PokeNirvash

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.

THIS JUST IN: Turns out reruns at the front of the block are terrible for ratings (no shit), so tonight will be the last night (for now) that Super headlines the block. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #116 - Signs of a Turnabout!

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.

Wild 7 Another 11

I was speaking in generalities, not at you specifically. You really need to get better at that, Mr. "Unironically Has No Idea What a Jimmy Olsen Even Is".

Lois is the tomboy I mentioned, and Jimmy is the black guy. You can tell it's him because he was originally a redhead in the source material.

Point is, we need to be different from the other sites like Tumblr and eBay, and just ban loli and shota instead of taking the rest of the porn down with it. Oh, and not ban links to sites with lewd content. Panic was overexaggerating with that "law", even if he was in his mind absolutely serious.

I don't really care about either of these 'cause I'm not a comic book nerd, but tomboy Lois is cute.

Just a minute or two ago, I heard the beginning of this song coming from my sister's bedroom. It's official: she's an SAO watcher.

Motorcity 2 And that's 5 for 5 for the Kunoichi 13 direction analysis. All I have to worry about now is fitting everything into the designated runtime.

Magic Knight Rayearth 4

"I'm Kentaro Miura, and this is Berserk." [puts grasses on]

You say that like his fate wasn't left vague on purpose. Him being carted off to a side room instead of taking a flower straight to the heart like with Conny and Krone was a clear sign that he wasn't going to die as was thought, at least not immediately. That's what the "bad effect" is.

Huh, normally I'm only first to comment on Angel's B-Day weekend. No matter. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Normally it takes about half a commercial before the show actually starts on the DVR recording. "This ceiling is mocking me." Well at least Dabi's sudden appearance makes sense now. FUCK YEAH MIRKO TIME. It may have only been a minute of screentime, but that's good enough for me right now. Goddammit I was hoping they'd leave squiggly Midnight out of the Toonami OP cut. Hawks may be a double agent, but even he has standards. Not sure if secretly evil or just so happening to work with villains. Oh good, he's just a triple agent. What an edgy name for a Quirk. Speaking of edgy, Dabi might wanna get that bleeding stitch line checked out. The giant facial scar look honestly works for Endeavor. Hawks always thinks ahead. That's our Endeavor, murderously angry when the situation doesn't call for it. That accident sounds like the reverse of that one I heard about where a limo with eighteen people rolled over and everyone died. That line isn't gonna sound dated in two weeks or anything. >_> Oh yeah, I forgot all about Class 1-A being confined to campus. "Now you know my pain." BASTARD COUNT: 1. This dude makes the absolute most sense, and yet he still comes off like the kind of person who thinks redemption arcs don't exist in real life. I actually kinda miss the days when Todd was in everything. At least Todoroki acknowledges the existence of Endeavor's redemption arc, but only if he sticks with it. That's a good sign, I guess. What a rare sight, Mineta not acting like a pervert. Oh hey, it's All Might's mentor. I would've liked her better if she was visually introduced before All for One gloated about killing her, and if that forced smile wasn't repeated as often as it was. "I recognize that voice! John Swasey!" Derick Snow's voice is also amazingly recognizable. Metas? As in, Metatronda? The scariest thing is, AfO has a point. I'm thinking "Meta" was what they called Quirks before that proper noun came into being. I wonder if that comic book hero looks like All Might on purpose. Even OfA thinks Deku's moving too slow with his power progression. As I thought, it was Stephen Fu mimicking Derick Snow's voice. Fuck off down a sewer and die from sepsis, Monoma. Ohh, so that's why MHA came so early on my recording; surprise music video segment. I do love me some Aesop Rock, even though I've only ever really listened to "None Shall Pass". DR. STONE - Normally I enjoy the different fonts they use for these remote recording advisories, but am I the only one who thinks Dr. Stone's is lazy for using Arial instead of something a little more unique? That's the snake boy I was referring to in the schedule post. Gen's freeze-frame expression looks so cheerful compared to most of the rest. THAT'S AD-BAY. And now you know the rest of the story. Such sarcasm. He could knock a grown man's head off with a single punch. Senku rules, Tsukasa drools, that's those kids' motto. We makin' astronaut ice cream this season, bitches. I feel like an OP should've gone here. So really, you're making combat rations. I love these little character infographics they come up with for these various projects. When you flex so hard your clothes explode right off your body. Nice igloo, guys. You could kill a man with those icicles. Educational and informational; it's not just for Y7 drivel anymore! That's one way to make the power of teamwork look not-lame. Just add water, and presto! RAMEN PARTY. Ohh, so the space ramen was actually an Ishigami family original creation. Sexy Taiju and Yuzuriha. As for what she's like, you'd have to ask Taiju. Music's a powerful thing, but not powerful enough to stop a war against a bunch of insane Zoomers. Everyone's favorite snake boy, indeed. Are you suggesting a suicide pact, because it sounds like you're suggesting a suicide pact. "Lucky for you, I'm an atheist!" Oh Chrome, you eavesdropper. Obviously C, he's this universe's Dandy, with all the charisma that comes with such a status. Gen's lady voice puts most abridgers' to shame. This plan is so evil it just has to work. NO ONE EXPECTS FLOOR CHROME. I ain't Southern in the slightest, but I do like using the word "y'all". Filling the plot holes comes later, as it should. I can't wait to see Chrome meet Taiju and Yuzuriha, if that's what this is leading to. These cast credits aren't lined up right. That's some beyond-20/20 vision you got there, Kohaku. Hee, the rabbit's peeking out with them. And awayyyyyy we go. How cruel of TMS to stick the full opening theme at the end of the episode, and how equally cruel of Toonami to have that portion run over the DVR limits. It's at times like this that I can only blame Demarco because it's the simplest thing to do. (But seriously, this first full listen to the OP sucked so hard I rewatched it online for a more contiguous experience. They even left out the fucking show title, those bastards!) Still, I've missed this show and I'm glad to have it back on the block. FOOD WARS - Kojiro's a cool guy, for someone who expelled a student for using the wrong conditioner. Thick thighs save lives, but these are deer thighs and no one's life's at stake, so really I only said that just for the sake of it. "Got a little secret up your sleeve, Soma?" "I called it 'that', didn't I?" Even Erina thinks Soma pulled a smart move, and she normally doesn't admit anything of his to be good! Look on the upside, it's something to use in his next food battle. He took out the portable grill, shit just got real. I don't need no exposition to know it's a good match for wild game. TASTE THE MEAT AND THE HEAT. And I see he's learned something about making easily attributable dishes after the Fall Selection tie-breaker. Get it, because it's French. Well you guys were visible half the time, he was bound to notice you eventually. As I thought, they're the judges. The only upside is that they'd basically be destroying only Japan's food economy. Tonight's theme is clothes bursting off for the sake of delicious food. And here's some male pelvis bone fanservice, for the ladies and gay men. I'm pleasantly surprised by how creative these ingredient match-ups continue to be, even as we're at the point the series should be on the verge of derailing. Her most flattering comment yet, but not quite positive, as to be expected from Erina at this stage in the game. Fuck yeah, berry sauce. What a surprisingly wholesome foodgasm! Holy shit I could actually have this dish. Even Soma admits that he's been beat, not a good sign in the slightest. Ohh, she almost chose Soma. I'm torn whether to view this "draw" as cheap or a relief, but I do agree that Soma in Central would be bad news for Central. As a contrarian, I feel more of an urge to ship Soma with Hisako than I do either Megumi or Erina. The goal is distant, but what that means is that it's within perceptible reach, at least from my perspective. Huh, so they managed to fit Megumi and Meat-Meat's battles against the Central ringers into the season after all. And Greg Ayres won too, but what good is that win if we didn't even get to see it? Hayama has been rather sparse lately; maybe he went back to India? SURPRISE, IT'S FOOD FASCIST DANDY. Because if there's two things he's not, it's fun and pleasant. What a lame dude, taking his wife's name instead of keeping his own. (Am I allowed to say that sorta thing now?) He may be in charge of the entire school, but in Kyokusei, what the dorm mother says goes. This guy's easily the most blindly overconfident main villain on the block since Naraku. I had a feeling Soma's dad would be his role model. And now Erina knows. Also, 10/10 implementation of the ED intro. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TOP BILLING THREE: Soma, Erina, Hisako. SURPRISE FULL ENDING THEME FUCK YEAH. "It's nothing more than- [DVR SAYS NO]" I feel like I missed something important during the five seconds between recordings. Luckily the show's generous enough to fill in the blanks for us with its shounen-class repetition. PROMISED NEVERLAND - Oh hey, Norman's in the OP now. You saw him get shipped out, but you didn't see what happened after he went past the gate. Sometimes I forget they're supposed to be missing an ear. "So... you gonna introduce us to your friends?" I feel that this was expounded on in greater detail in the manga, but I don't hate the approach they're taking with it here. He had it easy compared to the rest. Like I said, read the manga. Don thinks he get it, but he don't. And that level of planning is why he was shipped out first. Soundin' awful Zeke there, Norman. Ray casts doubt. Trading out one set of amenities for another, that's the nomad way. That thing looks like an eye. When it comes down to it, her feelings on the matter are mixed. Shoulda cut to commercial there, programming monkeys. It was then that she realized the promise actually made a lot of sense. "We can't let Norman know we befriended a demon, let alone two." Dammit Ray. Her problem is she lets herself be controlled by her emotions too much. They do come off as anomalies, come to think of it. "GET IN MAH BELLEH" is their way of life. Ding dong, Avon calling. I like that one girl's hair, as little sense as it makes. Jalen K. Cassell's voice is also a recent one that's surprisingly recognizable. You can tell he's smart 'cause of the stitches on his head. A lot can change after a year of human experimentation. He's frosty and bossy. Frossy. Barbara's giant meat leg she's eating on reminds me of one of those big-ass turkey legs I regret not getting when my dad and I went to see Red Fang at Rock on the Range in 2017. (The food from the local German restaurant's food truck I got instead was really good though, so it balances out.) BASTARD COUNT: 1. Demon: tastes like chicken, if it was on the Broodwich. Ooh, forget the bastard count, we're really leaning into coarse language if we've got goddamns in the mix. (Remember when [as] used to bleep that word?) ...I'm conflicted and scaroused. That there is the difference between regular activists and radical activists. Much better to reason with the former than the latter. I knew he'd have a problem with them bringing up Mujika and Sonju. Oh shit he knows them. And apparently tried to take Mujika's life at some point. Thank you, shorter-than-normal noitaminA runtimes for putting the DVR fuckery to bed. BLACK CLOVER - And now we're back to the usual avant title. Aw fuck it's a worst girl episode. But hey, if it's about her making an attempt to become more tolerable, I guess I'll watch it for reasons besides being a completionist. That squiggly mouth is still stupid tho. True strength comes from being yourself, and yes I'm aware that sounds corny as hell. Finally, Noelle can flaunt her royalty beyond the usual reminder of her status. Glasses Noelle a cute. I appreciate you trying to help, Gordon, but maybe dial back the wide grinning a bit. If only those baby steps weren't so goddamn horrifying. Yeah, voodoo dolls tend to do that. Starting simple: literally! It's lines like that that would make you the best couple if he didn't have the nun fetish. Gauche, I know you're uncomfortably close to your sister and all, but even you must know there's a limit to being a siscon. It's a good thing Angel's skipping this 'til they start adapting the manga again, because this scene would make her wanna die more than any one of Gauche's other scenes. THERE'S NOWHERE FOR YOU TO DODGE NOW. A wild butterfly has entered the arena! And apparently hypnotized her into following Gauche's every word. I wonder if whoever wrote this episode had a doujin in mind when they came up with it... TURTLE POWER. Thank you, random butterfly. Why the hell am I laughing at this, I watched too many episodes didn't I. Some progress has been made, and that's what really matters. We get it, you hate Andrew Jackson. Meanwhile, Char's embracing her inner Kunoichi with training of her own (and while I'm writing up the first episodes of season 2, too!). That big one's just exhausted from having to do exercise in general. The last words he said to her: "no fat chicks". Oh Sol, if only you knew the joys of being given the D. (Then again, it's possible that's what turned you lez in the first place.) Of all the things heterosexual you could have called gross, nightly phone calls are some of the least sensible. Chibi Yami sounds like a South Park character. That wedding picture could be a template for something. Come to think of it, I don't think Jam's drawn any Black Clover characters yet. A combined attack of a different kind, maybe. That's one way to get her in Yami's pants, I guess. Don't mind me, just an interrupting telephone call with no relation to the plot. Stupid sexy Yami. OR IS IT? I have a feeling Vangeance is gonna win this battle royale. SHIPPUDEN - Yeah, Kabuto ain't the man he used to be, and not just 'cause he's half-snake now. Unfortunately, she's gonna gain a lot of weight in the next ten to fifteen years, but hey, I won't judge. (She was actually kind of cute in her chubby Boruto form.) The birds love Jugo. It wasn't stopped 100%, but for the most part it has. I mean, he came back to life temporarily during the final battle with Itachi, so I wouldn't put it past him to return a third time. The All-Knowing what, Sasuke, the All-Knowing what!? Orochimaru just wanted infinite knowledge, destroying the Leaf just so happened to factor into that goal at the time he decided to do it. Oof, he's gonna feel that once he's out of that genjutsu. Oh yeah, I remember that scene from season 1. HE BACK. And he's on the neutral side! Well, generally speaking. "Great, he still sounds like a total pedo." Still don't know who or what these All-Knowing Something-or-Others are, so a little exposition on that would be real nice right about now. At this point, Sasuke just wants to know the truth. And now Kabuto's back to normal, hooray I guess. This new FOX animated series about annoying and weirdly sexual talking pets looks like shit, but then again so do most recent FOX animated series. Meanwhile, the Gedo Statue still looks off with all its eyes open. So Sasuke did succeed that time, but only by meeting the bare minimum. I'm not surprised Kurama knows about the Ten-Tails, since it's supposedly a Tailed Beast also. "Those bastards ate my stomach lining!" This dude sounds like he knows Kakashi awfully well. Heh, sick burn on Guy. 😏 Oof, that does sound world-ending. This plot sounds an awful lot like Instrumentality, but you know what they say about everything being an Eva ripoff. And somehow this episode got away without a dialogue subrating? I just realized the Gedo Statue looks like a whiny child who doesn't want to listen to their parents to the extreme.

And now I'm just gonna sit here and pretend not to care (which is easy because I really don't care).

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 6

I remember Ranlsa taking a clearly sarcastic "we hate anime" bump seriously on the old ASMB, telling them "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" twice like she had no idea she was being redundant or something. Oh, if only we knew how terrible she could get back then...
