Season 2 isn't coming, at least not right away, but Demarco's dream of a permanent Gundam slot has come to fruition, as another one is replacing this one - Gundam Unicorn. I guess Demarco would rather less people be watching Gundam and whatever comes after it (meaning most of Toonami) than not feed his Gundam fanboy fetish. I've been one of the few who hasn't minded this show, but I don't want constant Gundam on the block. I want other shows. More variety.

Why the hell did that guy jump in? Sure, the rose thing helped out, but that was still pretty stupid. Such a short-lived character, haha. Really clever usage of the powers here. I love the solutions and counters JoJo and Dio come up with. Oh nice, he still has that sword. Hahahaha Luck and Pluck like RPG stats. ;D Not only does his new appearance show JoJo's determination and resolve following Zepelli's death, but this is iconic appearance, it would seem. IT'S USELESS USELESS USELESS USELESS! YES, DIO IS FINALLY DEAD! Why would JoJo cry? They grew up together but Dio was never not a bastard. No ounce of goodness in him. No redeeming qualities. Eh, maybe it's just part of JoJo's pure-hearted schtick. By the way, how the hell is Tom Petty still alive? He must be ancient by now. One more episode for wrap-up, I take it. JoJo has been excellent so far, and this has been a great arc. And I hear it only gets better from here! I can't wait!

Sweet Super Kami Dende they Doubledowned on Dragon Ball
ben0119 replied to Sketch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Why do things always happen while I'm away? I should take sabbaticals from the Toonami community more often. It may lead to more blockbuster turn of events like this! So, Demarco pulled a rabbit out of his beard and licensed both the Buu Saga and Super. So, one of my guesses for a possible option came true, and they're going to play both concurrently, like the did with Dragonball and DBZ back on the old Toonami. It makes sense to play Super as soon as possible, though certainly not striking while the iron is hot, as that ship sailed long ago. Likely due to Toei being Toei. It's obviously not because of dub turnaround delay in this day and age. At the same time, we know how much Toonami hates to "throw away episodes", so it makes sense to play Buu Saga, as well, if they can. I suppose anyone who hasn't seen the Buu Saga before will have spoilers from Super, but oh well. -

And in case anyone hasn't heard (I can't read the thread very well thanks to the constant lag and crashing), Demarco pulled a rabbit out of his beard and licensed both the Buu Saga and Super.

17 and 18 look almost exactly the same. Why would Krillin think they were a couple? Oh hey, Launch appears after all, in flashes during this flashback. I wonder if she's in Super, since, ah, Toriyama would be conscious of her now. Yamcha, the expert on women... after he lost his to Vegeta. Tsun Tsun Papa Vegeta, hahaha. FUCK THAT! GOKU IS AN IDIOT AND A HORRIBLE FATHER AND HUSBAND! God, him wanting to stay dead is sooooo stupid. -

Not even the Dragonballs could give Sean Schemmel, Justin Cook, and Sonny Strait the ability to sing. Still, only one more week of this version of Dragonsoul. Hercule is full of more shit than Hulk Hogan. And so like that, everyone buys it. Though I have to wonder the King's reaction is to all this. Surely he must know it wasn't Hercule who did Cell in. It's okay, though, Gohan gets revenge. And so here we come to one of the most obnoxious turn of events in all of Dragonball. Goku chooses not to be brought back, and leave Gohan without a father growing up. 1. When the fuck did Bulma ever say that?! 2. That's a load of crap! The villains would've done what they were doing, regardless of Goku being around. And if it wasn't for him and his friends, who knows what peril would've befallen everyone, the Earth, etc. Most of them didn't even know who Goku was! The only exceptions were the Saiyans and Cell. Even Frieza didn't give a fuck about Goku until he got to fight him for a while. Vegeta will never fight again. Sure. 18, cold as ever. Jotun. Looks fun, and I like the cartoon look. But I've such a backlog already, I may never get to everything I want to play in my lifetime! x_x Here, a lot of script changes, more accurate, that is, make things... a lot more clear. -
Gundam Unicorn on Toonami this January... discuss.
ben0119 replied to Blatch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Uhh they're not going to use the Indonesian Asian Carpfish dub, Sketch. A dub like that was recorded for Final Act, too. That's not what Adult Swim aired. A new English dub recorded by skilled and reputable American or Canadian dubbers would be made for the civilized English speaking world. Gundam is sabotaging everything that comes after it. Can't blame the lead-ins for that. And lead-ins were doing worse because they moved the block up. Thought that was solved after they moved it back. Gundam is an albatross weighing down the rest of the block. They should air Exo Squad instead. -

Has Tite Kubo been blacklisted from the manga industry?
ben0119 replied to ben0119's topic in Anime & Manga
Do you not know how to read? He continued the series because of the kid. He was going to end it after Aizen originally, due to his illness. Perhaps you did not understand correctly, but Kubo read that letter from the kid years ago, around the time of the tenth anniversary, which is when he almost wanted to quit from being so sick. The series ended the way it did now, due to Kubo being too sick to keep working as a mangaka. At least for now. Kubo's will was there, but his body wasn't able. So he was forced to end it now the way he did, unfortunate as things did turn out, for the sake of his own health. There was no dilly dallying, either. Sad that you can't even interpret things correctly (the story about the sick kid) and still make false accusations and incorrect criticism against Kubo even now. None of that other bullshit you said was right, either. Not even going to address it. You've got me so angry it's all I can do to contain my rage and not go ballistic. I'm going to have to log out now. -

Kubo was going to end it after Aizen's defeat, because he was so sick. The illness started around the time of the tenth anniversary (during Deicide, I believe). He continued for the kid, so he could tell the rest of the story he wanted to tell in Bleach's world. The kid's story acted as motivation for Kubo to keep drawing and writing the series. He ended it now because he was so sick he could no longer keep working making the series. -

Not cool, man. Anyway, what is Kubo's illness and how bad is he? He looks much older now and it's not even been that many years since we last had photos of him... I'm concerned about him. -

Well they are making a Japanese live action movie for some reason... And Bleach could come back via America, a la Big O, FLCL, etc. The Trigun movie happened because of America, not Japan. And Watanabe isn't even that big of a deal in Japan... Space Dandy on Toonami came about due to Watanabe's urging, not Demarco begging and pleading at the Altar of Watanabe. So yes, America matters when it comes to anime, a lot more than you think. ...It didn't get cancelled. Kubo ended the series early himself, due to his worsening illness. Do you not know how to read? -

That's what I am hoping happens! But the evil corporate overlords in Japan may not allow it. -
