Hence the words "was pretty consistent overall despite a few bumps." tongue I'll agree the first few arcs were by no means perfect (the pacing was definitely... off), but the complaints about Shippuden tend to be aimed at its back end more often than its beginning since the (admittedly foregone) Myth Arc hadn't overtaken nearly everything yet.

Overall Shippuden is where it became a mess & its thanks to the Uchihaha's because they became Kishimoto's clan of creator's pets.

Oh wow, I didn't even realize before that the same guy voiced both MacDougal and McGillis.

@ slim: In Kishimoto's defense, he did drop clues that the Uchiha clan was going to be a big deal in the long run, but I will agree that the overall execution left something to be desired.

@ Beary: He's also Neji. And Hitsugaya. And Banagher. (Among others.)

Maybe it's just because I'm fairly decent at picking out voice actors I'm familiar with, but the dude's got a pretty distinctive voice.

[up][up] He went way to far with the Uchihaha's.

He became too enamored with them for his own good & all we got are a bunch of unsympathetic karma houdini's.

@ slim: Well, mostly the Sauce, considering the other "main" Uchihas are death by the end, but his writing didn't do any favors to the others, I'll give you that. (It doesn't help that Kishi slapped a Hereditary Curse on the entire clan to explain why so many go off the deep end. That being said, the real Madara was never particularly sympathetic in my eyes, even if one argued that Tobirama's pragmatism in regards to everything—the Uchiha clan included—had its faults).

As much as I'd like to stick around for the end of Radical Edward's grand debut and GitS, I'd best follow Beary's example and call it a night.

K like even after watching Countdown episode 2 twice, I still don't fully understand what Future!TOM says as to what is happening.

Black Clover will be added to the block starting 12/2.

The block is also getting expanded another half hour, and will be starting at 10:30.

Shit were gonna be stuck with a mediocre show for 51 weeks.

At least SAO was only around for 24.

We really have to wait for DBZ Kai or Hunter x Hunter to end before we put on anymore long-runners.

Though its nice the time-slot is extending.

51 weeks NOW. Remember there's no telling if the anime will continue AFTER that.

As someone who's only hearing if Black Clover for the first time now, what are the issues with it?

Its a very, very mediocre shonen that rips off from everything under the sun but doesn't do anything interesting with them creating a rather average experience.

While the anime has slow pacing & the Japanese VA for the MC constantly screams in a way that will make your eyes bleed & cry out for the sweet release of death.

From what I've seen and heard, Black Clover is literally just popular elements from other shonen thrown into one series. The whole thing is quite formulaic. Asta's gargle screams in the anime are the only noteworthy thing about it.

And now it's getting a Toonami slot? God damn is it getting pushed now.

Now?? It seems like everyone involved with this franchise in some way wants it to be God's gift to Earth and are marketing it to high heaven! And it isn't even GOOD.

From what I've seen, it seems like the show has gotten more free advertising from people complaining about it than anything else.

This song needs more love.
