Glad I'm not the only one who finds Chopper incredibly annoying

 

[BassForever]

My only problem with this final fight between Naruto and Sasuke in part 1 is that Sasuke's curse form looks completely stupid

Everyone else shouts too much

Sasuke really liked Gargoyle shows while growing up.

GITS: SAC
Naruto

this seems too damn weird to be true if you ask me.

 

[grandjedi6]

Lets do One Piece next! Main crew shown up to this point on toonami only.

1. Sanji
2. Luffy
3. Zoro
4. Robin
5. Nami
6. Chopper
7. Usopp

Are we counting only their characterizations up to this point in Toonami or their characters overall in the series? Cuz those two lists would be very very different (for example, Usopp > everyone else in the later).

Moved up GITS so people don't fall asleep during it seems like a good idea going by this thread.

Yup, having Jack so far back is really sad though

I was hoping it would be on before OG Naruto.

I was going to make the Bleach top 100 joke myself then I realized I can only spell ten of them maybe and only know maybe 20 characters by name.

I'd be totally cool with this because it'd make GitS a hell of a lot easier to watch at 2:30AM and Samurai Jack with no dialogue 90% would be an easier watch at 4AM

I can't see Samurai Jack premiering at 4AM

 

[Doctor Decimate]

yeah, but the show's pretty damn old. putting Jack with the other CN shows fits in with them wanting to group the more kid-friendly stuff toward the end, though.

 

[Man God]

For every action packed visual orgasm episode of Samurai Jack there is another calm and serene one that'll definitely prime the boring pump that IGPX already is.

EDIT: Samurai Jack is basically IGPX level free to air. They're putting it on because they finally wrangled permission out of CN who had been showing it every once in awhile on Boomerang.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

if Jack premieres at 4am that means we probably won't get a promo for it

That'd be disappointing. I'd miss Samurai Jack. :[

That's too bad, those would be some godtier promos. Didn't Toonami used to air Jack sometimes anyway? There's probably one or two of the old ones still floating around somewhere.

i see a disturbing lack of Rukia on this list.

#1 Espada with the guns and little girl

#1 Espada with the guns an little girl

He had a name?

Coyote Starkk, he was the number 1 Espada

Where's Chad?

I never cared for Chad

Fuck I always forget someone lol drop Ichigo's Dad and put Rukia above Ichigo

 

[Gucci Messiah]

They all did

aw, i was prepared to say "fite me irl"

Bleach names are dumb and hard to remember.

I like Baldy, Orohime, Rukia, Chad, Qunicy guy with glasses, the cat, Ichigo's dad, both his sisters, Tatsuke and that's about it.

 

[B-Dubs]

They all did

Wow, I always just called him Dobles Pistolas.

You aren't kidding.

I never found names hard to remember (manga reading) until they got to the Vizored/Arracar when they introduced waaaay too many of them waaaay too quickly.

hey, even i know Uryu (Quincy) and Yoruichi (cat). Ikkaku (baldy) took me a while.

 

[MikeMyers]

I like Mayuri (Weird Science).

 

[Man God]

EXACTLY. I used to know all these names from reading the manga, then they literally introduced thirty characters in about two months and I went, yep, don't care anymore.

hey, even i know Uryu (Quincy) and Yoruichi (cat). Ikkaku (baldy) took me a while.

Spoiler

I knew all those names but didn't want to butcher their spellings/was too lazy to look them up

The Fake Town arc needs Final Act-esque pacing.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

meh. i think most of the fights we saw on Toonami would be lame anyway.

 

[BassForever]

The Fake Town arc needs Final Act-esque pacing.

It'd still be too damn long because the source material it's based upon is too damn long, even if you cut every fight down to 1 episode it's still be like 30-35 episodes from the time the captains show up at Hueco Mundo to the point Ichigo and Aizen start their final fight

Final Act has REALLY fast pacing, every fight would probably be like 1 minute.

As much as we like joking about Bleach characters spending too much time explaining their powers, Bleach fights would be really hard to follow at times without them because of how weird the powers can be at times

 

[Man God]

The first episode of FINAL ACT feels like it covers a season of regular Inuyasha. It's insane.

Late to the party but Ultimate Anime Hero is gawdlike! Lost it at the Bleach part

I sort of like how HxH does it, they have freakier powers but with just a single box of exposition explaining it to the reader and not the others.

its like a rollarcoaster. The original series is you slowly going up the ride, then Final Act is when you go down REALLY fast.

Yeah, or have an omniscient narrator explain the power to the audience, still I do find it kind of cool (when done correctly) when a character in a shonen fight goes "this is my power and how it works and nothing you can do can stop it" and then said character stomps using said power.

Honestly I like how HxH handles it the best, that and how Naruto handled explaining Pain's power.

omniscient narrator is a product of the 90s and 80s, it works with HXH but wouldnt fly for more modern anime like bleach.
