watching episode 1 of Big O right now.
something about the voices seems...off. Blum's tone doesn't seem to match the dialogue Roger actually has; he's calm and collected when the character doesn't sound like he should be. weird.

well, that's the thing. Roger's manner of speech isn't really Batman or Bruce Wayne, and that's what Blum seems to be going for when his dialogue fits more with a typical film noir protagonist. it's a strange contrast. never really noticed it until this viewing for some reason.

I remember driving with my parents from the east coast all the way to California when I was a kid, and this was before i-devices and such existed. Now that was a boring trip.

Owwww, gameboys.
Did you guys know that the last 2 chapters of Deadman Manga came out? Which probably means the anime gets a season 2.

Day long trips (or nearly day long trips) are breeze these days, though I really couldn't imagine them before I had a million electronics, though my last (sometimes first) resort was always to sleep.
So without going back and reading through 15 pages, did anybody else think that this was a pretty darn good episode of IGPX?
It's like they actually remembered what the show was supposed to be about and adequately executed hype and constantly rising action throughout the episode. Hooray for competence!

If the entire series was more like the last two episodes I doubt people would be so down on it. When they bother to do the actual racing it's pretty awesome.
Not just doing the racing but having the background events tie into the actual race is something this show should have been doing from the beginning.
And having the race feel like it actually MEANT something didn't hurt.

It's not IGPX without SOME writing stumble, though. The foreshadowing for The Rocket was comically blunt, and I don't think the bit with the worm had any suspense

IGPX has been great the last 3 weeks
Let us not go crazy with the praise, it has been watchable.

Last week was good. The week before that was alright. 3 weeks ago was no better than any other of the mediocre episodes since it tried to make us care about the romance with no buildup at all.

When you start at the bottom you can only go up
I feel like the main problem is they did one real draft of the show then sent it off to be made. When you watch it with this in mind it starts to make sense. The first few episodes they try and capture the tone of the miniseries. They discover that doesn't work and switch it up so there is more action but never go back and fix the first bit.

Nice to see the site a little more fleshed out. And hey, Pacific Rim money!
the q&a sessions remind me of the bullshit going on in the rest of the business right now, ill try and explain it as simple as possible.
DeMarco is working on 16 different other projects at one time. When they did these q&a's everyday the same questions get asked about DBZ and the like. They stopped because of time and pretty much annoyingness.
But then again, the audience means well but their history and even there emotions have been played with by folks who only saw them as dollar signs (which was the whole fucking concept of the motherfucking E/I edict was supposed to prevent but has done nothing and now even with the new expanded COPPA act it still will never solve the problem).
The issue is and I see it every day - even the language gives it away - is the fact the audience has been for better or worse (I believe for the absolute worse) entranced by crunchyroll, s-complex and MAL and the new "lifestyles" that those 4 sites along with 4chan have created over the last several years.
But what makes me pissed about all this is that for those who don't go for this life style and so on, and were fans of toonami - some of them are also fans of digimon/power rangers and think Saban was better than 4Kids (or Al Kahn per se) and said (and this is what I heard from Gaf too) that Saban was going to bring SatAM back. So some of these questions dealing with DBZ (and I even heard a question about power rangers and thankfully Demarco dismissed it) was just stupid, and for this simple reason:
Some 60 year old dude, who married a playboy model; and who is a bitch boy for the democratic party, doesn't really give a flying fuck if the fans loved digimon/power rangers or not. He didn't even really care about the Voice Actors on his show/Actors on his show. All he cared about was his cash period. And that's a fact!
So for these anons (crunchyroll hounds IMO) keep talking about when you bringing this and when you doing that - don't understand that DeMarco does it for free and it isn't a JOB because this is what he loves PERIOD. Its the same with Danny Choo and his moekanji stuff. DeMarco's Free work, has outdone anything Crunchyroll will ever do, despite the all and out cheating Crunchyroll did (and yet somehow, Kim Dot Com got raided for MUCH less than what Crunchyroll has done)
And yet, somehow - the Saban Apologist's and the Crunchyroll fans and fuck even some of those rareafied 4Kids fans say "shit was better back in the day and only if we can have it back"
No, you cant have it back. Because now the whole fucking business has just WENT back in the day to get more money out of nostalgia and its has fucking failed outside of a few franchises!
If I was DeMarco honestly - I wouldn't even do anymore Q&A's outside of comic-con or other events where I can see some of these anons faces in person and tell me how Good Saban or Crunchyroll is to my fucking face!

Your weekly ratings scorecard is in:
And has the official ADHD lineup on Fox ever been posted? I'll put it just to show it won't really be going against Toonami.

Aww yiss. The block is doing great lately. Even IGPX is doing what One Piece used to do. I kinda wish SE would also do a mil, but it's still doing pretty darn good.

Was SE consistently doing 1 mill + before OP kicked it back a half hour or is OP just a bigger draw?
