PokeNirvash

No a, no exclamation point.

Probably 'cause FUNimation's website sucks. I've only ever used it to watch Initial D Third Stage and that's it.

Thoughts didn't come on Sunday because I worked a really long shift that day. Still, they're here now, and that's what matters. MY HERO ACADEMIA - How nice of them to recap last season's finale for those of us who forgot all the specifics beyond "Endeavor almost fucking died but still emerged the victor". Dang, what happened to your voice, Eraser? Suck it, Bakugo. JAPANESE FIRE DRILL TIME. He said "hypothetical" villains, that's proof this is only a test. I still love Midnight but I'm not too sure about keeping her as my waifu right now. Neat, the episode titles have an official seal of approval now. Also known as, "Team Scares Small Children". (Hey, Jiro's earlobes are nightmare fuel to somebody.) Goddammit not another audio glitch. That second one made it look like Mineta got pummeled for almost nothing, so I'm not too mad about that one. I do like Bakugo calling those he looks down on "extras"; it's good to copy when ineffectual background characters act like dicks for no reason. I still think Todoroki should follow Deku's lead and make his hero name "Icy-Hot". Oh hi Mirio. "Another explosion!?" Must be Bakugo. I'm surprised they actually approved that overly long (and partially foreign) hero name. I had a feeling if Mirio was involved these two would be too, and I swear the show promo had nothing to do with it. 😏 No heroes, only starches. Major props to Oreos for not only putting out a gluten-free cookie, but making it technically dairy-free as well. It's amazing how recognizable Lindsay Seidel's voice has gotten after having Ass Class, Gridman, and Titan all on the block at once. Goddammit Mirio. Parasyte Dandy sounds throatier than usual, must have what Eraser's got. Hey, I recognize that face in the water! I'll confess, I forgot Hagakure was even there. He has a tail, that's his entire gimmick. Saving the best for last with Bakugo, I see... >_> Shit like this is why people hate you as a protagonist, Deku. Oh yeah, Kirishima's here too. And Kaminai also, I guess. KING EXPLOSION MURDER, GO! Goddammit Bakugo. The explosion's shaped like a skull, that boy knows not the meaning of subtlety. Who's the robot? Fun ending theme concept, crappy attempt at cleanly shortening it. Endeavor without his flames on is a weird sight. Go away, Dabi, nobody likes you. Especially not Endeavor. Hawks, on the other hand... ehhhhh? MOMENT OF ZEN: Yesterday, there was a customer at my place of work wearing a mask with All Might's grin as the design. I think I was the only one in the store who got the reference. Next week, All for One finally gets his backstory episode. FOOD WARS - Food Fascist Dandy's here, looks like the party's over. A flashback within a flashback, couldn't have put it past this show to pull something like that. We're never gonna get Megumi and Meat-Meat fighting those ringers from Central are we. Don't go kidding yourself, Erina, you care more about her than you think you do. I'm now convinced that Food Fascist Dandy is secretly a Zoldyck; he has the hair, eyes, and borderline mental illness for it. That was a strange and sudden case of mood whiplash. Soma and Takumi smugly smirking at one another while Megumi's shaking nervously behind them, I feel like that triple-reaction could be exploitable. I agree, she should really grow her spine back. I don't think anyone needed to see that. Count yourself lucky they're still allowing you to break dress code, Soma. Random Kojiro. Annoyed that he's complimenting you behind your back? When the faculty is so rebellious they have to bring in fellow students as substitute teachers. The remains of my college fund say that Soma steps up to assist this guy. Bullshit you weren't aware, he's the only one dressed differently than the rest! Wow, those two have some great chemistry between them, no homo. Random middle-aged people. NOW YA FUCKED UP. For what it's worth, your kayfabe is flawless, so I doubt anyone but your closest acquaintances know of your nervous condition. The answer is nope. Only now they think to fix the show from the inside. SHIMAPAN ALERT. Just bang already you two, you're in the right environment for it. Nothing involving Food Fascism Dandy is "perfectly natural". Oh Erina, you're much too tsundere for your own good. "Why are we hiding from them?" Natural instinct. Soma's even more insulted at his personal style being brushed off than the whole recruitment attempt. Leave it to Soma to walk his way into a Food War he wasn't even planning on proposing. At least the penalty isn't expulsion or giving up cooking forever like the last couple of Food Wars. I might have tried venison once in the form of a meat stick, but I can't say for sure. So does this mean those three are the judges (if they get caught)? Or as some might say, he's the Food Whisperer. It's not so much "goodbye" as it is "see you later". Foodgasms triggered by scent alone, amazing. He's gonna cook that chipmunk in back. When Soma's more focused on the greater plot than on his cooking, you know shit's getting serious. As long as he doesn't touch America, I'm fine, but hopefully things turn out different prefecture-side. I don't think anyone needed to see that again. TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Erina, Tsukasa. PROMISED NEVERLAND - This episode was the last one the series director worked on specifically, so expect everything to go downhill without hope of return after this week. Nothin' to eat in this town but bugs and pickled kid heads. Okay, so the masks are more a widespread cultural thing. Now that group is obviously disguised humans. The masks on those two guys are awfully colorful, I expect them to be important. Thank god for Minerva's books that their list of herbs makes locational sense. At least the moody music and visuals are making things at least interesting to watch still. Did that black girl's hairstyle change? And that one girl's hair's down, that seems new. "I could eat soup every day!" If the type of soup is changed up often, yeah. So who's the tall guy that was accompanying them again? You're never truly prepared for everything, there's curveballs all over the place. Second-Best Sasuke says don't be so damn emo. At least they're smart enough to know they'd blow their cover even if they tried not to. Wait, did Don's hair get longer? INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT. Way to spoil Snake Blum's return, promo monkeys, but then again, we expected this after Boruto confirmed his survival. An old traveler demon man with sight issues. I think you're the only one who uses this place for its intended purpose anymore, guy. How to converse in sign language without actually knowing sign language. I doubt we'll be seeing atmosphere of this level, so I'm just enjoying it the best I can. That encounter went better than we all expected. That's the one upside of demons, that can tolerate human foods just as much as they do human meat, unlike those edgy-on-purpose Ghouls. DEMON RIGHTS. That one kid demon looks like one of those frickin' microbe creatures. I wonder who that posse is... Snotfish are surprisingly cute-looking, for slimy land animals anyways. I told ya they'd screw up somehow. Y'all know you're Naruto running, right? I sorta get what's going on, but don't really have the capacity to put it into words right now. Welp, they're dead. Surprisingly easy to kill demons, it turns out. NORMAN LIVES! FIRE FORCE - Oh boy, I wonder who's going to die this week! /partial sarcasm. Best stock cold open narration is baaaaack, and it's more ironic than ever! "God, I'm sexy." Nice bulges, guys. Tamaki looks nice in a yukata; I do not expect it to stay on for long. At this point, the excess torture regimen is just hilarious. Yep, I think that's all of them. MAJIDE TIME. I don't know who this "Nakala" is, but he sounds terrifying. I like how his eyes have become the markings inside them when in hysterical strength mode. Arthur's all outta juice, that's a first for him. So what you're saying is, they should save the oxygen that's still in their muscles for later. On the other hand, ohhhhh so that's how tephrosis works. I swear, my utter disappointment with She Who Shall Not Be Named has really made me start to genuinely like Hibana now. The fact that she hasn't called anyone gravel lately really helps too. "I've seen enough ukiyo-e paintings to know where this is going..." All these survive-or-die experiences, and it's only now that Shinra's feeling the fatality of it all. Wait, did he always have that scar on his chest? Suddenly flashbacks. And 3D effect colors too. SURVIVE OR DIEEEEEEEEE. Kinda strange that they'd advertise the bonus battle at the end when they spend most of the film fighting Not!Vic on the train. This woman's nice-looking, but they really could've found a better voice actress for her. Oh, so that's where that scar on her hand came from. (Again. Repeated marathon viewings is the ideal consumption method for this show.) A stigma called masochism. Oh, so is Hague the one that's gonna die? I like this chick better than Orochi, and she doesn't even have a whip or an obviously sexy uniform. Yep, he's gonna die. Oh yeah, whistle guy was with the 4th too. And dead he is. (Really, I'm just glad Konro made it out okay. 🤜🌲) It's a little something we like to call "blue fire". BWAHHHHHHHHH. (I think that's how the sound goes.) And now they're dead, at least in spirit. He knew before anyone else, and that is the true power of Adolla. Also no masochist would go so far as to take their own life, as it means they'd miss out on future pains they haven't experienced yet. Oh, so he does redundancies that involve different words too. I don't think that's how you pronounce "devotee". Jesus tapdancing Christ is that what Yona really looks like!? You've missed so much this season, Sho. Aww nice, an advert for the second ending theme made it into the show. I love shameless self-promotions like this. Except the third because they suck and were basically just Giovanni running things solo. FUCK YEAH BEST OPENING THEME TIME. So does this mean Lisa's not gonna stab them in the back like she outright told them after all, because I better fucking hope it does. Meanwhile, Haumea's having the most intense orgasm of her life. HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE MOON FROM SOUL EATER!? REPLY TO ANGEL: "This better be hinting at Arthur and Excalibur teaming up." Or better yet, Arthur's sword becoming Excalibur. Definitely a step up from season 2, even Tamaki's Lecher Lure was more tolerable, season 3 when? 9.25/10. BLACK CLOVER - Okay, so we're still doing this cold open. I've come to accept that walking stick dude is just some rando. As I thought, they called her Nero all last arc in the hopes that people would forget they were pronouncing Secre wrong before now. Looks like a magical girl transformation wand, I wonder if they did that on purpose. As far as the anime's concerned, this filler arc definitely existed. But you know as they say, the more things change the more they stay the same. Careful, Yami, smack the boy's back too hard and you may end up unlocking his hysterical strength. I personally think she looks better in her casual garb than in her royal uniform. Ah crap, someone used a Death Note on her. Yes, this is still partially a Secre episode. Don't be a dick, Gaja. Ah yeah, that's the physical appearance I prefer. She could really lighten up on the klutzy movements tho. "Speaking of stomach issues, it's about time for my 4:00 meeting, if ya get what I'm sayin'." She can't see without her glasses! Especially when they're broken like they are now. Get your beaver teeth away from those lenses! And it's alive, didn't expect that to be a possibility. I do like how he's attempting to make an effort not to think with his dick so much. [slams the easy button] Whoops, it broke. Maximum charm points. IT ATE THE BONES. And then Asta was Tsurikichi Sanpei. That is a very mob face he's got on. Dangit Asta, don't touch the fur! Be lucky he just bit your hand and not something more sensitive. [we have come to terms] And in the end, it was all for nothing. Or maybe not, since she now has countless spares to choose from. Look on the bright side, an attempt was made. Leave it to Yami to be the best at what he does and thensome. "Is that all I am to you, just some living skeleton key?" She recognizes that diary! You do know that's the Devil Banisher side of the mask, right? What a surprisingly quaint and tolerable interaction. I don't know why this guy that speaks like Sal from Futurama wants to beat David Copperfield's ass, but I love it. SHIPPUDEN - Oh yeah that mummy guy's still on the run. No one cares about your masturbation habits, Deidara. "No fair, I didn't even get to do anything!" Itachi's redemption arc has finally started to pull through. Deidara: a troll 'til the very end. I do like how they recognized not having Tsunade see Dan one last time after so many other Reanimation reunions would feel cheap. And now it finally reaches the war room. "Which company managed to pull such a thing off?" The one that had nothing to do with your guys. And there he goes, the real coolest guy. He didn't even know Roshi's name. Does that count as a Bullhorn? I'm thinking that might count as a Bullhorn. You can't not love a last great act of defiance. I had a feeling the Toonami-Crunchyroll Alliance would pull through with this. Now to wait for them to secure the rights to Mob 2. Nevermind, looks like this is a regular act of defiance. "Wait, how'd I do that?" Is this arc the first time we've dwelled on Tsunade's relation to Dan without also dwelling on her relation to her brother? 'Cause I actually like it better this way. Clearly it's because he's OP as fuck. And also because Kabuto's a scrub that should've stuck to his precious Ninja Info Cards. A clan is Scottish in origin, a village is between 1,000 and 5,000 persons, a shinobi is just a fancy weeaboo word for ninja, and you are the worst Sasuke on the block. Nice of you to join us again, Suigetsu and Jugo. Your brother put a stop to it, you just stood by and watched. Madara, Madara, Madara. It's called that because he attacked the pinky toe. He copied Bee's catchphrase. OH SHIT NOT BE-wait that's a flashback. Now this... this is present day shit.

Hey, he's no worse at it than Lazzo, the man who said himself - on the ASMB, no less! - that promos didn't help draw viewers in and that's why they quit making so many for anime. At the time, I was satisfied enough with him confirming that he didn't hate all anime that I didn't even bother reading into that part.

It was bad, but Geass and Moribito premieres at 5AM was way, way dumber. So dumb that the licensors actually played their hand to get [as] to knock that shit off.

My Hero Academia: now with slightly less worry about getting trapped in a seemingly unending loop of out-of-place reruns!

Alice in Borderland (J-Drama) 5

Oh shit now I have to watch the movie.

Motorcity 1 Normally I steer clear of anything explicitly Disney, but seeing how this show looks like, feels like, and is a Titmouse production first and foremost, I'm willing to make an exception.

Magic Knight Rayearth 3

We already have a thread about this, there was literally no need to make another one.

You'd think that, but unlike Cannon Busters and Yasuke, Fena actually has a Japanese guy - animator and character designer Kazuto Nakazawa - helming the production, so I doubt it'll be as bad as LeSean's works. I am expecting it to be a tad too ridiculous to be taken 100% seriously, though. Nakazawa was one of the two guys behind B: The Beginning, after all.

All that matters is the ratings we don't see.

From memory, I got Black Widow, Free Guy, Wrath of Man, Ghostbusters Afterlife, Fast 9, A Quiet Place 2 (now with 100% less Jim Halpert!), and maybe one or two more I can't think of right now. Compare that to the Broly movie, where I got 5 trailers: Mirai, the second HxH movie, a third anime movie I can't remember right now, the last How to Train Your Dragon, and some indie time travel shenanigans movie from New Zealand.

For some people, maybe, but definitely not overall.

I, for one, am looking forward to everyone's new delicious brown rabbit waifu. ATTACK ON TITAN - Because Levi is crazy like that. Random luggage girl. OH MY GOD JC A TITAN. This is the weirdest unbirthing porn I've ever seen. I don't ever remember Shiganshina having a castle-like fortress, but then again it has been four years. This armband system seems awfully familiar. Marleyans are dicks, especially that asshole janitor and his stupid grandkids. As for Yelena, I don't know whether to like or hate her, just that I love hearing her speak. He can, but you'd all be vaporized in the process. We get it, Jean, you've still got the hots for her. SHIT COUNT: 1. Dammit Onyankopon, I thought you were cool! RIP THAT FUCKER'S FACE OFF NICOLO. 🤣 Dear god the laugh I let out when Yelena brained that guy was so loud and insane even I was caught off-guard by it. Thanks, Yelena, that asshole deserved it. Meanwhile, Gabi still sucks. "...to lure out any spies who've infiltrated the walls." And speak of Eldia, there's one of them now! Class 1-B sucks save for a select few, but good on Shinso for finally getting into that hero course like he always wanted. God Eren's become a badass, even at his most unlikeable I like this crazy son of a bastard. Pieck is also a strong contender for best girl that's new to this season. I love that ever since she killed Sasha, Gabi's just been suffering non-stop. Again, fuck Marley. It's peaceful in that you can die on your own terms instead of violently like all the deaths up to this point. Though Jean has a point with the whole "nothing but old geezers" thing. "Watch out for them Jaeger Brothers." Might wanna get a tissue there, Armin. Dang, Eren's really thought things through. He got bashed in the face with a bottle of hooch and the rest is history. Yes, Gabi, it is your fault. A pathological liar, just like my other uncle. Oh yeah, the fake beard. DEATH FROM BELOW. But the real question is, who exactly was it she was pointing at? MUH LEGS. In conclusion, Pieck's motivations are complicated. In the end, it's all about Reiner and how much he wants to fucking die. Sorry, no next season preview for you! FOOD WARS - I've missed Second-Worst Sasuke's smacktalk. Okay, so you pronounce it ki-NOH-kuni instead of kino-KOO-ni. But hey, at least they aren't bribing the judges like that fucker Eizan did. Who knew cooking devices could be so goddang complicated? Plus they look like rectangular prisms, which makes it extra pretentious. Educational and informational. Am I the only one that keeps hearing her pronounce the Rs in this dude's name as Vs? "It's like that constant heat of his gets transferred to the food that he's preparing." My thoughts exactly. SHINY SHINY. It's an amphibian that's often mistaken for a reptile, but that's not important right now. I don't need you to explain obvious cognates to me unless they're false ones like "embarazada" or "baito" (Spanish for "pregnant" and Japanese for "part-timer"). Leave it to the Japanese to make salmon of all things an ice cream flavor. So does that mean it's technically dairy-free? LOOK AT THIS TEENAGE GIRL'S STRIPED PANTIES DAMN YOU. Soma doesn't know what that word even is. Now for an oddly peaceful moment with Erina. CEILING ISSHIKI IS WATCHING YOU MASTURBATE. I do appreciate all the obscure food history this show manages to pull out of the archives. Fuck yeah, the wave motion gun. I had a feeling Megumi was a white panty girl. [sigh] Fucking tie games... And then it was the Magician's Secrets Exposed. Suck it, Runny. Though Kurokiba's metaphor works just as well. HE DID IT FOR YOU, POPEYE. The animators can't decide on how they want the old guy's face to look, it's actually kind of distracting. Surprise pockets of flavor are fucking great. That feel when Sasuke uses Naruto's catchphrase. This Indian dude acts like a true Frenchman. Who else heard "no better than Prozac"? TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Ryo, Old Judge Dude. PROMISED NEVERLAND - Turns out in the manga there was a dude in the shelter who holds Emma at gunpoint while ranting about how having friends will get you killed; not sure if that bodes better or worse for them than the "Help!" wall. "I can't come to the phone right now, so leave a message after a beep." It's not exactly an unprecedented reveal, but it's still nice to get all this context. I feel this message is mixed. Dammit, I was expecting him to spell "futile". I feel like your order of operations is more than a little ambitious. If only Norman were here... January 2047? Wasn't it 2046 last season ago? Silent montages set to music are way superior to silent recaps set to music. (Just another way in which Full Metal Panic! disappointed me.) PANCAKES. Don't be a vegan, Gilda. You mean you didn't notice all the land sea creatures crawling all over the place a couple episodes ago? Clearly this hunting issue could be solved with protective gloves. YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. This looks like a job for the idiot boys. And also Ray. When Food Wars are done to determine which dish is less likely to kill you. Maybe that too is a recorded message? Meanwhile, at the old Mansfield correctional facility that was used as the set for Shawshank... The unkempt long hair look works for Isabella. That one girl with the messy hair's voice does not match her look at all, I'm sorry. There goes Michael Bay again with his explosions... I was expecting demons, not a frickin' mini-SWAT team. Tiny-face Rossi, that's what I'm gonna call him. You should probably put that flower down if you know what's good for you, but then again you are a demon. HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT. Life is like a game of tag: you'll be 'it' eventually. If only someone was here to point a pistol at his head and fire without warning. And down the cliff he goes. Thanks, poorly CGI'd spider creature thing! Oof, right in the eye. I guess if you want children beaten, you have to do it yourself. The promise of unmodification and the secret bonus helps too, I guess. Wait, was this what the start of episode 1 was actually foreshadowing? FIRE FORCE - Most of what he said was crazy talk, but this was the important part. Personally, I think Konro being in contact with Adolla makes sense; he has that problem with his back, which if I remember right is reminiscent of the issues Joker and Burns have with their eyes. Before anyone asks, no, I wasn't referring to Hibana when I said "worst girl". Actually, I'm coming around to her stronger than ever now. The both of you make excellent points, but let's just see how this plays out. Again, this show could really benefit from a marathon-style rewatch. SAMURAI STYLE. As I thought~. By that logic, could Uncle Reaper's tephrosis also be the result of contacting Adolla? And that "old wives' tale" wound up the basis for this little show from '09 called Kurokami. Lotta good use of color this episode. Could be a matter of worthiness vs. unworthiness. Oh, Waka. In other words, GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRA! Was that a chess metaphor, or more like a shogi metaphor? And that's why this episode is called what it is. Ehhhh, those bumps don't look that delightful... You know that big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin'. It's more of a "fuck Orochi and her rotting corpse" story, when it comes down to it. OH FUCK NO I HATE THESE LITTLE GREMLINS. But is it regular tag, or Promised Neverland tag? YOU DON'T JUST CASUALLY SAY YOU'RE GONNA KILL SOMEONE WHEN YOU DON'T REALLY MEAN IT, THAT PISSES ME OFF. God these imps make me so mad. Not sure what kind of training this is but OK. Translation: "Where are you, Zenitsu?" Now way that was five seconds. >_> Neat, Tamaki backstory. I bet that girl goes Infernal in the next two minutes. Oh wow, that was less tragic than I was expecting it to be! MY STARS. I had a comment here but I wound up losing it. Cat vs. fox. Bitchy packs of teenage girls are the worst, even in a world that's mostly on fire. SLAP FIGHT. The ridiculousness of the Lecher Lure makes me tilt my head more than anything else. CATSENGAN. Say what you will about the Lure, but that is some prime wordplay, as to be expected from the masters at FUNimation Entertainment. "Oh my, how did I get up here?" Arthur: a king, a knight, a samurai, and now a Jesus allegory. BLACK CLOVER - Huh, different cold open this time. I bet these two would've fucked already if not for the one's husband. Even the show knows they're most definitely gay for each other. More like Breeding Mountain. The voice on that woman sounds way wrong. TUG OF WAR MAGIC. A bird and a salamander, technically. "That nice chubby guy that makes doors!" If that's what you wanna call him... So many pocketbook grimoires. Suddenly an ice dragon, and just as suddenly a commercial break. "I gotta find out who killed my son." Don't lose your way, Jason Statham! So how many people are gonna let themselves get eaten by the beast like they're Heaven's Gaters? Magic: it saves lives. And so does breaking a giant rock with your forehead, if you're as crazy as Asta. Between this and Qwaser, what is it with anime calling characters silver and then giving them power over mercury? This battle makes it feel like the whole filler arc was a just decently structured excuse to have Yami, Fuego and Nozel triple-team a kaiju made of ice. "Talk? But that's what that magicless boy wanted us to do!" Open sesame~! Honorable Judge Stick-in-the-Mud. So that's how you pronounce "assuage". A commoner and a commoner with no magic. It was more a case of ignorance than of apathy, yet they still remain the biggest problems with today's youth. "Was this guy in a forest fire or something?" It's good to have a little faith every once in a while. And that just leaves the lesbians and their cohorts. Nope, no allahu ackbaring for you. Dumbnutsio's still a douche, but I too am surprised he sentenced them to "death by exile" as opposed to just "death". As long as it means their destination's anywhere but here, I see no reason for him to relent. If only everyone of your lowly state had Asta's infinite resolve. "It won't be us, but it'll be close enough." NOW KISS. Neat, in-episode ending credits. And in the end, she was right, at least about the husband. Because it no longer involves our protags, we'll just let them do whatever they want, consequences be damned. SHIPPUDEN - Right, I keep forgetting about the big Madara fight. Maybe she's getting sloppy because she just got impaled twice, ever think about that? I'll be honest, I like Onoki the most out of the Five Kage, even taking Gaara's Heel Face Turn into consideration. I also really love watching all these combination jutsus in action. Can't beat Madara hax, no sir. Okay, now it's a true Susanoo. "Take that, topography!" That's enough action and hopelessness, now back to the cave with the Uchiha Bros. and Snake Boy Jr. You say that you hate it, but it doesn't really feel that way, you get what I'm saying? Poor Kimimaro didn't even get to do anything worth insight on, even in the filler episodes. Their bodies lit up the landscape like a bunch of cars with their high-beams on, and I don't mean that as a metaphor. He's gonna do the forehead thing again isn't he. Never mind, guess he's just gonna do that instead. Finally, we get to experience Shisui. Eyeballs in Naruto work differently from eyeballs in real life, I've come to accept that for some time. Ironically, the Third wasn't for the idea of wiping out the entire clan from the onset, like what the others made it sound like. As I thought, everything was Danzo's fault. Tobi's mask looks better with the tiger pattern than that weird spiral texture. Also as I thought, killing their parents was just as painful for Itachi as it was for Sasuke. My only memory of the entire massacre the first time it was shown on Toonami was my surprise at knowing Sasuke's house had a CRT TV; just thought I'd remind y'all of that. Oh, so he didn't do the forehead thing after all. Just a... different forehead thing.

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 4 When it comes to bullies in fictional media, the ones I hate the most are the toady types who go "yeah!", "that's right!" or the like whenever the head honcho, if you will, says anything towards their victims. And that is the reason, in one sentence, why I consider Yosshii worst girl.

Time for yet another reminder who the worst girl (who isn't a total psychopath) in Fire Force really is. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #113 - With Great Joy!

It's anime that's available on TV so I can record it without having to go out of my way to make that happen (read: contributing to the family cable bill), it took up the reins of the dying ACTN block which I was still watching Bleach premieres on so it was a natural step forward, and even though I didn't watch it as extensively as the rest of you probably did (at least, not until Naruto fever took off), it's nice to have the block back after such a sudden and unceremonious cancellation. Oh, and I guess the community discussion is nice too, when people aren't dogpiling on a single show like it's the cool thing to do.

Programming acting like morons, I'm sure. Really, I'm thankful that was rectified by the time season 4 showed up.
