  1. Yeah I got that, but I thought his head looked normal at the beginning. Would have to go back and check.
  2. Toonami Showdown Podcast 7/3/17 - CG Ein Intro - That's Syon? He sounds completely different. He's a muppet. Oh it IS someone else. News - Cowboy Bebop would be easy to adapt and translate to live action. But how would it live up to original series, or even come close? Everything can work in theory. Prideland. What is Hannah? I agree sounds like a bid for credibility. Why aren't copyright holders more careful!? The writer of Max Steel. Yeah getting that style down is going to be difficult. Haven't really watched SyFy since Eureka got canceled. Hasn't intersted me. Not happy with how everything went down with Eureka either. It needed more time to wrap things up. CGI Ein. Black Lagoon would be easy. FMA the whitewashing problem is already solved. They were always white. Someone complained that somebody told him dragons were in Game of Thrones?! Pretty ridiculous that they would spoil it like that. Glad I don't like Attack on Titan too much! Alright Top 3 most requested shows... *rubs palms together* My Hero Academia top requested show? There's still hype there? Hmm that appraisal of the first three episodes doesn't sound promising. And yeah once you've seen One-Punch Man already... One Punch Man Season 2. Good to hear people want it back. Fairy Tail?! HAHA I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU GMAN! Well late in the game, but if they're going to need another long-runner at some point and long-runners in general are being phased out... Yup they could've gotten Fairy Tail instead of Hiatus... Yeah it's true they don't have to replace Kai with a long-runner. Boruto please no. Dragonball Super - I read like one Jaco chapter. Had no idea about that other stuff. I call bullshit on Bulma's sister existing at all. Why would she not appear until NOW?! Yeah Dragonball is awesome. Loved the setting and the world and the lore you mentioned. Pretty sure that was meant to be a space suit for Jaco in the movie. I thought it was the old 18 voice in Kai Buu Saga. What about bringing back Cooler. Frieza knowing about Beerus and Buu obvious retcon. Kinda' annoying. DBZ Kai - From what I understand the Buu Saga is really long in the manga too so I'm not sure what all needed to be cut from the Kai portion of it. Attack on Titan - Casual reveal is different and neat. Berthold is barely even a character though. My only issue there. I don't think the R is supposed to be silent. An artifact of the Engrish, like Eureka. I forgot Berthold existed too! Hahahaha. Ymir wasn't in the show much either. You're right. Yeah I can see it making the world more realistic by having some minor characters being Titans. Tokyo Ghoul - I've wanted this show gone for a while. It's Toka's brother he will die or turn evil. That bird was annoying as hell. Yeah not sure what white hair guy's deal is. Gundam Unicorn - That giant mobile suit looked silly because the head was so small. They're shouting at each other they're symbols of things. No you aren't alone. I feel it's a trash fire too. Plenty of other folks on the boards also! Newtype bullshit hit new levels. That's not a rebuttal. Was it time travel or just observing events? Naruto - Not a good plan by Danzo. Ibiki fight is filler? Aww. Giant monster battles are cool. Here, though, yeah, they were just stomping on rubble. Block Wrap-up - Do you have anime-itis?
  3. I doubt the people working on that show have ever heard of Code Geass, let alone were referencing it.
  4. So I was right about his face melting. I wonder what's up with that.
  5. They did way more than that. They told us how the end of this fight will play out and what happens afterwards. Regardless of how few minutes into the episode that stuff may happen that's ridiculous. And trust me if this was a show I liked more I'd be making a big fuss about it. I don't think anyone needed that teaser with how great that cliffhanger was, either. But if they are going to do them (and ideally not give so much away), I agree with you that they should come right after the episode and not way later. I didn't see that commercial.
  6. How does anybody not know Toonami got both seasons? I mean, they're both already out, so why wouldn't they?
  7. Your second image is broken. Personally I like Ichigo better when he is confident and not going through one of his emo spells, but I suppose every character has to have challenges.
  8. I dunno, they were stupid enough to leave Attack on Titan in place until the block got chopped in half. Or instead of losing the 11:00pm timeslot due to their idiotic decision of putting a rerun there we could've had a new show. Now we not only won't have a new show but will probably ultimately lose that timeslot due this ASA-level stupidity.
  9. I'm not watching it. I care because it's displacing what could be a new show. Instead they are squandering the opening timeslot on a rerun and doing critical ratings damage that could cost us dearly like the last time they tried this stunt with Attack on Titan.
  10. Why don't you like Near?
  11. Yeah it's pretty disappointing they CGI'd him.
  12. Oh shit you're probably right!
  13. But he won't get any Full Frontal. D:
  14. Yeah but what the fuck was Riddhe trying to do? It seemed like that changed constantly. Pretty much nothing he did made sense. He would blather on about something, then blather on about something else and go in a completely different direction. So since he behaved obnoxiously and nonsensically, and really wasn't likable at all to begin with, not sure why I would care if he got redeemed. Besides, he killed Marida, one of the only likable characters in the show, so screw him. But it still said those people should be given preferential treatment and given prominent positions in the government. It's some kind of divine rule thing, which seems to run counter to what the show had been preaching up to that point. Everyone should be treated equally! Except these guys! They should be the masters of everyone! And why would living in space do that? I mean, I know this is supposed to be sci-fi, but I thought Gundam was usually going for a more hard sci-fi. I seem to recall one of the older series going to the trouble of explaining that mobile suits could be feasible due to some super-light alloy being developed. The space ships, tech, colonies, everything else seems to be fairly realistic and believable. So it seems silly to go to all that trouble to establish and ground the world like that and then PSYCHIC POWERS BECAUSE SPACE! I watched at least parts of the original series and Char's Counterrattack. As I said before, I don't care for Gundam in general because it gets really preachy and the characters tend to be annoying. Banagher is pretty much a crystallization and epitome of these annoying whiny characters that scream shit like WHY CAN'T EVERYONE JUST UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WAAAAAAAHAAHAAAA. So yeah I didn't tend to watch most of the series that would come on. I'd watch for a bit and it'd be annoying and I'd drop them. Only watched a couple episodes of that one on SyFy after I realized it was the same old annoying shit. There was another series that had the cliche annoying plotline of people from opposing sides falling in love. Dropped that one. Only one I watched all the way through back then was G Gundam. For the past several years I've been a completionist so I finished this show even though I didn't like it. Was the same way with IBO but I surprisingly ended up liking that one for the most part. Like I said before, IBO seemed to buck a lot of annoying Gundam tropes. So yeah I haven't watched most of these shows in their entirety to completely see the Newtype thing. Besides, the 100 seconds recap at the beginning said we didn't need to watch the other series to enjoy this one. =3 Fair enough. Would've been better to see it actually happen, though. Again, it would have been nice to actually see it. The show just cuts off right in the middle of things, instead of completing them, much less even giving us a little epilogue "where are they now" sort of thing. Oh well.
  15. Wow, way to spoil the whole next episode with that promo, Toonami!
  16. Well, this show was fucking awful. Gundam is notorious for pushing philosophy bullshit on the viewer and preaching but this show just went off the rails and became completely nonsensical. Not to mention most of the characters were annoying. Maybe. I have no idea. Even people I've heard from who liked Gundam, even UC Gundam stuff, can't stand this show. The ratings haven't been stellar, either. For me, all the pretty robot battles won't make up for characters and a story you don't care about. I liked IBO because it seemed to buck the trend of the sissy Gundam main character and shoveling preachy bullshit onto the viewer. It was the only Gundam I liked besides G Gundam. You might like that one. It's over-the-top and fun. For example...
  17. That colony laser should have killed everybody, or at least Riddhe. Banagher and several other "good guys" are annoying as fuck, but we're supposedly supposed to like them. But Riddhe? Are we really supposed to forgive all his bullshit just like that? Please. Nevermind his motivations and most of what he did made no sense, and he wasn't the only one. The box was bullshit. How was anyone supposed to know that Newtypes could come into existence before the fact? And why would anyone get special powers just from living in space? And why should they be given preferential treatment in running the government? That's some kind of divine rule bullshit. What makes you think they were taken into custody? Noa gave them some stern remarks. That's about it. I didn't see anyone get rounded up and hauled off. That was whatever. The Newtype stuff is silly. It was nice to see Marida though again, I guess. Still think her taking forever to die and give a separate parting speech to everyone as a ghost was silly, though. When did that happen? All we saw was him turn back to normal and disable the enemy fleet with some overpowered ability. The show forgot to wrap things up and give some semblance of an epilogue. Either that or the writers just threw their hands up. How much total time have Banagher and Audrey spent together anyway?
  18. And this show was supposed to make us want to watch more?
  19. But this installment didn't even end. We don't know what happened to any of the characters. They found the box and read the contents and the show was just lolthatsit.
  20. Care to summarize? Because people that have seen previous UC stuff have said the same thing. Not sure what you're basing that on. It sounded more to me like he was being insubordinate. And what of Albert? It would have been nice if we saw what happened to the characters after the fact, instead of the show just ending in the middle of it like that. It seriously feels like an episode was dropped or Toonami cut something.
  21. They're pulling the same mistake they did with Attack on Titan and I'm afraid it's going to cost us dearly again. Last week's block bombed badly in the ratings already. It's a real waste. They should've used that slot for a new show instead of just running Jack into the ground.
  22. Oh wow never realized that was him!
  23. Rasengan, really? The move that's supposed to be nearly impossible to learn let alone master, that took Naruto practically a whole arc to learn?
  24. How old is Konohamaru now?
