You'll never see it coming...

@ Rojixus: IIRC, it's a popular Gateway Series for Shonen Jump readers who don't have much in the way of experience with the genre because of how it plays just about every shonen cliche to the hilt... which is the exact same reason just about everyone else hates it.

Sally (if "batshit crazy" is your thing)

That's the one I just said I felt sorry for.

[up][up][up][up] Your guess is as good as mine. I've seen people calling this show greatness & shit like that for some reason.

[up][up][up] Nice song.... I don't get it. tongue

[up][up] Even for a gateway series it's very below average. I'd just recommend a better series to people.

What should we call the combo of BC and Naruto? The Pierrot Disempowered Hour? tongue

The C-U-N-A Hour (say it aloud)

Alternatively, the Dumpster Diving Hour.

Watching the God of War review just made me remember something. I can still remember my younger brother got mad when Toonami only gave the video game version of The Two Towers 8/10. XD

The Two Towers game was worth an 8/10. I really enjoyed it, but that thing wasn't a 9. Especially when the combat started getting repetitive and the Rohan maps looked like poop.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Ah so close but at least the Calvary's arrived.

Welp, that's it for me, folks.

I'm leaving my family tomorrow to go live in a third-world country with a ten-year-old boy I just met to teach him how to fight.

Be back whenever.

It should be noted that said kid is the reincarnation of an eldritch abomination that almost destroyed the universe.

Sure it's an ambiguous move to straight abandon everything for him but don't act like the kid is some random nobody.

FYI, having Johnny Yong Bosch as Johnny is part-Actor Allusion, part-Adam Westing. There's nods to a few of his most famous roles (like Zero), plus Johnny's idea to form DROPKIX with Dandy mirrors Eyeshine, JYB's real-life band.

The Galaga opening fanfare on acoustics. Classic. [lol]

Sure it's an ambiguous move to straight abandon everything for him but don't act like the kid is some random nobody.

You're right; he's worse than some random nobody. tongue

[up] Well it's better than letting him run around unchecked.

Gotta make sure there's no Buu in Uub.

I feel like King Yemma wouldn't have let Kid Buu reincarnate at all if that was going to be a problem.

Two whole hours of playing the same damn song. That's Ear Worm fodder if I've ever heard it. [lol]
