  1. Damn. Was gonna make this one. Checked the page one last time and saw you made it. Well, less work for me.
  2. Lul. Is the secret to make an empty OP? I lost track of time posting in another thread and had to scramble to make this and somehow still won! Post is now edited and filled in!
  3. Eh, not just atmosphere, but you can't compare the sense of community you get from Toonami, to just watching stuff by yourself at any given time. And yeah I have friends that like anime and we have watched some together in the past, but we don't get together that often anymore and it's not like anime is the only hobby we share or thing we would watch or do. Using social media to discuss anime is ass. The layout for Twitter is horrid and chaotic, and things quickly get buried, you can't go back to it easily like on a forum. Reddit has a HORRIBLE layout and user interface. Facebook's layout is decent but it has the same issue of impermanence as the others. So yeah maybe Toonami itself doesn't serve much more of a practical purpose to most, and cable is only killing itself with its insane pricing and business models, but the experience really can't be replicated. And I have news for people. Everything going streaming will quickly and easily exceed cable bills. It was fine when it was just a few services and they had huge libraries. Every one trying to have their own service defeats the purpose of Netflix and Hulu with their massive libraries. People are going to be pirating a lot because they're not going to subscribe to a streaming platform just to watch one fucking show.
  4. EPISODE 17 DISCUSSION Last time on Sword Art Online: Alicization, Kirito and Eugeo finished their battle with Fanatio and Kirito had her transported to the library to be healed by Cardinal, using up one of their special daggers. They finally made their way to Alice and had quite the battle. They thought they had one when Eugeo froze Alice, but she was able to free herself. Kirito and Alice clashed with their Perfect Weapon Control, which resulted in blowing out the wall of the tower and sending them both back outside, before the wall healed itself! What the heck just happened and where it will it go from here? Find out tonight, on Sword Art Online: Alicization, on Toonami!
  5. Or they could just put something else there... I wasn't suggesting they play a rerun. But yeah, not sure what the plan is here if there's going to be a delay for the new episodes. Either way moving everything up sounds like a bad idea that's already failed once before.
  6. Yes! And I misspelled parallels! Post edited!
  7. One of his crackpot theories came true! Daaaaamnnn iiiiiiit!
  8. Oh yay more Gundam. And hey it has bitch boy Amuro who I hate yay.
  9. That trailer looks cool. https://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/samurai-jack-season-5-genndy-tartakovsky-interview-sex-violence-1201888020/ Gotta admit Genndy sounds like a bit of a dick with that comment. I mean it's not like the people who still cared about Samurai Jack had any issues finding it. In the same interview, he was also bitter about Lucasfilm doing the CGI Clone Wars, but changed his mind on that at least. Genndy's Clone Wars series is awesome but the CGI series is great in its own right too. You couldn't have had the CGI series without Genndy's series. It's a clear inspiration and direct spiritual successor. I also thought sequel of sorts but Genndy's series isn't canon anymore for some reason? Does it conflict somehow with the other series? He also openly bitches about doing the Hotel Transylvania movies over his own stuff (gotta say I got no indication from the trailers that he made them and they don't interest me AT ALL) and Hollywood not buying any of his original ideas. I'm sure that will do him wonders.
  10. They won't do that because it fucked up the ratings last time and then they reversed the move.
  11. I am surprised they didn't put AoT first. I thought MHA did bad which is why they removed it from opening up before. Thought maybe they put it here to be the future anchor after Super ends, but Daos sais MHA just has 12 episodes left, so I dunno. I agree that The Promised Neverland and Attack on Titan go perfectly together. So many parallels there. Yeah when I first saw the report from CBR or whatever it was I thought they moved everything up, too, but that's not the case. They worded that article really poorly.
  12. Kirito said something about even if Administrator stops the aging of her servants with a spell, their mind or soul still ages. And that's degraded over time which is why she can't remember her name and acts so robotic. Her job isn't the most mentally stimulating either lol. Maybe there was more to it than that but I don't think so.
  13. Besides, Yuuki, well... He lost all those fights with Liena, but obviously wasn't going all out. He's lost real life kendo sparring sessions to Suguha, but Kirito doesn't actually have any athletic or fighting ability in real life, I don't think. There was the draw to Sinon in GGO. I heard that's a straight win for Sinon in the books but I haven't checked to make sure, or what the circumstances of said possible win were. I don't think Kirito and Asuna did any training or sparring? Seems like a missed opportunity there.
  14. He's not even just fat but drawn in a completely different art style lol. Look at how big his head is compared to his body. Really cartoonish. But yeah my friend was telling me Accel World is better than SAO. Still haven't gotten around to watching it and not sure I should rush to it now after hearing all this haha.
  15. Yeah it's the best written SAO but the time skips and rape comes back lol. Kayaba's AI ghost had been floating around before that though, right? Apparently in the books Kirito imagines himself getting beaten by Kayaba, but then is like nuh-UH not gonna happen, and psychs himself up. Not sure why this was shown as time rewinding in the anime but it doesn't come across well.
  16. Second half?! Will Toonami, hell, cable, last long enough for it all to air?!
  17. Thanks for explaining to us what Guy is doing, Kisame. Ok no idea what that last move was though! Is Kisame finally down? Whelp gotta wait til next week.
  18. Guy. You dumbasses let Kisame recharge and get away. Was it ever explained who the sunglasses guy is?
  19. Tag team attack. They double clotheslined Kisame's head off. And Kage has a title belt.
  20. Naruto sensed Kisame. He can sense emotions now? It's always a fucking clone. Naruto can do Minato's transportation technique now? But now he's stuck in the wall.
  21. Good luck ever being a cooler guy than anyone Naruto.
  22. There's one friend that I'm not getting along with right now. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  23. He played Spike Spiegel in a videogame too! And I was just saying how he sounded like he was channeling Blum's Zabusa or Orichimaru not too long ago too!
