  1. I read this as "I cannot stand either Vic-voiced character" and was going to say "VIC IS IN BOTH SHOWS?!" Thank god that's not the case. I never did see RWBY because I didn't know what it was for the longest time, and the fan base seemed kind of cringey. I looked it up and saw it was just some amateur anime wannabe thing that did look cringey so I was like meh and didn't bother with it. But given it has Vic in a prominent role it would be difficult if not impossible to go back and watch it now. Also Vic's character in that show looks like a creeper.
  2. Yeah it's the last episode until October. I don't know they don't just call the next parts of these split seasons another season instead of part 2? With this and Attack on Titan. 403 forbidden on the first pic. The second pic didn't load until I opened in a separate tab. Nothing would make the first pic load. Maybe danbooru doesn't like embeds. Though maybe it would help to embed the full picture instead of the sample. Full picture might be huge though, so dunno if that's a good idea. Edit - I just now got it to work. For some reason copying and pasting into another tab worked this time. You posted gender-flipped GGO Kirito?! NOOOOOOOOOO!
  3. https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/10/18/naruto-anime-cooking-ramen-inspiration Unless you are a next-level ramen lover, ninjas are what come to mind when Naruto gets mentioned. The beloved series has become one of anime’s top title to date, but Masashi Kishimoto didn’t always have a thing for ninjas. In fact, as it turns out, the creator had plans for Naruto to bypass action entirely and take a more delicious route. In the past, Kishimoto let fans know his original plans for Naruto were far from expected. The artist sat down for an interview with Naruto Meigen Shubefore, and he told the magazine Naruto began as a cooking manga. “Naruto wasn't supposed to be about ninjas,” the artist confessed. “It was supposed to be about a teenager named Naruto cooking ramen. But my editor of that time told me ‘It will never gonna work.’ I had to find something else and this became a story about ninjas.” Continuing, Kishimoto said he kept the name Naruto because he loves ramen, and he even put his favorite ramen stall from college into the manga. “Back then I loved ramen. In front of my college, there was this place called 'Ichiraku' where I used to eat ramen.” Kishimoto might not have made Naruto all about cooking, but the artist was able to lean into his original story at times. After all, it is no secret that Naruto Uzumaki is a ramen fiend, and he will eat as many bowls of it as possible. The decision to put an Ichiraku in the Leaf Village also gave Kishimoto the chance to draw up some tasty dishes, and audiences all over were introduced to ramen through his work as such. Also, if anyone first learned about ramen from Naruto then they have truly been living in a bubble, and had a deprived life!
  4. Yeah, it's hard to argue against what people have been saying about SAO progressively getting better as it goes along. Well, if we block Fairy Dance from our memory (heh) like we do with Bleach's Bount Arc! Also I noticed the show almost never refers to anything from that arc aside from them being in ALO sometimes. Sugo and his company has not been brought up once since then! I don't think that's a coincidence lmao.
  5. Finally! Since I won, I will continue sprucing up the OP. Why do you even go for SAO anyway? It's not like it's one of your favorite shows or anything, is it? Anyway, there won't be anymore SAO threads for a while, unless they get Gun Gale Online Alternative to fill the gap til Alicization Part 2 gets here.
  6. Black Clover Page 78 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, Noelle and Yuno teamed up with a weird old tired guy that used mushroom magic. Yuno managed to one-shot a member of his own squad who didn't like how Captain Vangeance had taken a liking to Yuno and taken him under his wing. Noelle confronted her scumbag brother Solid once and for all and destroyed him with her Sea Dragon's Roar spell! Where will the Royal Knight selection go from here? Find out tonight, on Black Clover, on Toonami! \
  7. EPISODE 24 DISCUSSION Last time on Sword Art Online: Alicization, Kirito, Eugeo, Alice, and Cardinal, all stood up to Administrator and her sword golem. Unfortunately, it went against Cardinal's programming to attack that abomination because it was made of human souls and memories, combined with divine object weapons. She attempted to make a deal with Administrator to give her life to let the other three go. The others decided not to leave anyway because it wouldn't help things at all, and Eugeo had Cardinal TURN HIM INTO A SWORD AND HE FLEW AROUND THE ROOM AND KILLED THE GOLEM. But when Eugeo faced off against Administrator, while he chopped one of her arms off, he was broken in half in sword from, and when he returned to human form he was cut in half, but with ice freezing between the two halves. Eugeo is seemingly on death's door. This time Kirito froze up in battle, and Alice had to come to his assistance. Kirito blocked Administrator's strike in time to save Alice from sacrificing herself for him, but then Alice passed out anyway. Now Kirito faces off against Administrator alone. Find out how this battle turns out tonight on the mid-season finale of Sword Art Online: Alicization, on Toonami!
  8. Posted way too early LOL
  9. Premature recollection release!
  10. The people in this show are either really pretty or really ugly!
  11. But do this show and Lupin fall victim to "too old" syndrome? Demarco always used to say they wouldn't get shows that were too old because they got bad ratings. I guess because some people just won't watch something if it looks too old? Like some people won't watch black and white movies just because they're in black and white, which is stupid. Both shows have modern (and good) production values, to be sure, but still look retro. I wonder if this show will suffer in viewership for it. Though the time slot isn't exactly a good measurement for that anyway. I did hear that Lupin did not do well though. Don't really care about ratings that much, but it's just always something that bugged me is people not giving older or retro-styled stuff a chance.
  12. It's too short, right? I forgot about those horses! Didn't expect to see that! Horses in space! And why does hers have evil red eyes?
  13. Don't tell me it had horrifically bad subs! That means we could still be in the dark to some extent on this footage! I watched Al's video because it seemed higher quality than Elfie's. I did notice the dialogue differed a bit between the two of when I accidentally clicked and watched a few seconds of Elfie's though. As to the fuck-up and possible correcting of it, if Toonami is smooth enough, they could play this clip like it's a cold open for the next episode. But if it's really true that Funimation didn't even dub it, then I don't know what they're gonna do!
  14. I could've sworn I read "big new shonen jump show" twice, which is what confused me, lol. I see you didn't say "shonen jump" but just "big new shonen" the first time. That made me think there was another show lol. I may have just heard that once from one person but can't be sure. It was a while ago heh. I still want to read the Soul Eater manga one of these days but never got around to it. Not sure why. Yeah that probably wouldn't be a bad idea to redo it. Oh I see. Well Fire Force may be one to look out for, then. I saw a Youtuber I'm subscribed to upload the ED and I liked the look of the character in the thumbnail, but I didn't watch the video or know the show was from the Soul Eater author.
  15. The girls were thicker in the manga! And that beach episode did not get the budget it deserved! Damn you, Pierrot! And the first picture you posted was fan art!
  16. The funny thing is, there's almost filler in Black Clover overall.
  17. How did they afford this?! I also just got a Dr. Stone ad on fandom wikia just earlier, with Adblock turned on.
  18. You misread the article. They didn't say how long the deal was. That exec was just hoping it would last another 35 years in his little speech blurb. They also spelled that Yune guy's name three different ways. Yune, Yume, and Yun. Not a very well done article. But yeah, I always loved Robotech. It's part of what got me into anime along with DBZ and Sailor Moon. Though I didn't know what anime was until with DBZ, and then I learned that Robotech was really an amalgamation of three different anime series with no continuity between each other originally. That said, this is causing a major legal and licensing clusterfuck that doesn't help anybody. As I understand it, the Macross sequel series can't come over to the U.S., but Harmony Gold can't make Robotech sequels using the various characters because another company owns the rights to those? So what was the point of extending this deal as is? And how does Harmony Gold even afford to continue the deal? It reminds me of some other fuckery that Hasbro caused back in the day. They bought the rights to the Valkyrie fighter and brought it over as Jetfire (this was my favorite Transformer as a kid which I had to re-buy at great expense as an adult, but I had no idea it was a Macross thing back when I was a kid,) but they couldn't have Jetfire look like a Valkyrie in the Transformers cartoon (and he was called Skyfire to add to further confusion,) but this meant that Matchbox couldn't use that Valkyrie toy in the U.S., so you ended up with a non-transformable Veritech fighter with a goofy looking Rick Hunter figure. http://thecollectorslens.blogspot.com/2014/04/robotech-rick-hunter-vfs1-super.html
  19. So two fell through. Food Wars and Demon Slayer weren't any of the four. There's still two shows that he talked about at that convention that have yet to be announced. I would love to know what all four were myself.
  20. I never did get around to reading the Soul Eater manga. I heard the manga ending was even worse than anime ending, if you can believe that. Hopefully things go better for this new series. What big new shonen jump show? Well then it probably won't be on Toonami then lol.
  21. Well I'm glad we're all one big happy hate family!
  22. Still on vacation, so I doubt he did anything to talk to the people who made the MHA change like he claimed he would. Demarco is fiddling while Toonami burns! Also - Remember, this man's tastes are part of what makes the block. "We only air what we like!" BLEH!
  23. I found a trailer. That cel-shaded look and wonky animation will take some getting used to, to put it nicely. And David Tennant using his Scrooge McDuck voice is going to be extremely distracting.
  24. TOONAMI AND/OR FUNIMATION! YOU FUCKED UP! YOU FUCKED UP! YOU FUCKED UP!
  25. As to the clip itself, was that a fucking zeppelin?! Yes, clearly a big difference in technology! And there's a wall, but not one big enough to keep out titans, I don't think. Grisha and his sister weren't supposed to go past the wall, and they had to wear special armbands when they go outside...
