In my case, it's because I wouldn't watch something new unless I can give it a decent portion of my attention, and most of the time when I'm watching the stream I'm doing something else while just listening to it and glancing at it occasionally. That being said, while I don't have a Crunchyroll subscription, this WOULD be a good week to catch up on One Piece Sails On using the FUNimation now that I pay 6 bucks a month for. As for these episodes themselves, starts out fairly eh with the Madara monologue and flashbacks to Sasuke about Itachi's true intentions which aired on 1/14/17, then moves on to the AWESOME 2-episode fight between Taka and Killer B which aired on 1/21/17 and 1/28/17, then finally enters filler hell with that OTHER bubble-user (besides JJBA's Caesar) which appeared on Toonami from 2/4/17 and 2/11/17. And you know what else this means? IF the stream advances, the next hand (group of 5) of episodes will be completely lost in filler hell, from 2/18/17, 2/25/17, 3/4/17, 3/11/17, and 3/18/17.

Was just reading about Shippuden. Speak of the devil, it's its turn on the Toonami Marathon Stream, but I don't know exactly which episodes will be featured this time. We start out with Sasuke talking to Madara, so I guess it's 141-145 right now, then 146-150 later this week? I wonder why the Weekday "run" always seems to be 10 episodes behind Toonami when other shows are closer to the broadcast?

I doubt it. But it's another brick in the wall away from traditional cable toward streaming services!

I'm pretty sure the AOT simuldub is still coming out on Sunday though, right? Also, if VRV contains Anime Strike shows, then that's genius, AS LONG AS IT'S legal!

Right, right, I get that, but... See what I'm saying?

Which version are you watching? The only one I've been able to watch has the actual content relegated to a corner of the window and is speeded-up ridiculously! If you found one that runs at normal speed and fills the whole window, let me know...

Here's how I rank the 9 episodes which aired last night: #9: Shippuden - This episode REALY grinds my gears! I tried to watch it and Super simultaneously. And what the hell do those slugs do? #8: Tokyo Ghoul - Probably because I was still reeling from AOT, I'm really not sure what the hell happened in this episode, but good for the bird from the Episode 3 omake to return! #7: Ghost In The Shell - This one was never one of my faves, too much whining about wine! #6: DBZ Kai Final Chapters - Oddly enough, Mr. Satan isn't the "Satan" who got his ass kicked--it was Dabura! #5: Samurai Jack - I didn't actually watch it last night, but it was a great episode to start the new-ish season with. #4: Dragon Ball Super - Believe it or not, I really enjoyed the campy comedy and the foreboding sense that Frieza's imminent return gives! #3: Hunter x Hunter - Behold the amazing disappearing act of the Phantom Troupe and Kurapika's sorrowful rage having to be bottled up for now! #2: Attack on Titan - The most nonchalant reveal ever, but it set the stage for one HELL of a showdown next week, as Mikasa fails to prevent their transformation! #1: Gundam Unicorn - Always godly animation, cranked up a notch even higher tonight. I'd say it totally stole the show, as Full Frontal went out in a beautiful supernova!

I'm thinking more like carved an arrow into her hand, maybe with Eren's name?

Considering the original version first aired on Toonami right after 9/11/01, I can't see how it was any worse.

Not to mention the last one to air on Toonami thus far!

I'll let you know as soon as I finish my first proper watching of this episode! Edit: yes, the worm (whose name is now "Georgia") has been a part of the "go to commercial" Dragon Ball Super bump since the bumps were re-done on March 11th when Samurai Jack joined the lineup!

You mean THIS? Yes, hyped indeed! The Colossal is back! (Though I guess he's been here all along!)

I don't really see Lalah Sune and the "real" Char's ghosts as being much more than cameos! At least not after Syam Vist said to Full Frontal "you are truly a ghost!" He could just as easily have met his end in the conflict by a huge laser blast by the Unicorn and gone away a ghost. Bright Noa may have been recurring but there was enough in Unicorn about his character to get a feel for it even if you didn't know who Bright Noa was (like me). The thing is, Full Frontal WAS the big bad, so NOW who's the major point of conflict in Episode 22? I remember there being another battle or two, but this might have been the climax.

Crap, I can't hold my eyes open!

But they do get big enough in VERY major cities, such as Tokyo!

Yeah, Aramaki NEEDS to provide the brains, because everyone else there is brainless!

I've heard this is its last half-decent arc!

You know what really grinds my gears??

That only works in filler arcs! That music video didn't even look like it belonged on Toonami!

Was mentioned in one of the lighter-on-action story development-heavy episodes, #10 I believe. He is actually in the Marcenas family.

Last time we'll hear it on Toonami. So, how 'bout a live version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt_rtWk8Po8 ON to Shippuden!

Bright Noa...

This is all amazing, but what the hell just happened!?

Wow, this battle! Might be the best thing on Toonami so far in 2017!

OPEN THE BOX, PRINCESS MINEVA!! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!
