Listen to snarf you idiot.

"Snarf?"

 

[Ultratech]

Dat Sword Rain Alpha!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

BS sword skills go!!

Being character based didn't stop this series from being incredibly boring. Just like samurai 7 is boring despite its source material.

Samurai 7 is boring because it isn't character based lol. It's a lot more plot-driven, it's just the way it handles the plot AND characters is doo doo.

 

[yami4ct]

Honestly releasing any episodes is catching up to Togashi too quickly. Guy likes his breaks!

Well, we're getting a 2-part Kurapika side story next month and it looks like it'll be returning for real in January. So with that, Togashi will finally be making more room. Hopefully we'll get another huge run like last time.

Willows still can't stand up to an axe.

 

[BatDan]

The references alone shouldn't be a problem. Copyright allows you to references other works. it's the fact that licensed music is worked into the actual show that makes it super difficult.

Oh I'm sure Yes wouldn't mind the use of Roundabout. Hell, they allowed it for the Japanese broadcast.

If references are allowed though... I don't get why the fighting game and the Viz manga had name changes then. Blah.

Probably the greatest sin of an anime. If you're going to be bad at least be entertaining in some way.

 

[B.K.]

Lion-O is The One! He broke the Matrix.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Matrix dodge

 

[RagnarokX]

Why didn't Gilgamesh use the master sword?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Beaten by a reed.
HUMILIATION!

 

[everyday math]

Willow sword + 1,000,000 attack power.

 

[Shard]

So, all of a sudden the Duelist can not fight for shit, right, got it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Rabbit has had enough of your shit.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

"alright, i'll just take ALL THE SWORDS IN THE WORLD and be on my way..."

Bands have different licensers for different regions. Roundabout is likely only licensed for Japan airing. That may be why we're not getting official streams.

Hopefully this is all worked out. Dear god I want JoJo on Toonami.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

And nobody or anything in this episode is mentioned again.

 

[BatDan]

Wow, Lion-O learned quite a bit. I look forward to him using this in futu- THIS IS A FUCKING FILLER EPISODE.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

So, all of a sudden the Duelist can not fight for shit, right, got it.

Nah. He's just a sore loser.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Lion-O forgot what happened already. Time for Symbionic Titan.

 

[Amikami]

And nobody or anything in this episode is mentioned again.

Nope. The character development might as well had not happened either.

 

[Raxus]

Wow, Lion-O learned quite a bit. I look forward to him using this in futu- THIS IS A FUCKING FILLER EPISODE.

I have some bad news for you about the next few episodes.

 

[Ultratech]

And nobody or anything in this episode is mentioned again.

Indeed...quite a shame.

 

[lazybones18]

Lion-O forgot what happened already. Time for The Lance Show.

fixed

 

[Raxus]

Is it Lance backstory time? One of the best episodes if memory serves me correctly.

 

[B-Dubs]

Time for Lance's origin story. It started years ago in Gotham City, after a viewing of Zorro in the infamous Crime Alley...

 

[BatDan]

I have some bad news for you about the next few episodes.

I know. The plot actually picks up with the Berbils, and those Elephant things.
I've seen the show before.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Time for Lance's origin story. It started years ago in Gotham City, after a viewing of Zorro in the infamous Crime Alley...

and then The Joker asked his family something about moonlight and shot them in the face

(i am totally kidding)

 

[Ultratech]

Oh hey, it's the white-bearded guy!

 

[Shard]

Ah yes, it is Lance's origins.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, commercials on Toonami are not forgiving. Barely had time to get a snack.

 

[LycanXIII]

All while trying to solve Panthro's "predicament."

 

[everyday math]

Awwww

 

[Amikami]

Well that's depressing.

 

[B-Dubs]

We've got some feels early this week.

 

[Shard]

Prepare for Brooding.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i forgot how the big bad looks like a redesign of Gorilla Grodd

 

[TheChits]

I remember really liking this episode

 

[Baroni9]

Why does Young Lance look like a stereotypical British Orphan?

Edit: Because he is one. Got it.

 

[Jafku]

God I hate the rival kid in this episode. Such a douche

 

[ThatObviousUser]

and then The Joker asked his family something about moonlight and shot them in the face

(i am totally kidding)

Ssshhh, that never happened. It was just a fever dream Tim Burton had one night, and then he was laughed out of the scriptwriter's room because it was the dumbest idea ever.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Lance is so moe

 

[Parallax]

Samurai 7 is boring because it isn't character based lol. It's a lot more plot-driven, it's just the way it handles the plot AND characters is doo doo.

Being character based(is this like being character driven?) doesn't make or break a series.

 

[everyday math]

Oh shit!!!!

 

[Schadenfreude]

So they sent him to military school. Asshole King.

 

[Ultratech]

Damn...

 

[Shard]

You could cut a check on that nose.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Ugly kid, what did Gonzo do this series?

Being character based(is this like being character driven?) doesn't make or break a series.

Nope, but handling them like poo poo does.

 

[Jafku]

The sidekick is also a wimp loser

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

His roommate is Dexter
