a mini-essay on how gay Naruto is **spoilers**
ben0119 replied to mochi's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
At least bisexual? Because he was interested in Sakura. Konohamaru surpassed him in that regard LOL. I think the other one that looks like Sasuke is actually Sai, and that one looks like Jugo probably is Jugo. So maybe they are meant to be actual characters and we just aren't recognizing them? Maybe to be introduced beyond what Toonami has shown? But yeah Naruto definitely seems very into dudes. The story would actually make sense if he was meant to be, since him supposedly being best friends with Sasuke is not portrayed well at all. They're mostly little shits to each other and have very few "friendship moments." Their relationship comes off more like someone you went to school or worked with and were friendly with, and then you lose your shit when they move. It doesn't make sense for Naruto be fucking obsessed with Sasuke and pursuing him and wanting to forgive whatever horrible things he does when he should rightly be hunted down and captured or killed, given what we actually saw in the show, no matter how many times it shouts at us that they were "best friends." All this makes you wonder some things about the author too. Does Kishimoto have some repressed homosexual urges? Or does he just have no idea how to write relationships of any kind? Maybe he has issues with them and interacting with people in real life? He's already admitted to being bad at writing women because he says he can't relate to them. I mean, Tosen and Komamura come off pretty well as "best friends torn apart" and they're side characters! Asta and Yuno came off as a better friendship than Naruto and Sasuke in just the first few episodes! -

Never saw Dr. Slump or read the manga. Probably when I would've had the inclination to back when I first saw that arc in Dragon Ball, it wasn't available or I didn't know how to. Toriyama's humor is pretty funny, so I should check it out. Sticks need to be removed from asses. -

Seriously? Arale and her "world" appeared in a whole segment of the Red Ribbon Army Saga in Dragon Ball. Even if you've never seen Dr. Slump you should know who Arale is. -

Never heard about this until now. This guy is hilarious! His antics are probably more entertaining than any of the shows he's made! -
Maybe it's not as good as I remember, but I remember enjoying at the time! Definitely some over-the-top stuff that went on. The main character got compared to Vash, and he even had a counterpart or two, like Knives. Maybe I should re-watch it to see if maybe it's worse than I remember.

The record company exec. Yes.

I know, it's too bad. I was interested to see where it was going. Was getting good, too!

It wasn't that bad. It was like Trigun with vampires!

What happened to the One Piece thing? You fell off the face of the earth. -
Ep 11 - Wow, that's scary. And this photon sword... I thought it would be like Darth Maul's lightsaber, but it looks like you can only have the same combined length through either side of the sword, and she changed it to come out the other end. Still pretty cool. That was brutal! What is with this senseless bum-rushing? They thought it would wake up psycho LLENN? But wouldn't they have been better off coming up with a plan and teaming up on Pitohui? It's not like they would risk leaving the cabin. Seems like a waste of their team members. Why didn't she think to just cut off the shoe lace a lot sooner? Not sure why LLENN has started doubting herself again. Guess it's one thing to tell herself she'd beat Pitohui but then to actually confront her after she shows off how monstrous she is, is another thing. But you already got killed by that LLENN, Boss. Some great tactics by LLENN here to get M and Pitohui to leave the cabin, and then against the hummer. At least Fuka is still in the fight. Ok Pito should have been shot or killed several times now. She's got about as much luck as LLENN! That was badass. Ok, now LLENN has made it to Pito and both have been disarmed. Now what? LLENN is mad and has had enough of Pito's shit.

That merger should have never passed the anti-trust laws. And I've never seen a network that gets good ratings say ratings don't matter.

Dragon Ball Z Kai Episode 167 (Series Finale) Discussion
ben0119 replied to Meilag32's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
GT was supposed to be about the next generation. Some fans even thought GT stood for Goten and Trunks. Along with Uub and Pan, the show should have focused on them. But they fucked that up and just went right back to Goku. Turning him into a kid even, almost to nerf his power level and reboot him to an extent, just to prolong his involvement. This already happened before, when the torch was supposed to be passed to Gohan, with him beating Cell. Then Toriyama changed his mind about that. It's pretty obvious to see it happen, when the focus of the show switched from Gohan and Videl to suddenly a new threat shows up and Goku has to come back. But I agree with you, that if such a show can still happen, it should. -

GT was never canon. What are you talking about? I mean hell, it uses stuff from DBZ filler, like the Tuffles, and Gogeta, and Toriyama had almost no involvement with it. I see no evidence of this announcement, either. Either way, these episodes have nothing to do with GT, since this was in the manga too. -
They could do different jokes for the dub like they did with FLCL and Lupin Part 2.

12 episodes is 3 months.

I've never heard a network or show that gets good ratings claim that ratings don't matter.
