Never saw this the first time around, I keep hearing it sucks. But we'll see.

[zoombie]

Does the main character whine about his life in the first episode like a lot of the main characters in this block?

[Kitschensyngk]

Cheap license, or appeal to the old school Toonami fans? You make the call.

In any case, if this isn't the show's dub premiere, at least it'll be the first Nabeshin series on U.S. basic cable.

[zoombie]

I rather they use their money on Fairy Tail.

[animePWNS]

So Tenchi joins the Dead Poets Society in this one?

4:3 ratio.

[Kitschensyngk]

Weird hearing Tenchi Masaki sound like Hibiki Tokai.

I remember seeing the first episode of this. I remember thinking what happened to the princesses, the pirate, the cops and the self-appointed Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe.

THAT GIRL'S PANTIES JUST DROPPED.

[JShaggy]

Wow. Seina has a whole lotta bad luck. More than that, he causes bad luck for others as well.

There are.................... SOOOOOO many criticisms I can give about Fairy Tail. SOOOOOO many. Argue to each their own if you like, but after learning much about scene direction from my advisor while working on an important animation project for my school, I'm now fully realizing everything about that show that bothers me so much and why I wouldn't want it to be on Toonami. But that's for another topic on its own.


On another note, so apparently this main character is the Eugene Horowitz of anime.

[animePWNS]

Man, his bad luck is like a virus.

[Kitschensyngk]

This guy is a danger to himself and others.

[FFmax]

Lmao, this kid has crappy luck.

[Kitschensyngk]

I know that house.

What's Mihoshi gone and done THIS time?

Hey, you're not Mihoshi!!

[JShaggy]

The Misaki House by the lake makes an appearance. Too bad nobody's home.

Spoke too soon.

[animePWNS]

Rescued by Kaoru Kamiya.

Big...round...deep...

[ChibiGoku]

Boobs.... They are truly the ultimate evil of this.

[Kitschensyngk]

"Thanks for rescuing me, but can I have my pants back?"
There's an unusual line.

Hello gratuitous fanservice.

FALL IN DAMMIT!!

This kid can't win for losing.

[Hypeathon]

HOLY CRAP!! This guy is WORSE than Eugene Horowitz! How's that possible?!

[zoombie]

So he is not a whiner. He is a blue eyed optimised. Those guys annoy me just as much as whiners. And that blond lady, is she a pedro or what?

This isn't Excel Saga we are talking about here.
