  1. Franky is fighting because he thinks they're trying to steal his cola?! He's unknowingly stopping them from taking Caesar!
  2. Doflamingo's disappointed his cronies are safe because the island hasn't gone up in a massive explosion. 🤣
  3. So how are they going to kidnap Caesar? Stick him in a jar?
  4. So it's Doflamingo not Donflamingo? I can never keep that guy's name straight. So I was wrong the first time, right the second time, and wrong the third time. But now I know.
  5. So just 1 episode is being rerun? That's not too bad. Do we have any idea what is replacing Food Wars? I don't see a thread about it.
  6. Where is the One Piece thread? Also no way in hell am I re-watching Food Wars. I hate Asahi and he made the last season even more unbearable. I guess I will have to find something else to do for 30 minutes. It's pretty inconvenient when a rerun is stuck in the middle of the premieres.
  7. Man they just keep making worse and worse decisions! This is asinine to put AI in charge of such a thing. Though I guess it lets Zaslav avoid responsibility and blame for unpopular decisions and say "the AI did it."
  8. Well it's not a train but they've got a mine cart at least! Cliffhanger postponed as it looks like we aren't finding Why Man any time soon. Drat.
  9. I was hoping they'd make a train but it's just a vehicle road. Oh yeah asphalt is toxic as fuck, you gotta be careful around that.
  10. Never mind, it's a metal detector. Though it doesn't look like we are finding Why Man any time soon.
  11. You need ground penetrating LIDAR not SONAR or RADAR. Though maybe Chrome accidentally invented that.
  12. How big of a ship are they able to make at this point? And all metal? Doesn't sound feasible.
  13. Can we use it see through girl's clothes? 🤣
  14. The windshield on the boat looks like glasses haha. Was that intentional?
  15. Not for me. Seems louder than usual though. I'm actually turning the volume down.
  16. So it's SONAR. Nice. If Why Man isn't an enemy he's definitely a provocateur. Fish? I thought it was undersea topography.
  17. Aww, well, enjoy yourself! See you next week!
  18. Bam right in the face with a piece of ore! Ouch! They made a cathode ray tube that easily?! Honestly trying to understand how CRTs work isn't nearly as easy as the LED screens.
  19. Kohaku: I'm not sure Chrome is worthy of the general title. He's too goofy. And he proves her point. 😄
  20. Is this movie part of the manga storyline or its own thing? And yeesh I sure hope Toonami doesn't lose Black Clover on top of all their other woes!
  21. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2020-04-08/how-food-wars-lost-its-flavor/.158042 ANN has a pretty good article about the final Food Wars arc. And it sure looks like we can only blame the manga for this. It doesn't sound any different than the last season, with a bunch of stuff being off-screened and glossed over. Fans of long-running manga are likely all too familiar with disappointing final arcs. Ask anyone and they can probably point to at least a couple of favorite series that lost their spark at some point and limped to the finish line. But what sets Food Wars! apart is just how universally its final act is looked down upon by even the series' most ardent fans. Despite the lengthy and convoluted Ninja War arc, fans still love Naruto and have kept up following the story of his son. People may mostly dislike Near and Melo's arc but can't deny that Death Note finale was still fantastic. There were somehow enough vocal vans clamoring for it that we're even getting Bleach's final arc animated next year. Yet the most consistent reaction I saw to the news of Food Wars! getting a full adaptation was confusion and rolled eyes. Yup, that sums up the situation pretty well haha. And I LOVE this excerpt - Apparently one of the other lingering questions the creators sought to answer was who Asahi Saiba's real father was, and in a flashback so poorly considered it could make you lose your lunch, it's revealed his father is none other than Azami Nakiri, who had a drunken tryst with Asahi's mother at some point and unleashed his inferior villain spawn into the world. Which also means that this whole time Asahi was trying to win the Blue and force Erina to marry him, he was actually trying to bang his half-sister. That's awkward enough, but it turns out Food Wars! just loves forgiving villains with no real justification, and this is all a way for Erina to accept her newly found brother into the family and fix all his lingering issues from being an abused criminal. 🤣
