[HStallion]

Blinky is one of the best Nen powers lol

 

[cntr]

I <3 Blinky

 

[YoodiHoshi]

As I said Shizuku and Blinky are a great aesthetic

 

[cntr]

oh yeah

since badness seems to appeal to you guys, the trailer for the next Berserk season came out

At least we can wash the bad taste out of our mouths with a new episode of the manga.

 

[Hellwarden]

Clang with all your heart and soul, Toonami-gaf.

CLANG

I also have to wonder how these shows are tracking through streaming services like Direct TV Now, Sling, and PS Vue?

None. Nielsen extrapolates from viewers who specifically have a box installed in their home. I believe it then extrapolates those numbers to the total number of people watching during a given time period. The numbers can be a lot different, but the rankings of said shows (which was 1st, 2nd, etc, is pretty reliable). I think they incorporate some stuff like TiVo, but not SlingTV or anything.

That's just my knowledge of it though.

 

[gamerguy2002]

Catching up on the last bit of One Piece toonami aired.

Did Zoro really just give up the powerful sword the zombie samurai just gave to him to take care of?!

Also I like Luffy's reaction to being told is brother was in mortal danger, "Nah fuck him hes fine he doesn't need saving". bet hes gonna regret that later on.

 

[cntr]

Did Zoro really just give up the powerful sword the zombie samurai just gave to him to take care of?!

Wait, when did that happen?

 

[Zonic]

Wait, when did that happen?

When he visited that grave for Brook's crew, I think?

 

[Grexeno]

Zoro did not leave the sword.

 

[cntr]

Oh, that was the cursed the other sword he got back in Loguetown. It got destroyed by a marine with the Rust Rust Fruit as they were escaping from Enies Lobby, and Zoro's replacing it with the one he got from Ryuma.

 

[Man God]

Dead sword.

 

[Seda]

Are zoro's swords important at all? Like does it matter that he broke one and got it replaced

 

[Moaradin]

Not really

 

[Shard]

I might be a little concerned about Jojo. Just a little bit.

Then again, everything seems down lately.

Jojo retained its time slot twice, it is doing just fine.

 

[BassForever]

Are zoro's swords important at all? Like does it matter that he broke one and got it replaced

Knowing Oda it might be one day but as of now the sword that was destroyed was the least significant of the 3 he uses.

 

[JadedWriter]

Just read the reactions to last weeks HxH ep...next week...lol. Also Shizuku and Blinky are a great combo.

 

[Man God]

Are zoro's swords important at all? Like does it matter that he broke one and got it replaced

One Sword is an heirloom of his deceased rival Kuina, who looked a lot like Tashigi and wanted to be the world's best with a sword.

The next sword was a cursed blade held by a sword salesman in Lougetown which chose Zoro as it's owner.

The third sword was Ryoma's.

 

[cntr]

They've been hinted as being important, but nothing major's come of it yet.

Duke Togo give his own take on why One Piece has never taken off in America.

[cntr]

I feel like the look and length is tied into the 4Kids issue too. If Funimation had it back when anime was getting popular, the style would be something people could get used to and accept. And there'd be a chance for them to catch the plot back when it was simple and easier to pick up.

But that didn't happen, so.

I can confirm I don't watch One Piece for the last two noted reasons. Art style is a turn off for me, which I could get beyond, but I don't have time for it's abyss like ep count with filler mixed into canon so I can't even use a filler guide.

 

[cntr]

when are you finishing Jojo and starting MHA btw

 

[JadedWriter]

when are you finishing Jojo and starting MHA btw

No clue at all. I'm busy at work and I have my Jojo scans stored on there so I haven't been reading anything lately. I should just put them on my laptop at home already, though Is the Part 5 translation done yet?

 

[cntr]

not yet.

 

[JadedWriter]

God dang it!!!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

So there's a small glimmer of hope that Netflix's Death Note might not be trash.

At least Ryuk will be great, you just can't top Dafoe in the creepy department.

 

[Hellwarden]

I have more faith in it than the GITS film, for what that's worth.

It's basically what we've all said previously. Most of it winds up coming back to 4kids killing it in the womb over here.

Yeah, I could understand that the art style might people turn off. Though 4Kids did not help matters by doing a half assed (at best) job at handling the dub. And seeing as how it was introduced at the height of 4Kids' power, that perception harmed OP.

 

[Line_HTX]

Reasons 2 and more so 3 are a definite for me. I simply don't have the time to even try and catch up to what's good and what's not.

Besides, there have been episodes where I get frustrated at the pacing to where I just don't care anymore..

 

[Morlas]

It doesn't help that the butchered version was aired on the biggest platform for anime in america at the time, though I imagine they were big fans of the japanese version and didn't expect the 4 kids version to be as bad as it was.

 

[zulux21]

to be fair I avoided one piece for a while because I didn't care to watch a show about a swimsuit.

I haven't a clue where that came from, but since I didn't have good access to internet I couldn't waste what resources I had on a show about the ultimate swimsuit.

when I had better internet a bit later and someone pointed out it was about pirates I quickly binged all 125 eps or so that were out at the time. Been watching it even since.


also I wish I was joking, but 2004 was a different time for anime lol.

 

[Line_HTX]

I have more faith in it than the GITS film, for what that's worth.

Batou looking so weird in reality is bad enough, but if I find one stupid Steve Aoki dubstep in this movie...

 

[cntr]

tbh, I thought as a kid that people complaining about the One Piece (manga) artstyle were weird.

Spoiler

and I still do

 

[Line_HTX]

But that One Piece rap was good, right?

TriHard

 

[Mizerman]

It'll would've been funny if they kept the rap for when Franky and Brook joined the crew. Then again, I don't wanna imagine...

 

[Megalosaro]

Sunrise just announced Mobile Suit Gundam : Twilight Axis is getting an anime ver.

Takes place in UC 0096, a few months after Unicorn ends. From what I hear, it ties up the end of Unicorn to Gundam F91.

Main MS is called the Tristan. It's the successor to the Alex from Gundam 0080.

I wonder if Toonami will eventually air this.

I wonder if Sunrise will finally remake F91 into a full fledged series?

Probably not for a while.

 

[Megalosaro]

That world be cool. But the animation from the movie was so good.

Still f91 is good, but a mess. I would want eternal wind to come back

 

[cntr]

They should get around to making an anime for Crossbone Gundam, by the way. And air that on Toonami.

It's Universal Century Gundam without politics, but with SPACE PIRATES. Literally! They even have a pirate Gundam!

ToonamiGAF would probably fall asleep on it.

Same. The art is part of the charm.
And I've seen waaaaay worse. Rob Liefeld, Greg Land, panels from gross yaoi comics,

Jojo.

 

[cntr]

araki's come a long way

Even towards the end of Part 1 it got way better, it's not even bad if you marathon that and well...just used to Jojo posing a bit.

Still can't believe Jonathan is supposed to be 12 there lol
