I'm so glad I'm not the only person here who doesn't like OPM *high 5*
Previous One Punch Man episode:
I liked the silly overdramatic scene with Mumen Rider. It came across as aware and poking fun at melodrama, and the music was appropriately sappy.
The rest of the episode was just okay. I didn't really feel anything with Sea King's defeat. Not much of a hook to it.

It's less of an effect after the first watch, but there is the "superman syndrome" of what could happen before the main character arrives. The Sea King battle is the result of removing Saitama from a situation and seeing how quickly it can get out of control without him.
Granted, it's somewhat moot once I realized

One goes to some pretty large lengths to not kill protagonists.
I'm a big fan of the OPM manga. I just don't think it works well as a TV show.
The whole thing with the OPM manga is all of this opulent art and buildup and everything, and then the fight is over in one punch. There are chapters that take less than a minute to read because it's just giant art spreads over and over again. This is not something that works well in a 22 minute episode of TV.
Also, its way harder to avoid the "comedy" in the TV show, which is far and away the worst part of the manga.

Aw man, I actually liked getting to bad at around 11:30. Guess I have to get used to heading to bed at midnight again.

I miss Toonami for a month and you guys let this happen? Last time I leave you all alone!
It seems to be nothing to do with Toonami, but with Adult Swim itself losing a half-hour.

Man, what stealth games ask of gamers now compared to what they used to ask of them is pretty wide gulf.
It may sound like I'm criticizing modern stealth games, but honestly some of the things in classic stealth games are absurd. Why can't I run in disguise in Hitman 2? What is so alarming about a postman running?

Have you ever seen a postman run? Dead giveaway.
Unless they are running from a dog.

Nah, Kiba is the jobber in Naruto.
After Borus there wasn't that much for them to animate from the manga.
I realize that, but the next arc in the manga has a lot of filler that's dragging things out.

Disguises in Hitman 2 barely work in a way that's INCREDIBLY frustrating and honestly just not fun at all, even if it does appear to be intentional (albeit super fucking finicky).
Hitman Contracts is where they lighten up on the disguise limitations and consequently it's when the series actually got good.
Thats why I don't read i till there alot of chapters because it was too much for me, that and the chapters themselves aren't that long either.
Kiba thinks hes hot shit but hes cold diarrhea in a dixie cup.

you know, i think if i didn't do a podcast about this block i probably wouldn't watch Naruto or One Piece
I have no problem with OPM as a manga or anime at this point. Both are a loose excuse to let really talented artist show off their skills within a story. There's art to the animation that feels much too good and serious for our hero and themes... just like with the manga.
Clearly a favorite part of Toonami lately, as 1 half of the show is usually enough to say "I watched OPM!" the rest is just a bonus.
If anything currently leaves me feeling lukewarm by the end (within the newer, headlining shows), it's still HxH. I like most of IBO's designs, so even if the episode is meh, I enjoy the art enough for that to make up for it. HxH doesn't really have many I'm too fond of on their own... or at least nothing that feel exceptional. I don't remember having this issue with YYH... Botan was cute, Yusuke seemed simple but properly so for his personality, and Kuwabara was THE MAN, of course. Even if I always thought Hiei was a Sorta-Vegeta, I still felt him unique enough on his own to be cool.

If you guys end up not liking Mob Psycho, we're gonna have a problem.
Ehh didn't really like Mob Psycho, stopped after 5 episodes.
never watched an episode
Looks like there's some quick teasers for the live-action GitS movie. Still unsure what to make of it.
Also need to figure out if I can use a gift card towards a pre-paid card. Got $25 via special employee dinner on Monday, but figured since I didn't get much else for my b-day today, should just get a PSN or eShop card so I can get a digital game or so (perhaps wait for PSN sales or put the eShop funds towards AA6) to treat myself.

Yeah, Hitman 2 is best left to memory if you've played it, and if you haven't, you're better off just starting at Contracts. Most of the Hitman games suffer from just odd glitches and game oddities, but Hitman 2 is perhaps the most random odd stealth game I've ever played. If a person is moving, you can't sneak on them, because your sneaking speed can't match a person's natural movement speed. Sometimes guards will just randomly ask for your id for no apparent reason, and there's no escaping an alarm then unless you kill them. In missions with moving vehicles, sometimes a random guard will get run over, and the game will assume you killed him. Guards will sometimes walk through doors and walls. If spotted in an area where you're not supposed to be, you can try to run out of the guarded area, but that sometimes results in a guard following you for the entire level.
You see, here's the thing tho. Hitman 2 isn't a good game, but you can blow through it. You can beat the average mission is like 10 minutes, and there are only 20 missions. I'm on 17.
Might as well finish it.

Come on, the future doesn't have to look obviously dreary 24/7. =/
WHOA, did not think they would go straight towards that aspect of the Major.
That was oddly looked and felt post-modern.
Adapting 2nd GIG?
That's...selling weirdness for weirdness sake.

it's okay. OPM was far more enjoyable to me.
Minor spoiler
at one point kiba states his dream was to become hokage.
I had to drop the manga for a minute I was laughing too hard.

There is this concept called sunken cost and opporunity cost, a sunk cost is how much you've already invested in something and shouldn't impact your decision going forward. An opportunity cost is how much you could make if you took a different direction from your current one. What I'm saying is if you think almost anything else would deliver more fun in the same time it would take to finish hitman 2 you should do almost anything else with that free time since your timed is a limited resource.
Jokes on you I'd rather shitpost then spend my time logically
Someone was banned for an eerily similar post (in a totally unrelated thread) literally nine minutes ago.
(it was a much more serious thread but I find it amusing)
Shitposting is getting persecuted Seda, its up too us to make sure that shitposters everywhere have a space to shit.
brb adding this quote to your file
Also, in regards to completing games series and playing them in order, the issue is is that many of us game because we are completionist assholes and need to get everything from a series.
Its not logical at all, but it would piss off that little part in our brains that makes us illogical
You can arrest me, but you'll never arrest my spirit!
(Also I've been searching for the permaban gif, does anyone have it on file)

I usually play games in release order and I don't like to skip entries, haha. When 7th Dragon 3 was announced for localization - I even decided to import the first 3 games and play them in Japanese beforehand.
Not that I never skip or play out of order, but, I like to see how series evolve and change 'chronologically' over their lifetimes.
Hell:
He's infinite illusion moon eye dream is him being Hokage and creating a Holiday named, Dog Day....
Then in the final chapter I swear he still talking shit about the hokage.
Thats his life, talking shit, getting jobbed and dogs
