Man, Ping Pong is so good.

And despite what some people say, I actually find its art style delightful.

 

[Moaradin]

I love how Ping Pong looks

 

[Raxus]

Happy Toonami day everyone. Should be a decent night. Too bad we have one more episode of One Piece filler.

 

[Moaradin]

Great episode of Naruto tonight.

 

[Line_HTX]

Maybe I shouldn't be asking this since it's so soon, but collectively how was everyone's reaction to Parasyte after 1 episode?

 

[Moaradin]

Seemed pretty positive. Most were surprised that the dub wasn't completely terrible like Akame ga Kill.

 

[Line_HTX]

I don't know if I should feel good about it, but I like terrible Sentai dubs. Brings out the laughter.

That being said, I did appreciate their dub of Ghost Hound some years back. I freaked out a few times.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I think I should watch the first episode of Parasyte today if only because I'll be joining in on every other show on Toonami late tonight. Where are we with Dragon Ball Kai BTW?

 

[Hellwarden]

Goku just buried Vegeta after Frieza killed him for mouthing off about that whole super saiyan myth a bit too much.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Goku just buried Vegeta after he mouthed off about that whole super saiyan myth a bit too much.

So right when the Frieza-Goku fight starts. That sounds like a good place to start watching IMO.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I feel like the flow of the block with Michiko pushed back and Parasyte added in works out surprisingly well

 

[Line_HTX]

Ahh, so it's like Michiko at 1:30 ET is like starting to slow down and relax into the back half of the block.

thats because yuasa is fucking based

 

[skLaFarebear]

Most likely missing the early parts of toonami cuz my destiny raid ran longer than i thought and we're finishing up tonight.

No matter what happens though, im there for the real star of tonight

Spoiler

non-canon one piece

 

[BassForever]

Still need to watch last weeks Naruto

 

[Regiruler]

Naruto has been a block highlight for the past few weeks now IMO. I hope it stays this strong for a good while.

 

[Moaradin]

Tonight's Naruto episode is probably one of the best in the series. Same Director as the other really good one a few weeks ago.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Today is actually Naruto's birthday. Like the character and whatnot. Let's celebrate!

 

[Hellwarden]

Oh yeah...I remember tonight's episode of Shippuden.

It's one of those few episodes where they apparently remembered they had an animation budget.

 

[Man God]

Today is actually Naruto's birthday. Like the character and whatnot. Let's celebrate!

I don't believe it.

 

[kewlmyc]

I wonder if that scene in Parasyte will be censored or not tonight.

 

[Hellwarden]

So, I don't really read much manga, not because of a lack of desire, but more because it's an expensive hobby. (I can barely afford an anime subscription right now.)

That said Yen Press apparently recently licensed the Space Dandy manga...

...Yeah, I'm gonna get that.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Next get the Cowboy Bebop manga!

 

[Moaradin]

I wonder if that scene in Parasyte will be censored or not tonight.

Spoiler

penis hand?

 

[kewlmyc]

Yeah.

*reads more of the AgK manga*

Wow, this translation also uses "Trump Card" a lot. It's like the writer couldn't think of a better term.

Didn't it get established in this thread that that's literally what that word means ._.

It includes us talking about the Parasyte opening for much longer than we should!

I kinda like it

Gave this a listen to this morning while working through my 3rd shift. I have to say, based on from the episodes that I've heard, feels like most of my opinions align with what you guys voice but still great to hear different opinions.

& had no idea Sabin (Digimon, Power Rangers, etc.) was bringing Precure over, though OMG "Glitter Force"?!

Hooray, people listen!

And I have NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in Precure but I really need to watch an episode of that on Netflix when it comes up just to see if they Americanized the shit out of it.

 

[Zonic]

Yeah, I tend to listen to all the Toonami Faithful podcasts because it helps past the time at work & makes it so I don't go through my music as much. Plus there's laughs to be had at times, helping with the mood.

I'm kind of starting to run out of podcasts/past episodes to listen to, need to start finding more. I think right now, I have 3 (2 being the ones I mentioned above).

Wow, this translation also uses "Trump Card" a lot. It's like the writer couldn't think of a better term.

I think it was mentioned it was in the original Japanese language as well, but I think the translators of both the manga & anime versions should've had a thesaurus so it didn't turn into a drinking game/counting gag.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I was so damn tempted to see how many times "big bro" was mentioned in last week's One Piece, but that would involve wanting to actually rewatch that episode.

We bitch about Sentai but Saban is far worse as a dub company

 

[BatDan]

People may have nostalgia for Digimon Adventure, but looking back at it, the dub was awful. Constant jokes, characters acting meaner than intended, a lot of weird lines.

The recent dub of Xros Wars suffered many of the problems of 90's dubs. Lull destruction (nobody shuts up!), awful replaced music, weird name changes (Liillthmon became Laylamon, even though Lillithmon had already been introduced in games). I do not want them to touch the Adventure Tri movies.

I don't expect "Glitter Force" to be any good either. Couldn't they have picked a better name? I know Pretty Cure is Engrish as fuck but... actually, when 4Kids temporarily had the rights, they still called it Pretty Cure. I also heard that the series will be 40 episodes, meaning it will cut episodes for no reason.

At least Power Rangers Dino Charge has been pretty good.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Great episode of Naruto tonight.

What episode was it?

 

[Moaradin]

What episode was it?

Episode 85

 

[Raxus]

Is it the return of that animator?

If so all aboard the hype train!

 

[Zonic]

Eva 3.33 confirmed for Feb. 2nd

....for really reals & officially official this time around?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I wonder if they realized the disappointment is just going to be worse with all the anticipation they've built up

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Episode 85

Oh shit. Those are some of my favourite episodes as well, especially the fight scenes. Animation is soo good.

 

[Hellwarden]

Eva 3.33 confirmed for Feb. 2nd

I think that might just be a rumor going around that someone started.

Funi doesn't have any news of it anywhere.

 

[SigmasonicX]

About the Saban Pretty Cure dub, wasn't there already a dub of the first series that aired only in Canada? I remember hearing that despite changing the names of the main characters, it was a pretty decent dub.

 

[Hellwarden]

Okay, I take it back, apparently 3.33 is coming out early next year.

February 2nd apparently.

 

[Zonic]

So 3.33 for Toonami in 2016, right?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Okay, I take it back, apparently 3.33 is coming out early next year.

February 2nd apparently.

I'll believe it when it's in my hands.

 

[Zonic]

HEY GUYS, WANT MIGI ON YOUR HAND?!?

Spoiler

I was reminded by Oni's podcast

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I NEED IT

 

[Raxus]

I love how horrifying/adorable migi is.

 

[BassForever]

I should probably make time to watch last weeks Naruto... but damn Negima is so good I can't stop :X

There was a dub that aired here but it wasn't done by Saban. It was done by YTV with Blue Water. I want to say either 13 or 26 episodes were dubbed before they stopped.
