I like how my thread title suggestion sneaked it's way into the last thread before it was closed and got chosen. I think that's like the 4th or 5th thread title I've given the suggestion for. Course it gets a bit harder to follow when we sometimes change the thread title weekly based upon amazing quotes in the shows we watch.

I don't get the thread title.
This OT new title's fantastic!
The Namek arc in the original DBZ was paced abysmally, so it was a joke from the ancient days of the Internet to ask if a show was "stuck on Namek" if a story was dragging and nothing was happening. Since the Namek arc first aired in the US on Toonami 18 years ago, and since Toonami's airing the Kai version of the same arc, the title is implying that the wait for the arc to finish did last 18 years.

Can't wait for Toonami to air DBS when they go to New Namek or some shit
Definitely a bit more even in number of regulars compared to some community threads.

Yeah, for sure.
I've definitely noticed more new faces around here recently. On a regular basis too.

Toonami itself is the joke. In that it's futile for a tv company to try and compete with the internet.

While this is technically true, it's not the full reason the joke became popular
Reruns suck, and Toonami famously had to rerun DBZ right at the end of the Recoome fight like twice back in the day meaning it took an already really long arc into an extremely long one when we kept watching it on endless repeat.

I for one look forward to watching Bulma fight a giant crab PS3 style again.
That's because Recoome rhymes with doom and it's going to be over for you all too soon.
I noticed some of my students reading SAO today after class finished.
Sometimes you feel bad for watching stuff targeted for the critical analysis faculties of thirteen year olds and finding fault with it
but then you remember there's stuff targetted at thirteen year olds that is some dope well-made shit and you shrug and remember it's okay i guess

What I don't get is well-rounded adults just accepting the whole "mass-murder-is-ok-now-for-some-reason" disconnect.

I can't wai! Going to go see it on Saturday.
As long as people like who characters appear to be now, they tend to forgive whatever faults they had in the past (and it's a lot easier when those sins are either off-screen or so drawn out as to be kind of forgotten or fade into the background)
everybody loves vegeta for instance. hell, I like vegeta a lot. it's pretty easy to forget he's a mass murderer. of course killing people means something different in dbz-ville but still.

I'm watching Future Diary through my anime club at school (subbed), and it's been a ride so far. We only have four episodes left. On the other hand
we only have four characters left, so it's more like how do we still have four episodes left.
SOA is pretty much our world but 10 years in the future. Like, the show just dumps this serious subject matter and it seems to be taken seriously at first but then people in the show just kind of stopped being authentic about how they would proceed and somehow the audience buys into it anyways. It constantly so wants to be a drama so badly and fails at it over and over yet people think it's legitimate conflict.
