It's like Oda just leaves them alive for the sake of leaving them alive. It's annoying. Especially when many of these characters deserved death or worse. It numbs the satisfaction we get from their defeat. At least Crocodile got thrown in jail. *sigh*

Right. It's still lame, though. Damn government. The only thing I can think of where a World Government isn't evil is Star Trek.

What made you bring that up? You know I had actually vowed to never watch Wolf's Rain again, on account of the person I associated it with, but I suppose I'm past that, at this point.

They pretty much have to. Fans aren't about to take this lying down. And it's not like GitS is some smalltime series where they could sweep this under the rug.

God damn I never got that until now when you guys said it. Still love that scene though. Memorable interaction.

They definitely screwed the pooch. Not sure how you can fuck up that bad. Anchor Bay is going to have to come around or have a PR nightmare on their hands. Replacements pretty much have to be offered.

From what I could tell it was a conventional ship they used to sail out from the big island ship. I don't know either. For some reason they just can't die anymore. It's pissed me off quite a bit in some cases, especially with Eneru. Oh yeah, definitely. Though I was curious about that bottomless pit of water. How far down does it go? All the way through the planet? That'd be pretty cool. It will be hard to cover up. They seemed to think Moria could recover and regain his position... but I doubt it. He's been beaten to hell, had his whole HQ wrecked, lost all his shadows, and Perona, who was pretty invaluable, is gone. I think they were planning on just putting it out there that Moria is still in power and no one would know any better because he's in the Florian Triangle (if anyone even knows that's where he is). Meh.

So, that old guy was pretty creepy. This part with Togusa going through the visual footage is cool. Jeez, I've practically got this show memorized, though. Major looking on and smiling. Togusa's a good hubby and dad.

I heard on the Toonami Show Rundown podcast that some company called Anchor Bay botched the Blu-Rays. Like, scenes go back and forth between Japanese and English or some shit, and they're blocking people that complain about it to them. You might want to check the Blu-Rays sooner than later. Just look at these reviews - http://www.rightstufanime.com/Ghost-in-the-Shell-Stand-Alone-Complex-Blu-ray

Hahahhaa yeah.

I've got elephantine memory. I won't forget. >=]

They said the land mass part of it, maybe it's an island or part of a continent, came from the West Blue. Don't know how the fuck Moriya uprooted it and turned it into a ship and built the wall around it, though. Not sure if the buildings were already there, either. They seem pretty purpose built for what they were used for as it being Thriller Bark, so I'm guessing they all had to be built, too. It would definitely have been an interesting thing to learn about.

That's better than the dub line. What Franky said was irking me nearly as much as the "I'm a pirate! I'm interested in adventure, not romance!" thing Nami said...

Just give it up Lola ffs. Mermaids don't wear panties, because they're Mermaids. Idiots! So beautiful they give the Pirate Empress Hancock a run for her money? Hmm. Franky fixed that old broken down ship? Impressive. So it will be of use to somebody at least again. These jokers came from the New World? Really? Vivre Card... Luffy has one of those from Ace. So that's what it is. I thought it was like some special ID or something. NOOOO THE CARD IS BURNING AWAY! Ace is dying?! WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS?! Luffy is taking this well... MORE DRINKING AND PARTYING! Still don't like that the Sunny is cg...

That's going to feel like an eternity at the pace of one day a week, though. T__T

So if Brook dropped dead just like that, who pushed stop on the recording? > Being alone with your thoughts for so long. Especially when you've had that kind of stuff happen to you. Gotta' be rough. Way to ruin the emotional moment, Brook! "So does the offer to join your crew still stand?" "Yeah welcome aboard." "I'm confused, too! CHEERS!" Oh yeah, Red Line goes all the way around the planet. How they are going to get past that the next time they cross it? Is that Laboon now? Awesome, he seems happy. He... knows? Was that The Force just now? Laboon's sound effects are awesome now, by the way. I've always loved whales. Grave... so he still has their bodies?! No burial at sea, I suppose. Oh yeah, the island came from the West Blue. How the hell did Moriya dislodge it anyway? But what if he comes back and desecrates the grave?! Violin version...T__T Whoa... it's Zoro. Oh yeah, his sword that got destroyed by that rust guy. Nice little moment here between Zoro and Brook.

I need to slo-mo this OP. Lots of characters flying by.

Yeah, we already figured out she had the Jutsu on her back last episode, show. I thought it would be tattooed, though. This looks... implanted? Then the guy said "engraved"... which doesn't sound right, either. They're... wait for it... JUST LIKE NARUTO.

This one was a lot more anime-like, though. The characters, the art style and designs, Japanese animators were even involved.

Oh, it's more than just learning jutsus, trust me, Naruto. How the hell is this speech in filler? Naruto's never even said anything like this in the canon... God damn it.

I'd say it's probably a Gundam, just not a Unicorn. The Quad-wing looked like some kind of Zeon thing. Still, it was a high end suit. Not all high end suits are Gundams, you know. I wouldn't call it "just a regular mobile suit." And that Quad-wing was cool. I liked the concept for it.

*dew rags I guess it depends on the anime fan.

Oh so that was some kind of cross-continental hybrid thing. Cool. I liked the art and the music. Cute character.

What's this? A music video? This one... isn't bad?

Okay, well this at least looks like something that would happen in this show. The fuck?! Jutsu? That looks more like a Tailed Beast! But how?! If you're not gonna' kill him at least chop off his emo hair. Okay that one really does look like Haku. What the hell. "*groan* That was fun." Haha Yamato.
