Blend S #8 Puella Magi Madoka Magica #9 and #10 The iDOLM(@)STER #8 [too much of that A-1 sauce]

I maintain that I saw nothing about it from a litany of notable Twitter users.

Presumably no one was in this thread to figure it out, but my previous comment referred to finally finishing up Squid Girl. I ordered the premium box set and it would've shipped out today... but they delayed it until December 26th for quality control reasons. It does suck, especially since it's not the first such delay to happen recently. Sentai pushed a PBS of Haikyu!! back two months for similar reasons, as well as I think one other big product, but I don't remember what it is. Even if I know they care, it's demoralizing to hear. I just hope this isn't an issue of not having everything planned out well enough. Now for some responses:

What does that have to do with the ratings? Aside from, you know, Kakegurui being the alleged hot new Netflix thing I haven't seen anyone talking about.

I'm in the camp that never drops a show because I'm calculated on what I watch. Either someone recommends it to me because it's good or I find out the premise and like it enough to check it out on my own. Of course, even if I'm not a fan of the show, I still feel obligated to finish it... but there's nothing that says you can't take literal years to do so. I put my Akame ga Kill! rewatch on hold because it was starting to get on my nerves after six episodes and giving it new ratings it was no fun. I also slapped My Wife is the Student Council President with an indefinite hiatus because it's basically just porn. But you know how I feel about those.

I just watched the Black Clover trailer. Asta's VA sounds like a poor man's Bryce Papenbrook, but I thought he was competently done. I'm not sure if I could stand a show with such an ingloriously angry protagonist, however, but that's what actually getting down and sampling it is for.

This one's called the "Chicago shuffle"... The iDOLM@STER Episode 7: "Things I Love, Things That Are Important to Me"

Hey, they're making new ones of these. I watched "Earth" today, during a time where I was very much awake.

I just skimmed the on-demand version of the episode and didn't watch it live, but... did they not mention Black Clover at all during the episode? Not even a promo for it at the very end? What the fuck, guys. And Dragon Ball Super had its new time on there, so I have to wonder what the hell would give for them to not say what changes had occured.

One Piece Film: Gold The iDOLM@STER #7 The Ancient Magus' Bride #2

Yeah. Having an active streaming presence means this. I watch Crunchyroll most often through my Wii U. Stuff like that is a much more practical solution than clunky linear website marathons you have to carve out several hours of one day to watch. If an individual [adult swim] app is too niche, do one for all the Turner networks combined. It's not that hard.

One Piece Film: Gold - 7.5/10 More than anything else, it was nice to get acquainted with the franchise once more. I didn't find it overlong, though the final act did drag some and it seemed to contradict the central gimmick of brains not being outmatched by pure strength. Also, the movie had too many references to watersports.

I'm surprised nobody went for the thread (but I did so in a status) if only to call out their Anime Wednesdays.

I think the Lupin replacement will be Knight's & Magic.

Okay, let's give this a try. So I'm going to do it and another episode on Friday. It'll make up for a possible break on the first weekend of December. I mean, I want to do something special... finally wrapping up loose ends and all, but it'll depend on whether or not the box set is in by then. The iDOLM@STER Episode 6: "The Decision to Move Forward"

Well, at this point, I really don't know what to think. There's a chance DeMarco could be lying, but I don't think that is for as long as the block keeps expanding like this. Maybe he just wants the ad rates to be low enough so the DSA can advertise during Toonami?

Blend S #4 to #7 The Ancient Magus' Bride #1 (rewatch) Puella Magi Madoka Magica #7 and #8

I think you just have to go to a post from the prior board that was converted and copy it over, then change the inside text.

For the first time in what is similar to, but legally distinct from forever, Hunter × Hunter is on the stream. And as luck would have it, the very first thing you see after Pre-Flight ends is Gon entering Greed Island for the first time. So it's probably gonna be #61 to #65 all week. Not bad, even though moving ahead so far means the Yorknew arc will never appear in a marathon.

So for Countdown, one of the TOMs blew up the Earth, or at least an Earth-like planet prone to nu... Nutella-focused meltdowns. It also has some confusing time travel rules. So if you can just replace your current self with a version from the past and take their place, I guess TOM didn't realize that his early version could set right what he thought went wrong. Go figure. But he also left behind that hologram, so it's uncertain which plan he felt had a better chance of success; in other words, huh. This is probably the weakest TIE of the new era, at least in my opinion, but it's still fun. I honestly wasn't too impressed with JoJo's this week. The idea of Enyaba being able to bring back the Stands of departed villains has a lot of potential, probably for more than two parts, but they focused too much on Polnareff in the disgusting bathroom, plus the licking, and then Star Platinum swallowed Justice just like that? It felt like an ass pull. But on the plus side, at least Hol Horse is still around, so this is no longer just a binary matter of getting to Egypt for DIO. I hope the show stays that strong.

So we've got a good thing going here now, but it still needs work. For one, while I can do spoilers through a technicality, the text that shows up is almost invisible. I don't want to have it so that I need to change the text color before posting. Also, we need an option to change the number of posts on a page. I know other people don't mind it, but this is really throwing me off.

Hey, pretty much anything is possible at this point. Toonami will be airing in prime time for the first time since it the original block was cancelled back in 2008, and I think more people should realize just how big that is. It's a totally new frontier for the newest iteration. In fact, I feel that most of our fandom had 11:00 as the limit of how early the block should air regardless of how optimistic about that. I honestly think that's the perfect start time, since while I'm not the sort of person who goes out and does stuff that often, I don't want to have it interfere with the potential to do something. But at this point, a 10:30 expansion seems to indicate they have even bigger plans for the block. Could a Toonami starting at 8:00P (and lasting until midnight or 1A) happen? Honestly, I'm not sure their endgame can be anything else. And if it's the latter, they could even bring back the block rerun from 1:00 to 6 and have all of Saturday be anime. And that would be on a completely different level.

"Supposedly" must be the actress' last name.

Well, 10:30. And that's technically in prime time, so I guess Toei might be accepting.
