Same. I caught like half the episode then fell asleep.

You didn't miss a lot.
That episode of One Piece was pretty slow.

But you are the non-canon member.
This is the worst filler arc of anything I've ever seen. It doesn't even deserve the Non-Canon seal of approval. It's just so boring and the most galling part about it is it doesn't have to be.
Tons of side characters.
An interesting mission to seal away a tailed beast before Orochimaru gets there.
An unconventional tale of love and forgiveness.
Kabuto wearing a mask and pulling it off dramatically.
It's damning when you think about it but the most interesting part of the arc was the Froggy Song. I'm having a hard time explaining just how poorly this arc was executed. I need a place to return to to gather my thoughts.

I feel like this entire Naruto filler arc could be summed up with that gif of Kabuto and a picture of the lake.
The latter because we've been at this same fucking lake for what feels like the past 20 episodes.

This Shippuden filler is basically a reverse Dimension W.

I wish I could just filter out mangod posts that were nothing but gif posts would make the thread easier to read.
I counted you posting that Kabuto face reveal in this thread 5 times so far, and we're 8 days into this thread.
Make of that what you will.
I tried to get that on every page before TOONAMI started but wasn't able to post much this week so I dropped that plan.

HxH dub is okay but nothing special. Then I remember how the later arcs go and think to myself how the hell this voice cast is going to pull it off?

Still early in the series I think they'll ease into the characters as the series goes on.
This reminds me of Can't Beat Airman very strongly.
Is there a legitimate place to watch Sakamoto?
He's probably recharging his batteries.
It's on Crunchyroll.
Same
The first time I heard the band I actually wondered if it was the same group, it's not, but I had to check.
Nice to see I'm not alone
None of which are on Canadian Amazon Prime.
Also Prime Video is a nightmare to sort/search through on anything but a computer. They also do that annoying thing that Netflix did almost a decade ago where they separate shows by season instead of grouping it all together to make their library look bigger than it is.
omg Prime has some free Mystery Science Theater 3000 stuff, MEMBERSHIP VALIDATED.
Also holy crap, not only got Wario World for $20, but also found a freakin' copy of Rival Schools with both discs (though no manual) for only $40. I tell you, the feeling of finding an older, more rare game at a store or flea market is so much more satisfying than just ordering it off Amazon or eBay....not to mention you can see the condition for yourself.
.......wow, yeah, Amazon Prime Video has pretty much NOTHING for anime. Most of the better stuff, you can only see the first episode for free. There's a FEW notable stuff like Elfen Lied, Highschool of the Dead, Angel Beats, S1 of World God Only Knows, Abenobashi, but then stuff like....Demon King Daimaio & He is my Master.....

Here's an interesting anime legend
A pilot for a Fox Kids version of Detective Conan.
I'm not even sure how you could air Detective Conan on 2000-era Fox Kids.
A pilot for a Fox Kids version of Detective Conan.
I'm not even sure how you could air Detective Conan on 2000-era Fox Kids.
How would that even...how much editing would that even take?
Yeah, there was no way Fox Kids would able to have Detective Conan on their block.
Even Adult Swim couldn't show the decapitated head in the first episode. There was no way this series would fly.
There are sources in the article from 2000 indicating that they had plans. My guess? Saban snatched up the rights when they heard it was crazy popular, and didn't realize just how violent it was. They probably heard "Kid Detective" and thought "Kid-friendly cases", only it's murder cases no different from an episode of Law & Order. Oops!
It's kind of like what happened with 4Kids and One Piece. Though if what I've heard is true, Toei bundled the One Piece rights with other shows, and 4Kids was stuck with it.
Yeah, I heard that 4Kids didn't really want anything to do with OP anyways but just kept for awhile...which led to whatever that dub was.
And seeing Disney's misfire with Naruto Shippuden, I could believe that.
Thanks! I'm so glad Art Academy lets me approximate watercolor's fairly well. The desaturation really helps sell it all.
There really is something awesome about finding gems in person. I used to love the days of searching and finding great, rare stuff on hand, but now with product searches and smarter sellers and buyers, it kills the "adventure" aspect so much.
Especially when even the pawn shops, flea markets, and second-hands base their prices on e-bay and Amazon. The days of finding local stores with gems that they have a game for $4.99 ,that go for $69.99 for those "in the know".
It still happens on occasion, but it's much more rare.
Yeah, I went to a flea market once & found the Fire Emblem game on Wii for only $10, had no idea it was worth around $50. Sometimes you get the rare times of people just wanting to sell something cheap to get rid of it without wanting to spend the time to do the research & such, but yes, nowadays, eBay & Amazon have both made it easier, but also more expensive to get stuff because that's how people can base their prices.
The guy at the store actually told me of a good site called Price Charting where I could instantly look up an average price for games, which was nice since I tend to search those two sites mentioned above first.
It's also more enjoyable finding the game in person because it's like a hunt where as you can just grab it on Amazon or eBay and be done, it doesn't have the same level of satisfaction, plus you can't see the condition of it for yourself.
There's a place in town that has some Saturn games I wouldn't mind getting, but he didn't have any prices on them & considering I've heard he can be quite expensive, I really don't want to go back just to hear him go with some of the high prices I've seen online, especially when I'm told by the community I should just import Saturn games.
The Lost Media Wiki does have some interesting anime pages.
One of the most well known pieces of lost anime, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. The 2007 movie that Araki hated so much that it was never released on DVD or Blu-Ray. Getting rid of Speedwagon was a big mistake.
Harmony Gold's Dragon Ball dub. Included weird name changes like Goku becoming Zero. The movie dubs they did exist, but the show itself is lost. There you can hear the voice of Angelica Pickles coming out of Puar. Man, imagine the alternate universe where Harmony Gold actually found success with Dragon Ball and they hold a tyrannical fist over it like they do Macross.
The Toonami version of Outlaw Star is lost. With all the nudity covered up.
The entire 1973 Doraemon series. Apparently the creators hated it so much they wanted it gone. It would get overshadowed by the much more popular 1979 series. Speaking of, it seems the English Dub on Disney XD has been cancelled. Oh well.
Apparently the One Piece 4Kids dub was considered lost, but someone uploaded a torrent recently and it's been spread around.

So based on someone's comment on 12:30 being the crap show slot, I went to look up the previous shows that aired at 12:30, from newest to oldest (I'll go back as far as the beginning of 2013).
- Akame ga Kill
- Kill la Kill (...........well, the second half, I guess)
- Inuyasha Final Act (but this was when Kai was at 11:30 & freakin' Shippuden at midnight)
- Shippuden (when AoT was 11:30 & Bleach, then Kai was midnight)
- Space Dandy (For the most part, nah)
- Naruto
........Well, AgK & Final Act, I can agree. Kill la Kill, I'd say later in the 2nd half (after the school trip) is when things went downhill.
I think I heard a clip of Harmony Gold's DB dub with the intro being new & calling Goku "Zero"....which is a freakin' weird name change.
Oh right, I forgot they made a Phantom Blood film. Hell, I think Araki even told Capcom to not localized the PS2 Part 5 game despite having plans to translate it because he wasn't fond of the previous name changes & refused to let them do it again. Wasn't until All-Star Battle when Namco went directly to him & made sure he approved of all the name changes (I have no idea if he himself came up with them, but considering how he loves his music references, it could be possible)
Doesn't there still exist DVDs of the 4Kids One Piece dub? Obviously out of print now, but still.

Ehh 12:30 basically became the not DBZ/Bleach premier slot that had been 11:30 before Toonami got condensed down to 3.5 hours.
Only the first 52 episodes, which is about halfway into Drum Island.
The rest of the series was not put out on DVD. But TV rips exist.
The Lost Media Wiki page does have a link to download the 4Kids dub, but I'm not sure what the legality of that is... Nobody is making money on that version anymore but...
