Ouch at the One Piece drop. Here I was thinking we wouldn't see a significant drop until this weekend for the show. Gotta love that 1:1 pacing I guess.

At least InuYasha's replacement seems to be an all around improvement. It's debatable if AgK will be better or worse when all is said and done compared to KLK

Depends everyone's feeling about KLK at the end. I think the feelings for AgK will be universally similar whereas KLK will create a sharp divide like it did animeGAF.

Don't worry, maybe next week's One Piece will get higher ratings insteAH CRAP IT'S FILLER.
 
Could've sworn InuyashaGAF was just BEEEGGGIIIINNNGGG for Final Act to come to Toonami.

I wanted to see the conclusion of the story, as we've discussed had FA been paced like the original series most of its problems wouldn't be as profound. When the series condenses its flawed writing becomes unavoidable.

I figure that the main reason that Fairy Tail might not show up on the block is that half the the slots are already filled with long runners (and I doubt One Piece is actually in jeopardy of being delisted)

Why would they replace One Piece with a guys who's style is basically to copy one piece

if they wanted a long running anime to replace One Piece, i'd put more money on bleach then Fairy Tail

Yep, if they doubled the number of episodes it would have been much better.

In all honesty, could ToonamiGAF enjoy Fairy Tail (one way or another)? I've never seen it.

This is how this week's chapter of Fairy Tail began. (NSFW)

This is not an unusual occurrence for Fairy Tail. Take that for what you will.


It boggles my mind how the show goes on a roundabout to stick filler right in a giant canon arc.

It's because the show is about to go balls to the wall for the rest of the arc and its immediate aftermath. It's basically one last breather before 4 months or non-stop battles, arc climaxes, info dumps, and major series plot exposition.

Plus it's just 1 episode, compared to, say, Bleach, which literally outright stopped canon arcs mid-stream for full unrelated filler seasons.

It's not just the pacing that's the problem.........

Boss Luffy is awful and has never been funny. There, I said it.

Or at the very least very few - overall I can't say I've enjoyed much of my time in the Boss Luffy universe.

I, like many others, would say "why doesn't he get it over with and do porn" but given how awful most of the Japanese pornographic material I've been exposed to is, it would probably be a downgrade anyway LOL.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

Seriously, Splatoon is the best thing from Nintendo since The Wonderful 101.

It's not but those other issues wouldn't be as apparent and the better moments would have the time to work properly and would help mitigate the other issues. TFA tramples all over every single character moment it tries to do due to the rush, which makes it look far worse than it should. This is a case where the quality could be doubled if the run's time was as well.
 
Part of me wanted to make a joke about "Mega Man Boom" & then we'll get a game based on a show based on a game that already had a show originally.

Mega Man Boom would be infinitely better then Sonic Boom because it has Bass in it.

Agreed

Guys stop praising Splatoon. I really don't need new games right now and you're making it so hard to resist. :(

Thanks for reminding me I need to get back
 
Much more heinous is Shippuden which went into 20 WEEKS of filler even after the manga had completed.

To be fair to Shippuden, I imagine they already put in the work to create that filler arc at least partially so cutting it just because the manga ended would have been throwing away money.

You'd assume they'd be in conversation with Kishi and know the timetable he was working off of though. FMA:B managed to sync up the ending of the series and the manga to like the same week so there's really no excuse on their part for not knowing they didn't need to worry about filler.

They also were/are/have made 2 movies in this span of like a year (Naruto The Last and
Boruto
movie) so I imagine the filler was also an excuse for them to put the z team on Shippuden

That could be it, but it's not like they were up to anything important. The war in general is a bit of a slog.

What is going on with those sound effects? The fact that a chapter started like that is kind of disappointing, but seriously, what do those sound effects even signify?
Maybe they'll bring in Free for some Man service along with Kill LA Kill

Free is pretty manly, but I don't think Soul Eater is coming back any time soon. Unless you're talking about Soul Eater Not!?

Japanese onomatopoeia are weird, man.

As for Free... not sure if you're joking, but this is Free.
