I got the impression he was more into Iris, and with Hibana it's more respect than affection.

Wild 7 Another 2

I can't believe it, MSNBC actually cracked the Top 50 for once.

One could say that Bebop was the reason [as] was created to begin with. From what I've read, Sean Akins wanted to air it on television, but couldn't air it on Toonami or even Midnight Run without running the risk of it being hacked to pieces, and Williams Street happened to be making some more adult-oriented programs in the vein of SGC2C, and so [as] was born.

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle: Rhyme Anima 6

The laughably terrible CG animation is bad enough, but that damn Disney original movie rock song playing in the background is what really makes this trailer a true disasterpiece.

Yeah, this seems to be more of its own weird thing than a concrete parody, but the prequel, Gemusetto Machu Picchu, is definitely an anime parody, or at least meant to be one.

Oh Mochi, you and your yaoi fanart trove. Because anime nuns are sexy as shit, obviously. 😘 I thought so, then he wore a robotic donkey head as a codpiece, and after that it started to grow on me. It was extremely subtle compared to the rest. The fact that Hinawa himself didn't acknowledge it actively helped, even if it did draw more attention that way. Ephebophile, actually. Pedos are into kids that aren't teenage, ephebos are into teenagers. Also, Japan has different age of consent laws than the U.S. (which has probably been burned to hell anyways like the rest of the world in the Fire Force-verse), so she can get away with it. Considering the age gap between her and Iris in their flashback, I'm not surprised. Not like I was with Hellabitch being 20, though...

You can never have enough Emergency Vodka™. This is where I finally watched the portion of my portion of my recording of this year's April Fools' stunt teasing Gemusetto: Death Beat(s). It was surprisingly representative of how season 2 had been advertised thus far, which I was not expecting, actually. So I'll save my thoughts on it for the actual uninterrupted-by-Post Malone broadcast later on. SAO ALICIZATION - Just how we left last season without any context, we enter the new season the same way. I'm probably gonna forget the portions of this OP that'll be cut for the shortened version, just like with last season. "If we beat them, maybe whoever's behind this will think twice about sending more." Maybe, us Americans don't take loss particularly well. RULE OF SAO #2: When Kirito isn't onscreen, everyone should be asking, "Where's Kirito?" I assume that's another local deity they worship. Yeah, Kirito's lawlharem truly knows no rational limits. EMOTIONAL MEMORIES. If you've ever seen DBZ, then you know that ruins are always safe. No, she jumps good. Curse you for making me remember that literal pig girl, show. [shakes fist] Though I will admit, extremely sucky first impressions are certainly common in the Dark Territory, between Pugilist Boy and Pig Guy over here. Oh no, this is how rape doujins start. And now we're all left wondering how this anthropomorphic hog man could possibly be mistaken for a homo sapiens. Human in all forms but genetic. She wants to fuck her brother-cousin, of course she's weird. Well maybe the humans in your world loathe you because you look different. AW FUCK IT'S THIS BITCH. I was honestly wondering what happened to her, she used human shields to block a finishing move last season and hasn't been seen since... until now. Oh hey, she hasn't been sexually assaulted before. And already it's gotten more murdery than rapey. Kill her, pig boy. Seriously, I hate having to look at her stupid edgy face and stupid just stupid dances. And don't even try to win me over with femdom stuff, if it didn't work with Hibana one episode in, it sure as hell won't work with you nine episodes in. Let your eye explode, it'll be worth it to cut this whole thing short. "You made me bleed my own blood...!" Great, now she's ripping off Lust from FMA. MY ARMS! Thank you Leafa, I never really liked Dee Eye Ell to begin with anyways. It is in the Hellabitch's nature to try and kill whoever she wants to sex up at any given moment. On second thought, those ruins look awfully populated to be "safe". With all the bloody violence in this episode, I'm kind of glad Turner S&P already rated this episode so I wouldn't have to write all this shit down. VASSAGO'S BACK, BITCHES. In which Hol Horse uses The World. For all this show's ridiculousness, I actually think Bercouli's kinda cool. Helps that he's confronting the Big Bad right away, even if it's putting his survivability at risk. THE TWO-BASTARD RULE ALWAYS WORKS. What the fuck, did this guy always have black sclera? I don't think vintage wine is as thick as you think. CHOKE ON IT. And then amnesia set in. And that's three bastards now. HIS ARM! "You're lucky I'm right-handed, punk." Administrator was a better domfu than Dee Eye Ell, quote me on that. Oh right, Alice is here. "This game sucks so much ass!" You said it better than me, American self-insert guy. CONSIDER YOURSELF LOGGED OUT. Of course there'd be a second wave. Turns out it was Klein all along. I remember being a little annoyed with Zach Aguilar's voice back when I only knew him as the voice of that shy green-haired glasses boy with the unverified terminal disease, but I've come to enjoy it after hearing him as Genos, Koichi and Tanjiro. FIRE FORCE - I do like that for every show-specific "recorded during the pandemic" advisory, they change up the fonts to match each show, and Fire Force's faux-Eurostile sans serif is my favorite thus far. Those red mountains in the background make the city look like a civilization on Mars if it had a breathable atmosphere. EPISODE 25, YOU MEAN. Iris is the better girl, but I like Tamaki's outfit more. But as always, Maki has the both of them beat. (Dem biceps, mang.) Thanks for the brief recap that didn't really explain anything, Shinra. Maki's ass looks great in those jeans. It honestly took me a moment to realize this was a sudden flashback. It's still my headcanon that Shinra has a thing for nuns, but is self-aware enough to not flaunt it to the world like the other shonen protagonist voiced by his seiyuu. Seriously, what are those hats. Oh hey, it's Lord Death. THINKING. Bang the nun, Shinra. And here's Tamaki to the ruin the mood by acting FUNi as all fuck. At least I remember the whole thing surrounding the truth of Shinra's family situation. SUDDENLY EXPLOSIONS. I'd ask why Shinra didn't take off his shoes before activating his foot-fire, but I know the answer to that is "because burning a pair of perfectly good shoes makes for a cool visual". Holy shit that's huge. I'MMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR. FUCK 👏 YEAH 👏 ARTHUR. 👏 Watching this whole battle, I can honestly say that I've missed all of these guys. Upon further inspection, there do look to be five cores in that thing. BOOM ARMSHOT. I've never seen Hajime no Ippo, but Maki's attack is reminding me of the Dempsey Roll. You're such a goddamn chuuni, Arthur. Obi's pretty dang cool for having no special attack names. And in comes Shinra with the obligatory killshot. (L)ATUM. Late-running opening themes always seem weird to me for some reason. I was also going to ask where the 3rd Company was in that montage, but then I remembered that Dr. Giovanni was the only one with that company and also a real son of a bitch. The future space hoops are ridiculous enough, but that goddamn bunny hat... Seriously, Hinawa, what is your fashion sense? 🤣 He doesn't even look at what hats he's wearing!? Eugh, I hate it when the main character is thrown under the bus. I think that scene would've gone over better if Shinra owned up to it himself instead. In fact, that's what I was anticipating would happen! But alas. 😑 Song still sucks, but at least they're rhyming more things with each other now. NUDE CALENDAR TIME, GO! Huh, so the 3rd is still active, it's just Giovanni was the only relevant one. Whatever place they placed, it was somewhere 5 to 8. They go hard, and not just because of the erections. Yes, let's all celebrate Rekka getting killed. Such grotesque musculature... Vulcan came in just to tell that picture of Giovanni that he sucks. Even Shinra's using that dumb "gravel" designation. Though to be fair, the "Owie!" guys are so pathetic they deserve it. I am so goddamn tsundere for Hibana you wouldn't even believe. Male exercise vs. female exercise. Stealth photography, m-fer. He knows... BEEF SQUAD. Truly the most macho of the Egyptian walking poses. Last place or not, at least Hibana has something to shlick to at night. I have to ask, is Sabat ever gonna get a credit for this show that's under his real name and not his DBZ Abridged stage name? I don't really care about TikTok, and in tune with that, I'm not surprised they chose now of all times to start advertising it. ASS CLASS - This song sounds surprisingly Christmas-y, and we haven't even gotten to Thanksgiving yet. Huh, I didn't even notice Karasuma doing the dance in the OP before. L and R like... L/R Licensed by Royalty? 😆 Oh god, Hellabitch has really grown on me as a character. SUDDENLY TRAPS (and not the transphobic kind). And here's a little something for the WikiFeet crowd. I assume they were all speaking English in the original Japanese. I AM HUMAN RESOURCES MAN. Can I pay this guy to arrange the assassination of everyone on main campus? SUDDENLY KORO-SENSEI. Hellabitch confirmed for a crap assassin. Sucks to be you, Karasuma. What drink is that anyways, strawberry lemonade? Or tomato juice? IT TASTES LIKE A RAINBOW. 🌈 And here we thought Suguha having a thing for Kirito was as bad as anime incest got (even though we all know it can get so much worse). Bandit ninja Koro-sensei. Looks like he's writing his manifesto over there. FUCK 👏 YEAH 👏 KARASUMA. 👏 I wouldn't fuck with him on a bad day. Now that is a bruise. Don't give up until you've exhausted every option. "Elizabeth's Secret", that's a reference some people might not understand. Was that missile always there? I can't tell from this far away, but it looks like Ritsu's got some digital food on her, probably for the purpose of fitting in. With that pose, it's like she's asking him to lick her armpit. (In which you all ask what's going on in that head of mine.) "Gotten himmel..." Wait, I thought this guy was Russian, you're telling me he was German this whole time? WHO'S THE BITCH NOW. [slams Easy Button] That obvious two-frame clapping animation. You go, Hellabitch. Of course Koro wasn't gonna make Karasuma taking a shot at him easy. REPLY TO ANGEL: "Where do you even get a custom suit of squid armor on a teacher's salary?" Scrapyard. I dislike ketchup bottles with the pour tops. Squeeze bottles are easily the superior form of containment and distribution. Oh hey, that's the movie from the trailer Ritsu showed at the end of last episode. Another reason I like Karma: appreciation for directors over source material. The AI hacked their phones. Let's pray your liquids don't get organfied on the way there, or... something. And of course the AI doesn't factor common sense into her calculations. "And that's the third time I've tried meth." True to the population of Hawaii, most of these moviegoers are white tourists. It is in the nature of Austin Tindle's characters to attract pink and cutesy stuff. How thoughtful, he's providing his own audio commentary. BROTHER NOOOOOOOOO! I don't think movies are that predictable, but then again, it is America... BETA BETA. Speaking of detailed synopses, I should probably get started on my two-months-late NaNoWriMo exercises today. Ooh, new characters. And one of them's J. Michael Tatum, my favorite homosexual anime voice actor and yours. You're telling me this kid's Koro-sensei's brother? For a kid trained by a ninja, he certainly has no sense of subtlety. GEMUSETTO - I probably didn't need to rewatch all 4.25 hours of the first Gemusetto last night as prep for this moment... but I think it helped regardless. That said, the God of Tennis being Inti all along was legitimately Top 10 Anime Betrayals material. Yes, you were quite the man's brown starburst. FACE-FINGERING. It's an ironic name. I legit had no idea that white mark on Makasu's shirt was supposed to be a number. I miss the gratuitous Japanese openings, but this works too. SUS. Okay, so it is pronounced Bath-womb on purpose. But the question is, did he have to kill them after defeating them to avoid them getting revenge, or is it just something that happens when gods lose at their secret favorite sport. Those are some huge sunglasses. Oh dang, he reverted back for a moment. They call it the Tree of Life and Death. "frunked". Because unlike the Back Pocket Dimensional Flying Bear, unconditional love isn't in Keith's programming. EMOTIONAL MEMORIES. I always liked escalators. What a premise, indeed. That keytar frog has a deeper voice than I was anticipating. PIXEL FIRE. These vewn-animated expository portions were one of my favorite parts of the original Gemusetto, I'm glad that managed to cross over here. Yeah, no bukkake on Toonami, it's too much for Demarco's fragile ego to handle. Keith makes Back Pocket Dimensional Flying Bear look downright lovable in comparison. ANU-BASS. Like a pirate with two eyepatches. Oh wOw. It's like some kind of fedora frisbee. ZA WARUDO. Gotta love that muzak. Huh, I completely forgot to do a shit count like I normally do with TV-MAL programs. Well, that was certainly a cliffhanger. The worst part is, I feel just as betrayed by the God of Tennis as Makasu was. Oh hi Post Limon, back from beer pong already? I'd go for the money in his shoes before the weed, if we're being honest. JAZZ IT UP. Oh so it's the same OP for all episodes then, that's disappointing but understandable. Think of it like these Italian ramen noodles. I blame the whole "killing the gods" thing for this mixed-up sketty. I'M SAILING AWAYYYYYY. Why can't these trees hold all those limes? Ain't got no time for lime sex. These metaphors say a lot about the emotional memories of Makasu's we don't know. "Lend me your power, Post Limon!" Twice the skeletons, twice the spooky. Bursting through the breasts are especially spooky. And now for a whole different kind of bass. Nice hats tho. So sports lead to heart problems, huh? Remember that affair you had with your Italian bocce ball teacher! Or that time a dog you practice-kidnapped pissed on your poofy cleats and its rich Southern belle owner spanked you over it, that works too. "I wonder if this trauma will develop into a kink." They always do, I used to be afraid of masks when I was little and now they're the most surefire way to get me hard. Narcs are bad, but hypocrites who act like their shit don't stink are the worst, and unlucky for me, this planet is full of 'em. SUDDENLY MUSTACHES. The snack that smiles back, goldfish. Such grotesque musculature... Sometimes I see a bit of myself in Makasu, but I don't really see a bit of Makasu in me. At least, not yet. Oh hey it's the noodle arm bully from the sports academy flashback episode. Was that Seinfeld? SHIPPUDEN - Wait, how could they have resurrected Fu if he was the one used as a vessel to bring Torune back? "I didn't want him to join the Foundation, but... he insisted." That's a lotta bodies. And then he was the Bulk. This week, it's Aburame vs. Aburame. Technically, Danzo was killed partly by Sasuke, and partly by his own undoing. Shino backstory, it's about damn time we got some of that. They also turn the body purple like it's Grape Ape. "That's why I can't touch anyone, not without these gloves at least." Well it's kinda hard to make friends when you have Naruto running around and being a nuisance to people. SUDDENLY IRUKA. It's his nature to analyze things, why else would he wear glasses? Danzo may have been a bastard, but I love his voice; then again, William Frederick Knight's voice is a national treasure in general. Just imagine how different things would be if Shino was part of the Foundation instead of Team 8. (Probably not that different, honestly.) Oh jeez, we ninja biological warfare now. Oh he's made friends, just not of his own volition. Finally, a version of the Hot Chick that's just as much about the literally who teenage girl committing crimes as it is Rob Schneider (read: Vince Vaughn) having pillow fights with other literally who teenage girls. I completely forgot what Fu's jutsu is, probably something mentality-related. Well that was a disappointing sparring match, didn't even find out what his power was. Oh it's just regular ass mind transfer. Hmm, not a whole lot worth talking about here. Weird, could this be Gemusetto's doing...? And in comes Naruto for yet another Big Damn Heroes moment. Wait, does the "venomous beetles kill whatever they touch" thing work on clones? If so, I think Naruto might have a bit of an advantage, even if his chances of winning in CQC are still zero. But I have to say, he's doing pretty decent with what he's got. SHINO NOOOOOOO. Always working several steps ahead, that's our Shino. "Though I'm still a little mad that Naruto keeps forgetting me every now and again." Bioweapon: neutralized. This part of the battle's over, at least. Dammit Naruto, he was having a moment! These are going to be an interesting seven weeks.

I enjoyed it, though I can tell why others would think of it as shit. Sometimes shows as weird as these just aren't up some people's respective alleys, both figurative and literal. Even I'll admit, watching it in the open brings with it a sort of inner shame. Also, while the art style is definitely more appealing to the eyes, the overall product is still inferior to the first season. At least, based on these first two episodes, it is.

Yes. You are.

Even as one who thinks Cowboy Bebop being the #1 greatest anime of all time is an overstated plebeian opinion, I think it deserved this win and unofficial designation.

Oh wOw

Air 8

I dunno, considering they threw clips from second season episodes that haven't even aired yet in one of their new Criminal Threats promo that aired while the first season was still rerunning, I don't think it's that farfetched that someone forgot that there's definitely some differentiation there. Oh well, the new season's coming and those of us here know when it's coming, that's all that really matters.

Good to know. I think what I'll do is find some list examples and work from there, at least for now.

Akudama Drive 3

So it's National Novel Writer's Month and, being someone who occasionally writes in their spare time - which I have a lot of between the pandemic and my continuing struggle to get employed - I was thinking I could do some practice exercises, prompts and whatnot, to both celebrate and get myself back in the writing mood. I'm not looking to really create a novel or an attempt at one - not yet, anyways - so I don't think actually doing the stuff the NaNoWriMo organization may be doing this month is the right course of action. Plus I have to sign up and I'm well over their targeted age range. Are there any free NaNoWriMo exercises/prompts/etc. I can do this month that I can schedule on my own terms and without pressure from larger organizations?

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm just as pleasantly surprised about this as you are.
