TwoPair posted:2:00 - Naruto Shippuden In Good News About Bad Boring Anime/Manga: Tite Kubo's bosses finally killed Bleach the Manga execution-style last year, forcing him to end the series in the most rushed and passive-aggressively pissed manner possible. Sadly, the shipper meltdown was nowhere near as amusing as the Naruto one, due to not even hardcore Bleach fans giving a poo poo anymore. Speaking of which, Naruto may be dead, but his dumbass spoiled brat Burrito (and his best friend Salad) was given his own monthly manga. Which continues the fine Naruto tradition of "copy Dragonball, only really badly" by retelling a movie in episodic format for its first arc. As for Naruto on Toonami... uh... well, a filler arc happened that accomplished literally nothing for any involved party, Tobi was introduced and subsequently ruined by making him a crazy magic eye man, Sasuke finally murdered his brother and will surely Not Do Anything Evil Again Ever, and an unhinged fangirl told Sasuke she's coming. Yup. EDIT: Oh, and Sasuke can become Butterfly Aizen now because he ate Doctor Snakes.

I'm willing to forgive all of the Buu arc's existence because Gohan's High School Shenanigans here at the beginning is that worth it.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:I just figure they enjoy their privacy Yeah, in addition to all the other stuff, Satan actually performs a useful service to the Z Fighters in taking all the credit. They just want to live and train quietly when the world isn't in mortal peril, and the paparazzi would kind of make that hard.

Waffleman_ posted:The Universal Century is the "main" timeline of the Gundam series, established way back in 1979 with the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It's been going strong since then and has honestly gotten a bit bloated with continuity, which is why a lot of recent series are either in the far future or standalone universe. So it's the anime equivalent of Star Wars, got it.

TwoPair posted:I like how they start the episode explaining how there's 4 techniques but then they keep going "oh yeah here's this other bullshit technique but no it's totally still the 4 exercises" I'm going to guess this series starts really stretching the boundaries of these "rules" with nen powers as it goes on, doesn't it?
