Think I'll just play more Fire Emblem, rather than bother with the marathon (nothing I missed or really need to review at the moment).

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i might tune in to see the intro

 

[Hellwarden]

I'll watch some tonight, though I might be lured back to the fuzzy embrace of Yoshi's Woolly World.

This is what playing Yoshi's Woolly World feels like.

Spoiler

It also makes all the voices go away.

 

[Mizerman]

At least I'm playing Borderlands 2 to pass the time.

Can't wait until I get myself a PS4.

 

[BatDan]

Oh yeah, this was that Family Guy that Fox refused to air because Jews.

I'll watch some tonight, though I might be lured back to the fuzzy embrace of Yoshi's Woolly World.

Perfect comparison.
Toasty and comfy.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Fuck you Family Guy

Oh yeah, this was that Family Guy that Fox refused to air because Jews.

Which is rather amusing in retrospect, considering just how tame that episode is by modern Family Guy standards.

 

[Regiruler]

Wait, tonight is a marathon night? Lammeeeee

 

[BatDan]

Wait, tonight is a marathon night? Lammeeeee

It's the day after Christmas, of course it's a marathon.

 

[Zonic]

Maybe we'll get Samurai Champloo as our next marathon....whenever that'll happen.

 

[Ultratech]

*sees OP Marathon*

Yeah, I'mma sit this one out.

Frankly, it's been a terrible week all-around for me (been sick, on-call, feeling like shit, etc.).

And now it's raining of all things. >_>

 

[BatDan]

Oh man, this scene.
Fox kills soooo many shows

[skLaFarebear]

Sitting out of Toonami again. Xenoblade > Marathons

Maybe we'll get Samurai Champloo as our next marathon....whenever that'll happen.

President's day? Valentines day? Easter? Not really sure what counts tbh.

 

[Hidden One]

Why the hell are they playing all these marathons? It's like they want the ratings to drop.

At least Rainbow Star returns.

 

[Zonic]

Holidays already cause ratings to drop. They had one last week, & we had one the weekend after Thanksgiving as well. Next week, things will return to normal.

 

[BatDan]

They play marathons because nobody is watching.
December ratings are low thanks to the Holidays.
They did Movie Months in 2013 and 2014 but the last one did worse than usual so they now do marathons of shows they're currently airing as it's cheap.

 

[mightynine]

I'm here for the new open, at least.

 

[Hellwarden]

Noooo Arnold, don't sell out to mobile games!

I mean, the money is probably fantastic, and I would do the same probably....but don't do it!

 

[ckohler]

I'm here for a bit. Mostly to see the new bumps.

 

[BatDan]

I wonder if they're going to play the full Crazy Rainbow opening.

Ohh right right.

 

[Zonic]

Oh god, all the times we're gonna have to hear Crazy Star.

OH GOD, all the times we're gonna have to hear the Gold Roger intro.

OH GOD, ALL THE RECAPS FOR THE EPISODES WE JUST WATCHED.

 

[MetatronM]

I wonder if they're going to play the full Crazy Rainbow opening.

I would be surprised if they had an uncut version in the first place.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Let's do this shit, y'all! Time to end the year with the Straw Hats!

 

[Zonic]

Huuuuh, interesting new style for the opening of Toonami.

 

[BatDan]

I would be surprised if they had an uncut version in the first place.

Looks like that's a no.

 

[SAB CA]

They'll actually be some anime characters on that later!

 

[ckohler]

Oh god, all the times we're gonna have to hear Crazy Star.

OH GOD, all the times we're gonna have to hear the Gold Roger intro.

OH GOD, ALL THE RECAPS FOR THE EPISODES WE JUST WATCHED.

This marathon's total running time will probably be 50% recaps.

 

[Hidden One]

Huuuuh, interesting new style for the opening of Toonami.

Reminds me of Tom 4.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the cut version of Crazy Rainbow is better honestly.

also was kinda hoping the intro would be more than landscape shots, but i'm fine with it

 

[Mik317]

hi guys


<see repeat piece marathon>

bye guys

 

[Hellwarden]

Wealth, fame, power.

Toonami hopes to obtain this, despite setbacks.

Like holiday ratings.

 

[GaimeGuy]

WEALTH!
FAME!
POWER!

 

[Zonic]

Reminds me of Tom 4.

Yeah, some of us can't help but feel like this is similar to the planet that TOM 4.0 was on. No idea when they'll officially state what the planet is or how it connects to the Toonami canon.

 

[Schadenfreude]

We meet again, Rainbow Star.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I think DeMarco confirmed it was just some random planet that isn't connected to Moltar or TOM 4 at all

 

[BatDan]

Yeah, some of us can't help but feel like this is similar to the planet that TOM 4.0 was on. No idea when they'll officially state what the planet is or how it connects to the Toonami canon.

It could be the planet where Moltar broadcast from at the very beginning.
We might eventually get an explanation for where Moltar went after TOM 1.0 took over. If they're allowed to use him.

I think DeMarco confirmed it was just some random planet that isn't connected to Moltar or TOM 4 at all

Aww...
Then again, creators tend to lie to hide intentions.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Oh god, all the times we're gonna have to hear Crazy Star.

OH GOD, all the times we're gonna have to hear the Gold Roger intro.

OH GOD, ALL THE RECAPS FOR THE EPISODES WE JUST WATCHED.

ISN'T IT EXCITING?!

 

[Zonic]

So wait, is Paulie's ropes that he can make stay around forever, or don't they go away eventually?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Just fuck already.

 

[Zonic]

YOU'LL BE KING OF THE PIRATES SHIP BUILDERS!!

 

[GaimeGuy]

Just fuck already.

Would you fuck your brother?

 

[Hellwarden]

MANLY GUSTO!

 

[Zonic]

So.......what if it's a seagull AND skull & bones on the same flag? A navy pirate ship?

 

[Schadenfreude]

lol Okay for some reason that last quip from Franky really got me.

 

[BatDan]

So.......what if it's a seagull AND skull & bones on the same flag? A navy pirate ship?

Ah, you must mean *gets tackled by spoiler police*
