Expanding on Fillers

Yeah, I know. Even more proving my point, seeing as they only have to translate while Japan actually makes the episodes even faster.

Well, I know that anime is taken much more seriously in Japan, so the hugest of companies that aren't making toilets smarter than me are having such a large staff compared to FUNimation's staff create it.

It might also have something to do with the Japanese approach to TV. After all, no US drama show runs all year long without interuption. I think that the spreading of dubbed episodes is only partly for time, and mainly because it allows interest to naturally drop between seasons, so that they can get big viewers when they advertise "NEW EPISODES!"

Professional wrestling, anyone?

(I'm going to go hide now...)

Hey, it was good stuff back in '98 through maybe '00 at the very latest before it got over saturated with the same old formula (like some other show), but instead of creating GT it introduced televised prostitution to attempt a ratings comeback. Vince likes to appeal to whitetrash while Toei, god who knows what Toei was trying to appeal to with GT...dumb people and dumber kids.

I'm partly joking, of course.

But the old school stuff (Hulk's Rock N Wrestling, anyone?) was good stuff. "Whatcha gonna do, when the Hulkster and his 28" pythons runn wiiild on yoou, BROTHER!!!" *snarle*
Mean Gene: "Ooohh my!! Incredible!"

I don't know what's worse, TWO WWF champions or SSJ3.

C'mon, don't act like you didn't play Royal Rumble or King of the Ring or whatever when you were younger.

Actually, I'm still a very big fan of wrestling. My username is a pun on 'Triple H' and my first name (Rachel), though I don't even like him anymore.

But shhhhh, must get back on topic now. In general, people really hate wrestling, and don't take kindly to the mention of it...

Oh, I know you didn't just compare that gay-erotica soap opera to the greatest level of Super Saiyan...

SonGohan-san · Post by **SonGohan-san** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 2:48 am

It's comparable.

That's how much I despise SSJ3.

Yeah. I said it. SSJ3 IS LAME.

Seeing Goku go SSJ3 is like watching Wrestlemania 7.

hahahahahahahaha...

But to be fair, I don't completely stereotype ALL wrestling fans because I resent the stereotype that is placed on anime fans, so anyways...

By the way, TripleRache, I'm not too keen on Hunter myself. He's no Mick Foley, though in the words of Motorhead, "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GAAAAAAAAME AND HOW YOU PLAY ME" yeah, he's no Goku...or Mr. Satan. But I do like puns, so...
Hows about that DEEBAYZAY?

Nah, I'd say that Super Saiya-jin 3's far worse. The low brows, the lack of expression... It's like looking at a neanderthal version of the Saiya-jin. I'm thankful that Vegeta never achieved that form. He would've looked ten times worse than Goku did. Yuck...

I'm really hapy I figured that one out on my own...

What's wrong with being into wrestling? Hey I don't judge people on what they're into. Okay maybe if you think Riverdance is the greatest show on earth, but other than that, hey if that's what you enjoy, great for you! And I feel the same way as SonGohan-san that people into anime get judged enough, so why would I do it to somebody else? Although anime fans even get judged by one another. *sigh.* Sad.

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 9:54 am

Yeah. Very sad. But that's why we have invented such classic techniques as "hurt", "stab", and "skewer". It's to return sadness... well, to their next of kin.

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 10:10 am

Now, now Zacko. Don't forget "choke", "maim", and "blow-up".

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 2:38 pm

I am obviously far too cool to watch wrestling.

Triple-H though does induce feelings of hatred almost as stron as the Garlic Jnr saga. Why, god, why? Why are you there? You have no charisma, you're not funny, and you can't even wrestle to any decent level. I know you're shagging the boss' daughter, but still...

SonGohan-san · Post by **SonGohan-san** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:24 pm

Don't underestimate the Hunter's knee lift, which evokes exciting memories of Hogan's ultra-cool leg drop.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:43 pm

Oh, come on. He had a match with Shawn Michaels and managed to make it shit, and that's almost impossible.

Er, again, not that I watch it. Or Star Trek.

Tsk, I'm hurting my sexy cool image here.

SonGohan-san · Post by **SonGohan-san** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:48 pm

YOU'RE A TREKY?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Crap, Dr. Phil's almost over.

Later!

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 5:54 pm

Oh, man. You guys and your shows that you only pretend to hate. But what about me? Nothing at all to be ashamed about. Fear my awesomeness.

Oh wait, I don't really watch anything other than anime. Except for when I just turn on the TV to some slightly funny sitcom while I computanize.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 8:05 pm

You have an online persona with a name taken from an anime show! And not only that, you have based it on the Japanese version of the name.

You have got the "nerd" power-up and won the game.

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 8:38 pm

Well, at least I'm at the top of the bottom. Man, it all happened so fast... I must be really good at video games.

SonGohan-san · Post by **SonGohan-san** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 9:21 pm

Well Trek, the only thing I'm missing is cool avatar so I guess I have to forefeight to you... Who's image would I have picked to represent me? Probably Darth Maul or Gandalf. I was also thinking of a name like, "SSJ18Gogeta" or "Tao Popeye" but my nerdy otakuness just came out. I wished I had named myself just "Goku" or "IloveFuimation", LOL<--- that's internet slang.
