Most likely. But i'll be rid of Clone Wars soon enough.

Contract could last for 5+ years hence Disney's decision to loop hole the series onto netflix instead of airing the final season (or whole series) on their channel. They may feel its not worth buying out the contract to air an old series for only 13 new episodes when they already have rebels coming soon

Let's hold off the celebrations for just a second. Our dark lord and master just retweeted a link to a story about Clone Wars on Netflix. We may not be rid of it just yet.

I actually liked some of the later episodes of Clone Wars. Plenty of the early episodes were really bad though.

All these pics of snow make me glad I live in Los Angeles. The worst we've had was a light drizzle.

Snow isn't all that bad, it's the ice that is. It doesn't help when people not remotely familiar with the white death try to drive in it.

I agree.

I don't mind the early episodes. I'm remiss to say I LIKE all of them, but there are some stand outs (Rookies mainly). The Clone Wars does a good job of humanizing the clones. I appreciate that they spent a good portion of time trying to reinforce the notion that the clones aren't just expendable. The clones get down on themselves because even they realize/think they are cannon fodder, while the other characters try to treat them otherwise. Ahsoka is really the only character I consistently hate. I do not like her in any capacity.

In later seasons though, not only is the action, writing and characters better (I'm looking at you Cad Bane), but Ahsoka doesn't talk nearly as much. The 4th season especially has several terrific and quite honestly brutal episodes. The violence is definitely kicked up a notch. This is a case of a show that gets progressively better with time. I have purchased all of the seasons on blu-ray (with the exception of Season 5, the blu-ray that was put out was borked from what I heard) and it is a very nice looking show in HD.

DBZ Season 1 Blu-ray, been pulled from Amazon AND not on this sale :(

I have Season 2 and 3 pre-ordered, but got blocked on Season 1. Rumor (no idea if it's accurate) is that people (don't want to say fan boys...but yeah) mass sent complaints to Amazon to pull it because they don't agree Funi's cropping decision...yet the vast majority of reviews on the page are positive and praising. Now the thing has been pulled and is under investigation.

Casshern Sins seem like it'd be worth it, but I'm debating on Akira as I already own two different copies of that movie already.

I wonder if people are aware the box sets you see at Wal-Mart that everyone owns are cropped the same way.

If anything, from what I've heard about the sets, the cropping is done much better than the orange box editions. The cropping works better with the scenes rather than being consistently just locked dead center.

Haha, having to choose between which cropping is "better" is a sad state.

So I just dug myself out of the snow, only to discover there's another foot and a half coming in tonight.

That Funi-deal looks good, so there's that.

Gonna probably rustle some jimmies with this comment, but their cropping really never bothered me a ton. From what I've seen in promos for the new sets, it is even less so than the orange boxes. It's all wins in my book.

Didnt know clone wars won a emmy. Sweet

Yep, they won for the episode "Rookies" I believe, which as I mentioned before, is a terrific episode. Watching from that episode onwards and the fact that you keep encountering those guys is great. You grow attached to them.

Massive, massive spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it but if there is one One Piece collection worth owning it's Season Five, Voyage Four.

I came into work today when campus was closed, only to be mostly unproductive and anticipate the Nintendo Direct. I'm not even 'hyped' really, more just curious what they are going to say.

And then there's NPD right after.

Things went well here. All rain. Inches of it though so tomorrow is going to be crazy.

Gonna watch Naruto now and then watch the Direct.

All eyes are on Iwata to somehow dig the Wii U out of the hole he's put it in. I have my doubts there is anything he can do that can salvage that thing.

Fuck I love the beginning of this episode of Naruto. There's probably three different gifs in the first five minutes.

Let us complain about traffic on the 405 for the ten billionth time!

Yeah from 4-7 its a pain.

Power hour of InuYasha which means a closer release date for Final Act.

BRING FINAL ACT TO TOONAMI

Haha, having to choose between which cropping is "better" is a sad state.

I have the Dragon Boxes which are completely uncropped. I really have no interest in buying the Blu-Rays, especially seeing as I think the Z anime hasn't aged too well after Namek. If I do get a HD version of the series, it'd be the Kai sets.

I'll likely sell both my sets of DBZ when Kai is finished and buy that. Apparently one of the sets I have has no value and the other one is semi-rare.

Oh, let's re-open the Toonami Casino again and bet on how many people get banned in the thread by the start of Dandy on Saturday!

I'm betting 7 people will perish

Obligatory post for those learning just how massive One Piece is in Japan.

I have one of the Tony Tony Chopper cellphone charms on my 3DS right now. I have Zoro charm somewhere and I did have one of (future spoiler)
Sunny Go
, but I lost it. :(

I'd also end up buying one of everything there.


Too bad the VHS sets aren't worth shit. Yes, I own the VHS copies of the English dub from the start of the Buu saga. No, it wasn't a smart move financially. Yes, I still have them.

Why is everyone on the gaming side so hyped up for a Nintendo Direct? You'd think it was E3 season over there, aren't those things usually soul crushingly disappointing?

The ND last January was pure awesomeness. The length of this one makes me hope-full, it's supposed to be 40+ minutes long. We're getting some shit, plus there have been retweets from a lot of designers with big games coming up.

I have Lord Slug on VHS, as well as the Kid Buu stuff.

I've never had any trouble on the gaming side. People just need to be a bit more civil. It does tend to be a graveyard when certain topics come up.

I picked most of mine up as they released them months before Toonami aired the new stuff. That was like my monthly purchase from Wal-Mart for the longest time. I'll never go back to watch them again, but it'd be nice to see a Kai version of the entire arc.
