Appare-Ranman! 4 (rewatch) The Qwaser of Stigmata 12

The Legend of Black Heaven 8

Normally I'd wait and do this in about a week, but while this thread's still lukewarm, I might as well.

First off, I've decided to put Qwaser on hold. Not because it's boring giving an obviously explicitly sexual series the same rating episode after episode, but more in that with the certain limitations I've imposed upon myself as an anime watcher in the New 20s, on top of the natural awkwardness that comes with such an unabashedly ecchi property, it feels more a chore than it would be were I just a casual watcher disturbed and disgusted by the literal titty-sucking premise. The fact that I've started and completed AWOL, Mayo Chiki, Wild 7 Another, and even Redo of Healer in a shorter timespan than how long it took to get from episode 1 of Qwaser to... not even 12 yet, holy shit... should be proof enough that for being a show I was excited about back when some of my favorite people on the ASMB called it unironic garbage, Qwaser isn't as worth the effort as I imagined it would be. I'll eventually get around to episode 12 in the coming month or two, but for the sake of motivation, I'll be stopping after that for an indefinite period. The picture dramas will follow after they too reach their halfway point. As for what will replace it? Who knows... Which leads to the other bit of news, this one more positive. Regarding seasonals, I will be watching two of my own volition this coming summer, an upward trend from the one-per I stuck with for winter and spring. My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Season 2 (or X, if you prefer) is an obvious yes, but because the first didn't even get rating screencaps, it won't be getting content rating clips. Instead, as far as the seasonal line is concerned, the fourth anime to receive content rating clips will be Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan. A strange choice for something that could easily be PG throughout, but since it's a comedy whose source of laughs is the contrast between sunny family-friendly variety programs and the family-unfriendly lessons taught by the emotionally unstable leads, PG straights might be the exception as opposed to the rule. Plus it's from the crew behind Happy Sugar Life, so it might end up winning some over based on that alone. With that, I'll be back for a more weekly approach once the new season starts, and following Blatch's example in some respects as well. Mostly that of the series titles, that way the audience knows what they'll be getting into before the beginning analysis.

Plus it's listed as a Crunchyroll Original, so there's that also.

Shame, you missed Yami vs. Mereoleona and Patrick Seitz finally getting a role. You can skip next week though, it's yet another goddamn recap. MY HERO ACADEMIA - The moment I found out this one was a draw because spoilers (OH HOW I HATE THEM), I had a feeling a time limit was going to come into play. DR. STONE - Not too much to say here either, but I like how they adapted Gen and Ukyo talking to each other in English as them just whisper-speaking, and especially how despite being a mass murderer, Tsukasa at least cares about the comrades his side has lost, unlike that snake Hyoga. YASHAHIME - Once again, knowing what I'm getting into at face value hasn't stopped me from thinking positive when putting the process of actually watching into practice. But even then, there's no denying that as far as Inuyasha goes, Yashahime's debut episode is a strong start. By focusing more on the previous characters engaging in a self-contained plot with the next generation's plot serving as mere window dressing - otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with having Kagome narrate - this really felt like an anniversary special more than a sequel premiere. It was great getting to hear the old cast too! Even Kirby Morrow in what wound up being his final anime role. Thus, I won't give his spirit a hard time about Miroku's lines sounding the most stilted. FOOD WARS - But honestly, this one was my favorite of the night. Ridiculous? Objectively, yes. Enjoyable? Subjectively, also yes. Soma's win, while obvious in hindsight, didn't feel like an easy one to accomplish, especially since he presented his dish first, a practical sign of forfeit in the Food Wars universe. And him doing it all for Akira was so homoerotic (nice to see the studio behind Descendants of Darkness still has it) that it's more than appropriate that this one made it in on the last weekend of Pride Month. Sucks about all the others predictably failing though. LOL at Zenji's defeat being summed up by his glasses shattering. BLACK CLOVER - But then again, the animation for it wasn't all that great, and there was too much focus on the other side for the whole experience to really be worth it. Besides, Spade Seitz will have his time to shine once the transition back to manga canon is complete in two weeks, plus whatever change FUNimation needs to keep a consistent simuldubbing schedule. SHIPPUDEN - When all else fails, just blame Danzo. Chances are he was behind it in some capacity.

For christ's sake, Elfie. That doesn't mean that [adult swim] isn't airing Fena. Really, the least that it could mean is that Crunchyroll gets first dibs on airing it. But even then, we won't know until we get more information, so keep your spastic responses in your pants for now.

Eh, you really aren't missing that much. 12:00 - My Hero Academia #96 - Match 3 Conclusion - TV-14V 12:30 - Dr Stone: Stone Wars #7 - Secret Mission - TV-14LV 1:00 - Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon #1 - Inuyasha: Since Then - TV-14LV 1:3- Food Wars!

Twenty bucks says that if this ever gets out of development hell, they age up Riko and Reg for decency's sake.

I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job. 7

I don't know how to react to having the content rating clips and their Twitter postings be called "weird" - especially since I'm of the view that Twitter should be used for media and fetishes, not political leanings - but I approve of your new system, as well as the altered rating bug styles. (I always thought they looked more than a little blurry in your original caps.)

And Yet the Town Moves 2

The Legend of Black Heaven 7

Even on what counts for a good night nowadays, 2014's ratings look good compared to recent years.

The Tsukasa Empire Redemption, of course. Second place goes to Shippuden with its clever transition from Obito's villain origin story to the Akatsuki's own.

Legal by feudal Japanese standards, maybe...

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 11

Everyone but me, but whatever you do don't @ me on that. MY HERO ACADEMIA - I swear, Monoma, one of these days you're gonna be shanked in the parking lot behind a Denny's and no one will cry for you at your funeral. Tetsutetsu, on the other hand, is easily the best boy of Class B, no contest. And it looks like Endeavor's redemption arc is continuing to go smoothly, good for him! And finally, I read that there was going to be something gross at the end of this episode, but when I found out it was Iida pulling out his shin-mufflers, I felt extremely underwhelmed about it. Clearly my definition of "gross" is different from most people's. DR. STONE - I don't know what's considered the most foolproof prison break in fiction, but Chrome escaping the Tsukasa Empire with just some plants and a piece of smuggled contraband is definitely up there with some of the best. And as much of a bastard as he is, I kinda like Yo, reminds me of my policeman OC only slightly more murder-y. FOOD WARS - I'm not the craziest about the "twins that are varying degrees of creepy" trope, as my extreme disdain for the twin lolis from Fire Force can attest, but I can totally see the appeal in Cilla and Berta. Then again, I'm probably just saying that because I like their designs, especially the sweater/overall skirt combo. (Also, their foodgasm bear-girl outfits are easily the most kemonomimi costumes I've seen on Toonami in recent memory.) PROMISED NEVERLAND - I was fully prepared to take my first comment back, but surprise surprise, I didn't dislike this one either. It's almost as if people telling me a show's going to be bad and no one will like it is enough to make me like it when I actually sit down and watch it! Even if my feelings aren't primarily out of spite! Still, this season was easily inferior to the first, and could've used an extra episode to better explain the ending slideshow. So I'm only going to give it an 8/10 on my horribly skewed scoring system, which is comparable to a 6/10 by normal people standards. BLACK CLOVER - Based on the promo and how this episode ending, I'm thinking next episode's gonna be a Yami and Mereoleona one. Oh, and this one was kinda alright too. Virgin Street Punk Dandy is just as much of a loser as Dandy Prime, if not moreso. SHIPPUDEN - Welp, so much for full OPs every week being a thing. And for seeing Vic talk to himself. Oh well, at least we got the Akatsuki's complete origin story out of it this week. YASHAHIME PROMO - Okay, so not only do we have a TV-MA blanket rating for this show, but they're pixelating out the featureless boobs on the enemy she-demons. I'm actually more concerned about what this is insinuating than I am the show's actual writing quality, but then again, that's to be expected from someone with such specified interests as mine.

And Yet the Town Moves 1

As for that Food Wars I missed, I got around to it and, as usual, enjoyed it. There was something kind of fun about seeing them talk about New Orleans like it's some obscure place. 12:00 - My Hero Academia #95 - Match 3 - TV-14 12:30 - Dr Stone: Stone Wars #6 - Prison Break - TV-14LV 1:00 - Food Wars!

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 3 and 9 (rewatch)

I'll probably like season 2 regardless of what I've heard, but when one of the most impartial anime watchers you know shits out a Twitter thread out of nowhere to dunk on it, going in with caution is your best bet.

Food Wars! The Third Plate 16 Number one on the ThreatDown: BEARS!

I might've said this somewhere before, but if not, I'll say it now: this show better be damn good to justify how hard B: The Beginning's second season failed compared to the first. [from what I've read]
