Naruto is the only shonen I know of that literally has a flashback within a flashback.

I still can't believe that happened.

 

[BassForever]

I still can't believe that happened.

Then we find out the entire series was actually a flash back that future Naruto is telling his kids

 

[BatDan]

I still can't believe that happened.

Wait, that actually happened? Oh... oh wow.

Then we find out the entire series was actually a flash back that future Naruto is telling his kids

"Kids, I'm going to tell you the story of how I met your mother! Believe it!"
"Are we being punished?"
"... No."
"Is this going to take long?"
"YES!"

Funimation and Sentai are talking to Sunrise about distribution.

So good. Hopefully the deal goes well and someone takes over releasing Turn A Gundam.

I could also use a new version of G Gundam as the DVDs aren't the best...

 

[Jintor]

I still can't believe that happened.

Oh that's not true. The Nami flashback in the Arlong arc has a further flashback back to her mother's past.

That's just a quick little explanation of where they came from. Naruto's one is full blown Naruto sized exposition bomb inside of an exposition bomb.

with the rumors that Sentai is unwilling to work with Williams Street, i'm hoping most of the good stuff goes to Funimation so we can get it on Toonami possibly.

"... No."
"Is this going to take long?"
"YES!"

"Dad none of this makes any sense. What happened to the next generation surpassing the older generation? What happened to hard work beating out inherited power? Why were you always so late to every battle?"
"Shut up, you like the Pain part right?"
"...yea..."

Beyond the impossible

I am saying this a lot in the manga now a days...

 

[BassForever]

To clarify with manga readers, when we talk about a flash back in a flash back are we talking about

NARUTO MANGA SPOILERS

Spoiler

When Sasuke asks the first to tell him the "truth" behind the village, which starts a flash back of the battle between him and Medara... which then flash backs to them as kids

Or is there another one I can't remember?

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh that's not true. The Nami flashback in the Arlong arc has a further flashback back to her mother's past.

That was more of an aside, this one was full on inception.

 

[Man God]

Frankly that's just Nami's backstory told slightly out of order.

Oh, I would love a G Gundam set. "SHUT UP RAIN" should be my message tone or something.

 

[B-Dubs]

True, but it still wasn't a full on Naruto style flashback in a flashback.

Oh, I would love a G Gundam set. "SHUT UP RAIN" should be my message tone or something.

G Gundam was my JAM back when it aired. I wish we'd get it only for how awesome it would be to see the reactions.

 

[Man God]

I just finished a rewatch of G Gundam Thursday. Still holds up. Would do great on Toonami as another show that could get redemption for a previous lackluster run on C/N.

 

[Shard]

Honestly I would rather have Gundam Unicorn.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Honestly I would rather have Gundam Unicorn.

that'd be tricky to get on TV, i think, with the episode length.

Gundam Wing or 00 is probably the best bet.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Gundam AGE, beyotches.

 

[Raxus]

Did Scott ever finish his One Piece marathon? I never could find his twitter page.

Nope, he got to Whiskey Peak

He has the DVD's he took home though and said he was going to finish the rest.

Guys, in 15 minutes we trend #OneYearOfToonami and we'll get 2 million viewers!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Gundam AGE, beyotches.

That's not funny.

 

[Seda]

So, who's ready for an hour of filler!?

 

[LycanXIII]

So, who's ready for an hour of filler!?

Two.

 

[Seda]

So, who's ready for two hours of filler!?

 

[Raxus]

Don't forget, we get to the soccer episode of Eureka 7. AKA the episode I stumbled upon one day and swore to never watch the series again.

Yay...

 

[LycanXIII]

So, who's ready for two hours of filler!?

And then IGPX and E7.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Is it like the soccer episode of Bleach?

 

[BatDan]

Soul Eater isn't filler.
Techncially, One Piece isn't filler either since it happened in the manga...

Nah that would be

Or like the soccer episode of Voltron?

 

[LycanXIII]

Soul Eater isn't filler.

It's never mentioned in the show after tonight. It's pretty much filler. But good filler.

 

[Shard]

So Toonami seeks to reward us on its newest birthday with a whole lot of pain.

 

[Seda]

Well the 5th hour tonight will be pretty great...

 

[The Frankman]

Death Note wasn't a trainwreck. The second season was, but the first part regularly got over 400k.

 

[Shard]

I don't stay for that part of Toonami.

 

[BassForever]

Death Note wasn't a trainwreck. The second season was, but the first part regularly got over 400k.

Same with Code Geass, the whole "train wreck" is series that started with incredible potential and started strong... only to collapse in on itself for whatever reason

In the case of Code Geass, it was due to the time slot switch. The show went from Otaku O' Clock to like 5 in the afternoon and that changed a lot of shit.

Again it's not a matter of why the series when south, just that it happened. All the series I mentioned had some awful second halfs

 

[mightynine]

"Amazon moon bitches got kids too."

Why did I never watch Black Dynamite?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That's not funny.

I still haven't heard a good reason why AGE is supposedly the latest in a long line of worst things evar.

 

[BatDan]

Time for the pre-show.

 

[Seda]

Some disclaimer.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I wanna see Drake and Chris Brown fight like this.

 

[Shard]

Oh right, the Thugging Life episode.
