Good question! Just another one of Demarco's boneheaded decisions the past couple years, along with missing many must-get big hit shows. We need someone to Make Toonami Great Again.

Toonami isn't a network unto itself, or a streaming service with a vast, endless library. It's a small programming block that has a few hours to play with each Saturday night. So wasting just one time slot is a big deal.

That's because you're used to settling. You've been beaten down. A time slot is a precious commodity on Toonami!

Alright, it's been a while but I've finally gotten around to watching more Fairy Tail. I was actually extremely sick when I watched the arcs in between the ones I already commented on in this thread and the one I just watched, so I never got around to writing anything on them as far as I know, could be in a document somewhere, but I don't think so. And too much time has passed for me to really get into any real detail but suffice to say I loved them! Keep in mind, I had posts I cared the most about backed up in the event anything happened, so after ASMB got shut down, I copied them over to here, hence why other people's replies were lost above. Edolas Arc - If Makarov knew what Mystogan's deal was, why was he not aware of the anima forming or do anything about it? Or did he not know that much? Was Mystogan having all those staves a hint that he didn't have internal magic and required them to perform a large variety of spells? Yeah you've probably all been wondering about those cats for a while. Now we're finally going to get a very, unexpected, I must say, explanation! Gotta say I did not expect Edolas to be the way it was. I was thinking more of a straight up evil universe, but it turns out it was more of an opposite universe, with character personalities, events, and the nature of the world running somewhat opposite to the real one, with exceptions of course. Edolas Erza was the only one who was evil version of themselves, more or less. Gotta say just the way Edolas looks it doesn't look like a place lacking in magic. It's trippy as hell! Floating islands and sky rivers, odd plants and animals! Whole place looks like an album cover! Turns out, though, that magic was responsible for the floating islands and some of the other weirdness, heh. The idea of people not having innate magic and having to use enchanted items is an interesting, different take, as is magic being a limited resource, leading to intense conflict. A comment is made about old timey people being pretty impressive for being able to make fire by rubbing sticks. Does this mean there wasn't always magic around? Because why else would there be a need to know how to do this or even knowledge that it could be done? Though, I suppose if you didn't have fire magic or know someone who did you'd still have to be able to make a fire through conventional means. And the arc after this has been talking about “the origin of magic”. Hmm. Edolas Lucy is even more scary than the real one! And I love that outfit! Mild-mannered Natsu is hilarious too! And all the other versions, oh my god hahaha. Mirajane the same. Well, she already had a personality shift, heh. Edolas Lisanna. T__T Noo don't leave. D: Nooo Lucy don't cut your hair! D: Besides, we don't need to be able to tell you apart with that if you have different outfits! Edolas Lucy wants to be bossed around. <3 I always thought using the same VA for Makarov for the King was simply an ill-thought out oversight. But he's supposed to be his counterpart? I mean, he's tall instead of short, and his way of going about it his horrible, but he did what did for his kingdom, his people, 'his children', if you will. Maybe. But, then who was Fairy Tail's master that died? That one cat's constant clawing at the air is annoying. Okay, so, I can understand why the Exceeds Queen and advisers did some of those things, but basically encouraging racism? Not sure that was necessary. Making the cute little cat creatures evil as fuck also would have been an interesting take, but this show doesn't typically go that route. Very few just straight up pure evil villains. And forgiveness and redemption is a big part of the series. Before knowing the full story, it almost made me want to root on the Edolas Kingdom for rebelling against the Exceeds, but the way they were going about it... definitely not a case of the enemy of the enemy is my friend! Rofl Gajeel wants a cat too. Reporter Gajeel is still pretty cool, and a pea in the pod with our Gajeel. Chain Dragon Cannon they meant literally! I thought it would be like a rail gun or something. Wasn't sure how it was going to aim! That guy's name is actually Sugar Boy. And how the hell is he sliding on the floor like that! Wendy's roar is so cute! Assistance and healing magic! <3 Another fake Dragon. Emphasis on the word fake. As powerful as it may be, it's not a real one. But still didn't go down easy! Erza vs Erza. You don't get a battle much more intense! Rofl evil villain Natsu. This is great! Okay Erza I can see. And the others weren't evil so much as kinda dicks. But the king having a change of heart? Don't know about that. Then again, like I said before, thought he was doing the right thing. Okay I'm pretty sure they won't see the Edolas crew EVER AGAIN. But if so, damn. They will be missed, either way! Wait a minute, Lisanna didn't actually die, but was sent to Edolas?! Can't say I saw this coming. But, she was clearly beaten to a pulp after her brother went berserk. It's been a while but I don't remember her fading away like that. Did the scene cut off before that point? If so, at the time I probably didn't think anything of it and possibly thought wizards just disappear like Jedi when they die or something. Maybe it's a retcon, I don't care! I'm just happy that Lisanna is back! T___T Edolas Mirajane and Elfman knew she wasn't their Lisanna all along waaaahaaahaaa. In any case, Lisanna surely didn't “die” for no reason. This is going to have ramifications. I'm not going to get comfortable and have my hopes up that she's safe, either. That will make the later pain less horrible, lol. Also the fact of how things changed while she was gone and now she comes back to things as they are. It's going to cause issues. One I'm especially thinking of is Lucy. Lisanna is like an angel. She can't compete with that. I have a feeling there's going to be some heartbreak coming up no matter what happens. Everyone seems to be adjusting the new normal of Lisanna being alive fairly quickly. And Elfman and Mirajane didn't even question it. I know they had a big celebration and everything, and maybe they're all just happy she's back. Still, I think I would be out of sorts for a while there. Haha, just going a bit into the new arc, I can see that Carla's power will be about as useful as Troi's empath ability. I know it would be too powerful and render everything meaningless otherwise, but it's still funny. Did Loke go back to his old character design? What the heck?

Or it was going to anyway and we're getting one less premiere. Either way, we've now got a rerun smack dab in the middle of the premieres. Yes, Shippuden is horrible, but it's still technically "new" content. Umm the process was not over yet. NOT OVER YET. Meaning they didn't wait for it to be complete before going ahead and jumping the gun and setting everything up and planning it all out for the show to air, assuming things would go a-okay. With how much they like to keep close to the vest and supposedly make sure all the ducks are in a row and we can't tell you this yet blahblahblah they go and pull this? Seriously? Not just me, they let down all of the fans. Problem is it's been far less than 100%. Remember when they didn't even know InuYasha's rights were expiring? They had ONE JOB. That's the crack team we've got running things. I mean, they're doing a better job than ASA, but that's not saying much. Point is, Toonami is held to a higher standard.

Pretty good shot too to not kill her and/or detonate the bomb.

Delusions of grandeur for sure. Not a big surprise to see that Goda is pulling the strings and nudging things along. Almost makes you wonder if allowed the Major to break in. Japan during the Cold War? Eh? Just a cyborg but still that was pretty gory. Yup, shit has officially hit the fan.

That's some technobabble if I ever heard any.

I dunno issuing a warning could stir up a lot of fear too.

Umm that's still a lot of suspects.

Why didn't they think of this earlier?

But... there's another Trunks right there, with purple hair. The fuck.

Guess that explains all the jokes about him during this series.

I'm hoping it's Avdol somehow actually. T__T

Apparently. I need to watch the other Lupin shows rofl.

The fuck, haha.

1. Speaking of tonight's episode, even Lee? I have a hard time imagining that. 2. Wouldn't that make Zabusa a pedo? Not much of an improvement, haha. Definitely some homoerotic stuff going on there, though, with Naruto thinking Haku was a pretty girl. 3. Haha god damn. That's hilarious. Kishimoto officially worse than crack shippers. Well DBZ did have gay characters, such as they were. Definitely terrible, including for the relationships depicted -

Ah hell, McDougal has a caster too! What the fuck is wrong with Harry? He's even crazier than before! Grown in a lab? Pretty sure he just made that up. Yes, go to the Galactic Layline already!

Didn't know Melfina was a BIO android. Wow what an uplifting hopeful religion. But yes Gene has gotten a bit side-tracked. XGP and Melfina finally explained. McDougal, not exactly the most threatening villain name.

VCRs and TVs too. Not communication devices, but still, the world is inconsistent and unclear, lol.

Why are they wasting this animation on this?

Well, since it's a fictional universe, it could be argued that gay people simply don't exist in it. Not that that makes it much better. But, there was the Naruto x Sasuke fangirl tease kiss in the first episode, and the way the characters reacted... Literally every character, you sure? I did hear some couples were random as fuck with no build up, haha. Also not sure you want to see what a gay character would be like under Kishimoto's writing, haha.

With those power lines, why do they need messengers?

FUUUUUUUUUCK

It's called life, Mochi.
