Double MHA and dubbed One Piece crossover to air March 4th
ben0119 replied to Toonamiguy321's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
That's all well and good if you can do that. I think it depends on the nature of the crime and the involvement of the artist. To me, sex crimes are pretty hard to come back from. An author or artist is probably easier to separate, especially if you don't look into behind the scenes stuff. Actors are right in your face, and voice actors to a lesser extent. Anytime I hear about Toriko, the first thing that pops into my head is that the creator is a perv. So while I would never seek out the content regardless, this makes me want to steer clear of it entirely. It's the same reason I'll never know how Kenshin ends. I was luckily able to finish my re-watch of the series and OVAs, but Watsuki got busted before I could read the manga. Rurouni Kenshin is forever tainted now. And I just found out he did Buso Renkin, so I guess I'm never watching that... I have no idea of the royalties manga/anime creators get from stuff airing on Toonami. I'd bet they probably get more from streaming services. This crossover episode would be a lot more palatable if it was just One Piece and Dragon Ball. Who the hell invited Toriko to the party?! Besides the author's crime, it's also just a third rate franchise most have no interest in. While I will avoid the Toriko manga and anime like the plague, given this has Dragon Ball and One Piece in it, and is on Toonami, I'll watch it for completion's sake. Yeah, but it's not like the guy did some petty shop-lifting or something. Sex crimes are pretty hard to come back from. Don't those people never change their predilections? I doubt this was the only time he did it, either. I don't know the nature of Mike Tyson's crimes, since I was never a fan of boxing or him in particular. But, if he actually did what he was convicted of (looking it up just now, sure sounds like he did it,) this is the only time I can think of someone coming back from something like this. Mike Tyson was once thought of as monstrous (he did a lot of other stuff, besides the rape,) now he does comedies and plays with pigeons. But I can't think of any other examples. You are probably right, though, that this special airing is not likely to get much traction for Toriko or any of the mangaka's other work. -

I don't know why no one has brought it up yet, but the Toriko mangaka is a known sex offender. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2002-08-07/mitsutoshi-shimabukuro-arrested I'm not sure how Demarco can claim to be this big progressive guy when he is airing something with this man's work in it. Also, the concept for Toriko never seemed appealing anyway. This is about a guy collecting food ingredients. And the further stalling tactics and doubled up MHA (why not One Piece or Shippuden?) does not inspire confidence. -
Wasn't that like 70 episodes ago? 🤣 Oh ok. Well he either didn't know or didn't care I guess.

Imagine if everyone else reacted like this after losing a loved one, whether they were murdered or not. Even without superpowers, that would cause a lot of chaos.
-
Oh that's right. Eh 7/10 is generous given all the nonsense that happened in this movie lmao. This is like if the edgelord writers of Tokyo Ghoul or Akame Ga Kill got to make a DC movie hahaha.

I think all the deaths were overkill and lost meaning after a while. Also hard to believe Superman would do all this. It's not the real Superman from Earth-1, but still. I guess it was just "based on" and not an exact re-telling.
-
It wasn't the same one as the Superman?
-
Talk no Jutsu wasn't believable?
-
Oh haha. You're sitting on a literal throne. Its a chair. 🤣 Sinestro has a bad guy mustache and not hiding it haha.
-
You just now see reason... A little too late, Clark. A red sun prison. Nice. Let him out when they need him haha.
-
Yeah there's no way the Superman we know would go this batshit.
-
Superman really has lost it if he is going to go after the other heroes after they saved him.
-
We're Earth-1, you're Earth-22. 🤣 Oh, this was an alternate Earth all along. That's the real Superman!
-
Watch your feet, and remember, you don't have to kill everyone you fight. 🤣
-
😑

That must have been one long-ass cut scene, unless there were flashbacks throughout the game.
-
Really??
-
Wow Plastic Man is more useful than I thought!
-
Superman brought a train engine!
-
With this many deaths so fast the impact was worn off.
-
How could this all happen before the game starts?
-
What are you, nuts? You're a guy in a suit. Let me help. 🤣
