The less people you have in a community, the better, since new people can get an idea of what the community standards are like and tone themselves down, and it's easier for the mods to handle without being overwhelmed.

So this thread's fine because we have like, what, less than two dozen frequent posters? And it's not like it's easy to join GAF in the first place.

So we need a Toonami fandom version of the "Zero Mortals Plan"?

Got it.

i'll have you know shipping is serious business....

only when the couples make sense and even then it's not very serious

 

[Dominican Power]

Lupin The Third is so good.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Amusingly, it seems like a valid strategy for having a happy shipping community is providing so many options that it's almost impossible for battle lines to be drawn, judging from the MLP fandom.

*catches up on the HxH episode*
Really great episode. I think the series does a good job faking you out when it comes to the climax of an arc. Like with the tournament being jumped over after the Gon match and to a lesser extent one of the upcoming arcs. Also the latest manga chapter

Spoiler

has me rethinking just how revenge crazed Kurapika is here. And I already thought he was going overboard before hand haha.

Regarding the kid Kurapika sees:

Spoiler

is he ever explained? He is mentioned at the beginning of the current manga arc too. Might have been part of the manga I jumped over?

I really need to get around to Lupin.

Off topic:
I had really been sleeping on Gintama. It's hilarious. Keep rotating between anime and manga since I can't decide what I want to go with haha.

That's a friend of Kurapika who died during the Kurta massacre. He appears in a movie (that's supposed to be terrible) and a movie tie in chapter that Togashi made that's good.

As for Gintama, stick to the anime. Even the filler is great (after the ones at the start).

You mean Pairoh Kurapika's dead childhood friend? That gets explained heavily in the manga.

To clarify, I don't believe it's a numbered chapter, so you might not encounter it if you're reading the series normally.

Ah that explains it. Guess I'll look for that chapter then. Thanks!

And yeah I had noticed that the added scenes to pad out an episode were just as funny. Good to know the full filler is good too.

Is it in any of the releases I could buy off of Amazon or Rightstuf?

 

[Hellwarden]

Oh...

The madness begins...

 

[YoodiHoshi]

the most famous person i've ever met is Zach Callison

Spoiler

the voice of Steven from SU

I think I met David Gallagher (from 7th Heaven, and he voices Riku in Kingdom Hearts) when I was around 3. He was (probably still is) friends with our close second cousin(s). And my sister got to play ping-pong with him, lol

Also an English teacher I've had starred as the villain in Children of the Corn

 

[Grexeno]

No it's not.

 

[Morlas]

Hunter x hunter is so much better as an anime...its funny if Naruto had a good adaptation that might be true of it too

There was no saving the war arc. It was a mess from the start and just got worse and worse.

Yeah but if every fight was on the level of later Naruto spoilers

kakashi vs obito it would've been way better

It wasn't even the fights. There were so many character decisions that were just terrible. For example let's just introduce a bunch of new characters at the end oh and Naruto and Sasuke are

Spoiler

the chosen ones!

 

[SigmasonicX]

No clue.

 

[Chase17]

Even Kishimoto probably knew that the war arc was going to be a train wreck lol. Realized that he dug too big of a hole with the Sasuke/Naruto relationship which he tries to fix with retconning in that they were close/connected prior to chapter 1 / chosen one nonsense (both lazy solutions that fail).

Also a good chunk of it he settles in on retreading the greatest hits of the series (none of which was very compelling haha).

 

[Grexeno]

Literally the ending of Naruto

 

[Mizerman]

I guess I'm not a true shipper then. I've shipped some weird things but I usually like for them to make sense.

No, you're a rational shipper.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the Goku/Frieza banter in Super is fucking horrendous

 

[Shard]

Toonami ratings for the week.

 

[Hellwarden]

I wonder how the Family Guy lead in did for the night.

 

[Jarate]

Remember when Toonami hot rid of One Piece and the entire block got shit ratings on a slow decline

THUS IS THE ONE PIECE CURSE

Spoiler

IDK if this is true at all but in my head it's true

 

[Shard]

I wonder how the Family Guy lead in did for the night.

Little over a million.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Jeez. The ratings haven't been good this month so far.

 

[BBboy20]

Man, AOT is showing the shit that got Americans all hyped for and many are now missing out.

 

[Jarate]

99% of DB Supers rating issues are because they decided to just not start post Frieza saga. Toonami should've just aired the actual really well made movies instead of the mediocre show we're getting

 

[HStallion]

Jeez. The ratings haven't been good this month so far.

Its the summer time, don't ratings usually go down in general since people are doing more outdoors and such?

 

[Morlas]

The 8pm super airing is also affecting it though I don't know by how much

 

[Jarate]

Remember Space Whale and Me?

Remember, I betcha Adult Swim spent money on that

 

[Seda]

Basically a year ago the TV airing of One Punch Man premiered and Toonami got some of its best ratings ever for while.

Lower ratings are a combination of less people watching TV in general, more people watching anime via streams, and Attack on Titan not being the phenomenon One Punch Man was.

 

[Hellwarden]

I think we would probably be getting double millions every week or so if Super wasn't also airing at 8pm.

 

[Morlas]

And also if we weren't over a year behind the jp broadcast...thanks toei

 

[Sibersk Esto]

It's weird. Usually, a big gap between airings tend to stir up demand but it seems AOT S2 has failed to really break out empirically, both in the U.S and Japan.

 

[JadedWriter]

Too many people are watching Tokyo Ghoul.

 

[BatDan]

I suspect people got tired of waiting and just switched to the manga.

Doing a 12 episode cour does seem to help, since we're getting Season 3 next year.

Too many people are watching Tokyo Ghoul.

I'm amazed that the manga is still majorly selling despite the anime not airing and being a big failure.
Then again, it could have been so bad that people went to the manga in droves.

 

[HStallion]

Don't worry, Season 3 of Attack on Titan should kill any remaining interest in the series.

 

[mightynine]

Seda, you expanding into other businesses?

It has its fans, I guess, but god that arc was a fucking snoozer.

They probably had to read the manga to find out what it's really about like with Berserk.
