It was fun you guys. I am headed to bed. Reviews tomorrow.

 

[Line_HTX]

but FLCL tho

That's a six episode OVA, not a full fledged TV series.

At least FLCL was coherent. Most 12 ep anime just don't cut it.

 

[Zonic]

Rewatching this as a group, first half is still fun to watch, but kind of goes down hill during the second half, though the last few episodes picked back up.

[ramoisdead]

Ugh Boondocks. Well nite ToonamiGAF. Will be here for the SAO2 premiere.

 

[That Dude John]

If you liked the anime and want an ending, yes.

If you liked what you saw in the anime yes, but start over from the beginning as characters and some major plot details are dropped that are important later.

Coolio. I'll get on that. I liked it well enough.

 

[Akainu]

1:00 - Sword Art Online II - 1 - World of Guns
Later.

In this world of guns does he still use a sword?

 

[SAB CA]

LATER.

 

[Puruzi]

Everyone needs to watch Kittan Zero, it's excellent.

 

[Man God]

And i love how he ignores the fact that shiro knows a song his mother wrote.
like ganta isnt that a bit weird?????

Ganta gets hit in the head a lot this episode.

 

[Line_HTX]

In this world of guns does he still use a sword?

Listen to the song Duel of the Fates and you'll get your answer. =D

 

[Man God]

LATER.

HAHA, I LOVE IT MAGGLE.

 

[ckohler]

Everyone needs to watch Kittan Zero, it's excellent.

Yup, it is but "All You Bastards, Get Fired Up!" can't be missed. It's the only cannon one. It shows Lord Genome's past.

I love the little details like the fact that as a kid, he looked like Nia. Also, he had pets like the four generals. He even has Guam on his shoulder like Simon has Boota!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Obama kinda deserved to be dickrided tbh

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Toonami was excellent tonight. Til next time, guys.

 

[foxuzamaki]

In this world of guns does he still use a sword?

Are their guns as cool as sharla's from xenoblade

 

[Man God]

Even shows not based on previous works love to spoil shit with their titles and previews.

 

[zedreamcast]

Even shows not based on previous works love to spoil shit with their titles and previews.

But come on everyone wouldve been 10x more hyped if they saw that preview.

 

[Man God]

But come on everyone wouldve been 10x more hyped if they saw that preview.

You'd think that, and I even posted it THIS TIME LAST WEEK but Sir Crocodile told me not to spoil people with it.

 

[zedreamcast]

You'd think that, and I even posted it THIS TIME LAST WEEK but Sir Crocodile told me not to spoil people with it.

I dont remember if I saw this with the Next Time but I still loved it to pieces and its still my favorite anime ever.
I CAN MOST OF THE FINAL TWO EPISODES BY HEART AND CAN ACTUALLY THE JAPANESE SONG SORAIO DAYS FUCK I LOVE THIS ANIME!!!!

Also theres also a manga version of gurren where everyone is are japanese school kids everyone should go read it, its fantastic.

I also love that fucking line "To tell it in full would take till after sun rise." FUCK THIS ANIME IS SO AMAZING!!!

 

[Man God]

The problem with giffing TTGL this week is that I'd have to do all of it for great scenes and none of it for the KlK celebration. Instead I'll do the 20 or so reaction gifs from DBZ KAI and of course...

 

[zedreamcast]

oh shit this is hype

 

[Takashi]

Everyone needs to watch Kittan Zero, it's excellent.

Yup, it is but "All You Bastards, Get Fired Up!" can't be missed. It's the only cannon one. It shows Lord Genome's past.

I love the little details like the fact that as a kid, he looked like Nia. Also, he had pets like the four generals. He even has Guam on his shoulder like Simon has Boota!

Just watched these two and they were awesome. I'm gonna have to watch the rest tomorrow. Thanks for posting these btw.

 

[foxuzamaki]

oh shit this is hype

Hype as fuck.

 

[Man God]

Bedtime. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get part one of Extra Edition up.

 

[Line_HTX]

Ok, let's see what's so special about this episode, since a lot of you were saying this was based...

Stuffed eating. They want to peek. She's not that good looking. Satsuki is better anyways.
Knife Throwing Club. Weirdo clubs. Weirdo clubs everywhere.
Let's start a Fight Club.
The Shiny Light of the dominant Queen Satsuki. O///O
Activity log every Friday. Budget requests and council club meetings every morning.
NO TARDIES!!
Folk Dance club. Determined Mako face CLOSEUP.
This time it's made with REAL beef and pork. aaaAAAaaa
"Get rid of your broken wings." And they're peeking again.
Oh yeah, request to raise the budget by an astronomical amount.

Hardline commercial with Mastodon music like Hellsing Ultimate bumps??

Holy shiet, upgraded to a full rich mansion.
One versus hundreds in an all out brawl!
Parents are so drunk. Why the fuck are they sticking Champagne like it's a penis and dry humping the air lol
BUY ALL THE GODIVA CHOCOLATE.
Satsuki has a grand plan for Mako. It's like they're LIKE COFFEE CREAM!
Mako doing the ojou-sama laugh. OHHH-HOHOHOHOHOHO~
Nice uniform there. Now I know where that picture people use is from with that toothpick.
[Halo announcer] "Betrayed... BETRAYAL!"
Tip a 40 to your memory. Wow, really, Mako's mom?
YOU ARE PIGS IN HUMAN CLOTHING!
I'd like to be a slave to Lady Satsuki for a day. O////O
MAKO... HYAKURETSU... KEN!
Crying a river. Damn, making that sacrifice just to go back to the way things were before.
LEWD MAKO and her big PLOT and BACKSTORY.
Family dinners like normal once again.

Good episode, but honestly, I don't see what was so special about this one. You people made it sound like it was Gurren Lagann tier of awesome hype tears. At least there was nothing dumb like a copout. If anything, this episode was just normal. Damn Internet overhyping nothing... [Shrugs]

INUYASHA PUT ME TO SLEEP AND I DIDN'T SEE THE GL AND DMWL FINALES


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

INUYASHA PUT ME TO SLEEP AND I DIDN'T SEE THE GL AND DMWL FINALES


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[BBboy20]

Yep...
Anyone know if it's as tone deaf as we all feared?

Maybe not. Apparently you only be a cop for 3 levels before going Battlefield/another revenge tale/take on fake Rush Limbaugh in a tank/crazy Michael Bay shinagans/really stupid comedy written by a dude who survived covering Middle-Eastern conflicts and beaten his own coke addiction (with a fellow writer who's recent work is Gears of War: Judgement.........................).

God damn it Demarco don't ruin Death Grips by putting it with SAO.

WHA!?

It's the ultimate in nerd pandering.
"Your gaming skills are so leet, the government needs you"

It's even worst when those with good taste thinks this is legit entertainment.

Horribly wasted Travis Willingham.

Just like acting in Battlefield: Hardline? >=D (seriously, it seems like the Baker/Willingham/Bailey Trifecta seems to be the only time he's in some good shit).

Metal... Gear?/nakedsnake

METAL GEAR!/solidsnake

metal gear

;_;/otacon

... oh .../naomi

This whole segment was cut out on Syfy.

O_O Wow.

It’s been fun sharing these. Here’s a gallery of the eye catches.

I don't know if I said this before but just to make sure: I've been using these as my wallpapers thanks to Windows 7' slideshow desktop option. Now the collection is complete.

Great episode. Preview was probably a mistake like last time. :[

I don't recall him being in this final episode.

1:00 - Sword Art Online II - 1 - World of Guns

So, why is this show called SAO again?

See ya next week, ToonamiGAF. Prepare yourselves for SAOpcalypse.

I haven't touched my remaining Brandy since announcement.

Hardline commercial with Mastodon music like Hellsing Ultimate bumps??

Yes.

So, see that a whole lot of you were highly entertained by GL. Glad to see it's legacy live on. B)

 

[BatDan]

Gooooooood morning everyone.
Pretty hype night (mostly)

Dragon Ball Z Kai:
Vegeta is finally defeated! But Krillin is coming in for the "Kill-in" *runs*
How convenient that Gohan's tail grew back right there.

Kill la Kill:
This student-based class system is bullshit. But it shows how easy greed corrupts the lower class when they get a taste of that power. All part of Satsuki's plan.
The battle between Ryuko and Mako was pretty awesome though

Shipp- DON'T CARE

Inuyasha: The Final Act:
Tessaiga gets its final form! It finally feels like we're reaching endgame. Granted there's still 11 episodes left so who knows what will happen.

One Piece:
As you can see, Monster Chopper is broken as fuck. But it has a multitude of drawbacks, like Chopper being unable to control himself. There's another big one that will be revealed soon
Also, a fan-servicy battle begins! Apparently, Kalifa being a "bubble woman" is an innuendo in Japan. Moreso than usual at least.

Deadman Wonderland:
I didn't watch it as I saw it before, but now that it's over, I can say that reading the manga is now an option. I suggest starting from the beginning as there are characters that weren't included in the anime. Like an old man that believes his daughter is talking to him, and a cross-dresser right out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN!

Now THAT is how you do a finale!
Overall, TTGL is an experience. While its highs are amazing, it suffers plenty of lows. Like the bad animation in Episode 4, the recap episodes, the politics arc where Rossiu is a complete moron. At least the final few episodes are badass.
Plus, I'm glad it didn't really suffer a notorious Gainax Ending. Sure, Nia fading away sucked, but it wasn't anything as baffling as "CONGRATULATIONS"
The dub actors did a good job too. Yuri Lowenthal did an excellent job as Simon, and Steve Blum stole the show as Leeron.
If only the movies could get dubbed...

Maybe not. Apparently you only be a cop for 3 levels before going Battlefield/another revenge tale/take on fake Rush Limbaugh in a tank/crazy Michael Bay shinagans/really stupid comedy written by a dude who survived covering Middle-Eastern conflicts and beaten his own coke addiction (with a fellow writer who's recent work is Gears of War: Judgement.........................).

It's even worst when those with good taste thinks this is legit entertainment.

So, why is this show called SAO again?

I can't tell if that story is amazing or astonishingly stupid.

There's a reason people call SAO the "Twilight of anime".

As for it's still called SAO despite the original game being long gone... Artifact Title

 

[BatDan]

Oops, I screwed up.

 

[Zonic]

Apparently, Kalifa being a "bubble woman" is an innuendo in Japan. Moreso than usual at least.

Oh..OOHHH....OOOOHHHHHH.

I just totally got that & I think you might be right.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Food for thought:

The speed it took Lagann, Arc-Gurren Lagann, and Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann to go from the inside of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to the anti-spiral homeworld would have to be billions of times faster than light.

But it's a parallel super-spiral universe, so fuck physics.

 

[Regiruler]

So wait, was the

Spoiler

fistfight with the anti-spiral

movie 2 only?

 

[Zonic]

So now that you've seen it in the show itself, I can show you one of the few figurines I would love to have.

Too bad only about 300 were made & each one cost $400....

So wait, was the

Spoiler

fistfight with the anti-spiral

movie 2 only?

Yup. I keep forgetting it's only in the movie as well & not the show.

 

[Puruzi]

So wait, was the

Spoiler

fistfight with the anti-spiral

movie 2 only?

Yes.

 

[BassForever]

I guess I'll just watch the fight in the film later today to see what they added

 

[Imperial Bishop]

So wait, was the

Spoiler

fistfight with the anti-spiral

movie 2 only?

Not dubbing the movies was Aniplex's second biggest mistake.

The number one biggest mistake was re-releasing GL in a premium collection for almost $700.

 

[BBboy20]

There's a reason people call SAO the "Twilight of anime".

But even those with taste hate Twilight.....I mean, this is like the closest thing to living in a world of bodysnacthers. It's crazy how people I've trusted over the years and are very well-minded don't see the obvious flaws this show has. =/

As for it's still called SAO despite the original game being long gone... Artifact Title

I need to escape!

 

[BassForever]

SAO isn't just about the game itself, every subsequent arc does tie back to the original death game in some way minus the

Spoiler

Calibur arc in s2

.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

 

[Gorillaz]

Haven't seen SAO passed like 10 episodes. Just couldn't do it. However, I WILL be here for this

I want to see virtual bullets

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

LATER.

I don't give you enough credit for those color sketch dumps. Great job!
That Vegeta face is killing me
Oh shit Inuyasha is a sayian!
This sketch dump was bought to you by CP9 Soap: the scent of Kalifa!

 

[lazybones18]

I don't blame him. Episode was pretty boring

 

[Imperial Bishop]

When you break your toys and get bored.

 

[Puruzi]

I don't blame him. Episode was pretty boring

I don't watch it or naruto, I just take an hour break and use the internet or something. It was more towards him missing Gurren

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

I see everyone enjoyed the finale of Gurren Lagann. ._.

Starting next week, One Piece won't be at 8:30 anymore. I guess the ratings weren't that good.

 

[Grexeno]

I see everyone enjoyed the finale of Gurren Lagann. ._.

Starting next week, One Piece won't be at 8:30 anymore. I guess the ratings weren't that good.

I'm shocked that ratings weren't that good for Boss Luffy


SHOCKED

 

[Zonic]

I see everyone enjoyed the finale of Gurren Lagann. ._.

Starting next week, One Piece won't be at 8:30 anymore. I guess the ratings weren't that good.

Considering 2 of the 3 episodes that were shown were filler, I wouldn't be surprised if poor ratings were the reason. & of course, JUST as it goes back to freakin' canon.

 

[Grexeno]

Considering 2 of the 3 episodes that were shown were filler, I wouldn't be surprised if poor ratings were the reason. & of course, JUST as it goes back to freakin' canon.

But guys, there is no such thing as filler.
