Blatch

Not the American version? I'm not seeing any channel with this name up north.

The ongoing King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard concert. I won't post the link since it'll be deleted after the show, but the official YT channel should post it at some point. [your shadow ain't burnt into my soul anymore]

Space Dandy 5 Finally picking my 10th anniversary rewatch back up after nine months. On the plus side, a few episodes from now will be the ones that accompanied Blue Exorcist's premiere run. I'm gonna have to combine them when I watch.

Yeah, this would be bad if it goes through. One interesting thing to note is that Kadokawa also owns Anime News Network. Don't you think Sony would be paranoid a journalism outlet it owns could publish damning material against it? Especially when David Wald's about to go public with all the shit CR is guilty of...

***Oooooops, I meant this for the anime/manga subforum. But don't worry: I think Atsumare would fit just fine on Toonami.*** But we did get a non-animated PV, and it's got a voice actress (Kaori Maeda) playing three different roles. Just saying: if it ever happens, my deal to do episode reviews (just like Squid Girl!) is still good. And you know there'll be content ratings clips, too.

When I was, like, 6, I claimed that this was my favorite song, even though I hadn't heard many at that point, and this sort of thing has always been a sore spot for me. But decades later, I have become obsessed with Ween, and I can confirm that the fucking song they did for SpongeBob still goes hard.

Touhou Hifuu Club: The Sealed Esoteric History 2/3

Senpai is an Otokonoko 5 Uzumaki 2 Touhou Hifuu Club: The Sealed Esoteric History 1 Had to get a themed watch on on the anniversary of when Marisa went to the college football game.

I'm more interested in learning why Lynzee thinks Black Lotus misunderstands Blade Runner.

This seems like a reach. I imagine what actually happened was at least a little more complex, and might've involved other high-ranking execs. Shit, maybe DeMarco was the one who got impatient? I also would've used a different source than TVTropes, even I think that site gets shat on too much these days. Why not go for the linked article? Jman turns everything into a dead horse. Small wonder he didn't invoke the Netflix Voltron series when discussing the upcoming live-action movie.

In that case, I'll pull out a necessary weasel: This license isn't from Crunchyroll.

Boy, do I wish I wasn't thirty episodes behind on Sailor Moon right now. I tried to get into a groove of watching every Friday, but the formulaic nature of it (plus Usagi's crying early on) turned me off. In a perfect world, I would've not spaced out and cranked it after getting off at 3.

Hard same. I'll still watch whatever they dump in the trough, but I'm at maximum cynicism after the one-two dick punch of Rickanime and especially Uzumaki.

Woah, they're not stalling at the end of the year for once? And they're airing a fresh show on top of a long-ago rerun at the same time? Color me impressed. Yeah, I know about Blue Exorcist, but I'll still watch it and I hope everyone else does too. I feel like they're doing this out of convenience, and they wouldn't put S1 on unless they knew they'd eventually be able to air the new ones. If I was in a position to watch Toonami week-to-week (which, sadly, probably ain't happening until I change careers), I'd try to watch this lineup through at least 1:30. Not bad, DeMarco. Now get Daima on and everyone will be singing your praises on Bluesky.

Oh hey, a baseball video. Goes pretty well with this, I think: Watched the first half (meaning the first three episodes) of this today. Very cool that @Seight was a fan of my previous Jon Bois post, so I figure I'll keep them coming. [get out the rye bread and mustard grandma, it's grand salami!]

Woah, that's a throwback to the AT&T years! For a while they'd cross-promote TBS shows by putting premiere episodes on [as] and maybe vice-versa.

At this point I'm convinced Housing Complex 'C' is something that only exists because of Uzumaki's delays. DeMarco was desperate and needed his fix of "creepy things happen in a small town", regardless of how it was gonna turn out. Now that we have something ostensibly better, you might as well write that show off.[ [goodbye everyone, I'll remember you all on myspleen]

And so we've finally reached the end of this long, strange famine trip... for now. Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm Episode 18: "The Reimu Assassination Plot" a.k.a. "Reimu Only Lives Twice" [at least the zoloft is working]

Guess he only meant the first episode. At this point my hot Uzumaki theory is that some higher-up finally dropped the hammer, and they needed to scramble to get the rest done on the cheap. It's not too elaborate, but sometimes you have to embrace banality. And yeah, I'm crossing my fingers too that this episode ends up being the outlier, but who knows? At least we'll always have the premiere as a proof-of-concept that an Ito anime can work.

Haven't watched Episode 2 yet, but I did see a tweet with the punch and running animation. Woof. It's amazing how this show managed to persist amidst all the corporate turmoil at WBD, and yet at this point, it would've been better for Zaslav to actually write it off. In a similar vein, seeing this is kind of making me wish I'd waited to start it, so I could look at that jankiness and decide not to watch at all. A bit off-topic here, but yeah. He's also got the anger for it: I was actually happy when he stopped regularly posting on Twitter because I didn't have to see his (deserved, admittedly) ranting about the spineless cops in Uvalde.

Look Back: 9.5/10? IDK, it feels weird to give this a perfect score, but either way, this one gets my full-hearted recommendation. First time seeing a movie in theaters in over a year, and it didn't disappoint. Funnily enough, I stumbled upon listings for this one while looking up something else (Megalopolis), and decided to pull the trigger on a whim.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 12 (end) Uzumaki 1 Look Back Also, a small announcement for the content ratings thread, since I'm in no condition to post my next omnibus: I plan to do ratings clips for You are Ms. servant... eventually. Not until I finish at least one of the shows getting them already.

Hey everyone, just wanted to point out that I recently got a flash of inspiration and pushed a big update (re: ported the data over from Colt Buhr's spreadsheet) for my Toonami ratings timeline. Link is in the siggy, as always. Numbers are up through the end of August, and at some point I'll start adding info about goodies and such. May Nielsen fill your cup to eternity.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 11 And Makoto is in. Though maybe I'll opt for something spooky as the month progresses. [again, why did they get rid of user titles?]
