I wasn't referring to Dandy when I was talking about wish fulfillment, I was talking about Aunt Tits. :lol
It's funny that we somehow became all offended at these gags despite seeing them a million times. That takes a new level of shit to pull that off.
The pandering or the show?
I wonder if he'll change any by the time the show reaches is FooLyCLimax? It was really nice to see him fight effectively in the Mecha...
Cool, I'll just continue down the "willful ignorance" side with that series, then, lol.
To me, Fanservice hinges on the idea of giving people something they want. If you over-deliver, you diminish the effect...
...This probably means nothing to many of the fans or producers of modern anime, though. They have no sense of moderation or build-up with stuff like this, and almost seem to have a running bet at who can out-perv the other with the content they get away with in their works, ha.
I think I meant "The Show", but It'd really apply to both. Balance is one of the largest things SAO lacks.
Agreed, though even I think trying to read into a situation too deeply can just lead to personal frustration.
.... random, the reason why hearing Vic voice a
Those rating for the start of the block are just DANDY 
Ratings for Dandy have been on the rise and has been holding viewers given than most stick around for Bleach. The ratings fall between Shippuden and One Piece probably has to do with the shit pacing of the Shippuden episode putting pople to sleep/turning them off. The low numbers for the rest of the block is probably due to the SAO episode which forced most watching to rush out and splash Bleach (the detergent) in their eyes 
Yep, SAO is pretty much everything, or at least most things, that are wrong with anime. The following pic does a good job of encapsulating a lot that's wrong with SAO:
During this scene, the girl with the purple hair is being questioned about a MURDER! Talk about tone/intent whiplash O_O Why in the world is this shot if this scene?!?! Like a show/property can have fanservice (even a fair amount) and still tell a nuanced, interesting and/or mature, etc story (see Ghost in the Shell for example) but you have to treat your female characters (if we are talking about female fanservice) like ACTUAL CHARACTERS and not just fetish objects or damsels to rescue. You also have to use fanservice sensibly to avoid scenarios like the above. SAO either doesn't get this or, more likely, doesn't care to get this

What was Hisoka ever really a villain in HxH? He's generally more of a rival who wants to push Gon to his maximum potential

Goddammit Kakashi. This is why they don't want you teaching children.From the Kill La Kill thread:

Except those are not relevant to the plot most of the time, or end up being convenient for the protagonist in that instead of Gon having to kill someone Hisoka does it.

At least now if I get my harem end it'll be 100% furry free. I'm assuming Ryoko will be living with Seina and the harem within 2 episodes

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going through that whole clusterfuck now
What is going down? Do I even want to know?

Xbox One version is 30 FPS, PS4 version is 60 FPS, GAF is freaking.
People going full ham in there.
Console wars, PC "master race", anger, tons and tons of bans.

TOM does the playing for us. No need to deal with any of that.
man, people claiming that PS4 is better than any gaming PC....
But yeah, you should avoid the gaming side
I'm afraid to click on that Tales iOS game thread, which will have people bitching about always online DRM for a free game made for Cellphones that are always connected to the internet, and micro transactions that are entirely avoidable.
Everyone should just stop playing all games except Hearthstone. No controversy, it will run fine on a netbook from 2008, and is Free.

Microtransactions usually aren't avoidable in F2P games, the whole point is to get you to spend money. Some handle the grinding aspect well, most do not.

I hope none of our nakama are dumb enough to be taken in by that thread.
Most people should be smart enough to slip in and then quickly back peddle out of there without posting. It was actually thread locked at one point.
On topic, I missed out on the Toonami this past weekend, but recently watched the 3rd episode of Dandy. Heard from a friend you guys got the censored nips. That whole sequence was pretty disgusting and I'm not surprised they did put in some censoring there.

I've been lurking all morning laughing at the meltdowns, that thread is HIGHLY entertaining.
Do you have an easy to access number of the amount of bans?
Yeah I'm not too bummed about having to settle for a blurry nipple boob monster for a few seconds mid transformation. And them having to censor it is understandable.
I expected the censor response because there's no way Standards and Practices was going to let that slide.
Walked into it and saw what was going on and immediately walked out. Already have mods threatening to close the thread. Thread graveyards are always fascinating reads. The next few months leading to E3 are going to be interesting to say the least.

What was worth discussing for 66 pages? I feel like I've read a whole lot of nothing
30 fps is far superior to 60 fps. Gifs. Want to protect her meme.

I wish I could show that thread a customer I argued with last week who was adamant that 720p > 1080p in terms of resolution and picture quality

- PS4 version of Tomb Raider is revealed to be 60FPS, XBO will be 30FPS
- 'Here we go' and 'Dis gun b good' posts prelude the incoming shitstorm
- PR bashing commences, the sharks begin to circle
- XBO owners start trickling in to downplay the significance
- Shill accusations and dog piling commences
- Reaction GIFS
- Some posters explode and lash out with personal attacks
- Mass bannings
- More reaction GIFS
That's pretty much what happened from what I gathered
