    Eh he's not supposed to be THIS pretty lmao. You were a kid when this came out? Says it's from 2008.
  2. ben0119
    Yeah it has that going for it. I don't know this show seemed messed up from what I came across but I didn't look into it deeply at all. Maybe I have the wrong idea about it. I'll see how it turns out, I guess.

    You're only as good as your drive. Get it?! HAHAHA! LOL used the magnetic watch.

    I wanted to say he looks like Light Yagami but the hair isn't quite the same haha.
  5. ben0119
    Now this one looks the most like anime. But Bruce looks really weird and has a pretty boy hair. What the heck.
  6. ben0119
    Naw this doesn't look that anime-like. It looks like comic book art or art for animation DC would use. Doesn't look cheap to me. And the first one had really weird looking characters but cool backgrounds.
  7. ben0119
    No when I saw the trailer for the show debuting I literally thought it was an anime at first lmao.

    Oh hey they actually did what I and others suggested and got a show that's already dubbed from the past few years. From what I have seen, heard, and read, though, Assassination Classroom seems... disturbing. Also the yellow tentacle guy looks creepy as fuck.

    "No, you won't." So epic.
  10. ben0119
    No, it looks more like traditional comic book art, art you would see for some animated comic book stuff, though not the Bruce Timm stuff specifically. Boondocks almost looks like anime haha.
  11. ben0119
    Lol that yeah-huh nuh-uh argument about Batman.
  12. ben0119
    Why the hell would they let the inmates wander the island?
  13. ben0119
    Transfer out of the MCU? But this is DC! Oh, "Major Crimes Unit." Heh.
  14. ben0119
    So is this an anthology? The character designs in the first one were weird but I liked the background art, animation, and music was great. Now for this part the art is totally different and seems more traditional comic booky.

    It's a good thing I could see close, but still. x_x Did I say how I lost my old ones? They fell off my face because of the stupid mask pulling my ears down, into the toilet at Sam's and then the automatic flusher sucked them down! I needed new ones anyway but was putting it off because of covid. That kind of forced me to get new ones at that point lmao. Yeah I don't know if the nozzle had a cap or seal on it but the spray blasted out like a jetstream and knocked the nest down and I don't think it hit them all!

    Hmm these don't sound quite like Batman to me lol. Shadow powarz hahaha. Batman? More like Man-bat! And lol at the kaiju noises. Mecha-Batman?! Well, conceivably Batman could have a suit like this, but this kid is saying it like he is literally a robot. But that isn't the case. Ah! Now THAT'S the real Batman!

    I think it blew up before it hit the skyscraper.

    Last night was kind of shitty. Botched battle with yellowjackets amongst other things going on. But at least I didn't get stung. But I finally got my glasses! I can watch TV without sitting 2-3 feet in front of the screen!

    The whole Lucky Lecher Lure thing is supposed to be funny because of how random and ridiculous it is. Although it happens so frequently it kind of undermines Tamaki's character. She couldn't even have a serious battle with that guy in the Nether because the Lucky Lecher Lure happened.

    Here is the whole interview. https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/08/03/interview-weekly-shonen-magazine-editor-details-fire-force-success-working-with-ohkubo-sensei/ I had remembered recently that the Soul Eater manga had a bunch of weird fan service that the anime mostly didn't use, and thought maybe this is why Fire Force suffered. Because it sticks too close to the manga. I remember hearing about all kinds of crazy scenes, like one where the zombie guy sees Maka's panties, which he doesn't care/no-sells. Which I guess is kind of funny, but I can see why they wouldn't use that scene in the anime. So I definitely just thought the issue was just with the author this whole time. ...was this editor around back then, too? I thought it was funny when the editor said they make sure things are easy to understand. Was all that bullshit with Sho's powers and Shinra's counter supposed to be easy to understand?
  21. ben0119
    No, it was just the dumbass OP that did that.
  22. ben0119
    I didn't see "Count Frylock is a dumb fuck" as one of the poll choices. You really don't know when to quit, do you? Oh, I see this thread was made on July 28th but I didn't see it until now for some reason. Still...

    This is the one I saw. https://gizmodo.com/crunchyroll-might-get-sold-to-sony-wait-what-1844704873 I didn't realize AT&T had so much debt. I have no idea how that even happened. But I can't say I feel too sorry for them. They are a garbage company. Our phone service was actually good until they bought Cingular and ruined it, and we became AT&T customers. Oh joy! How the hell can a company even exist while being 151 billion in debt? Given most, if not all, of these Toonami originals are co-productions with Crunchyroll, what the hell is going to happen to the shows if Crunchyroll gets sold to Sony? And if Sony buys Crunchyroll, won't they have too much of a stranglehold over anime, since they already own Funimation? Also seems like it could be redundant to own both and I could see them being merged or consolidated under a single owner. This all could also affect how Toonami acquires shows, or continues to even exist. Crunchyroll was presumably the back up. In theory it was supposed to be easier to get shows from them since they are under the same parent company. If Toonami faltered it could be co-branded with Crunchyroll, or worse comes to worse, taken over as a Crunchyroll block, possibly with or without the Toonami branding, but at least a linear live broadcasting block of anime could continue in the United States. I really can't see a purpose for Toonami on a streaming platform. Where do you put hosts or reviews etc when people are just clicking on things to watch whenever they want? And yeah all the layoffs don't sound good either. Basically, it's possible and even likely that Demarco is going to be fucked eight ways past Tuesday soon.

    Where would it move to? If you mean a streaming platform, it probably won't work with the on-demand nature of viewing.
  25. ben0119
    Now that is a very likely scenario. If their money is already tied up in shows that got delayed, they won't have much to spend on anything to fill the gaps. Still, I can't believe you would defend Demarco. Have you not seen the state of the block lately? I'm talking pre-covid. Cuts to time slots left and right, and old excuse of we like a shorter block is trucked out, and no real explanation given for the cuts. I'm sure whatever happened wasn't his fault or his decision. It never is. But when something good happens Demarco is all too eager to take the praise. Demarco has been in the business for decades but he has not innovated or kept track of current trends since at least the bulk of the last decade of his career. He has decades of experience but has been caught with his pants down multiple times not even knowing when shows rights were expiring, and other issues with shows he should have known about or been prepared for. He had plenty of notice on Food Wars running out of episodes but wasn't able to get the deal done in time for the next season. Demarco knew the next season was with another company since he got the first two. Not that I care so much about that show, but it's yet another example of incompetence. He will only put on what he likes, assuming he has even seen it. Like I said, he is out of touch. And you're supposed to market to viewers, not yourself! I don't think I can do better than Demarco, but if I and many other viewers can point out these obvious issues and can think of probable solutions, surely there is someone out there better for the job than Demarco.
