And I guess finding an excuse for him to say "Suit up." Of course JoJo's was the highlight for this week, and that special Oingo Boingo Brothaaaaaaaas ED will probably worm its way through my head for weeks. I did like HxH, thought. People seemed to almost instantaneously ignore the dapper butterfly C.A., probably because Neferpitou is standing right there next to him. Also, Bisky having another appearance made me sad I almost completely ignored Greed Island when it ran on Toonami last year. And the dubbed BDs of that arc aren't coming out for a while... maybe I'll start saving to buy the Yorknew set soon.

To my knowledge, Crunchyroll has no affiliation with BC's Toonami airing, probably since they focus on subs and thus only have the rights to that one. You can prove this through a quick look at the credits.

This show has certainly spent a while in purgatory, but at least it's done better than KonoSuba!... which premiered one broadcast season earlier and has not gotten a licensing announcement yet. Or Mr. Osomatsu, which (premiered in 2015,) actually got licensed by Viz and they said they were dubbing it, but it's been several months since that without any other announcements. As for this show airing on Toonami, I'm not saying a word.

That's probably because the second season spent more time on artsy fartsy episodes rather than humorous ones. And then there was the High School Musical parody, which angered you so much you almost dropped the show.

Actually, I messaged them on Twitter.

Yeah, I hadn't put it back up yet. But we should be good now.

This is making me think that whatever new show airs on the 24th, if at all, won't be the intended Lupin replacement, since not announcing it by this point isn't good form. They probably had something planned to replace Outlaw Star all along anyway.

I wonder if I should be the designated person who does this show's threads from now on. Meilag seems to get all the ones for Dragon Ball without anyone questioning it. In fact, nobody even took this thread after more than an hour of opportunity. Why the heck would you sleep on goddamn JoJo's like this? Does it not getting a thread before Black Clover means people care even less?

KonoSuba – God's blessing on this wonderful world! S1E1 The iDOLM@STER #19

I guess anyone who updated their avatar in February had it corrupted. I can't even change mine to something different.

Is that referring to Sentai's license? Or maybe it's about the marathon stream accidentally airing Season 1 a while ago, but not in HD. I consider the latter one to be an error.

Well, the stream is playing Outlaw Star as advertised, and they're currently on #15. I don't know exactly which episodes are airing or if it's different in any way. On a different note, Dimension W's streaming rights recently expired after two years and yet no one seemed to notice. I thought the big man who made this thread would chime in and say they should give it one more streaming rotation.

Was there ever any reason to assume otherwise would be happening? But coincidentally, this will be the first time Toonami runs until 5:00 a.m. until before the large block cut back in January 2015. It's kind of cool... but not for our sleeping patterns.

Maybe Sentai decides to deal with Toonami again and we get The Big O (in HD) replacing Outlaw Star? I mean, I've had this feeling that whatever was going to replace Lupin will indeed go in this slot on the 24th, but if it wasn't a very big show, it's hard for me to see what legal issues could bog it down. FLCL 1 would be best getting a rerun outside of Toonami... well, maybe if they still had an 8:00 p.m. airing of Dragon Ball Super. It's going to be hard to schedule in this case.

Elfie... are you a nihilist?

The iDOLM@STER Episode 18: "A Lot, A Lot"

Someone from Twitter implied that they actually aired the Japanese broadcast version of the episode, because the guy who got impaled on the telephone pole at the end had his death censored. Either way, I don't know, but they could've quickly painted over the comic book before the episode was sent to Atlanta for airing. I'm not expecting it to be on the Blu-ray release.

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.
