no seriously, what the hell just happened? I heard this series was a movie before?

It's worth pointing out that even two separate recaps still clock in less time than one of One Piece.

Love the sweeping, triumphant music for a broadcast that's going to result in a mass outbreak of civil unrest and terrorist attacks the following morning.

Both. You either call it a night before Gundam comes on, or you stay up to watch GitS with the TV either shut off or muted until 0300.

I think moving Toonami up an hour would be a good idea in general.

Especially since outside of Jack no one uses those time slots.

Adult Swim has gotta get those sweet sweet Family Guy Rick & Morty ratings.

Although after Jack finishes airing again, it would be nice if Toonami kept the 11 slot.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Not sure where else to ask this but how long does it take before Berserk starts taking off? I'm watching it for the first time with a friend who saw it years ago and it's rough getting through the 6 episodes we've watched. No music, the animation is bad, the gay love between Griffith and Guts is weird, it's tough to keep on watching it. I know it's a classic like Cowboy Bebop and was mind-blowing when it first came out but it's dragging. It just seems like one of those anime I need to see to say I've seen it.

I'm wondering if I should just power through it by myself and we watch Drifters instead.

Honestly the Manga is just way better than the Anime adaptations, both for its highly detailed art, and because it doesn't gently caress around with the story order. The anime definitely hasn't aged well, either.

YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!
The manga plays up the griffin wants to gently caress Guts harder so if that is a deal breaker then it just isn't for you.

This is the old one from like the early 90s or whenever it came out.

I'm also not going to read any manga or watch subbed anime. Was just wondering how long its going to take before the story gets really engaging.

I like what I've seen so far I'm just not sure if I can stick with it because it hasn't aged well.

From what I remember it's a bit of a slow build without much hint of where things are going... and then it just goes completely off the rails.

I wanted to say to skip to the last five episodes or so if you really can't stand it, checking wiki's episode summaries #17 seems to be where the endgame gets going.

Like if you did watch ep 6 and want more of that you've got like a dozen episodes of mostly medieval knights loving around before anything like that happens again. Maybe the end is better if you got used to that loving around though, I don't know.




Or just skip it and find the blooper reel on youtube.

You guys know what episode of Outlaw Star you left off on?

Also, depending on how I can manage it in the morning, I might need someone else to do recaps. I'll be at Origins for a bunch of the day, and while I'll probably have time before I go, I slept through Titan and went to bed early so I missed Hunter entirely.

I agree. That's why I'm thinking we'll watch that instead and I'll just blow through Berserk another time.

PREVIOUSLY, ON TOONAMI

DragonBall Super: Freeza shows up on Earth with, like, a hundred nameless goons that all get their asses kicked by the Z Fighters. Except remember that one lieutenant that Freeza shot in the kneecaps? Yeah, he's a hardass now because Freeza literally beat the weakness out of him.

DragonBall Z Kai: Dabura decides that Gohan's too much of a pussy to bother with and fucks off, but also because he thinks of a Good IdeaTM. Babidi casts Dominate Mind on Vegeta, then teleports everyone back to Shang Tsung's island.

Attack on Titan: ONE NIGHT ONLY, THIS SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY! GASBACK HEPHAESTUS VS. BROCK LESNAR, ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW! CALL YOUR CABLE OR SATELLITE PROVIDER FOR ORDERING INFORMATION!

Tokyo Ghoul: Lumberjack Bonanza made a hamburger and said it was pretty good.

Hunter X Hunter: Turns out that Chrollo jacked that girl's fortune-telling power, and the Phantom Troupe's horoscope says that there's gonna be a poo poo-ton more blood before this arc wraps up. That might have something to do with how Hisoka told Kurapika that the Troupe is still alive.

Gundam: We never have to watch this garbage-rear end franchise again, yaaaaayyyyy!

PREVIOUSLY, ON GOONAMI

UnLIMITED Blade Works: We stopped Gilgamesh from triggering the End of Days, destroyed Shub-Niggurath, moved to London so we could attend Hogwarts, and got one final cameo from a Zero character. Cue rodneydangerfield.wmv, roll credits.

Aside from the fact that you're being beaten nearly to death by a guy stronger than you, I wonder how terrible it is to train with Frieza.

Would he kill you if you got a good hit in on him? Would he kill you for not putting up enough of a struggle?
