Hopefully the Netflix acquisition doesn’t just outright extinguish any hype or discussion of the Stone Ocean anime. I’ll still sail the seven seas if I must, but maybe the worldwide release and a simulcast, it could help prevent everyone from jumping ship directly to other means of keeping up with it.

Not too thrilled to see who could replace Norio Wakamoto, but I’m sure they’ll probably pick a good cast out.

The animation is alright, but the color palette really doesn’t work with the character designs ripped straight out of a “How to Draw Anime” book. Wakfu’s looked similar, but the earth tones were a good workaround for its tackiness. Honestly, it would’ve worked better with more stereotypical CalArts designs than have the artists force a square peg into a round hole by making it look “anime”.

If you’re talking about massive releases that last longer than a week, maybe it’d be The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, The Wind Rises or The Secret World of Arrietty.

The time I smacked a spider with a broom and then the spider started spewing out an army of babies.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, hands down. A few runner ups are Killer7, FFVII, Kid Icarus Uprising, Nier Automata, and MGS3.

You might’ve seen this manga panel floating around of Mineta casually confessing to Deku while trying to get him out of his vigilante phase. It’s something that’d be interesting to discuss because of how polarizing it’s been. Even though his phrasing 惚れた (horeta) is often used in a romantic light, fans are begging him to be straight and have it be a mistranslation because erasing his bisexuality means that they wouldn’t have to associate a repulsive molester with being bi, especially with the amount of fictional villains who are revealed to be bi only to emphasize their depravity. At the same time, I think that Mineta being bi would be his one saving grace. He treats women horribly and is a monster towards them for the sake of comic relief, but he has an innocent enough association with men that his one outlet to express his sexuality in the healthiest sense possible would have to be his mild confession to Deku. Unlike the bi villain trope, his confession is an expression of bisexuality that is rooted in genuine affection and admiration rather than over the top lust. It shows far more strength to his character that he can let his guard down and drop his generally sleazy personality entirely for a confession like this. I’d be more adamant about throwing him out if he was clearly willing to sexually assault men too or if he assaulted men from the get-go, but at this point, Mineta having a pure romantic relationship with a guy would be the one thing that doesn’t make him a complete dumpster fire of a person. That, and with how pissy the fandom is about their ships and their willingness to destroy peoples lives if it means representing fanon LGBT+ relationships, it’s amusing that the first character Horikoshi is willing to let come out would be the one nobody would expect but everyone would loathe.

Pretty sure it’s people trying their damndest to place some kind of value on a used manga. They go into a store or warehouse at a $10-$20 value, but once it’s purchased, you couldn’t pay someone to buy them at a rate higher than a dollar each. I ended up giving away stacks of Bleach and Black Butler to thrift stores because they were worthless by the time I wanted to sell them online.

SSSS GORDITOMAN

Darling in the FRIES is looking good

My favorite scene from End of Evangelion was Arthur’s Big Hit.

“Where are my testicles, Alexis!?”

In the comics, Spider-Man had his first fight with the Lizard nearby. In the MCU, the Agents of SHIELD poked around where I’m at, but my area’s biggest appearance was in Iron Man 3. It was amusing to see them pass off a popular historical mansion as the main bad guy’s home.

That's awful. I'm thankful for his work on Black Lagoon & Re:Creators and adore his design for Quetzalcoatl from Fate/Grand Order, but I'm just hoping it wasn't hard on him to make all of this happen or that it didn't cause him to put self-care on-hold. Hopefully, he has the freedom to continue Black Lagoon at his own pace and is able to get the help he needs to take care of his health and overcome his depression.

Every new photo of Ben Affleck has a beard that looks even more disheveled than the last.

It can be Superman’s dog if someone makes an NFT of it.

If I’m wearing it while I’m out, I only take it off when I’m getting ready to eat. It is a non-suave lardass response, but if I’m eating with my hands or need to pick up a cup, my ring would either get messy or clank into everything I touch.

Nobody will expect it when Sephiroth shows up for the Fencing finals.

I don’t think there will be any NDA’s involved for this dub, so this could be a good comeback role for Chris Niosi.

Only the English cast for Bible Black could do this justice.

It’s pretty ballsy to test drive a new original anime on Toonami, especially when Fena isn’t a robot or emotionless. The show looks good, but hopefully it does well cause I know some folks will be pissy about it not being Chainsaw Man or JJK, and dislike it out of spite for not being shounen.

To play for as long as humanly possible before starvation or exhaustion kicks in.

All these years, and he still has folks calling him Rye-u.
