They should've just left them the way they were. That's stupid.

The two are tied together. Not sure what your point of bringing up Fairy Tail is. And again, even if no romance were included, it beleaguers belief that no one so much as has a pulse around these women.

That's fucking stupid, if true. ODA IS RACIIIIISTT!!!!! No seriously, he only has one color for coloring people in his color spreads. Regardless of facial and body features, and what he's stated that should tell us otherwise, everyone has the same skin color. Makes me wonder if that clown that 4Kids made white to make him less offensive would've looked that way anyway in an Oda-drawn color spread LOL. Whatever the reason, it's lame. Kind of stupid for the anime to revert their skin colors after the timeskip, too.

I've got character design spoilers. Besides, Robin already dresses like a prostitute as it is. And don't tell me this escaped your notice - Besides, Robin's already like 30. Nami, I can see, but it doesn't make any sense for Robin's boobs to get bigger. Unless maybe Sanji is putting something in their food...

They will be. They... will be.

Toonami Show Rundown 121 - My Finale - 2/18/17 Intro - Toonami Squad? Who is this Grexeno nerd? Neogaf has an infamous enough reputation as it is. NO YOU ARE THE BEST! More listeners to be had on soundloud or itunes, or what? I don't use either of those. Guess I will use whatever iTunes isn't, because that's garbage. Anyway this doesn't sound like that big of a change. Not sure about changing the name of the show TWICE though. Sketch defected? Good. He's the only good part of the Faithful podcast. Yeah kind of a shortsighted that Sketch isn't actually here for this announcement... News - Wow really? That sucks. How do you fuck up a Blu-Ray so bad? Who the fuck is Anchor Bay? Yeah, they're idiots. Don't block people. Fix your shit! Congrats, on going to the world premiere of Jack, Syon. Isn't Origin the new retelling of Moble Suit Gundam? Oh... well that won't help much then. Yeah Demarco's whole PERMANENT GUNDAM SLOT declaration has come back to bite him in the ass. Eh nobody would have cared if Toonami hadn't gotten Sunrise to play ball. It was a Gundam embargo before Toonami negotiated things. Whole Big O series? Will it have the Queen OP? Sunrise uncooperative? Shocking. Haha you don't have to hear a Sentai dub. YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! What is the point of changing the name now though? NASCAR was Winston and Busch Cups for years now it's always something fucking different. I haven't really watched since Dale Earnhardt died, but still. Technically Demarco will probably try to run Trigun at some point. At least it hasn't been on the air in years, though. NOOOO EVERYTHING THAT EVER AIRED AT LEAST ONCE IS A TOONAMI SHOW! I can claim Robotech that way. I don't even remember what DICE is. Embedded double acronym?! Don't give them any ideas. Plus that would be ratings suicide. Hey the Broly movies are good. The first one at least. Still haven't seen the others. Jet Siegel... Okay I have no idea what the fuck Stormhawks is. I googled it just now and nothing is coming back to me. Dragonball Super - The Bulma moment was played up more and done even better than it was in the movie. It IS a momentous moment for Vegeta. Pretty obvious it would be a big deal anway, given Bulma was struck by a super-powered villain. Even Piccolo is like "don't waste your life." Dragonball Seinfeld. Going after widows rofl. I'm REALLY surprised they didn't just recycle the animation from the movie and just put new stuff in between, honestly. Toei was surprisingly unlazy here. Bulma is okay with siccing Vegeta on people. Not really sure it was a good idea to up the power levels so much again. GT had the right idea with rebooting power levels by making Goku a kid... that didn't last, of course. Still GT and Super both should have been more about the next generation instead of just focusing on Goku and Vegeta again. What's wrong with his voice? I don't remember that part at all. Old man milk carton? The fuck man. Dragonball Z Kai - I don't know why they didn't tell Goku about Goten. The Android 18 stuff is hilarious. "I always thought you were bald." "How do you have a kid with a robot?" "Where do you live?" What sucks is that Videl has a power ceiling since she's human. I love her though. Dragon Team? It's the Z Fighters! LOL coddled millenials. Briefs are already famous. My dad can beat up your dad hahaha. Well, the story should advance to the next generation or at least focus on them more. Uhh pretty sure Videl's mom died. Read that on the Dragonball wiki or something I think. Not adopted... she has the same eyes and hair color as Hercule. The mom is dead. Think it was said in the original DBZ... then again, we now those scripts weren't the most accurate. JoJo - ACDC killed Kenny Loggins. ACDC has emotional issues, haha. Lungs are critical to living! Hahahaha. Joseph... not sure if he was ever really scared or was acting during all that. Yeah we barely met these dudes, haha. All the vein tentacles were gross. Gundam Unicorn - I told you the anti-war stuff in Gundam is obnoxious. Amuro is a pretty big bitch. Not sure what you're talking about. He whines a ton. Mikazuki was a breath of fresh air for Gundam protagonists. Hahahahahaahaha. This Camille guy sounds like a fucking school shooter or something. He's clearly insecure. Mikazuki has pretty good justification for his slaughter. Okay Camille sounds fucking evil, hahaha. Teasing a kid because he killed his mom, wow. Zeta needs to be on Toonami just for the lulz. Whining about war is what Gundam protags do. Also shows much of a dick Full Frontal is. Just about anything is easier to follow than Unicorn is. I dunno thought the fight scenes in IBO were good. Obviously the animation and art here are prettier, but still. Newtype psychic sex thing. Weird shit. Undecided on that scene. Depends on how the girl's character turns out. Banagher wouldn't last long in IBO or Zeta. Gundam IS stupid. Zeta sounds unhinged and so bad it's good, haha. Hiatus - FLESH COLLECTOR SO EDGY AND DARK! The show putz'd around until the end and then it ended. Shocking. Kurapika was drawn and lit that way because Hiatus is so much edge. It sounds like this show would be better if Gon and Killua just plumb didn't exist and it focused on Kurapika and Leorio instead. Of course it'd still be a total sausage fest. Nen stuff came in way too late for me to give a shit. Plus it's not interesting. I also believe Hisoka's abilities specifically, his magic, should have been left to the imagination. Or he could've simply been a trickster or illusionist who combined that with his fighting ability. Naruto - She's stopped because the guy is holding the door, hahahahaha. What the fuck is with the lines on the dude's face? Horrible designs. The rain popped the bubble, hahaha. I can't take the Bubble Boy seriously either. Acid bubbles. They're HORRIBLE character designs. Naw background characters aren't this distractingly ugly. Yeah the acoustics were off for sure. It's obviously the damn jutsu tattooed on her body. *SIGH* So cliche and obvious. I dunno she's pretty cute, haha. Arc is crap, but still. Okay there's no fans of her, that's fair. Haha. A drawing of her blowing bubbles hahahaha. LOOOOOOL THEY CARE. I hate people so much hahahahahaha. Leeches... that's someone's fetish. Lovely. That's when I realized it's normal to have these thoughts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's a whole new world you've uncovered alright. Fan fiction for Guren hahahaha. One Piece - The crew that brings a smile to every child... T__T CAPTAIN PUZZLE?! YOU ASSHOLE! It said like 2 or 3 years later. It was a good moment. I don't like picking favorites, though. Yorky's still alive hahahaha. Show me the body hahaha. In One Piece yeah for sure. Heard rumors they escaped the Calm Belt. WHOA! Ian Sinclair live-tweeted the airing? Nice. We already knew Gman is coldhearted. I didn't cry either, though. I do grant it was sad, though. Block Wrap-up - First time I had seen the Samurai Jack trailers. But then I've fallen behind with things over the past few months.

God fucking damn it.

I have yet to see that, personally. But that's one of the reasons why Moose rags on it. You'd think he would want other series to follow One Piece's example, since he lauds it so much. Tch. I mean, online, I see a lot of One Piece/Fairy Tail mash-ups, so clearly there's some overlap with the fan bases...

Pffft. I've already taken everything you said on this series with a grain of salt. You said that Fairy Tail never loses which was total bullshit. I kept a whole log of losses of Fairy Tail characters, and Fairy Tail itself losing, and there were many. Plus a good deal of what else you said was wrong, like there being no inter-connectivity between arcs, no overarching plotline, no continuous storylines... So yeah, you're full of shit, as usual, Moose.

Figures I waited around so long for Fairy Tail to air on ASA and then Toonami, by the time I finally start watching it, it's about to end in the manga. Ah well, at least I know it will have a definite ending!

I kept telling myself I was going to catch up on this show and listen in order, but I would've never gotten back into it if I kept waiting for that, so I'm jumping into the current episode now, and I'll catch up on the old ones as I can. Last episode I listened to before all the bullshit happened was episode 107. Aaahhh, I feel whole again! Oh yeah. I realize few, if any of the hosts are on this board, regardless of what the user list might say, but I don't know where else to post this, and I had been posting it with the rest of this community all this time, Youtube comments are the wrong format for my commentary, and their show did originate in this community after all! Anyway, without further ado... Toonami Show Rundown 120 - What A Real Cartoonist Looks Like - 2/11/17 Intro - Dimension W sure did suck. Well this has gone on quite a tangent. Adam Sandler in what movies? FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE! You've gone down a paradoxical rabbit hole. Goku's property taxes ROFL. Hahahahaha jeez. So you still won't just give your personal favorites, eh? Dragonball Super - Vegeta was funny here. Yeah Piccolo is non-confrontational. Dancing Vegeta. "Oh yes let's go say hello to Yamcha." :D :D Yeah it seems like Beerus was about lose it several times. BROTHER! Well it's obvious the inspiration for Hercule haha. Fast-forwarding?! You betray your duty to the show! Kid Vegeta had bangs in the Bardock movie. And Nappa had hair. Which conflicts with the whole Sayian's hair never changes thing. They are unnecessary retcons. Kind of annoying but I'm not super upset about it. Self-contained and faster-paced... hmm... a different kind of Dragonball. You know, the very first Saga was kind of like that... SUPER attachment hohoho. DBZ Kai - Super big time call back! South Kai always sounded like that I thought. I miss the Other World Tournament though. So South Kai is canon?! Aww, the others aren't. Pikkon was cool, though. I liked her with pigtails too. Videl was cute that way. She still looks good though yeah. What is what that Super hair? She had to have spikey hair to join the Z Fighters! I always loved Videl. Well using chi powers was explained a loooooooong time ago. Oh god Roshi. Wait that's right he can't fly can he? It becomes second nature after a while. Wow I really don't know when Goku learned to fly. Holy shit. There's tons of flying cars in the cities. You guys must not have paid attention. Old tech still exists just like in our world. Also Toriyama probably just likes drawing stuff. Hence Krillin fighting Cell on a WWII plane or the 57 Chevy we see in town when people are running from Cell. JoJo - Having to go in for your job has count as a date rofl. Hahaha visual novel date. Pornhub free premium lmao. You guys are losing focus here. "This is madness why are you making me do this?" "How can I cheat?" Hamon Janitor HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm pretty sure it was specifically designed for its purpose. Brisk, insane, funny training is always good. Barely animated? Narrator is great. If the JoJo manga went monthly then it's REALLY never gonna end. Well Oda is ordered to take the fourth week of the month off. Sick burn indeed. Togashi's scribbles hahahaha. No bad episodes of JoJo. Gundam Unicorn - Full Frontal is a terrible name. So is Banana Jar. How dare you read it off wikipedia! Philosophy bullshit and pretentious WAR IS BAD preaching is Gundam in a nutshell most of the time. It's annoying in this show for sure. So this show is confusing for other people too. Good to hear. Yeah ridiculously dense and nothing is explained. Who is Angelo? Those masks are so stupid. Full Frontal doesn't like a character from this show. Looks like a Sailor Moon character. Char is dead. DEAD! The action would be better if we knew what the hell was going on and what suits belonged to what factions. Hard to follow for sure. Oh it doesn't help this make more sense. Plus don't watch that. Amuro is annoying. The show makes more sense when the narrator actually tells what the hell is going on in the recaps, names characters and factions. Too early to tell with Banagher maybe? Mika would one-shot Bannister. Hiatus - Yup, we had a whole episode devoted to hunting for a vintage game console. I'm good with Pat the NES Punk's Flea Market Madness. Isshin is a good dad. Haha those are comic relief beatings! Togusa is a good dad... Hiatus is always uneventful. Yes let's explore this incredibly boring and uninteresting world. Gon is a quasi-sociopath. Naruto - I don't like leeches. The fuck man. They're awful. AND THEY SUCK YOUR BLOOD! Naruto is an idiot. And so are Sai and Yamato apparently. Haha Yamato just doesn't care. LOL accidentally watched five minutes of the last episode. Benten! The filler goons look terrible. Horrible designs. I can't take the bubbles seriously. One Piece - Okay that lag wasn't on my end, haha. Poor Laboon. Yes even the damn dog had a tragic backstory. I didn't realize his first name was Calico haha. Ahhhh before the time of Gold Roger! You're right! Yeah he still had the scar before he became a skeleton. When Robin is trying to laugh in the boat. T__T Wow padding old tragic backstories with more tragedy? rofl Zoro never brought up his backstory to the crew, at least not onscreen. We saw that when he was sleeping one episode. Maybe he did say why the sword was special before. Can't remember. Ghost in the Shell - No graphic for GitS. The stripper costume never did make sense. Yeah this episode is pretty memorable. Robot tank probably not pure intentions there. Block Wrap-up - Budokai 3 was really good. I beat all three got everything in them. The old games are fun. Ultimate Battle 22. Played some of the Super Famicom ones on an emulator. Good times. Poor Tien haha. Never played the Xenoverse games. Sound cool though. Naruto game full of spoilers. Not that we care at this point. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOISE?! That was bad advice. You could throw it away when the dog is asleep. I took away this pool hackysack ball thing from my cat because was going all feral with it. Though he still does that with the furry mice toys from time to time, now that I think about it.

Whoa, that sounds pretty awesome. How is that going to work, though? John Williams would still have to know the story to know what to score, wouldn't he? Maybe read the script?

The "baggage" doesn't have to be LGBT-related. Jman just wants a hispanic heroic character representing him, but Mochi wants to hog all the representation, even though there's way more LGBT characters than non-stereotypical heroic hispanic characters. It makes it especially odd given the amount of hispanics in the general population, whereas gays make up 2-4%, at best.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with both of your posts, Luuv. Disney is very gay-friendly. They have those Gay Days at Disneyland or whatever. Openly supportive. For whatever it's worth there are gay characters in the new Star Wars books and comics. Not sure if/when we'll see any onscreen, though. I agree Luke was probably conceived of as straight, and I agree with the reasons you gave for him being swept up in everything, having greater concerns, etc. I see it just as likely that he chose not to have any romantic involvement, and focused on other things, like training the next generation of Jedi. I mean, it kind of makes sense that he doesn't have any kids. Han and Leia's kid is named after Ben Kenobi, who was much more special to Luke than either of them. Leia probably did that because Luke had no child of his own to name after Obi-wan. It makes sense.

Julio Lopez from M.A.S.K. wasn't a stereotype. He was a doctor. Also apparently Poe Dameron is hispanic, which wasn't obvious to me when I watched the movie. I've heard it said that Sabine his hispanic, but her VA and that of her family are all played by Indian-Americans. Sooo, I don't know. They are some kind of tan people, at the very least. Not sure on Ezra's ethnicity, but I'd say Persian or something since his character was basically Space Aladdin when he was first introduced. Not sure about Kanan. I've heard people say none of the main characters are white, which was a stretch to me because no one seemed especially dark to me (I certainly didn't take Sabine as hispanic until it was brought up), so I don't know.

That hispanic girl from Supergirl is gay. Her and her girlfriend's characters and their romance are well done, by the way.

What this has all taught us? Star Wars is far more interesting than Hunter x Hunter. No one can even be bothered to argue about how shitty Hiatus is anymore because it's so boring!

I like how you only quoted and responded to the part where I made the Rey Skywalker argument, and ignored the much heavier evidence I brought to Rey being an abandoned orphan. Yes Kylo Ren is Han and Leia's kid, but he's evil, and I don't see much chance of him being redeemed. So that means there's no new young Skywalker protagonist and no way to carry on the next generation. George Lucas's plans for the sequels were going to tell the story of Darth Vader's grandchildren. He actually told people that if they don't like The Force Awakens, don't blame him, because it appeared to him that Lucasfilm under Disney isn't going to have Star Wars be about that anymore. Yet, the Expanded Universe told a story about that next generation, and we still have Kylo Ren confirmed, though he's evil. Lucasfilm under Disney has stated that the Saga films (the episodes) are about the Skywalkers. That's what they always were, what they always will be. The whole point of Rogue One and future anthology films was to show us that the entire galaxy doesn't revolve around the Skywalkers. So if you want stories about other people unrelated to the Skywalkers, that's where you will get your fix... and the new comics and books, I guess. I have a hard time believing that thing about Finn. Especially after the information I've gleaned from watching various Star Wars lore videos and reading stuff online. Apparently, it's explained in some of the new books/comics that the children The First Order abducted were kids of people who worked for the Empire, pretty high quality, people, if I recall. So they were looking for "good Imperial stock", for lack of a better term. Given that, it's highly unlikely Finn is related to anyone from the original trilogy, at least not someone with any significant role. People also kind of want to make everyone related to everyone because that's what Star Wars has done this whole time. In A New Hope we met Luke and learned he was the son of a powerful Jedi. Anakin was taught by Obi-wan, betrayed by Vader. So already we have a lineage there before it was even decided that Vader was actually Luke's son. Then we learn he's Vader's kid, and so is Leia and they're siblings, and so on. Then in the Prequels we watched the story of the Obi-wan in his youth, and Luke and Leia's parents. A major part of Anakin turning to the Dark Side was the fate of his mother, wife, and children. So, Star Wars, the episodes, anyway, has always been a story of family, mainly the Skywalkers, through the generations. Though I agree that the fan speculation of making everyone absolutely related to everyone is pretty silly. Hmm, her being Han and Leia's kid is something I hadn't thought about too much. That could be it. What is there to read into, though? The way Han and Leia seem "nice" to her? And why dump her on the planet? Once again, if you take the scenes in the movie for what they are and don't overthink them, it makes it obvious that Rey always lived there, and her parents did too, at least long enough to have her and raise her to the age they left her there. Also, they wouldn't be twins because Kylo Ren is supposed to be in his late 20s or early 30s or something. He turned on Luke and the New Jedi Order when he was 23, I believe. Thing is, though, if they say Rey is related to no one, which would be all the more impressive, since again, Luke's dad was a Jedi, as humble as his beginnings might have been, it would make it so she really did come from nowhere and may probably ultimately be better for the story, it might piss off a good deal of people invested with Rey being related to someone, most likely Luke. Rian Johnson has also said he is going with his own vision and isn't doing stuff just to suit fans. So that gives me hope he won't make stuff happen in the movie just to please people with their theories. Still, we'll have to see. Personally, right now, I'm a lot more interested in what the books have hinted at as far as Snoke's origin, which sounds creepy as hell. And stop fucking calling her Rei. Edit - Also, Poe can't be related to anyone from the Original Trilogy, because we already know his parents from the new comics and books and they're new characters. Not sure why people consider him one of the "main three", though. He was a cool character but wasn't in the movie nearly enough. I hope he's featured more in The Last Jedi.

That girl is a fucking idiot. I made the mistake of watching part of her "Worst Reasons You Liked Rogue One" video... not going to make the mistake of watching more of her crap.

Mark your spoilers, boy. I'm pretty sure something is heavily implied with Zoro and Kuina/Tashigi, and Usopp with Kaya. The Veggie Pirates even alluded to it, saying something like Usopp is really lucky and should count his blessings or some shit. In was in one of those things we get every now and then where we go around the world and see what everyone is up to and/or their reaction to the Straw Hats' latest exploits. You're right that Robin hasn't been put in any such situation. I look at Luffy more as a 'big kid' than 'asexual'. I'm pretty sure that's the intent there. I remember early on he would drink milk instead of beer. That disappeared without explanation later on, though. I would hope no one is thinking about putting Franky or Brook with anyone... because eww. Actually, I bet someone is putting Franky with the 2 long nose girls he saved from alcoholism, CM Punk-style. FUCK. What possessed you to bring up Chopper, I have no fucking clue. As for Sanji, it's not just sex jokes... besides the perviness there's romance implied there, too, saying he wants to marry women and deciding things are proof that women love him. Doesn't make much sense if you want the series to not have romance, to throw inthese jokes (which have been thoroughly run into the ground at this point), hyper-sexualized characters, and then cringe-inducing lines like "I'M-INTERESTED-IN-ADVENTURE-NOT-RO-MANCE!" :

Why do you keep saying "confusing?" The confusing thing is what's going through Oda's heads, but as for the series itself, it's just hypocritical and annoying. And if there won't be actual romance, with all these hyper-sexualized characters running around, someone should at least be interested in sex! Humans reproducing! HOW GENERIC! Though I will say one thing. For years Kubo said he didn't believe in doing romance, because he believed there better and more interesting things he could do with his characters. Yet he would continue to throw hints in various directions, tease, and troll. Then at the end he timeskips over all the romance and throws characters together that never so much as held hands together before that. It felt... awkward, in some ways. I mean, you can't have that rule and then go against it at the last moment. Well, I guess he did technically not show any romance... but that makes timeskipping over all that all the more annoying. More annoying still is how he seems to have gone back on Rukia x Ichigo at the last minute and throw subtle hints and the new pairings he was planning. I'd personally rather had the series end with nobody together. Maybe we wouldn't be able to see where everyone was ten years later, but I don't think that's such a tragedy. It would have been principled, at least. And felt more natural, with how loveless the whole rest of the manga had been... besides the tragic romances that ended with one or both partners dying, of course. Actually, with no current timeline romances explicitly developed and all past ones, while done well, ended in tragedy, made you realize what Kubo thought of including it... then he does that ending anyway. I mean, I can see setting up a "next generation" sequel, but it's pretty obvious Kubo wasn't going to make a sequel... that would be left up to the fan's imaginations. SO! Why not leave the pairings or lack thereof up to the fans' imaginations?! Okay... got on a bit of a rant there...

It has to be at least 24-26, and hopefully the plot advances faster this time.
