Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Luigi The President]

Would saying I laughed at the ending make me a terrible person? I don't know what it was. Something about it was freaking hilarious.

Yeah I think so

No, not a horrible person, but..what is wrong with you how can you...how can you

Spoiler tagging this because i think it's a little long.

To be honest, the only anime that i have been watched reguraly is JoJo.

I never really cared that much for Anime in general now that i think of it. There's probably a lot ofanime shows of different genres that may be of my taste but i never cared enough to watch them. It may be because of my terribble attention span or something else.

I watched Dragon Ball, and i still do sometimes for nostalgic reasons (#MarioCastañedamasterrace) but i don't care about DB Super and i have been watching some Saint Seiya for curiosity sake. But that's pretty much it.

I watched Naruto and One Piece (unfortunatley the terrible dub) but it didn't catch that much of my interest (i was actually sort of interesed on Naruto, but after learning more about it i gave up on it). The same goes for Sailor Moon, Slam Dunk and a lot of other shows.

I tried to watch Detective Conan, but i also stopped caring for some reason. I don't read Manga or western comics so i never cared about their Manga counterparts.

As embarassing as this sounds, the only reason that i know about JoJo is because of the Fighting game made by Capcom.

When Yamcha, Tien, and Krillin were amongst the strongest of the world.

Well, they technically still are, Toriyama just doesn't care about acknowledging that. Also you forgot Chiaotzu and Yajirobe, everyone always forgets they were strong fighters at one point.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Yeah I think so

No, not a horrible person, but..what is wrong with you how can you...how can you

I feel like I should rewatch it and try to see what everybody else seems to see.

 

[Burruni]

I'm a manga guy and even then i', kind of trash.

So it's pretty much just DB/DBZ, Shaman King, Naruto, One Piece (still love it)

I think the only anime i've REALLY watched are Attck on Titan and Space DAndy (which you shouls all watch)

I do plan to watch one punch man at least. and nichjou and the one with freddy mercury because I keep seeing it

I'm STILL not watching Attack on Titan because the art style is off putting, it's un-needingly dark (coming from someone who's invested in Danganronpa), and the first episode commited one of the 5 greatest anime sins.

Well, they technically still are, Toriyama just doesn't care about acknowledging that. Also you forgot Chiaotzu and Yajirobe, everyone always forgets they were strong fighters at one point.

I was just listing a few examples.
And I'd argue the "technically still are" when we keep getting aliens immigrating to Earth.
When your population now also includes Piccolo, Vegeta, Buu, Android 18, and the over powered saiyan sons, there's a power gap.

Yajirobe in particular is probably one of the strongest humans in general.

But he doesn't care for fighting.

If you're asking for permission to rant it's granted

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

The only shonen I really care about is Hunter X Hunter, though I'd barely even call it shonen. It gets daaark.

Agreed. Hunter x Hunter is in a league of its own and I say its storytelling surpass that of the Big 3 or any other new SJ work by a long shot.

Now if only Togashi can drop the Dragon Quest and continue the damn story. I want to see more of the Dark Contintent Arc since it's so promising.

 

[Bananija]

Lucifer/Urushihara is the best character. No argument.

Yeah you're right. Alciel/Ashiya is the best character.

...

What!!!
You're telling me that the best character isn't Alciel? How dare you!!

Lucifer is my second favorite and I have no time for argument and I'm sad that there is probably going to be no second season and good night.

 

[Kenith]

The naruto anime is medicore at best.I dont get the hype.I mean when i like more of the side characters than the main characters and the the story has more plotholes and filler than DBZ thats saying something

I remember being a Naruto fan.
I can confirm I only liked Kakashi out of the main characters and even of the supporting characters, only Lee and Gaara.
Lost interest in the main trio fast.

 

[A Distant Demon]

All this anime talk reminded me I never finished Full Metal Alchemist B

****.

Damn now I have an obnoxiously long Video game backlog AND a long anime backlog.

 

[Chrono.]

Attack on Titan is decent-ish.

But it always bugged me how people always said it "wasn't your average shonen" when... that's exactly what it is.

Oh you go do that right now. Brotherhood is fantastic.

 

[Burruni]

Just... with cartoons/anime.
There are a particular 5 things that I consider the great sins.
1) Horribly ineffectual protagonists
2) Friendship speeches
3) Introducing and highlighting a "shining light" character for the audience to kill them off in that same episode. x5 value if this is in the first episode.
4) Major character being framed for something tragic. x5 if the scene's writing makes this noticably improbable. x10 if its murder. x50 if its murder of someone this character's only had positive history with.
5) "X character HANDEDLY defeats Y character that the audience knows is strong to further emphasize the power of Character X."

Edit: Just to do a minor vent. Since it's of a relatively recent anime I'll put it in spoilers

Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi

Tried it and it was fine until about the last 2 minutes. Then it got a Sin x 250.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

One Piece is my all-time favorite TV show tied with Regular Show, although OP has the potential to surpass it.

A long time ago, I wanted to increase the amount of anime I watched, so I checked out WatchMojo's top 10 list and tried the #1 choice (just recently learned that the manga was published by Square Enix). I've seen less than ten episodes, and haven't put in any effort to watch the rest.

 

[MainJPW]

When your population now also includes Piccolo, Vegeta, Buu, Android 18, and the over powered saiyan sons, there's a power gap.

But there aren't that many of them, they aren't the Justice League. When you say "the strongest among them" that would also include people who could potentially wreck planets.

Yajirobe in particular is probably one of the strongest humans in general.

But he doesn't care for fighting.

Yeah, a lotta wasted potential there. I wish he did more with Chiaotzu though, how could you not do anything with a character who uses telekinetic powers?

 

[Coricus]

You know, I've been thinking. . .

Perhaps we should modify how individual support bandwagons work in this fandom.

I see a lot of people asking for this character and that character, but support efforts tend to be either nonexistent or incredibly confusing to anyone not a fan of the character, particularly if they are new to Smash in general.

Since the fanbase is so split and about the only thing we can come to a consensus on is that the characters we have in the game aren't the ones we specifically wanted, I think the best way to prevent things from getting even more thoroughly messed up would be if bandwagon drivers went out of their way to market their character in a fashion that could be understood by people outside of their corner of the fandom.

For starters, each individual attempting to back a bandwagon could make a video showing clips of all the actions that *character* is capable of in their games that the bandwagon driver thinks could be applied to Smash. These videos could then be compiled into playlists on YouTube for unsure or new fans to browse and make their own decisions on who to support from.

I guess we can say Yo-Kai Watch isn't for kids anymore.

Nah, the jokes in your average Cartoon Network show are much worse.

It's 2016, the last DLC is coming in 2 days, confirmed to be the final wave with nothing else coming...

And the fans never cease to amaze me with how much they cannot take a damn hint.

 

[Solfiner]

Regarding other anime/manga Jojo is the obvious choice if anyone knows me even slightly.

I've watched the anime three times (every single part) and read every part at least 3 times. Yes I might be slightly insane.

 

[Pazzo.]

I enjoyed/enjoy AoT, despite knowing how flawed it is in some parts.

It may not be the best, but I can get value from what it is.

I cringed internally every time I watched a reaction video for the last two announcement batches where the person flat out expected Wolf. Especially the Corinetta videos when there wasn't even any space to misdirect them.

Wolf isn't a bad character, but my gosh it seems to border on obsession for most people.

Enjoying the new look over there, Masky-boy?

(Seriously, I can't ever see the term "Toon" referred to an art style without thinking of this friggin deck)

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

In terms of subtle adult humor, nothing is worse than Rocko's Modern Life or Animaniacs. Adventure Time and Regular Show come close, but using TV-PG shows is kind of cheating.

Also, I had the feeling that Robonyan was into some kinky **** since the beginning.

 

[Erureido]

I see there's an anime talk going on.

I too enjoy Attack on Titan; I'm even caught up with the manga for it (couldn't bear waiting for season 2 after finishing the first season, not to mention I find myself drawn to the titan mystery); in fact, it's the only manga that I actively read. I can agree that the series isn't perfect and has its flaws.

Out of all the anime series I watched (a handful to be exact), my favorite anime series definitely has to go to the Fate series, particularly the ufotable adaptations of Fate/Stay Night UBW and Fate/Zero, though if I had to pick between the two, I'd go with Zero.

Speaking of which, still waiting for more updates about that Heaven's Feel adaptation, ufotable.

Yes, a friend of mine found it for my use...

[AwesomeAussie27]

Yes, the anime is surprisingly more dirty than the games themselves. Like how Kate was close to exposing her belly because of Rockabelly in one episode.

Then there's the more toilet humor heavy episodes (Fidgephant and Cheeksqueak's in particular).

Here's an interesing detail that i found:

Here's a concept art of Roy:

The upper left art.

Here's one of Roy victory poses in Melee:

Spoiler

He does the same pose as in the upper left artwork. Neat.

 

[Burruni]

Maximillion Pegasus. The main villain of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s first arc.
His personality was... Flamboyant to say the least and as a duelist the major gimmick of his deck was using "Toon" versions of monsters which required a special field in play but had really imbalanced bonuses because of it.

Isn't it.... cute?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Talking about smashified in another chat somehow lead to crash and spyro.

I would like to quote myself first
"original trilogy is the only spyro

Yeah, not many kids media these days would have the nerve to crack a BD&M joke. Well Adventure Time did that more than enough times with the goblins that wanted to be spanked.

Cheeksqueak and Mara ought to hang out some time, being the butt of the joke of their respective franchises.

 

[Burruni]

I was about to say.
The "modern" trilogy went from.. okay to just worse.
And converting a major antagonist to a love interest should never never never be a damn thing.
...I think I just found my 6th deadly gaming/cartoon/anime sin.

 

[AreJay25]

Legend of Spyro was kinda poopy.

A Hero's Tail was alright IIRC, but it's been years since I played it.
