But every episode is like this.

Good in spite of its faults and more than the sum of its parts?

 

[Jintor]

Batou is fucking shit at stealth

Oh god girl dubbing is terrible

 

[joe2187]

This guy really looks like Vigo

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So this dude just randomly stalks kids for fun, huh

 

[Crash Station]

I wanna say there are better shounen out there but I can't think of one. Sadly, FMA is in the top tier of the genre.

If we're talking manga, there's hundreds. If we're talking anime, there's still a lot.

 

[Jintor]

Watch the chat flip out about the chair is awesome

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Be thankful that's all he does this ep, considering the last one...

Shounen is a demographic, not a genre.

 

[Future Foundation]

Not the Major, Batou. Aka White Geordi.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Risette]

No, "bad."

 

[Edgeward]

Oh, I see where this is going.

 

[789shadow]

No one talks like that.

 

[Branduil]

That's ridiculous hyperbole even by cosmic standards.

Shounen is a demographic, not a genre.

True, although I'd say "battle shounen" is a reasonably distinct genre.

 

[Jintor]

What the shit Batou

 

[ThatObviousUser]

No, "bad."

Well you can go and follow Regulus Tera on your way out then! >:|

 

[bananas]

"Papa came tonight."

Gross.

 

[joe2187]

I got it, her dad is the terrorist.

 

[Crash Station]

That's ridiculous hyperbole even by cosmic standards.

Okay, you're right, but there are a good amount.

 

[Jintor]

Writes in german, speaks english

HOW DO YOU LET A WHEELCHAIR GIRL CLIMBING THE STAIRS SNEAK UP ON YOU

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Why is he stalking this girl so hard

and why do I get the feeling she's just so happen to have some kind of a relationship with the faceless guy?

 

[789shadow]

This is bad.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

AWESOME COMMERCIAL TIME

 

[MetatronM]

This episode is weird because it's one of the best in terms of tone and atmosphere but one of the worst in terms of story and plot.

Seems an accurate summation so far.

 

[MetatronM]

Old School Promo

 

[joe2187]

That commercial made me want to throw my TV out the window

 

[MuddyDonut]

The montage thingy is using this song for those interested.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So, 7 minutes of exposition, and protagonist guy just kinda STUMBLES onto the plot on a hunch to stalk a random girl he saw who just so happens to be the daughter of this episode's badguy.

This is not good.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Old School Promo

Memories. :'(

 

[Jintor]

Wow Batou, you are a terrible cop today

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Major to the rescue.

 

[789shadow]

This is not a good episode.

 

[Edgeward]

Motoko is so awesome. My heart flutters

 

[Jintor]

lol Major ex Machina

 

[joe2187]

Fucked up yo...

 

[Jintor]

Ho dammmmmmn

Lilly noooooooooooooooo

these feels

 

[789shadow]

Batou is a dick.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I also really like this ending song, too.

 

[The Frankman]

"The Major" is a dick.

fixed for ya.

 

[Branduil]

So, uh, what was the present?

 

[Jintor]

Terrible plot and story with sudden twist feels

 

[zero_suit]

3..2..1 Let's jam!

 

[Beelzeboss]

Damn Spike chew your food

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Well, what a completely unearned conclusion.

At least Cowboy Bebop is next.

 

[Future Foundation]

Fuck, that was so goddamn cold. Bebop's next!

 

[Edgeward]

Man, that's fucked up, Batou

 

[joe2187]

I dont get it...

So they have all this pointless narrative about the terrorist and capturing him, then drag his little girl into it and...no other explanation as to a motive?

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!? WHAT'S IN THE BOX!

Pulp fiction that shit

 

[Misguided]

Anyone got a link to someone streaming Toonami?

 

[Branduil]

You might want to edit that out.
