jeez
even more retarded than ash winning
>Anime ends with Team Rocket breaking up
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?
Someone get Kiana on suicide watch
Mine is better.
that sucks
uh blast off status??
Team Rocket's never blasting off again ;_;
>Team Rocket's never blasting off again ;_;
Why does this hurt me so much?
because you now realize you wasted 25 years of your life waiting for a conclusion to this shit show of a franchise
You know, I thought that I was too jaded by living in globohomo to get my fee-fees hurt again.
And over something so innocuous too.
Fuck.
I hate it, I fucking teared up over a retarded villain duo from a shitty kids show.
>Ash finally wins
>But
>Team Rocket suffers a loss worse than actual death...each other...
>Ash "wins"
>no closure
>had to force a win against Gamefreak's pet boy best of the best undefeated #1 gigachampion
>didn't even get a runback against the one person he needed to
some "win" lol
his penultimate capstone win is a narrative shithole
RIP Team Rocket, you were too good for them
we need an infinite ai jesse, james, and meowth sitcom slice of life rn bros
James is the best pokegirl
True
I fapped to jesse
Wait, why do they break up? Because Ash "won"? That's retarded.
>Gamefreak is actually breaking up THE TEAM ROCKET
Holy fuckin shit. It's actually over for them. They just killed the motherfukkin soul of the Pokemon franchise.
Gamefreak don't make the anime
This seems like an obvious marketing stunt to draw attention to the show. I doubt they'll be broken up for long.
>they dont get married and start a family
NOOOOOOOO I WAS HOPING FOR THAT!
Shinzo would never allow this
>jessie cutting her hair short
gay
I'll show you gay
james acting gay is about as unusual as water being wet
water is not wet
but its beautiful and would be a genuinely happy ending!
Yes, and if Shinzo were still alive he would've personally made sure we get it
he is feminist leftist scums he deserved to die
Calm down, Kojima.
This is worse than Ash being retired from the anime
It's not the ending we need but the ending we deserve
what even is the timeline in this show
like it's been 26 years IRL but Ash has barely aged, is every episode a single day?
Time passes but time doesn’t pass
Pokemon time flows slower than real world time.
Don't think about it too hard
JAMES AND JESSIE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FAMILY TOGETHER WITH MEOWTH BEING THE COOL UNCLE!!! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS!? WHY!?!?!?
>Why would pokemon do something retarded just to make kids cry
The anime was aways like this, it's the Japanese equivalent of Care Bears
So clearly Game Freak is trying to push the old audience away from their products. They want you to move on just like Ash and Team Rocket did.
Yet they won't stop milking Pikachu
>Yet they won't stop milking Pikachu
B-but he's a male isn't he?
Good.
>Self inserts his wife
>lol just go have sex loser as the final message
>Didn't actually end will continue churning out more shit to sell figures to waifufags he actively fucking hates and wishes were dead
The greatest con in anime
Just don't buy teh Rei figures bro
grand revenge. NGE was always his baby and the characters were meant to be be antithetical to the waifu archetype. Instead otaku decided to spaz out over them for the next 30 years
>today i will buck industry trends and create antithetical waifus
>whoops i made the most archetypal waifus imaginable how did that happen
It’s not much of a con if everything about it is laid out in the open. It’s just business as usual for anime studios and the people they’re getting money from.
Anyway to address the actual topic;
WTF
This has been obvious since they basically destroyed compatibility of RBY GSC with RSE.
Man, I really thought this was never gonna end. It probably won't too, they'll bring it back. Nips never end their shit. If you think Naruto, DragonBall, One Piece, etc. will ever be put to rest, I'll have some bad news for you.
The original Naruto is getting 4 more new episodes for the anniversary
So which is the longest? Like how many episodes is every Ash pokemon series add up to?
I know One Piece passed 1000 and Boruto's Dad isn't that far off either.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sazae-san
now convert it to run time
37 days
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anime_series_by_episode_count
I show you've never heard of. Japan has several dozen shows that's being going on since the 60's and 70's.
Goku's VA probably doesn't have much time left, what are they gonna do once she passes? Make Gohan the new lead?
Replace her loke they did with Bulma's.
>Gohan
doesn't she voice gohan too?
Anon...
what is goku doing with that tiny topless woman?
save her of course
AI voice
at least Goku will get to sound young and loud again
She voices Goku, Gohan, Goten, Bardock, Black, and Turles.
She's requested Luffy's voice actress replace her.
Mayumi tanaka being an absolute chaddette, she fits as a replacemente for Nozawa, all things considered.
I wonder how Vegeta will react once Goku announces he's going to become the King of the Sayans out of the blue.
Just find a new woman to voice Goku and Gohan. I hope they get a different woman for Goten though. They should start to distinguish that character more going forward.
Black cell suddenly appears and just Krillin's him.
why must everything have a bittersweet ending now
call me a bitch pussy but I prefer endings where shit just works out
I prefer bittersweet stuff usually but for something like fucking Pokemon, I expect a happy ending lol
>bittersweet ending
Ash won, the thugs disbanded. It is happy.
those thugs were completely miserable without each other
this is literally the worse thing that could have happend to them
In this one it feels particularly forced, they have zero reason to go their own separate ways. A happy ending actually makes sense here.
It can always be worse, anon.
holy fuck, context?
Basically, imagine if there was a timeskip where Pikachu died and reincarnated and Ash was forced to watch Pikachu go off on fun adventures with someone else even though Pikachu has vague memories of their time together. Then at the end, they do confront each other about their feelings, but Pikachu decides to stay with his new friend leaving Ash all alone on the beach. Also Ash has cancer and the original Pokemon theme plays while he's watching his best friend in the whole wide world cuck him for an unlikable gay who's a self-insert for the creator of Pokemon.
>ousama game
proper trainwreck huh? Is it an entertaining one though?
Not that anon but iirc it was a fun trainwreck, but a trainwreck nonetheless. A computer virus mutates and infects people with the "curse" of the ousama game, that the single survivor of each iteration then spreads to start a new ousama game. That's the kind of b movie retardation you're dealing with here.
That seems shlocky, but not like top worst of all time bad
>kemono friends
>btoom
Take me back.
I
What
I refuse to believe anything you've just said
Imagine if Ash was canonically retcucked into oblivion and it was revealed that Pikachu was always fated to be the self-insert OC gay's best friend immediately after they showed Ash being cucked by Pikachu.
People who watches season 2 deserve what they got
This is way too cryptic, what actually caused the reaction in this screenshot?
?t=829
I'm glad
is right and literally no one acknowledges KF2 as being canon. Just remembering its existence fills me with profound rage.
Never watched Kemono so I had to look up what the context was, and I kind of understand the absolute frustration, anger, and hatred KFfags would've had at the time.
2019 was such a shit year for sequels. It got so bad, even the stage play at the time tried desperately to distance itself from KF2 by removing the 2 from its name. Not to mention you also had some staff behind KF2 being complete fucking gays online, ranging from harassing fans for making fan hate art of KF2 (black coffee) and getting caught, the director talking about how he basically wished Tatsuki died, etc. Not to mention allegations of people behind KF2 being associated with the Yakuza and allegedly molesting some of the underage VAs, etc.
Isn't this the part where you're supposed to commit sudoku to preserve your honoru? What a complete shitshow. I have no stake in this and I'm getting fucking pissed the more I read about it.
Mine has been radio silent ever since and everything he touches (except Sgt. Frog) dies horribly. KF2 literally ends with everyone partying on top of the crushed remains of a retarded cat.
And it was THE hottest thing in Japan at the time, even people who didn't normally watch anime was into it.
Imagine basically pissing off the entire population of the country at the same time.
You don’t get it, Tatsuki got too cocky so they had to burn it all to the ground to spite him
>Imagine basically pissing off the entire population of the country at the same time.
Imagine pissing off China, South Korea AND Japan all at the same time. KF literally took precedence over best korea firing missiles at Japan, to an extent. It's THE anime that sold all of its buckets in less than a couple hours. They literally had shortages of fan merchandise for months and every single time they opened back up, they immediately had their stores emptied.
>It's THE anime that sold all of its buckets in less than a couple hours
Holy fuck, I had forgotten all about the buckets initially being the only merch they had made when the show gained steam.
I haven't watched YGO since the original but what the fuck happened in Arc-V to dominate this list so hard
Arc-V was great and could have gone on to be the best spin-off series, right up until the last arc. Then it went full retard.
AHHHHHH MOTHERFUCKER
WHY YOU HAD TO REMIND ME. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
What anime?
And then imagine if the creator of Pokemon did an event thing where he expands on the horrid new setting he created where his self-insert OC gay character is the most important person in the whole world and Ash is literal genetic freak who literally can't get depressed or he'll die.
Who cares, season 2 is not canon
FUCK KEMONO FRIENDS 2 FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
KEMONO FRIENDS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NEXT TOUHOU, THE NEXT KANCOLLE, THE NEXT FGO BUT NOOOO KADOKAWA IS RUN BY ACTUAL gayS
funnily enough the CEO of kadokawa publicly apologized for the public outcry, it was that bad
In a better timeline, we would have way more KF fangames and my little wife wouldn't be dead.
It's just like Samurai Champloos shit ass ending.
The found family splitting up because they just have to will never not be a shit ending.
it makes sense in champloo because literally everything in that anime is about the impermanence of all things and how the times keep changing, so naturally they end the show on an ambigous ending where they go their seperate ways just as easily as they joined up with the vauge idea that they could meet again later still open, unlike in bebop which was a definitive "the gang splits up" ending
They're obviously getting back together before the show ends.
sex with jessie
Did Arbok and Wheezing re-appear?
They were referenced (all of their released Pokemon were) but no they didn't return. The Rocket Pokemon that returned were the ones they abandoned at the base.
did the anime end? wtf happened exactly?
It ended. Ash is done. He won. It's all gone.
It will never be 1997 again.
Not yet, exactly.
They are doing some last specials-1cour show before starting the new show.
they’re replacing ash and co with new characters but if that shit flops they’ll probably bring them back
pokemon anime was never good to begin with
BUT NOW I SUDDENLY HAVE TO CRY AND PRETEND I LOVED IT, OMG MY SHITTY CHILDHOOD
MY PARENTS DIDN'T BEAT ME ENOUGH, SORRY
Friendly reminder that this wasn't the final episode and there is still chance for Team Rocket to separate in good terms
I get the feeling they’re gonna reunite by the end of journeys
They will.
Them breaking apart was threated was basically a joke, so yeah they WILL probably reunite and pull a big damn heroes and save ash or something.
how will he be replaced?
Guys i'm starting to think james may be homosexual.
>haven't watched or given a shit about pokemon in 10 years
>somehow crying over this
first toy story 3 and now this, childhood is never coming back
It fucking leaked?
So what was Ash's ending? Did he finally become a Pokemon Master?
It isn't over yet.
The previous series had Ash entering a league with a ranking system, starting at the bottom, and kicking everyone's ass on the way to World Champion.
I'm glad how inclusive the new show is gonna be.
Still better than what SV got.
I hope someone draws the girl taking a huge shit
Give it time
They're will 100% be right back to fight the new cast. or there will be a soulless younger team rocket trio just to bury the few remnants of soul as deep as they can
They're not coming back to the new show. They gave a Pikachu to a new trainer. No one is returning.
Pikachu, again ? Are they retarded ?
This was the opportunity to change the show and they keep what made the show the most boring
They really are retarded
You won't like which other pokemon is coming back then.
of course it's fucking charizard
What's the third most popular pokemon, mewtwo ? Are they thinking about adding that shit too ?
Maybe they should make a good new gen so people stick to that instead of begging for gen 1 callbacks forever, have they thought about that ?
>have they thought about that ?
I sincerely doubt it
This is the promotional image, to be fair they're not the main characters pokemons but still kinda crazy that they still needed to have those two. Funnily enough, shiny Rayquaza again; he probably has showed up more than normal Rayquaza in the anime at this point.
>pale girl with dark boy
You can't make this shit up
Wait, are there multiple Rayquazas? I haven't watched the show in 15 or 20 years.
Pikachu is the mascot. They didn't give it to a main character though. It belongs to the show's mentor-figure.
>bringing back THE face of the franchise is retarded apparently
you are never escaping pikachu
As usual I'll just wait for a fix fic.
This seems dumb and forced, why would they go their separate ways instead of just leaving Team Rocket together.
Because it's there to setup TR reuniting in the last episode or something. It's incredibly obvious, I don't see how retards in this thread seem to think this is actually how TR leaves the show for good.
>Manga is once again better then the anime
I only hope we get Ash x Misty to make up for this travesty.
I don't mind them retiring.
I don't mind them not getting together.
I don't even necessarily mind them going their separate ways.
But them leaving behind their pokemon, and not even getting a glimpse of a potential future for them outside of Team Rocket? That is too fucking far!
It would have been nice to see a ending where team rocket permanently retires from criminal activity and settles down into a simpler life
>James uses his intelligence to become a inventor and makes a lot of money selling his machines and designs
>Jessie becomes a school teacher or pokemon nurse like she originally wanted to. Maybe eventually finds love and has a family
>Meowth continues to travel the world doing whatever. Or starts a company? He's pretty intelligent too
>the new opening is just a KANTOOOOO clip show
On a scale from 1 to 10 how big of a gay am I if this made me cry?
Like a 2, maybe.
0. I understand.
If you're a gay for crying about Team Rocket, then I'm a gay for crying about this.
Holy shit did Butterfree come back?
Yeah, for a quick cameo at the end of Journeys.
bro who fucking cares kys
you could have just ignored the thread and moved on with your life
you could have just gone to play a video game
instead, you clicked on the thread and made sure to tell everyone how much of a raging gay you are
good job
ok but still waiting for you to kys
The handling of Kemono Friends after the first season has got to be the biggest fucking train wreck in modern anime history.
The fact Kemono Friends is surviving solely on gachashit mobile gaming and vtubers is the 3rd most shittiest thing about how it's been handled.
Right? Kadokawa had a fucking shoestring budget show rise to the top in unexpected popularity because of its pure kino. Proceeds to fire Tatsuki and run that shit into the ground.
It was just spite against Tatsuki and the fans that enjoyed season 1 because of him
I never watched season 2 and I never will
>Tatsuki
he was getting to cocky and need to leave anons think about it he would have never been has popular if they didn't hand him the show in the first place
It's was a very lighthearted story about 2 girls meeting friends that also teached kids about animals. How do you fuck that up so badly. I know the answer Mine's ego
>a very lighthearted story about 2 girls meeting friends that also teached kids about animals
I love that it's both this and a post-apocalyptic future story where the girls are in constant danger of being eaten by aliens and experiencing permanent identity death
and that Tatsuki did basically the same thing for Kemurikusa and the fans drove it to #1 on Amazon
It being such an absolute shit show that it inspired the plot of a Touhou game says something.
what
Wait, which one? Unconnected Marketeers?
WBaWC. It's why it has the animal yakuza gangs and why every character has idolatry themes of some sort. ZUN was inspired seeing such outrage over animal girls.
>Last scene of the last episode
>Ash: "Actually, I never really cared about Pokemon"
>silent credits roll
Would have been the best way to end the series.
Oh are we posting bad finales now?
I recently finished AI Somnium Files and it was a neat standalone story that wrapped everything up in one game and it actually made me willing to forgive Uchikoshi. Now I'm paranoid about playing the sequel in case he went off his rocker again.
>ends with a dance scene
>btw one character can body swap just because hey remember remember11
>etc
you and those like you who continue to eat uchi's excrement should be thrown upon one great big pyre to fuel the world
>Forgiving the man the introduced an alien fax machine and complex motives while also fucking the artstyle.
Fuck him for even going into Sci-fi when 999's premise was cool enough as it is, but ZTD is so far beyond the pale of failure that I question your sanity.
>train-fag burned down a whole studio
>meanwhile Mine is still alive
He’s lucky kemono-chads are peaceful
They should've just gotten their win at capturing Pikachu at last, but ends up handing Ash's Pikachu back as they felt it wasn't worthy enough after all of these years. And they finally stop with their villainous ways, by breaking their bridge with Rocket Team.
They can at least finally rest now with no more shitty cliffhangers.
The fuck? At least let James take Meowth with him.
I hate retarded nip tropes so much.
Kino
>assemble all of the pokemon they had before (minus the arbok, weezing and alola mons)
>split ash and pikachu
>pikachu is surrounded by rocketmons
>THIS TIME WE CAN'T FAIL
>random invisible Latias uses telepathy vision and shows ash what's happening to pikachu
>Ash arrives saving him
>Latias reveals herself and tosses TR away with telekinesis
This was done very poorly, but even I would quit after failing to do one job for 25 years+ when being at my best
>Team Rocket gets the Bad Ending
Not like this Rocket bros, not like this. This shit has me heated. THEY DESERVED BETTER DAMMIT!!!
give me the quick rundown on kemono friends
I never watched it because it's style looked like shit
Why did people like the original so much and why did it all fall apart?
It's very cute and the characters are derpy, but endearing and the jankiness of the animation plays well into the comedy. Plus, it has some surprisingly elaborate visual storytelling elements going on for an anime that's directed at small children (despite initially being placed in an otaku timeslot).
>No Cacnea
Is he still with Gardernia?
