Guys, you made a mistake on the ToonamiGaf podcast.

You said Mamoru Oshii made Ghost In The Shell. This is technically incorrect. He DIRECTED the GitS movie from 1995. The actual person who created GitS was Masamune Shirow, who also did Appleseed & the concept of Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn, or Kōkaku no Pandora.

 

[Raxus]

Huzzah I am not to blame for a mistake for once!

Damn it.

Big test in an hour wish me luck guys.

 

[Akainu]

Im not implying it isnt a problem, but saying they're trying to make her look white and whitewash her are silly when it's clearly a japanese product and she is clearly meant to therefore look more japanese.

claiming she's whitewashed or made to be whiter makes you look silly tbh.

You're a idiot.

 

[BBboy20]

Wait, this is the new Berserk? wow

(I know nothing about Berserk)

You know you fucked up when Star Fox Zero, which intentionally does such rigged mouth flaps, does a better job then ...this.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Berserk should have had a series of OVAs like Hellsing Ultimate to adapt the post-Golden Age stuff.

Not this CG-ridden, appalling mess.

 

[Htown]

Wait, this is the new Berserk? wow

(I know nothing about Berserk)

wait, this is from the anime?

not like, a cheap cutscene from the upcoming video game?

All it needs is text bubbles at the bottom to complete the illusion.

Do a barrel roll Guts!

Hah, my first thought was that it resembled a budget cutscenes from like a 90s adventure game.

That feel when you see Berserk's first episode:

Time to commit honorable bunny seppuku

 

[Jarate]

Why does it look like CGI you'd find in a catholic dollar store DVD? I ain't touching that new Berserk

You're a idiot.

Thanks bro

 

[MetatronM]

It'd end up being somewhere around the

end of the Usopp fight to the Pirates docking stuff

Now whether or not you even bother with a Halloween Marathon when its on a Monday this year I don't know.

But

Spoiler

Straw Hat Docking is right in the middle of the Oars fight, so like half the marathon would be Straw Hats vs. Oars if they chose to do it there.

That said, I don't see why there would be a Halloween marathon. There usually isn't even a marathon in years where Halloween actually falls on Saturday.

If there aren't any other marathons in 2016 other than Labor Day, we would end the year with the final "fighting" episode of Thriller Bark. That's pretty unlikely, though, since Christmas Eve and New Years Eve are both on Saturday this year. There's a pretty decent chance we'll at least

defeat Moriah, though

[Jarate]

I forgot to ask, but what time is OPM debuting at?

 

[BatDan]

I forgot to ask, but what time is OPM debuting at?

Midnight EST, 11 PM CST.

This is the likely schedule:
DBZ Kai
One-Punch Man
Gundam: IBO
Hunter x Hunter
Naruto Shippuden
One Piece
Parasyte (repeats)

 

[Jarate]

also, when did bigkrev get banned?

anyone know when he'll be back?

 

[Regiruler]

I never noticed the title for the shippuden card was different. What does it say?

 

[Puruzi]

You're a idiot.

lol?

 

[Raxus]

anyone know when he'll be back?

Gosh, last week? And yes.

 

[Man God]

Bring Bleach Back.

 

[Jarate]

Gosh, last week? And yes.

Ive gone really ham into the NBA free agency so my toonami knowledge has fallen off a cliff

[Hellwarden]

HxH looks like it's been a pretty big success so far. Seems to do well rating wise, fans like it, is pretty consistent quality wise.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

HxH never really got a legit chance at success in the West until 2011.

Very good.

 

[B-Dubs]

With any luck viewers will stick around until York New and see what the series really looks like tonally.

 

[Soulflarz]

York New = New York?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Numbers are much better than I was expecting for a marathon on 4th of July. Glad to see HxH continuing to do so well

 

[BatDan]

HxH never really got a legit chance at success in the West until 2011.

Pretty much.
Manga was always a niche thing so that wouldn't have taken off.
The 1999 series didn't get an official release until 2008 (the fuck?) and I heard Viz edited parts of the series (though I can't confirm this). I can confirm that the dub was kind of weak.
The OVAs that followed were never released at all, probably too late at that point. At least the 2011 series covers those (and more)

 

[Grexeno]

You'd never believe how long we talked about nothing but news on Episode #14 of the ToonamiGAF Podcast!

 

[SigmasonicX]

York New = New York?

The Japanese name for the city was York Shin. Shin means "new", so York New.

 

[Man God]

York New = New York?

Yes that's what he was going for.

 

[Zonic]

Maybe they'll visit City Lake Salt afterwards.

 

[Jarate]

In the filler arc they go to Jersey New

 

[Zonic]

As opposed to Jersey Used?

 

[Line_HTX]

Talking and commenting about Toonami news and slight tangents are sometimes more riveting than the block!

;P

Has GAF been running really slowly recently for anyone else?

It's been running fine on my end.

 

[Zonic]

Been fine for me, from what I've noticed.

 

[Jarate]

make sure youve properly installed Banzai Buddy for the ultimate internet viewing!

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Gaf has been running fine for me.

 

[BassForever]

Sounds like you've been infected with Radical 6, rip

 

[Seda]

GAF has been fine for me but there's definitely been a couple threads since June-ish where others have mentioned similar issues with loading and such.

One Punch Man ain't shit compared to Kakashi Chronicles.

 

[Seda]

Kinda funny with the marathon and One Punch Man announcements and soon incoming Samurai Jack info, I almost forgot that I'm quite looking forward to the Samurai Champloo finale this Saturday.

 

[Grexeno]

Seda we need a One Punch Man image for the OP.

EDIT: oh, nevermind

 

[BatDan]

One Punch Man ain't shit compared to Kakashi Chronicles.

Oh shit, it's the Kakashi Gaiden. One of the few highlights of the post-timeskip manga.

Spoiler

I should be kinder to Naruto. In light of Bleach ending really damn soon with so many lingering plots, at least Naruto wrapped up kind of decently. The last arc took way too damn long and the distant finale suffered from Harry Potter's "pair everyone even if it doesn't make sense" ending, it at least wrapped up in a somewhat satisfying way. Where as Bleach is going to rush into its ending like a freight train into a massive brick wall

 

[Mizerman]

10 Days.

Soon...

 

[Raxus]

Still sad we don't have a new title to bid farewell to Samurai Champloo.
