it's been done for a couple of years dude

Makes sense. I put it down a good amount of years ago.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

catching up to the toonami showdown:

"Get out of here with that laffy taffy bullshit!"

edit: you guys should just forget about this Toonami nonsense and just talk about whatever on this podcast

tbh that's what it feels like we do sometimes lol

 

[Mizerman]

*Guitar riff*

 

[Shard]

You guys should just stop watching Tokyo Ghoul, tbh.

It's basically Pierrot writing shitty fanfic, 'cause that's is the point where the anime totally breaks from the manga.

It also makes for a decent hatewatch, which we like to do as well. It is very telling that pretty much everybody just stopped watching Gundam Unicorn and its endless boring of thier own accord.

 

[JadedWriter]

I will still say that Unicorn is better than Tokyo Ghoul. You guys are just old types weighed down by earth's gravity.

 

[Grexeno]

I would say yes i only watch the first two episodes and it's the only lupin i've seen and i would say like the typical anime on toonami it's the kinda show that would appeal to the casuals.

I had to look back and see its competition. It beat out Death Parade and JoJo's End of the World?

I am howling.

It is hard to find non spoiler versions of the second OP.

really don't care if it beat out those for best opening of 2015.
the real crime is
one punch man.

as I considered death parade a very distant number 2 for openings that year.

can they double up on AoT2 so we can get to jojo faster?

[Hellwarden]

STAND POWAAAAR!

 

[bigkrev]

Throwing this out- anyone here THINK they want to go to Anime Expo next year?

 

[Zonic]

I wouldn't mind going, but I don't know if I could afford the flight + accommodations, let alone figuring out how to take time off work. Same issues I have with wanting to go to E3 (though I'm waiting for them to figure out how to handle the increased crowds since my fears were confirmed this year that the increased attendance made it harder to get around + play games).

One of these days, I should see if my friend & I can attend a local convention, but those are harder to find in Michigan, especially with our work schedules & night shift.

 

[Grexeno]

Don't go to cons unless you want to buy a ton of stuff.

 

[Hellwarden]

Don't go to cons unless you want to buy a ton of stuff.

I would imagine you, at least, would want to have 200 dollars ready to spend.

Anything less and it's not worth it.

 

[Zonic]

One of my fears is I travel to some kind of convention & somehow spend more on travel or lodging, then havng to figure out how to bring the stuff I bought back with me.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

I guess my thing is I hate being in super crowded locations like that for a prolonged amount of time so I can only see myself enjoying it for so long lol

 

[Grexeno]

Also don't go unless you have more sick/vacation time for after the con because you will get Spanish Fever or some shit

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I'd like to go one day, but I have no idea what obligations I'll have a year from now.

 

[HStallion]

I usually go to feel better about myself.

 

[zulux21]

Don't go to cons unless you want to buy a ton of stuff.

I rarely ever buy much from cons. in general the ones I end up at don't have great prices. tend to be able to get stuff cheaper from any given amazon or rightstuf sale thus I don't buy much.

I think the most I have spent is $50 last year because one of the board game shops were selling some games I was interested in at really cheap prices for the first time in 5 years lol.

 

[Seda]

I only go to cons if I have a press pass.

 

[JadedWriter]

I don't want to be trapped in a basement full of unwashed geeks, so yeah...never been to a con.

 

[Zonic]

I'd like to go one day, but I have no idea what obligations I'll have a year from now.

I have this issue as well, because there are some weeks where we can't request time off because it just gets too busy due to big movies coming out (i.e. Star Wars in Dec.) & summer is when things pick up due to blockbuster films & kids being out of school, plus Pixar seems to love to release films the Friday after E3. & night crew doesn't have as many employees that can help cover.

My best friend really wants me to go since it's been a dream of ours for so many years, but I have to keep my expectations in check & understand that it could still take a few years to save the money up, be able to take all that time off, & such. Even worse, we can't go together since my friend couldn't afford it & even if he could, we both can't take time off at the same time because there isn't enough employees to help cover for our days off.

I'd mainly be going for the Artist Alley and meetin internet friends who make me super jealous by posting fun pics from the event

That's why you bring a spare suitcase!

My immune system game is 💪

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

The score during that scene was just perfect.

 

[Line_HTX]

I love how there's a progressively LOUDER rumbling effect at the Forest of Giant Trees when he's told to stop and drop the pretense that he's a soldier.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I'm glad that Hellwarden and Caliph have taken on Man God's legacy.

 

[Seda]

man god is not dead forever

 

[cntr]

Really like how their faces flash to their titan forms as the lightning hits.

 

[Mizerman]

man god is not dead forever

He is simply in his non-canon dimension.

 

[Jarate]

I wish I watched more anime on my computer so I could make more gifs

Not that I've had time to watch anything ;-;

The good news is that I have over $3k saved and I've lost 20 lbs doing pizza delivery. I've just been super stressed out and been getting worked half to death!

If AX is a no-go, maybe Otakon or A-Kon might be good alternatives, with the former being in June and latter being in August.
Anime Expo is the biggest anime convention, but there's plenty of smaller cons and local cons that can be just as fun.

 

[B-Dubs]

He is simply in his non-canon dimension.

He's in a non-canon tournament to determine the best non-canon poster.

 

[Shard]

I will still say that Unicorn is better than Tokyo Ghoul. You guys are just old types weighed down by earth's gravity.

This is probably a correct statement but still doesn't change the fact that Unicron just put people to sleep.

 

[Schadenfreude]

What did Man God do now?

 

[Zonic]

I will still say that Unicorn is better than Tokyo Ghoul. You guys are just old types weighed down by earth's gravity.

The thing is that they're different kinds of bad.

Unicorn is more competent, but good lord is it BORING AS HELL, which you could argue is the worst kind of bad because there's nothing to take from something that's boring. There's only so much technobabble you can take before it just becomes white noise.

Tokyo Ghoul is at least intriguing in how bad it is & just hilarious at its attempts of being edgy, which makes for a more interesting group watch because there's just a lot more to comment on what it's doing wrong.

I'll have to look more into those. A-Kon sounds more plausible since August is when things are starting to wind down due to kids going back to school soon, college starting again, & there's not as many big films premiering.

 

[Hellwarden]

Watching some Batman Beyond.

Man, Willie gets a rough deal.

Granted, not as bad as that one off villain who straight up falls through the center of the Earth.

I think Unicorn works better as a solo watch if you actually grew up with the subject matter. I have seen so much UC Gundam that I was fine with it. It drags at times and fuck the ending but I do like the bulk of it. Tokyo Ghoul is well, it started fine, but by ep 10 it got stupid as fuck. The meat of the story has potential, but the skeleton of it is just not sturdy.

Batman Beyond legit had some dark ass endings.

Even down the line, Mr. Freeze still got a bum rap.

"Believe me, you're the only one who cares."

 

[JadedWriter]

Bane is a vegetable.

 

[cntr]

Batman Beyond had a dope opening.

Really, why isn't Cyberpunk Batman more of a thing? It should be.

 

[caliph95]

Bane is a vegetable.

Good

Harley Quinn became a "stable" grandmother

 

[HStallion]

The Mr. Freeze episode is pretty damn sad.

With whose kids though? That's actually a pretty funny easter egg.

 

[cntr]

The 90s Spiderman theme was pretty damn weird.

SPIDER-BLOOD! SPIDER-BLOOD! RADIOACTIVE SPIDER-BLOOD!

The Mr. Freeze episode is pretty damn sad.

One of the best episodes of the DCAU, yo. If it's not just the best. And pretty up there for shows in general.

 

[caliph95]

Idk all we know she has twin jokerz grandaughters and i think she's raising them so her kids are dead i guess.

Also Dick grayson hates bruce because remember the best scene in KJ and runs i think a gymnast school

 

[BBboy20]

Pre-Flight is coming back to SDCC. Wonder if I'll talk to the same people in line as in last year.
