Probably were already talking about it, but the deal wasn't set in stone yet. I would guess legally that was their only option.

I like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time but I agree that
the plot twist is kinda bad
I mostly lurked for a long while when rock band gaf died out. I used to be down to like 2 posts per day before Toonami gaf started
I am now shook.

Thus began the Canon wars.
LOL. It's mostly the NFL season, is all. And then there's Anime, Toonami, and Fighting Game Headquarters.
I don't know why you would ask me that anyway. Just look at LaFarebear. He has a higher rate than I do.
I didnt really like the OP to Dimension W, havent heard the ED yet, but im assuming it's better then the BATCHAKOI ED

AssClass is ending soon. Time to binge-read.
What makes a great OP or ED is more than just the music. It's the the animation, tone, and story-telling combined with the music. They're basically music videos so, to me, it's wrong to judge them based solely on the song.
That's a given since the Bacchikoi ED is terrible, imo. About the only thing it has going for it is some ultra-campy fanservice. Every time it airs, I feel embarrassed for Toonami fans.

Meh, im a big pretentious asshole when it comes to music (idk why, not like that with much outside of that
) so a bad song can ruin really good animation, while a good song can redeem bad animation, but most Japanese music used is pretty BLEHThere needs to be more Prog Rock songs used, it's the ultimate anime genre!

AssClass has been a short, but fun ride.
I appreciate a story that knows not to overstay its welcome.

Oh, I agree about the bad song with good animation ruining them. All I meant was that for an OP or ED to be great, it needs more than just good music. Sometimes, I see people saying an OP is great simply because of the song even when the animation or tone of the OP is uninspired.
I know it's more comedy-based, but i think it could work for Toonami
I think the opening's music is good. The slight techno/electronica works and seems to fit the show. The first 40 seconds are better than the rest.The MC dancing is fun, but the car clip drags for too long as does the alley clip.
The ending vocals I'm not too much a fan but they aren't bad. I quite like the animation/style when the android is in the yellowed panels. The hoodie clips and window washing (seemingly representing a normal mundane human task being done by a non-human) might be more resonant when I know more about the character.

After playing Project X Boring I don't think I actually want to play Super Robot Wars, just watch a supercut of all the super moves.

The Life of Pablo - 39:48 / 47:12 (after Tidal tangent)
Deadpool - 54:38
Bardock: The Father of Goku - 1:06:47
"We feel like Pablo when we review Deadpool, Bardock: The Father of Goku, and Kanye West's new album. But first, we discuss Batman v Superman's last trailer, Assassin's Creed, and hot dogs at Burger King. We also go off on tangents about Tidal, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the illustrious career of Michael Ironside."
I like Bardock because it's a departure from the formula, but in a way I think that's what's carrying it? The movie/special itself isn't great in the second half and it has some definite issues such as its attempts to redeem Bardock near the end (can anyone confirm if that's a dub-only thing?), but it feels fresh compared to everything else we've watched. I guess it serves to reiterate the point that a great DBZ movie (or special in this case) is not necessarily a great movie, though I did still enjoy Bardock.

I can confirm the dub like Goku tried to make Bardock far more heroic. The dub is quite frankly one of Funimation's worst and literally every character was changed from the original.

Here's a great write up from Kanzenshuu on how hacked up the dub was.

Unlike Angry Kirby, changing Goku and Bardock into more "herolike" characters worked wonders for them and really appealed to Western wants.
Kirby eyebrows are weird, as everyone who wants to play Kirby want to play it because it's a cutesy platformer

His brilliance saved Vegeta and his crew from some radical weaponry on Rigel-7.
the final bosses of every Kirby game are always some fucked up thing though

Yeesh. Well that explains that. Bardock's whole last minute redemption in the dub is pretty much nonsense.

The dub definitely tried to make Bardock come off as a better person which really doesn't work. Generally speaking, the dub is pretty bad which sucks. A shame the audio quality for the sub is horrendous for this one.
Are you talking about the 1st game or the 2nd? I heard the 1st game had issues but I had hoped they worked on that for the 2nd game....
I had no idea. Bad Funimation! Bad!
Real talk, the end boss to like every other Kriby game is an Eldritch Abomination. It's a really weird series in that respect.

The first. Everything takes so goddamn long.
Alright, who here has an alt account and made this thread http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1186673
Don't get me wrong.
I do think it is certainly very possible for a dub or localization to improve on some elements or characters with certain types of changes. I think people are sometimes way, way too quick the enshrine what is 'original'.
But Bardock's persona always felt weird to me in English, even as a youngster. Not too surprising that it's quite the departure from what it was and it doesn't really fit.

...Yeah, okay it's me.
They were not wrong at a certain point.
Oh, that old dub line. Looking back, I was like "wut?"
Hating on Krillin...

Remember how Frieza's attack sent Bardock back in time for no reason?
I want to freeze myself in carbonite until it gets here tonight, the wait is too much.

On the subject of Fire Emblem, and kind of RPG in general, how do people here feel about grinding?
Because as weird as it may sound, I sometimes take some pleasure in just grinding. Getting my units super buff.
