Years of rejection at Tsunade's hands have taken their toll on him.

Even the frog didn't like his one-liner... [lol]

Are the upcoming arcs gonna be worse than filler? sad

How much did it cost Toonami to use "Roundabout"?

This mini-arc is kinda slow to get rolling, but once it does...

As for "Roundabout," it's already used as the first ED to the 2012 series, so I don't know if Toonami had to shell out any additional licensing royalties.

I've really come to appreciate this arc. The setting with the Rain village pulling off a gritty cyberpunk look with a shit ton of rain look beautiful as well mystery of Pain & what the fuck he is. Everything bout him & Konan made them very frightening & effective antagonists. This is Naruto at its best honestly. [awesome]

This guy has just gone from "repugnant" to "utterly repulsive." Fawns after a woman, gets rejected, steals her body from the grave like the self-entitled creeper he is, and is bewildered by her post-reanimation personality change but goes "at least she's still hot lol."

Go get him, Chopper!

Why is it that they are trying to kill Kudelia? If anything, advocates for the oppressed are more dangerous after they're dead than they ever could be in life. Kudelia is just one woman; she can't do what the oppressed people expect her to do. As a martyr, however, she would fan the flames of insurrection that no army could put down and still have anything worth exploiting.

Her dying in that particular incident could have been pretty damaging to the rebellion, as they were trying to spin the whole incident as an unprovoked bombing started by the rebels that gjallerhorn put down for the safety of the people, with her at the head of said bombing. If she died then, she'd never be able to say or do anything to contradict the narrative.


On a different topic: hey guys, check out that stone mask in the Jojo promo. Now compare it to the example of "hidden treasures" in Hunter X Hunter's intro narration.

So, what do you guys think Toonami will do next year for the 20th Anniversary?

Also, what do you think Toonami will do on April Fools 2018 when it's their turn again for an April Fools prank. After the disappointing Adult Swim prank in 2016, I'm sure they will do better for 2017 and especially 2018.

As for either the 20th Anniversary in 2017 or April Fools in 2018, well here's my two cents on what they could do. It's just wishful thinking, but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Originally, I had hoped they'd bring back Moltar and do an old-school lineup prank similar to the 2012 prank, using one-shot temporary licenses similar to the ones they used for the 2012 prank to air Sailor Moon, DBZ, Gundam, and other old shows they could try to get temporary rights to (though they do have permanent rights to DBZ and can now afford Gundam shows again if IBO is any indication), BUT with the tragic passing of C. Martin Croker and the send-off they gave Moltar last week in the canon, I don't think that's going to happen.

They could do a similar prank with TOM 2 (since TOM 1 and TOM 4 are both dead as of the Intruder II) and air old shows using temporary one-shot licenses, or Demarco could finally lift the ban on airing movies and air something like Eva 3.33 or a Dragonball Z movie or something, since the 20th Anniversary is a special one-time occasion and not just an annual holiday. If they air another marathon on something as big as their 20th Anniversary, I will not be happy.

I had another idea for a special programming for Toonami, but this could only work as an April Fools prank, although it would be in Adult Swim's style of humor.

For April Fools 2018, have Toonami be hosted by TOM 4 (I know he's gone, but I'd figure this prank would be non-canon) and instead of airing beloved classics like in the 2012 prank, air shows that were generally disliked such as Hamtaro, Tenchi Muyo GXP, Bobobo Bo-Bobobo (or whatever it was called), Wulin Warriors, Johnny Quest, Reign: The Conqueror, Pilot Candidate, etc. It may not be ideal, but I think it would be funny as a one-shot April Fools prank.

Or alternately do a one-time re-airing of Miguzi for April Fools. Hell, you could even do that as a 2017 prank as it's not specifically tied to Toonami and anything can happen on Adult Swim during April Fools (even nothing at all, as was the case this year).

I know it's early to be thinking about April Fools, especially one that's two years away, I guess I got on a tangent.
