Blatch

I one hundred percent agree. This is why I'll seek out completely wholesome and happy stories like Laid-Back Camp every so often. So... wow, that was one heck of a Toonami. I watched all of it from JoJo's to Cowboy Bebop, in fact, albeit with skipping Shippuden like almost everyone does. JJBA: SC Egypt Arc: Iggy doesn't seem like much other than a comedic relief character at this point, but at least their Stand helped Jotaro get right up beside N'Doul. It almost felt like a lucky break that he was able to do that, and they very well could have died if not for it. It just goes to show how much harder the Stand fights are in this arc, or at least so I've heard elsewhere on the Internet. And then N'Doul shot himself in the head to avoid divulging too much information about DIO. Heh... it's Dan of Steel's schtick all over again. Regarding the Oingo Boingo brothers, I guess Viz forgot to edit their names out of the titular comic book, because the dub did mention them by their localized, apparently reference-free names. Nevermind that Zenyatta seems like it could be a musical reference of its own (to Zendaya), it might be unfortunate. Gundam IBO: I have no idea what's going on in this show, but it seems like Tekkadan is willing to start their own revolution for the good of Mars. Something tells me that it's not gonna end well. Hunter x Hunter: So Kite ended up dying this soon? Oh shit. It didn't really hit me until after I saw a screenshot with Pitou holding his severed head. And that Gon doesn't know about it yet it is pretty damn unfortunate. Let's just hope they decided not to feed his body to the Queen... I don't know if Gon could take having to fight him as a Chimera Ant. Outlaw Star: Excepting the fact that this episode wasn't aired the first time, it already felt on a different state of existence compared to anything else in the show. There were lots of boobies, Gene being treated like a punching bag (seriously, why was this one so mean to him? All he wanted were those sweet Caster Shells), and an exploding naughty video. And not to mention, that vigilante with fake Wolverine claws whose presence was never explained. Oh, anime... you're so anime! But yeah, I did enjoy this one. It was just really dense and wacky. I think rating it TV-MA straight was the right call, since there was a pretty large amount of nudity (personal source: Girl's High #2), but without any explicit sexual motions. And I guess this means Kill la Kill always got the S because of Ryuko's boobs flapping up and down during the Senketsu transformation. Space Dandy: I can't believe Kemono Friends and the entire saga of Grape-kun happened between the last two times I watched this episode, which I was reminded of thanks to Planet... erm, Hululu? That's probably what you're referring to now should you discuss anime penguins, but this episode, one of the OGs, is still one of the best from the first season. I put most of that on Stuffed Penguin Dandy attempting to fly, but not in vain. Cowboy Bebop: I guess it was good. Meifa might be the best-looking female character in the show, for one. The spiritual aspect of her definitely helps. Commercials bonus round: Every progressive promo for Mr. Pickles' new season just made me want to hate it more, but I appreciated the audacity of them. At least they're still not as inherently annoying to me as the twelve thousand different ads GEICO has produced... seriously, I would pay a premium on my cable bill just to not have to see any car insurance ad ever again. [what, do you live under a rock?]

I've been meaning to rewatch all of Space Dandy on my personal Blu-ray sets, but I'm watching this one now, so I guess it counts as a head start.

Man, Gene got punk'd in the grandest fashion imaginable. This episode was not kind to him at all, in fact.

Iggy farting while struggling in the air is just the funniest thing. I don't care if anyone else thinks it's weird.

Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time #1 to #4 Mr. Osomatsu #12a [quasi-mythical vision]

It'll be interesting to see if ShowBuzzDaily gives us expanded stats for this one. For what it's worth, Xfinity lists it as a rerun.

It's not a big deal, even if I'm personally interested in it.

Okay, let's do another one. The titular adventurers seem to be in a pretty deep hole right now, but that's just what happens when you get to Egypt; the stand users are more powerful overall, and at least the fights become more intense. I hope you and me enjoy the other half of this pretty cool-seeming opener to the arc.

Yes, it's happening. And it's fattening like some people on Reddit who got mad because they couldn't fat shame people anymore. Go for it at 2:30 a.m. tonight.

I was referring to the anime.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the Toonami meta say this on Twitter, but I'm sad Hunter × Hunter is getting such low ratings for its absolute best arc. It's kind of like One Piece all over again, but at least this show has an actual ending.

I'm not sure that nihilism regarding Dragon Ball Super is the best way to rationalize how things are, but it's somewhat true. It's probably making the ratings at least good, and if DeMarco says the ratings are good, there's no logical reason for them to change anything. They can still try to go out and get the newest and most popular shows, but if they aren't able to get any of them, that does not speak negatively on how the block is run. In the worst-case scenario, if they can't get anything you want to watch, just go out and find it on other venues. That's how the majority of regular people do it anyway.

My conspiracy theory is that, since Anime Strike shut down on the same day the delay announcement was made, it's an Amazon show. In non-weasel words, Made in Abyss.

Yeah, Moose had no reason to exist here after they took off One Piece, so it was as good of a time as any to completely explode.

Kakegurui #2 Laid-Back Camp #3 and #4 Girls' Last Tour #5

It's Black Clover. The contract they signed probably states that it has to be spammed anywhere as much as possible.

They're a true transgender character in anime, which is rare, and they're portrayed as completely wholesome. I'll take a win like that whenever I can. I also don't know what you're referring to by the "okama character". Betelgeuse, maybe? He does dress rather flamboyantly, but I've never thought he was a crossdresser.

Actually, nevermind. I was too angry when I wrote that. But... Ferris.

And Toonami still isn't airing it, I guess? Also, a new season of Etotama apparently got announced, which is so far out there I almost can't begin to comprehend it.

Dear god, it's the eyes. It's absolutely in the eyes. So yeah, non-binary cat person for the win.

Same.

So here's your new ED, from the Pat Metheny Group. It came out in 1987, which is the same year the JoJo's manga started. I'm not even sure if whatever that is should sound like a sitar, but it's pretty cool.

So why is Polnareff suddenly saying phrases in French? I didn't remember him doing that much in the first arc, if at all. Maybe they thought this would be better than doing the accents?
