I was wondering that. It seems Aku died but his minions and followers are still carrying on in his stead and worshipping him. Aku created such an army he doesn't even need to be around to rule the universe.

Holy shit, what an epic beginning! It's as cinematic as ever. Jack looks badass in that samurai armor. Did Samurai stop wearing that after guns were brought to Japan? Liked the inside view of that robot bug being impaled. Those aliens are cute. Like how they communicate. Do they know Jack from the old show or has Jack just become that much of a legend? Cultists worshipping Aku and birthing babies to do his bidding. Jesus. So it turns out that sending Jack back to the past also stopped his aging. Great. Now Jack has PTSD and is losing it. That master is a bitch.

That Devour commercial is terrible.

Oh ok. So you'd have to pretty nuclear to actually get banned here, then. I see. So that's more likely then and what behavior would it take for that to happen? Either way, good to see there will finally be repercussions for misbehavior now.

Dude, JoJo is the best! Besides, if you could follow KLK's pacing you should be able to follow that. Trust me, Gundam Unicorn wouldn't be any easier to follow if you had any background on the franchise. Only time the show makes any sense are during the recaps. Plus Banagher is the worst. I finally had to drop Hiatus a while back because it just wasn't getting any better for me. The show squeezed out every ounce of caring I had about any of those characters. So, I like Dragonball, JoJo, Gundam has cool battles and looks pretty but it's difficult to follow and the main character is annoying, Hiatus I don't watch, Naruto is torture I continue to watch for the train wreck aspect just to see if it gets as bad as everyone claims (it hasn't disappointed so far, lol). I love GitS. One Piece was one of the shows you could always count on to have a good episode if other shows underwhelmed, and especially helps you get over the pain of Naruto. Just a good way to end the night. To replace that with edgelord nonsense on par with Akame Ga Kill... bleh. I definitely don't enjoy nearly all of the block as I had in the past and replacing One Piece with Tokyo Ghoul certainly won't help that.

lol

Oh wow. > We should take him even less seriously than before then. >

One Piece is for kids. Besides, they get away with quite a bit on Rebels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHi-XRtAtSs It could join Disney 's anime block > I've still got the TV on that channel after Rebels ended and they've been playing this promo incessantly!

More like The Powers That Be at Adult Swim. Toonami staff can go to bat for One Piece to a certain extent, but there's only so much the network will tolerate before they are forced do what has to be done.

I'm surprised he hasn't pulled a Chris Benoit yet.

I see. That sounds better than watching it by myself. Let me know what you guys come up with.

NOOOOOOOO I MISSED EVERYTHING! I didn't get to be here live for the self-destruction of Moose! And oh shit, I better be good now.

That spiritual successor to Mr. Rogers, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, is a better show than Hiatus.

Which is what you did to Bleach fans when the anime and manga ended prematurely. So yeah I've got to sympathy for you.

Yeah because Hiatus is vacuous viewer repellent. So, it's not that Shittuden beat it. It's just less shitty than Hiatus.

No shit. Hiatus is boring and nonsensical. Yet One Piece gets cancelled and is going to replaced by edgelord nonsense like Tokyo Ghoul which manga fans say bastardizes the source material? And we have to continue to sit through the torture of Shittuden?! ... I guess I really have no choice but to watch it on my own now. T_T

Why does everything I always happen when I'm away? So, One Piece gets cancelled and is going to replaced by edgelord nonsense like Tokyo Ghoul which manga fans say bastardizes the source material? And we have to continue to sit through the torture of Shittuden?! Oh, and the boring and nonsensical Hiatus will continue to squander 30 precious minutes of Toonami each week unabated. ... I guess I really have no choice but to watch it on my own now. T_T

Oh, you finally decided to come back, after all! Awesome!

Nice thread. I flipped to Destination America for background noise the other morning and there was a Samurai Jack promo. This is the first time I can think of them doing an ad off-network for an Adult Swim show, much less a Toonami one. I assume the ads must have run on various other networks as well. They're really going all out for this one! By the way, I wasn't here for the shows live last weekend because my friend brought Zelda over, and we pretty much played that 24/7, aside from the WWE PPV on Sunday. Great game! Finally we've got a nonlinear Zelda just like Zelda 1, and it's huge! A breath of fresh air for the series! Too much for me to gush on right now so suffice to say I'll be getting the game myself ASAP. Just didn't have the money together to buy it on release day.

Oh it's extremely unlikely and would probably never happen, but I could see how it could be made to work. Maybe. Only problem is all the cruelty Moria was responsible for. Yeah he seems pretty silly and has that look and that laugh, that chill personality you mentioned, but he's done some evil as fuck shit. It would take a lot to redeem him, and probably wouldn't fit with his personality anyway.

It's just that some things bother me more than others. I've repeatedly stated that Bleach is not perfect, neither is Fairy Tail. I have given my problems with them. But they've not done anything to make me start disliking them or turn against them. And you know when something bothers me, I don't let it go, so if a series did something that I didn't like, you'd hear about it. Also worth noting that for shows I like that aren't well-liked on this community, my criticism of them won't be as noticeable, since there won't often be someone there to disagree with me, thus causing me to repeat, reiterate, and argue those criticisms. I mean, I don't expect you to tracker stalk me or anything, but if you've followed my commentary even at a glance, you'd know I had my complaints and disappointments with Bleach, that I didn't get everything I wanted, even if I still loved the series. Well, I do have high standards, and I have more tolerance for some problems than I do others, which is why when series do things that get on my nerves, I'm going to jump on whatever that thing is. That's why I complained about the villains getting away in One Piece (especially since this wasn't always the case). You probably didn't notice because you probably didn't care, but the same complaints I've had with the majority of Gundam series since the very beginning, I brought tonight because Unicorn is doing the same shit those old shows used to do, with the obnoxious, pretentious WAR IS BAD preaching, and having a whiny crybaby bitch protagonist - who is typically the one doing the obnoxious childish preaching. Seriously, someone needs to slap the shit out of Banagher. So, that's three pet peeves in one night. I was agrro'd three times. What is it the kids call it these days? Triggered? Sure, that kind of shit triggers me, if you want to put it in such terms. So, you can say that Bleach and Fairy Tail are badly written, and maybe they don't have the best writing, but they haven't done anything to infuriate me, like Hiatus has. In the case of One Piece I wouldn't say I am infuriated, per se, but the thing I brought up does piss me off, and it's arguably worse to have an issue with a show you like, than one you hate. What do I care if Hiatus does more shit that's retarded and nonsensical? I don't like it. It can keep doing more shitty shit and I won't care because fuck that show and that's why I dropped it. With One Piece, I'm not ever going to drop it, and I love it, so it pisses me off when it does shit I don't like, especially when they are major pet peeves. And to be fair, some things about the Bleach ending pissed me off a decent amount as well. So there's that. I'm not going to hold it against the series, though. For the most part, I was satisfied with it. But the issue with the villains in One Piece... it's recurring and obviously not going to go away, and it's something that wasn't always done in the show, which nullifies the whole argument of IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY.

Yeah, they joined up because of mutual benefit. But now there's really nothing they can personally gain from helping Gecko Moria. Do they feel gratitude towards him? Do they... care about each other?

Holy shit I can see it now!

Well, Perona did steal all his treasure and food and try to leave, but Moria probably wouldn't have given a shit, either. The thing I did like about these villains were how they were like Bizarro Straw Hats. Moria lost against a powerful enemy because he was alone. So he vowed to never fight alone again, and that's why he gathered these friends minions. Then each of them had their reasons for being loyal to Moria which also worked in with what they wanted to do, they all had their own goals/dreams, and they all wanted to make Moria King of the Pirates.
