I remember when Kids WB used to show this. Was bizarre, yet funny.
Apparently they didn't have the Japanese script so everything was improvised.

Really we should always be on Star Wars
Yup, it was basically the first "abridged" show & it's even mentioned in the opening song, something about "As soon as we can find the script, then we can start the show." I should get around to watching the dub, I bet I would've really dug it as a kid since I was more into action-comedy.

Hey, Funimation dubbed a Ford Fusion before DBZ Kai fusion!

Is there any particular reason why these Fusions don't have any paint jobs resembling DBZ?

Or you could like, not. You could totally do that instead.

I enjoy the prequels despite their faults, minus the padme/anakin love subplot in attack of the clones, that shit is awful
Are you a masochist?

Or you could watch The Clone Wars CGI show!
It's actually pretty good, despite being tied to some terrible movies!
I will admit though, the early seasons of the Clone Wars are pretty boring.

B&N is having their B2G1 sale. There is also a coupon for $10 off $100.

I got a bunch of Monster and EVA volumes. Seems like a good deal.

Following the episode guide was a good idea.
Some episodes, particularly early on are just dull. (Goddamn Jar Jar episodes...)
Also I feel compelled to bring up how Rebels, while enjoyable, is clearly not getting the same budget that the Clone Wars enjoyed.
I also don't know what's going on with the thin tiny light sabers either.

Somebody needs to take the shitty Mortis arc out of the honorable mentions

I actually did skip that because it didn't sound interesting. Good to know that it was bad.

the first episode is okay but the other two get fucking ridiculous and it does pretty much the worst callback ("callforward"?) in a franchise that's awful about those
Hellwarden

Oh man, you mean those episodes where
Anakin learned he was going to be Darth Vader, but then immediately had his memory erased? Making the entire arc pointless?
Yeah, good thing you skipped that Sigma.

ARGH.
I should really finish the Clone Wars TV show at some point. I just have the non-Darth Maul stuff in season 5 to go, really, since I've seen 6.
I think the Fives arc in season 6 is the only thing in Clone Wars that really stuck the landing, though it, Darth Maul, Nightsisters, and Umbara are all some of the best Star Wars stuff period.

I get that, but I feel like the show doesn't capture the original intent well. The lightsabers look powerful in those shots.
The lightsabers in rebels look wimpy in comparison.
Also, guys, what if Decimate never returns?
What if that's the last we ever hear of him?

Heh, I just saw Jason Demarco at the movie theater that I work at.
Complimented him on the new look of the block. Nice guy.

Did you ask him where's Dragon Ball Z?

I hope it's decent, a friend and I are probably going to go see it at some point in the next week or two.

crosspost from anime community because why not
i'm really liking glitter force a lot
I had heard of PreCure before, including hearing things about Smile from internet osmosis. I knew the series sometimes had well choreographed and animated action moments, so I always thought that I'd give it a try if one of the series got dubbed. When all the "Gangam Girls" talks were going on, I was excited for it because of the ironic/nostalgic appeal of such a 90s style Americanized dub, and the show has that even with the less ridiculous name.
Much like when I first watched Friendship is Magic, I wasn't grabbed right away and was hesitant. But, like that show, once the initial episodes focusing on the plot give way to character stories, I was hooked. Although FiM transitions completely to a slice of life, Glitter Force still includes the prerequisite monster of the week being blown up with a stock footage beam, with all the same reused speeches from the baddies, but the real focus is on character interactions and humor, which the show does very well.
I do hope to get some of the fights I've seen on youtube (assuming they were from Smile) that had well done fighting action, however.
I watched the first episode of Smile PreCure after I watched the first episode of Glitter force, but honestly nothing jumped out at me as making the original high art in comparison. Most lines that feel like dub additions (an extra cheesy self aware joke from an offscreen character or without lip movement) are funny, even if it's for the cheese/ironic bad pun factor.
Criticisms:
I hope Saban continues with the rest of the franchise.

Criticisms:
- The skipped episodes. I like the show enough that my biggest complaint is that I want more of it.
- The anti seizure screen darkening.
- When Glitter Sunny transforms, she says "This girl is on fire" followed by "When you mess with me, you're playing with fire". She should say "When you mess with me, you're gonna get burned" so there's move word variety. But that's only for her solo transformation which doesn't happen too often.
I hope Saban continues with the rest of the franchise.
Both are!

It's either the best or worst show of the year.
If you disagree you're clearly a Nazi Communist.

At least the popular OT vote this year is for something good and not Attack on Titan or Kill la Kill
BassForever

So if I don't agree that its the best and the worst I'm a nazi communist? Or is it I have to think its either the best or the worst and if I find it somewhere in the middle I'm a nazi communist.
Yet I'd rather watch both of those over OPM, OPM does have the best overall animation fwiw
