True. And I did mention the degrees of separation with it being an anime/manga and not live action, the fact you're not seeing Watsuki himself onscreen. It's not like with an actor etc. Still, I don't know that I could ever put it out of my head whenever I try to watch or read it again. Maybe that will change with time. I don't know. Really makes me wish I hadn't dragged my feet with reading the manga though. I dunno I see most people as being pretty unforgiving of owning child porn. Though if they aren't aware of it and don't even know much about the creator, if anything, like it would be with many people, it obviously wouldn't be an issue. I mean, believe it or not, a lot of people don't look into creators or behind the scenes stuff. They don't care. They consume the content and that's enough for them. I just looked. The news about Watsuki's arrest is the first thing below the wikis and MAL page. And right underneath that is the announcement about the new manga going on hiatus. So yeah it's only once on the page but it's pretty prominent and hard to miss. Well there's obviously going to be a development. The cops have incontrovertible evidence, and Watsuki basically admitted to his guilt.

Shows can still have good art and animation these days, but modern day Toei is notorious for being cheap and lazy, and other studios just suck.

Maybe not but it's still a waste of money. Other shows have been associated with Adult Swim and they didn't go back and get them. Once Trigun was gone it was gone, along with 6 other shows they lost the rights to in that year. They showed Final Act to finish things for InuYasha fans that hadn't moved on in the intervening years, but didn't get the original InuYasha back. With 167 episodes it makes for better back-end filler than the same 26 episodes shown a thousand times over. They also lost the rights unexpectedly because they didn't even know how much longer they had it. That's morbid incompetence right there. I bet they had a giant doomsday clock counting down to Bebop's rights expiring, though. Even FMA wasn't renewed, Demarco saying it was given its due and time to move on... but we can't do that with Bebop for some reason. "You and other people in the folder" aren't justification for airing Bebop. Also you can watch it via DVDs, Blu-Rays, or streaming services. You don't have to depend on Toonami to watch it. If you wanted to watch it that bad you'd have done that. Umm, those reruns were taken off precisely because they were doing shit ratings, Bebop included. Thats one happens when you run the same shows into the ground over and over. I'm allowed to get tired with certain things being oversaturated. Trust me I love zombies but sometimes enough is enough. No matter how much you like something you'll eventually get sick of it.

Thread was a joke thread obviously but yeah Roshi always gets his comeuppance for his behavior. Mochi mark spoilers please, jeez.

Why are you doing that instead of One Piece?

Shouldn't have do that since I always have to bring it up every time Ranlsa or some other fanboy or fangirl gets into a butt-knot over my stance on this topic. HAHAHAHA. Nothing was more hilarious than when Demarco pounced on those HD tapes as soon as he could and then got slapped back down to the ground when it got canceled like 3 episodes into the run along with the rest of the ASA dead horses. So it would actually be quite satisfying if they never got to air the rest. Not really sure they are getting their money back with how shitty the ratings are and worthless the ad revenue is, either. WATCH BEBOP AND REVERSE MORTGAGE YOUR CATHETER! Because it's the principle of the thing. The show is being run into the ground to the tune of an all-night rerun as Demarco continues to indulge himself.

Goda you evil bastard. Spooked that guy into shooting those refugees. Unfortunate that Section 9 opened fire right after that though. That's right they were decoys. That asshole.

Lol does this guy think he's James Bond? Shady-ass government is shady. Speak of the devil. It's Goda. Don't want to provoke the refugees? Little late for that. Hahaha Bato.

I haven't watched it in that much time or longer, and the fact it is airing again... irks me. You don't have to watch something to be sick of it either. For a while there zombies were getting oversaturated to the point where I was just like, ENOUGH! It made me wish Warm Bodies would become the Twilight of zombies and taint the genre to such a degree that nobody would want to touch it for years. I didn't watch but a fraction of the zombie stuff going on in that time but that degree of running it into the ground in every fashion possible made me not want to have anything to do with it. And no I'm never watching The Walking Dead. I didn't get earnestly back into Zombie related media until ZombiU and only then because it was an honest to goodness survival horror game where you get to explore and pick apart your surroundings. Even if I'm not watching Bebop it is still airing. Budget and airtime being wasted, me wondering what else could have been. I'm not even allowed to put it out of my mind thanks to Demarco's obsession. And I can't so easily ignore it since I want to watch the things on either side of it; it's a conscious decision to change the channel before I feel disgust at their "next time" for Bebop. It's the principle of the thing.

I dunno, they got Outlaw Star. Point is, money was wasted on their fetish that could have been put to better use elsewhere. I'm not watching it. Most other people don't want to watch it either. Or did you forget when Toonami got cut in half thanks to Bebop and the other dead horse albatrosses being endlessly run into the ground by ASA and later Demarco? WHO are they playing this for besides themselves?

Do bullet proof vests not exist in the future? I should've known that guy wasn't just a random bar patron. Gene you should have just shot him you dumbass. This guy has too gadgets in his bag of tricks. Laylong isn't dead? Hazanko wants to meet Gene? Mask already removed!

Aisha playing a waifu simulator rofl.

New faction huh? They sound scary. Why do these guys have it for Gene? Chi line? His shadow could loom over their path? I'd say you're fucked this time Gene. Gene you asshole.

Not under Kishimoto's writing haha. It just amounts to her throwing a bunch of shit.

You're surprised? You're telling me you gave no thought to how this weapon would actually be used when you made it old man?! Maybe Sakura could use her she-hulk strength to sling it around. Wow this is like the most Tenten has done... ever. Lol.

Wow you can't get much lazier than these character designs. Uhh.. EVERYTHING has a weak point.

Sad thing is Kishimoto didn't even really give the filler writers much to work with here. I think that guy has the same VA as one of the frogs ugh.

I still find it hard to believe this show "needed" this much filler.

It's another filler episode, but at least it takes place in the present! AW FUCK! YOU'RE JUST NOW EXPLAINING HOW TENTEN'S POWER WORKS IN THIS RANDOM ASS SHIPPUDEN FILLER?! This guy is a crackpot. You mean you're worthless, Tenten? We already knew that.

Time for the buzz kill of the night. This show kills the flow so bad it's not even funny.

Anybody know what happened there?

Lupin's poor car. Reflecting the bullets like that? Come on. The phone not being under warranty is his concern? Yeah that fatass will stop the train tipping over for sure. Rofl that Zenigata actor. Oh my god Rebecca in that dress! "I'm taking you tonight - Lupin the Third" Oh my Uhh.. ok then. Not sure what was up with that.

Jigen chilling and eating the sushi Lupin missed out on, watching the chase on the news. You keep that up you're going to run out of bullets. There ya go.

What's with the cg animation in this episode?

Wait are we seeing the real event that the movie was based on or did she get kidnapped on a train AGAIN? ROFL Rebecca got kidnapped by an obese otaku fanboy!
