Next week

TIL you can't quote post in closed threads.

Thanks mate. Glad I didn't miss the end of Enies Lobby but kinda sad I missed Gear 2nd reveal and "I wanna live" even if I don't really like the OP anime it does the important moments pretty well

Uh okay I know sometimes there's leniency with gaming talk but this splatoon chatter is probably best suited elsewhere

If it gets to where you guys are just holding a conversation then the official Splatoon thread is still bustling. I love that a new Nintendo IP is taking off so well but I am with Seda, it derails the thread. Nice in small amounts though.

Spoiler

Speaking of nice in a small amount, Fallout 4. Now in color!

Seda check the PM's!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Yes, please keep the Splatoon chatter to twitter or that thread.


Moving on, I haven't watched Shippuden in months...are we still in filler or can I pay attention again?

 

[daveo42]

I'm mostly fine with it since it's nice to see people excited about a game that I'm not playing, especially if it's a game I'm interesting in but don't have the time to really play.

3 more weeks I think and then we snap back into canon with the Immortals arc for some time.

It's a community thread. An off-topic community thread, no less.

It's a community thread. An off-topic community thread, no less.

not sure if I am interpreting this incorrectly but community threads dedicated to something other than a game or franchise (so basically anything in off-topic community) aren't meant to be substitute chatrooms for whatever that community wants to talk about. They should stay on topic just like any other thread on the forum.

Yes, some commentary on games is fine, but liveplay chitchat does not belong here.

Yes sometimes other communities might get away with a more significant amount of off-topic chatter if mods aren't actively checking them, but that doesn't excuse it. Football GAF had to be closed temporarily because of this. SuperBestFriends (which is a gaming podcast even) was warned of a thread closure.

Is it worth my time to catch-up or should I just not even bother

Hello ToonamiGAF. I'm excited for Michiko and Hatchin because despite liking it, I never ended up finishing it. I had pretty much completely forgotten about it until it was announced to come to Toonami. I used to watch Toonami on Saturdays from the time it was an April Fools joke to when it started up for real but kept passing out at Thundercats (whenever that was airing, sometime last year or the year before?) so I eventually stopped, although when Space Dandy was airing I did watch it and post here sometimes. I see the schedule has downsized and Bleach/OG Naruto is gone, which will probably help.

I always liked the idea of Toonami coming back but I had seen pretty much every show/read the manga of nearly everything on the block, I guess that hasn't changed much, but I think the community is pretty cool here. Here's just my experience with the shows on the block/coming onto the block:

Dragon Ball Kai - Read all of Dragon Ball, watched Dragon Ball/DBZ/GT
Kill la Kill - Watched it all
SAO II - Watched all but the last four or so episodes so I guess I can finish that now
InuYasha Final Act - Never watched
Shippuuden - Read the manga all the way
One Piece - Up to current on the manga
Attack on Titan - Watched the whole show, up to current on the manga
Akame ga Kill - Watched most of the show until filler, up to current on the manga

So I'm a big nerd. I also love shonen trash so woohoo. Oh, and what episodes are you guys on? I hope I didn't miss the end of Enies Lobby.

Welcome back! If you haven't seen Kai, then it's a little different. Mostly condensed for the better from what I hear. Be warned that SAO and SAO II are pretty much despised here. It's mostly a hate-watch. InuYasha is only a couple of episodes until the end. Shippuden is in filler hell at the moment and One Piece is a filler episode this weekend.

Attack on Titan is in reruns at the end of the block so most of us drop out at that point. I've not seen Akame ga Kill or Michiko and Hatchin myself so I'm excited for both.

Ah, alright. Thanks for the explanation.

Well SAO is pretty bad so that makes sense

Do you care about Naruto? Catch up.
If you don't care about Naruto, don't.
I stopped caring about Naruto a long time ago

 

[Seda]

Ah, alright. Thanks for the explanation.

I know people would rather chat with people they are acquainted with rather than a general forum populace, but that's what twitter/irc/line(?) are for.

The overall neogaf idea is to keep topics mostly structured so that anybody can enter any thread with the content of the thread basically being what the topic of the thread advertises.

 

[BassForever]

We could always do a splatoonami gaf irc or chat room for any nights we all want to hang out and play the game without cluttering up this thread or the official thread

 

[ckohler]

Well SAO is pretty bad so that makes sense

Yeah, its plot is full of holes; which wouldn't be a big deal if it was more light-hearted but instead it wants to be seen as a serious drama.

 

[Jarate]

I'll start a group me for splatoonami Seda and I'll only spam messages that are relevant

This is the Splatoonami spreadsheet for people to sign up with

I also started a Groupme chat, which is a very nice "group chat" website and app. I'll need your guys emails or phone numbers to send you invites, I sent everyone on Splatoonami spreadsheet a PM though. If I skipped you somehow, please send me one too!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I'll just leave this here.

Naruto just defeated a wig.

Naruto contemplates life while being kissed by a wig.

 

[Man God]

I liked the hair reveal, too bad the animation took a dump.

 

[Zonic]

So I just saw what Vegeta & Krillin look like at the beginning of DB GT.......

 

[Man God]

Freddie Mercury Vegeta is the best.

Just ordered Fallout 3. Why.

Should've got New Vegas!

Or not because then you would expect more!

 

[Grexeno]

I put ungodly amounts of hours into Skyrim so I'm sure I'll be fine.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I like Fallout 3 more than New Vegas because the capitol wasteland is more fun to explore in my opinion. Both games are great though; two of my favorites from the last generation.

 

[bigkrev]

I played like 10 hours of Fallout 3 and generally enjoyed it, but found the violence a bit too much for my tastes and put it down. I would have bought New Vegas if it was actually playable on PS3, but it's a Bethesda game, so that is clearly wishful thinking

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Always surprised when people say that and give the edge to Fallout 3 tbh. New Vegas does nearly everything better, even if you like the map layout/exploration in 3 more.

Same here. Yes, overall New Vegas does the character better. But there's something fun about being given a wasteland and essentially being told you can go where-ever, rather than being railroaded into the same path every play-through.

All that Dragonball series talk reminds me I should get back to watching Dragonball. I'm somewhere early-ish into the Red Ribbon arc.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Fallout 3 was my first in the series so there might be some bias there on my part but I'm a huge American history buff so being able to explore the ruins of D.C. was like nirvana to me. I'm not big on DLC but this was the first game that convinced me to actually shell out cash for post game content because the stand alone stories for Operation Anchorage, Mothership Zeta, Broken Steel, etc were so compelling. I can't think of a single memorable character from New Vegas but Three Dog's radio broadcasts still seem fresh in my mind 6 years after I completed the game...

Like I said before, both are good games and you really can't go wrong here, but I give the edge to 3.

 

[Jarate]

Or be smart and get both 3 and new vegas and play Tale of Two Wastelands

 

[Schadenfreude]

Dont get banned for Splatoon, guys. It's not worth it.

 

[Raxus]

Dragon Ball Super needs to bring back the mustache

That costs money to animate. THE MUSTACHE DIES! Toei has spoken.

 

[Line_HTX]

Vegeta Mercury better come back. That stache better be canon.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Speaking of Vegeta, DBZ last weekend was friggin' awesome

 

[Raxus]

Pretty sure most of DBZ is going to be memorable from here on out.

 

[Man God]

There's actually a couple of really slow episodes in the next ten or so.

 

[Levyne]

I might have to rebuy and replay 3 and New Vegas

 

[Zonic]

More like....Falls Outside....My Radar.....or something, I don't know.....

Also jeez, I'm SERIOUSLY behind on S2 of Fate/Stay Night. I still haven't even started watching it, despite watching the previous season. For some reason, it's hard to motivate myself to watch it, even though I don't dislike the series or anything. Maybe it's the fact I have to read the subs for the plot instead of hearing it, which doesn't work for a plot-heavy series like F/SN compared to, say, Assassination Classroom or Jojo which are much easier to follow.

 

[Soulflarz]

Summer sale is soon, just wait

Eh, I read the entire visual novel and it works really well as a VN, especially reading Shirou's inner monologues which drive a lot of his character motivations. I'd definitely be interested in a dub of it if its even nearly as good as Fate/Zero

Spoiler

Fate/Zero for Toonami after Sword Art please.

 

[Man God]

Damn if only there was some loophole that I could use to get around Seda's perfectly reasonable prohibition on Splatoon chatter in this thread, that would be Inkredible.

Dragon Ball Super TV Anime Debuts on July 5 in Japan

This year's 28th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing on Monday that the Dragon Ball Super television anime will premiere in Japan on July 5. The broadcast of the Dragon Ball Kai series will end before then.

Dragon Ball Super will premiere on Fuji TV and other channels on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired from 1996 to 1997. The story of the anime is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again.

Toriyama is credited as the original creator, as well as for "original story & character concepts." Toei Animation's Kimitoshi Chioka (Hakaba Kitarō, Kamisama Kazoku) is the series director, and Naoko Sagawa (Yomiko Advertising, Inc.) and Atsushi Kido (Toei Animation) join Osamu Nozaki as producers. Kido entered Toei just as the company was animating the Dragon Ball Z anime's Frieza arc. Masako Nozawa, the voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, is returning for the series.

Kazuya Yoshii will perform the opening theme "Chōzetsu☆Dynamic" (Excellent Dynamic) and rock band Good Morning America will perform the ending theme "Hello Hello Hello."
