  1. Ok that birthmark totally wasn't a thing until now. Dio took over Jonathan Joestar's body that bastard! Awesome opening to the arc. Can't wait for the rest. No OP or ED?
  2. Lol, I like how even the fat guy has ridiculous muscles. "They took the Jo from the first and last name and combined them. Pretty lame." Jotaro and his mother have a lovely relationship. What are you all staring at? Abdol, huh? He's got a spirit too! So that's why they're called a Stand! Nice.
  3. Never a good sign when Buu is steaming. Love when we see the planet from space for epic moves. Why didn't Vegeta back off instead of trying to withstand the blast? And why is that one arm in particular so damaged? The Supreme Kai? Oh noes! Goten, so adorable.
  4. Vegeta is so badass here. Love that flying knee. Beautiful animation. I can't believe I only thought of this recently but why do characters wait for their opponent to emerge from dust clouds or rubble piles to make sure they are defeated when they can sense their energy?
  5. Argh. I fell out of habit of watching Pre-Flight every week after I had some life stuff happen around November last year. I remember seeing a thread talking about a schedule change but I didn't think it was coming up this soon. At least I already know what happens and saw a better version, thanks to the movie. I'll have to catch up later. *sigh*
  6. Yes, that's why you said things like YOU DON'T DESERVE PITY and criticizing me for shit I can't help. Though a lot of that's not even true, by the way. Saying I can't relate to normal human relationships because Gundam Unicorn is full of garbage characters. : Because people on that show act so realistically. It's not melodramatic or full of naive idealistic bullshit at all.
  7. Never said that. I forget it exists until someone else brings it up, etc. I honestly forget it even comes on. I'm ready for Lupin then I'm like AW FUCK.
  8. THE FUCK?! My DVR said Super wasn't starting til 10:30!
  9. Also that anti-autistic bigotry abounds and is apparently acceptable. I love how Asperger's went from being something nobody ever heard of to being routinely hated. Just goes to show that you, Top_Gun and your ilk are the same as plenty of other people I've dealt with in my life. You're just like aaaaaallll the rest. It's sad, really. Not sure why I keep expecting more from people when they continue to disappoint me. I noticed that elfie liked the post(s) too. *shakes head* Oh, and refusing to acknowledge Hunter x Hunter as the Citizen Kane of anime makes me a fool apparently. :D :D :D Sorry, but I'm not sugar-coating my views for you or anyone else.
  10. Goes to show how horrible Hiatus is that it forced me to break my completionist streak!
  11. But, they RUINED MY BIRTHDAY! And like I said, doesn't seem like I was missing much. Stuff is nasty.
  12. I used to like their stuffed crust pizza. It was my favorite thing. So, since that boycott I didn't have any stuffed crust pizza for a long time until I was able to buy some store bought stuff, like Digiorno's. However, last time I had it, it wasn't very good. They must have changed their recipe. But, since then, I've been able to get stuffed crust pizza from Little Caesar's. Their deep dish and their regular are great. There's also Domino's, Papa Murphy's, plenty of other options, for pizza in general. We had a local mom n' pop pizza place here and I had been meaning to go there for a while but never got around to it and it has since closed, sadly.
  13. Pretty sad they needed be taught that same lesson twice. The last time they moved everything up 30 minutes the ratings took a hit, and as viewers never adjusted to the change, it forced them to move everything back. This is why I've always insisted that if they want to change when Toonami starts or ends to just add or remove shows from either end. So just as they re-learn one lesson they've forgotten another. Also goes against their "don't make any big schedule changes" thing they once lived by. This doesn't bode well.
  14. Nope. You notice I haven't said anything about Hiatus in months. But, when I see weakness, I go in for the kill. Such is the case now. Also, Hiatus and Togashi have been filed in the same category for me as Pizza Hut. I've been boycotting them since 2002 for ruining my birthday. We tried to use some coupon and the manager lady went ballistic. Even recently had some of their pizza, as I have very rarely when OTHER people get it, and it's fucking disgusting. Maybe it always was and I didn't notice, or it got worse, I don't know. Either way, fuck Pizza Hut. Haven't seen Yu Yu Hakusho since it originally aired on Toonami and had been wanting to re-watch it for a while but I don't think I ever will now since it will just make me think of Hiatus. I don't want a single penny of my ad revenue getting back to Togashi either.
  15. Which shows? I am tolerating Super because I have hopes it will improve once it gets past the Frieza arc. Plus it hasn't been all bad. Liked the slice of life episodes and the Beerus adaptation was alright. Still recommend the movies over both Arcs though. I love DBZ/Kai so of course I will continue to discuss it. Attack on Titan I don't particularly like but don't particularly hate and I am somewhat interested in what happens even if I am not the biggest fan. JoJo is replacing it though and I LOVE that show. Tokyo Ghoul is definitely in so bad it's good territory. You could teach a class on how bad it fucks up at being anime, or a story, in general. Plus Toka is another good character (relatively speaking) trapped in a bad show. So yeah there is entertainment value here, which is more than could be said for Hiatus. I got so frustrated and exasperated with Hiatus that I made the unthinkable decision of breaking my years-long self-imposed completionist rule of watching every Toonami/ASA show and non-toyetic TV anime I can. Heaven's Tower was the last straw for me. Lupin was never my favorite show or anything and I wasn't hugely excited for its announcement but I always enjoyed it a decent amount and its upbeat fun nature is a breath of fresh air to the block right now. Naruto has been going downhill for a while and has been an abomination for the most part post-timeskip, with a few bright spots and arcs. I continue to watch and discuss it to see just how bad the trainwreck will get and if it lives up to its infamy (hasn't disappointed). So yeah the show used to be good and I was invested in some of the characters so I'll keep watching to see what happens and to witness the horribleness for myself and try to enjoy the few good moments. So yeah I am a completionist in general and that extends to Toonami. There's also the fact the lineup used to be great and I believe it will be again. I'm a patient man. But, even my patience has its limits, and Hiatus exceeded them. There's also a big difference between sitting through a single season show I can't stand and sitting through a 150 ep show I can't stand.
  16. Actually, they're pro-Hiatus, but their reviews keep me aprised of its continued failures. When it comes to Unicorn's suckery though, they know their shit.
  17. Hahaha oh yeah. Oh god, yeah. Surprised they didn't play the quiet game. Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. Everyone just rolls with everything. For sure. Yeah. And yet the jail exists! > Exactly. Yugioh, JoJo, Hellsing, they're all full of nonsense. But they're fun, entertaining. This show, like you said, is about as boring and tedious as it gets. Can you imagine the Zoldycks in JoJo or Hellsing? Some crazy shit would be had. Some fun, some lulz, some action. Here, they just have some "wacky" interactions with each other and Gon. Mostly they just sit or stand around.
  18. So you ragequit, then? Fair enough. Fuck that "comedy" cancer too, by the way.
  19. The hosts of Toonami Showdown are Gods Among Men. You shut your mouth. Well, the more people that agree with me, the more right I am. It's like a spirit bomb of rightness. Naw but, that hasn't been my go-to defense, if you were paying attention. Pretty sure I gave actual examples of things in the show as I experienced them of why the show sucked.
  20. Obviously I don't agree with that. And if you believed that, then why did you continue to follow the series? Following something you hate is illogical. Just drop it. And the two that liked your post never followed Bleach anyway so not sure why they're chiming in.
  21. Hiatus is prolonging the issue by its continued existence on the block. I won't be satisfied until it's gone in two years and a worthy show can take that slot. Just hoping it gets canceled and I don't have to wait that long. Besides, I can't let the show get away with things, like this recent hilarious development or Kurapika not being in the show anymore. Hiatus is to the point of parody with stuff like this. Maybe that's what it is, and that's what I'm "not getting." The whole show has just been a big joke this whole time!
  22. I said well more than "I don't like the series." I gave examples and explanations, arguments. I never said no one else likes it. Actually I've never heard of anyone say Eureka Seven AO was good lol. Oh, I can, but Top_Gun seems to think there are OBJECTIVE SCIENTIFIC TRUTHS in the realm of entertainment. >
