Some woman I've been talking to online. Seems sane and less whiney than the last woman. We have similar taste in music, which is nice.

I was going to say something along the lines of "I already posted that pic" but I know you wanted the opportunity to post your bae, so do your thing.
If you did I must've missed it. I'll give what'sthierface this much. This Star Wars mix is great.
Also she's not my bae.

I didn't catch on to her being Grand Moff Tarkin for some odd reason, even better Tarkin is an asshole in the Clone Wars series.

He'll be saying that till he slips up and accidentally posts some NSFW Kuvira fan art. "Wait that wasn't me, my account got hacked."

You can say it all you want, doesn't mean we're gonna believe you.

Is Tarkin a Grand Moff? Or is his first name Moff and he holds the rank of Grand? Or his is first name Grand?
JadedWriter

Maybe he's just trying to let people know he likes Grand

Gotcha. I never got into the Star Wars Expanded Universe

His title doesn't seem to be expanded universe, he's just the only one we met most likely. Dude's a Nazi, just in space so Kuvira being a cross over of him makes a lot of sense.

Well I mean, we never learn his name in the movie. It's an implied title but it's so nonsense it's hard to know. Pretty much anything that isn't in the core films is EU stuff, right? So I always thought his name was just EU stuff.
Like, in FMA and FMA:B, I thought Bradley's title for the longest time was "Fuhrer King," but nope. His first name is King, and his title is Fuhrer.
It's still weird seeing SFW Iahfy art, but this is really nice.

Hey that's a pretty good drawing of Kuvira tbh. Cool style

I had no idea about Fuhrer King Bradley. I think anything not in the movies and not in the 3D Clone Wars show is expanded universe...I think Rebels is canon too.
She'd make a fine officer on the Death Star. She probably wouldn't hesitate to blow up Zaofu. "Fuck you Su!" *explosion*

So the 2D Clone Wars show by Genndy Tartovsky is not canon?
Also they never explicitly say his first name is King, you just have to read into that. It's hard, though, since they always say either his full name, his full name with title, or just his last name. They never just call him "King."

I'm pretty sure the 2d one isn't canon.
That's bullshit. I love the 2D one the most.

Don't blame me. It was awesome but a lot of stuff became non canon after the Disney purchase.
If so, it'll probably just be this
How many months ago did Jeremy mention that he made "some" progress on getting the soundtracks?
Heh
Also Jeremy had this update about the soundtracks two days ago
Q: any updates on book 2-4 soundtrack release?
Jeremy:none currently. :/
So not looking good right now

To be the guy that J.J. Abrams assigned to sifting through the EU stuff and having to decide what is and isn't relevant to the now-revitalized film franchise must have been awesome, exhausting, and intimidating all at once.

Is it normal for fans to make animations of characters dancing for other shows/animes/movies/whatever? I've never seen it before until the LoK ones lol

Ok, re-watched the first 10 or so episodes of ATLA now back to Ranma.
Akane be hatin.
Akane be hatin.
10? You giving yourself a 5 week period to finish off Ranma or something? Clever bastard
Fuck. It's not happening is it? ;_;Heh

Ranma has 7 seasons. I think it'll take him a bit of time. then there's the ova's which I still haven't seen, there's like 10 of them I think.10? You giving yourself a 5 week period to finish off Ranma or something? Clever bastard
She knows she ain't got shit on Ukyo.
Ranma 1/2 was my first anime, many found memories, might join conversation at some point.
I really do wish that the series had continued with actual character arcs and development (like it was at the start), its biggest problem is that it just became pure one offs after a point.
By the way if you do enjoy Ranma 1/2 I really encourage you to watch the live action. It's only crime is that it drags slightly in the middle, but it's about a million times better than it has any right to be.
I felt like they pushed her immaturity a little hard to the point where it felt like a bit of a regression from where she was at the end of book 1, but overall I do agree with you, it just could have been executed slightly better.

Yeah first season of Ranma is the best then it just seems to drag on and on. Didn't even follow the manga. It's ok for what it is though.

Yea, the only main story arc they stuck with is Ranma and Akane keep dancing around each other.
Kodachi is officially my favorite crazy person, she needs to be in the show more. She's nuts, but unlike Shampoo she doesn't use underhanded methods to get Ranma. Plus she can cook and clean, also is swimming in money.
Ukyo is still my favorite girl though. She isn't crazy, plus she owns a restaurant.
And there's a live action?!?!
Nvm, I just saw the trailer. That shit look low budget as all hell, lmao

Yeah Ukyo and Kodachi have the more interesting personalities, Akane is just straight up useless and too much of a tomboy. I like tomboys but I just can't dig Akane. Ukyo and Kodachi would fucking get it though. plus Kodachi's a gymnast pfft fuck yeah.
Well they never really even stuck with that as the main arch because it just happens, and sometimes they go through the beats of 'oh they kind of like each other' but after tat their relationship always stays exactly the same. Ranma 1/2 is like a comic strip in the news paper where the status quo stays completely static for however many years it runs. You don't notice this too much when they are introducing new characters but after a while it really really drags.
Yes and it perfectly captures the spirit of the series. It's awesome (and ties in one of the series few later plots into the 'beginning'). it's quit good.
More info about that supposed "alternate ending"
"RE: Alternative Book 4 ending - Nickelodeon will never release it. It also was never animated, only reached animatics stage in development."
Source
"I would LOVE to release what happens in the Book 4 alternate ending, but I'll get in A LOT of trouble. Wanted you all to know it exists tho."
Source
He also got the Blu-ray early, so expect some Book 4 commentary notes soon from him. Looking forward to hearing what Bryke says in them.

Man you guys really got me thinking Bryke was one person for so long
JadedWriter

I'm not sure who's really to blame. Mike's more of the story person and Bryan is the arts director. Bryan is usually on point with his designs and I like hearing about what gives him ideas and how he changes stuff and what not. I've never really heard Mike discuss stuff because I've never listened to the commentaries.

I'd check out Bryke's next project, but they really need additionally writers. It's the George Lucas effect.
What do you mean Bryke is very much a real person?
Only ever "existed" as a Storyboard according to him. Don't forget though that this rumour is based on him hearing from a friend who also heard it from another friend who was apparently told by Mike and Bryan about it during an interview.
So just a rumour at this point.
They did great with Book 1 when Mike and Bryan co wrote every episode (rushed ending beat aside the writing in said season was top notch) and every episode was directed by Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun Ryu. It's when they brought on Tim Hedrick, Joshua Hamilton, and Katie Mattila (well she only wrote one episode) and started flipping between multiple directors for Season 2 onwards that there started to be cohesiveness issues.

If I were him I'd take pride in being the "art guy" the art direction of the show is one thing you really can't say a bad thing about.
