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! Meanwhile, someone is going to die brutally on the season finale of Fire Force, at least I assume so with a rating like that. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #114 - Bloodcurdling!

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.

Pacific Rim: The Black 6 I couldn't become a hero, so I reluctantly decided to get a job. 1 Who'd have thought an ecchi about retail culture would be the most relatable show I've seen since graduating high school?

The Qwaser of Stigmata 11

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

Basquash! 1

Those tempered expectations will probably help in the long run.

These interviews always manage to restore my faith in Demarco.

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro 3

Sometimes you just wanna watch a show where jerks get what's coming to them immediately, and that fucking asshole janitor from the first minute proves my point beautifully. Fuck him.
