I don't think Eri can rewind what was already rewound, right? That would mean "undo" button which I don't think she has.

Eraserhead- "Are you sure you actually want to do something relevant in this show, Uraraka?"

That flashback. Lol fuck you Night Eye. Wasn't it already proven his predictions aren't absolute? All Might may not die after all, Deku.

Went to the train museum and got back earlier. Just got done watching my friend stream FF7 Remake. Too bad his internet was acting up and dropping frames and stuff. www.twitch.tv/espigafreth Is there a Corona-chan? Yes of course. Internet, you did not disappoint!

shippuden Naruto Shippuden Episode 286 Discussion
ben0119 replied to StarPanda's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I wonder how much Shippuden factors in, since it is so old and so long, it's probably not too expensive and they probably don't have to much active work on it, and don't have to come up with replacements for that slot etc. That said Demarco did say the block could expand again if need be, when certain shows and opportunities present themselves. They could shorten the block after WoU part 1 ends and then expand again to get the last part. That is really the best case scenario if what you said comes to pass, but I really hope it doesn't! I guess we're just going to have to wait and see if Toonami continues to waste away as more shows end! But I really thought we were done with the hemorrhaging! -

Oh it is far from being the be-all, and-all. Hasn't been for a long time. But it could still be a beacon of sorts, of anime quality and selection. Surely they can do better than this bullshit they just pulled? Right, there is an abundance of content. But that's like people telling me to watch some other wrestling show because I'm disappointed with some of the booking and storylines in WWE, when I'm already watching 7 hours of wrestling a week as it is. (Also, I have watched AEW, and it is a lot of televised house shows with no-selling, no psychology videogame matches and no storylines, and goofiness like Dark Order and Best Friends, and acting like everyone already knows all their wrestlers as if they have been on TV for 5 years and not giving anyone any backstory or explaining anything. It sure is not the "good wrestling" alternative to WWE.) No matter how much you like something, you only want so much of it. You eventually get tired of it and want to do something else. There is also the fact of just not having the time. I guess for myself it is really self-inflicted and self-imposed (like trying to keep my DVR backlog at bay,) since I have plenty of actual free time, but there are still other things I'm into other than anime, that I devote myself to. But Toonami and before it ASA being such a part of my routine and habit for years ensures I would get at least that much anime per week. And now I'm going to be getting less and less. So, I'm going to have to branch out and change up my routine, I suppose. But I am certainly a creature of habit so that will be difficult to do. There's also the fact that you really can't replicate the experience of watching shows live and discussing them. Even if I were to do the vastly out of character thing of watching anime right as they come out in Japanese that aren't sequels to shows I am already a huge fan of, people will only be discussing them after the fact. Also, lots of other anime communities out there are garbage. Social media is not good for discussing shows, either. And Reddit's layout is atrocious. And nobody really talks about the shows in the Anime section here. That "What are you watching" thread is really just a public blog or journal but no one really talks about anything. Bleh. Still, it looks like my hand is only continuing to be further forced as Toonami continues to dissipate, as Demarco keeps crap shows like Shippuden and Food Wars and madly focuses on Spruce Gooses like Junge Ito. Again it is his lack of priorities. Especially to be wasting money on such things if the block is such a dire state.

I thought it was because most of the people weren't at the studio anymore. Either way, this kind of defeats the purpose of making more FLCL. Even though, as I mentioned, I'm glad some of the concepts and characters from Progressive exist.

Wut?

Yeah there is the slice of life stuff. I think I remember people saying they liked that better than the actual races? And yeah, I mentioned how I zoned out when I watched the show no matter how hard I tried to give it my full attention, and it has been years since I've seen it, but I am having trouble remembering the stuff I would have brought up. I want to say I think you are right with some of the characters being shown as like actual people. But some of the others are over-the-top caricatures, many of the opponent teams. And characters could be unlikable or annoying, but I guess that doesn't necessarily make them unrealistic. I do remember the show would do things like having non-Japanese characters bow to each other and shit and that got on my nerves. But yeah I am really having trouble remembering examples. Also it did help how it was hyped up as far as disappointment with the show. TOONAMI'S FIRST ORIGINAL FROM THE MAKERS OF GHOST IN THE SHELL. Then finding out it is just about racing. Which, while the robot combat racing concept was an original idea in itself, it's also the safest option they could come up with, as in, the story basically writes itself and they don't have to sell people on any crazy out there idea, and no one is going to get seriously hurt, either. Yeah there was the cursing, but eh, whoopty-doo. Yeah, I had to look up which one was Liz and which one was Fantine. And I honestly can't remember how I felt about that all that much, or if I felt much at all. Edit - Ah shit, Fantine isn't the name of the other girl on Takeshi's team, she's from that other team. Amy is the other girl on the team. I forgot more than I thought. Season 2 did stuff to go along with what fans said? I never knew that. I didn't think there was a time gap in their production? I will at least say the show managed to do a good job of showing the characters struggle, even though they win both seasons. They don't come off as over-powered or getting the victories too easily. A lot of shows would have had them lose either the first time, or the second time, would have been easier to do. Like how Rocky loses in Rocky 1. But then again, there are only so many sports plots you can do and many of them have been done to death. Yeah I don't remember the whole Rocket G thing that well. I think I might have thought it was obvious that was him, or I didn't expect it all. Can't remember. He did put on some pounds and looked drastically different though lol. The writers probably didn't anticipate the ease of figuring out someone's identity in the future, either, heh. Huh. I can see someone who is so passionate about a series they make fan fictions, to be more defensive about said series. But to take it as if insults and criticism are directed at their fan fiction as well as the original content? Ehhh? That's... odd... to say the least. You're welcome. Well you are defending it a lot for something that is a secret favorite or guilty pleasure. Also I'm pretty sure guilty pleasure would mean you like/care about it less than secret favorite? Guilty pleasure is like something someone knows is bad but enjoys it anyway. Actually, according to a quick search, it's just something that is held in poor regard that the person is ashamed of watching, so it may not be bad to them after all. Google refuses to bring up anything on secret favorite but I would assume it means exactly what it says, and would still be a better category than guilty pleasure. Secret favorite doesn't mean you are ashamed of liking it. But anyway. And yeah it is even weirder for you to defend the show if you aren't even that high on it. AHA! I was right!
