Who told you guys I was going into season 2!! I haven't even decided that story line yet!

I was gonna make this joke :[
And yeah Ass Class is a weird manga, good but it's a slow burn for sure. It's basically the Karate Kid in manga form where you replace Karate with Assassinations and Mr Miagi with an Alien who plans to destroy the world.
Which is part of the problem. The way it flows is pretty jarring since you can tell it is going directly from the manga chapters. Things should smooth out when we hit an arc.

Meh. I liked B-Dubs season 1 better.
Oh season 1 is killer, but wait until you see what the writers have in-store for season 2! It's a nailbiter, a real slow burn, a real humdinger.
Due to some combination of
-Lack of skill, ambition and/or time
-Fear of backlash from the fans/publisher/author
the general feeling I get about a lot of manga to anime adaptations is that they stick so close to the source material that it becomes detrimental to the anime. Anime and manga are different mediums and thus have their own strengths and weaknesses. Many manga also start off damn slow before they "get good". I feel a lot of anime adaptations would be improved as television shows if they took a few more liberties with the source material. Somewhat related, there was a good discussion in the AnimeGaf thread about how a particular director was able to do especially strong work on YYH episodes and how his work stood in strong, positive contrast to his peers. A good director can really do a lot to elevate the source material if they have the skills (and time of course).
B-Dubs season 1 felt so young and new and interesting . Im hoping it doesnt become boring and old as season 2 goes on

Your example of YYH is kind of funny because they simply massively cut the first arc of the anime to get to the battle shonen faster something I wish the Medaka Box anime had done as it probably would have been received better. I think a better example of what you're talking about can be seen in the manga -> anime of One Piece or Death Note. One Piece manga starts with Luffy's origin story where as in the anime we get a few episodes of Luffy doing more action/pirate things before flashing back to explain his origin and motivation. Deathnote also flips the order of events in the first episode opting to air them more chronologically showing Light's descent real time before Ryuuk shows up to establish the rules/plot where as the manga has Ryuuk show up and explain the rules/plot after he points out how many people Light has killed, and then we flash back to see how he started killing people. These small changes improve upon the manga story in a meaningful way without radically changing the plot or introducing new issues.

So Kill La Kill episode 2 has a runtime of 23:16 on Adult Swim tomorrow.
Possibly a full opening with a cut ending? Anyone wanna do the math?

Ignoring the commercial break, I think episode 2 is 24:27, OP, ED, and next episode preview included. So that'd be a minute & nine seconds cut out. I'm sure the next episode preview will be removed, which is 15 seconds long.
Both the OP & ED are about 1:30, give or take a second or two.

Sounds right. Full OP, cut/half ending and no preview comes to 23:11 for me. So, just five seconds difference.

Was it the collector's edition?
Mine was supposed to be delayed until Tuesday but I talked to CS and they upgraded it to same day shipping.
Oh man, I've been playing Majora's Mask after my data went over to the New 3DSXL. New 3DSXL is godlike by the by, it's so sleek and everything is in the perfect spot. I love it so much even if it is the red one and not the black one.
Yes. Ugh, it already shipped.
Dude, you gotta make comparisons if you still have an old3DS.

Damn that sucks. I guess I caught if before it shipped.
The CE is pretty damn small though. Kinda disappointing next to the MM LE.
I never grew up with MM and even I really like the statue. One Fry in Sac already sold out but the other never contacted me back if they still have any (phone numbers just go to some central automated machine).

I almost bit on the PSTV Amazon deal, but ended up cancelling my order.
Instead I spend almost as much on fighting games in the flash sale! Button Masher for life!

Holy crap at the weeaboos in the Funimation simuldub block thread lol
Most of the thread seems fine to me. One person certainly being a dummy about it, like 3/4 people simply saying they prefer subs, a bit of a dbz conversation and the rest is good.
It's kind of like candlejack where saying it brings the wrath down on
Every god damn time, I swear to god.

So, I found some HD episodes of Bebop around Adult Swim's episode website.....seems like they had episode previews.
Shame they couldn't continue.
(I might be late, I dunno.)

I was walking somewhere and listening to music and then this came on and I got super hype and reexcited for Gurren Lagann tonight.
Hell of an episode.

Probably too early to tell but we can extrapolate the fact that not having Dragon Ball Z Kai lead the block was an blunder of epic proportions.
DBZ Kai & Kill la Kill both had over 1 million viewers, but then dropped to 800,000ish when Naruto Shippuden came on.
Still a bit early to tell, though.

We really won't have a good idea of this until mid March when we've had a good 4-6 weeks with this line up.
