While Unicorn was killing the ratings and also my desire to live, I was on Twitter discovering my newest favorite trend. Smug anime Wendy is something I didn't know I needed.

I wonder if she trolls Ronald-kun.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

NOW I remember where I've heard this old man voice before.

He's Master Zik from Sonic Lost World.

Naruto's dialogue is unusually well directed this week.

Saved.

Kirk Thornton's voice is pretty distinct, and he shows up everywhere it feel like. Several of his roles are mentor type characters, yeah.

 

[ckohler]

Toad oil.... suuuure.

 

[cntr]

naruto's getting stoned

suddenly body horror!

 

[Mizerman]

Yep. Kirk Thornton has a long list in anime and video games.

His old man voice is pretty great. I actually forgot it was Kirk Thorton who did that voice.

Which means he's also Shadow the Hedgehog, Kisame, and Saix from Kingdom Hearts. And Orbot.

 

[Seda]

wow naruto you look cool

 

[Raxus]

Too much pink sage energy is dangerous!

 

[Man God]

Eureka 7!!!!

 

[Schadenfreude]

This arc made me realize how hard it really is to sit completely still. Go ahead and try it, ToonamiGAF. Sit down like you're gonna meditate and try to sit still. You'll feel that you're still slightly moving.

Old Toad: It's all about balance.
Naruto: So it's about balance, huh?

I hate when he does that.

 

[Morlas]

Sounds like fun, for the old toad.

 

[cntr]

"that means I have an excuse to beat you up with a stick"

Old Toad: It's all about balance.
Naruto: So it's about balance, huh?

I hate when he does that.

Sage Gear?!

 

[Hellwarden]

I'm trying to think of other series where being associated with frogs isn't a bad thing.

My Hero Academia has a strong frog character.

 

[Seda]

Old Toad: It's all about balance.
Naruto: So it's about balance, huh?

I hate when he does that.

Pretty common technique to break up dialogue dumps from a single character.

Metal gear??

Sage Gear?!

fuck

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

This place is very purple.

 

[cntr]

My Hero Academia has a strong frog character.

Fun fact: her powers and outfit are based on Toad from X-Men.

 

[Raxus]

I approve beating Naruto with a stick.

 

[Moaradin]

Surprised Naruto even remembered shadow clone training

 

[Mizerman]

Wack-A-Naruto

 

[Raxus]

Child beating is training!

Black eyes build character!

 

[B-Dubs]

Old man frog isn't even pretending the beatings are for training at this point.

 

[cntr]

One of the rare moments in Shippuden where powers are used in a clever way.

...well, at least he tried.

 

[BBboy20]

Wack-A-Naruto

Wack-A-To

My understanding is that this is just how Japanese conversations go, or at least it isn't considered as unusual as it is here.

 

[Korigama]

It's entirely possible to pull that off and make it interesting. See something like Babylon 5. Or for that matter, Ghost in the Shell on the block right now.

SAC's dialogue is far superior to Unicorn all around, yes (part of why I've enjoyed it all of these years).

 

[Grexeno]

"You must be a shonen protagonist."

 

[cntr]

You could say Naruto's experiencing a lot of...pain.

My understanding is that this is just how Japanese conversations go, or at least it isn't considered as unusual as it is here.

This is true.

 

[Raxus]

He is starting to sense nature energy....might as well beat him with a stick anyway *WHACK*

 

[B-Dubs]

So he gets beat, then he has to eat bugs...

 

[Schadenfreude]

Okay that made me laugh.

 

[cntr]

Naruto is the Toad in the Shell

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Those ugly warts are making me itch.

 

[Hellwarden]

This is weird, because Naruto never really gains any toad powers...

 

[cntr]

oh naruto

 

[Morlas]

Terry Crews for doomfist....also naruto gets too many powers.

 

[Hellwarden]

Now I feel like Prey is gonna bomb, but Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is the best selling game of the year so far.

So clearly I don't know what is gonna sell.

Don't use GAF as a barometer for the larger market.

 

[cntr]

sage mode naruto looks doofier than i remember

edit: ok they definitely screwed up how he looks in the anime

 

[Grexeno]

"But I only eat books."

 

[Man God]

Book of non Canon fun times.

 

[B-Dubs]

Time for pervy sage's debut novel!

 

[Mizerman]

Book of non Canon fun times.

That's where you draw your strength from!

 

[cntr]

that mook's voice acting was so bad

 

[Seda]

Junpei ninja got schooled

 

[ckohler]

Bishonen Naruto?
