At best, we'll probably get crappy cropped "HD" remasters like they're doing for One Piece right now

GT Kai is how I watch it. Just the last two arcs, which are fantastic.













Got some Indie Nintendo games in this post, if you quote it.
 
Listening to D.Gray-Man's openings again (note: last one is pitch shifted, here's a nonshifted version), it really would have been a great fit for Toonami. If it wasn't for the facts that:
1. The anime doesn't cover all of the manga and doesn't resolve the story.
2. The manga is on indefinite hiatus and turns to crap almost right after the point where the anime ends anyway.
3. The dub only covers the first half of the anime.
4. The first half of the anime is a bad adaptation riddled with censorship and filler. The second half is legitimately good, though.

... OK, so maybe it isn't a good fit. But damn, those are great openings.

Rules and Regulations- How to have a safe experience at Dashcon 2015!

Hey there! If you’re reading this, you’re most likely going to attend Dashcon 2015 in Florida this year! Great!


Of course, it isn’t you whose attending this year either. Many people from many walks of life are attending, too! As such, we have to make this enjoyable for everyone. Read on for the rules and regulations

First of all, let’s get the stuff you can’t do out of the way.


We approve of cosplays greatly! We love the effort people go to to resemble their favorite characters from their favorite fandoms. However, we will not allow the following:


-Any clothing relating to topics such as: Gamergate (Including all “vivian James” cosplay, no matter how subtle), MRAs, or content that may offend minority groups. Please don’t bother, as our staff will not allow you in until you change into something more acceptable.

-While you are allowed to wear cosplays of “M” rated games or R rated films and television programs (IE: Team fortress 2), we will not allow cosplays featuring realistic looking damage, injuries, etc. If the characters design wouldn’t be shown in a PG-13 film, please don’t wear it.

-Cosplays of a sexual nature. We get that some people may have “larger than average” buttocks or breasts, be it through surgery or naturally, but please do not go around in cosplays that intentionally show them off.

-Don’t bring swimsuits with you to the event, there isn’t a swimming pool around!


In regards to behaviour:

-Do not make tumblr posts about any complaints you have. Contact an officer instead so we can sort it out

-If you are white, straight or gay, and “cisgendered”, you are considered part of a majority group. Please be mindful of the priviliges that come from such.

-Do not attempt to bring in or debate about any “Anti-SJ” content. Do so, and your ticket will be nullified, no “ifs” or “buts”.

-Similarly, do not harass minority groups.

-Do not physically attack anyone. Doing so will not only nullify your ticket, but the authorities may be involved.

-Always ask for pronouns and kintypes if possible. Even if they may sound silly TO YOU, it’s in your best intentions to make that person comfortable.

-Refrain from talking about sensitive subjects unless you know the person you’re talking too very well or have asked them about what offends or triggers them.

-We all love Dank Memes, but please keep it clean. Avoid using any “Pepe” images involving toilet humor (you know what we mean), profanity or any sensitive subject

-Tumblr is for people aged 13 and over, but keep in mind that access for the con is general admission. As such, please refrain from using profanity.


Panels

-Some panels are age restricted. These will be posted on the event schedule prior to the event. If you wish to visit, please bring ID with you so we can verify your age. Do not attempt to cheat the system.

-Some panels discuss sensitive issues. Please read the descriptions of each panel before attending them

-Do not heckle or harass any member of the panel

-Remain seated unless otherwise instructed

I like the line about being gay but white making you a majority. Yeah, sure pal. I'll feed that line to my various gay white friends.

Beyond a disaster, Seda.
It was the biggest convention trainwreck in years. It reached full-on meme status in less than a day.

ball pit

technically speaking if you're a gay white dude you've still got one majority cultural group (in NA anyway) going for you, so that's not inaccurate, and you should be aware of the privilege inherent, but, like, life's not clean like that yo.

/edit okay, two
 
It was legendary just how much wrong it was

The thread about it is nearly as good: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=854623

As for Last night KLK is starting to ramp up towards the final and I mostly like what is coming. DB is same old. Sao was awful and if what people say is coming are right it is only going to get worse. Naruto was eh, I could never really get into this side of the time skip in the show.

MH is a pretty good show that I was never quite sure why it got sidelined by the community at the time it came out.

By that logic though being male puts you in the supreme minority group.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 112:

Right then, after some world shaking events we are back to formula and it is time to establish the changes to the regular occurrences, such as a new point girl for the Daimon to follow and what we get is Mememte. I will be honest and say Memete is a huge downgrade from either Euidal or Kalonite as her overly bubbly attitude that is prone to easy and petty distractions combined with her obnoxious voice makes for a villain that s hard to take seriously. Anyway, the dynamics of the situation have shifted since the Holy Grail has appeared and now in the possession of Sailor Moon. However since she is having problems using the grail and we got to contrive reasons to extend the hunt, the focus is now finding the Messiah, the one ordained to be able to use the powers of the Holy Grail properly. Also The Outers are still working as independent agents for reasons. Nothing stated but if I had to guess it is because they don't like The Inners very much. Let me see, we also get the the debut of Sailor Pluto's Death Scream Attack, the new final move for Sailor Moon and most importantly Chibi-Usa meeting a new friend named Hotaru. Outside of that this episode was petty generic and forgettable. Mildest recommendation to watch.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 113:i89

Right, anybody who wants to tell me that this season is a jumbled mess of bullshit can go ahead and suffer through Sailor Moon R and kindly walk through the door. This season has been the best of the three so far re-observed and besides every season is a jangled mess of manga material and anime only directions. That leads me me to this episode which is actually adapted from the manga pretty wholesale save the usual monster of the week and anime elements. Still, to add to the jangled mess motif, in the manga all of these scenes we from fairly early in the Infinity Arc while hear they are located at the latter portions of the season. For example the meeting between Endimyion and The Outeers is pretty on point right up until they give the rationale for not working with The Inners. In the manga, well, it is a quite complicated affair tying into the backstory related here and also the tragic and dark action that The Outers feel they must enact. That interplay is one of my favorite parts of Infinity while here it is simplified and altered because of the change in narrative location and structure. As said n the last review it really does come down to The Outers disliking Sailor Moon, which is completely understandable given the Sailor Moon we are talking about here. Less understandable is the perception that The Inners lack the power to stand up to the Death Busters since they should know by now that The Inners are quite capable and since they all have the same goal now, combining powers makes all the much more logical sense especially since they all end up teaming up anyway. Likewise Usagi and Chibi-Usa heading to the Tomoe mansion and unwittingly meeting their arch-enemies is also from the manga and curiously they included the bits with the Silver Crystal, which is an important part of all of the arcs of Sailor Moon manga but has been pretty much forgotten in the S season. I wonder if this will change? Anyway, mildest recommendation to watch.

"The 200 reasons why SAO is the dumbest anime in years"

"Being Popular Doesn't Necessarily Mean It's Good - The SAO Story"

It works a bit better while also tearing down the show, the LNs, and remaining fairly accurate. I mean, there are tons of worse animes out there, but none as popular as SAO.

I could go for weeks on why SAO sucks, we might need a time limit.
