Happy B day Santurai Jack.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Not for 6 months.

Still older than me, Doc.

 

[BassForever]

Not for 6 months.

So you're a few months older then me (will be 25 in October)

 

[Levyne]

Us old guys have to stick together.

 

[Schadenfreude]

You oldsters will never last in this new age of pirates Toonami.

I'm going to be 26 in March.

I'm so close to death.

Damn seems like some of you guys will never get to see the ending of One Piece.

It's gonna be hard for Oda to live up to the hype he's been building all these years over One Piece (the treasure). Maybe he'll pull a fast one and end the series by not showing us what One Piece actually is.

Nah It's been made pretty clear that the truth behind OP will drastically alter the world when it's found, no way Oda doesn't show it

But can his writing skills pay the bills, Bass? Can they!?!?!/

Considering his writing skills built a merchandise empire that could almost rival Nintendo... yes.

Ehhh, Oda is a good writer, but even the most skilled writer in the world would have trouble with this one. I'm just saying it's gonna be really hard.

I've known a lot of people that didn't like the final HP book. Never read Tolkien's stuff and i've only watched the first LotR movie. Besides, neither of them invested as much time into their work as Oda has with his. 20 plus years of build-up (eventually) for one reveal. Lot to live up to.

I think Oda can handle it.

I'd say Tolkien's worked on his stuff more, the guy spent his entire life after WWI writing about the world of LOTR.

Your question was if a writer alone could pay the bills and make a merchandise empire by themselves, Harry Potter has it's own theme park and so many toys, games, movies, and such it's unreal, same with LotR minus the theme park.

Seriously, bass? It's an expression. I was not literally asking if his writing skills could support him. I was saying if he had the chops to live up to the hype he's been building for almost 2 decades now. You sure you're okay, man?

No I'm not, this FMA 03 ending is so dumb it makes my hurt inside

lol Speaking of robots out of nowhere, the newest game in the Ultimate Ninja series includes Mecha Naruto for some reason. It's basically just a robot of Naruto. Hopefully that's not the character that Kishimoto was designing for the game.

I hope it is, because that means he isn't planning to add such a character to the actual canon story, I wouldn't put it past him with how stupid Naruto's story has gotten

Happy birthday! Enjoy the non-presents you'll receive as Christmas is just next week!

Also lol at that latest Toonami Tumblr post. It will take literally years until we see this scene. They don't even have the English dub. for that scene.

 

[BassForever]

I do like Bone's take on the kingdom that vanished over night, though I don't get this sudden Edward and Rose relationship out of nowhere.

 

[Levyne]

Hell, it'll take years to simply get to Pain. Which is where I stopped watching.

Wait, I mean it's where I would have stopped watching. If I watched anime.

Apparently Summer Wars averaged over 1 million for it's whole run

That is interesting. Then again they did not have a half hour dragging things down.

Uh Tolkien spent his whole life writing about Middle Earth and never actually finished it before he died. The Silmarillion was published in its incomplete state posthumously.

[Shard]

FLCL and Clone Wars seem to have higher ratings then usual.

 

[Levyne]

Holy moly

 

[Branduil]

With those kinds of numbers Summer Wars must have been pulling well over 1.5 million at the beginning.

 

[Zonic]

Awesome to see Summer Wars did so well. Probably helped that it was a bit shorter compared to Akira.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Nice job Summer Wars.

 

[BassForever]

Damn Summer Wars killed it, 800k for Clone Wars at 3:00AM is also pretty awesome. Wonder how much better it'll do at 5:00AM. Honestly if I were Toonami I'd switch InuYasha and Clone Wars, that way kids who get up a bit later then 5 can still see it

Spoiler

and Toonami GAF can all go to bed at 5:30

I was referring to the main trilogy, not his collected works. It's not like he stopped after Two Towers, wrote a bunch of stuff in between and then wrote Return of the King many years later.

Madre de Dios. Summer Wars did gangbusters.

DA fuck?

People need to use apostrophes when abbreviating years so I don't think you're watching the 3rd episode of FMA over and over

Good job Summer Wars, you deserve it.
