Don't get me wrong, Crocodile was a great villain and his fights with luffy were awesome. It was ViVi who really bugged me about the entire arc.

Vivi was tolerable. At least until they got to Alubarna.
I don't hate her or anything, but damn...

 

[Shard]

Alabasta was a far sight better then the massive waste of time that was Skypeia.

Im before alabasta and the pacing feels slow. Well the whole show. Maybe just cause of how long it is vs other shows

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Alabasta was a far sight better then the massive waste of time that was Skypeia.

All the major connecting plot points say otherwise.

 

[Raxus]

Skypia pays off big time in the long run. But yeah, it is a chore to get through the first time through. Great battle between Luffy and Enel though.

 

[Order]

Damn you guys are killing my One Piece binge hype

Spoiler

I just made it to the timeskip and I really hope this Fake Straw Hats plot doesn't last long

 

[Moaradin]

Alabasta was a far sight better then the massive waste of time that was Skypeia.

Skypiea is still paying off to this day. Definitely not a waste of time.

 

[Man God]

I am the Viper, I've come to vipe your vindows.

 

[Zonic]

Eneru was the only highlight of the Skypiea arc for me. Looking back, it's no wonder why I was starting to get out of One Piece along with the other long-running stuff like Naruto & Bleach. It was such a drag sitting through some of the episodes, ESPECIALLY when it decides "Hmmm, let's have a THREE episode flashback to someone else while current stuff is happening!".

 

[Seda]

One Piece does have a bad habit of placing flashbacks in odd places in order to establish something. Perhaps works slightly better than what Naruto does* because it separates it into multi-episode chunks rather than dispersing them in 2-3 minute deals throughout.

*Talking about /actual/ flashbacks, not replayed scenes.

That was not my experience watching that arc.

The flashback was worse in the manga since it went on for almost nine chapters. Calgara and Noland are great bros, but the entire backstory needed to come earlier before the climax of the arc.

 

[UltraGunner]

I am not looking forward to tonight

Naruto does it both ways actually, making it a no win situation if not for Naruto flashbacks usually being pretty damn good. The bad ones are always of stuff that happened 3 weeks ago but anything with any length of time behind it is usually pretty interesting.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Skypiea certainly has its moments, but

Spoiler

it was the time where I really got annoyed by the mandate that Luffy must get stuck and/or be defeated like 3 times before he wins.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I am not looking forward to tonight

But....but....Space Dandy finale... ;_;

And bring back Thug Shinji.

Yeah, I didn't mind it overall, since One Piece likes to make each location it visits unique, but when you're close to the final encounter with the hero & villain, it's not what you want to see.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Spoiler

I take it you weren't a fan of Kabuto's flashback.

 

[UltraGunner]

But....but....Space Dandy finale... ;_;

And bring back Thug Shinji.

Yeah but Beware da Gawddamn tho

 

[Man God]

Naruto has literally had flashback chapters inside of flashback mini arcs, which is some real meta shit.

Why not?

One Piece spoilers:

Spoiler

Fishman Island isn't really a bad arc. It's fairly decent, but it suffers from the fact that it came right after the timeskip and had a poorly executed villain. It's still enjoyable when binging, but it is a big slump after all the hype.

I was reading it WHILE binging, it brought the binge to a crashing halt. Skypiea was the only other big choke point, where I almost gave up on the series, which probably isn't going to happen now (because of how far I am now), but had this been where Skypiea was, I probably would have dropped the series then.

 

[BassForever]

Please tell me when SAO S2 is coming to Toonami I NEED IT lol

 

[UltraGunner]

Please tell me when SAO S2 is coming to Toonami I NEED IT lol

It will. I can't wait. I get more enjoyment out of crap than I do with legitimately good shows.
(Beware the Batman notwithstanding)

 

[Tenumi]

SAO II Spoilers:

Spoiler

There's an almost-rape scene near the end of the episode. It's really disturbing and the guy who is doing it is almost as creepy as Sugu.
And guess who comes to save the day as usual?

SAO II Episode 13 Spoilers

Spoiler

Almost as creepy? That was more creepy and nauseating than anything SAO has put out so far to me.

 

[SAB CA]

Other than Space Dandy, do I have to SkeDump tonite?

I've been playing Hyrule Warriors all day, bumpin' around in Adventure mode, and I really wanna unlock Ruto, but I think I have to do that in STORY first or something?

But my time with Adventure has been well spend, as weapons got crazy powerful, and found the Naginata for Impa, which has to have one of the most beautiful Uppercuts / C2's of any Warriors weapon ever.

It's be less of an issue if the WiiU didn't DEVOUR drawings and such while playing, haha. Can't even play during commercial breaks

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I am not looking forward to tonight

Look forward to the good stuff.

Then look forward to the sleep.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Haven't seen either of those arcs but of the all the one piece ive seen(up to the end of enies lobby) Alabasta arc has to be my most hated.It was just so hard for me to car about anything that was going on there and it dragged on for far too long.

Don't get me wrong, Crocodile was a great villain and his fights with luffy were awesome. It was ViVi who really bugged me about the entire arc.

Vivi was tolerable. At least until they got to Alubarna.
I don't hate her or anything, but damn...

The fuck is wrong with you two?

 

[B-Dubs]

The fuck is wrong with you two?

I have no idea, but whatever it is I hope it isn't contagious.

 

[Crocodile]

You know what I'm glad never happened?
This show.

Imagine if that was America's first exposure to Gundam. *shudders*

Dear lord :/

I like how they have the wheelchair bound black kid though. GOTTA COVER ALL THE BASES!!

I love how we have 3 gifs for Beware the Batman and that is it.

Let me add one more.

It doesn't even look like he actually licks the knife LOL

ugh i saw these back when BL first started airing on Toonami. So awful excellent

FIXED

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Other than Space Dandy, do I have to SkeDump tonite?

Yes, you have to. It's in your contract.

STOP THE FIGHTINGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bio-Frost]

Why can't we all just get along!!!!

 

[Moaradin]

Please tell me when SAO S2 is coming to Toonami I NEED IT lol

I'm glad they finally got their groove back. Most of this season has just been bad/boring instead of bad and entertaining like S1.

 

[SAB CA]

Yes, you have to. It's in your contract.

It is?! .... AH! There it is! Article E, subsection AT. 1t.

Oh, there will be dumps tonight! But I don't feel like giving Dandy it's proper sendoff till next week, ha. For now... time to have fun being Beware! Have to get SOMETHING good out of the Marathon, no? (Surely won't be the show itself....)

 

[TheAbsolution]

The Maze Runner is a good movie. Interesting as heck. Y'all should see it it.

SAO 2 got bad again? YES! Can't wait for the hate watch.

 

[Soulflarz]

]It doesn't even look like he actually licks the knife LOL

Wait hes supposed to be? News to me!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

so i watched The Raid 2

some of the henchmen were anime as fuck

 

[Gorillaz]

God I wish Dandy was on earlier...

Probably will be either the last or possibly only thing I catch tonight. The block is 2Gawdman4me
