Batman the Brave and the Bold was fanfucking tastic and that featured technocolor Batman. BtB desperately needed a tone but a school shooting, censorship and it being CG kneecapped any chance of it had before leaving the gate.
In short, obscure/dated doesn't mean bad.
I wonder what it would take to pluck Spectacular Spiderman from obscurity? I think it is too expensive at this point.

I don't see the point of portraying something just to portray something, regardless of quality. Hell, an unresolved cliffhanger is preferable, if not an actual proper adaptation.

I see no value in portraying obscure villains just to portray them, these villains feel into obscurity for a reason, because they aren't compelling or interesting. You might as well make an original super hero with these characters that would be preferable then shoving Batman in there to try and redeem their mistake.
We should be so lucky that the best Spidey show comes back.

You see no value in what Batman: The Animated Series did with Mr. Freeze or Justice League Unlimited in general, hm?
As Raxus just noted, Brave and the Bold was great for shining a light on the more obscure parts of the DC universe, but it was also a good show. The issue with Beware the Batman is an execution one, not a conceptual one, where Final Act has issues on both those fronts.

There is no flaw in the concept of creating a continuation of InuYasha that finished the story for fans. Just because you don't personally like InuYasha does not deny its popularity nor does it deny the large fan base that wanted to see the finale of the story. In the end it seems to come down to preference I'd much rather see a shitty rushed conclusion to a story I'm over 170 episodes invested into as opposed to a shitty original spin on a character/universe I like.

Did you miss the part where we have InuYasha really high up on our list? I like it just fine. What I don't like is a rush job of a conclusion with no redeeming qualities beyond actually ending things, the purpose of which is completely defeated by being such a terrible adaptation; when people want endings, why would they want an ending at any cost, just for the sake of having an ending? They want a satisfying ending, and there's nothing satisfying about something with no sense of pacing whatsoever. In fact, I think it's insulting to those same fans for this to be considered an acceptable conclusion. There is no actual interest in telling a story in Final Act. There's just animating things to be able to say they were, in fact, animated.

And animating things to say they were animated is still better then anything BtB did, which is why TFA is better then it. BtB had nothing satisfying about it other then the fact it was canceled which was a mercy kill. As frustrating as TFA is its far more respectable for attempting to squeeze everything in there and while it wasn't as satisfying of a conclusion as I would have hoped, it still had plenty of satisfying moments during it especially the ending. Again this is a preference thing, I'd take an insanely rushed version of something that concludes everything over ambien in cg form. If you want to argue BtB is better then TFA because it's better at helping you take a nap that's an argument I could agree with.
I already did filler hell once. The only episode I'm going to redo is the most famous episode of filler.
Yeah, the manga is pretty much an extended version of what the anime turned out to be. Barring some things.

Crunchyroll and Funi are partnering together to expand their catalogues. CR will focus on subs, Funi on dubs.

I don't see anything to respect about fucking up the conclusion to a better show through what is either incompetence, indifference, or some combination of the two. Even if we put aside Final Act being a far more infuriating watch due to its complete disregard for acceptable pacing, I don't see how "at least it tied up InuYasha" is much of a positive since the Final Act's existence drags down the original. InuYasha is a worse show for ending with this dumpster fire. It is a cynical cash grab meant to squeeze whatever's left out of people who liked the original based on the mentality that they'll take ANYTHING as long as it's an ending, and I completely reject the idea that that's even remotely acceptable. It is not something that deserves to be defended on those terms.

And I disagree hence my statement earlier this is clearly an issue of preference. The final act didn't ruin InuYasha, it gave me the real conclusion to the story which is what I asked for. I'll always take a rushed as fuck canon ending over some well paced filler garbage that actually ruins shows like fma 03 and soul eater. I have a hard time recommending soul eater to people because of how big a fuck you that ending is, but I can recommend inuyasha and tfa without batting much of an eye even if I think soul eater's canon is collectively better then InuYasha's.

Since CR shows will be getting Funi dubs now, I take it back. Mob Psycho now has a pretty good chance to end up on Toonami.

For sure, same improved chance with the new Berserk though >:]
I am working on the 24th and will completely miss Toonami. Shame too since I think I am missing a good fight on One Piece.
Because of how the anime VA industry works we've already had these dream crossovers.
DAMN, that's huge. One of these days, now that I have good internet & my own place, maybe I'll give in & get a Crunchyroll account.
I wouldn't know.
omg, so my friend bought Digimon: Cyber Sleuth & we're checking out the beginning at my place so I can see if I want to borrow it from him later on.
.............this is seriously similar to Summer Wars so far.....but wait, the Summer Wars director did the Digimon part that was the inspiration for Summer Wars........OH MY GOD, IT'S ALL BECOME FULL CIRCLE.

...I wonder what Novid would have to say about this. *Sigh* memories...
Oh? Sounds like a character.
His real passion in life was Thundercats.
He shouldve just taken the L right there and left before being perma'd
G Gundam is in my top 10, but it doesnt have the nostalgia to take down DBZ
Wow this is awesome news. Seems like we might get Mob Psycho sooner than I thought.
And we're probably gonna get Kabaneri at some point :/

HxH is my favorite anime, but I don't think I can order the rest.
Remind me, Crunchyroll is $8-ish per month? & that includes no ads? With this news, I feel like Crunchyroll would have all of the anime I'd have interest in since Funimation had the other half & I didn't want to pay for two video services.
Hell, I wish I had someone to split the cost & then I'd share the account.

Is it too late to chime in and say that I agree that The Final Act was awful?
The Final Act was awful.
And so was Buttfuck the Batman.

Going by what Eurogamer is saying, maybe not. Maybe this checkerbox technique will become a big deal down the line (no doubt it'll go to PS5 development).
4 dollars per month doesn't seem that bad.
