Uhh it's your fault too Night Eye.

LOL buying girly toys. He could be one of those adult men that into little girls' TV shows for some reason...

So that's how Tsuyu keeps her hair when she sleeps. Bed head Uraraka. Aww tired Nejire. And her hair wrapped around her LOL.

They should have enlisted McGruff to help with this.

There's no world war happening... you gotta stop acting like Chicken Little all the time.

Fuck you Night Eye and fuck you Mirio. If it weren't for you Ari would have been rescued. Minimally involved hahaha. The Big Three can handle it... It was one of the big three who let Ari go back to her dad! They're out if League of Villains get involved... more BS.

FINALLY THE TOONAMI DROUGHT IS AT AN END! I hope everyone's Christmas and New Year's went well. I had a good time.

That's from Super, so not even in the same time period as when Dragon Ball Z and One Piece were both on back then. I'd say there were probably more over-the-top and cartoonish characters in Dragon Ball, but DBZ got played first, so. We also barely saw the cartoon animal people in DBZ like we saw in Dragon Ball too.

Oh yeah that's right, Vic did the OP for One Piece, several of the themes, I think, actually. So that's tainted now and can never be listened to again. Didn't he also do the only good version of Dragon Soul that we kept asking Toonami to play but Demarco just kept playing all the other horribly sung versions? But no, people probably weren't going to come back to it after that lol. Though I will say that I still got into the show even despite the 4Kidz stuff, and I'm sure a lot of people got into the show through that version. Though probably many more were turned off of it because of it. Though I think even with the best localization, it would not have caught on huge like other shows. Maybe it would be more popular than it is now, but I don't think it would have been a vast difference.

I always thought you turned heel on One Piece because of Moose, since you used to be one of its biggest fans and defenders. So I'm not really sure why you did such a 180 on it, or why you're still making fun of it now.

I don't think that would have happened even if One Piece was localized well when it first came here. But I recently saw... I think was either Twitter posts or Youtube videos or something, where the dub for One Piece was being picked back up. Apparently the dub had been stopped for years and hadn't gotten far into the time skip. So even if I had kept watching where I left off, I wouldn't have had much more dubbed episodes to watch. I had always assumed they were right on top of it. They had plenty of time to catch up on the old episodes and I would figure were even giving it the simuldub treatment at this point. So it's is really odd that the dub was just stopped for years, if it was one of Funimation's biggest most marquee shows. That doesn't speak well to One Piece's success in the U.S. And then Funimation started posting spoiler clips of One Piece, which pissed me the hell off, so I had to unsubscribe to their Youtube channel. They spoiled a character's appearance and Devil Fruit Power.

If it was just about money I would think they'd just replace Waki. I am surprised they were as nice to him as they were, given the bad reputation Japan has for treating employees. So they must really care about him and not wanting him to not get even worse by firing him, and/or his position isn't so easy to fill, as far as his talent and style and expertise.

Yeah, those really should have been longer. Not saying we needed a huge arc of them fighting Hibana's company, but they roflstomp through them and then Hibana has an epiphany after ONE PUNCH hahaha. We were barely introduced to Rekka's company when he goes crazy and turns on Tamaki and starts trying to kill kids. Then the whole thing of his relationship with Tamaki was shown after the fact. Not great. But yes, since then it has been a lot better and better balance, like you said. The only kind of silly thing recently, was making up the Nether concept in the same episode as showing a flashback why Shinra knows about it, and then saying that's where the White Clad base is. It is said that White Clad base is found off-screen by Licht with "clues and evidence," which was kind of ehh, but we know he has been doing mysterious things behind the scenes with Joker, and we don't know what their true motives and allegiances are, so it's likely they knew where the base was a while ago and Licht just said that. Last episode was pretty great, in any case.

As I said, they edited the OPs and EDs too. I saw in a post from Sketchor that he said ASA gave more time to them than Toonami does, but I really can't remember that well. I know for InuYasha they only played the ED, I think in full, and didn't play the OP at all. So I didn't even hear the OPs until someone from the old boards sent me some CDs of them. Not sure how much later it was I saw the actual visuals. But Youtube either didn't exist or would've been in its infancy then. I certainly don't remember any easy ways to hear/see themes if you didn't buy the shows on home video back then. Maybe fan sites. A lot of those were just midi versions though. Maybe because of the bandwidth back then? Something else I just remembered. You could see it as the years wore on, shows that had their full OPs and EDs played at first, or at least longer cuts, got cut down more and more over the years, fast-forwarded, etc. I remember this with Bebop and Big O. And that was before Toonami ever came around. The point is, ASA had no Tom or Sara or anything, but they still edited stuff. The reason given was always commercials. So for Demarco to claim it's because of the Toonami packaging doesn't make sense. Maybe it is true that Toonami cuts more than ASA does, but it doesn't seem that different to me. But I'm sure someone out there has done a thorough examination.

Are you talking about "TV size?" No one ever claimed the songs that play during the OP are the full song. That's also a way to sell CDs and MP3s, etc. And it doesn't make sense to devote 2-4 minutes to a song anyway. Also seems that Japanese songs are longer in general. Not sure what's up with that. As I mentioned before some songs never got to play through full the first time. Some of the songs also have crappy edits. Toonami are supposed to be the editing masters, so you think they could do better. And if they aren't doing it, and if Demarco cares so much about quality as he claims, he should request that the licensors deliver better edits of the songs. The Black Clover one doesn't even get to the actual song and is just the build. That's just pure stupidity that they would edit it like that, whoever is responsible. The skipping thing is annoying. There doesn't seem to be a way to make that box not appear on Disney Plus, either. We're talking about it because countfrylock made a thread... so naturally everyone else is going to come in and bitch about it too.

I think that hasn't happened a few times. And the Shippuden OPs only get played the one time, but nobody cares about that. The Naruto themes are mostly bad anyway. Maybe not that they are computer illiterate, but they wouldn't know what to look up, since the band and song name don't always get labeled onscreen, and they may not know which OP it was, so just typing in the show name and OP followed by a number may not get them what they are looking for, and they could also end up with spoilers if they happen upon an OP from later in the show with the visuals for whatever later arc. Really it is risky business when it comes to Youtubing or Googling any particular anime in general when it comes to spoilers. That's why I don't really watch any anime reviewers or anime video content because they are full of spoilers and usually no warnings given either, because they'll casually make a comparison to some random show, or they have to do those stupid lists for a bunch of shows and a few of them you wouldn't have seen. Also a risk for looking up the porn too lol. They also may have crappy internet. Or they might not decide to look up the OPs and EDs in the first place.

I can see that I guess, I just rather it was something new. Even if it were to throw them a bone, it could have been a lower end property from Aniplex instead of a rerun. It's not leading into Promised Neverland Season 2, so that's not it. I suppose it can just be a buy for time until they possibly replace it with something new, but it still just seems like a waste to me. I don't get the feeling they will cut it off early arbitrarily either.

How do you know that? And what do you mean air another show between cours?

The edit to the Black Clover OP is the worst. They just play the build and never get to the actual song. It would have made much more sense to cut the build and just go straight to the song itself.

Hmm. I don't remember how Mine spoke that well. I thought her voice was higher pitched than Alice. Oh, of course haha.

Is it really? I thought it was because we didn't have time to dedicate so much screen time to seeing all these competitors' dishes being made. So we just see them take them to the judges and explain what they did.

I am warming up the show and some of the characters as it has been on. Who knows, maybe it is even an intentional light intermission between the heavier stuff around it, on DeMarco's part.

I can't remember if it was on Ask.fm or twitter Twitter and don't have the link handy, but DeMarco claimed that they have to edit the OPs and EDs to fit in the Toonami packaging, and I asked him why ASA did the same thing when they had no Toonami packaging and he said something along the lines of he doesn't know but that is why Toonami edits the OPs and Ed's and this is how we do things blah blah blah. Sounds like bullshit to me, though. But what about the casuals that don't go on YouTube? They'll never hear the full song.

I could have sworn it was Sonny Strait. If there has been no indication from Toonami, Strait, or anyone else that it is, that is odd. But a good impression of Strait's Tom by Steve Blum, if that was the intention. But I don't know why they wouldn't just get Sonny Strait back.

DeMarco also tried to get Sailor Moon Crystal but Hulu had it locked up.
