I just paid attention to the lyrics of the ED this time and wow are they stupid. Backpacks, really?

Hahahahaha Goku is turning into a sitcom character. "Super Saiyan please?"

Goku liked it too.

I thought so, too. "Give your life to save this planet, piggy!"

It's really weird because he has an adult face and voice.

This most important Oolang has been in years. Oh hey Eric Vale-voiced Dave & Buster's commercial! :-D They have to be putting these ads in intentionally...

Well, Pilaf was always a childlike Emperor *rimshot*, and Shu is a dog. Mai is human. And maybe they thought it would be cute.

I'm not saying it's bad that it doesn't have romance. I'm saying it's annoying because the show does all this other stuff to call attention to that fact, like sexualized characters, Sanji's schtick which is wearing thin, and especially, groan-inducing lines like "I'M A PIRATE! I'M INTERESTED IN ADVENTURE, NOT ROMANCE!"

Wow, Bulma actually humbling herself?

Why do we have Head Cha-la recap music but not in the actual show? D: "It's time for you to get destroyed, Beerus!" 8) More entertaining than Goku? I'll take it!

Oh wow I thought he was scratching his chin until just now!

They had their first impression and they blew it, sorry. Plus none of their "memes" their fans parrot are even funny in the first place.

Are those really the standards we're going by?

I have been accused of overthinking and nitpicking before (and I do do that) and maybe it wouldn't have popped into my head if Jman never brought it up, but you're crazy if you think no one else has had this complaint. I mean, there's armadas of obnoxious shippers online. You really think none of them wants their fictions made reality? Well, "reality" in the canon fiction, lol. That and you probably run in circles full of fanboys and fangirls. I would be funny just to see you get trolled if that happened. >

I thought one of the major parts of One Piece were how relatable and realistic the characters are, as people. That's why people get invested and that's why people actually have a reaction when something horrible happens to them. The show is built on relationships, friends, family, mentors, apprentices, etc. This also feeds into the emotional aspect and people feeling close to the characters. Also worth noting that Oda could milk the emotional reaction thing he likes to do to the T by torturing and/or killing off someone's boyfriend or girlfriend, by the way. So, you can say how it's so fantastical all you want, but the people themselves aren't totally alien, otherwise One Piece wouldn't have the appeal that it does. And again, if you don't want to call attention to something you don't want in your story... stop doing things that call attention to something you don't want in your story. Oh yeah, I just thought of something. You keep saying how the Straw Hats are focused on attaining their personal goals, having fun, having adventure (because having a significant other isn't fun at all). They don't have time they are laser-focused blahblahbahblahblah. Well, after the story ends, I'm going to laugh my ass off if they hook up with people, since they could essentially "retire" at that point. Be even funnier if some of them are some random fucks from hundreds of episodes earlier in the story. You know how Oda likes to do that. >

Fairy Tail actually has romance in it, though. You really think you could have people that fit and attractive working together and nobody shacks up? You might as well try to ban wrestlers from getting together. Everyone is on the road together, they get close, and they look good. So it makes sense that happens. I wouldn't see it any different in Fairy Tail. Also, pretty sure I did object to having fan service during serious moments, but I've noted that I haven't gotten to those scenes in context yet. I mean I did complain about some of the awkward fan service in SAO, so... That is true that you're right that people do react to them. And I never said Straw Hats need to pair off together...

Just making the point that it's not so out of the realm of possibility like you want to say it is. Why use jokes that purposefully call attention to the thing you don't want included in your story? If they developed feelings for each other, sure. Isn't the idea that they're family? They probably see each other more as bros or BFFs, so it wouldn't feel right for them to become involved with each other. But they aren't attracted to anyone? No one is attracted to them? I mean you're coming up with lots of excuses and mental gymnastics here, and it could've been just as easily dealt with if the author didn't do contradictory things that called attention the lack of romance, or have one, a short one, maybe, where some Straw Hat has to say "sorry it won't work, I have to continue my journey blahblahblah" and it's stamped out there. Instead, Oda seemingly wants to have his cake and eat it too, just like Kubo ultimately did in the end. Really, humans behaving like humans is jarring?

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.
