From the beginning they said they were paying for shows by the episode. Don't know if this changed later on. Either way, One Piece wasn't justifying the costs to keep it on the air, clearly. And yeah 150 episodes is not bad. Can't say One Piece didn't get a second chance. Not really sure where you're getting some of this from, especially when there's public information to contradict it. Those shows definitely ARE off-limits due to having exclusivity on certain streaming platforms. That doesn't just mean it can't be on another streaming service. It can't be anywhere else period. It has nothing to do with this Japanese company nonsense you just pulled out of your ass. Now, they probably do have to negotiate with them in some cases to a certain degree, and we know this happened with Gundam. You are right that it's easier to continue a business relationship than make a new one, regardless of who they are working with, American, or Japanese. They perhaps haven't been interested in anything Sentai has as of late, or other shows took precedence. Don't read too much into things. And what is Anime Strike? The Aniplex gap isn't anything to read into either, and I can assure you SAO III is coming!

Yeah, we already knew One Piece bombed, and Demarco already confirmed that multiple times a long time ago. Pretty obvious that if a show is a Hulu or Netflix exclusive that they can't touch it. Still unfortunate.

Shows what you know. It was one of my favorites. Watched it many times but had my fill eventually. No matter how much you like something you eventually get sick of it. It's wasting time, money, and resources. I'm not going to watch but the fact is I know it is. It's the principle of the thing. And they continue to squander opportunities in favor of continually running Bebop into the ground. 2 year break after over decade nonstop airing ooooo. Just think what else we could have instead of Bebop. Like how a slot was SQUANDERED on Samurai Champloo. So yes Demarco's endless spam-trolling of Bebop ofends me.

Peewee Herman was caught masturbating... in a porn theater.

I can't. So yes, it's on me, but it's more on Watsuki for buying child porn. There's also a cut-off for separating the art from the artist. It's not like he shoplifted or something.

Havent seen it and his stuff doesn't interest me. Butcha hipster arthouse shit. You keep saying "most people" when I'm pretty sure you just mean yourself. And I doubt it will be most anyway. Thing is if it's in the back of my mind it's in my mind. Would be one thing if I could completely put it out of there, but I can't. So with that presence it ruins it for me. I've never gone back and watched Chris Benoit matches. He was excellent at his craft and one of my favorites, but I don't care. He murdered his family. I basically don't think about him at all anymore and he essentially doesn't nor ever existed for me now. If someone brings him up only then do I know of him. So, I probably just won't think about Kenshin anymore, as sad as it is. Was one of my favorites and I never even got to finish it. But I won't be able to purge it from my mind, what the author did, while I try to consume the series. In 30 years people will Google the series or its author and this will be the first thing that comes up. My opinion of the series that it's a classic and a masterpiece doesn't change but I'll never be able to experience it the way I did before. It will always carry this baggage for me.

Update on that story from a while back on that dying fan that sent Kubo a letter of encouragement that stopped him from giving up on continuing the series. He was able to get in touch with the sender, who was a friend of the boy's staying in the same hospital. https://kotaku.com/bleach-manga-creator-and-a-fans-dying-wish-1821249595 Sad but heartwarming and uplifting at the same time.

I'll be interested to see that. Hopefully it gets localized. Hope Kubo is well and has healed up.

Oh, so it wasn't a single episode deal. Thanks guys. For a minute I wondered if the rando on the platform was her hubby who managed to fake his death and she ran off with him. Couldn't remember.

I got that part, but I thought it was an electric company. And the way Togusa and Aramaki were talking made it sound like the company was being busted, since they figured everything out. So the government is really that evil?

That doesn't sound right. Usually the eps wrap up with the perps being brought to justice. So they got away this time?

Yeah it's pretty funny given everything else in this show.

Weren't they already busted though?

Also that cell phone looks very old for this futuristic world lol.

Wait so what just happened there?

She didn't pick the best thing to wear for this.

I wish we could know more about the history and back story of this world. We have hints and ideas but not really the full picture. That lady is really dumb. Those prosthetic body requirements are bullshit.

Thought that was some Buddhist or Confusious stuff.

Haha what the hell. Crashed the ship through the station. And what a satisfying punch! New ED?

The guy said exactly as planned earlier. Aisha would hate Light too lol.

Well he's certainly no thief with honor like Lupin

Why not cut both at the same time? If it's done with a robot it could be perfectly timed...

Melfina - You know, you should not aggravate a terrorist. She's developing a sense of humor.

I wish I could do that to people that aren't on screens lol. This guy is like a villain from old action movies. Umm there's no way the crew can do all that. Those are crazy demands. What a shitty viceroy. How did Melfina pop out of the pod instantly dressed like that?
