Toonami |Sep14| This is our Final Dandy, baby

Cumbersome? How so? If you have trouble keeping up may I suggest 100 posts per page. It makes keeping up with half the threads in this forum much easier since you don't have to load a new page every minute. During a Saturday night at our peak we usually only cover 500 posts per episode. There are some exceptions *glares at SAO's finale* but it never is overwhelming for me whether I am on my phone or on my laptop.

Also, if anyone or a subject is bothering you be sure to report to the mods. I have had a tremendous experience with various mods when discussions either turned dark or uncomfortable or discussing events. If they are online they are pretty quick getting back to you.

I also hope we have improved in terms of avoiding manga spoilers. I make sure to bold major spoilers to manga and warnings and even then I try to be as vague as possible in the spoiler tag. If there is someway I and others can improve and if you can state what anime/cartoon you are going in fresh on then I (at least) will make an extra effort to hold my tongue.

P.S. I still love your M'Daddy? avatar.

Hahaha, thanks for the P.S. Raxus. I don't want to raise a stink here. That wasn't my intention. To answer your questions, I use the 100 posts per page but by cumbersome I more meant that during a Saturday night the thread can jump anywhere from 10-20 pages depending on the popularity of the night. Tuesday morning when I get back into work, it became tough for me to make it back to non-Saturday discussion while also attempting to avoid spoilers for either manga or even things I had maybe gone to bed during on Saturday. It really isn't a problem with the thread, but it was just not working as well for me to attempt to keep up.

As for the spoiler issue, y'all are generally pretty good about spoiler tagging things but there were a good amount of instances (usually pictures being posted) that slipped through around the time I jumped out a few months ago. Also, the discussion at hand for awhile there was almost nothing BUT spoilers sometimes. There would be days I'd come into the thread and couldn't really contribute to anything because it was top to bottom talking about manga/anime that I hadn't seen yet. Again, no fault of the thread, I just didn't have anything to contribute, so I stopped coming around very often.

Finally, the uncomfortable feelings...this is something I actually have sent messages to at least 3 different mods about. Two of them ignored me and the third responded that they would not comment on it. So, I am not sure there is anything else to be done there. It is really an OT issue and nothing to do with this thread. ToonamiGAF generally keeps itself seperated as a nice microcosm outside of the goings on of the main OT and as such doesn't suffer from the kinds of issues. We see it happen from the outside, but those kinds of instances don't happen here often. I know I am being vague, but I don't want those problems being dragged in here.

Finally watched last week's Space Dandy, didn't care for it much outside of some of the music tracks.

Fair enough, though we do miss you and have wondered a few times where you have been so hopefully you will join us again one of these nights

Should have stuck to DBZ and named all the characters after dishes and undergarments. Better yet they could have taken One Piece's route, said fuck it and named them all easy to remember short names.

Fun fact: Everyone in One Piece is supposed to be speaking English as their natural tongue!

Wait they are? Im 50~ episodes in, I guess this makes sense.

Also yeah ive relatively followed gamersgate and it still makes no sense.

Well friends we are a couple days out from black lagoons last episode and watching Balalalalalaika completely destroy the yakazu princess, her family even further and whatever else is out there in japan

It was a fun, late as fuck to the point I said fuck it near the end, ride. Htown not the little introducing thing anymore will hurt a bit. Maybe the OVA will be put in after Hellsing and stretched out to an hour. It would help them stuff commercials in.

I think one of the ideas behind Dandy is to have him, a really incompetent, borderline stupid comedy character, go through absolutely ludicrous situations and see what happens. And while the concept of the deity ending thing is somewhat similar, they way they got there and also the reason why that happened is totally different.

There would be days I'd come into the thread and couldn't really contribute to anything because it was top to bottom talking about manga/anime that I hadn't seen yet. Again, no fault of the thread, I just didn't have anything to contribute

Pretty much me- been here a few months and I'm still quite a stranger from not having much time to browse. And when I do check in since you guys are way more knowledgeable about stuff than me, I see no reason to contribute (i dont wanna shitpost or anything). Also there's been some personal stuff recently that's really dampened my desire to do any hobbies like lurk gaf or example. I'll try not to be a stranger when I can though.

Not bad. Not bad at all for a holiday weekend.
Sad that AOT beat Dandy for 3 slots though.

I'll definitely take those ratings, though it would have been nice to have Dandy the highest on the block. Can't win every battle, though.

Not sure about Dandy, but wasn't Bebop not very popular over there?

Not very popular? Try a frikkin' disaster.

Wikipedia said:
Cowboy Bebop almost did not appear on Japanese broadcast television due to its depictions of graphic violence. It was first sent to TV Tokyo, one of the main broadcasters of anime in Japan. The show had an aborted first run from April 3 until June 26, 1998, on TV Tokyo, broadcasting only episodes 2, 3, 7 to 15, 18 and a special, after which it was canceled due to low ratings.[17] Later that year, the series was shown in its entirety from October 24 until April 24, 1999, on satellite network WOWOW. Because of TV Tokyo's cancellation of the anime, the production schedule was disrupted to the extent that the last episode was delivered to WOWOW on the day of its broadcast.[clarification needed][18] The full series has also been broadcast across Japan by anime television network Animax, which has also aired the series via its respective networks across Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia.
 
Is Dandy not popular in Japan ;-;

Not enough Moe

Haven't seen any sales data to support it being a hit or a flop

Not sure about Dandy, but wasn't Bebop not very popular over there?

Apparently that's an urban legend, it's not like it mega bombed but it didn't explode the way it did in the west. It was well received though

Edit: hmm I guess that source says other wise

So it can be said that SAO has had more of an impact then bebop?

Those reviews of SAO being the smartest anime in years might be true friends.

I think it just shows that the audience for a mature anime like Bebop is much smaller then the audience for your otaku bait of the season anime. Otaku bait can have any of the following waifu/husbando, incest under/over tones, male or female fanservice, harem, comedy, gary/mary-sue protagonist

Its the reason why a show like Blue Exorcist did better then a show like Black Lagoon.
