There's a reason TFS scored Goku's arrival to Namek with Hulk Hogan's theme.
Also, that clip is funny knowing WWF is the only one of those that still exists. Even if it's WWE now.

It was the only one that existed at the time, too. They just decided to pretend that all the stars that they hired from these other failed companies were having a revolution or some shit.

Not only did 4Kids dub all of Ultimate Muscle, but they actually ordered more episodes of the anime after it was canceled in Japan. Although, Japanese fans were upset that this resulted in all kanji being removed from the characters' masks, so 4Kids wouldn't have to bother editing it out. There wasn't another dub.
(Also, avatar change)

This is a pretty good sale if you've been wanting to buy Jojo's and HxH manga. http://www.rightstufanime.com/holid...il&utm_term=0_20f4f39d79-8398f1948a-210870821
Yeah, I was wondering what happened to Ultimate Muscle on 4Kids. It was on for a good while, then up and disappeared.
Damn, if I JUST didn't order two books & was tempted by a 30% off any item B&N item, I probably would've given in & gotten the Part 2 bundle.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Viz to confirm the Blu-Ray versions of Jojo Part 1+2 & Part 3.
Edit: I doubt it'll happen now, but I wish I could find a sale on the Black Lagoon manga since I still need to buy volumes 1, 2, & 10. 3 through 9 have been sitting on my shelf for over a year now & I haven't touched them since I don't like reading out of order.
In the 70s/80s/90s (until WCW got super hot in 97), Japan was the top country in the world for wrestling. It took a lot of money from the WWF to keep Hogan from returning to Japan because he made so much money over there.
Wrestling is currently in a down period popularity-wise in Japan- they are down to one healthy big promotion now (NJPW) when they had 3 healthy ones a decade ago, the TV situation sucks (like anime, it's on at like 1 in the morning), and he have a big star power issue- of the 3 biggest native Japanese wrestlers, one is riddled with injuries and in his 40s, one left this year for WWE, but at least the last one is young, charismatic and a great worker.

Is "the show gets bad the longer it goes on" not a common argument or is the video just kinda ignoring that? One of the common issues I've seen cited with Kill la Kill in regard to its possible budget/time constraints (and one that I've said myself) is that its visual flair dries up toward the back half of the show, as it very noticeably starts to rely more and more on that limited animation style to the point where its novelty wears off. The idea that this is related to a lack of money or a lack of time doesn't seem all that hard to buy, either, when Imaishi used it far more sparingly in something like Gurren Lagann and, again, it starts to take over the longer the show goes on in a pretty similar way to how other shows just outright deteriorate in animation quality sometimes because the early episodes took precedence.
It seems weird to not address this at all in a defense of Kill la Kill's animation when I'm definitely not the first person to say any of these things (in a video that overwhelmingly uses clips from earlier episodes of Kill la Kill, in fact).

So I've been making my way through the MCU shows on Netflix. Just started watching Luke Cage tonight, during my lunch break at work. The OST is the GOAT so far.

TOEI ended business relations with 4Kids after the One Piece debacle became too much.

Digibro really likes Kill La Kill. It's safe to say he doesn't believe it gets bad as it goes on. Whether or not he believes the limited animation style wears off or is being used more as budget constraints is something I'm not too sure of. He's made a few videos about Kill La Kill so it might be in one of them somewhere.
He mostly likes to make positive anime videos though. Which is ironic because one of his most famous videos was his one hour diatribe about why Sword Art Online sucks major donkey dick and is the worst show he's ever seen to completion.

And his series of videos of Asterisk Wars sucking. Though that also had more commentary on A-1 Pictures and the anime industries lazy trend when it comes to Light Novel adapations.
That video popped up in my feed also. I totally agree with it as well. I'm glad someone else here understands.
But Sword Art Online does suck major donkey dick. The best thing you can say about it is that it makes a pretty good hate watch.
Also since you all asked for my opinion, Kill la Kill isn't that great, even though Mako and her family are phenomenal.

No one said it didn't.
This joke wasn't funny the first time WHY WOULD IT BE FUNNY 500 MORE TIMES?!

Toonami should just become a dedicated hatewatch block and intentionally fill up with the worst shows.
it already has one piece
Agreeing. It's actually kinda annoying, honestly.
Is Metatron going to have to post that JoJo is doing fine every week?
Maybe he should just do it preemptively.
The only show that tanked in the 12:30 slot I remember was GXP. Every other show did fine with a handful of exceptions (most notably OPM).

Spongebob when Demarco?
Figured as much.
It's the Jojo of jokes.

I agree with that analysis. Kill la Kill has some of the most energetic, funny and creative uses of composition and movement I've seen in recent anime.
I'm a man who loves my sakuga, but a lot of fight sakuga start to blend together and you start to notice similar fighting moves, stances, strikes, etc.
I wouldn't be concerned. Everything is down across the block. It's been like that for a few weeks.
Sorry, Man God, I don't mean to be rude, but I kind of have to agree.
Also PSN Black Friday sale is alright. Planning on Jojo Eyes of Heaven for $24, debating Digimon Cyber Sleuth since I can borrow the PS4 version from my friend but the Vita version is rather cheap ($12 + 10% off via coupon), but probably will wait & see if they do a flash sale this weekend.
.........man, why do I keep trying to add RPGs to my backlog.....
Pretty much, especially in December. That's kind of why I'm surprised they're not doing a marathon during Thanksgiving weekend, since most people might still be out of town & such. But they could also be skipping on doing a marathon this week in order to finish IBO & Jojo Part 1 this year as well.
