Everyone knows that Rachnera is the best monster girl.
Also, I'm willing to bet Akame Ga Kill is gonna rerun on Toonami after Kill La Kill is done.

Is this a sneak peak of our future lineup?
I've actually seen the dub. Much better than you'd think for a sentai dub. They got Chris Patton and Luci Christian (the FMP VAs) to play Keima and Elsie and they both fit the role very well. Everyone else is hit or miss, but its leagues above stuff like Akame ga Kill.
I completely forgot about that. Luckily the two of them have good chemistry and are unable to give a bad performance.

Dragon Ball Z: Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan
Right, so the Broly trilogy. This might end up generating some conversation given the notoriety of the films.
So here's the thing about Broly. At best, he had wasted potential as a character. At worst, he may be the flattest character in the entire series. Sure they try fleshing him out with backstory but it's half-assed and the reason they give for Broly's hatred of Goku is almost laughable in contrast to the tone of the film (You hate him because he cried as a baby, really?). All he does throughout the entire film is scream, yell out Kakarot's name and blow shit up. And people out there really like to hype him up (looking at you Dragon Ball Multiverse) but the fact is that he may be the worst part about his own film. On a side note, he's a perfect example of how there is such a thing as having too much muscle.
It's not just Broly's character I take issue with. The film suffers from pacing issues in the first half of the film. Pretty much half of the first half (particularly anything involving Chi-Chi) is utterly pointless and serves to pad out the run time. You could have cut a chunk of it and nothing would have been missed. In addition, Vegeta's being reduced to a wreck from the mere sight of Broly becoming the LSSJ and staying like that for the majority of the second half felt very out of character. Also Piccolo shows up out of fucking nowhere. Nothing new for these films granted but Goku and Gohan ask him about it and his response is basically "because of reasons."
Okay I think I'm done bitching about the film's problems. Let's talk about the good stuff.
The film has an original plot and it does the Garlic Jr. thing of having the villain motivations (one of them at least) tying into the franchise lore. The big fight with Broly is engaging if only because It's probably one of most brutal battles in the series. It also has some good animation, which helps the fight with Broly amongst other things.
But yeah It's a mixed bag overall albeit one leaning towards a negative reception given I have more harsh things to say about it.
Not exactly legendary in personality.

There was one with Videl that I feel like was better, if only because I like her and Teen Gohan together.

That's an insult to cardboard. You can do so much with cardboard. Not much you can do with a guy who's sole purpose (aside from breaking Vic Mignogna's vocal cords) is to yell and destroy everything in sight.

Broly is the character something like Robot Chicken creates to parody DBZ only he's played completely straight.

You mean I didn't just do so already?

Remember how Vegeta practically spent the entire Broly movie crying, and had to be carried into battle by Piccolo?
Wait, you were there?
Look on the bright side? The awkward dub could fit the awkwardness of high school love?

So what do you guys have planned for the weekend?
I just beat Yoshi's Wooly World. Other than some weak levels, and some kinda meh bosses, that's a really fun game. Nice way to relax.
Yoshi is like Kirby, in that he's (she's?) a huge monster. And we should be grateful they're not real.
Now, I gotta get serious, get some studying done. I was hoping my final semester would be easy, but no luck. Got some hard classes boys.
Also, guys, I order us all t-shirts.

I'm probably gonna slack off.

I've got a bit of writing to do and some GIFs to finish for a thread I'm making on Monday.
I don't even think Vic Mignogna liked playing as Broly in hindsight.
Probably go and get killed some more in Bloodborne.

Without going into spoilers, these last few episodes of AgK are going to be batshit crazy.

I need to finish a short story, do homework, edit a podcast, record another podcast, watch the relevant movies of 2015, and finally get back on Xenoblade X.
Help.
Help.
Verily.

Don't do any of those things and just post on GAF all weekend.

that's probably what's gonna happen
Probably start Onechanbara Z2 Chaos &/or play more M&L: Paper Jam and do the Project X Zone 2 demo a few more times so I can get all the rewards for when the full game releases in a few weeks.
Also, I'm starting to notice some ads on the Subscriptions page will have sound (even if I can't see them & it's just a black box), which is kind of annoying.

One of my absolute favorite games.
I'm playing one of my other favorite games and one of the few games I absolutely love powerleveling in, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. In fact I ruined my day off Friday and fucked my back for a few hours sitting in a weird position in my bed playing it for eight hours last night just setting up Marche as a Thief to steal EVERYTHING before the story has even started!
Laws, Races, Learning skills from equipment are three things a lot of people complain about, but they absolutely make the game for me.
The idea that in universe the laws are treated as bullshit is one of the interesting parts of it. Just take the minute it takes to readjust your party to fit the laws. It's even better when immune boss characters show up; first ones with the ribbon who can't get anything above a yellow and will take the penalty all day every day, then the ones actually in with the powers that be that flaunt the laws. I love the whole antilaw card plot, and the revenge you take on the judges in the post game arc is fantastic.

FFTA is an excellent game that I really need to get back into. Definitely one of the best games on the GBA.
College homework all weekend and I got work tomorrow night. Gonna do my best to fit in some SFV beta time whenever I possibly can, then finish up my Trails of Cold Steel replay and set up my new 64 GB Vita memory card in preparation for Digimon.
And obviously, Toonami.

No meaningful football or hockey this weekend, so I'm going to pull a last minute writeup on my Top 5 AOTY 2015 as well as catching up to the current season airings.
I'm just anxiously waiting for Super Week to begin.
Other than that, just playing a little bit of DFOG after their comprehensive rework of the entire game
I went to a panel and he said to everyone that Broly killed his voice. He even admitted that he didn't know how he got through three movies, let alone one.
Did someone take your normal Tsukihi avatar?
