Support NeoGAF

[Grexeno]

Why didn't they just ban the awful posters again instead of the whole OT being wiped?

I believe because all the non-awful posters had already given up and left and so only awful posters were left.

 

[Seda]

I'm actually surprised GAF doesn't have a report button instead relying on twitter outrage of mods getting flooded with pms when bad shit is posted.

I believe it was considered but implementation is tricky. Also people only rarely PM mods about questionable posts no matter how much we encourage it. I figure it's a sort of bystander effect where each individual figures 'someone else will pm a mod' or 'a mod will see this post anyway'.

I wasn't a part of this but I know it was a long process. Bans were made and warnings were made and it seemed to be a chronic or cyclical issue.

 

[Jarate]

I have sent thousands of PMs to Seda all about how none of you have been shilling Ping Pong enough and deserve a ban because of it

H-hey now, he has my mod request for September first, then he can ban us all!

 

[Raxus]

I'm too scared to abuse knowing mods, if only because GAF has the stigma of "wow you know a mod you're unbannable" to people on the outside.

Knowing them? I flag whatever mod is typically available. I just happen to flag mods I know since I typically see them online. I think the only other thing I tag is the awful mother shoots baby and eats it type stories that pop up on GAF that serve no purpose but to elicit a knee jerk reaction.

Ping-Pong? The coming of age drama that tells the tale of two best friends as they climb the ranks of the best ping pong players in their region? Who would ever recommend such a wonderful series? NOT I!

Mob Psycho 100 - Episode 12 (END)

Season 2 when?

 

[Regiruler]

Oh shit I forgot final mob psycho

 

[Imperial Bishop]

And just like in OPM,

Spoiler

the best character in the show is NOT the main character.

Fucker's still a con artist and he was only able to do that because of plot BS, I didn't ask for a sermon

 

[Moaradin]

Don't talk shit about Reigen

I bring the truth.

Outside of the sakamoto-style special techniques he is the worst character on the show.

Pfft. Shill for Prince of Tennis instead.

[Zonic]

But Toonami DID get Prince of Tennis at one point.

 

[BassForever]

And it bombed I really don't get why someone would seriously ever expect another sports show on Toonami

 

[Raxus]

Only one I could KIND of see is Ippo. Other than that you'd have to count G Gundam as a sports anime.

 

[Jarate]

The difference in quality between a show like Prince of Tennis, and something like Ping Pong and Hajime no Ippo are tremendous.

Also, I'd argue that Zoids and G Gundam are arguably sports shows that were fairly successful. IGPX was able to air twice despite being horrible.

Prince of Tennis is just a very mediocre at its best show. It doesn't prove anything about sports anime or how they would be perceived by Toonamis audience.

I will say that the average shit american anime fan generally doesnt like sports anime though, because they think they are edgey for going "LOL SPORTS ARE DUM IM SUCH A NURD"

 

[Shard]

I heard Digimon Adventure Tri was pretty mediocre

Yes, yes it was.

 

[Ray Down]

Thank god we didn't have it for long both the anime and Manga are bad.

That and MAR. Turned out SO nicely.

 

[Man God]

There's a chance that every new show for the next two years is a sequel.

One Punch Man.
FLCL 2
Samurai Jack
Sword Art Online III
Attack on Titan II
Jojo Part 2/3/4
Iron Blooded Orphans 2
Dragonball Z Kai
Dragonball Super


Also Zoids Zero is clearly a sports anime while G Gundam, despite being about the Giant Robot Olympic Death Match, isn't. Zoids Zero is literally IGPX except instead of races it is fighting.

To be fair, they only aired a few episodes and showed them out of order for some reason. And they were already available (in order) on Toonami Jetstream, their online service at the time.

I know. I don't know what they were thinking on showing episodes in the wrong order.

 

[Jarate]

Also they aired Eyeshield 21 on their streaming service

Maybe reair it with that Murata dollar. ;P

What other shows were exclusive to Jetstream aside from Eyeshield 21? I think some show called Kiba was. Maybe some other show called Storm Hawks.

Buu Saga debuted there. They also showed most of Star Blazers, Record of Lodoss War TV, and a bunch of other random crap.

Anyway, they also showed Hikaru no Go, I believe the entire series.

Technically that was TOONAMI Reactor.

On March 26, 2001, Cartoon Network launched Toonami Reactor, their first online streaming video service.[88] The three-month service featured streaming episodes from Dragon Ball Z and Star Blazers, the latter of which was an online-exclusive series. Editorial content was provided by the now-defunct Animerica Magazine, published by VIZ Media. After the three-month "trial run" was over, Cartoon Network took it offline and completely revamped it.

On November 14, 2001, Cartoon Network relaunched Toonami Reactor with all online-exclusive programs such as Star Blazers, Patlabor, The Harlock Saga, and Record of Lodoss War, as well as videos from Daft Punk and Toonami-themed games. In the summer of 2002, Toonami Reactor was revamped again under the Adult Swim aegis and, in a joint venture with VIZ's Weekly Shonen Jump, programmed it as "Adult Swim Pipeline." It featured episodes and/or manga chapters from One Piece, Naruto, Shaman King, YuYu Hakusho, and Sand Land.[89][90]

I'd like to see the debate of which anime this was comparable to.

I'd like to see the debate of which anime this was comparable to.

It went a little like this:

In the wake of the debate, I want to reference a future Hunter X Hunter arc, but that'll be spoilers.

I feel like there are better choices, even within DBZ.

Frieza for one is too cool.

 

[Man God]

Hillary is blond and Freezer has small hands.

You know, have you heard about these dragon balls? We're doing great stuff on Namek with fantastic people on Namek to make sure we get the dragon balls. absolutely great people

 

[Mizerman]

We gotta find these Dragon Balls! We just--I need to find those Dragon Balls! It's gonna be YUUUGE!

I'm dying.

 

[Man God]

Last year he said that Namek only sends us its criminals and demons like Piccolo Senior. We need that intergalatic great wall and have them pay for it. I'm sure there are some good ones like the earth's guardian Kami.

 

[Jarate]

I have this wonderful friend, Zarbon, great guy, who is just an expert at dealing with these Namekians, real stand up guy this Zarbon

We're going to get the Dragon Balls, and have the Namekians wish for us.

 

[B-Dubs]

In the wake of the debate, I want to reference a future Hunter X Hunter arc, but that'll be spoilers.

I k is exactly what you're talking about and it's perfect. Cannot wait for these guys to see it.

I can imagine him winning, then dropping out just because he could.
