Blatch

The Naked Gun (2025) - 4.5/5 A five-alarm comedic ripper. I thought the funniest gag was the series of visual innuendos in Frank's apartment (the biggest pops in the theater were for that and the jab at O.J.), though I'm also partial to the advertisements that played before the security cam footage. Gotta buy some Muscle Slime.

The last thing I saw in IMAX was Pink Floyd's Pompeii concert film. Fun to watch stuff like that on a larger-than-life screen, and I wouldn't mind doing it with anime.

Just think: We're getting Gigi in these things soon! Oh, and a late addition: Fuwamoco's 2nd anniversary stream.

Holo no Graffiti 323/324 So this is what the new Haato sounds like? Intriguing if so. I actually mostly wanted to get those out to acknowledge some things: We just passed the 20th anniversary of the original Idolm@ster arcade game's release, and next week, it'll mark 10 years since I did the first of my review posts for Squid Girl! This has me in the mood to do something special... but maybe not involving content ratings. I was thinking of actually rewatching these shows and doing all-new reviews for 'em, maybe downplaying the plot in favor of critical anaylsis now that I think of it. Or I could do new stuff, like finally get around to finishing those Cinderella Girls reviews (funny story about that franchise). Once I get some other stuff dealt with, I'll figure it out. [...ocd permitting]

I've only seen a little bit of the packaging, but for my money, it slaps. My favorite Toonami look of all time is the one they had in 2014-15, with the minimalist graphics on a black background. This one feels like a fusion of that and the 2018 style (which accompanied the first round of FLCL sequels), using green accents and a circular motif. It's super clean and feels like it belongs on the biggest screen possible.

If you're just seeing this now, get ready for... peak?

I can actually watch her debut tomorrow!

Common Side Effects S1E8-10 Whips. Whips ass, even.

Makes up for the lack of a Fuwamoco Morning today.

All right! Finally, some good cookin'. I'll have to watch some episodes of this live, even if it'll make me extra tired at work the next day. Oh shit, they got HameFura S2. Now that's a show I wouldn't mind reliving on the block, assuming Sentai can deal it.
