One Piece > Blue Exorcist > Space Dandy > Who gives a shit it was all bad

 

[Seda]

I was wondering if the show could hold up with the most interesting villain gone a half dozen episodes before the finale.

Doesn't seem like it, although Black Star / Mifune stuff wasn't totally awful.

 

[lazybones18]

30min break. I'll wait until IGPX to download the ARR Beta

 

[Schadenfreude]

Neat trick for those extra foggy days.

I HAVE RISEN!

Thrown off the shackles of hanging out with a friend and watching Toonami in silence, I have returned for the back half! Getting the Wii U ready as we speak.

Tonight's theme so far? Legit Shookery

Yay!

 

[MikeBreezy92]

We return to Sauce being legit shook....

 

[Crocodile]

Why couldn't Bones waited until the manga was finished

BONES, like any other studio, gets contracted to do adaptations. As long as they accept the job, they had no say in when they were doing it or how much of the manga was already out for them to adapt. There is no "let wait till the manga is done" only "the publisher want us to make this show while the IP is hot so we are doing it now".

 

[Imperial Bishop]

For anyone who's thinking about going to sleep.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Looks like he...was retaining liquids. YEEEEEAH!

Who hires the studio to do the adaptations?

Everyone is a water clone!

 

[Man God]

I thought it was taijutsu heaven but it was genjutsu hell.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Water clones, water clones everywhere.

 

[Man God]

To think this is the least bullshit thing the shirlygan does.

 

[ckohler]

I thought the Clone Wars was on later.

 

[BassForever]

Got this big cup of ramen cooking it during Naruto even if this episode is good

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You make the anime while the manga is getting hot/popular, they don't care if the anime gets a full ending because it's really just a paid advertisement for the manga

You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kakashi's hair instantly got combed again.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I just grabbed a bottle of water to drink. Am I already dead?

 

[Crayolan]

omg Space Dandy got the full OP this week?

 

[daveo42]

It's really a clone. The real water is right behind you about to strike.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Neen-ja.

 

[Man God]

Everyone who stayed to watch Naruto is in my Bingo Book.

 

[mightynine]

How did I not notice "bingo book" the first time around?

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

So is "bingo book" just metaphorical or do these guys literally carry a little notebook with names in it?

 

[Seda]

Lord Death was trending on Twitter.

 

[Dominican Power]

Back when Naruto made some type of sense. Despite all these DBZ esque powerups, Kakashi has remained grounded.

 

[Schadenfreude]

No, it's a real thing they carry. It's pretty funny, actually.

 

[Man God]

Something something, ninja info card video, something something.

 

[BassForever]

Kakashi has always been the best character

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Yo damn Naruto....man the fuck up.

 

[ReiGun]

LEGIT SHOOK

 

[Dominican Power]

I bet Sasuke is looking back and laughing at his former greenhorn self.

 

[Schadenfreude]

No more running!

 

[Man God]

LEGIT SHOOK

Yep.

Naruto mans up more when he figures out he has wolverineesque healing factor.

Who hires the studio to do the adaptations?

You notice in the opening credits of EVERY anime there is a "_________ Committee" or a "________ Group"? That refers to a group of companies that have pooled money together to pay for the animators, secure a TV spot, secure ads etc. You can often research who is part of each "committee" for each show but for adaptations of manga is will likely include the publisher of the manga, TV stations, merchandisers, etc. Without their money, no show gets made so, understandably, the animators are beholden to their whims whatever they may be (like say starting an anime adaption for a popular property even if there isn't all that much manga to adapt). Production committees also play into original animes (like say Kill la Kill) as well but the composition tends to look different and I assume the animators are given a bit more freedom. I know in some circumstances for original anime studios go out and seek investors but I don't know if it works like that in every instance.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nice plan, Naruto.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

FOOL

 

[MikeBreezy92]

I wish I got flashbacks in real life that paused between real shit

 

[ReiGun]

"On every mission, your life is on the line....except all those ones where you are finding cats and doing other menial tasks that will poorly prepare for actual ninja work."

 

[BassForever]

I really do hope some of these shows in 10-15 years get hd complete remakes like Soul Eater and blue exorcist

 

[Amikami]

I wish I got flashbacks in real life that paused between real shit

You don't!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Dat gumption. Believe it!

 

[Seda]

This is probably my favorite track in OG Naruto

 

[Man God]

"On every mission, your life is on the line....except all those ones where you are finding cats and doing other menial tasks that will poorly prepare for actual ninja work."

Actually catching cats makes too much sense for ninja training.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sakura pls

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

You can't show a bump of that scene, it's still a year away.

 

[MikeMyers]

Does Sasuke ever win a fight in Part 1 that doesn't involve with him using the curse seal?

 

[Amikami]

Hey. That's a bump features some events pretty far off.

 

[Seda]

Bump for something like a year+ from now.

 

[ckohler]

Why "Bingo Book"? Do they play BINGO with their grandmas with it?

Sakura blushing? Oh jeez.
