Perhaps. Liking the facial hair on Joe. Him using Gear again, not so much.

Alice in Borderland (J-Drama) 2

It's [as] programming, they'll never learn.

Considering it's rock bottom, a drill seems more appropriate. ATTACK ON TITAN - And here I thought it'd be impossible to feel for Reiner after the whole him being one of the villains of the past two and a half seasons thing. While I'm sure Yuuki Kaji changed his voice up some for the injured soldier, Bryce's voice is just too recognizable to not peg him as Eren in disguise. SAO ALICIZATION - Leave it to Kayaba to make a Deus Ex Machina AI of himself for dire moments such as this. I wouldn't call his actions here a redemption arc - when you've got over 4,000 dead bodies on your hands, full redemption's pretty much an impossibility - but considering he wasn't rapey like Sugo, creep-murdery like Kyoji, or that special brand of direct child-murdering evil like Gabe, I'm okay with it. But really, I don't know what little thing about this episode I like more: Kikuoka's unspoken fear of heights, or Vassago disintegrating between when Critter found his body and when the rest of the Americans went to retrieve it. FIRE FORCE - Damn, Ogun's awesome. Even channeled Star Platinum there for a second, despite being more of an Avdol. ASS CLASS - I have a feeling who unleashed COVID-15 (after the show's premiere year) on half of E-Class, but even if I'm wrong, I hope someone stabs him in the dick and both testicles. GRIDMAN - Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the first time we've seen a cute anime girl's feet up-close on Toonami. 😳 Murder-waifuism aside, Samurai Calibur is easily the Dandiest Ian Sinclair character we've seen on the block since the original. I look forward to seeing more of Samurai Sword Dandy and his yet-to-be-introduced posse in the future. SHIPPUDEN - Hmm. Wake me up when something worth commenting on happens.

...Huh. Makes sense I wouldn't know about this, I'd only seen the Fox Box for all of two weeks before it became 4KidsTV, and even then it was well after 2002 when I did.

Welp, time for another week of answering questions that have likely already been answered and telling my fellow UEMBers that they're stupid for acting like parodies of themselves. Or not. Mochi and Elfie have suffered enough of my complaints, it's best not to dogpile right now. My thoughts exactly. Being produced by former GAINAX staff helps. Her name is Hass and she's my favorite, even though I know next to nothing about her. That hair is clearly blue, my man. Fuck you, I'm goin' for both just because you said that stupid shit. [huh, whaddaya know, guess I really can't help myself] I remember that one phase in my life where I put lettuce on my hot dogs. I think it was in 2012 either during or after my pre-AO rewatch of Eureka seveN, precisely because the hot dogs they had in one episode had lettuce on them as well. Must be a Japanese thing, like green tea-flavored sweets or pancakes as thick as Rikka's thighs. Dude, you're thinking of Ultimate Muscle. Ultraman had a dub, but that one was done back in the '70s/'80s before 4Kids was even a thing for you to have literally all of the misconceptions about. You dare disrespect the mighty Tim Curry!? And that was after Anno and Tsurumaki left with several others to form Khara. But at least then, we had Imaishi, Yoshinari, Amemiya and the others to tide us over until they brought Trigger into being.

Alice in Borderland (J-Drama) 1 Well that was terrifying. I'm in.

See, now's the point where the whole "two years' worth" nonsense would actually make sense. As much as things in SAO can make sense, anyways. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #99 - Show Them!

More Yakuza 0 updates. Lost my money to my first real Mr. Shakedown, built it back up by fighting randos, and came across more sidequests. Completed one of them, the Yokomichi Silvers one, earlier today. I'm glad my visual novel-style decisions worked out, even if it faltered near the middle with Sleazy Tarashi's answer for what he did with his mates. I like to believe the delinquent crowd Kiryu helped them satisfy concluded the pancakes he made were super-badass (like, hot sauce for syrup) and their lunches at fancy cafes were akin to customer takeovers.

Kanon 2006 3

The Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited 8

As to be expected of the progenitor of isekai LNs in their current form as we know them.

Does Captain Phillips count as a pirate movie, or is it too true to life to properly count?

ATTACK ON TITAN - I can't believe it took me this long to realize Gabi and Reiner were related. I mean, they have the same last name, I should've seen this coming before now! Still, this show makes a convincing argument both for and against the "good" Eldians, at the same time impressively enough. There's just something darkly humorous about Reiner telling the potato story in a way that paints Sasha as anything but the well-meaning dumbass she is. SAO ALICIZATION - Kirito's last-second power-up was so hokey and ridiculous, but after the movie OC cameos, I'm willing to take whatever SAO throws at me now. Still, glad Gabriel got beaten with only three episodes to spare, and here's to hoping Kirito and Asuna's couple of centuries stuck in Underworld don't go to any ridiculous amounts of waste. (If 200 years' worth of semen don't make a glopping noise at the end of this, I'm going to be massively disappointed.) FIRE FORCE - When I saw all those numbers and Science Dandy mentioned "random sequences", I considered it being the digits of pi, but wrote it off as too generic. Yet here goes Fire Force, being as predictable as I thought it'd be, and I love this show for it. Also, random thought: Tamaki hasn't fallen victim to the Lucky Lecher Lure once since the China arc started, does this mean it only takes effect whenever she's on Japanese soil? ASS CLASS - The best parts about this episode were, in order: the lack of any main campus dorks, Kunudon dropping an F-bomb over E Class going to Okinawa, Hellabitch's outfits, Koro-sensei looking like the whitest man in Argentina after spending all day in the sun, and his distaste for S&M mags (shit taste, my friendo). Lovro's return is also welcome, as are the hints towards a potential future appearance by "the Reaper". GRIDMAN - I've been oddly averse to watching Trigger stuff after I put NIBAI MUGENDAI (hypothetically produced by the studio) on indefinite hold in favor of Kinky Kunoichi (hypothetically produced by the Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover guys), so this is my first time actually watching something from the studio post-Toonami's KLK run. And I gotta say, I dig this. The fact that I saw the first season of the original Ultraman and the Netflix CG adaptation also helps. I plan on rewatching the first episode later this week, and eagerly await to see all the random spoilers I came across (at least, those that I remember) finally put into context. SHIPPUDEN - "Hey, remember the last filler arc this series had before Pierrot had the bright idea to pad out time in-between the canon with flashback episodes? Well, sorry for reminding you of it again, but it was necessary."

I love that the Broke the Rating Scale scores are back; a very appropriate memoriam to Zac, if I say so. As for Redo of Healer, I expect them to keep scores regular, but I won't be surprised if they pull an EX-ARM with it too. I'll laugh if Lynzee makes this her only preview write-up just to shame everyone out of watching it (and fail).
