But they didn't have to copy it! These are all just pretenders to the throne! Also, there's tons of characters that look like Kirito now and not just from this type of show. Rin from Blue Exorcist also looks like a knock-off of Yoshimori from Kekkaishi. It's like nobody can come up with any other designs for their main characters!

Probably the "volume" on him will just be turned up, or he speaks louder, like in that filler episode that featured him. At least I think it was filler.

Maybe now Gohan will reveal he can go SUPER SAIYAN MYSTIC or something...

Well it's not SAO's fault!

Good!

Oh ok. It just seems odd that captions actually pick up what Gordon says. He's either meant to be heard and understood, or he's not. Make up your mind, Black Clover and closed caption people! I need to check the manga to see how he's handled. And you may be right about him being a counter to Asta. I'm just wondering when he'll be developed and hopefully we'll be able to hear him better then! There must be a method to this madness!

Yes there, the lead-ins, the anchors, but not all night! Hopefully, because there's way too many long-runners now, and barely anywhere to put new finite shows. Yes, they better not replace HxH with another long-runner. What was the last "new" thing at 2am? Outlaw Star?

If Demarco does that he is officially dead to me.

So, if the captions capture what Gordon says, why does he mumble and talk so quietly you can't understand him? Have we been missing important stuff?!

I have to do something to put you in line should you get the idea to make 15 Halloween and/or Hellsing threads again like you used to constantly do!

He still had struggles in the game, though, and what about how the game broke him as a person, etc? It's always the superficial with these criticisms. Yeah Kirito is great at the game, but on a mental and emotional state...

Yes, plenty of times. You know there's actually girls who their favorite anime is SAO. One of my best friends has women jumping at him constantly and so easily, he says it's actually a hassle and kind of annoying. It happens. Uncomfortable to the insecure maybe... Or those with inferiority complexes. Character trait? Hmm, Asuna's mom wasn't a big fan of Kirito, lul. And the women he fought. And, those two guild leaders... pretty sure they were just pretending to be into Kirito to recruit him. They could have been joking? Either way, you have to admit the Mother's Rosario Arc was great and Yuuki was a great character.

If that is the case I hope they do something more productive with the time than they are now. If there is indeed a method to the madness, I hope the cloud of madness clears to reveal the method soon. Oh well that's cool. Maybe I'll watch it then. Been years since I saw the old episodes. Probably won't watch it live though.

Sometimes quality is rewarded, but not always. Doesn't change the fact that Love Live was the best-selling media in Japan! Not just Japanese-made, but everything available that year!

Throw Shippuden there then, like you said, since it's a garbage show. Then have Boruto, MHA, DBS, the rest of the block follows. There's no need for Kai. I wouldn't mind Black Clover getting moved up, though. Yep they need at least 3 or 4 slots for rotating in finite series. We're barely going to be able to get any new shows now! The Vindication is definitely down an engine! If no new shows are going to show up on the beginning or end of the block, I'm not sure what the point of this is? I mean, it's nice that the era of one and done wam bam thankyou ma'am is over, and the reruns aren't just the same ole ASA dead horses, but still, they've got way too many long-runners. But they'll probably catch up to MHA, JoJo, and Black Clover eventually, right? So those could effectively be seasonal, given enough time?

Love Live... THE PINNACLE OF JAPANESE ART, as voted by the Japanese with their wallets. Sad.

So drawing women that look like women is "gratuitous objectification?" You sound like the Dead or Alive dev "we made their breasts smaller to make them appear 'more human'". Seems kind of counter to the whole body positivity and accepting different kinds of bodies thing. Hell, Mimosa is even a little on the chubby side. And the food girl turns into a little person at times because... reasons.

Do you scrub it with steel wool?

LMAO. Well, I remember when I first got a PC at home and started using the internet more extensively, pretty much all the DBZ fansites were run by women. Same for the InuYasha fansites, though probably more expected with that show. I've known lots of girls that like anime. I mean, nerdy guys complain about not being able to find girls that share their interests, but girls that like anime and/or videogames really aren't that uncommon. And I'm told that women outnumber men at anime conventions. Of course, that would require the guys to actually get out of the house LOL. But personally, I don't feel like paying the exorbitant admission to anime cons to walk around and wait in line forever and barely be able to get into any panels etc. Not like I have room for more crap anyway. That said, it is silly that Demarco is avoiding that kind of stuff. I mean, personally, I don't see the purpose of watching an ecchi show when you've got actual hentai out there, but maybe if there was more to it than that, or it was something you could just laugh at, like High School of the Dead or Queen's Blade, then yeah I guess it's somewhat watchable. But I mean, if the excuse is 'not enough plot' or 'bad writing,' why is he going all in for Naruto? Demarco is a prude!

Why are they bringing Dragon Ball Z Kai back? That's about the laziest, most uncreative thing they could do. You start Toonami early... with a rerun? So My Hero Academia no longer leads off the block. That didn't last long. Guess it didn't do well enough? They moved Shippuden up. THEY MOVED SHIPPUDEN UP. What the fuck?! And yes I already knew that Boruto was coming, but that doesn't make this any better. Just let it die already. At least we don't have to care about Boruto spoiling Naruto since the story went to complete shit anyway and the ending is a joke, by all accounts. Naruto has long, long wore out its welcome. We've gone way past the point of the good part, to the story taking a terrible direction, to mediocre, to some good arcs, but mostly it's all just terrible and we're all just watching to see how bad it will get and if it will live up to the stories. Basically it's a train wreck. But that isn't much of a consolation! I may be wrong, but it's not that Super was moved back, just that more shows are being added in front of it? But yeah, they've actually gotten desperate enough to rerun Kai, while Super is still on, though not putting them together, for whatever reason. Remember that time Demarco said Toonami doesn't need Dragon Ball to fan asking them why they hadn't picked it up? Lololololo. Funny how his tune changes once it's available, and now they're leaning on it hard, their biggest crutch ever. Hunter x Hunter demoted to the final premiere on the block, after Black Clover! Does me no good though, since I'm watching One-Punch Man. At least I guess if that ends and they replace it with something that's run 80 billion times or something I don't care to watch again, I could leave the block early and not have to kill time while Hunter x Hunter is on. Cowboy Bebop needs to be Old Yeller'd. They added Samurai Jack... another rerun. Why? So, the block is longer than ever, but the new additions are all reruns, and the cancer known as Boruto. Talk about a waste! You could use those slots to premiere some seasonal shows, or hell, another long-runner, one you haven't run before, if you absolutely have to have that fucking many. All these extra timeslots added, but not really anything opened up to add more shows, since they stocked them with long-runners and reruns they probably won't cut off before they finish. And Al called this Toonami on Adult Swim's second heyday? What happened to quality over quantity?

You talking about how the girls get that look on their face when Kirito and Shino walk in? Fair enough, lol. Guess it never bothered me that much. I do still get a kick out of Kiritroll, though, those nicknames he had for them. Hopefully it doesn't continue into SAO 3!

Klein is like the lovable loser. Definitely underrated character. And he actually gets screwed out of getting girls! Remember the whole Thor debacle?! Hmm, you are exaggerating Kirito's abilities. I remember when people made a big deal out of him putting computers together when he was a kid, when computers are like fucking legos now.

Haven't they moved on, though? I don't notice them actually pining for Kirito after that. They're just still his friend. And Suguha has that one kid that likes her, and she seems to possibly like him back. Also the main plot of the show isn't even about that. It's action adventure. So, yeah, the show doesn't end, because it's not a harem show.
