Can we not?

Can we just not?

So........Robocop &/or Terminator?

Like, how would you retain the spirit of Mega Man, an E-rated franchise, while making it R-rated without making it feel like a ripoff of other R-rated films involving a robotic main character?

Also, looking at the line-up right now.....unless AoT2 somehow turns out super good, I can't help but feel like we have one of the weakest line-ups in a while (at least in my eyes), the exceptions being Samurai Jack (which only has about a month left), HxH, & GitS (which is a rerun).

I'm liking this last season of Jack but does anyone else think it's weird that so much of it is focusing on a character that was just introduced?

Thought it was going to be more about the already existing characters but it's still good so whatever.

Just saw that Toonami will be at Momocon on May 26th, which seems like a good time to announce the replacement for Unicorn (which would be ending the week after) &/or Attack on Titan S2. There'll also be a live-stream as well.

I mean, it's not like there were that many well established characters outside of Jack, Scotsman, and Aku. Everyone else had single appearances in standalone episodes.

I think something like this was inevitable with the shift to serialized storytelling. Ashi provides a good counterbalance to Jack.

Tatum definitely hams it up. Tsukiyama though...dude has legit the most petty villain motivation I've ever seen in an anime.

The second he showed up, I fucking knew this fucker was going to be a villain. It's like they were being intentionally obvious. But I'd rather have them go full cheeze than full edge, so this is nothing but a good thing.

Plus I imagine it avoids alienating new viewers

If you're going to give Jack some character development as opposed to the mostly static Jack from Seasons 1-4, you pretty much need a character to effect that change.

As long as Square Enix announces DQXI (either version) coming west in 2018 their E3 will deliver for me.

Won't be around for Toonami tonight. Going to miss the grand return of Tokyo Ghoul! (still haven't watched episode 3 lol)

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

Shit Square Enix!

Square should do more stuff with Platinum if they were able to get Nier out in a fairly short time.
Well, short in comparison to Nomura's output. Not helped by XIV shitting the bed so badly they had to divert EVERYTHING into ARR.

Man if we don't see either Kingdom Hearts 3 or the FF7 remake at E3, then just WTF Square Enix.

What are you doing?

What are you making?
Click to expand...

The last fiscal year for Square Enix seemed pretty full, so I expect the next year to be a little quieter.

I imagine Dragon Quest XI might be the release they give the most attention to because they need something. My guess is announcement at E3, release next Q1.

hey guys

what was the point of Sand Whale and Me?
Click to expand...

I'll miss SW&M. I was just watching some of Oshii's Patlabor OVAs (New Files), and I feel he's earned the right make short, dumb stuff. If Old Man Hayao can draw a caterpillar instead of retiring, Sand Whale is fine with me.

Line-up has gotten dire for me again with JoJo's departure. Down to one "must watch" show on the whole block.

I hope they can pick up Lupin.

Adapt the Protomen albums.

Samurai Jack and HxH is enough for me. AoT is a worthy replacement for JoJo if it keeps up the quality it had in the first few episodes.

I did rewatch the first four seasons before fifth started so tonight's episode shouldn't be too much trouble.

We'll probably have Stardust Crusaders once AoT Season 2 wraps up, so think of this as a breather period before we get right back to some good bizarre shit.

My current opinions on the block:

Jack: great!
Super: good for now, next arc will be bad, but then it'll be mostly good after.
Kai: starting to get bad, but hopefully it'll take some time.
AoT: not my thing, but I don't mind it.
Tokyo Ghoul: gonna skip it.
HxH: also great!
Shippuden: pain arc's pretty good.
GitS: really great!

Not sure if you honestly forgot Unicorn or if leaving it out was intentionally meta
