@firecrouch:
Hypocrisy where? I never said I have low expectations for T.V. specials.
The whole "C'mon it's just a T.V. special to segway in a new show what are you expecting?" thing is essentially you implying that we shouldn't really hold any standards for a crossover TV special. Yet the "Wow it was just announced and already people assume it'll suck. Go figure." comment implies that we shouldn't be so quick to judge it (which as I pointed out, I'm remaining hopeful about the whole thing).
Just saying it's a conflicting message is all. I understand if that may not be your intent, but that's what I'm getting out of your posts.
As I said though, the potential for a good Toriko and One Piece crossover exists and I am going to be hopeful about this. That being said, I'm only being realistic about how it might turn out.
@firecrouch:
Anyway I like how someone pointed out how this is a way to promote a new series, and that it puts justification over animating "Cross Epoch" at the moment for a T.V. special.
I can't think of a single reason why Cross Epoch hasn't been animated yet.
@Yuugi's:
Something can still be pleasant (or unpleasant) without having to be the end-all-be-all of events like one might expect (for whatever crazy reason) from these sorts of things.
And I'd like to point out how no one here at least is immediately saying it will suck. We're all just speculating and joking about how bad it could possibly get. As someone pointed out, it's not a good sign when Chopper and Terry are the A-listers, but for all we know it could turn out completely okay. Again, just speculation.
