General Action Discussion

Trunks's Experiment Block Discussion

Volume 17

This thread was originally created so that I could discuss many series I was new to and just beginning. I was able to discuss and ask questions easier then I could in a episode discussion and could remain unspoiled on series that were new to me. The thread still provides this service, as well as helping many others in a similar situation. Those who are starting series and want to have a place for fun and intelligent discussion while being able to ask questions and remain unspoiled on series new to them.

Enjoy and play nice now, kids.

Yay, new thread! Still haven't watched last weekend's Brotherhood, but got my new One Piece and Black Butler today. Anime to tide me over at least for the rest of the week!

Come on, Dragon!

...Don't give me that look. Toy Story's nominated for like 87 other things, and you know this is probably Dreamworks' only shot of ever getting an Oscar.

[Metatronda]

Except Dreamworks has won the Best Animated Feature Award twice.


Best Animated Feature winners (in order of first win) are:

Dreamworks (2)
Studio Ghibli (1)
Pixar (5)
Aardman (1)
Animal Logic (1)



But really, Toy Story 3 is nominated for Best Picture. Toy Story 3 has already won.

[mgangel1124]

Really?

...So if they are capable of making more than one good movie, why do they make 47 Shrek sequels for every How to Train Your Dragon?

[DreamTheater2112]

Aren't they planning on making a sequel for How to Train Your Dragon

...if so it'd only be a 2:1 ratio >_>

[mgangel1124]

Don't remind me.

Although, if they aged Hiccup up a couple years, I wouldn't have to feel so creepy...

[DreamTheater2112]

I think it'd be a good sequel (totally not optimistically biased cuz I loved the first one, just not quite as much as you did)

[Top_Gun]

Wow, I saw...three of the movies nominated for anything. A new record!

Also, Trunks, man, you should totally simplify the process next time around. Just make the title "Trunks' Place" and the first post "Yo."

[Metatronda]

Another interesting thing to note with the Oscars this year: the host is nominated for Best Actor.

[mgangel1124]

Inb4trunks.

[_Boxers_]

HEY GUYS, IF ANIMUS WAS OSCARS, WHAT WOUL- Wait no, that's dumb.

Oh well. At least I tried.

[_Boxers_]

......................D: Well, I do like Anne Hathaway, but...


She's no Javier Bardem. D: Not as sexy as hoped.
