they have 90 minutes pretty prominent there
well, i'm not necessarily saying to cut it off right at the fight. the card game and maybe even some other stuff can be incorporated in there somewhere, but suspense movies (at least least movies with a lot of suspenseful parts) should be paced in such a way that the most impressive parts come last. and i don't think that was the case here, which is why everything ultimately being decided by a card game was a disappointment. the fight scenes were the most impressive suspenseful part of this movie to me, so putting them in the middle before something like a card game was just...weird.
that reminds me. Did we go through an entire night without a Shirley Temple commercial?
in other news, TV Guide has a Cowboy Bebop marathon listed after Trigun. pleasegodnopleasegodnopleasegodno (this seems like something they'd just say to cover their tracks, but still)
Rechecked my blu-ray copy, it has that "90 minutes of intense donut eating action", but then runtime says 137 minutes. I guess they added up the bonus feature stuff.
So is there anything I need to know about trigun before I watch the movie??
SPECIAL FEATURES:I was wondering if it was something like this, do you know what the bonus stuff is? Not only does that week have the Bebop marathon but has Trigun running for 3 hours. Kind of screwy, maybe they just haven't bothered to put in the correct schedule.
Considering Funimation's site has two listings for runtime, one for the main feature & one including the special features, I think the Blu-Ray version just combined the runtime for both of them since it's on one disc while the DVD version has 2 discs.I loaded it up on Netflix and scrolled to the end. 90 minutes, 35 seconds. So unless that version is heavily edited the Blu-Ray release must be counting all the content on the disc.
This dude Vash is a wanted criminal and an awesome gunslinger but also a pacifist. This dude Wolfswood is his buddy and also a priest and his giant cross is basically a portable armoury. Merril and Milly are insurance agents who are trying to prevent Vash from causing tremendous property damage but basically end up as his friends.
Together, they fight crime!
...insofar as anyone can fight crime on a planet that is pretty much Wild West: the Planet

vash is a true bro, but everyone is against him. Also he is a plant.
I thought I sent this like forever ago but the waiting 60 seconds before posting screwed that up
.. how has this been 18 pages already? The fuck?

Whaaaa? Or do you not mean this in the literal sense?
Toonami is like the most powerful thread over here in the communities. Just look how many threads we've been in just a little over a year and compare that to others like the manga thread. And we're only getting faster at getting through them.

toonamigaf is getting too powerful for its own good.
Toonami is sort of like China: that short period of irrelevance is over and we're returning to our powerhouse status.
No, I mean he is a plant
Toonami will only get bigger when Space Dandy comes.
he's a tomato?
I wonder how much this thread will explode when Final Act is announced.
Something like this.
10 pages here. Get on my level, 50 ppp plebs.
Something like this.
Something like this.
I really dropped off
Something like this.
It seemed to fit the way the movie seems to turn so many expectations on their head. We had a powerful family full of warrior blood full of strong women, the Hikkimori shut in actually being good at real world marital arts and NOT a pastey-faced shut-in, the guy the most popular girl in school pines for is a math nerd, a whole world basically accepting Anime-Second Life as a manageable and reasonable way to wire society, and Grandma being a take-charge, strong willed woman who gets things done, rather than slowly decaying in her old age, and needing everyone else to lead her about...
It was all very weird. I would have ended up a bit disappointed if they did anything in too plain a way.
I wish I could post enough to make the top Toonami posters, but I don't have enough chops to keep up with some of the weekday discussion.
It's....informative at times, though.
I didn't post all too much during Summer Wars, it was pretty entertaining to just read the reactions as I watched the movie.
