That is Alchemist for you. Constantly assuming and pulling things out of his ass.

Whenever they move the whole schedule it confuses viewers and nukes the ratings. We've seen this time and again. That would also go against their creedo of not messing with the schedule too much. Something ASA never had the sense to adhere to.

PC culture lost the culture war and is on its way out.

Some random Japanese guy that had nothing to do with creating the original.

Toonami sold us a bill of goods. It's like when they called Samurai Champloo a premiere, or said that Space Dandy was from the "creators of Soul Eater and Fullmetal Alchemist," rofl. Hey Demarco -

Is that really true? Why in the hell...

NO MORE BEBOP! Probably the only reason Bebop is doing that well is Demarco pumping it into TV stores. Or, it's because it actually hasn't been on for a long enough time that people actually want to watch it again, or people living under a rock or youngins' are seeing it for the first time. Rerun it again immediately and I'm pretty sure that rating is nullified.

Yeah well still... fuck that April Fool's.

Oh god no. I sat through enough of that torture during the short-lived Chiller block. I actually had to simulate my viewing of it via streaming services since I didn't have the channel back then. Is this a Zombie is still defiling my Funimation Now queue.

ugh

Because photoshop existed in the 80s and 90s when Toriyama was drawing the manga... *rolls eyes*

Hey, the Super Saiyans look cool, eh? So who cares! Kubo sometimes leaves out backgrounds to focus on the characters. http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Chitamachii/Tite_Kubo_in_Germany_2013 Personally, I care more about the characters than how many potted plants are in the background.

When that first Mobile Armor appeared I thought they were going to be a major factor in the show. Like, this was just the beginning and soon others would come back to life. But, apparently not... The beam weapons don't even do as much destruction as the lance launcher things. Granted, the Gundams were designed to withstand the beams, but still.

I thought rail guns fired energy pulses, not projectiles. But looks like I'm wrong. They still seem overpowered to me, though. And they have a lot of ammo for a weapon that's supposed to be illegal, lol.

Yeah. Different art style. It looks better than Super in terms of visuals.

The character design and power pole give a more retro old school Dragon Ball feel. But, this will just be a continuation? Hmm.

Need to get back to listening to the show! Don't know if this is a good jumping back in point though.

Yeah, it wouldn't be the first show that happened to. Puns aren't funny anyway.

Because Demarco is a sick man.

I never thought about them using it as a testbed for those other genres Demarco was talking about. It would be nice if they used it for something productive like that, like when Toonami first came back, instead of something retarded like they did last year.

I remember the ratings going way down after that, and I think Jack's momentum got detailed too.

Oh it was shit alright, but it wasn't funny. If that's their idea of funny, I'll skip it. Besides, the same episode over and over? Really?

I'd like to think we left those kinds of people behind many years ago. And fair enough, but I'm just saying that whole talking point is usually overblown. Can't say I've seen too many series that didn't seem like they were so Japanese culture-centric that they wouldn't work well in localized form. Or one that was and lost anything for it. A lot of anime viewers will be generally interested in Japanese culture and want to learn more about it anyway. Though I don't think anime itself is the best way to do that or the most accurate representation...

Why did they use her in all the promo material if she's in the second part? And so does this mean the 2 seasons don't have anything to do with each other? I didn't get that impression at all.
