DAMN IT FOOD WARS!!! DANG YOU! I have to wait for more favorite character goodness.

Anyhow I found an odd honorific being used

-Tama (almost sounds like Tamani... but I assume Ni is another word)

Which... I didn't know the Japanese could use it as a term of endearment outside being a child.

Also Damn you again anime... I didn't need to see a butchering... in that much detail.

Ok no SERIOUSLY anime... STOP IT! couldn't you have chosen something less gruesome? I don't need to see Gorn Cooking.

Next time on Food Wars: Our characters visit a Meat Processing Plant where all your favorite Farm Animals are tossed into literal wood chippers, and the resulting viscera is used in a five star gourmet dish that everyone agrees is really delicious.

... I don't watch this show, but this is facepalm worthy.  Also very unhealthy...


EDIT: Also, have they been putting out new Naruto episodes after the new kids show up?  I know the manga pretty much stopped.   Or is the Naruto anime still catching up?

There is a boruto movie and a manga of some sort (I typed magma first, dammit df) which basically amounts to "oh hey, you know everything that everybody fought and died for, all the progress they made breaking the cycles of parents making mistakes and children repeating them, the peace that had been established due to all of the sacrifice and bloodshed throughout this entire series? Well guess what..." from what I can tell.

It is kind of the major flaw sometimes of sequels... In that they often have to drag up conflict that was resolved or create new ones making the original seem pointless.

It is why I am starting to SERIOUSLY respect series that decide that they are over (Unlike say... Halo the series that never ends).

From what I've heard the Naruto anime production staff has discovered their dream, that is, a plot point which can be harnessed to produce an infinite amount of filler. It's been in there since Christmas at least.

[Neonivek]

Why is it that my joke idea of an anime called "Infinite Filler" which is a series where the main plot is happening off screen... But all the episodes are the typical filler episodes.

Is actually being done... by Naruto.

[Max™]

I would like to see One do an Infinite Filler webcomic that gets the One Punch man treatment.

[KingofstarrySkies]

On a dare, I must now view two anime. The first:
Valkyrie Drive. Yeah. Aaand..

THE ASTERISK WAR
HOHOHOHOHO

[Orange Wizard]

I will pray for your soul

[Neonivek]

Wait a minute... I just realized...

In food wars... women have lost every single time... in 1 on 1 contests (outside against nameless people).

Well ok there was that pitty party but it didn't count.

Odd... Though I doubt it will be as bad as say... Ruioni Kenshin where the female lead just sucks like mad. With exactly ONE good moment.

Which wouldn't be an issue if she was meant to be the weight around Kenshin's neck... But no she is meant to be genuinely skilled and her flaws is supposed to be that she carries the sword of peace against the remnants of war... But it is like the show is allergic to her being competent. Her most embarrassing loss being losing to some nameless guy armed with a knife... While she is armed.

I wish she was the character she was in her final fight the entire series. Where we actually got a good idea of her skill and especially her conviction. She carries the sword of peace (Too bad that fight was also a "Chick Fight" because GIRLS CAN'T FIGHT!)

My freeken issue with Anime is that I try to become invested in it and its characters...

I need to just stop trying to become invested. I should just watch Food Wars and go "Nope, no one but the main character will amount to anything"

Also I found a nice suggestion in my youtube

Ever wondered when SAO started sucking? Episode 12 apparently.

"full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing" is sort of a malady that can affect sequels which are set after the "natural" end point of a series. This affects the new Star Wars movie as far as I'm concerned. There's a lot of noise and action, but there's little in terms of a strong driving central plot line. Which is exemplified in that they had a whole movie where the entire story was about not knowing where the protagonist of a previous movie is. It's Where's Waldo in space. That's not a plot: that's just filler material to pad time.  Whatever people have to say about the Star Wars prequels, they benefited heavily from being constrained to have to line up with the original films. Anakin may have been annoying, but his story had a clear destination. Whereas the new film is almost entirely free reign, and while fun, it's definitely a big mess.

Force Awakens also shows what not to do when rebooting a series. There's a reason that new Gundam installments always start off small, with the focus on only a few characters, then get into the big space battles later. If every Gundam series tried to top all previous Gundams from episode 1 onwards, then it would rapidly get out of control. But that's exactly what Force Awakens does, although I think Abrams was under intense pressure to have a Mega Hit with this movie. It's not sure if it's a sequel or a reboot, really, and that's exemplified in that Rei's power-up arc does in a few minutes what Luke's took 2+ movies to achieve. When it comes easy, it doesn't have the same impact.

[Orange Wizard]

Petition to reclassify Star Warts as an anime?

Ever wondered when SAO started sucking? Episode 1 apparently.

Typos eh

[NullForceOmega]

You don't technically have to reclassify it, SW received an anime adaptation a long time ago.

[BFEL]

and that's exemplified in that Rei's power-up arc does in a few minutes what Luke's took 2+ movies to achieve.

So in a few minutes this Rei guy gets powerful enough to lose instantly to the main villain and then spend the next minute or so being shocktortured? That's not too unrealistic I think
