I really don't think JtO is any better than the HF episodes, and I would suspect any claims to the contrary are due to it being Bionicle and nothing more. There really isn't anything to JtO.

Mawaru Penguindrum is a weird show. Great, but weird.

So far I've only watched the prologue and episode 1.

All in all...not bad, not that good. But it's just the first episode so hey.

Not sure if I'll be able to watch the second episode until tomorrow, though....or...later today I guess?

edit: nevermind watched episode 2.

I have even less to say about it than episode 1. It's not bad, but it's...still unimpressive. Even though it isn't a handful of 90 second videos, it still feels somewhat rushed, so it just...I dunno. It didn't leave me with much to think or feel about.

I will say I wish Onua looked as good as a set as he does in this though. Dang Onua looks solid.

That's not exactly a very legal thing to do, so I wouldn't expect that to be shared here in BZP.

At this point I have a very hard time caring. If they could pull it off in a way that actually makes the new story at all interesting, sure, knock yourself out. If not, well, it's no different from the current situation. Eh.

 

Since I never used Netflix before I would have one question. The last picture in this imgur link says "All episodes March 4". Does this mean that all 4 episodes of this season will be available on March 4?

 

Thanks in advance for any answer 

It's hard to say for sure. The date from the trailer leads me to think that all four episodes will be available March 4th, but reports from Toy Fair say that there will only be two on March 4th, and two more in July. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

The trailer says all episodes will be available on March 4, but notice also that it is labeled "The Journey to One: Season 1." 2 episodes is kind of short for a season, but if it's really being split up like that that is probably what they mean. They probably wouldn't label it Season 1 unless there was more coming later, in any case.

Futurama, Steven Universe, Archer, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, The Powerpuff Girls, Over the Garden Wall, Ben 10...there are likely more. Dunno.

That's just speaking western toons though. If we start getting into anime my list of favorites is ridiculous, as I have watched quite a ridiculous amount. Some I've watched recently that have become favorites include Princess Tutu, the Monogatari series, Hidamari Sketch, Shimoseka, WIXOSS, Gatchaman Crowds, Tesagure! Bukatsumono...bunch others really. I guess I'd count School-Live? I watched too many this past year...Oh yeah! Heartcatch Precure is perfection. Go! Princess is pretty great too. And...meh, yeah. Don't even really get me started.

I'll be 20 in a few months. The big two-oh...

Heck, if you're unhappy about having to pay for Netflix to watch the series, I am guessing you don't have Netflix, in which case: just use a free trial?

Eh. "Hope Lego waits a while before turning this into a videogame" is I think pretty much literally one of the things I was thinking after I got out of the theater when I watched the movie.

This set looks to be about the best one this theme has to offer, and I'd love to own it. i didn't expect it to have quite so much cool stuff.

My only issue with it is I'm more interested in getting Lance or Macy. From the two episodes of the show I watched (likely the only ones I will watch for a while) Clay is just an unbelievable bore. So for that aspect alone I'm not that into it. Will probably try to pick it up at some point in the future though.

Ah, people who clutter the trivia sections of random wiki pages with irrelevant "connections" and "similarities" to random things.

Yeah, I know who it was. The scourge of the internet.

Yeah, I'm surprised to see Warriors and the Skull Spiders here, but I don't mind it at all. It's looking more interesting than ever.

I found a Skull Basher on clearance for half price at Target. Picked it up, he's better than I expected. Only really looks decent from the front, but he's very cool. Makes me want to buy some other skulls...

So with the new Ekimu and his pretty trans blue mask, every single mask from 2015 is gonna be available in at least two colors. Which is pretty rad.

Umarak does look pretty cool too.

I'd like to have a complete set of 2015 sets. Haven't bought any of the summer sets though...

2016 isn't doing anything for me. I just want Umarak and that's about it. We'll see if 2017 has more to offer. So I guess I'm not really gonna be doing much collecting. Which is ok.

Super-mega power? That is one of the most overblown yet coolest ways to say powerful I've ever heard. 

Personally it just reminds me of

I don't feel like crossposting all my thoughts on everything I'm watching, but I'm watching...a bunch. So far it's ok. Pleased to see that my short anime this season aren't stupid 90 second bits of nothing. 8 minutes is good. Erased is probably the best one so far of what I'm watching, had a very strong first episode. Ghost Urn is probably the worst, at the least worse than the manga which itself wasn't too remarkable. As far as other remarkable things go...Divine Gate is...fun ("the water will fill the holes in the floor....BUT IT WON'T FILL THE HOLE IN MY HEART"). It's really cheesy and really dumb. It's probably gonna be really bad. Hoping I can at least derive entertainment from laughing at lines like that though.

Koyomimonogatari is reusing a remarkable number of assets from previous entries in the series which...I guess means they must have a pretty low budget...well, it's good enough for short side stories. Speaking of Monogatari, theaters for the American showings of part 1 of Kizu have been announced, and there's one fairly close to me. Really hoping I can go.

You saw it on most of them? Hm. I thought it was some weird deal that varied from set to set. I have it on my PoF, Gali, Pohatu and Lewa, but I got all of them a while ago. Within the first three months of 2015. None of my others have it that I can tell.

I found the fall season to be pretty meh. Owarimonogatari was great, and One Punch Man was alright, but other than that...Comet Lucifer was just terrible. The Perfect Insider had a really really stupid ending, so that whole series was a bust. Komori-san Can't Decline was for the most part completely unremarkable and bland. I'd say it was completely average, but it managed to fit just enough unnecessary fanservice to tip it into a negative. Meh. Also Attack on titan Junior High. It made so little impression on me I completely forgot it existed until I went and checked just now. So yeah. Meh. 

For winter I'm watching a few continuations, like the last bit of DRRR!!x2 Ketsu, Assassination Classroom 2, and I guess Koyomimonogatari? Also watching a bunch others (Erased, Dagashi Kashi, Dimnsion W, Divine Gate, Koukaku no Pandora, Sekkou Boys, and Galko). Watching a bunch form studios or creators I am either unfamiliar with or wary of, but eh. Gotta take risks sometimes (as I always say, before ending up saddled with garbage like Owari no Seraph or Comet Lucifer for three months...). We'll see.

I've also been making some progress on Other Stuff. I watched Canaan, which was alright. I'm starting up Gravitation currently, watched the OVAs to start with. Pretty comical, though...old. And I'm now in the last season of Hidamari Sketch, it's definitely been getting better since Hoshimittsu started. I enjoy it a lot. Gonna be pretty sad to see it go once I'm finished with it. Also I finished Azumanga Daioh, it was pretty good. I'm watching Princess Tutu now, am almost halfway through. It's pretty much amazing. And I'm like...nearing the last stretch of Futari wa Precure? It was decent up until the end of the first arc, because Porun is just about the worst character ever. He's pretty much ruining the whole thing for me.

I've also watched a few OVAs...the first DRRR!!x2 one, The Pinto one for Tokyo Ghoul. Inoffensive stuff. Oh, and the Love Live movie I guess, found it pretty boring. The One Punch Man special out so far is pretty good, at least.

Ah, and I finally made time to finish volume 4 of Index. Angel Fall still doesn't really make much sense to me, but it was alright. What I've read of volume 5 thus far has been pretty great, though. After just Touma and more Touma seeing stuff from Accelerator's perspective is great, and Last Order is a really fun character. Hope I can read some more soon.

I won't be entering either, am pleased enough with my Pohatu, but yeah, this is pretty cool of the site to do.

Ok so apparently, with a total 24 upvotes, my highest rated content would be this post from the "Inspiration for your Username(s)" topic:
 

I think it makes people take me more seriously.

Of course, this was back when I was farmstink buttlass. Now that I've gone back to my default name, I've gone and ruined a perfectly hilarious joke. Oh well. One can only moonlight as a poorly drawn lass of the butt for so long.

As for my highest rated stuff that doesn't rely on me having an awesome name, there's a couple tied at 16:

This one sassing out naysayers about G2 during the initial reveal.

This one proposing an unholy matrimony between sworn enemies (though let's be realistic one of the parties involved is just jealous and pretends the rivalry is there to feel better about their self esteem)

Also this third one cause I'm a liar, it was a Krika I built for BBCC 69. It got 12th place, far ahead of much worthier entries. It was an event ordained by fate to teach us that the system doesn't always work.

Honorable mention: this one with 15, just one short of giving me my very own elite four. How very sad.

Hmm... on my 3 (I think) years on here, I once saw a topic where someone claimed to have psychic powers or something like that.

Wasn't that just a couple of months ago? On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if it's happened more than once.

A certain somebody calling another member their waifu repeatedly.

Baffling, it was...

I like most of the Ultimate sets, but I also feel like $16 USD is exorbitantly overpriced for what is essentially a jazzed-up minifigure with a stand, plus a few power-ups for an app that I probably won't bother with. I guess all the trans-recolors must have jacked up the price point.

Most of the other sets look at least decent, though, so I'll probably be getting at least a few of those. The Rumble Blade and the various evil chariots are particularly impressive.

That would be pretty exorbitant, but they're actually just 10 bucks. I mean, bit high still I suppose, but not a lot. By piece count they're pretty alright.
