I wouldn't agree with that. There's a certain charm and sweetness to Mashima's work, it's definitely there with Fairy Tail. So many emotional moments! I've teared up so many times! And I love the relationships the characters have with each other. It's all very heartwarming. Fun, yeah it's fun, too. There's no shame in liking it, just because others might rip into it, is no reason to say it's not good, when you say you enjoyed it. As for the cheesiness and corniness, I think Fairy Tail owns it. There's something to be said for a show that's just that honest. It's trying to be edgy or earth-shattering or anything. It's not afraid to go that, well, classic fairy tale route.

@DangerMouse O_O That's an OVA though. So Mashima probably had nothing to do with it. Agreed on the women getting bustier and thicker as time goes on. Well, I've noticed with Lucy at least so far.

If they kept sliding Shippuden later and later and later and it's stayed where it's at for so long, why would they suddenly put it so early? It's where it's at because of its performance, or lack thereof.

Hahahaha oh god.

I saw the old show. It doesn't hold up that well. But, probably better than some others from that time period. Yeah, that, and also the other ThunderCats rescuing Lion-O all the time. Doesn't make him seem very heroic, lol. To be fair it starts with a five-part mini-series that was pretty good. The new show improved a lot of things. Lion-O no longer has that weird child in man's body Captain Marvel thing going on. What was the point of that, anyway? Snarf is reduced to an unspeaking Pokemon-like pet. The story and writing are better, it's overarching. Show really impressed me with some of the ideas it had going on, like those quick-living plant people. I like how they toned down the cat-ness of the characters' looks. I prefer the redesigns of the most of the characters actually. It also had some surprisingly mature themes, like racism, slavery, lots of death, Mumm-Ra committing genocide, etc. The cats, especially Tygra and Cheetara, are kinda' douches to Lion-O though, which I didn't notice as much on the first watch for whatever reason. Then, Pumyra turns on him and the rest of the group! The guy just couldn't catch a break! It's good to hear things would at have least started to go better for Lion-O later on. To the old show's credit, it was kind of dark, too, and Mumm-Ra was pretty scary for a kids show, and didn't have to be changed much at all for the new series. That sword had all kinds of powers, didn't it?

True, but still. First thing I thought of. That castle has some M.C. Escher vibes going on too, though.

Noelle is royalty, but unlike the other prodigies in her noble clan, she struggles at using her power properly. That bird guy resents her (much like Neji). People mock and look down on her. It was the same way with Hinata. Noelle acted like a cunt at first, which is different, but I think she's going to be nice now after what happened at the end of the last episode. Never heard of it being a tomboy thing, or anything about how they dress. A tsundere doesn't even have to be a girl. It's just a character that acts all grumpy and jerkish, like they don't like someone, when in fact they're actually a softy on the inside, and do like said person. Inuyasha is a tsundere character, part of why he's popular with girls. Pretty sure Noelle was just acting like that as a defense mechanism. She's used to be people ridiculing her, so she wanted to keep the other Black Bulls at an arm's length. After the events at the end of the episode though, I don't expect this to continue.

Well, we knew that already. Of course it won't stop people from repeatedly asking for shows that are on lock down, but still, it's nice for them to put that out there. At least he finally watched it! And it's good to hear he likes it. Unfortunate about not being able to air it. The room I get but I wonder what the issue with the deals are. I do wish I hadn't saved it for Toonami. I loved Rave Master, so I was naturally interested in Fairy Tail. My plan was to read the manga then watch the anime. I read the first volume and liked it, but got sidetracked somehow for whatever reason. I later decided I would just wait until it ended up on the block. Seemed inevitable, right? My idea was it would be more enjoyable to watch with everyone else than on my own. But it never panned out. The time has flown and now the manga is over. D: I did start watching the series a couple years ago though. *sigh* At least I can catch up and watch the last part of the anime with everyone I guess.

Hey we found this out on my birthday! Really liked the new ThunderCats. It was better than the old show. Was very disappointed that it got canceled. If I get the chance I'll probably listen to this. Tigersharks and Silverhawks? Really?! Lion-O and Wilykit? Isn't she, um, a kid?

It is in HD. It's just 4:3 aspect ratio.

Usually the stuff the show dwells on is dull as fuck, like a whole episode about opening a door. I prefer shows where things happen. Also, ever hear of show, don't tell?

I suppose I could look at the bright side. At least everything is being played in its proper aspect ratio.

When someone asked Demarco about this he said a show doesn't have to end for them to add new shows. We'll see what happens. Yeah I suppose so... Ok I didn't know that. Well that's good then.

A cute princess (with white hair) similar to Hinata has now been introduced. Funny enough, Asta met some people louder than him. He goes into the Black Bulls' hall and starts screaming but everyone is rough housing and carrying on and doesn't even hear him. Then this last episode everyone was telling him to shut up. Maybe we didn't give this show enough credit.

I was right the first time. She is Hinata, but just acted like a bitch at first.

Gotta admit I am enjoying it thus far. Not sure what all the fuss is about? I suppose it can always go to shit later, but...

You guys are jumping straight to love interest right off the bat just from that?

Actually it's not-Hinata.

I don't know anything about that last one. What is it copying? Wait what came from One Piece specifically?

It looked dumb to me. But I wasn't paying that close attention to the trailer.

Pretty sure that had to be her.

Primitive prosthetic bodies at that time couldn't do such delicate things. Such a sad story waahaahaa.

More paralysis tonight.

The taste is good but who doesn't want to get drunk? Also there's non-alcoholic beer, but I've never had it so I can't speak for the taste.

VHS tapes! Even if they're ageless artificial bodies, it's still creepy to just have them in there like that.
