Do they really get that kind of food at Japanese hospitals? Who is evil glasses man? That's some really well animated eating and barfing.

What was that just now? A Ghoul vs. Obese Jason? Ok so that didn't go as I expected. With how happy and sweet everything was I was just waiting for the carnage, but I thought Kaniki and his date would get attacked. Wouldn't be surprised if dudebro friend gets attacked either. Didn't expect the date herself to be a ghoul. This innuendo... : Aside from the ridiculous inuendo, blunt symbolism and cliches, this wasn't so bad so far.

That full dive was pretty creepy. JoJo did you really fall for just grabbing the biggest crossbow? Banking shots! Hell! Ah, well done JoJo. Is Wamu finished? 12,000 years. Wow. Ultimate Mastery? What's this? For some reason Karz doesn't want him to use it. Some sort of suicide attack I'd imagine.

There's a 90% chance of my vampire horses trampling JoJo! If only he was wearing a different kind of footwear! Well played JoJo. Arms looking bad. He's out of it, but...

Never get tired of seeing Krillin bitch out this guy. Shin looking super evil haha. You know it's bad when Piccolo is losing his shit. Spopovitch looks like he's about to have a heart attack or aneurysm any minute. Oh Videl... Shin knows what's up.

Hercule, you have no idea what you're in for. The split screen with Krillin. Videl - Piccolo looks like he's about to throw up. Uh since when did Goku never lose a fight Chichi? I want to see Chichi and Bulma fight. Yamaha got off easier than I expected there.

Oh so every episode starts with that air battle sequence. Hahaha item screen, health spray. Sand Whale boss! Okay laughing sand whales was creepy. We end on peas. I never did like English peas. You shouldn't bite the spoon like that though.

Was Old Kai always this perverted? Toriyama's oversight of neglecting to include cell phones in his futuristic world is now rectified thanks to Super being a modern release. The choreography here is genuinely good. A higher level?!

Awww the old DBZ screaming haha. Why is their chi taking the form of dragons?

Why does the god form make Goku look so young? So I guess Goku can breathe in space in this form. Kibito Kai is constantly about to shit himself. Wow, those are like gravitational waves. Not good! LOL Vegeta. Aww thanks Whis. Wow old game review of MGS! Nice!

Wow Jack got the drop on them and took 2 out right odd the bat. He was prepared this time! This battle was awesome. So many good parts to it. I liked the part where it was all white with the snow and mist. Damn. They're so sheltered and and brainwashed they don't know what deer or infection are! Hahaha he just drops her. Ok I thought the prominent girl would join up with him, but maybe not. Then again Jack fell down there too and we know he's not dead.

Sounds like Ventress to me. Or did someone else already say that?

Wow, I felt like I was in those rapids. That frog scared the shit out of me. I wonder if it was another one of Jack's hallucinations though? Looks like Jack is not going to get off scot free from this battle. This is going to be a nagging injury, to say nothing of what's going through his head right now. Aww it's the wolf. He lived. And he's made friends with Jack. Finally the wound is being treated! Awesome flashback with Jack's dad kicking ass.

I heard it was 10 episodes but I dunno. I like these assassins but the show does seem to be moving along pretty fast. I think the one girl that got some focus might join him.

So do the pinned threads not appear in with the other threads or what?

And yet he gives everyone the same skin tone in his color spreads...

You could probably do that anyway, since it's not made the same as the original, coming from a manga. And even if we weren't aware of this I don't think anybody thought Toriyama had heavy involvement here. It's probably more of a case of Toei really wanted to make some more Dragonball and Toriyama endorsed it.

I wasn't aware Toriyama had done anything on GT or had to. That was a just fun filler what-if series for the hell of it.

Toriyama busted his ass making Dragonball for years, when there were many points where he would've liked to stop, but kept doing it at the urging of his editors and the magazine, and probably for the fans. He's earned his semi-retirement. Togashi on the other hand is basically the Duke Nukem guy of manga.

If they brought One Piece back I highly doubt it would get that kind of billing. It would probably be nice and a good idea to not re-debut it at the end of the block, but I don't see it getting a slot that good. Of course this is all a pipe dream anyway.

Well from what I'm aware that formula seems to do well for them. Programming for Toonami though requires more care and thought but you have to think the Toonami crew appreciates having some long-runners on the block because that means they don't have to go through the process of picking a new show for every slot every 13-52 weeks. And you need long-runners to get viewers in and keep them around. Viewers like familiarity and always having a show they love being there for them to back to. So, they come for these shows and then hopefully stay for the finite series. Having One Piece back there was one more slot they didn't have to program for and one that viewers came back for. Ratings must have been pretty bad for a long enough time to get The Powers That Be to ax it. Demarco did say the short answer was ratings. There was probably more to it but we'll probably never know what. And I mean we do know for a fact that the ratings weren't that great for a long time, so there's no real reason to overthink this. Though I have to admit I didn't see this coming since I figured the standards weren't that great for One Piece being the last show before the rerun and then AS comedies taking over. I suppose I was wrong and One Piece wasn't as safe as I thought.

"Sadly?"

It's not a fad...

It is odd, I must admit. All I can figure is since Adult Swim is exclusively a late night network those slots must be more important and valuable to them.

It's fucking retarded. Sasuke is a traitor and villain, as you said. Yet Naruto and the others want to "bring him back." I fail to see what makes Sasuke any better than Orochimaru or various other traitors and rogue ninjas the Leaf Village attempts to capture or outright kill. Naruto even says at one point that he's going to put Kabuto in a jail cell back at the village. But not Sasuke because... Sasuke.
