Toonami |OT8| Our Summer War Game

I liked it but it was mostly due to how boring
FI
was in comparison.

That being said like Skypia I felt PH was mostly set up and lo and behold it was.

Fishman Island
has some good stuff in it like
the stuff with Fisher Tiger
, but it just takes so damn long and none of the fights are very interesting.

Blah I mean Wiper -.-

haha ok. i dunno, i really enjoyed the huge clusterfuck in the ruins around the beanstalk and the flashback was great even if it was poorly placed. my only problem with the Shandorians was how quickly everything was forgiven in the end.

I agree but there are reasons for that. Still it too was mostly set up for future arcs. Some good stuff too
I still laugh at Cryhoshi and can't wait for her to come back.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
There were parts of
Fishman Island
that I liked, and I can see why people dislike it.
Oda hyped it for years, and it wasn't as massive and epic as we thought it would be. The villains were only there to be jobbed.

Punk Hazard
was a step in the right direction. It helps that it set up
Dressrosa, which is shaping up to be HUGE

I'm still wondering if Monet is alive...

Gucci noooo

It makes sense to me. The 5 am hour has generally been reserved, whenever possible, for shows that can segue back into the younger audience of regular Cartoon Network when it starts at 6. It doesn't always work out that way for one reason or another, but when they can, that's usually what they aim for. That's why Inuyasha is there now, because IY always had a pretty young skewing audience. Clone Wars fits in that graveyard slot just fine, too. In fact, I'd almost consider putting Inuyasha at 5 and Clone Wars at 5:30. I assume the only reason they're not is simply due to the ages of the shows.

Clone Wars was also pretty disruptive to the general flow of the block in the slot that it was in. It's a big stylistic and tonal shift smack in the middle of the lineup. Makes more sense to switch that out than one of the more established shows like FMA and GITS.

Good points.

this is true.

also, how the hell is Naruto trying to push the "hard work pays off" angle when Naruto's powers were given to him from birth?

This is a major problem with Naruto in general, and why I think Rock Lee should have been a main character.

seriously, is the show really gonna try to tell me this when
Rock Lee got fucked up by Gaara who also got his powers due to having a demon thing inside him
?

It's not like the Nine Tailed Fox did him any favors growing up. In fact, if it weren't for the huge amounts of chakra the thing gives off, Naruto could probably have been a great ninja on his own. Remember that explanation Ebisu gave last week? The reason Naruto sucks at basic jutsu is because he doesn't know how to control that massive amount of power. They gave a kid a battery but didn't tell him how to use it. Naruto had to work extra hard to get to where he is because the people of the village are jerks.

i was under the impression the reason that his chakra was out of whack was because of Orochimaru's seal
 
Naruto has always had that problem. Remember his faulty clones at the beginning of the show? Or the trouble he had climbing the tree?

but that was the entire reason Jiraiya went to the trouble of removing the seal. he just sucked before.

and even then, hard work or not, it's still hard work to harness an ability that makes him superior from birth.

I just realized that means we STILL have to spoiler tag Naruto Part 1 stuff now.

Team 7 Vs. Garra Sakura gets owned in 1 hit lol

Judging by his posts in the Pachter thread, I'd say it was in there. You've really gotta fuck up to get banned in a community sports thread.

One could post porn, like a sex tape with a sports star.
Though that would be more for account suicides/meltdowns, and a very VERY bad idea.
 
This is a major problem with Naruto in general, and why I think Rock Lee should have been a main character.

It worked in part 1 because despite his over flowing powers Naruto was a clown and an outcast which meant he was behind the others. At least his natural power main character hax is explained in universe and not just because he's the main character

Maybe I missed a post or two but nothing he said in that thread is especially outrageous or offensive so I don't know why he'd get banned for that. Granted the whole thread is kind of dumb since Patcher is basically advising Nintendo give away games or graft a F2P model onto some of their classics. All terrible ideas but that isn't Gucci's fault :p

His posts in the Pachter thread could have drawn attention too eventually. Anyways back on topic.

I still need to catch up from last week. Although of course I don't need to bother with the first half of the block right away.
