And not nearly as proud of it as I am with my weirdness. Black Lotus also has a movie star cast, which you normally don't get for anime outside of Ghibli and Mamoru Hosoda films anymore, but that's as far as its "too good for Toonami" pseudo-designation goes.

Thanks, Sketch. It's always good to have some blanks filled in, even when you're as overly saturated with big spoilers as I am from browsing TV Tropes and /a/ for over a decade.

Took me longer than I should have to figure that out, and I even pulled out Google Search too.

After giving it some extra thought, after reading others' justifications for the situation behind its return point, I've decided I'll watch the two One Piece episodes this Saturday. How much I'm able to enjoy them despite not seeing the 132 episodes skipped will determine whether or not I keep with it. Knowing me and anime, chances are I'll stick around.

Kanon 2006 18

Toonami, you are officially forgiven for skipping 132 episodes of One Piece.

You know what? I think I'm gonna sit this one out. If they were starting right from where they left off in 2017, I'd have been game to get back in, but... yeah. I hope you all enjoy One Piece's return. I, on the other hand, will continue waiting for the next show to be announced. [c'mon, oddtaxi or sonny boy]

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean 5

But the principle!

Middle School Poke: "Man, I wish [adult swim] would air Haruhi Suzumiya so I could hear the word "moe" on American television!" High School Poke: "Don't worry, dude, Durarara!! episode 20's got you covered." Working World Poke: "And so does episode 26 of Assassination Classroom."

Not exactly "write" write, but more map out what the series would be about beyond those debut episodes, kind of like summarizing.

My Dress-Up Darling 2 Slippery Girls 2 is now my new favorite piece of media that doesn't actually exist.

Like Saki Sanobashi, Masked Warrior Lavithunder, and Kinky Kunoichi before it. Fun dream your mind cooked up there, Ben. Seems interesting enough to be worth expanding on some more. As for the legitimacy of "Aozei" as a Japanese name, plenty of names in anime with kanji readings skew towards the unrealistic - most surnames in Japan were actually fabricated by the first ones to have them after the government allowed common citizens the right to surnames and not just the important people like nobility and the samurai class - so I don't see the issue with it. Maybe it could have a reading like "青世井" or something.

Full Dive 7 Godzilla: Singular Point 8

Turner S&P sure loves looking way too far ahead.

Did Turner look too hard on this one, or was I just not looking hard enough? Into the Abyss, that is. 12:00 - Blade Runner: Black Lotus #10 - Clair de Lune - TV-14LV 12:30 - Assassination Classroom #25 - Itona Horibe Time - TV-14L 1:00 - Assassination Classroom #26 - Spinning Time - TV-14L 1:30 - Made in Abyss #1 - The City of the Great Pit - TV-MA (Poke's original rating: TV-PGDV) 2:00 - Naruto Shippuden #369 - My True Dream - TV-PG 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #370 - Sasuke's Answer - TV-PG 3:00 - Cowboy Bebop #9 - Jamming with Edward - TV-PG 3:30 - Cowboy Bebop #10 - Ganymede Elegy - TV-PGLV

I do find it somewhat interesting that so many delicious brown anime girls as of late are getting cast by way of the "POC should voice POC" process, but as they say, if the voice fits, then you can't acquit. Really, I'm just glad that my prediction for Nagatoro's VA came true, even if I kept it to myself until literally just now. I was hoping Zach Aguilar would voice Senpai, but an Erik Kimerer is fine too.

Yeah, you don't even need to look at a cast list to tell that Jiruo's VA is a newbie. (Then again, flat reads are to be expected from a Sentai dub.) Riko's one line at the end definitely sounds a good several steps above that.

I don't like movies where humanity is at risk of death by asteroid Adam McKay should've made a sequel to The Other Guys instead.

And Yet the Town Moves 8

Oh fuck, this was something I probably should've seen coming but didn't because I was too focused on sequels and fare from the past year. Should be fun rewatching this one and comparing-contrasting Turner's ratings with my own. (I anticipate a number of TV-MAVs.) Also, a damn fine excuse to finally get off my ass and watch that dang movie!

I read a theory on Twitter claiming that it wasn't so much deliberate lying as it was the episode prepper for FUNi just adding one out of instinct. Outside of rattling the part of me who likes things to be as factual as possible, it really isn't that big a deal if you think hard and deep enough about it.

Taking all bets: how long until they realize their mistake and the disclaimers stop? [my bet is two months]
