos are being watched on Hulu-FFFFFFFFFFF Ended up having to download Crunchyroll app for PS3 and used the free version. I have to commend Demarco for placing an ad for FLCL Progressive on Crunchyroll. Ok, the Crunchyroll PS3 app is a pile of shit. No way in hell would I ever get the paid version. It crashed during ads multiple times, went to a black screen and nothing responded, I had to reset the system. Could do without the same Sherwin Williams ad playing 3 times in a row, or random Spanish AT&T commercials. Then there was some messed up ad that played annoying, loud piano music, with no video. The player is also ass. Thankfully, I was able to at least watch 7, 8, and 9 on Hulu.

This is the only new Bleach stuff coming out that I know of. Art book, one shot manga to tie-in to the movie, and well, the movie itself. So, we shouldn't get our hopes up. I have no idea why that guy said we might see "grown up Rukia" though. Pretty sure she's well over a hundred years old. That's as big as she's gonna' get!

Trunks arguably should get the win, since it's his world. But the way Vegito was brought into the fight, and taken out of it, was stupid.

Links or it didn't happen.

A joke for sure. One I've made too. But maybe we should stop tempting fate. If Demarco does do that then that means the last bit of his sanity has slipped away, along with any confidence I had in him.

"I'm far too refined for a lowbrow anime such as this."

There's a whole bunch of munagi! And they went back to the comet! Lol old man and Dandy arguing again. You're finally getting along! THAT IS NOT A THING, QT! Legendary Mussie LOL.

Yeah, but 3600 years?!

Pull in the munagi into that tiny-ass boat?!

Yeah!

Can't remember if there are any real comets with super-long orbits like that, or if they could exist. BLUE MOON! It's the munagi!

She looks like someone from Whoville. LOL that death glare.
