MY HERO ACADEMIA - Hey, the full OP's back! I love this electric idiot. Uh, I'm pretty sure "not forgetting this feeling" is the exact opposite of "moving on". Still, good advice all around. Goddammit I really just can't not enjoy watching Midnight. 🥰 Fall down a flight of stairs and snap your neck, Monoma. I probably would've said the same thing about Bakugo three years ago, but times have changed. I like those eye-shaped buttons on Parasyte Dandy's shirt. Though for some reason, it's more painful this season than it was in previous. Thank you for telling us why this arc exists, All Might. Not even Monoma's classmates like Monoma. Check out the synchronized posing on the B Team. It's a little something us Americans like to call "pigeonholing". Kendo really is one of the only decent people in Class B. "This is a black thing, isn't it?" I probably won't, but I'd like to use that "biased commentary" image the next time Anime News Network acts like it's excluding part of the greater fandom with their opinions. I agree with Tetsutetsu, death to Monoma. Unfortunately, some of them appear to be following his lead in doping on whatever "Class A sucks" drug he's continuously injecting into his bloodstream. REVELRY IN THE ABYSS. Wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night. Now that's what I call edgy. I'm not used to Tokoyami without his cloak, but he looks kinda cool without it? Now this is a 2020-relevant motivational speech I can get behind 100%. Finally a flashback to Tokoyami's internship days. Hawks makes heroing look so easy. So you admit that it was mostly a joke. He was one of the stealth MVPs of the Sports Festival, so it makes sense. "Nothing beats a bird's eye view." True, which is why it was so disappointing when Bing Maps got rid of that feature; and the 3D option for Google Earth just isn't the same. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT. Eh, I like the name "Vantablack" better. Can't Stop Twinkling can't stop screaming. I'd say he's actually "jumping good", but yes, he can fly. Deku, your inner nerd is showing. Whup, things are getting trippy now, and no one's even ingested anything yet. Ah shit, she's come down with Monoma fever too. DR. STONE - Might not wanna scream that so loud, Taiju, someone's bound to hear you. At least it's on the more convincing side, if only by the skin of its metaphorical teeth. As I thought, they have to take out the guy with the super hearing first. AND THE SHOW TITLE'S STILL MISSING! That idea's so stupid it's brilliant! Oh man, he almost lost his ability to reproduce. So in a way, Magma's idea is playing out as intended, even with Chrome taking the lead. HAWAII SMASH! Baaad sense of hearing. Yeah, wave that white flag of war! Huh, Ukyo's a surprisingly decent dude, for being on Tsukasa's side. The entrance to Tsukasa's cave quarters is an architectural masterwork, and the architect is nature. What animal are they harvesting their coat fur from, anyway? Lions? From sorcerer to scientist. You say that like "lioness" isn't more flattering a title than "gorilla", and believe you me, it is. I like their jail setup. Don't be a pussy, Ginro. He's gonna re-invent the wheel! RUNNING IN THE 5700s. The more comprehensive the blueprint, the better. Wobble wobble. BEES. I knew crayons were made of wax, but lipstick too? Recycle tech to make more tech, now that's putting the environment first! It's an engineer thing, I wouldn't sweat it. "Oh shit, we gave them the wrong hostage!" Sorry, Chrome, but the magic of photons ain't gonna save you this time. You say you hate warlords, and yet you are one. Curious! That's our show, Chrome's dead, good night. Thanks, Ukyo. THANKS, TSUKASA? SHIT COUNT: 2. Double thanks, Ukyo. Car parts, acquired! And then car acquired! I was not expecting to see Gen with a bowler hat on when I woke up this morning. Or Suika in a tiny suit. Magma looking like a mafia enforcer, though, I'm not surprised by in the slightest. FOOD WARS - Quit whining and conquer your fear of flying. I still wanna know what wool hat guy's deal is, especially since he's one of the few to outright say no to Food Fascist Dandy's machinations. Hey, more additions to that ending shot! I've only seen this guy for ten seconds and already I wanna throw him in front of a train. On a more positive note, it's nice to see Meat-Meat's following Soma's example by breaking the assumed dress code. But what about Ichiraku Ramen? This dude and his strict limitations makes the hag from last week look like a downright sweetheart. Not sure if Alice's different suit design or Sadatsuka's hat count as dress code violations, but Miyoko's qipao and Ryo's jacket-vest are definitely non-regulation. Only the highest ranking letter for the God Tongue. And as expected, they all get last dibs. That bastard, he took the local weather patterns into consideration! I hope you choke and burn on that brandy when it goes down the wrong pipe, you elitist douchenozzle. What a creative on-the-fly use for tomato sauce. It appears that this show is trying to get me into Erina now, and I hate to say it but it's working. That's right, cower in the face of their minimalistic approaches. Isn't it false advertising to call a Japan-native potato Irish? Yeah, they're worthy of a passing grade as much as you're worthy of my foot in your ass. As a fan of potatoes, I would honestly try that dish, the three days of migraines associated with my oddly specific gluten allergy would probably be worth it (if I had enough Advil to get me through it). With that comparison, I bet her haters are just waiting for the scene where she gets burned at the stake. Guys, it's just soft-serve ice cream. You never know what you'll find in a hole-in-the-wall diner. Hisako's really grown to be my favorite toady character in anime, at least one better than that shallow bitch Hououmaru. Did she just say "au revoir"? Even she's calling her Meat-Meat now. Her fangirling's so strong I'm actually tempted to headcanon her as bi. Wait, so that manga was Megumi's? Damn, that Soma/Erina doujin I read made me think they were Zenji's instead! And that's how Erina learned the meaning of casual friendship. They may have forgotten the whole "branching routes" thing from last episode, but I didn't, and that's what truly matters. TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Erina, Megumi. What a predictable bunch. Bags, bags everywhere. Rindo is best girl, eating with her despite her allegiances is in my opinion worth it. Based on the first two rounds, I'd say the likeliness of unfair play is really high. Holy shit I legit wasn't expecting this twist. But the question is, which member of the Ten did Hayama replace? PROMISED NEVERLAND - Cannibalism and tumors, cannibalism and tumors everywhere. Considering he's been coughing up blood at random intervals as of late, better for him to die a martyr than waste away doing nothing, at least according to some people. Just in case the metaphor from last episode didn't make sense. Norman doesn't even know what he wants anymore. Tonight's theme is friendship. Are you sure, 'cause from what I saw all the drugs they "pumped you" with were ingestible pills. "On second thought, maybe degenerating all demons was a poor idea." It's okay, he'll grow another one. Kewl. In which Mujika and her followers fix everything Norman and his posse broke. Face it, Barbara, you too were a children once. To be fair, they didn't start giving him drugs until after he left Grace Field. Like I said, friendship. "The only thing they'll have to worry about now is putting out all those fires." But as luck would have it, they've jumped out of the fire and right into another, different frying pan. Meanwhile, looks like Isabella got promoted. Though I wouldn't call her "Grandma" until Ray has a kid of his own. I dunno, sounds awfully ambitious. If you're greenlighting another Lambda Project, why not just go one letter ahead and call it the Mu Project? Damned changing industry standards! Lucky for you, Phil doesn't need a drug to be super-smart. Emma, meet Emma. When you lose enough precious fluids, all humanoid species tend to blur together. When you've gone full vegan but actually care about inadvertently alienating your friends and loved ones with your beliefs. Like I said earlier, the more comprehensive the blueprint, the better. That is so the Farm System, creating a cure for terminal experimentation disease and withholding it from the people who actually need it. "We must go, our people need us." Same name. STOP SNITCHIN'. The last two episodes have no credited screenwriter, so I'm gonna enter those ones with trepidation. I don't even know who the main character of this fucking movie is supposed to be. BLACK CLOVER - Finral has a last name, y'know. I'm honestly surprised he isn't sending Yuno out too. Though passing up on that offer is a Yuno move. That feel when the ghost who possessed you once did your abilities better than you ever could. Send in Jack, and you'll have an international incident right off the bat. Finally, he snapped out of it. Plus your squad's been doing great this past year, so who knows, maybe you'll actually get some non-pity decorations this time! Or maybe not. Oh, Sekke. You're a real failure of a character. Eh, I'm not sure if I'd call her the "calm" type. Hell, even she doesn't admit it. Dammit Char, you of all people should know that she's no straighter than a Mobius strip. Plus her breasts looked the best they've ever been during that battle. "I appreciate the promotion, but no thank you!" Thanks for the pep talk, Fuego. What a show-off. Asta would get promoted too, but he's still technically on trial, so none for him. The best thing about Bell is that nobody likes her. Oh god, he's even picked up Sekke's habit of stretching the truth beyond its elastic limits. You suck, King. Ah, so Asta does get a promotion after all! Or not. Like I said, he is still on trial. You can always pawn that medal if you're short on cash. Sucks to be Finral. Your resolve is much appreciated, Virgin Street Punk Dandy, but the answer's no. Or not! The Four Amigos (and Two Amigas). Not now, Langris, he's having a moment. SHIPPUDEN - SURPRISE FULL OP TIME. AGAIN. Seriously, this is the first time a single Naruto OP's been played in full more than twice on the block since the English-exclusive OP for season 1. Oh yeah, Kakashi doesn't know that Madara's back. Yeahhhhhh that's putting it lightly. [OP should've gone here] Oh shit, I didn't know she got bisected. Nagato wound up being pretty based, especially for one of Vic's characters. Uchiha hax, son. "It all started when I was born..." Considering how powerful he is, I wouldn't put it past Old Man Madara to be the personification of the Grim Reaper itself. Does he realize that he's missing an arm yet, because I don't think that he does. God I love it when Pierrot does sakuga. This man's definitely an Uchiha, he's emo as fuck and is disappointed Obito isn't the same (yet). Is half this episode gonna be flashbacks to that two-parter, 'cause we went through the same song and dance last week. Like changing a lightbulb. "And what are those tubes coming out of his back?" As I thought. Wait a tic, is that what happened to the First Hokage? I'm surprised he still has his other leg. What hopeful music to accompany what's essentially the beginnings of Project Tsukinome. If only coming back to life was as easy as you think it is.

I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job. 5

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 9

I checked MAL earlier today, and now Promised Neverland S2 ranks as the second-worst anime ever aired on Toonami/[as]. SD Gundam still wins the crown on that one, though, because full CG toyetic spin-offs just aren't some peoples' bag, baby.

A lot happened this month. New part-time job, new full-time job, new laptop... Yet not as much anime-watching as normal, so apologies if this one seems a little on the light side.

Considering Obito shares the same VA as non-badass Tobi, his current voice is his badass Tobi voice. The other one was just him using Madara's voice on loan.

I feel like it's been forever since I've seen the Toonami intro animation. MY HERO ACADEMIA - I don't believe in "copium", but I will say that Monoma is freebasing it more than even hardcore druggies know to. I WAS PROMISED A FULL OPENING THEME, TOONAMI, SO WHERE THE FUCK IS IT. I kinda love that Deku's being used as the metaphorical example for Shinso's Quirk. Little late to be freaking out there, Kaminari. HOI JOSO KETSU. Way to go, guy and girl. The animation this episode is super fluid, almost too much. Oh, I forgot that guy's Quirk was used during the Sports Festival. Careful, you almost punched him in the dick there; his voice sounds Greg Ayres-ey enough already. Beast dude's surprisingly nimble. Team Kirishima's blasting off agaiiiiiiiiiin. [twinkle] "Don't you nerds know basic math?" That's a cute sign. You're in regular jail, Kekkaishi Guy, try not to make it a horny jail on top of it. Okay, now the odds are even. Fuck you, Monoma. That Shinso really is a pretty cool guy. "I'm smelling triple! Nine Asuis!" I don't really like Ibara's vocal gimmick, too overly formal. Nope, not even gonna. Of course Deku and Mineta would be the ones chatting about Tsu's secret ability. And here's a flashback to explain what I mean by that. Thanks, show! And now for a random Gunbuster Science Lesson. With a pretentious speaking style like that, no wonder they called you an "Assassin" during the Sports Festival. What the hell does that name even mean? Everything about Ibara's hero shtick pisses me off, especially the throaty vocals to her theme music. BURRRRRRRN. Chinese Guy's Quirk would be the coolest of the four, if not for Kekkaishi Guy appealing to ACTN obscurity with his powers. Finally, someone shut her up. It's possible you have an idea? AIYAAA. Gotta love those double kicks. Oh hey, I remember this screensaver! ERASER STYLE: CONCUSSION ATTACK. Now that's a finisher. Teamwork, fuck yeah! Considering he was missing for two seasons, I wouldn't be surprised. I liked it better when she wasn't trying too hard to have Jerusalem Syndrome. Yeahhhhh Vlad totally isn't biased. DR. STONE - For someone obsessed with killing all adults, Tsukasa sure did revive a lot of middle age-looking guys, unless being expendable is their purpose... Careful with that death stare, girl, they might end up noticing. Remember when the show tried to make us think Taiju was the main character? See, I told you they'd notice you eventually. This man knows not the meaning of subtlety. They aren't exactly manly tears, but they will do. I AM SENKUUUUUU. And still no show title! What the fuck is wrong with you, FUNimation? Ruri knows what's up, compared to everyone else. "Is it the anniversary of the guy's death?" Wouldn't be surprised if it was that long since he faked it. You don't know how well Senku knows this guy. Oh hey, they're still in the vicinity. Magma sure became enjoyable after getting his ass beat once. That's a bingo~. 😂 And then Magma was All Might. You know things are gonna get good when a character has a brain blast. Arson, arson! A little too literal a flash. "I'll kill you if you die!" says the meathead. I've always been somewhat of a minor fan of Mahk, so I do appreciate his breed breaking into the mainstream through Boston Cousin Guy. Record player: complete. Yeah, she's definitely gonna be a tough one to convince. Look at Taiju take all those punches, what a chad. "Okay, but if what he says is 'card games on motorcycles', I'm punching you right in the dick!" TRANSGENDER TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE. Sebastian is the most generic servant name ever, so obviously he's making it up on the fly. I'm not sure if Taiju really believes this or if he's just really good at playing along. Oh man, this chick knows a lot about her. And that flashback would explain why. Welp, looks like Gen's gonna die. TEN BILLION RECORDS SOLD. We getting mathematical up in this shit. Lemme guess, the second question are her bust waist and hip sizes. Called it~. Of course Senku would know that, being a teenage boy once and everything. I miss White Russian Seitz. Hey, there's nothing wrong with a 60-centimeter waist. More like deep it-shay. That /a/ screencap was right, Nikki is best girl. Recorded media really is the greatest double-edged sword humanity ever invented. New teammate, acquired! FOOD WARS - And so Erina begins her ascent from a plain ol' stuck-up bitch to somewhat resembling of a proper tsundere. Not a bad cut for this OP, Sentai's actually pretty good at truncating TV sizes. Of course Food Fascist Dandy would appeal to those main campus fucknuggets without any effort in the slightest. We goin' to Hokkaido this season, fellas. Teacher Erina's kinda doing things for me. It's easy to forget that Meat-Meat started out as one of her lackeys. Hey, when the stakes are as high as they are at Totsuki, it's best to prepare for anything and everything. The dudebros do seem like remedial school types. That was all before she learned you were your dad's son. FACE-FIRST SNOW ANGELS. Snow's been a rarity for them all their lives, let them have these five minutes. Oh yeah, Yuki's gonna be semi-prominent this episode. (Anyone paired with Soma usually is.) Yes, what about Akira? And Erina's stuck with four members of the fanclub she probably doesn't know she has. I think I recognize her from one of the earlier episodes. Special lectures outside of the protagonists' knowing, that is some real Kunugigaoka-level underhanded tactics. That tears it, your team's dish will have to be vegetarian. I wanna smack this bitch across the face with a purse full of toner cartridges. Thank you for wiping the smirk off that old bag's face, Erina. The guys are just posing all regular, while Alice knows the show's real audience with hers. These main campus fucknuggets all deserve to die from food poisoning. I'm coming close to just throwing an entire printer at this cunt's head. Thank god Soma and crew put the fear of god into her with the sight of a single fish instead. ALL COOKING IS SCIENCE! Damn, I got so caught up in the excitement I forgot to comment. Oh yeah, the first episode had him make something with mostly spoiled ingredients as the obvious options too. He is the protagonist, it's no surprise he'd act like he's the one in charge. Teacher Erina is now regular Erina's STAND, and you will show her the respect a STAND user deserves. Part of me was hoping the titular "Totsuki Train" would just be a metaphor. At least they all get to ride in luxury instead in the very back. I've heard enough about hentai doujins to know where this interaction would go in some fanfic's interpretation. The Japanese sure do love their body massage machines. STARE AT THEIR BOOBS. Everybody Loves Erina. Even as the show quality starts to decline, character development marches on. TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Erina, Salmon Hag. PROMISED NEVERLAND - OH MY GOD IT'S CRISPIN FREEMAN. Heh, Norman has no idea what to think about actually being adopted instead of killed. The direction and framing for this whole sequence is still pretty neat and expectant. Oh, so they're trying to break his brain, then. PILLS HERE. Even at his most dickish, he still has an odd sense of charisma to him; that's the power of the voice. Communication via Rubik's Cube, not sure how that works but also neat. I know they're just fast-tracking through manga material here, but montages like this are my jam. I should know, I've written two of them for my own stuff. "Aw shit, there goes my tuberculosis again." So are you playing chess against yourself or... Yep, he is. And boom goes the dynamite. Okay, the conditions she lived in sort of explain her radical mindset, but it doesn't make me any less disturbed by it when she lets it loose. An early place to cut to commercial, but an appropriate one. Delta marks the spot. Or maybe not. (Bullhorn.) Run for your lives, it's bad CG! Ah, so that's where it was cut originally. Yeah, Norman's too mentally and physically fargone to stop now. That's their horse! Kindness can't survive, not without a little cruelty. He can be your angle or your devil. OH YEAHHHHHHH. You just have to hit as many eyes as necessary before you can consider it defeated. Awwwwww crap. Nevermind, thanks Sonju. She's already on the ball and she didn't even need to know the details. And boom goes the dynamite. Again. Well this is already terrifying, even if they are a bunch of humanitarians. Oh hey it's those two kid brothers. This background song sounds two steps away from being ALI PROJECT; what does that say about this season in general? I'm still curious to know what the Unknown Sad Sack's deal up there is. "I go to the pharmacy for five minutes, and then this happens." Now this is cannibalism. MARTHAAAAAAAAAAA. Memes aside, I'm actually surprised that old dude wound up playing such an involved role. And he's "evil"-blooded too, that sure is convenient yet interesting! At this point, I'm just enjoying watching Norman's crisis of conscience play out. Well that sure is a visual. If I was running these credits, I'd have credited "Granddaughter Demon" as "The Other Emma". BLACK CLOVER - "Along with the Wizard King, the Captains are revered as great role models." Even if they aren't really the best people deep down. Happy dance. I love that dude's magic aquarium. True, it's been a long while yet at the same time not too long. I like to think the first anti-bird swarm Asta experienced was how Nero found her excuse to stick close to him. That "pointless existence" comment did feel a little forced all things considered, but it's nice to see he's rolled the dickishness back a good bit. Gee, why does Yami get two attendants? "You win a broom, and you win a broom! Everybody wins a broom!" Friendly reminder that Yami was planning on taking Asta in from the start but withheld his vote to see how he'd react to widespread rejection and his follow-up to said reaction. These two have good chemistry, if not for the nun fetish I'd just tell them to make out already. Shut up, Bell. Funny thing, I was just thinking about Asta and Yuno being a more believable friendship-rivalry than Naruto and Sasuke earlier today. I wonder if Gordon speaking more audibly was the result of the ADR director telling his VA he was speaking too quiet in earlier episodes. Well this is technically filler, can't have too many status quo changes before we get back into it. Sounds like someone's gonna be on the crapper all night. "Here's your necklace back." Oh yeah, the dude with the conspicuous CG chains. One year in show, three years plus change out. PARTY TIME. For all this show's faults, and there are a lot of them, I really do like it. SHIPPUDEN - Ah, so Naruto's now his former subordinate. "Gah, my tentacles!" Oh crap, those are the same chains he used on the other beasts. B's not rhyming, that means this is really serious. And Kakashi's bleeding from his special eye, same deal. Turns out the poof was just a secondary decoy. RIGHT IN THE MASK. Oh hey, I recognize some of those young people! Even the ones I haven't seen the younger versions of before. Don't have any thoughts about young Anko, don't have any thoughts about young Anko... That's one way to do the Heimlich. To be Hokage, that was his dream. Even as genin, Asuma and Kurenai totally had a thing going on. And then Kakashi won the Chunin Exam, even though I know it doesn't work that way now. I assume that invitation's for a party to celebrate Kakashi becoming a jonin? At least, that's what I think I can tell from some of the characters on that sheet. I'm surprised the dub cast remembered that Vic voiced Obito over two hundred episodes ago. "Your dad did nothing wrong, Kakashi." Shit, that sounds like it went more than skin deep. Sharingan, fuck yeah. And that's how you do a reveal that's obvious but no less lacking in impact. That's right, Tobi was Madara was Obito all along. Not now, Sasuke, we're busy dealing with your relative of unknown association. Naruto doesn't know who that is, but Kakashi and Guy do, and that's all that matters. Flashbacks to flashbacks, sasuga Pierrot. "It's no u se, this rock is too giant!" IRRELEVANT. It's so surreal hearing Tobi's voice say such things in a serious manner. "You let Rin die" made it into the dub without any changes, huzzah. KURAMA-BLOCKED. Nice of you to join the reunion, Madara. If there's one thing I'm grateful Boruto's first 52 didn't spoil for anybody, it was Tobi's true identity.

Not even the properties they don't care about anymore?

I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job. 4

Shut your mouth, Melissa was a great song even if it wasn't as edgy as the OPs to follow. I was under the impression (still am) that Ready Steady Go aired for three cours instead of just the one because Aniplex was pushing the L'arc~en~Ciel album the song was on in the states around that time, and that nobody knew who Porno Graffitti and Cool Joke were, hence their songs wouldn't sell.

Alice in Borderland (J-Drama) 6 I don't plan on ever playing Among Us, and I'm sick of the memes as much as this guy, but the game reveal at the end was just too perfect not to geek out about.

Imagine how crazy it would be if they revived the Green Jacket theme for this series.

The Legend of Black Heaven 5 In which overconfidence leads to disillusionment, culminating in a reference to the end result of most The Who concerts.

An appropriate response.

Eh, outside of the one night where they just kept airing them, Hot Pockets ads aren't exactly "random", since they've been broadcast on the block consistently for years. Those Ben 10 toy commercials that aired every night during Eureka seveN reruns, on the other hand? Those were straight outta left field.

Pessimistic attitudes like this are why nobody listens to you.

Good news, everyone! After a long, hard year out of college looking for work while living the NEET lifestyle (until I got a retail job, anyway), I have finally managed to secure full-time employment in my field. Feels good, even if the uphill climb of paying rent and other adulting stuff will be considerably steep. MY HERO ACADEMIA - I think we've seen this dream twice already. AfO's so old he comes from a time when Quirks were called something else. QUIT MOCKING ME BONES. Aoyama's PJs. I assume All Might isn't in there because he's still alive. They wanted you to get good already. And that's just another reason why he's the protagonist. Okay, starting to feel more comfortable seeing All Might's mentor in these flashbacks now. "Sorry, got lost in the past for a bit there." I assume that red-headed kid in the distance there is that "Toya" Todoroki's brother mentioned last episode. (Also, that Black Clover shirt. ) Okay, so All Might was in that dream, I just couldn't recognize him. Relatively new and alive is right. ...You gonna eat those sandwiches? Wait, was he talking about Deku's mom in that flashback I don't remember happening? Quit putting ideas into the fangirls' heads, Eraser, this is a country where shotacon's illegal. Oh hi Shinso. A day so busy, it's gonna span several episodes. Okay, so all these outfit upgrades are just seasonal adjustments. That would definitely explain why Bakugo's showing less skin than usual. I'm at the point now where Bakugo's hate of Deku just makes me laugh. Yep, she's got talent, all right. EAT SHIT AND DIE, MONOMA. And stop JoJo posing, nobody wants to see that. Who else wants to throw this kid down a bottomless pit of no return? THANKS ERASER. Tetsutetsu is the best Class B guy. This tired office lady seems pretty cut-oh shit it's Birdgirl. Holy shit his dream about the vestiges foreshadowed Shinso's return. Say all the edgy crap you want, you're still better than Monoma. Gee, Shinso, two matches? One good vs. another good, one evil vs. another evil, in the end it's just training. Oh, Bakugo. Deku looks excited to be on the same team as Uraraka again. "Tell us more details about your Quirk!" "I bet girls kinda dig that smirk." Does it count as a Bullhorn if it's said by two different people? Fuck you, Monoma. He kept it in hammerspace, all shonen protags have one. This is the part where I'd normally get excited about Midnight showing up with some degree of relevance, so just pretend I am instead of telling you I would be. Don't be a dumbass, Kaminari. GRATUITOUS ASS SHOT. Gotta love pigeon. Jeez, how many of Class B besides Monoma are total dicks? That goes for you too, Kekkaishi guy. Shinso's a pretty cool guy, mimics voices with his mask and doesn't afraid of anything. Hold up, that speech bubble headed kid has a voice? DR. STONE - My mind's still kind of blown that despite being advertised as a main character alongside Senku, Taiju's been missing for half the series at this point. SHOW US THE SERIES TITLE ALREADY YOU COWARDS. Oh Magma, you truly are the Corkus of this show. A one in ten billion chance, you mean. Girl fight... denied. Don't fuck with professional gymnasts. Because you're too attractive to be taken seriously as a villain, that's why. H-HAYAI. Science lasso, go! It flashes and it bangs, hence the name. Oh Mecha-Senku, you're a terrible role model. What the fuck is this "Print Goku" you speak of? [one Google search later] Ah, it's color screen printing. That falling Kohaku in the background. Oh well, an attempt was made. Was that Magma's toady she knocked out? Oops, maybe not. Don't you just love it when characters use their brains to figure out things the audience already knows? Fuck yeah, black lights! It's only because of Titmouse and the staff member they have directing it that I'm even a quarter of the way interested in watching Star Trek: Rick & Morty Edition. Great for identifying semen stains at crime scenes! Yea to using the front of the sword, nay to skipping straight to beheading. RING RING. Thank god they have these graphics for those of us who can't keep up with the pace of the dialogue as quick. "Shit, did I just fall asleep?" Curse you, ritualistic hygiene! Heh, Gen calls him "Senku-chan". They don't know what texting is. Gen's underhanded tactics strike again! 😁 TIMBERRRRRR. It wasn't easy, but it was successful, and that's what truly matters. And so the journey continues. Welcome to the wailing wall, population oh so many. Magma says, "It's murderin' dismemberin' time!" Wait, did Gen know that guy? I never would've guessed Gen would be that humble about himself. How nice of him to make a grave for such a worthy adversary. Or maybe it was made up by someone else. Damn you, Dr. Stone! That kid must be the insanely good hearing guy. Speaking of whom.. OH MY GOD HE COULD'VE DIED. It's easy to forget that Taiju's insanely strong. What a tearful reunion, and it isn't even face-to-face. FOOD WARS - Anyone else find it strange that they're still using the Lunar Festival-centric bumps when we're well into the srs bzns part of the series? Ooh, color swap! And just like that, Erina's worldview got turned on its head. NEW OP TIME, LET'S GOOOOOO. That's right, they made this season a split-cour just so they could give the second half its own fancy sub-subtitle. This really isn't Tsukasa's day. Sounds good on the surface, not so much after considering where our protagonists stand. I like to think of it less as a "death sentence" and more a "declaration of war", but hey, it's your funeral if you really want it to be. Meanwhile, Soma's just acting based like always. I'm not expecting this surprise visit to end in sex, but I have no complaints if it does. Like I said last week, even Soma knew he was beat. Her life was boring, until Soma's dad made it interesting again. I know sunflowers are supposed to be a common thing across anime, but I can't help but think of Champloo when I see them. And then Food Fascism Dandy came in and ruined everything with his Darwinian ideas. Huh, wasn't expecting that to come out of Soma's mouth. Hisako, I know you care about her deeply and all, but just chill for a moment. I turned on the closed captions for a moment, and I'm glad I did 'cause I never would've caught that line about the 3D printer. Come to think of it, Erina hasn't fallen victim to his experiments yet. It's something only those who've suffered forced foodgasms by metaphorical tentacles can understand. Cooking can be fun and games, even when it's all about winning. [shudders] "Butter her up"... I was waiting for her to flash back to that episode. (Hard to believe that was only less than two years ago we saw that...) In the end, it all comes back to the eggs. He freeze-dried those eggs just like the Kingdom of Science freeze-dried their ramen. I'm inclined to agree, eggs are a stupid easy dish to make, one of the first I've made in fact. Who knew bell peppers could be so expensive? Cheap does not necessarily mean low quality. I'll confess, I was never a fan of the foodgasms that involved chibi Somas. And who knew eggs could be so deep? "I bought these eggs cheap... on purpose!" Only an elitist would think like that. Do you want to act like an elitist all your life, Erina? Cooking: actually, it does count as a form of gambling. She can't believe she ate the whole thing. Shut it, Azami's spirit. You're kinda forcing her opinion a little too hard there, Soma. That's a strange way of saying "I liked it, now leave me alone". He picked the wrong day to wear no sleeves. I wasn't sure about that speech at the start, but it wound up good in the end, and impressive too, coming out of Erina's mouth. 👏 👏 👏 TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Erina, Megumi. Finally, consistent Fo'xtails on Toonami. I will forever question why FUNi didn't just make their own shortened version of the Dimension W ED when they were on the damn production committee for the show. PROMISED NEVERLAND - So what you're saying is, Mujika is Rule 63 Demon Jesus. I doubt solving the problem another way will be as easy as spiking the higher ups' food supply with Mujika's blood Zeke-style. Aristocracy is a bitch. He who controls the meat, controls the universe. "I can't have any deus ex machinas getting in the way of the year of hard work I spent putting this plan of mine into motion!" Eh, you'd think different once you found out about Sonju's desire for the ultimate in "wild game". That's a poor comparison, Norman, everyone could just move on to their second-favorite food and make that their new favorite. Bad news, your pen is outdated. TFW you didn't even need to go through all that effort to find an escape route. Honk louder, Emma. Your appeals to pathos won't work on him this time. Oh well, thank god for logos. KNOCK KNOCK. That must be ally #4. It's a neat-looking hideout, I'll give them that. "Convenient yet inconvienient" makes way more sense than "infamous yet forgettable"; whoever wrote that School Days review that said that was a moron. Chill, Barbara. Aw shit it's a migraine. Does anyone here know any faith healing, or at the very least possess a dick of above-average length? BASTARD COUNT: 1. Just say something that'll get them to wait a little longer for your actual answer, like that you have herpes. Once you kill a giant demon and keep the body in your basement, there really is no point of return at that stage. Not even the a capella version from their Futurama ep could prepare me for how awesome the full version of Sabotage was. Rock on, Beasties. Talk about food, and it'll only make your stomachs growl louder. You just gotta think like someone who has to deal with a militant vegan's bullshit all hours of the day. Uh-oh, the cannibalism's starting to set in... Now's not the time to be a buzzkill, Gilda. Of course he's coming, every team needs a token black dude. What convenient timing! Oh damn, now he's getting migraines. Scratch that, migraines and blood puke. And now for a flashback to technically better times. Or some type of mental vision, I'm not sure. Okay, I'm confident this is a flashback now. Crispin Freeman! What are you doing behind the Door of Foreshadowing? A Quiet Place is just as stupid a concept as Bird Box and everyone who likes it should be ashamed of themselves. BLACK CLOVER - This synopsis feels like it's ripping off this week's My Hero, all the way down to including "Clash!" in the title. Never mind, looks like a four-man squad version of the Royal Knights Selection Test, crystal and everything. Rill partook the last time a battle like this happened, so that's why he's sitting out. Dude's so lame he needs a teleprompter to give a speech. Magna and Sol both waving flags for their squads is further proof that they're meant for each other. Even Hage Village has a front-row seat to the action! And this guy has it bad for aged-up Charmy. Face it, you'll never be popular. 😲 Whoo boy, I do love me some good ol' fashioned Black Clover sakuga. And then they got divebombed. These guys are like cousins-in-law, right? I know Noelle and Mimosa are regular cousins and they're all a part of the same family tree, so... Ah, so he was conscious during his possession. Sekke is back, now the episode is funny again. Don't you mean, "ha-hottie"? You think a girl like this would be Yami's type? Trees, trees everywhere. Don't mess with Ferngully magic. **BLIP!** Oh shit, surprise eyecatcher! If only Mimosa was here to smack this fruit upside the head. Poor Yami, he's the only one in this show who knows anything about Japan. Oh boy, Yami vs. Yami. 🤣 Southern Yami is cracking me up something fierce. It'd be better if it was meltproof, but self-repairing is just as good. At least, until he unleashes his ultimate attack. STOMACH PUNCH. "Nothin' can kill Southern Yami!" Or all these other Yamis, from the looks of it. At this point, it's anyone's guess who'll win. ENDLESS E-JACK-ULATION. That one Yami has a pipe. That ultimate move is still sick as hell. An accidental and coincidental draw; the best kind of draw there is. Her jealousy senses are tingling! Random split-second Charmy. Double shit, surprise Clover Clips! Part of me wants to recommend this one to Angel because of double the Yami with none of the constipation jokes, but that would mean she'd have to put up with the other, less likeable characters, on top of having to view it on her own time. And a preview, too! SHIPPUDEN - I forgot about half of what happened on Naruto's side of things last week, but I don't expect any of you to fill me in, so don't bother. What could have been... In Naruto's case, it was synonymous with graffiting their monument. CHAKRABLOCKED. "You will not touch the statue or my mask!" Oh god, here come the bloody tears. Neat, he's making a Tailed Beast Bomb like he did the Rasengan way back when. (I wouldn't be surprised if he had done that before, this show is so frickin' long.) Nice dildos, Guy. Dildo nunchucks, what a cool yet slightly suggestive ability. Black hole jutsu... denied. Tobi's secret is that he's in his phasing mode all the time. Neat, the mask managed to crack. And it was enough to break his concentration, too! "Wait, where did my kunai go?" Bad news, Bee, we're gonna have to cut your Tailed Beast's hand off. I have a feeling Kakashi's managed to figure something out. "There's something I wanna text. Please lend me a cell phone." Well this is obnoxious, no wonder Netflix shitcanned it, and no wonder [as] hasn't fought for shared broadcast rights of season 1. I do love watching these characters coordinate attacks with one another. THE RASENGAN VIRUS IS ALREADY INSIDE YOU. Needless logic: only one ability per person, used in a multitude of ways to make you think it's two or more attacks. That is very interesting and intriguing, so much so that I don't care if it's bullshit. "Welp, got no use for this sleeve now." Kakashi Hatake, that is very scientific. As he suspected, it's Obito's eye. This guy acts like he's living in the Berserk universe. BASTARD COUNT: 1. Kurama's mad. What a cool guy, that fox.

I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job. 3

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 7

That was an America-only OP. Only played the first 52 episodes in place of ROCKS and Haruka Kanata. In place of Kanashimi wa Yasashisa ni, they played Haruka Kanata set to a montage of show/OP clips. From Go! on, the practice was outta style and the OPs played regularly from that point on.

I gave it some thought, and ultimately, I can live with these rules. I don't really post porn that much if at all, and definitely not for the sake of it. I can deal with a "no hentai" rule, even if I think the ruling is a little far. I just don't want to be banned for linking to a site with hentai on it when my intention is to draw attention to something else, even with a warning. Reminds me too much of my third ASMB permaban.
