Attack On Titan Season 2 Finale (#37) Discussion
ben0119 replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Dat animation. Dat bgm. Historia has gone into full badass mode! So it looks like you can't transform if you're not fully healed. Ah hell. Now the drunk guy is dead. Why the hell did you turn away from the kiss, Eren! Eren can command Titans now? Deus es Machina much? Coordinate? The hell. Connie's mom is ugly haha. Well, the Titans are people. But I don't think ALL humans can turn into Titans. Oh great, Hohenheim is working for the Titans. -
It was a looooooong time ago when Supreme Kai felt mysterious and menacing at the tournament. Gohan and Kai, both down and out. Didn't Goku and Krillin do that blurry leg running when they were kids? TRUNKS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! Dabura is right, but Babidi won't listen to reason. The song in this Coke commercial is fucking annoying.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 26 Discussion

Beerus and Whis with some 4th Wall breaking criticism. > Pride prevents team work! At least the fighting is decent in this episode. Hahaha Goku bites his tail. Frieza - You bastard! Pretty sure Frieza was supposed to go back to his final form here. Frieza with some criticism Goku too. Stop being merciful and overconfident! Frieza is too dangerous to be left alive! You know this already! -
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And you can't have epic character returns and reveals of new abilities, etc if they aren't out of the picture for a while. Besides, those other characters are actually good, interesting and entertaining to watch. Going from Kurapika to Gon and Killua feels like punishment.
-
It's basically like if you had spin-offs all in one show, with casts taking turns. It's not a very conventional or appreciated way to tell a story. And it's a bit of a problem when characters are annoying and/or you don't give a shit about them. Nobody wants to be watching The Next Generation and then all of a sudden it's like NOPE TIME TO WATCH ENTERPRISE NOW.
-
That's not what all the fanboys said. The people that were up-selling this show and telling everyone to "keep watching it gets better" said this was the definitive version and the superior to 99 version in practically every way.
-
Good to hear. I'm still done with the show, though. Way too frustrated and exasperated with it. As I've said before, it's telling that this show managed to force me to break my years-long self-imposed completionist rule. Hahahahaha oh god. It's like the episode where they went hunting for a retro console. >
-
I've leveled plenty of other criticisms against Hiatus. Don't act like you haven't seen them. And I don't think what I've just said isn't damning, either. But, even if it didn't drop supposed main characters for hundred plus episodes, the show is just too good at generating viewer apathy.
-
In the 30-something episodes Hiatus was treading water waiting to "get good," someone could have watched Cowboy Bebop and FLCL. Think about that. It's inexcusable. Oh, I heard over and over how HxH was a "slow burn" and "totally gets good later we promise!" Well, I watched for a good long while, putting up with the show when lots of people would've dropped it, and not only did it not get better, it managed to make me not care about any of the characters anymore, the few that I did like a bit, at least. The episodes of Gon and Killua chopping people in the back were the last straw for me. I don't think I've ever seen a show more dull and tedious.
-
No, but the middle picture is from the time skip at the end of DBZ, so yeah, she will start to look like that when she gets older. Still not sure how this time skip figures in with Super though.
-
I dunno, I like his character designs. And there's only so many faces you can draw in general. That's the whole reason anime characters have unusual hairstyles and hair colors. It was done to set them apart from each other more. Either way, not sure why you care what Mai looks like, since she's barely in the show. It's also conceivable she looked like this when she was a child. The one I get a kick out of is Marron, who looks like Krillin as a small child, but at some point starts to look like 18 as she gets older.
-
Too little, too late. It took what, 40-something episodes to "get good?" It reminds me of applecountry who always used to tell us JUST WAIT TIL EPISODE 75 WHEN SHIPPUDEN GETS AWESOME! And the fact one of the supposed main characters of the series disappears for a hundred episodes is hilariously bad.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 25 Discussion

Yes but we all know Toonami wanted Crystal. They typically go after the most current version of whatever thing they're after. This is why they got Kai instead of the original DBZ, and only had OG Naruto for 50 episodes as a stopgap til they could get Shippuden. -

But Frieza was a gifted prodigy who never trained a day in his life before! So can you imagine how much stronger he could get after training when what we saw before was just his natural inborn strength?! Hey, it's far from the most BS explanation we've gotten for something in Dragonball before. -

And yet you cried when Hulu outbid Toonami for Crystal. -
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So, apparently, Kurapika is not in Hiatus anymore after the last episode. That's some great writing right there! > I'm sure glad I stopped watching when I did, especially since him and Leorio were two of the few redeeming qualities of the show. Nevermind that the show squeezes every last ounce of caring you have about anybody long before this point, but still.

She's a good character trapped in a bad show. D:

Naruto Shippuden Episode 165 Discussion
ben0119 replied to StarPanda's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Pain, you're cracked. Ok so I guess cutting to that Anbu right as lady frog and Pain were talking about the real Pain meant nothing and was coincidental. THAT'S the real Pain?! And why the hell would you just cut to him like that, instead of having someone discover him? Shitty way to a do a reveal, especially after how long this has been built up. -

ben0119 replied to StarPanda's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
So, Pain didn't know about Nature Energy? Guess he doesn't know everything after all! Maybe if that Anbu had done his job, Shizune wouldn't be dead. Wait a minute is the real Pain that Anbu? Doesn't explain why the other ones were worthless though! Chakra frequency?! Get the hell out of here with that bullshit. Ah hell, he got the toad master. -

Lupin the 3rd (Part 4) Episode #4 Discussion!!
ben0119 replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Izuru you've gained a lot of weight! You know those bullets could go through that guy and hit you right? Lining up in a circle around him isn't such a good idea. He shoots an avoids vital areas to put people on unconscious life support? Oh come on. Even avoiding vital areas, you could still die, and what's the guarantee they fall unconscious? At least say there's some kind of poison or drug involved! I like this doctor. Toothaches are the worst. -
For sure. And now it wants to have this giant badass evil ghoul organization facing off against the elite Doves in an epic war! You can't have it both ways, show! We're supposed to be sympathetic to the ghouls, but most of them we see are evil, so.... Not only that, but even before all this Aogiri nonsense, the Anteiku ghouls were only ever portrayed as the exception to the norm.
-
Soooooo is there ever going to be any explanation for why Kaneki joined Aogiri? Or why they would allow it?! Oh look, a masked character we know nothing about revealed her face and she looks nothing like anyone already seen. OoooOOOOOooooOoooOOOOO! Are there no post-credits comedy shorts for this season, or are they being cut now for some reason?
