Why don't they have more relevant ads? We need more stuff like the ads for anime merch and blu-rays, streaming sites, games, etc...

It bled into this thread somehow. We were still in this thread but Gundam was on. I already watched G Gundam. Great show. Meilag should. Not all Gundams are created equal! I missed that. Gotta' rewatch tonight big time. Haven't been on my proper groove with Toonami the past few weeks, due some stuff going on at home. Will get back to my normal routine soon enough, though.

That's Toei for you. Anyway, here's hoping Toonami was able to pull something out with their multiple visits to Japan this year. We knew getting Gundam and co-producing and co-funding the new FLCL seasons, and making the Oshii miniseries were part of it, but hopefully Kai Buu Saga and Super were also part of it. Though I have a feeling Super is going to a kids channel.

Do you know what size that is? Think it was 250x250 on the old UNEVENEDGE. Not sure about here.

That show was fucking horrible. Annoying, obnoxious characters. Even the character designs were obnoxious. Made me want to punch them. Easily the worst Yugioh. Completely unwatchable with terrible voice acting and terrible everything.

The guy(s) Kabuto ripped off was a combination of the info computer kid and Tonpa.

Anybody here know how to stop your avatar from turning blurry after you upload it to the forum?

Haven't watched Hiatus or Naruto the past few weeks. Need to catch up. Switching over to FantomWorks on Velocity until I am caught up with Hiatus and Naruto.

Nevermind. Figured out how to crop the borders off in IrfanView. But it's not on my end. The site compresses avatars and makes them look shittier. Ah well. Still looks okay enough I suppose!

Avatar updated. Looks kinda' crappy 'cause I did it in Paint. IrfanView is retarded and doesn't properly crop, leaving a black area when you remove something, and GIMP doesn't save in normal file-types that can be uploaded to the site. Aaaarrrggghhh.

I'm right with you, pal. Let's hope Toonami was able to work another miracle!

Don't know! Just found this pic! Time for an update! And she's not pissed off, I don't think. Determined? But yeah, gonna switch it to this ASAP!

Liking the change of scenery. Snow battles for the win. Those look like GP-35...38 diesel locomotives or something thereabouts. Love how hardcore Mika is. DAMN IT SHE LIVED! Golly-Golly came to rescue her, really?

Oh yeah! Trains! And they look like contemporary, modern ones! I'm happy!

It just redirects to the Toonami section of Adult Swim dot com, as far as I know. Still lots of goodies, there, though. Wallpapers, videos of Pre-Flight, Intruder, game reviews, Toonami AMVs, the shows, live marathon stream that plays every week, etc. Good site. You didn't know about it, really?

Season 2 isn't airing in Japan yet? Uhh, no falling out. One Piece is being dubbed and cranked out just like always. Funimation is even doing a theatrical American release for the new One Piece movie. One Piece is possibly an even bigger franchise and property for Toei than Dragonball. So, that can't the explanation. Could be Toei is just acting strange and being difficult to work with for some reason. Guess they hate money! Or they have so much from One Piece and their Japanese sales of their shows that they don't care. Still stupid of them, though. All I can figure is it's another Sunrise-type issue where they were being ridiculous when it came to licensing out Gundam. Toei had Sailor Moon on lockdown for years, too. Toei is dumb. Also cheap. One Piece doesn't look very nice most of the time, sadly. A real shame given how much effort Oda puts into the original manga.

I'm a Snow Angel. Very fitting, giving my avatar. <3

A new comic. Hope this one isn't crap like the last one was. Is that... a motion comic? Or just an animated commercial for it?

Doesn't help that a lot of shows use it to pad things out because they're too lazy or cheap to animate more dynamic things. You are right that it has to be done right. Another issue is characters, and the characters in this show can't really carry it. Stuff has to be happening, due to the characters in the show being somewhat weak, you can't just have pure, full-on character stuff.

Could be Demarco has Buu Saga secretly coming under major lockdown. They've kept bigger secrets under wraps... As for what replaces this... if it doesn't go right into Season 2, I'd prefer something non-Gundam. Mob Psycho 100? Drifters? Please God veto Tokyo Ghoul... don't need more edgelord shit like Akame Ga Kill. That crap show was such a waste of time.

Guess I am one of the few who appreciates the slice of life and downtime, just living, character moments, etc. This show, I like it. But I can see why it wouldn't be others' cup of tea. Let's just hope Demarco doesn't get his permanent Gundam slot. I want something different after this ends. Personally I would've preferred Gundam Build Fighters... but you kinda have to play a "normal" Gundam show before you play one like that. Anyway, let's hope a non-Gundam replaces this and we don't go right into season 2, because I'm fine with a break, even though I like the show, honestly.

It's okay. You can catch it on the rewatch. DVR, On-Deman, or AS Video Section. Fans are so apathetic to Gundam that the site works fine while it is on. ;D I like it, but I can see why people don't. I personally enjoy the slice of life and downtime stuff. And this is saying something, since this is only the second Gundam series I haven't hated. The other one was G Gundam, which was silly, over-the-top, and cartoonish. There was a Windmill Gundam! Fun show. Most Gundams are extremely melodramatic, with whiny, annoying crybaby characters, guilt-tripping the viewer for humanity being horrible to each other, obnoxious anti-war preaching, cliche plotlines like enemy soldiers falling in love etc etc.

Yeah, it happened to me all the time. I eventually had to upvote myself to 1K as insurance to keep them off me. They may have have been lifeless miserable losers, but nobody is going to sit there and downvote 1K worth of rep! Sad the boards are shut down now and those guys will never get punished for what they did. Also one of them decided to stalk me across the internet when I got into it with them on the dev boards some weeks back. Had to quit the dev boards and threatened to call the police on them over it. Sawdimizer. Ridiculousness. But, it's all good. That place is a sinking ship. It's sure to be shut down eventually. And now, this is the real community for the former ASMBers. They can keep that shithole. Not like that was the real ASMB, anyway. Just the shitty NodeBB knock-off. Gotta love how we had our old board archive for all of a few weeks, too! *SIGH*

That's the point. This is intentionally cheesy, campy, and over-the-top. It's meant to be theatrical and melodramatic. This is about 1800s British people, after all! But yeah, this show isn't meant to be taken super-seriously, in case you couldn't tell. Basically, roll with it and have fun!
