What a disjointed sentence. There are 72 volumes of Naruto...and you're going to spend a lot of money on something. What are you spending that money on? I...just don't get it.

Probably the objects mentioned in the preceding sentence. Just a guess.

Don't do that to yourself! With a name like that you're supposed to take joy in other people's misery, not drown in it yourself.

OP 180-
Eneru, stay losing.
(that was very anticlimactic...)

Start of 181....how does this make any sense. This defies logic, even OP logic.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
In "faith in humanity has shattered" news.
The SAO Vita game sold 400k copies worldwide.

What the fuck do people see?

Likely that people don't care too much that SAO has shallow characters and silly relationships. They just want to play an apparently decent rpg (?) with a ridiculous protagonist and the chance to hang out with waifus.

As for that image macro, I think it's useable in context, yes, but shouldn't be used to 'quiet' well meant criticism.
 
Not sure if you're referring to me or speaking in general terms but I'm not trying to quiet criticism towards SAO. Plenty of people have explained in depth why they don't like the show but posting that macro was my way of saying 'hey maybe we shouldn't shit on a fan base because they like something we don't'. If I go onto the gaming side and say 'Wii U sold x amount of units this week, what the heck are people thinking/I've lost faith in humanity' I'd probably get a perma ban.

Not a big deal, just think we should be more respectful. Don't want to step on any toes.

I was just speaking in general, sorry. I agree with you here.

There needs to be a version where it has the guy saying the comic, just to have some kind of inception.

People like waifus. A toilet plunging simulator would sell if it had waifus.

That said, some Waifu games are great.

Speaking of Jojo, so many manga seem to lose steam as they go on as its clear that their authors planned only so far out in advance (though I understand some of the mitigating factors). The premise can be strong but the author doesn't have the chops to see it through for more than a few years. Why don't more authors do cast reboots like Araki does for the different parts of Jojo? They are all connected but loosely enough that it gives Araki freedom to shake things up a lot between each part. I feel a manga like Naruto and Bleach could have strongly benefited from doing so. Much better than the cast creep that happened for both.

I feel like this is part of the reason why I was able to get into Jojo. The fact there's multiple "parts" helps break up such a long series, yet each one can (for the most part) stand out without much requirement of the previous ones. I barely get into long-running anime/manga unless I'm able to jump on early (I still can't believe I read every chapter of The World God Only Knows), but for some reason, reading parts 4 through 7 didn't feel as much of a chore. Not to mention, like you said, it helps keep things fresh since we can shift focus on different characters & such.

Also who the hell would have the shelf space for some of these long manga? It's bad enough the cost is gonna be $500+ for 50+ volumes, but then you gotta find a place to put them.

Can't wait to see InoGAF's reaction to the final episode of Shippuden in 2023.

Since I'm probably going to get spoiled anyway in these next 8 years I went ahead and looked the last part on the Naruto Wiki.

I now understand why it's called Shippuden
 
Not toonami-related but South Park has been pretty bad this season. I wish they would go back to original stories instead of spoofing pop culture weeks or months later.

Yeah the freemium episode was ok but they are going through the motions and episodes run out of steam quickly. Maybe next season they will have some more inspiration.

They havent done original stories in a very long time. Hell around season 9/10 is when they mostly focused on pop culture stuff

Suprisingly, thats when I stopped watching it!

I vote for either the removal of the Viagra commercial on the stream or having that same commercial added to the cable broadcast so you can all suffer through it with those on the stream.

You will never understand the horror that is the hot pockets commercial if you only watch the stream

I've seen it many times before. I think there's some psychological impact involved when a beautiful woman comes on your TV every 15mins to tell you about the range of ED problems YOU could have and how VIAGRA can help with that.
