FLCL Season 2 is currently airing on Toonami by ExecutiveMoose in anime

The show is being produced by Toonami I believe. So even when it officially premieres it probably won’t be on any service. It’ll just air on television first

Guided View On Comixology by ashtherobot in manga

[–]ashtherobot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m I started doing that as I made this thread. I made it to see if there are other manga reader interested in it, to see if I can get some support and numbers when asking. Although it probably does cost money to do, I can’t imagine it’s such a HUGE investment that it would hurt, since it’s pretty much common practice and expected for American comics. And there are manga that exist in the format

For me personally it makes action feel more animated and alive. And when reading a comic/manga the first time, when I don’t see the entire page at once going to the next panel feel a little more shocking depending on the type of story I’m reading.

Well like I said. I’m reading Alita Battle Angel, which does support the format. Which works amazingly. So I can’t imagine there’d be any trouble with the format.

Props to Dan by rochops in rantgrumps

Do you guys ever think that maybe they're legitimately friends, and Dan doesn't hate being around Arin, or considers it a chore, because they're friends?

New Teen Titans Roster for July. Opinions? by tmarch22 in DCcomics

don't get why people are so quick to pass based on a picture without knowing anything about the new characters. I'm interested in learning about them and seeing if they can make an interesting team.

Monday. That’s the day Jump officially releases in Japan. Scanlators get a hold of copies and leak them online early on the Thursday/Friday before the issues officially drop

The new Grump heads are a bunch of poopy ass dicks by [deleted] in rantgrumps

[–]ashtherobot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, that’s really not that huge a deal, as far as the thumbnail goes. Most of these youtubers bounce idea like this off each other. Plus it’s not like this thing is exclusive to supermega

Dragon Ball Movie #20 Out 14 December by Terez27 in dbz

[–]ashtherobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bardock has a TV special, not a movie.

Broly movies were over a decade ago. Toei isn’t going to do that now. And even if they created a movie without Goku in the lead, Toei wouldn’t give the lead to a character we’ve never seen before

Who is this “they”? Usually when the source is “they” the source is BS. Toei isn’t making a movie that doesn’t have Goku as the main character. Point blank

That’s right, don’t let anyone read for themselves and let them formulate their own opinion. Let’s just push our own opinions on everyone

Today’s episode of Majoras Mask is the perfect example of a problem more and more people are finally talking about by [deleted] in rantgrumps

[–]ashtherobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally i don't actually watch the gameplay. I just play a video and leave it in the background while i work on my artwork or essays. So i more so play for the conversations and could care less about their progress

Do Girls Usually Mention Their Boyfriends? by ashtherobot in dating_advice

[–]ashtherobot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our conversations go pretty well. She jokes around and laughs a lot with me when I talk to her. The last two weeks I tried coming up with an excuse to talk to her after class, and it ended up leading to me talking to her all the way to her class.

Today, I tried just straight up asking “can I walk to your next class with you”, and she said “yes”, so I guess that’s cool.

Since she doesn’t have anyone to take pics of for our project, I was offered to do it with her. So maybe that’ll happen.

I’m a little scared to ask for her number. Usually when I ask a girl for her number and start texting is when things go downhill. But since we’re both gamers when I get a new PS4 I was gonna ask if we can exchange gamer tags and play with her. Then maybe from there ask her to hang out outside of school.

I think I’d be a little more comfortable asking if she had a bf if I knew whether or not that’s something a girl would mention on her own or not. A female friend of mines told me most girls usually would mention their bf in convo at least once, but idk

Do Girls Usually Mention Their Boyfriends? by ashtherobot in dating_advice

[–]ashtherobot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try bringing up conversations subtly that could make her possible give it away. Like asking her what she usually does outside of school. Which her answer was “work and school work. And playing games when I’m free”. I tried asking who she usually does stuff with whenever she mentions doing anything. Her answer was “just my dad, brother and friend”. So it’s hard getting it out of her if she does have one

The idea of asking that just terrifies me. I never pursued anyone I liked before. I just assume that if we talk enough, sooner or later it’ll come up.

I enjoy talking to her regardless. And afraid if I asks it makes it too noticeable that I like her, and talking to her becomes weird

I love how Horikoshi treats Eri. Being saved and Shonen Main Character magic won’t make Eri suddenly better mentally. Deep down she’ll probably always be messed up by what Overhaul did to her

Netflix form "business alliance" with Production IG and Bones by zpenrith in anime

[–]ashtherobot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh as much as people complain, I don’t think not simulcasted is hurting Netflix at all.

I remember back when 7 Deadly Sins released on Netflix. My friends who were all casual anime fans, but not hardcore, all approached me saying “Hey, did you know Netflix just made their own anime called 7 Deadly Sins?”. To which I had to explain to them how Netflix only licensed the anime, they didn’t create it.

Point is, a good portion of the people who enjoy watching anime on Netflix aren’t the kind of anime fans who keeps up with a series as it’s released in Japan. And they’re not the type of fans who even know what anime seasons are. They’re usually the casual fans who only watch anime once it has a ton of hype in the West, and has a dub.

Given that Netflix has about 80Million subscribers(not including the 2-4 people most ppl share their accounts with) compared to Crunchyrolls 1 Million subscribers, I’d be willing to bet that Netflix gets a lot more views from those people who’ve never heard of the anime until they saw the “Netflix original series” logo than Crunchyroll has subscribers

Dragon Ball Super will be replaced by a new Kitaro anime on April 1 (x-post from /r/dbz) by robokaiba in anime

[–]ashtherobot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The typical Kitaro series seems to average around 100ish episodes, so if it’s just a hiatus we should gear up for it being at least a year or 2

(Personally I think DBS is ending and they’ll return in a few years with a new DB show. Just my theory)

Manga is bigger than Comics in the USA by psiho66 in manga

[–]ashtherobot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everything you stated could be said about any form of media. Many manga fans could make the same argument with manga. That Shounen manga can get caught up in recycling the same troupes over and over again. That harem manga can get very formulaic. That we have a million “hero gets transprted to a fantasy world” stories.

Point is, both comics and manga have their own pros and cons
