Seriously, does anyone find this sad? I miss when episode threads had actual commentary and discussion and weren't a shitty real-time chat feed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Well yeah, there's that. But at least the talk is about the shows, rather than banal logistics. I sometimes pepper up the Trunks thread with some of my recent thoughts, so I'll have to do another post soon. 1 hour ago, OwlChemist81 said: Also, now I have the same number of posts as the title of a Van Halen album!

EmpressAngel Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I can't imagine they'd run a marathon on the 30th if they already knew the next week was getting hijacked. Plus I'd assume that if they had any plans of doing a July 4th marathon, it would have been on the 7th anyway since that seems to be the weekend most of my local places are doing their extra stuff. Man, blocking Zeni was the best decision of my life. Now I only see his comments when people are already throwing insults at him. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my hope that Toonami just won't run a 4th of July marathon, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. 2017, April Fool's Day, the first hour-and-a-half of Toonami was shut off by the Rick & Morty Season 3 premiere ep repeated the previous day. Other than that, this is unprecedented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Okay, now you're just parroting my talking points. And as a side note, the name Yes is never supposed to be capitalized, although I guess you can do so if you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) That's wrong. It's always supposed to be capitalized, when referring to the band. It's even that way in the EDs of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Parts 1 & 2! Well, I suppose it's actually in all caps in this case, but my point remains valid.

Blatch Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Eh... upon further review, I guess the band itself capitalizes their name in some official material, as seen in this post. It's still not required, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) So I guess we've still got a Toonami block of some sort on 7/7 then! More likely than not, 6/30 doubles up on FLCL Progressive, 7/7 is an FLCL Progressive marathon, and then 7/14 introduces new shows. But then again, I suppose I could still see FLCL Progressive x 1 on both 6/30 and 7/7, with new shows coming 6/30 to replace DBZ Kai and 7/14 to replace FLCL Progressive...

It's been that way for a ba-zillion years, but I think AS is starting to turn a corner with Rick and Morty, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Ballmastrz 9009. This week I've even seen one of those 4:00 AM fake infomercials that hella cracked me up. It was a parody of the Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar. Normally those 4:00 AM slot shows do nothing for me.

Have you watched Joe Pera Talks With You? I think it's amazing; the most banal kind of show possible, almost like a slice-of-life anime, is exactly what this network needed. It feels like a direct rebuke of Million Dollar Extreme, and all the other shows that use trolling and political references as their source of humor. Of course, that's not always a bad thing, but anything that gets away from it is something I'll at least try. Edited June 15, 2018 by Blatch Derp, wrong title.
