Pfffff jajjaja that shade on the lost agent arc, its not for everyone, but its an amazing saga to me

Jey R

The Fullbringer arc in the manga was a snoozefest. I quit reading the manga during that arc, and came back later during TYBW arc. I recently rewatch it in the anime, and it wasn't bad, but it has a very different tone from the rest of Bleach. You can even see elements of the Fullbringer arc inspire JJK

Xonok

The Zanpakuto rebellion is one of the best filler arcs in shounen. The zanpakuto spirit designs were done by Kubo, at least the designs are canon.

Xonok

its VERY exciting. when i saw bibbo.......HUGE SMILE. and i waited to hear that force to make sure they got that long islandesque accent down. love how sterotypical new york he is

They watched one episode like 2 yrs ago. I think it was a fan pick from patreon or something. Not sure if they still do that.

Thicc Thanos

finish? didnt know they watched doom patrol but yes the first season is an amazing story. best depiction of mental health i've seen in a genre show. not just how the characters behave with each of their "issue" but with how they connect with each other and show compassion. AMAZING and beautiful

rickie woodson

so thats what im "missing" by not being on tiktok.................HA! no things. its for the birds

rickie woodson

Nikkolas as the Sunday Rundown guest please!

Husk

As someone who has seen both Angel and Buffy during their OG runs it brings me joy to see people enjoying it now so many years after the fact. One main thing that i always loved about these series is the heroes aren't prefect, in many ways they are flawed. Buffy for example is Childish, Self-Rightous, Self-Centered and Entilted and these flaws are displayed through out the entire series.

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

Yes but remember Buffy did the same thing to Giles earlier in the series after Angel returned from "hell" she disguarded her friends feelings to do what she thought was right then gets mad when Angel does the same.

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

I’m only here for the Micky hate. Keep throwing him under the bus! 😂

DopefIamingo

Faith had just stolen Buffy's body and violated her and her boyfriend with it, so I think Angel is being pretty awful to Buffy considering.

Gwenhwyfar Aine

I still love how all the guys immediately knew Willow and Tara were into each other, but the girls were like "NO! You guys are just pervs!" 😂

Gwenhwyfar Aine

Doom Patrol please!!

apguyhere

Lookin better already, thanks gang. Also, it's super dope that things worked out this way with Castlevania with Nocturne coming now!

A. P.

I also enjoyed the gotei 13 invading army, specifically the ending which I found to be impactful, although the zanpakuto rebellion is still number one.

Jackie Gibson

Now that you guys are balls deep in DC and have seen more of the weirder characters I would love for you guys to finally finish reacting to Doom Patrol. The first season especially is so good. It’s starts off feeling goofy for goofy’s sake in the beginning just like Peacemaker, but then it’s gets a lot deeper as it goes on just like Peacemaker. The topics it touches on get heavvyy but they’re handled in a great way that’s tasteful. Plus the performances are really good. I know you guys would love this show, just gotta give it a chance. It’s another one of DC’s crown jewels. 👍

The Quadfather

Wait when do they mention one piece?

Thanatos

No homo lol does no one remember Darma and Greg super gay. This show is from the 90s 97 to be exact lasted 5 seasons and was really funny from what I remember, even my father watched and liked it.(and Excuse my vinacular but even as straight nixxas we watch and enjoyed it and that's saying something in the 90s.

To your point, I was born in an era where they still used rotary phones, smart phones were science fiction, and the internet was still a department of defense thing. In just 40 years we've seen a massive spike in technological achievement and can't imagine what technology will look like 40-100 years from now. Humans are extremely adaptable to the circumstances it finds itself in.

Chaos T

They can form their own opinions when they get there. Unfortunately yours are wrong.

Castlevania Nocturne right after season 4 is gonna be good 👍

MojoJojoGojo

“Great arc” yeah okay when even the fillers are better.

Sonicluis

*Fortunately, it's a great arc.

Shockzz1234

Yeah seems like they skipped JJK today. Sad, since it's gonna be on a break now for a bit.

Shockzz1234

Never understood the hate for the Fullbring Arc. I think it's fantastic.

Shockzz1234

Unfortunately the Fullbringer arc is canon

Benjamin Donahue

Wait, did JJK comments not make it in? I could've sworn I read some.

Johnny Blue

Break suggestions: Can we get a Lostie in here? We don't get enough Nikki outside of her reaction shows and she's adorable. I wouldn't mind getting two temp hosts for a week when both of you are out on PTO. You two may be gone, but the comments still need to be read every week. Saturday Morning YJ streams with Rana sounds cool. I'd tune in.

Johnny Blue

Feel like giving my thoughts as well on the filler arcs. Shout out to the last comment for Bleach Sunday rundown. Bount Arc: This arc is the most hated by everyone especially coming right after such an iconic arc like soul society arc. Me personally the arc wasn't bad I actually enjoyed it, though it is long and kinda dragged out but of all the filler arcs I'd rank this the lowest. The other filler arcs are just better. New Captain Arc (Shusuke Amagai): This arc was fire imo. Zanpakuto Rebellion: Like the comment said, easily the best out of the filler arcs, on a general consensus everyone pretty much loves this arc. You guys should definitely watch this perhaps after you finish Bleach, so once you're done with TYBW. Maybe do a poll. The Bleach movies are amazing too ofc. (Only 4 movies) Gotei 13 Invading Army: The second best filler arc imo, this arc was amazing. I respectfully disagree with the comment saying it was forgettable. If I were to rate best to least best: Zanpakuto Rebellion arc, Gotei 13 Invading Army arc, New Captain arc, then Bount arc. One thing about Bleach, they have good filler with dope stories. Fullbringer arc: As you seen they were joking lol. This arc is canon you guys will eventually watch this.

Kayso

Man these comments are getting to college thesis levels in length

Pavi

Would love to see Nikki on Sunday rundown! Love her energy and she is hilarious!

Marcb92

My comment made it to the show, thank you! I feel like I accomplished something. Strange to hear that Chris and Marketa are not interested in watching Ted Lasso, with the themes it deals with it seems like the perfect show for them, especially Marketa P.S. I thought you were the perfect crew for Ted Lasso

Katharina

Would love to see Harley Quinn after young justice, it's hilarious and features one of my favorite superhero couples.

Jackie Gibson

Please don't get my hopes for a One Piece anime reaction. Please don't tease me I can't take it. Would literally be my dream come true.

Jaymison Boeker

The Fullbringer Arc is 100% Canon and was never at any point considered filler (Filler doesn't mean non-Canon, guys. It just means it doesn't tie in with the main story). You literally can't skip it because then the story won't make any sense, idk why that person even brought it up in the first place lol terrible running joke

Psi47

Castlevania

Jesus Perez

I can't imagine skipping it... Like it wasn't my favorite arc but it's very important to the story.

AttackRunRepeat

I vote for Chris and Mickey to do a Sunday rundown

TheyCallMeJeff

Favorite currently is Young Justice. Season 2 is phenomenal and the reactions so far have been excellent and I'm sure will continue given the story that takes place.

Rishi Shukla

What are they taking a break from? Watching TV?

xMaestro21

That article is filled with "Might be" and "they think" alot. A majority if the science community still agrees its atleast 100 years away, and that's us not improving at all, which we are already working on

Unstablebeast

Yes the killing children falls under the "questionable methods" part of my comment not the justifiable cause part. "Good person doing good things for a good cause without harming anyone" doesn't make for a compelling villain nor discussion on morality. You could even argue its essentially the trolley problem on a grander scale with more emotional elements and uncertainty to complicate matters

Liam

Point of no return is in a couple decades. https://www.space.com/climate-tipping-points-closer-than-realized#:~:text=Climate%20tipping%20points%20%E2%80%94%20the%20%22points,tipping%20points%20potentially%20already%20reached.

Eddie

I can't agree killing people is a "reasonable" argument over an unknown quantity and think James Gunn's knee jerk assessment, fueled by media that needs gore porn to survive, is way off base. Frustration with society shouldn't make people abandon reason. This series showed the Butterflies infiltrated and killed children to achieve their goals. There's nothing "reasonable" about that.

Chaos T

Sam did not leave Richmond at the end of the show. He got called up to play for the Nigerian national team for international games. I was joking about Ted’s flight being long! But maybe his plane crashed in the Atlantic and he survived w/his friend “Nike” by his side as they slowly sailed to the U.S. And he was still happy & optimistic throughout the whole thing.

Eddie

I personally don't think the intended message of Peacemaker is that they were necessarily objectively right to stop the butterflies. I think it's meant to make you make your own mind up, because there are reasonable arguments to be made both ways. In fact James Gunn himself seems to almost err on the side of the butterflies in interviews, citing anti-climate change and then the anti-vax/anti-mask movement happening during covid infuriating him as he was writing the show, he wanted to write a layered "villain" with a just cause but questionable methods. Also specifically mentioning how Peacemaker just believes anything he reads on facebook as an indictment of the general public's reaction to climate control and vaccines.

Liam

Chris and Pat do a sunday rundown while you are away

Macs

Human free will and agency are more important than a hypothetical in the Peacemaker universe that may not happen for numerous reasons. The Butterflies had their chance to improve their own society and wasted it by destroying their planet. They have no right to determine humanity's fate nor should humanity trust their ability to get it right this time around when the track record shows they have a 100% failure rate. The Butterflies aren't the Federation from Star Trek where they proved itself to have a track record of making right decisions thus we can give them the benefit of doubt on their actions. If they're willing to kill innocent people including children to achieve their goal, their decision making should be questioned. The Butterflies claim they want to fix the planet from the results of human decision making yet they use an extreme human tactic to achieve those goals. That shows me they haven't intellectually evolved much from what they were when their planet was destroyed.

Chaos T

it is in fact.. "Move them Butt" as well as "Booty Butt" 🙆🏾‍♂

mkFerg24

Bleach: Personally, idk why that person posted about all the filler arcs. Some of their opinions are helpful, there are some good filler arcs, but the arcs go very out of the way to disrupt the flow of the canon stuff. They should be considered after you guys finish Bleach imo. Also, the Fullbring arc is literally not filler, there's a part of the fanbase that wants to say it's filler but it's from the manga so it's quite obviously canon.

Charlie Maletich

FOR SUNDAY RUNDOWN To explain bleaches afterlife a bit more, while the normal people that go there do not see, they will eventually die, basically their reitsu is constantly going down, when it reaches nothing, or when they are killed for some reason, the reincarnate. Some soul reapers were people that died, but due to high reitsu they begin to age and become soul reapers, living for hundreds to thousands of years depending on how much they have, but some soul reapers, were born in the soul society, such as byakuya. But basically similar to feeling hunger, you only age if you have high reitsu, and anyone with high reistu tends to become a soul reaper Also hollows are Spanish, soul reapers are Japanese, and if you listened to the names of uryus abilities, you'd notice quincy are german.......well, were

Unstablebeast

So, in terms of climate change, idk ehat scientists suraj is listening to, but the point of actual no return is like, another 100 to 200 years being as bad as we are now, but we are already working to vastly improve, scientists in Japan are working towards plastic eating orginisms, people are lobbying for nuclear power which is the best power for the environment, work still needs to be done, but we are making progress

Unstablebeast

It would be awesome if you would react to the Zanpakuto arc.

Orjanu Mircea

My favorite reaction series that you’re covering at the moment is easily Young Justice! I waited a long time for y’all to finally react to it. And I love that y’all are loving it so much ❤️

@eric.na.goo.yen

I would love if they will watch the Zanpakuto arc, which is really good...but they can't skip the Fullbring arc, I mean, it's canon.

Orjanu Mircea

To clear things up the Zanpakuto arc is filler and can be voted on to watch it or not but the Fullbring arc is absolutely integral to the story of Bleach and must be watched so please do not skip the fullbring arc.
