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).

Musashi Gundoh 1 (test-watch) Don't go asking me why I put myself through this. [TV-PGV]

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...

I'm just gonna sit here and quietly hope they decide not to do it.

Okay, so the "hentai is allowed" rule has been revoked then. Not that I posted actual porn like some people **coughmochicough** but that sucks. Why not just put up a "no loli/shota" rule and leave the consenting adults' buttholes alone?

As are my Jam-Orbital bondage pics (icon related until... June, I guess?).

My comment about this being vaporware earlier today is now become instantly dated.

At least it isn't pushing the diversity of its creative team as a selling point like High Guardian Spice did, making it less likely to end up as vaporware.

Basquash! 2

I had faith this would happen, and I'm so glad to be proven right.

'Cause I made some out of an anime they would never have aired even when it was new, ADV's obsession with keeping things exclusive to their own linear network aside.

Oof, those numbers are "Food Wars Premiere Night" bad. On the bright side, once again, it can only go up from here.

Ehh, that theory seems kinda silly. When there were talks of rebooting Jonny Quest in '08, they didn't cancel VB then, they just changed all the names of the JQ characters they had active in the show. I'm sticking with the theory they canned it to save money, and plan on bringing it back - if only for a single finale special - via HBO Max once it's financially feasible for them.

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.
