Yes, that was a fucking zeppelin! Definite difference in technology! And a wall not tall enough to keep Titans out I don't think. Grisha and Faye had to wear special armbands and can't go past the wall.

Oh hey they are airing it after all. Good job, Toonami! I was going to say just be smooth and air it like a cold open for this episode. But they decided to acknowledge and own up for their mistake.

Wow, Toonami, spoil much with that promo?

It's still bullshit that Piccolo got chumped out like that. Another universe down. Do you feel guilty yet, Goku? I THINK THE ELEVENTH HAS A CHANCE WITH THEIR GT ROBOT ARMY YOU GUYS.

Hey Goku remember when you fought a little bug guy?

That's a real finishing move! Nowhere near a full power Final Flash for this joker though lol. I thought that guy was full of shit but he really did get knocked out. Oh that guy was suppressing his energy. They need an invisible android! Piccolo got eliminated from that?!

18. I figured out he was invisible because I couldn't see him lmao. Oh yeah one of Baba's warriors was invisible right. Also that guy with the evil beam would be able to beat any villain in the series LOL.

Not just contracts like Poke said, but Demarco knows it's best for business! He even said it's worth airing (and watching) a show even if there's one objectionable scene or two. And SAO is not the only rapey offender. Not that that makes it any better, just saying this isn't an SAO-only thing. Kill la Kill comes to mind. Though, funnily enough, the GGO Alternative series is probably the least offensive of all of them, and Toonami didn't get that. I'm hoping they air it as a buffer until Alicization Part 2 comes out, but I don't know if the timing would work out or if they're able or willing to do that. The reason Reki gave was his inspiration from light novels he read in middle school that had rape scenes. Not... a very good reason, lol. And we all know why he puts it in. It's to get the villains more heel heat. It's not like Reki is doing a deep examination of rape and how the victims deal with it or something. Like I have mentioned in the past, you could easily do this whole "there's some things against the law that you should do, and some things that are legal that you shouldn't do" thing, and Kirito and Eugeo defending themselves and the girls from those assholes, killing one and maiming the other, and getting arrested without including the rape element at all. Also, why is it that the villains are either over-the-top psychos like Sugo, the Death Gun brothers, and Kuradeel (the crazy Laughing Coffin guy that infiltrated Kirito and Asuna's guild,) or calm, cool, collected, and chill as fuck, like Kayaba and Kikuouka? Hell, Kikuoka didn't even seem like a villain in earlier seasons! He was definitely suspicious as fuck, though. Anyway, Reki at least apologized and said he won't do it anymore. He's also promised to correct other issues and give other characters more screen time and use the women better. I can't think of too many other Japanese creators that would do this. They would just keep going along doing their stupid shit, if they ever even got questions and criticism from the industry media and fans in the first place. https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/12/15/sword-art-online-alicization-sexual-assault-creator-response/ https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/01/20/sword-art-online-sexual-assault-plot-device-comments-reki-kawahara/ https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-21/sword-art-online-author-reki-kawahara-says-female-characters-should-not-be-treated-as-trophies/.142337

I may as well post some of my own - I find the lack of Alice porn disturbing...

After I do the finagling in other tabs to get the broken pics to load they pop up and start working in the thread after that. So nothing you or I do now will work as a "test" now that I've gotten them to work. I've turned off adblock for this site and I'll see if that makes a difference in the future. Not sure what you did different in your second post, in any case. It looks like you still linked to the danbooru sample pic. I think I recall yandere having a no hotlinking thing before, but I could be thinking of zerochan or something else. I don't know if that whole "no hotlinking!" thing is still so prevalent these days. On mobile Chrome the top picture works but the bottom one doesn't! WUT! No ad blocker on my phone, by the way. Time to dust off some browsers I guess... Same deal on mobile Samsung internet browser. Same for Firefox on PC. Same thing on *bleh* Internet Explorer. That's so weird that I couldn't get the first one to work Chrome on my PC, but now it's the other way around! x_x Now to try the fixes... On mobile Chrome I held down and opened image in new tab and it loaded the image by itself in that other tab. I refreshed the thread and it started working in the thread. Samsung mobile browser would not let me copy the image url. And when I tried to copy the text after the broken image icon, it didn't go anywhere. Google said it did not match any documents. On Firefox the picture loaded after copying and pasting in another tab. The picture still doesn't show up after refreshing the thread after getting the pic to load in another tab. Don't know if being logged into the boards affects this. I'm not going to try to log in on all these browsers. Clicking "show picture" on the yandere embed (don't remember that option) on Internet Explorer did not show the picture, but I got it to work there by copying and pasting the url into another tab. It didn't make it start working in the thread here, either. I did find it interesting it loaded the pic by itself where with the others they loaded the whole yandere post page. I think maybe the thing of loading the image in another tab and then refreshing the thread to get the embed to work may be a Chrome-only feature. All your new pics work everywhere, though! I almost didn't recognize one of the girls, then I realized that must be Liz IRL, and Liz is barely shown in-game or out, lmao.

I think it has to be an alternate world. I think a LOT would have to have happened for it become like this. Including a technology regression. Because even where Grisha came from is not on our level. We'll have to see though. I am beginning to believe the spoiler I thought I read when I skimmed a synopsis for this show before season 1 aired on Toonami was either total bullshit, or I somehow read a synopsis for something completely different, but I have no idea what that could be. Probably highly unlikely to be a spoiler at this point, but marking just in case -

I can't think of many anime that actually references and criticizes Japan's own role and atrocities during the war, though, except maybe The Wind Rises. Code Geass even actually tries to act like Japan is a victim of imperialism.

I wish you hadn't pointed that out lol. But it would probably be pretty obvious to hear it anyway. I thought the voice for the sister was cute.

Not just deleted, that account was TERMINATED! Indead it will lmao.

Someone in program edit department cut this?! Some heads better roll! And does he really think posting it to Facebook is good enough?! A lot of people that just watch the block will be lost! There's no indication anything is even cut just from watching the broadcast! They should've used my idea! You should've done better than this, Demarco! And look at that, I'm not nearly the only person who thinks this. And he said they won't get fired! They had ONE JOB, though!

I just watched it! They are horrible and even nonsensical at times! What the heck?! Was this translated by a English second or third language person, or a robot?! If you got to see the other clip before it got taken down, what did you think of those? They seemed to make enough sense and agree with the dub for the most part, from what I could tell.

A breakdown of the characters' ages throughout the series... https://totallyspies.fandom.com/wiki/Beverly_Hills_High 14 - 15: 9th Grade, Freshman: Season 1 15 - 16: 10th Grade, Sophomore: Season 2 16 - 17: 11th Grade, Junior: Season 3 17 - 18: 12th Grade, Senior: Season 4 https://totallyspies.fandom.com/wiki/Malibu_University 18 - 19: Freshman: Season 5 19 - 20: Sophomore: Season 6 20 - 21: Junior: 21 - 22: Senior:

I was going to say that the original creator dying mid-production would be another reason not to watch it, until I read this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Oum "The company stated that Oum had shared much of his vision for the future of the story with the rest of the production staff and that these ideas would remain the basis for future work on the show." https://archive.is/20150310152542/http://roosterteeth.com/news/entry.php?id=5678655

The art and animation looks off. And cel-shaded stuff is real hit or miss. If you can't pull it off well, it just looks bad. And the stunt casting could imply a lack of confidence in the material.

I highly doubt Japan treats it like real anime. I'd be surprised if they even gave a shit about it. Regardless, and this isn't a statement on quality at all, if a show wasn't made in Japan, it's not anime, period. Edit - Okay so it was dubbed into Japanese and put on Japanese TV. I wasn't able to find ratings for it, but the Blu-Ray sales were not amazing or anything. https://www.reddit.com/r/RWBY/comments/5gxzot/so_how_popular_is_rwby_in_japan_now/ "They're definitely not absolutely fantastic. Something that's absolutely fantastic is like K-On!- (first TV anime to sell 500k BDs), Monogatari- (highest single volume sales at 80k), or Love Live-levels (the movie sold 194k BDs in its first week). And the second Evangelion Rebuild sold 319k discs (BD+DVD) on its first day. RWBY's JP sales are a solid good, and great for a non-Japanese property that isn't a feature film. Still not fantastic, though."

The characters, art, animation, all look very awkward and wonky in the pictures and clips I have seen of RWBY. Definitely some unnatural body and facial movements. This Gen:Lock has that too, but not as bad. Still looks off to me, though.

That's a silly rule to have, but I wouldn't blame you for skipping this show anyway. Besides, Clone Wars! That was a direct successor to Genndy's Clone Wars micro-series. But, it wasn't a Toonami premiere, just "new to Toonami."

Why did they cast these people and how did they even afford them? To me it just comes off like the stunt casting that's done in animated movies these days to draw in audiences instead of having the movies stand on their own merits. Voice acting is different from regular acting, I don't like that voice actors are getting screwed out of these prominent roles, and sometimes a big name celebrity can just make it distracting and ruin immersion and suspension of disbelief. I will say that it seemed to work out for Shrek though. What the fuck?

I really don't know if it's a good idea to put Lupin second and Food Wars third. Lupin is likely to turn off casuals with it's retro look and they will head for the hills when Food Wars ecchi nonsense comes on. Not that I care about ratings that much, but the ratings need to stay good enough at least for Toonami to stay on air. Weird we still don't know what's replacing SAO. It ends tomorrow. They better come up with something. I didn't know about the odd runtimes. I think it has to be last then otherwise I don't know what they're going to do to get it to work. A lot of viewers don't like irregular runtimes and that could also maybe mess with DVRs, I'm not sure. Maybe that's it, but Toonami doesn't really do these "power hours" as much as you think they do or want them to. I think Attack on Titan and The Promised Neverland was very much intentional, though.
