They're so good that they made us watch Tenchi Muyo GXP!

What on earth are you talking about?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

so by "Toonami opening", what would an example of that be?

 

[BassForever]

I feel like Greed's character was completely wasted in the 03 anime, also

Spoiler

even though he was technically weakened this is the first character Ed has legit killed in either series correct?

so by "Toonami opening", what would an example of that be?

RISE! CHEW YOUR SALT!

 

[mhs004]

Didn't Viz make that shitty Naruto opening?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

RISE! CHEW YOUR SALT!

that the only one? i've been thinking of the Kenshin ending, but i'm not sure if that's the same.

 

[MetatronM]

Didn't Viz make that shitty Naruto opening?

Yes.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

think anyone could tweet DeMarco and ask him if there are any past examples of a Toonami opening or ending?

Spoiler

too bad Lust left him "rock" hard

The power of more syndicated family guy Toonami

Also this episode is a horrible mess, the story jumps between

- Ed/Al/Winry in the present with some girl
- Lust and Lujon in the present
- Lust and Lujon in the past

It makes it hard to follow because every time it jumps to Lust/Lujon it takes 30 seconds to realize if they're in the present or the past

 

[Zonic]

Don't remember him.

I THINK he was the dude who

Spoiler

tried to bring a woman back from the grave because he was engaged to her and cure the town of a disease, & then Lust be all "I can make that happen".

...or this Wiki page on him. Obviously, spoilers.

 

[lazybones18]

Spoiler

Fossil disease! That's what it was

 

[foxuzamaki]

JYB voices this character

How did he even pull that off
also togashi is such a troll with the gender of his characters as I found out in hunterxhunter, carrying over from YYH

 

[foxuzamaki]

Damn, that seems really impressive. That's really impressive, right?

I guess

 

[Levyne]

Don't sound so enthusiastic

 

[BassForever]

Replace scene with episode

enthusiasm is for the enthusiastic.

the original press release describes them as "remarkable"

 

[lazybones18]

Finally got one final grade (passed the class), just waiting on the second grade

 

[Man God]

It's actually a pretty cool filler episode especially if you like Lust.

what kind of sick monster would not like Lust?

 

[BassForever]

It's actually a pretty cool filler episode especially if you like Lust.

I like Lust for her deep plot, the way I like quiet a few characters, even if DTL doesn't understand (see my twitter conversation with him from earlier today)

 

[foxuzamaki]

yes, dat deep plot

 

[Man God]

She is one of the more well rounded, well developed characters in that version of FMA.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I actually agree

 

[Man God]

I'm being serious! 100%! It's not even really up for debate!

 

[BassForever]

These dirty beaters exiles, they better never show their face here again

 

[Seda]

FMA Lust is definitely a more sophisticated character than FMAB Lust.

 

[MikeMyers]

Lust is developed all right...


....wait, you mean in personality?

 

[Man God]

FMA Lust is definitely a more sophisticated character than FMAB Lust.

Seda likes older woman confirmed!

 

[MikeMyers]

Seda is in Team Kikyo bandwagon then.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

we gonna have a new thread before Summer Wars?

 

[BassForever]

Woah different intro for a Mustang focused episode

 

[Seda]

we gonna have a new thread before Summer Wars?

I dunno. We'd probably overshoot 20k past the night, but not by too much. I think Akira night was about 2700 posts.
