I'm BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm... on topic? what's with the teaser saying new anime?

[Jingai]

 I think they are refering to Moribito, which will begin showing Aug. 23. 

That is what passes for advertisement now I suppose, cryptic cereal box bumps.

[SayanSudoku]

Ah ha! I thought we had to wait longer

[GypsyWoman72]

congrats on ranking Sayan!

i'm looking forward to this new show, i wonder what the new schedule will look like when they add it.

[Jingai]

 Hard telling, but Aug. 16th the ATHF movie will be shown on Saturday in a feeble attempt

to garner ratings.  

 Current speculation is that Moribito will be on after Code Geass, and Cowboy Bebop will go away.

 Nice to see the new rank Ansu.

Wilhelm, just hang out in IB with the rest of us. 

   Culling Conservatives,  it is the Weekend in Review.

New Schedule, be sure to thank [adult swim] for letting us know about it.

 Shin Chan : Yanro and an extended ass dance sequence. What more could you ask for? 

Maybe pizza?

 Bleach : Why is it that all shounen villains leave their scorned lovers alive? Everyone knows they

are going to end up trying to ruin the evil take over the world plan, so you would think it would be

written on the walls of the villian's bathroom to not leave scorned lovers alive. Also, Uryu needs

to just go ahead and ask Yoshino out for tea or something. Filler is bad enough,

but awful shounen repressed romance sub plots are just painfully bad to watch.

How utterly true, now if villians would just watch anime shows instead of planning to take over the world...then they'd know that.   

 Code Geass : Lloyd continues to be the sole reason to watch this show. Viletta is still hot, and

Lulu is still obnoxious. On another note, why does C2 have to look like an extra from Moulin Rouge?

 Death Note : Well, having done his one decent deed for the decade last week, Light returns to his old

abusive self. I am curious as to why the Death Notes have so many rules to begin with. The Shinigami

don't need the extra rules; if they need years, they just write a name and collect the 1-up mushroom.

The rules seem to be of consequence only to humans, so I think that whatever created the Death Notes in the 

first place put those rules in place for the lulz, just like Ryuk dropping Sidoh's book.

Rules for lulz, interesting idea. 

  GiTS : Awesome show is awesome. I am glad to see it back on the air.

Me too!

  Cowboy Bebop : I love the 70's gangster vibe with this episode. Edward is such a perfect comic

foil for that sort of theme, and Ein rules. The mushrooms, and the aftermath of the mushrooms are

in such a perfect spirit of the era being depicted in this episode.  Nice to see Bebop back on the air as well.

It's my second favorite episode, I love the chase at the end, and the cow and Ein talking.

it'll be nice if they keep GitS

[Jingai]

  Current rumors are that they will keep GiTS for a full run.

Does anyone ever question how Paradigm City in Big O can even be powered? The cars look like they have some sort of interesting engine that may use hydrogen... and for that matter how are the bigs powered? What I mean is that the city is seemingly completely isolated apart from that one Hydroelectric dam. That was a good episode. I think I just answered my own question actually...

Anywho, isn't anybody curious why they don't have Big O on insted of fricking Mission Hill or (Dear God) The Oblongs? Those shows give me cancer

[Blazeman47]

*Pictures Roger Smith pumping regular unleaded into Big O's foot.*

Seriously though, I think the only way they could power those things is nuclear, but it's been so long since I've seen the series I can barely remember anything about it. If I could make one change to the Saturday schedule it would be Big O instead of GITS, but they're both good.

See? Manly. Plus, Cougar had the car and the shades. Even manlier.

As for Big O, I wouldn't be surprised if it was powered by a fusion reactor. Kind of like Dr. Brown's time machine. The energy requirements may actually be higher, given the destructive power of some of Big O's weapons.

Edit: Typo.

Holy God yeah, like the laser and the big ol' piston in it's arm. That beast is probably a solid chunk of tungsten and lead or some other type of extremely heavy metal. It boggles the mind to think how it can even stand on some of the city streets without falling back down toward the subway system *though arches have been time tested...* A better question is how something that frigging massive can just break through concrete and pipes.

well, construction in Paradigm City is probably a very stable occupation. Hooray collateral damage

[Foley_is_Good_149]

At the rate things are destroyed in that city, there should be 0 unemployment amongst carpenters, masons, electricians, plumbers, architects, surveyors, roofers, ect. Anyone willing to apprentice could be taken on to learn a skilled trade.

Also, stone quarrys and lumber mills would have to operate 24 hours a day.

[Jingai]

 It would rule to own the only Home Depot in Paradigm City...  

[Foley_is_Good_149]

How about the proprietor of several across the city? I don't think one store would be able to handle receiving and stocking with how much volume they'd have to move for one store to keep up with demand. But yeah, that proprietor would be the second-wealthiest person in Paradigm, second only to Rosewater.

You'd really need several locations, because what if you had only one location and a battle of mega-deuces broke out there?  Oh well, there goes the profit, supplies, and any hope of rebuilding Paradigm City any time soon. 

[Jingai]

 I concur, unless you have like Big Home DepOt to protect your site from

all the other mega dueces.

  Big Home DepOt, sure would, or would that attract attacks from other mega-deuces.

Remember that one episode where that Leviathan just made everything turn to dust. Boy that must have been a long day.

another thing that bothers me about it is the economy. I mean it's only really self sustaining and it doesn't do any forign trade ovbiously. Ah Big O, how marvelously full of paradoxes, impossableities, and confusion you are. *especially the last episode, holy Chrivst*

[Foley_is_Good_149]

About the Leviathan episode, at least the unskilled workers could get a day or so worth of work sweeping up.

[Wilhelm_of_Coal]

The Megadeauses are probably the main economy in that town. Aside from making fancy things for rich people and feeding it's own citizens *and utilities and such as well* that's the only thing that really makes any money.

[Foley_is_Good_149]

The various support industries (steel, electronics, petrochemical [lubricants]) for the Megadei (Megadeuses? I've never really been sure on the plural form there.) probably do all right as well.

[Jingai]

 In all honesty, I think the self sustainment is a bit of a stretch.

The service industries, medical, mechanical, etc. all probably do well,

but I think that there is probably not much in the way of money being used.

After all, if the electrical workers union went on strike, the city could be shut down,

same with water. I'd guess it is all controlled by the city government.

[Wilhelm_of_Coal]

(wow this was a good topic)

A lot of things on Big O are rather farfetched. It still blows my mind that their were armies of Megadai *that was right btw*

haha, medical mechanica...
