This thread seems to be moving a tad bit slower than usual.

EVO I think.

 

[Raxus]

I've been way more focused on this SF4 salty suite than Toonami tonight.

Doesn't help that it was a pretty mediocre night overall.

Yeah the next few weeks are going to be pretty epic though.

 

[BassForever]

hey for those who have been keeping up with AoT beyond the anime, simple yes or no question

is female titan still the best titan or are there better ones

No IMO

 

[Man God]

Titan Murder Mystery!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh right. I missed the Bean and whoever stuff last week when I fell asleep.

 

[Raxus]

Titan Murder Mystery!

Spoiler

Is this ever solved?

 

[ckohler]

Is this the trial episode? If so, I'm out.

 

[Amikami]

I'm out for the night guys. Enjoy.

I do prefer Rave Master, though I haven't read it in a long time. This is in particular due to the series having an end goal right from the start and ramping things up appropriately as it goes on. Fairy Tail, meanwhile, didn't have a clear goal for a long time; I do feel hopeful about the current manga arc, though, perhaps foolishly. The Rave anime isn't good, though, because it ends halfway through the manga, and not only that, it literally ends right at the start of the arc where it gets really good. It also makes some odd changes, particularly in the beginning.

Makes sense. I also see that Mashima brought a couple of designs over to FT for some characters.

Nope, they censor the violence a lot, even though it was already censored in the transition from anime to manga. Still, great/dumb dub opening.

Good ol' Reel Big Fish.

 

[BassForever]

I think the next One Piece episode is one of the best in the whole series, one of the best moments for sure.

I still do. It's very YMMV. I think a lot of people will be disappointed by S2.

Manga spoilers

Spoiler

he's not around for long but the ape titan is by far the best

And if S2 goes to where I think it will there are plenty of good scenes, I dunno how much Toonami GAF will like it due to their luke warm reception of AoT in general though. I think the general anime audience will enjoy it if only because

Spoiler

there is a lot of explanations and twist of why things happened and the casual fanbase that eats up AoT will eat that up

 

[skLaFarebear]

Yeah the next few weeks are going to be pretty epic though.

Agreed. KLK and OP hitting their climax, Naruto's gonna really get going, DBZ is getting closer to the big showdown (though probably still a few good weeks away) and Michiko to Hatchin will hopefully continue to impress.

Feels like this week was just an off week/building up for something big for most shows.

2 episodes ago.

This is tonight's episode.

I feel like the only meh stretch was SAO and Shippuden, everything else was good this week.

If you're talking about who killed Bean and Sawyer, then yes dude. It's Annie. We even saw it already.

 

[Seda]

I remember thinking Jean was a good character the first time through, and a rewatch has solidified him as a favorite. His reactions to events around him feel appropriate and genuine without going totally melodrama (maybe a little),

 

[Line_HTX]

Is it wrong to be smitten by Annie? O////O

Ahh. Well, I would watch but I'm drifting off. See you guys tomorrow.

He's the main character. The show just doesn't follow him.

Seems so

 

[skLaFarebear]

I wasn't too big on KLK this week either, but it could just be the fact that SAO and Naruto felt like they went on forever tonight.

 

[MetatronM]

I think the next One Piece episode is one of the best in the whole series, one of the best moments for sure.

Yup, 309 is probably a top 3 episode. At worst top 5.

We're talking a category that includes things like 126, 236, 312, 405, etc.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh hey guys. This reminds me that it's time for ToonamiGAF's favorite Late Late Night Segment: What's Going On in the AoT Manga Now? Remember, don't click if you actually care.

Spoiler

So in the latest chapter it's revealed the whole thing with Eren not being able to stand up straight in the ODM gear during boot camp and the instructor guy were actually slightly related to the main story. Also, the instructor guy got some backstory.

 

[Man God]

They don't even know about her yet!

 

[lazybones18]

being smitten by a Female Titan....weirdo

It's for sure the latter, were Toonami just DBZ Kai, KLK, M&H, and OP we'd talk about how great of a night it was. Also the first half of SAO was arguably decently paced and mildly entertaining, the second half was literally the most boring part of any MMO for 15 minutes into 30 minutes of nothing in Shippuden.

For it's problems which AoT has plenty I do feel like the author has had a pretty decent idea of where the story is going and has done a pretty good job of foreshadowing the later twist in the series.

310 is even better. Specifically

Spoiler

the last minute.

 

[Line_HTX]

This started in the year 845. I think they'll get to the cellar in the year 860 when they're all adults. Maybe the year 865....

Why was Goku's SSJ hair blue in that trailer?

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

That's what it's called.

Yeah, you're right. I'm probably just not in the right mindset since I'm too into EVO right now lol.

 

[BassForever]

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

That's what it's called.

Hopefully the next film will add Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan to complete the trilogy

Toonami GAF is the prey, and Tom is the hunter.

Yup. Not quite on Oda's level, but he's got some skill.

 

[Man God]

Can you...dig it, sucka!

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's too bad this doesn't take place in the US. All of them would have joined up.

Oh, boy, that's a mouthful to say.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Nah because SSGSS is just going SS when you are in SSG form so it will go up to SSGSS3 before you have to go SSSGSSS.

Fuck Dragon Ball.

 

[Man God]

Sasha better not die.

 

[grandjedi6]

Oh hey, the named characters stayed. Shocking

The closest place to the size and area of all of Wall Maria is the state of Texas.

Shit, man. There'd be a waiting list to join the Survey Corps if they were in Texas.

 

[Man God]

Screw the other jobbers.

 

[grandjedi6]

Of course I joined, I'm the actual main character. You're just a specialized transformation unit with an arc specific backstory.

Mikasa thinks Eren is Al'Akir the Windlord.

Speaking of that, the Goku vs Superman rematch was entirely unnecessary.

And the fanboys will still rage no matter the outcome.
