  1. Oh, it's a food competition. Exotic alien bird eggs vs. instant ramen. So who was responsible for that conflict on the 6th Universe's Earth? 12 universes? I thought there would be 7, to go with the Dragon Balls, and maybe each universe would have one of these Super Dragon Balls. Super Dragon Balls! So do they really have no limits? Woo, time for a good ole tournament! Not sure it's such a good idea to bargain the Earth though!
  2. More training? Well, hopefully it will mostly be off screen or won't go on for too much longer. Why are Goku and Vegeta wearing sumo suits? > He lost his breath just from laughing hahahaha. Looks like Lord Beerus ate another Lord Beerus. Is one's alternate universe counterpart really a "brother?" Or are they brothers who happen to inhabit separate universes? Hmmm. Ok so what's this thing Champa had brought.
  3. Finally got around to watching this since Demarco neglected to inform even DVRs of the schedule change last week. Vegeta - "You forgot I'm in this show too!" ROFL I could be remembering wrong, but going by the movie, I thought Frieza was supposed to be out of his golden do a while before this. Like towards the end of his fight with Goku. Looks like Vegeta gets to get some more hits in though, so that's nice. Like seeing everyone right before the die (not how it sounds I promise). I'm not sure that was in the movie. I saw some people complaining about Goku blasting Frieza from above with a Kamehameha wave would destroy the earth. Looks like the blast stopped just short enough to kill Frieza. Don't know if it's possible to control it like that, but in the movie he blasts Frieza from the side, and it's much quicker. The moment with Gohan, Videl, and Pan was sweet. So Gohan is going to train and hopefully have some more dignity from now on. Even though he didn't come off that bad in the movie. Don't know why the show made him look so bad. Naw why would they want to work together?
  4. That came off to me as just another in Empress' series of humorous JoJo posts where she refers to herself and/or the characters in SEXUAL RELATIONS, but here it simply seemed to be pointing out the funny double entendre by itself. Didn't see any connection to me or any user in particular, so your post trying to link me to it to imply I want anal sex comes off as a nonsensical non sequiter when my liking of the post is no different from anyone else's.
  5. Well it's pretty juvenile of you to come to the nonsensical conclusion you did.
  6. Don't believe most of what Mochi says. He's constantly pulling up so-called "spoilers" and gets them twisted. He was way off base with Tokyo Ghoul and tons of other stuff so it's probably the same case here.
  7. On a computer you mean? Because you were also talking about players. And mine doesn't have a Blu-Ray drive so it'd have to be DVD.
  8. Could have sworn you said you got banned like right after you joined. Eh, it seems like every other forum I try to join up with I can't seem to stick with. Maybe my interest moves on or it's just too much to keep up with. Place doesn't sound too appealing honestly anyway. I don't want to have to tiptoe around shit, especially not with that ilk.
  9. Like I said I just liked the post because I thought it was funny. You came up with that interpretation on your own. You've obviously got some fantasies you should keep to yourself, lol.
  10. Why would I go on NeoGAF? It's full of obnoxious elitists from what I understand. Don't get what all the hubbub is about. You got banned fast yourself anyway, from what you told us.
  11. I've never even heard the term before and barely go on TVTropes, as I find it annoying, but I found it pretty obvious what he meant. It's common sense.
  12. Or maybe I like JoJo and have a sense of humor, while you continue to have a stick up your ass.
  13. That's how and I many others watched Monster but I still would've liked to own it.
  14. Yeah, thanks for that intel. It's 74 episodes so it could be cheaper but it's not that bad. We paid a lot more for anime in general in the old days and people are still paying the piper for Aniplex stuff.
  15. That sounds like a lot of work. Like cracking your Netflix. Plus it took me long enough to buy a PS3. Shit kept happening that would eat up the budget. And I wasn't going to buy it launch, because it cost 600 fucking dollars (ANOTHER SONY BLUNDER!). I'm not going to buy something else that just plays movies. If they were region free, I could see it.
  16. Yeah 'cause they're greedy. And Gen Fukunaga - It doesn't even have to go as stupifuckous as the Japanese distribution model. It could go Viz level, slow but cheap, or Aniplex level, fast but expensive.
  17. That movie was awesome but Amazing Spider-Man 2 sucked. Hope none of that "quality" leaches into Funimation. Their petty MINE MINE MINE walling off of X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man (until now), among others, from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been obnoxious too.
  18. Not being entirely serious with that of course, but seriously, fuck AT&T and fuck Lily (literally in her case).
  19. They've got a proven good reputation with their acquisitions, though. Marvel and Lucasfilm have been rejuvenated by their ownership. And the Ghibli films are localized well.
  20. Xenophobic? Japanese companies have a history of this foolishness. Here's some more examples. Toei making it difficult to bring over Kai, Super, and Sailor Moon. Sunrise making it difficult to bring in Gundam. It took what were basically intense diplomatic negotiations by Jason and Gill to end the Gundam embargo. Viz is Japanese-owned and their dubs are slow as fuck, plus they have a much smaller library. Final Act took YEARS to dub. And who was on the other side of that equation? Ooooh Sunrise! As they said things will remain business at usual at Funimation.... for now. We shall see. You seem to think this is going to be like a Disney/Lucasfilm thing, where Disney pretty much lets Lucasfilm do whatever it wants. I'm not so confident of that.
  21. To prove her hotness. She's a bit frumped up in the actual commercials.
  22. Monster is excellent. Where Viz fucked up was rating the DVDs like they were fucking hentai and of course there was no guarantee the rest would come out, which is exactly what happened.
  23. Used to be most of Toonami was great but lately it's been showing a ton of crap, like Unicorn and Tokyo Ghoul. Hiatus and Shittuden continue to drag the block down like the albatrosses they are and One Piece is no longer there as the stalwart bright light and the end of the night. Super showed promise with Beerus Saga being decent and some great slice of life filler eps but art and animation has been lacking and the Frieza Saga adaptation has been horrendous. Stick to the movies and watch the filler eps would have been the thing to do but hopefully it will improve with the new sagas coming up. So basically the only good shows on right now are Kai, JoJo, and Lupin. I've got a chronic backlog in tons of places and didn't want to start anything new but I couldn't take it anymore and broke down and watched Seven Deadly Sins and it was godly. Going to make a point to watch some more off-Toonami shows soon since it seems they can no longer be relied upon to bring the quality in the quantity they once did.
  24. https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/08/01/funimation-agrees-acquired-sony-pictures-television-networks/ That's what they SAY. I don't trust ANYTHING until I see what actually happens. Until proven otherwise I'm assuming anime armageddon. I've been on the bad end of mergers and buy outs before. I used to have AT&T many years ago but it sucked ass so I switched to Cingular. Had good reception service and good customer service. Shocking right? Well years later AT&T took them over and RUINED EVERYTHING. I have shitty service at my house. At first they told us that since we are so close to the tower the signal is going over us like an umbrella. Later on we find out AT&T doesn't own the tower right near us and are too cheap to connect to it so we sit in a dead spot with 1-2 bars between 2 AT&T towers. For a time I actually I switched to Verizon and the phone worked great but the guy at the store lied to us about a bunch of shit and the bill was inflated and fucked in short order and had to flee back to garbage AT&T. Lily should be rage-fucked to atone for their sins. Movie Gallery ended up buying Hollywood Video, and through their own corporate incompetence and through no fault of GameCrazy, which was doing great sales, Movie Gallery closed all Hollywoods and with them the attached GameCrazys. I lost my favorite game store. Had tons of great games for cheap from all generations and workers who knew their shit. Hell I made friends there. Now I shop at Game X Change which is great too and still refuse to set foot in Gamestop but I still miss GameCrazy. Now Funimation, which has built its company and brand with care and steadiness over the years (I liked them before it was cool, by the way, in the early days, when others were hating on them nearly as much as 4kids), is owned by a JAPANESE COMPANY likely run by out of touch old geezers. Those that stick to old time Japanese traditions which have no place in modern society, which lead to such morbid idiocy as the NES Classic debacle, a complete ignorant misreading and apathy towards its customers, Konami closing its videogame division and Kojima heading for the hills because HUR DUR WE GOT TEH PACHINKO MACHINES WAD WE NEED DOSE VIDYAGAMES FOR, MegaMan ending as a franchise due to Capcom treating its creator like a slave, among myriad other examples. This does not bode well. Let's just say I am not at all enthused to hear of this news this morning.
  25. In the previous show that aired on ASA it was played off as more of a joke than anything. Lupin would do something pervy or try to flirt with Fujiko and she would blow him off. For example, See - The OP. There may have been some genuine affection between the two, but I'm pretty sure they weren't an actual couple! And the way Fujiko was acting here it was hard to tell if she was being serious as well.
