Notes:

Please have a nice discussion of the episode.

Spongebob - "The" historic cartoons of our generation?

Cartoons90 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:06:56 GMT

I put this here, because it deals with the entire animation landscape, rather than specifically Nickelodeon...

Do you think in decades from now, people will look back at Spongebob as "THE" defining, soon to be historic cartoon of our decade/generation? Some cartoons transcend time in that they are popular for ever and a day...Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, the list goes on. Is Spongebob the equivalent of that to our generation?

Sgt. Frog's Secret World Domination Thread (Anime of the Month 11/2009)

JShaggy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:19:54 GMT

Note from JShaggy: This is a bit late getting posted (been hammered with other things at the moment), but here is this month's Anime of the Month already in progress.

[beginning transmission]

GREETINGS EARTH!!

Keroro: We have invaded your precious AotM for the month of November to begin our first steps in conquering this planet and all of its inhabitants. There shall be no mercy for those who try to oppose us in our plans for world domination. And now for your readable pleasure, here's a synopsis of Part 1 of the first season of our story:

It's a far cry from the glory of battle, but hey, at least he's got his own room. And though the invasion may have slowed to a hop, Sergeant Frog still occasionally yearns to overcome his karaoke addiction and reassemble his troops. Watch out world, the frogs are taking over!

Keroro: YOU IDIOT!! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!

Kululu: You said that you wanted us to post up a synopsis of our story, but this was all that Funimation supplied us with at the moment. Kukukukukukukuku!

Keroro: But ...... that makes me look like I'm incompetent. Couldn't you have altered some of the synopsis to make me look badass.

Giroro: Hey, I'm the only badass around here. Now can we get this done and over with already. I don't want to spend another minute babbling to these worthless beings.

JShaggy (whom is tied up and gagged at the moment): *muffled voice* Hey, get me out of here. You can't do this to me.

Giroro: Quiet, human! [Zaps JShaggy]

Keroro: Sorry about that. *ahem* Now then, humans. Discuss away about our glorious regime, keeping in mind that if you're to give away any of our secrets, you must place them in spoiler tags like this:

Spoiler:

We order you to rate our series as well, as this information is key to our master plan to enslave you all. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have another Gundam to build and add to my endless army of soldiers.

C&C- Bleach - "The Moment of Conclusion: Grimmjow's finale"[11/21]

Megaman X — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:00:47 GMT

Bleach is on at 1:00am eastern with ONE brand new episode!

Last time: The showdown between Ichigo and Grimmjow heated up as Ichigo released his mask and Grimmjow released his zanpakuto showing his resurrection form. Ichigo and Grimmjow fought back and back with equal amounts of strength until Grimmjow kept firing his cero at Ichigo, who had Orihime and Nel right behind them, Ichigo with his power protected them but lost pieces of his mask in the process. Grimmjow kept taking down Ichigo and eventually shoved him in the corner thinking it was the very end of the fight, but Orihime cries and tells Ichigo to not die, and then suddenly.. Ichigo says "Sorry Grimmjow, but I can't die here" and slashes him right in the chest..

Today: The battle ends, who shall come out on top? Can Ichigo defeat Grimmjow and save Orihime? Or shall Grimmjow really prove to be stronger than Ichigo? This part of the Hueco Mundo arc ends tonight!

Time for the Espada roll call!

Spoiler:

So from left to right we have
Ulquiorra Schiffer (Rank: 4th) - Is fairly cold and indifferent to most and one of Aizen's most loyal Espada responsible for kidnapping Orihimie and psychogically trying to break her. Which apparently isn't working too well but he did take out Ichigo. In turn Grimmjow helped revive Ichigo and sent this guy to some parallel dimension where he can annoy others with his emo indifference.

Stark (Former Nickname: Lazy Bones. Rank: Unknown) - An Espada who likes his sleep. So much so he sleeps through hearing fellow Espada dying. Has an annoying female follower named Lilyenette who appearntly likes beating him up whenever he sleeps which I suspect are quite often.

Nnoitra (Formerly known as Spoonhead. Rank: Unknown) - Is tall and has a creepy smile made even more creepy by the fact he sounds like Dean Venture hitting puberty. Nnoitra has a Fraccion (an Arrancar chosen by an Espada to follow them) named Tesla and does not like fighting weak opponents wanting to be acknowledged as the strongest even if he already thinks he is. Thus why he didn't kill Chad cause... well Chad kind of sucks.

Halibel (Former Nickname: Mrs. Underboob/Censorboob. Rank: Unknown) - The only female Espada who got her nickname due to her arrancar uniform, which as you can see was censored when it hit the anime. Has three female Fraccion followers (Mila Rose, Sun Sun and Apache) and is watching Ichigo and Grimmjow's battle and comments how it's like an Espada battle more then anything. And that's all we know about her.

Aaroniero Arruruerie (DECEASED) (Rank: 9th. Former Nickname: Mr. Bubbles. Arrancar Zanpakto: Glotoneria). Now it can be revealed: Aaronierio is the only Gillian member of the Espada. A two head weirdo who can actually absorb a hollow's abilities and powers when it dies. He actually ate the hollow who ate Kaien which explains why he can take his form. He's also the first Espada to show off his resurrecion which is some sort of giant.. purple tentacle monster with two jaws on either side of his body. He has the power of thousands of hollows and the potential to use all of their powers in his resurrecion form. Ruika killed him by stabbing him in the head. However he played his death to the other Espada and seemingly killed Ruika when she killed him.

Yammy (Rank: 10th) -The first Espada we've met and from what we've seen essistanly dumb and fairly easy to beat. If you're not Orihime or Chad that is.

Old Guy (Nickname Due To Not Being Named Yet. Rank: Unknown) Nothing really know about him besides the fact he's... old. And complains when people die stupidly.

Syazel Aporro Granz(Rank: 8th Former Nickname: NERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD and The Prissy one) - The younger brother of Illford Granz (15th Arrancar and one of Grimmjow's Fraccions killed by Renji 40 episodes ago) Syzael is apparently the scientist of Hueco Mundo and enjoys collecting new expierments to work on, even those of his fallen team-mates and family members. A fairly sick and twisted indivudal but his fact finding made him able to counter all of Renji and Uryu's attack with only his shirt sustaining any true damage. The group has elected to run away from this weirdo but will they run far enough to truley escape him?

Affirmative Action Arrancar (Nickname Due To Not Being Named Yet. Rank: Unknown) - He's Affirmative action because he's the only true black arrancar/Espada in the anime. Yammy's more mexcian, Underboob's a mulatto and Tosen isn't an arrancar. Shown mediating after Aarenerio's death).

Grimmjow Jagerjaquez - Rank: 6th. (Zanpakuto: Pantera) Ichigo's Espada rival who reclaimed his spot after offing Luppi His rage and rebelling attiduing also makes him one of the more popular Espada. Especially when he smacked around the two ****** who were harassling Orihime, brought the orange haired "princess" to Ichigo so she could heal him, sent Ulqouirra somewhere and is about to fight Ichigo for what could be the final time. Grimmjow did release his Zanpakto (It's name Pantera which turns him into some sort of blue kitty kat man) and is trying to get Ichigo to fight him with all he has. There's a bit more to Grimmjow though that we'll find out tonight.

NO SPOILERS: NO TALK OF FUTURE ARCS, EVENTS, AND ETC! ALL FUTURE TALK MUST STAY IN THE ANIME FORUM! PLEASE SUPPORT THE DUB WATCHERS! Oh guys..NO HINTING FOR THIS EPISODE, AT LEAST NOT FOR THIS ONE, and you know what I mean by hinting >_>.

Notes: Well guys this is it, we went from the end of the Soul Society arc of Aizen's betrayal to Filler Bounts to Arrancars and now to Hueco Mundo. Yep, this is the last episode of Bleach for a long time. The show is going on hiatus and taking a bit of a break, yet if you still want more Bleach, in two more weeks Adult Swim will be airing the second movie "The Diamond Dust Rebellion", which is on December 5th. Next week to take Bleach's place, is the first movie, so if you missed it, there is your chance.

Enjoy the episode guys, honestly...it's a bit strange that were up to this part, it has not been that long ago since Japan has aired this.(Only a year and half ago to be exact)

C&C - Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit - "Chasing After Sig Salua" [11/21]

macattack — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:58:57 GMT

There's only three episodes to go after this one. The final confrontation is upon us.

Spoiler:

Will a new twist be thrown our way our episode? Spring is fast approaching, and so is the end of Shin-Yogo. Will rain fall on the world again? We will have our answers very, very soon.

"WWE Survivor Series" 2009 Prediction Thread

The Penguin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:06:39 GMT

Who will survive? Make you predictions for Survivor Series by Sunday at 8 p.m. ET, picks cannot be made or edited after that time.

The Survivor Series has six scheduled matches, so everyone's total will be out of six. If you refuse to pick on principle, Kippy has no clue who you want, or you just plain miss it, you will get it wrong.

Please note that in the Survivor Series matches, the winning team is the answer. Pick the Sole Survivors if you want, but it doesn't mean anything. You get the matches right or wrong based on the team you predicted.

Remember, matches announced after the thread has been posted will not be counted. There is no reason to predict a match that is announced Saturday as there will be no points awarded.

WWE Championship - Triple Threat Match
Champion John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H

World Heavyweight Championship - Triple Threat Match
Champion The Undertaker vs. Unified Tag Team Champion Big Show vs. Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho

Please remember this thread encompasses anything to do with predictions. Should you feel the need to tally up your score, "challenge" people, or tell the story of the "match for the championship" that is going to fit in here, not the talkback thread for the event which will of course be posted Sunday.

Discontinued/Rare DVDs That Need to be Re-Released

SpongeJosh — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:46:56 GMT

Plenty of movies and shows have been released that were popular among only a small number of people, had a cult following, or had a limited run. These DVDs became hard to find and other fans were unable to get a hold of them. Now if you can find them, they're at really unreasonable prices.

One of these is Invader ZiM: Complete Invasion. Every now and then this set or one of its volumes will show up at a reasonable price on Amazon or Hot Topic, otherwise expect to see it listed at over $150, and that's without the house box and extras disc. I picked up one of the last 2 at $27 when they popped up on Amazon this summer, but now it's listed as $180. For fans who have yet to pick it up, they'll have a hard time doing so.

Then there's Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie. The OVA was first released in 1999, edited, and then it was re-released in 2004, unedited. Both of these are hard to find now. I've had the edited VHS since 2003, and was unaware it had been re-released unedited on DVD until it was discontinued. Now the 1999 edition goes for $165 and the 2004 edition goes for $150. And the movie's only 58 minutes. It's been another 6 six years and I wish whoever has the rights now would re-release it. And it would sure be a long-shot, but I'd love to see "True Blue" on blu-ray.

TMNT 2K3: Ninja Tribunal is becoming hard to find and many sites have it going for about $40, but you can still find it for under $10. Some of the crappy season 3 volumes can be hard to find as well. Hopefully Nick re-releases the all of TMNT 2K3 properly.

The Sonic X season sets released before the saga sets are also becoming hard to find. Season 5 goes for $100 on some sites and season 6 isn't nearly as bad, but still much more expensive than not too long ago. I'm glad I picked these up when I did as the prices rose only shortly after.

That's all from me for now, but what DVDs would you guys like to see re-released because of rarity?

Behind the scenes at "Ren and Stimpy" back in the 90's

CrazyChase — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:43:48 GMT

While I am going to warn you guys that the following will have the "Spumco rules, Games drool" talk, these magazine articles do have some really interesting behind the scenes stories about some of the "Ren and Stimpy" episodes while they were still in production. If you're that type of person who likes that...

Here's the Spumco magazine.

And here's the Games magazine.

But in case you're still dubious about these articles, well, they did mention that the "See you next time" bumpers were written by Nick, and Mike Kim actually did all the layouts of "Ren's Bitter Half". So again, if you into stuff like that and haven't read these yet, what are you waiting for?

Cartoon Network's Treatment of 6teen & Stoked

Kool345 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:53:57 GMT

What do you think about Cartoon Network's treatment of Stoked and 6teen. Do you thin it is improving the channel? Do you think Cartoon Network's executive that plans the schedule is making a stupid move?

WOW: 6teen used to have about the same amount of timeslots as Johnny Test does now. Still, 6teen should have at least 5 timeslots in the week.

Paralyzed Barbara Gordon question

DR.MID-NITE — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:48:10 GMT

With all of the alien tech available and other possible mystical resources. Is their a reason she is still paralyzed? I find it hard to believe they couldn't cure her paralysis. Is it ever explained why?

Thanks!

Subtitle A Clip

The Huntsman — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:32:10 GMT

This is something that I’ve done on several forums and it’s always a ton of fun if people are willing to participate. There is this website where people can select one of various “Bollywood” clips and then insert their own subtitles; for example, this is one that I’ve just made. I love that guy’s expression at the end. It doesn’t have to make much sense as long as you have fun making it.

Basically, if you want to make one, just click on the first hyperlink in this post. Click on “Make A Movie” and then browse through one of the many clips. Check it out and if you come up with any ideas, just insert the subtitles of your choosing. Once your done, you’ll have to put in a name and an e-mail before you click “send”, and once it uploads, a URL will be shown to you on that same screen. Click the URL and it will load up your subtitled clip, then copy the URL and post it in this thread so that everybody can see it.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but it’s really fast and really easy.
