[B-Dubs]

Explain this thread in 20 words or less.

 

[BatDan]

DIC- wait, third place? How? I feel like I post less these days...

Covering three months huh? I know there's minimally three marathons with less posting so we shall see.

Then again, Jojo is starting up and that will probably attract a crowd.

 

[Zonic]

Damn, I forgot just how long we've got HxH for.

How many marathons do we normally get in Dec? 17th & 24th will be marathons, not to mention Jan. 1st as well. I could've sworn we had 3 marathons in Dec. last year.

 

[Seda]

12:00 - Dragonball Z Kai - 88 - Showdown! Cell vs. Goku!
12:30 - One-Punch Man - 11 - The Dominator of the Universe
1:00 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 16 - Fumitan Admoss
1:30 - HUNTER×HUNTER - 22 - A × Dangerous × Watchdog
2:00 - Naruto Shippuden - 129 - Infiltrate! The Village Hidden in the Rain
2:30 - One Piece - 363 - Chopper Is Furious!! Hogback's Evil Medical Practices
3:00 - Parasyte -the maxim- - 22 - Repose and Awakening
3:30 - Parasyte -the maxim- - 23 - Life and Vows
4:00 - Parasyte -the maxim- - 24 - Parasitic Beasts - END

And we don't know what's happening on Oct 8, because Parasyte's presumed replacement (One Punch Man) will still have one episode remaining before its inevitable rerun.

 

[Mizerman]

Sixth place? Woot.

 

[Man God]

Next week is going to be great.

Fake Edit: I'm Number One?

 

[Seda]

Oh yeah I won't be able to watch this week.

 

[B-Dubs]

I think it's like most of the month, if not the whole thing.

 

[Hellwarden]

Wooo new Toonami thread!

Also, oh no, I'm slipping on the leaderboard!

 

[Zonic]

Last year's marathons in December:

Dec. 19th: DBZ Kai
Dec. 26th: One Piece

So just two.

Meanwhile, this year, the 17th, 24th, & 31st will fall on Saturday, so I would imagine this year will have 3 marathons.

 

[Hellwarden]

We might get a Jojo marathon.

Dope.

 

[Seda]

Dec 17 could be a normal schedule.

 

[Zonic]

We might get a Jojo marathon.

Dope.

Oh damn, that's right, Part 1 would be ending just before we'd be going into the marathon part of the month.

Not to mention, Part 1 is only 9 episodes long, meaning we can watch just about all of it in one night.

Also something I noticed, April Fools falls on a Saturday next year. Considering the time Toonami would air, it would then be April 2nd, but hey, maybe they'll do something in the final moments of April Fools Day.

 

[Man God]

DST ends pretty late this year.

 

[Mizerman]

We might get a Jojo marathon.

Dope.

*Nods*

 

[Jarate]

Mmmm that new thread smell

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Might be a little too soon for that thread title.

And I'm Numbuh 4.

 

[ckohler]

DBZ. Jojo. HxH. I'm digging the new show graphics on this thread.

 

[Seda]

Thinking ahead: even though the Buu Arc isn't well received in general, I wonder how much having a proper soundtrack (and opening) will bolster it. The crippled Kikuchi score is such a damper.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Condensing it would likely help too. That shit went on forever.

Having a Kai version of Buu would benefit it even more.

 

[Htown]

I don't recall my problems with the Buu saga having anything to do with the music.

It's the fact that most of it is completely pointless, and despite the initial theme of the arc (and indeed the entire show really) being the rise of a new generation of fighters, it's all just fucking Goku and Vegeta at the end again.

 

[Jarate]

Buu saga still sucks majorly

If you hate main characters who are so powerful that the only way for the villain to exist is because the heroes are so literally incompetent, then by golly is the Buu saga for you

The Buu fight itself is fairly good, but the way it treats Gohan, and the the shitty kids, and the story itself is really lame

They've got plenty of gas left in the tank, brother.

 

[Hellwarden]

I've got to help my brother move out of his apartment tomorrow...Gotta spend the night to do it...

All I can think about is George Carlin's speech on stuff right now.

How do I put this.

Here are the various musical tracks, as I understand it (feel free to correct):

Japanese DBZ: Kikuchi
English DBZ: Falcouner
Original DBZ Kai: Yamamoto
Substitute DBZ Kai: Poorly placed and truncated Kikuchi tracks
Buu Kai: Sumitomo

I like Yamamoto's music, plagiarized or not. I had a fondness for his stuff back in the Budokai games before DBZ Kai was even a thing. I'm kind of a stupid soundtrack nerd, and things like this are significant factor in my enjoyment. I like the Frieza and Cell arcs, despite all their problems, but the substitute music just sucks. I never heard how the Kikuchi score was utilized in the original DBZ, but I have to imagine it it was notably better than what we are getting now.

All I'm saying if that if Sumitomo's stuff (which I'm unfamiliar with) is any good at all and isn't crippled, like what we are getting now, it's a boon to me despite everything else.

I'm mostly looking forward to seeing the gohan in highschool kai version as the manga did that stuff much cleaner and faster so I am curious how they edited for kai and if they added new scenes to make it more true to the manga.

I could watch the japanese version but well...
I really don't want to watch gohan on screen in japanese.
nor most of the cast really as I dislike the japanese voices for most of the characters, so yeah...

buu arc won't have a proper soundtrack on toonami because it will be missing the GOAT

 

[Jarate]

Falcouner music is by far the best score

 

[Man God]

Nah, too much music all the time.

Plagiarist had the best score, because he stole it.

thats not a knock against the music, just the direction

 

[Mizerman]

It couldn't cut the mustard enough, dude!

His Budokai Soundtrack was some good shit

Sumitomo has been the composer for all the recent dragon ball stuff, including the movies and super. Haven't heard Buu Kai at all, but if it's anything like the movies, then it's mostly serviceable but nothing that sticks out.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

His Budokai Soundtrack was some good shit

That was plagiarized as well, which is why they removed it from the Budokai HD Collection.

The Buu Kai arc music isn't great by any means either with a lot of cheap synth, but it should be better than the same Kikuchi tracks played ad nauseam throughout the entire arc.

The other problem is that Toei went cheap on the remastering process and did it themselves instead of sending it to Q-TEC like Kai 1.0. So there is a noticeable green tint that looks really terrible.

The one on the left is the original vs. the color corrected version a fan on Kanzenshu did. Many other countries used this same master, so there isn't much hope that Funimation fixes it.

 

[Seda]

oof

 

[Mizerman]

Well then.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

As for best soundtrack the original score placement was easily better than anything than Faulconer ever used.

Especially in the Freeza saga.

 

[Zonic]

so wut u guys r saiyan is

Buu this arc

Buuuuuuuuuu

 

[unknownstranger]

I don't remember much from the Buu Saga storywise but pretty much every fight from it is up on YouTube somewhere.

 

[Hellwarden]

Yikes, that does look a bit rough...

 

[Moaradin]

Yeah that is unfortunate.

Funimation has been sitting on it for ages now if rumors were true. So maybe they can do something about it? They've done it in the past.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Does anyone know when the Naruto/Sasuke final fight begin?

 

[Regiruler]

Wooo new Toonami thread!

Also, oh no, I'm slipping on the leaderboard!

Jesus dude you're right above me, I remember when you were in the top 3.

Does anyone know when the Naruto/Sasuke final fight begin?

The what? In Shippuden? We're in the Jiraya flashback arc.

 

[Chase17]

Does anyone know when the Naruto/Sasuke final fight begin?

Oh, I guess I should check that out.

Looks like it's up.

 

[Cornbread78]

well, hello friends.

 

[Neoxon]

Hello, new thread.

Less than a month until JoJo.
