  1. I have not heard southern accents in dubs in years until Food Wars and then inexplicably with that Lillian character in Dr. Stone. Nico Robin isn't meant to be Japanese in ethnicity though, and her island doesn't look like a redneck type of place. She did have a cowgirl outfit back then, and I have heard people say that was basically the only logic for 4Kidz giving her that accent. Not sure if Robin has any dialect or accent in Japanese, either. Oh, Jaguar D. Saul. I had to look him up to remember who he was. I didnt realize Robin was copying his look. I dunno then.
  2. Yeah, it is some kind of Stockholm syndrome/brain-washing/conditioning etc. I thought Lisa just felt indebted to Giovanni or something, or maybe scared of him, but after she freaked out about being left behind, even after he wrapped hot cable around her neck and stabbed her in the side and used her as a shield, there must be more to it than that. It's unfortunate that rescuing her won't be so easy as just taking her back with them, it seems.
  3. What do you mean? She definitely seemed to break away from it at times, and took a liking to Vulcan while she was with him. But then she started freaking out after Giovanni left her there, so I dunno.
  4. You think Tsukasa is not a worthy enemy for Senku and the others? I think the show would have been just fine without an antagonist. Just the story of rebuilding civilization and reviving humanity would have been enough. And Tsukasa was basically not a factor at all in this whole arc in the village and it was fine. But it is what it is. I guess the author is going for the brains over brawn and value of science blah blah blah thing. Well I mean, he's already been betrayed by Gen.
  5. Isn't that what people had been saying before the show came on Toonami to the people who hadn't seen it? That it's nothing earth shattering or groundbreaking, but is a well done shonen? So far I tend to agree, but I am disappointed with the utilization of the women.
  6. I was going to say, Mochi, don't get your hopes up lmao. I still can't believe those were meant to be trans characters. x_x
  7. I was saying they were intelligent. I guess I didn't see season 4, because I don't remember Boondocks getting bad. What happened?
  8. And, The Promised Neverland manga started right as Bleach was winding down, so it's been going for a while. Since 2016, and it started on August 1st back then apparently. So there should be PLENTY of material to adapt. I guess just 12 episodes were done for the first season to make sure it would be successful.
  9. I really wish season 2 was coming sooner. I want to know what happened to Norman. I'm almost sure he didn't die, but I still want to see it. But since Toonami is replaying this, it makes practically guaranteed they will air season 2 as well.
  10. Knowing now that Ray knew all along maybe that's why he believed the story so easily.
  11. Oh yeah, looks like maybe she was checking to see if they had figured out that far and had it removed?
  12. It seems like the security measures aren't high enough. But it's probably assumed most kids won't discover the nature of things in the first place. Still, kids are curious, mischievous, and adventurous. Kids have surely gone to the gate or tried to escape at times even if they didn't know they were really living on farms.
  13. The mood of the orphanage and the way Mom comes across changes on a dime after the reveal. Damn evil smile from Mom.
  14. To be fair, learning and doing certain things does actually change your physical brain structure. The example of taxi drivers memorizing their routes was used on a special on PBS. So there is some validity to this. Not sure how it would affect flavor though.
  15. If 12 year olds are higher quality why ship out anyone younger?
  16. Damn what an awful nightmare. I don't remember where that intro clip is from.
  17. I mistyped. 296 to 302 are canon. That's still a shit ton of filler though. I hope it's not those random what-if fillers like in Bleach but who knows. I hope they dont flash back to part 1 anymore either.
  18. That important intel that she's in love with Naruto almost slipped out LOL. What other secrets??
  19. Damn, disintegrated by insects! No way I'd attack a girl lol. There's the real Hinata.
  20. Well they probably wouldn't know that Hinata likes Naruto lmao. Well maybe not, if they gathered personal info. She's helping, hmm... oh so she is the fake. They got it from Yamato? Ok LOL.
  21. Damn, I just checked Anime Filler List and it says this episode and the next two are filler. So I guess that explains why the drastic change of location and relevancy to what was going on before. Then there's two episodes of canon, then 284 through 295 are filler. x_x Then 296 to 302 are canon, then 303 to 320 are filler, then it's canon for a good while after that. What a mess this show is.
  22. So he thinks Kiba could be a clone. Hinata could be too... since she got separated.
