Blatch

Hey, look at that: I set a deadline for myself and I almost managed to stick to it. I was going to upload this on Saturday before I realized I needed to make one more MoP clip then I thought, and then I opted not to post it yesterday thanks to a combination of semantics over whether or not Sunday is the start of the week... and a Phish webcast. To Your Eternity Season 2 Episode 10: "Resonance" - TV-14L Episode 11: "The Value of Flesh" - TV-PGV Spy×Family Mission:19 - "A REVENGE PLOT AGAINST DESMOND / MAMA BECOMES THE WIND" - TV-14L Mission:20 - "INVESTIGATE THE GENERAL HOSPITAL / DECIPHER THE PERPLEXING CODE" - TV-14 Mission:21 - "NIGHTFALL / FIRST FIT OF JEALOUSY" - TV-PG Mission:22 - "THE UNDERGROUND TENNIS TOURNAMENT: THE CAMPBELLDON" - TV-14L Mission:23 - "THE UNWAVERING PATH" - TV-PGV Tanaka-kun is Always Listless Episode 1: "Tanaka-kun and Ohta-kun" - TV-PG Episode 2: "The Apprentice Application" - TV-PG Episode 3: "Gap Girl Echizen" - TV-PGL Episode 4: "Shiraishi's Secret" - TV-PGD Episode 5: "Tanaka-kun's Routine" - TV-PG Himegoto Episodes 1-3: TV-14DS Episodes 4-6: TV-14DLS Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm Episode 2: "The Scarlet Mist Incident [part one]" - TV-14L Episode 3: "The Scarlet Mist Incident [part two]" - TV-14S Episode 4: "The Scarlet Mist Incident [part three]" - TV-14 The Idolm@ster Million Live! Episode 1: "My Very Own Dream Just for Me" - TV-G Four and a half months' worth of watching anime, and this is all I have to show for it. Too bad. I know I'm juggling, like, 15 shows right now that I'm doing ratings for in various forms, but don't think I'm going to stop with this fuckery, because here comes a new simulcast! It's called 16bit Sensation: Another Layer, and it's a show I've decided to watch for no reasons other than because it seems like it might be raunchy, and I don't know what's good for me. BTW, I'm doing clips of it. Look forward to that in a special slimmed-down edition of the usual rundown that will focus on currently-airing shows plus Memories of Phantasm.

So I watched the first episode of this live but opted for a DVR replay of the second, mostly because I thought I needed a tiny bit of extra sleep to help power through grocery inventory. Spoiler alert: things turned out about the same, which for me was good enough. So anyway, I was personally a tiny bit disappointed by the second ep if only because I was expecting it to pile on that cool imagery we saw in the next-episode preview: our protagonists entering "imaginary time" and creating a giant chrome brain. It was so intriguing, but it turned out that was where they were hiding the necessary plot-relevant science experiment. At least the stuff focusing on Kana was good. If only she hadn't bailed on visiting the coming-of-age ceremony with her friends... Hopefully I'll pop in the thread tomorrow. Enjoy what will presumably be the last episode ever of FLCL, in all its unnecessarily-franchised glory.

And we repeat. Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm Episode 4: "The Scarlet Mist Incident" [part three] a.k.a. "Interview Without the Vampire"

FLCL Alternative 6 (end) Spy×Family S1E23 FLCL Shoegaze 1 (live) Tanaka-kun is Always Listless 6 Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~ 4 Hey, guess what? New ratings omnibus this week. For reals. I also plan on posting multiple Memories of Phantasm reviews. Get however hyped for this as you want. [and the new digs are looking good]

I'm under the impression Zaslav doesn't do that anymore, but.. you know what? Let him cook. Getting rid of that show would be no big loss.

Keeping with the Star Wars theme... "Somehow, Haruko returned."

Spy×Family S1E22 FLCL Alternative 4/5

I remember hearing that! And the show has arrived just in time for NFTs to be basically worthless. Talk about an unintentional period piece. [come out, ye black and tans and bored apes]

Will be interesting to see whether they went for a pure impressionist, like Family Guy did w/ Cleveland, or an established name. Either way, I like the new voice, though Rick's definitely struggling with the highs a bit.

Funnily enough, I didn't at first, but after how badly FLCL Grunge went, I'm gonna be kinder to it if only because I feel Toonami's quota for shitty content has been filled. Not to mention that part where the last two epsiodes were delayed, and people apparently didn't watch the finale because they thought it was something called "X: The Movie".

The cool thing about this panel will be that the writers should be back in action and able to appear at it, and maybe the actors will be able to also. Looking forward to S2 of Smiling Friends in particular; hopefully Michael and Zack will give us the deets personally.

Happy happy, you fine people. I had the block for birthdays on this forum disabled for a while, but not right now, and I noticed this before the actual thread.

They be mergin', and people are understandably concerned. Apparently TRSI's shipping operations have taken a level in suck-ass since the acquisition, and who knows if this will make things any better.

He sort of has to, given that this is all Toonami has at the moment, and given how things are going in the anime industry right now (I'll be making bumping a thread about a particular event soon), things probably won't get better.

Oh man, I remember that one! But not because I watched it. It generated a memorable A.V. Club running gag: Ballers' Rob Corddry.

Yeah, I agree. If only the people who were making these were more knowledgeable about such things as narrative economy. On the other hand, even a seasoned creative might have trouble making something meaningful out of three episodes. Maybe [as] should've ordered these two recent seasons as movies instead? Funnily enough, finding this out actually makes me more interested in watching Grunge, because if it's only three episodes, then if it's bad, it won't be for long. And it doesn't feel so bad now, doesn't it? But it also means that Shoegaze's peak won't be very tall; it might not even be a 4000-footer...

Nope. It was just announced, seemingly for the first time, that Grunge is only going to be three episodes, and so will Shoegaze. So who knows how they're going to wrap this all up. [classic toonami dysfunction]

And confirmation from Maki on my latter point: Who the hell saw this coming?

Must be up in Canada.

Hey, at least Shoegaze looks like it's going to be peak, even though we've seen all of ten seconds of it so far.
