But honest recommendation, watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K if you haven't already. It's humor reminds me a lot of Gintama and it makes a lot of meta jokes about anime tropes without ever becoming self-indulging like a lot of other series that goes down this path do.

Part 2 has a fair share of interesting/fun characters like Karin, Tobi, Hidan, Kakuzu, etc the problem is the main cast is a wet blanket. I'd like to further add Killer Bee represents an odd moment for the series where it seems like we're going to start a wider variety of ninja's from the remaining villages but outside of the Kages and Killer Bee the other 3 ninja villages get pretty shafted.

I definitely agree that the other villages got shafted. They mostly do a highlight reel over important figures and some others that are just shown for a moment or two during

the Fourth Shinobi World War arc

.......

 

[BassForever]

.......

Compared to 90% of the new characters introduced in part 2?

 

[Chase17]

Karin actually serves a great purpose

Spoiler

it's hilarious when sasuke kills her. It's too bad they didn't go through with it though. Might be my favorite sasuke part 2 moment lol

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Putting Karin's name next to Tobi and Hidan is criminal.

 

[Mizerman]

Tobi's a good boy.

So the rumors say.

Yes. She's one of the worst.

It's even worse when they show she still likes him afterward. Ugh...

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Honestly I'd say the Cloud Village as a whole probably introduced the best side characters in Part 2.

Karin

must not be forgotten.

Question for people who have seen it, doesn't Desert Punk start off as a gag series, then get incredibly dark?

 

[cntr]

From what I know, Desert Punk was always kind of dark, since well, it literally takes place on the nuclear-blasted desert ruins of Tokyo.

 

[Man God]

Not incredibly dark but not Especially light hearted.

 

[Mizerman]

It gets serious during the second half, yeah.

Think Trigun but with the protagonist being a douche

 

[cntr]

Also since the Part 4 thread reminded me and I figure you guys might find it interesting, there's a website that compares the Jojo TV episodes with the Blu-rays, and here's what the last episode looked like. (Toonami got the BD version.)

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Question for people who have seen it, doesn't Desert Punk start off as a gag series, then get incredibly dark?

In a way. Desert Punk veers heavy into black comedy at the start but about half way through it becomes more cynical and there's a sudden reveal that makes all the humor from the first half take an even darker turn.

 

[cntr]

shit that reminds me that I gotta read Desert Punk

my reading list becomes ever longer

I can 2nd this recommendation. I keep up with the manga & found the anime enjoyable. I wouldn't mind rewatching it just to see how Funimation handled the dub.

 

[Hellwarden]

It dawned on me recently that I haven't seen any of the Resident Evil movies.

Not the live action ones, or the CG ones.

I watched the dub and I thought it was pretty solid overall even though they cast most of their regulars. Stand outs were definitely Jerry Jewell as Saiki and Micah Solusod as Kaidou.

I've heard the CGI ones (especially the 2nd one) were actually rather good & worth watching if you like RE.

All I can think of is how it's called "Final Chapter" when other horror franchises tried to name something "final *something*", only for more of them to be made. Hell, Friday the 13th did it TWICE, yet still had more movies.

Because OF COURSE, MH has to crossover with everything.

there's a crossover between Jojo and Monster Hunter

I watched the first dubbed episode of that the other day.

It's not bad. Likable characters go a long way.

Is this some sort of Monster Monsume spinoff or something?

Only monster girls can save Toonami's ratings slump. 😀

You mean Fuuka.

Seriously though, I'd love to see Level E hit Toonami. Togashi's troll levels are off the goddamned charts in that series.

 

[Zonic]

wtf, the new S-E announcement ISN'T an Avengers world in Kingdom Hearts 3?

This is what I get for having my hopes up for a S-E announcement after the TWEWY port teaser.

Is this anywhere near as good as YYH or HxH?

 

[B-Dubs]

It's a different kind of series, but yes it is. You have to give it three episodes though, trust me on that one. Three episodes.

Are the first three Togashi's usual slow lead up to the actual story? Cause HxH is a slow burn, but I do like it...so was YYH.

Am I being set up for another School Days melt down?

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

So I watched the Fuuka dub last night after I got off from work. I try to make it a thing of not making fun of voice actors, but Aaron Dismuke sounds like he's been going through perpetual puberty.

I'm still hoping this isn't another school days. I have watched up to ep 3 so far.

Scum's Wish is looking like it will be the School Days of this season.

 

[Zonic]

Scum's Wish basically describes Makoto & his desires.

Also damn, OPM is leaving the block next week. It's going to be interesting rewatching GitS now that I'm much older & have a better idea what I'm in for compared to teenager me who would usually fall asleep watching it, therefore having to record it & watch it during the day, only to still question "why is this so popular?"

How the hell is Dismuke's voice still changing? OG FMA was how many years ago?

Is this some sort of Monster Monsume spinoff or something?

From what I've heard, Interviews With Monster Girls is "a series about a biology teacher having discussions with monster girls about how their biology and normal life works, and there's no fanservice or lewdness involved."

...at least, the manga's that way. The anime moeified all the character designs, GATE-style, so I dunno if they did other crap.

"biology"

suuuuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee

believe it or not, that's really is what it is, lol

it's probably the only monster girl-related series I'd actually read for that reason

It's just the way his delivery sounds. It's just really weird.

I guess you could say it's having a.....mass effect on your anticipation for the game.

.....I never cared for Mass Effect, despite being a sci-fi/tech guy. Maybe it was just the presentation or something. *shrugs*

I'm talking about Level E, not Fuuka. Level E is legit good. It's up there with Fumoffu.
