I have friends who love One Piece, and I joke that one of the series’ strengths is that the guy’s art style is so what-the-hell? to begin with, it’s an excellent cover for poorly animated episodes.

That whole “squirt out something substandard for broadcast and then charge out the ass for Blu-Rays with better animation” business model has turned me off to anime recently.

Does Toriyama really hate GT? I hear people say all that all the time, but offer no quotes from the man himself (the only thing I’ve read him saying was that it was an alternate reality).

I was talking about this with a friend earlier. I prefer pre-Super Saiyan Vegeta; back then he was sneaky, a tactician specializing in hit-and-run attacks. He knew he wasn’t the strongest dude on Namek, but he managed to survive.

I always figured it the other way ‘round—the series had its look, but every now and then—like the episode where they’re on that space station and the pirates attempt to hijack it disguised as refugees and there’s that police lady and the big dinosaur dude—we’d get a really super-detailed episode.

“I need an adult.”

Reminds me of a webcomic—Shortpacked!, I think—where the joke was, “Man, I knew I should have stayed in the Merchandise threads of the forum and not wandered into General Discussion. Now I know which users won’t let their daughters date black guys.”

The effed up thing is, there would be people who would support him MORE.

Kinda like how none of the other candidates spoke out against his comments on Mexicans until after businesses started dropping Trump?

Gift cards.

For GT, Toriyama just did character designs and a basic story outline...the same thing he’s doing for Super.

Looking back, I wish it had been made clearer when I was a kid that not being overweight was less about being called a fatty by bullies and more about not being at risk for diabetes or heart disease.

This may sound sad, but having Game Grumps on in the background while I do other things makes me feel like I have friends over to chill.

“Spin-sir?”

Come to think of it, it *is* suspicious that the Joes got Sgt. Slaughter while Destro got Piper.

He technically served Destro, after he broke off from Cobra, changed his mask from silver to gold, and led his Grenadiers on a “*this* is how you take over the world, Commander!” campaign.

Destro’s gonna need a new drill instructor.

What do you do when the people who make you feel like shit actually think they’re helping you?

He-Man/Prince Adam.

On one hand—Yay! Black Widow is the most popular!
