Just to share, I've loved how... not effected NC feels by the recent election. Sure there's political signs all over, but I've been out shopping a lot these past few days (Chased around an NES Classic from 12 AM last night, to basically 8AM this morning with only a few hours break), and everyone I stood in line with, chatted with, and shared "THESE GUYS MADE ME STAY IN LINE FOR 45 MIN BEFORE REVEALING THEY COULDN'T FIND THEIR SYSTEMS!" stories with was pleasant, friendly, and the perfect mix of a melting pot of races and ideas, just as one images of the US.

Standing outside a store before it opens, all cold, and searching for a hotly contested, limited quantity items, with the potential to get freakin PISSED when someone tells you that 45 minutes was wasted with no reward... bursting into a store and rushing to a certain section, trying to get limited units before another... yet we were all wishing each other good luck, sharing stories about why we're out there, congratulating those who found what they wanted, enjoying stories of what said person's friends found, etc.

It's just nice. I keep expecting to see SOMETHING negative of shocking in this most volatile time. But none of my family have returned from their outings with any horror stories. Noone's witnessed anything out of the ordinary. If anything, we've just seen examples of people being more inclusive, more polite, more pleasant. If the things I hear about others on twitter and news have lowered my faith in humanity, that wish I've walked in, experience first hand, and heard going about around me have at least maintained my original feelings, ha.

So stay strong, my ToonAmi's! Theres a lot of people out there who won't turn into rambling idiotic real-life net trolls just due to exterior changes.

At the very least, just one more day until Toonami. Jojo will continue to be awesome, we're finally starting the next arc in HxH that many have said to be the start of when things get "real", Gohan is going super duper saiyan & puts us one episode closer to finally defeating Cell, we're watching everyone fight Oars in OP (well aside from Luffy), & IBO appears to slowly be getting better again.

If I may be serious again, I really do appreciate how open & respectful everyone here is when it comes to voicing opinions. This is the only place I feel safe talking about the recent political stuff going on, considering I usually would stay away from the topic because I always felt it was just a landmine that would set people off & result in arguments that lead nowhere, which results in everyone just feeling more negative & why I never got into them in the first place.

Ditto on that political sentiment.

I'll say that it'll be interesting watching Hunter X Hunter from here on out. I read through the entire manga and it peaked for me at the Hunter Exam if you can believe it. I don't think the stuff that came after it was bad but for some reason I had a really hard time enjoying it. I didn't see the point to a few of the arcs that happened and the last one with the

was just SUPER long and SUPER dialogue heavy and disgusting and depressing... I couldn't take it.

I'm hoping digesting it in anime form will see to my opinion changing.

That is the kind of thing that got Nixon impeached.

Wel then, it's time to "Make America Nixon Again".

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I think It will be a long time before I can look at off-topic again. Shit's gotten so depressing there and it ruins my mood.

On a different note, I'm actually curious as to how many people on ToonamiGAF looked to see what it took to move to Canada. Seems like people are a lot more serious about getting out of America at some point, for good reason.

 

[Zonic]

I think I need to take a break from Off-Topic as well. I don't even know why I click on some of the threads when I know they're just going to be a downer.

Also, bummer, it sounds like I might be missing Toonami tomorrow now.....friend sent me a last-minute "omg switch shifts with me plz" text. & I can't record them since I don't have DVR anymore. Adult Swim should have each episode up individually for me to watch if I just log in with my Charter info, correct?

Edit: Yeaaahhhh, I'll probably only be able to stick around for DBZ & Jojo, will have to miss IBO, HxH (freakin' hell, & after 3 weeks of waiting for a "new" episode"), & One Piece.

 

[bigkrev]

I might miss this week because I'll be subjecting people to the Animal Crossing Amiibo game, but I'll make every effort to be back for HxH

 

[Zonic]

So in exchange for missing out on 2/3rds of Toonami & not getting out to hang out with you guys to instead cover a shift, I get to "borrow" (to which probably means "keep it until you finish it, I never got the time to play it") Digimon: Cyber Sleuth from my friend.

Equivalent Exchange??

 

[Jarate]

Nixon was actually a fairly good president, he was just a paranoid mess of a man

Was by far our best post ww2 international affairs president

Indeed. I don't even want to browse in that section for a long time.

 

[Moaradin]

Really looking forward to HxH tomorrow. After 3 weeks of waiting, we'll finally get a new opening and GOAT ending. This arc should be a fun time.

 

[ckohler]

So, in other news, I traded up for a PS4 Pro this week. So far, it's great. I can see the improvements even if they aren't mind blowing. Some VR games look sharper as well.

Cool, but I was under the impression that the opening doesn't change much.

Aw crap, that's right, there was even a new OP & ED this week as well.

At the very least, I get to watch Jojo with everyone. I mainly want to see reactions to that before I have to go in & cover my friend's shift.

We get V2 of the ending and it is more or less the same lyrically. Visuals change with the arcs. Endings change radically. Personally my favorite ending is Black and White but it will be a while before we get to that.

 

[Moaradin]

It's still the same song (a different verse), but the visuals are completely different. The ED is a new song and visuals.

All the upcoming EDs in HxH are great. This one is just super hype and pumps you up for the next episode. The other ones are very good as well and fit their respective arcs.

An ending that is better than Galneryus? Not possible.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I would love for Trump to get impeached, but then I remember that Pence is the VP.

Fuck.

 

[Regiruler]

I don't recall Pence having a completely asinine concept of foreign policy, so that's already a plus.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I would love for Trump to get impeached, but then I remember that Pence is the VP.

Fuck.

If he gets into power, the LGBTQ community has a legit case for asylum in LGBTQ friendly countries. Torturing Gay people straight; not a chance countries like Canada send them back with that possibility awaiting them.

After such an air of negativity this week I think it is healthy to blow off some steam and enjoy some Toonami.

After all, can you hear the froggy song?

[BBboy20]

I see a news post on Facebook about how someone put a goddamn Nazi Flag up on top of their house after Trump's victory, then someone posting those damn "message images" (because god forbid you actually type your message out) about how people are hypocrites that're "spreading hate" & "degrading people" because they're not happy about Trump being president

I still remember the Tea Party protests. Ugly shit.

Funny thing is those post are STILL coming in even after the first page of greyed out names.

 

[Line_HTX]

Watched the 3rd episode finally. So many good sentences and one-liners.

This dub keeps getting better and better.

I prefer this cut up version of Sonochi no Sadame. It's not an awkward cut.

 

[SAB CA]

This is a much needed uplifting post. You're as inspiring as your drawings, SAB CA!

*Salutes

That Sonochi no Sadame cut is pretty jarring, but I'm kinda glad it worked out that way. As long as we get SOME part of Jojo's OP or ED's fully, I can deal with it.

I'm actually looking forward to JoJo as if I haven't seen this stuff before... which feels really weird. It's just a fun show, and the reactions derived from it are always golden.

Yeah, OT is really, really toxic to my mental health right now. Avoiding it is a good idea, sadly.

I think a lot of people need to sit back, relax, let their emotions fall back down to normal levels, and start thinking rationally. Even considering who and what I am, I'm definitely starting to regain my confidence and mood. And if I can do that, I think it's definitely doable for others to do the same.

As for Toonami... gosh, I've still got so much to catch up on, despite only really watching HxH and Jojo. Also doesn't help that my cable box didn't record last week.

Tonight on Toonami, TOM tries to escape from the tremor worm, Super Saiyan 2 Gohan takes out his rage on the Cell Juniors, the now homeless JoJo encounters a strange man named Will Anthonio Zeppeli who senses an extraordinary power within him--a power linked to the diabolical stone mask, Tekkadan picks a fight with the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Fleet because Kudelia really wants to meets Connor McDavid (that's gotta be the only explanation for where they're going, right?), Gon and Killua arrive at the Heavens Arena and begin their careers as gladiators to make some cash and build their strength for the battles ahead but it turns out there may be even more for them to learn here than they anticipated, Sasuke continues to chase after Itachi but Naruto's group is catching up to him, the Straw Hats continue to wear down Oars while the Warlord Bartholomew Kuma tries to get some information from Perona (and offers her a vacation in the process), and One Punch Man returns as Saitama and Genos pay a visit to the House of Evolution.

So the Toonami Show Rundown had a nearly 3 hour episode this week where we were joined by Sketch of the Toonami Faithful Podcast. We talked about the movie, Young Justice season 3, Dragon Ball Super, and we also went into a really long segment about how they shut down those Adult Swim message boards, which sorta spun off into the history of our podcast and I guess general feelings about the Toonami community. (Don't worry, you all got a shout out as a pretty good place to be).

I think it's a pretty good episode if anyone has the time to listen to this monstrous thing.
