She’s Lum! She even has the horns.

“We now return to Two and a Half Men!”

Black Clover continues to not be a thing and I question its lack of cancellation.

Mazinger Z Infinity. That was a lot of fun.

Saw a bit of Ninja Slayer, which is NOT #1 in da hood G, despite really wanting to be Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Maybe 4 or 5.

Did you see 11/22/63 and Handmaidens Tale yet?

Why does this exist?

It’s got plenty of good ideas but the executions seem a bit...cliche? I did get a smirk seeing the dude who played Max Headroom of all people though. 7/10.

This is also true. It’s between this, Overlord II, and Dank Memes the Anime.

This is the most unecessary sequel since Highlander 2 and there is no real damn point. No one had the same boner for FLCL Williams Street did.

Agreed. It is definitely one of the better shows this season.

Darling in The Franxx 2. This show is amazing.

People care about the Winter Olympics?

It’s good but not the best. There’s better from the series itself.

Guy says Netflix made watching anime cool. Toonami fans take issue.

But wasn’t the original a psychological thriller? Damn good one, but still...

When did he ever say that?

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 13.

Toonami’s last big hurrah was Samurai Jack season 5, because it was the last thing the other services didn’t have. Now? It’s funny, because anime is less segregated than the first boom by a mile but that integration has left Toonami obsolete almost.

The thing for me with Toonami is that a lot of it is stuff you need to be in the mood for. Knowing how Naruto ends soured me on it forever, DBZ is something I’ll take in a chunk every now and then like now that FighterZ is out, and I have no desire to see Hiatus. Even IBO was on Hulu and I saw it there on my own time. If I do want to see something, online services likely have me covered.

Why else would the girl that introduces our broken bird to romance be Lum? Subtlety is a foreign concept to Trigger and Gainax vets.

Apparently A-1 has a bunch of Gainax vets, which furthers my theory that Gainax and its successors love their metaphors. In this case, it's a metaphor for puberty and the discovery of romance. Also Zero Two is Lum. There's no real way to put it. She's Lum from Uruesi Yatsura. Good stuff.

Clearly the series should have ended with GT, weirdo ending and all.
