Is that JYB as Orga?
Not what I expected.

And now I don't need to stay up til 3:00 just to watch One Piece? I'm okay with this.

It's not an extension but its cool to have 11:30 back :)

Minority "Best" Friend and his family (and maybe my) friends in last night's dinner. Pharmacy student, Restaurant Owner (makes the best Far Eastern food in town), ex-nurse & firefighter, doctor, two ex-teachers. Only racist thing was ex-nurse/firefighter calling Obama "bamboo", otherwise it turned into a transphobic nightmare that was triggered by Target's recent polices and gossip about not allowing flags and "Christian" symbolism (talked to a friend who works at one and apparently that is not true) , overall mentioning the bathroom bills that's been going around, "Best" friend making a "chopping off" joke and would like to tell those who would move to Canada if Trump wins the US presidency to not have the "gay gate" hit them on the way out or some homophobic shit. Different walks of life with critical thinking skills that got them far in life, threw away at moments like these where they still think they're knowledgeable folks.

I've known him for over 6 years now but the more I've come to understand the world, the more I feel emotionally detached to him as I don't want to even feel like I'm part of such putrid aura but I don't do conflict well (I've tried before with racism and my nerves went to absolute shit and barely even able to speak) and even if I manage to steady my emotions, I don't want it to just turn into endless routine arguing...despite knowing defending Americans at any given time would be the right thing to do. I don't even want to hang out with my grand relatives' place any more with Drumpf in the scene.

And I live in a blue state...

Man few things suck more than when close friends and family start to show their asses. It honestly feels like a betrayal of sorts since I would assume you know them pretty well in most respects. I can't really give you any specific advice but I just hope you keep your chin and and those close to you with "objectionable" views eventually see the light so to speak.

All right, Samurai Jack is definitely replacing Gundam and airing at 11:30.

Bold prediction in light of recent news :p
 
Samurai Champloo puts me to sleep. I thought it was Naruto Shippuden filler but no, it's Champloo.

Still not feeling Champloo? Are the characters just not interesting to you? Or does the setting leave you cold?

Also, random note, the bosses in Doom are excellent.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
For whoever is creating the June topic, here are the end dates (always subject to change)

Samurai Champloo: July 2nd
Parasyte: October 1st
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans: November 19th
Dragon Ball Z Kai: November 26th (Original Ending), January 27th 2018 (Buu ending)
Hunter x Hunter: February 16th 2019
Naruto Shippuden: They're in the final arc in Japan. We'll have a date soon... right?
One Piece: You like Disney?

It's likely that starting in December (or January), we're getting DBZ Kai: Buu Saga. I can't imagine that two high-profile shows ending so close to each other will happen.

So with Parasyte being moved to 2:30 now that puts it above the premiere line and could signal that some stuff (Shippuden and One Piece) could be moved back for something new.

Seen it three or four times and have never been a great big fan of it, though I recognize its quality. It's also very relaxing at times with its music/visual presentation.

Alright, that Iron Blooded Orphans trailer sold me only because it's the same narration and music as the Gundam Wing promo.

Well done, Toonami. Now I'm looking forward to this. This trailer actually makes me hype for typecasted voice range JYB.

Hmmm, not sure I like the timeslot changes. It means for sure I can't go out on Saturday night and expect to be home in time to watch the start of the block

Yeah, might miss a few DBZ's myself. A friend moved a bit further away and has Saturday's off now.

Gives all the fucks
Yeesh, I thought I blocked that from my mind. I just remember that one of the early episodes had the token human try to awaken the main Gundam with a kiss a/la Sleeping Beauty.
lol what

Please don't tell me it actually worked.

The sad thing is they kinda sorta handpicked that show because of the aging down of TOONAMI block at the time plus the mobile suits involved are all familiar to the TOONAMI audience.

It's by no means the worst thing aired on TOONAMI but its not exactly...good either.

Yeah, I remember it being on Toonami for a bit. Especially when the toys were trying to be advertised.

Reminds me of "Ben 10'clock" during Eureka Seven, when they were originally going to advertise the DVDs but Bandai lost all their anime licenses (E7 to Funimation) so they couldn't promote it.

Hamtaro was okay, just the worst possible anime for the worst possible timeslot. It was the beggining of the end of Toonami.
 
The only thing I remember of Hamtaro is this image.

latest


That's it.
