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?]

In other words, their first new show since the arson, which seems to me like a sign they're back at full strength. Though maybe the fact that this is from the Nichijou mangaka is cheating... This feels like one of those shows I don't feel hyped for, but when it actually comes I watch it and it blows my mind, so I'll try to up my enthusiasm levels by then. At least I feel indebted to it, given that Nichijou was my very first subbed anime.

Lycoris Recoil 11/12 (end) Hopefully it's not down to just the four of us.

Regular Show Season 1 and S2E1-13 Cool how they actually put this on Blu-ray.

Atsumare! Fushigi Kenkyu-bu 154-155 Witch Hat Atelier 13 Two quick thoughts: I look forward to keeping up with Anbe's new series from the moment it drops (which I've never done for a manga before), and Atelier is much more my speed than Delicious in Dungeon right now. [voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip]

The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls Theater (TV) S1E11/12 Senpai is an Otokonoko 2-4 Nao's birthday has passed, and I barely got any use out of this avatar. Oh well. I'll change it to Makoto soon and try this one another time.

Yup. Makes up for the lack of anime we got from Waai!, even if most of those probably wouldn't have been good. Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm 1-3 (dubbed rewatch) The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls Theater (TV) S1E8-10 [out of pocket?]

Senpai is an Otokonoko 1

Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~ 18 (end) Sailor Moon S1E5 [like a highway sign]

Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm Episodes 16 and 17: "The Youkai Mountain Battle Incident" [ending: parts one and two] a.k.a. "The Battle of Youkai Mountain"

Shrine of the Morning Mist 1/2 Wait, did I really watch this through to the fourth episode? I thought I only did the first, which was a long-ass time ago... so long that it predates my media logs.

VTuber Legend 2-4 I've come down on this show a little bit, but I still enjoy it very much. Does feel weird that this is my biggest exposure to VTubers yet, even though I've been following one on Twitxr for almost six years now.

Well, Poke hasn't made the new one yet, so I suppose I'll keep posting here until then. Birdie Wing -Golf Girls Story- Episode 24: "The Promise" - TV-PG Episode 25: "The Promise Revives" - TV-14L Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope: The Memories of Phantasm Episode 16: The Youkai Mountain Battle Incident [ending: part one] - TV-14 Episode 17: The Youkai Mountain Battle Incident [ending: part two] - TV-14 The Amazing Digital Circus Episode 2: "Candy Carrier Chaos!" - TV-PGLV VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream Episode 1: "I Forgot to Turn Off My Stream, and Became a Legend" - TV-14DL [what a mouthful] Also BTW: in case you're wondering about 16bit Sensation, that one's still in the cards. I didn't know why I was so hung up about a particular element of the show and how problematic it seemed to be, because it ended up breaking the other way. It'll probably be a while, but I'll eventually get around to making clips of it. Next time around, the final youkai extermination, more sweet VTuber goodness, and I finally make do on my promise to dig into older shows. I've got one in mind in particular that's rather obscure, and I've been meaning to watch it in full for a long while.

It has, but now it has its own thread, so cool. TFW Toonami couldn't get its own SDCC panel and had to piggyback off of Rickanime for this legit big announcement. Has this block ever been more washed?

That sounds questionable to me. The modern Toonami hasn't out the Olympics in full before, although there was the Harley Quinn marathon the last summer around in 2021. The block even managed strong ratings going up against Rio in 2016. And at this point, the ratings are low enough that I think the block a can weather any perceived hits. If anything, they should wait a week to air the Rickanime subbed premiere because it'll conflict with the secret set at the Phish festival. I know what I'll be watching that night.

Well, looks like this week is going to be off too, as I expect everyone was tuned into coverage of the Trump assassination attempt last night. I hate that this is a thing that can happen, but there's nothing I can do to change it.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 9/10 VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream 1 That cooked. God, I love Awayuki. I want her to bear my deformed, alcohol-addled babies.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 8 BUG FILMS was announced as the studio behind the Witch Hat Atelier anime today, so you know I had to do it to 'em. And so my really old DVR recordings of the last two episodes of LycoReco have been pushed back yet again.
