The last chapter was a single misplaced censor bar away from being straight up porn

I'm not going to defend that scene, though I will say it was truly surprising that he got away with that in a weekly shonen. Honestly part of me wishes it was in an adult magazine Berserk was not ruined at all for its gratuitous sex scenes

I find that hard to believe, therefore I must seek prove in order to see if the statement that was made above holds true or not. That way, I can come up with an opinion that either agrees or disagrees with what you have said.

Toonami isn't going to air Shippuden openings, not even truncated ones. It basically gets a longer intro bump.

I prefer not to be one of those people that forms opinions without actually seeing the subject of the topic in question for myself in order to provide accurate facts when stating my thoughts on the matter.

Edit: All dat convenient censoring.

Oh that suuuuuuuuuucks. Most of the Shippuden ops were trash but they should at least show that for the start of Shippuden on Toonami. I also liked the evolving OP during the two Akatsuki arc, dont know the official name but dont want to spoil anything and people who watched Shippuden probably know what i mean.

I'd argue the majority of Shippuden's openings are great, starting with 4 until 9, and including 12 through 14 too.

Sadly they asked fans over twitter if we wanted toonami original openings or condensed ops and most of us wanted original openings expecting something along the caliber of prince of all sayians dbz intro
 
Guys, I was watching Colbert right now and one of the stories is straight out of Steins;Gate. Some physicists were looking for evidence of time travelers....online! Watch out, John Titor! They're after you!!! Luckily for ol' John Titor, they didn't find anything. He lives to fight SERN another day!

I was just surprised nobody else responded this sooner.
Oh hey. You're a full member now. Congrats.

You thought I was kidding didn't you. You thought I was being all extreme and overhyping it. Now you see.

It's not the fun kind of science though, it's the sad, almost rapey kind.


So fucking good. Maybe we can get a better toonami opening to Shippuden when we get to the better stuff, odds are they just don't want to spoil anything.

Bleach 326

lol Ice Dork

that is all.

Another thing though, instead of the usual opening, the 'Watch [adult swim]' video has a 30 second little montage of clips (alike to the classic DBZ one posted on this page) from this filler arc, bookended by T.O.M. pressing a button and the title in the Toonami font. So Bleach also has a 'Toonami opening' now? Is that what aired last week?

it's kinda funny, i thought the Bleach opening was better than the Shippuden one and we didn't even know that one was coming.

Yup, we're not getting Bleach OPs anymore. Which means we aren't getting the best part of the episode anymore.

Bleach probably just has more shots to work with right now. I can think of a few awesome Naruto moments coming up they should use when it comes time to make a new one.

Having just watched these, I agree, but the of course it's no substitute for what we used to have.

EDIT: Still amused that the One Piece page plays the 4Kids rap.

So I never bothered to see how ToonamiGAF reacted to Space Dandy since I spent most of my time talking about in AnimeGAF and it's OT. Generally positive? Negative? In-between?

Well generally the consensus seems to be that the first half wasn't as strong as the second half (but wasn't bad either), which was funnier and culminated in the greatest ending to the first episode of a series ever.

One Piece 235

I already knew Usopp and Luffy fought (I mean, it's in the full version of the opening). And it was mostly clear once they mentioned that the Merry couldn't be repaired to Luffy and Nami why animosity would start to form. I think the build up was mostly good, largely due to Usopp's attachment to the Merry and a refusal to let go. The character had started to realize what he was not capable of (compared to the others) and blamed himself for the lost money. Even after Luffy straight-up tells him the ship can't be repaired and that money isn't the problem, his self-blame in addition to refusal to lose the merry culminates where Usopp isn't totally rational at the moment.

I think this is the first time we truly see a confident Usopp, who believes he can beat Luffy to get the Merry back. He's certainly shown 'bravery' in the past as he sometimes gets a momentary burst of courage to do something notable, but I think this is the most determined we've seen him, despite acting a bit irrationally.

(... unless I'm forgetting a key Usopp moment before this)

Soul Eater 41

Not much really happened. Stein is dealing with his madness, Joe finds that there's an item they need to control brew, and Crona wants to go after Medusa. Kind of a set-up episode I guess. Some cool soundtracks though.

Maybe I'll watch Space Dandy tomorrow.
 
For 11-13 episode DVDs that were $30 each, I just couldn't say no

And with the weather being the way that it is, this is the perfect way to kill time

So I read Fairy Tale this week.

Why does DTL like this? Is like the most anti-DTL smut I've seen since that time he tried reading Aunt Tits

It's usually not like that, more generic shonen (with fantastic art) and a by the book story.

That's more accurate

Cause the main character Natsu and other lead male Gray have a total bromance going on, Gray also strips all the time for no reason so it makes DTL very sweaty

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Ah, that makes sense. What is the Always Win factor of the show?

Friendship conquers all.
Seriously, you might as well call the series "Fairy Tail: Friendship is Magic". It's 2 steps away from being about colored ponies.

How often is the word "Nakama" used?

*shrugs*
Pretty much everyone that translates Fairy Tail doesn't use that.
In fact, only One Piece gets stuck with that. Thankfully, anyone that uses it gets admonished for their stupidity.

I use it ironically to explain how Natsu and company always get second wind to power up and win the fight calling it Nakama power. Natsu clearly maxed his out before he met Lucy and the plot began because he always gets the maximum benefit from the skill every fight.
 
That Fairy Tail chapter is insane. I really need to stop thinking people might be exaggerating about stuff in this thread.

This is a place of trust.
 
Started the land of tea arc and am enjoying it so far. I feel like part 1 needed one or two more arcs like this either before the chunin exam or after tsunade becomes hokage so I'm down with it.
