Toonami Off-Topic Thread

Hey, remember when we used to have one of these in the pre-UE days?

Well I'm reviving it, so you can talk about whatever non-Toonami related things - anime, Western TV, games, movies, personal projects - you want to without having to leave the uncomfortable comfort of this sub-board.

I suppose there's a point to it. I NEVER go out of the Anime and Manga section on this board unless it's to report a forum bug or issue... and the last time I did that, I got so angry at the ....... well I GUESS you could call them "mods" .... that I wound up leaving for a month and a half.

...it's a forum. Post those things in the places actually meant for them. The folder  balkanization this community has always engaged in is really fucking bizarre. 

Unless the main board has changed it's a complete cesspool of nutjobs and people jockeying for attention. Any attempt at an actual conversion there would be overrun by Fuggz, people telling Fuggz that she should go to hell and die horribly, Zeni posting and immediately getting told how creepy he is, 9/11 conspiracy theorists and people like that JJ Mathews guy who thankfully finally got banned for being legitimately insane.

And any thread would be buried under a thousand threads that would be similar to "I like to eat my own poop."

So I'm not sure why you guys think this would be a bad idea.

They aren't. The first sentence even leans on the show's checkered reputation. Why do you have to be such a buzzkill? ¬¬

It's an entire article about imaginary bread from Franxx. You don't think they're pushing it? They're pushing it.

I mean, it ostensibly is advertising for the featured anime, but this is from a column that's been CR has been running for a while, and it gives equal time to a wide variety of shows. And this kind of thing is a perfectly normal part of business for any company that deals in anime simulcasts. It may be embellishment to an annoying degree (in some cases), but it's too far embedded within them for me to complain to a large extent.

So I saw the My Hero Academia movie. I'm going to mention exactly two things that are only technically spoilers in the fact that they occur during the movie:

1. I've always thought that the actual strongest character in this series is whatever costume designer managed to find a way to conceal All Might's dick inside skin-tight spandex. That man is my true nemesis and tonight I finally laid eyes on him.

2.  A single glorious second of screentime for YOUNG MIGHT TITTIES.

My suspicion is that they're trying to keep Franxx on peoples minds so they can get support for a second season.

not for nothing, but the Noise drama doesn't travel north of FFA to the other topical media sections

to go back and butcher the "balkanization" metaphor someone used, maybe it's time the topical toonamites (or whatever the tribe name is) spread their seed and claim more topical turf

Babbling/Rants is supposedly supposed to be the general discussion folder though.

The thing is, each of us probably know someone in real life that will talk about those other topics, or there's dedicated communities for them.  Not so much the case with anime.  Well, I have friends that watch anime, but haven't talked to them about it in a while.  Either way, pretty sure they aren't watching Toonami religiously.

"Toonamite" is a lame troll term divised by Babblers.  I believe "Toonami Faithful" would be official term for Toonami fans per Tom/Sara/Demarco and co. but it always came off kind of cringey to me.  Besides that, the distant ancestor for the Toonami folder was ASMB's Action Discussion for ASA.  There may have been Toonami forums for the old CN Toonami, but I don't remember ever using them.  Not sure why.  I remember reading the webcomic explaining the transition from Tom 2 to Tom 3, though.  That was pretty cool.

Aside from that, I don't want to take too much time on this board by regularly visiting every section.  I gotta full DVR, huge game backlog, and Fairy Tail to catch up on, plus other animes I'd like to watch/finish/catch up on.  Internet is a huge timesink and forums, comment sections etc are some of the worst offenders.

By the way, were some posts deleted from this thread?
