  1. Recap? I hope it doesn't last too long or become a regular thing. No need to buy time when it's seasonal and not an ongoing long-runner.
  2. How much more can they cut?! I had seen an article where people who had their stuff canceled were speaking out against these cuts, but I can't find it now.
  3. Well, it can be argued that prostitution shouldn't be illegal. It's the "oldest profession" after all, and you are not going to stop people from doing that. It is supposedly handled better in the areas where it's legal. But, the prostitute was 16. I have seen some people trying to defend it, saying maybe he didn't know how old the girl was, or she lied about her age. *sigh* Well, Watsuki was also able to return after getting caught with CP. He got a $1200 fine or so and was back at his manga in less than a year. One guy I know of that actually saw consequences was the mangaka that raped two underage girls. His shit got straight up canceled, no hiatus, and I doubt he'll be back. Not sure what criminal punishment he got. The issue is that Japan has screwed up priorities. A Yakuza game VA got caught for drugs and was blackslisted and erased, Josef Stalin style. But sex crimes aren't treated very seriously. I mean, we should already be angry we are having to have this special with Toriko instead of a new show haha. We wouldn't even be having this discussion if the Toonami crew had done their jobs! You say "western pressure" like it's a bad thing Japan had to raise their age of consent. You don't think 16 is too young? It should be 18, or at least 17, like some U.S. states have. There are even some guys that will travel to other countries to have sex with younger girls. Age of consent is 16 in the U.K. and one of the wrestlers that got outed in the #SpeakingOut movement took advantage of that. Though it had also been my understanding that even when it was legal in Japan, it wasn't considered socially acceptable to have sex with people that young. Sort of like how Germany never thought to make cannibalism illegal until some guy ate another guy. That is pretty stupid if they are. Stop shooting for the moon and get SOMETHING. It doesn't have to be a top tier AAA anime. Just something of decent quality that hasn't been on the block before. Also, apparently a promo for the special was supposed to air tonight, but never did.
  4. Wow, what a prick. I guess they could have trained with someone else, but maybe they didn't want to. Also don't most people only have one quirk anyway?
  5. I would love to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson's reaction to this. I don't think you can just put a star back together. 🤣
  6. I don't suppose they can use time travel again to save him? I guess you can only change stuff once?
  7. Man, Saturn Girl sure isn't going to be happy about this.
  8. Get away from the gravity, Superman and Limelight!
  9. Uh, it already detonated. Whaaaaa Star Boy is going to sacrifice himself to stop it?!
  10. He just injured his girl's face. Serves them right! Now they can the the Skeletor Couple!
  11. And it takes sunlight 8 minutes to reach the Earth, so that eyeball is traveling faster than light?!
  12. Pretty crazy that guy can even destroy lantern constructs. Maybe should have let that lady try to call off the eyeball? Oh well. Star. Boy. Star Boy. Hahaha. So, Superman, Jessica, and Star Boy will have to stop this.
  13. Jessica is in her room, and has a lantern on her eye? So it really did bring her home. Stopped their time machine! Now you guys are stuck here while the sun is about to explode lmao.
