To be fair it wasn't the dub bitching it was the insult of other users that probably got them banned. Saying "I don't like dubs and think subs are always superior" is fine, saying "if you like dubs I lose my respect for you" or "if you like this dub you should go kill yourself" you're not gonna last long on any message board let alone neogaf

I've always wondered who ran the NeoGaf twitter accounts. Is it more than one person?

Pete Carroll Owns Me
I don't think he came off as that big of an asshole at all. I got more of an asshole vibe from the original version.

Jean comes off more as a realist like "you wanna go fight the titans are you crazy train up to be the best so you can get into the military police and get away from the titans"
The only part of him that is salty is his obvious crush on Mikasa and the fact he and all other guys in the series are instantly on the loser path as Mikasa'sbrother childhood friend is the only guy she is interested in
Plus Eren insulted him and called him a weakling/coward first so when Eren was failing Jean was justified in his smug dismissal

Samurai Jack put me into a dream fugue last night. I was there...I absorbed Jack and Clone Wars, and watched all of SBT in a more normal state, but I sure as shit didn't post much.
One Piece
Space Dandy
Black Lagoon
Naruto
FMA:B
Blue Exorcist
Attack on Titan
Bleach
Naruto Shippuden
Samurai Jack
Star Wars: Clone Wars
Symbionic Titan

Nothing was bad tonight at all, not even Shiny Shiny. The tippy top was only the first three this time, but the rest of the shows down to Bleach were really quite pleasant and the ones below were somewhere between pretty good and ok.

Good day everyone.
I'm glad AoT dialed it back a little bit. Though with what people have been saying it could be the only episode like that. I'm with Meta in that I'm still not solid having a name for every face at the moment, a lot were introduced. Black Lagoon is really great, I'm not often very disappointed that I have to wait a week for another episode but I do feel that slightly here. I'm also kind of surprised that so many people here haven't seemingly seen it, relative to the other shows. It gives the thread a different vibe. Looking forward to that experience when Dandy S2 shows up as well, obviously. Bleach is actually in a better place right now. I can't nail the reasons why but I'm enjoying it a lot more. I think I just enjoy the characters present in these episodes a lot more than the various captains and lieutenants, who are most of the time only really around to check off the list of various fighting styles/powers and don't really have much more to their characters. This seems like a dangerous post to make without knowing what happens next though. Blue Exorcist has lost me. I can't take the new character seriously in the stupid outfit. And then as soon as she's introduced she becomes substitute teacher because of course she does. Neither Naruto is enjoyable at this point, I remember really thinking the first Deirdara encounter was pretty lame when I first marathoned the show, I imagine it will be worse as a weekly watch. The early Chunin exams are pretty boring as well. I'm super glad Space Dandy exists. Yesterday's episode might have been my favorite, and I really like most all of the ones from here on out. The show just puts me in a good mood, somehow. Hopefully the ratings are good since there was no playoff games and apparently the MMA fight was not really a factor.
As for DBZ, I wouldn't mind it as a show from 4-6. Though if it's going to be uncut Kai or Buu-Kai they will probably slide it around where Exorcist is. I guess I could be good with that.

First thing I thought as well.
I thought the account only messed with Gaming and OT. The few times I checked it, I don't remember it showing community post. Even then, for them to pick up the DBZ thing whoever wrote it must have been in the thread or told because there was no real build up to the discussion.
Really? I might rewatch again. IT just came off more snobby where in the original it was more of a
"I'm just trying to stay alive and keep my head down. Not deal with this mess"

I will point out for those who don't know this training arc was done in flash back later in the manga and the anime decided to place it chronologically which I preferred. I felt it was weird in the manga when (upcoming anime spoilers)
Also I'm pretty sure neogaf worst post doesn't normally look for post, people send him/her suggestions for terrible posts and then he/she tweets them.
we were expected to feel sad for characters who died that we didn't know and then expected to invest in them during a flash back when we already knew they were dead in the present

I'd stake my reputation that there's no way DBZ Kai airs anytime after midnight. They want the largest potential audience. Hell I'd say 11pm is more likely than anytime after 12:30am.

DBZ Kai will air at 11:30 or 12, no way it goes later then that

NeoGaf's Worst Posts
That's what I definitely noticed before I went off to sleep last night. Personally, I think if they get it, it'd be a good addition to put in at 11 PM. Kick off the block with a rating's boon and hope people stick around for the new stuff.
My theory is the mods/admins run it. But I'm probably wrong.
Apparently not.

I always thought that for some reason.
To be fair, the songs do actually get in the way at times.
For Example: Yamcha has died, and Krillin screams in anguish over one of his closest friend's corpse.
-episode ends, hard cut to upbeat credits music-
~LIVE YOUR LIFE DON'T STOP TIL ITS DONE~
A great scene totally ruined by that for me.
Love the show, but I very much doubt it'll ever be on Toonami.
Maybe if we beat the shit out of the part-timer.

The Shiny Shiny effect
It is because this is a show, Kai re-edit or not, that Toonami ran into the fucking ground back in its original form. It is fighting against the belief that Toonami is nothing without DBZ, like it is incomplete. It is about seeing Toonami embrace new blood instead of relying of the shadows of the past. If DBZ or DBZ Kai came in at 3:00 or 5:00 PM and did the Inuyasha/Cowboy Bebop retirement tour. I no more want to see DBZ on the block then I want to see Yu yu Hakasho, Gundam Wing, Ruroni Kenshin or any of the other legacy titles. I do not want to see a Toonami that is ramshackled by nostalgia and can never escape from. I am not foolish, it would bring ratings, to a point, and that might be one of the death-knells of the idea of Kai on Toonami actually. Demographics and all that, unsure how the idea of DBZ for adults would go down with Funimation. Instead of having DBZ Kai be the heir to Bleach, have it be Hunter X Hunter, a show that has never had the chance to make it. I am unsure how much clearer I can make this, I want to see Toonami back the Daniel Bryan's and less about back the Hulk Hogans in this year of 2014.

I'm sitting here watching GT on nicktoons and it ain't half bad
The first 16 episodes were OK but they never rarely gave me a proper reason to believe the heroes were in real danger and it lacks tension and got boring at times.
Bebi arc is a lot of fun.
Super 17 is OK but it was mostly DBZ Movie 12 in saga form.
Shadow Dragon starts off fun but then it becomes one long battle between Fire-Ice-Omega Dragon. The final villain had no personality besides the fact he was evil. So it kind of gets boring there.
I take it post Black Star Dragonball saga then.
I've never slept until 3:30 before on Sunday, must have been exhausted.
I think I'm enjoying Space Dandy more on a second watch-through. It's nice to not have to worry about narrative or plot twists or pacing or etc; even if the comedy is a little off at times it's still a great change of pace from most of the other shows.Can't get frustrated if something doesn't make sense or doesn't fit just go with the flow baby.

So literally the first thing you did was post on GAF? lol
As someone coming back to Toonami/Anime after a 8ish year hiatus and (on a smaller degree WWE) I get what shard means with this
There is irony with the statement that since DB's run has been lackluster but that's not his problem more so the booking. I see what he means tho, it's a new era so let some fresh faces get more exposure then a series that literally everybody knows. At the same time DBZ would be a ratings booster just because literally everybody wants it. I can live without it but I would understand why they would bring it back.

Well actually I got up about a half hour ago. Heard about this Target trade in deal going to check that out.

I have no idea what is going on. Goku and Vegeta are fighting Omega Shenron. He just killed another dragon who was gold or some shit.
If I could, I suppose it would be Gundam, since that is a franchise that gets new entries and such on a continuous basis, also Build Fighters.

How long is GT
64 plus a TV Special that's actually pretty good.

So why the heck is the bad guy letting Goku power up his spirit bomb?
I know, but it's a fun thing to watch. I imagine it'll be even more fun to watch live with you guys. Considering Blue Exorcist has less fights than it does, who knows.

Did you really just knock Toonami for being too hung up on DBZ, then suggest Gundam as a hot new up-and-comer?
As far as new stuff goes, Toonami is doing what they need to do by putting shows like Space Dandy and Attack on Titan in the lead slot.
I also don't understand complaining about Kai when we have two goddamn shows worth of Naruto on every Saturday. You want to complain about something, there's your target.

Build Fighters is awesome. Not sure everyone will dig the Yugioh/Beyblade thing its got going on though
Attack on Titan
Bit of a slow episode considering it's mostly just introducing a lot of the other characters. Jokes were alright, nothing especially hilarious, but they worked in lightening the mood of the situation. Regarding concerns on not remembering the characters, it's only been the first episode with most of them. After I finished AoT, I looked up the manga and realized there's a focus on even more characters the anime doesn't really touch upon. Also, it took me quite a few episodes to remember everyone in Baccano and I still enjoyed it, so AoT shouldn't be a problem.
Also what Raxus said. Be careful with spoilers. I've already seen it AoT but for those who haven't, I'm not much of a fan of hinting things, like the Potato Girl thing for example. For anime in general, stuff like "Cant wait for episode x" also kinda lessens the impact when stuff happens, just sayin. I do understand though that it's difficult to withhold for that during the excitement of a group watch.
Bleach
Tried to pay attention to what was going on. Uryu's hurt, Ichigo's sister is thirsty, Ichigo is powerless, quirky villains are quirky. Didn't really interest me, my guess is it's part of a slow setup of the bad guys.
Space Dandy
Even on a second watch this episode really shines
. Love how there's no breaks at all in its pace, and it just consistently keeps building up til the big finish.
Shippuden
Sakura does stuff and Naruto can't shut his mouth. I heard this fight takes 8 episodes? FFS I haven't seen this fight but I bet if you just clipped together the ACTUAL fight scenes they would only fill about 2 full episodes or something.
One Piece
Don't know why Eren gets so much hate for screaming a lot. From what I was kinda watching of OP, most conversations are screaming. It seems like screaming is akin to them using their library voices. Not that big of a deal though since it's shounen. But getting stuck is ridiculous. Unless it's some running gag I'm not aware of, it just seems like obvious padding.
Blue Exorcist
Boobs. Swords coming out of boobs. Shame the actual plot is kinda just getting started and it's halfway done. I have enjoyed what has aired though and have just taken it for what it is- an average fun anime. Little insights into Shiro's personality are always nice too.
Black Lagoon
Fuck I really want to finish this show already. Best thing on the block. Sucks to wait til next week. Hard to overlook that there's alot of the badass cliches and what not, but it feels just fine for some reason. I'm sure someone can probably put this alot more eloquently than I can.
DBZ comments
I would be indifferent to it returning or not cause if it does come back, I know damn sure people will complain if it's the Kai version. And if it's the original, do people really want to watch DBZ at 1 episode a week? I mean, that's the show that subconciously conditioned me as a kid to get used to SLOOOOOOOOOW PACING. If it wasn't for that I don't know how I would've stomached shit like Shippuden or just shounen in general. And tbh I feel DBZ Abridged has probably ruined even Kai for me cause that is the only pacing that seems acceptable in watching it.
Just my two cents.
