I do sort of understand the frustration though. Back in the old days, for shonen it was One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, so if one of those anime wasn't your speed then you had other options and they're all quite different.

But nowadays, not counting sequelsnote , it's just BC and MHA - and BC is shite, so MHA starts dominating the conversation. One Piece is still ongoing but the decline of the anime has caused its western fanbase to shrink and go back to the manga. So any time shonen comes up, it's basically MHA or bust, so people who don't like MHA are gonna get pretty tired of hearing about it pretty quickly.

So Hunter X Hunter and Jojo suddenly don't count as Shonen?

Neither are really ongoing as regularly - Jo Jo is monthly and no word on the anime update, and Hx H - well, there's a reason it's "hiatus X hiatus".

Okay I just noticed the tweet Demarco posted a couple days ago where he hints at some upcoming shows & one tweet stuck out to me in particular.

https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/984046198742028289

"right in the pocket." Right in the pocket, in the pocket, the pocket, pocket.

.......... Huh, are we getting the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket?

lol not a whole lot of other anime named "Pocket". Unless you wanna translate Pokemon as "Pocket monsters", and we know that's not gonna be on Toonami by a longshot.

Demarco knows exactly how people would interpret that phrasing, especially since they did air 0080 back in ‘02 or something. The first one we can assume is referring to MHA, which leaves the “confusing” anime up in the air.

Well, interesting way to end the arc, with Beerus' saving the day.

Nice to see an arc end with everything so chill and peaceful and little in the way of casualties.

Can't wait to see the new story arc. I have to say, this whole Goku Black arc was way too short and had an anticlimactic conclusion. Hopefully the next arc is way better and doesn't involve Zamasu or Goku Black.

Didn't Future Trunks annihilate the Future Androids in an episode of Z?

You should start watching more movies Trunks.

Its funny how people try to respect Beerus when he is very much not deserving of any respect.

Blegh this is gross as fuck. sad

This is taking way too long for something so obvious.

Clearly it was caused by time-travel radiation from that glowing blue goop used to fuel the time machine.

Something's going to happen with those senzu beans, right? That was a lot of emphasis of Goku putting the beans away.

@Slim I actually find it more irritating with in real life people who try to justify him. Then again, that may just be because I've heard TFS give him props I don't feel he deserves.
