I don't mind the art. It's the same art style as Love Complex. Which is totally a great show.(I probably should rewatch it so I can read the manga to finish the story. it ends about 20 chapters short.)
I watch and read entirely too much Shoujo and I get a lot of them confused though.
i don't know man, She's ridiculously popular. Casual fans WANT to see 34 second destruction. That's what everyone who was in the same bar as me wanted. It's like Tyson 20 years ago. Casual fans want fast fights and there are way more casual fans and people that are just plain uninterested outside of Rousey than there are people who like MMA, so I'd say Dana loves it cause he is getting paid.
I went to a bar last night to watch the fights, and it was an eye opening experience. A staggering number of people were there. There was probably 150 people in this bar(the bar definitely couldn't hold too many more people it was wall to wall packed and packed outside in their patio area). I want to say a large number of these people weren't there for anythign but Rousey. Lot of girls, lot of guys that were just talking and bull*****ing until the Rousey fight came on. I normally watch the fights at home(only other fight I went out to see was a Chuck Liddell fight 5 years ago)but it seemed that this was way more people then usual and every single person was there for Rousey. And when she won they all went ******* wild. Like comparable to USA world cup win level wild(USA chants and all). As it stands, she's a giant draw and people will keep going to see her fights because they are fast and she finishes fights(regardless of how bad she looks) and I really don't see that changing. I think the person who's going to get bored is Rousey herself. She said her plan for the next year or so was "Beat correia, Beat tate again, film a movie, beat next chick". That almost sounds like something with an Anderson Silva-esque level of boredom.
But it was kind of disconcerting, there was a lot of kind vulgar and misogynistic ***** being said that put me off. Her fights kinda seem like accepted public misogyny.
Way to point to 2 come from behind finishes and probably one of the most notorious poorly judged matches in UFC history. None of which change the fact that Daniel Cormier dominated Johnson.
Jones' takedowns are good enough that against Rumble they might as well be Cormier's takedowns. I don't think Rumble is in the top 5 strikers that Jones has fought. There is no reason to believe that Rumble's style is strong against Jones' but weak against Cormier. He's simply not a championship quality fighter.
But...it's the internet. Where else can I be picky?
I agree that MMAth doesn't always work but the thing is, Jones could have worked the same exact gameplan on Rumble. Look at the entire Jones reign and tell me where Rumble has something unique to offer? MMAth is not perfect but there are many times where it does work.
The Werdum example is awful btw. 1st, those fights spawn over a half decade and all of those fighters have improved leaps and bounds since then. 2nd, Dos Santos also beat Velazquez(which is closer in time to the Werdum-Dos Santos match than the Werdum-Velazquez match)
I feel like this season is off to a really slow start as well
The action animes are just sort of meh right now. I tend to like a well put together action anime and I just haven't been as impressed of late with what we have been getting. It feels like we have been getting more shameless anime of late and less quality which is really unfortunate.
It's not really a big action season tbh. Other stuff has been fine. Godeater could pick up. Gangsta is great. Overlord can pick up. But thaat's kinda it for action.
Ushio and Tora is gonna be really ******* rad man. First episode was good. The manga was excellent so the story is good. The voice acting has a good mix of very good veterens(RIKIYA KOYAMA!) and new talent in in their first main roles. I'm just generally very stoked for this.
@Slarg, it's about a family that is destined to fight supernatural bad guys bad guys with their unique abilities throughout different periods of time. It's mostly about kicking ass. Everyone likes kicking ass.
Just a small complaint that I don't think i saw when I signed up? Why are we doing block constructed in a block that is 1 set? Wouldn't it be more fun to play Zendikar block or Legacy?
It was okay. I think the writing of Psycho Pass really went down hill after the first season.
Watching Ore Monogatari's new episode. This might be the funniest anime I've ever watched.
That's interesting that Gate is a dark series. I also believe Gate has a LN(it does and It's completed)
I need to get around to watching the Psycho Pass Movie.

Fights tonight were SLOPPY. Rousey came out and did her thing though.
