Of all the new Netflix anime announcements, I'm most excited for this one. You can probably guess why. Also B: The Beginning 2.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park 4

It had a strong start, but ultimately settled into a weird space where I enjoy watching it but can barely remember half of what went on, and that's without getting to all the issues I have with some of the characters. Like, I'm normally into dominatrix-type characters, but I can name so many things wrong with Hibana to counterbalance the "right" that, comparing myself to Vegeta, she's the Yamcha to Esdeath's Goku. [and i actually kinda like yamcha]

The wrong spooky season AMV.

Akudama Drive 1

So much for the Canadians.

Yeah, you gotta love Key/Visual Art's.

Bored, so I'm going through this thread to complain about things that, sadly, have next to nothing to do with main campus. WE GET IT. STOP PROCLAIMING YOUR DISTASTE FOR CERTAIN THINGS IN ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS! Google it. In this universe, they are. It's a little late for that, my dude... My question exactly. Kind of weird they'd put out a new merch promo but not one of these. Maybe it'll premiere in the middle of the week where no one will bother to record it? Kind of funny how that one guy's reaction goes from trying to confirm his opinion in Japanese to outright decrying it in English. Bravo, FUNi. Clearly you haven't watched enough anime with Ritsus in them. You and /co/ both. Someone actually expressed pity and concern over them being so sapped for new stuff in 2020 that they'd think the stinger was a legit promo. Of course, I knew it was post-credits, because the FUNi vanity plate hadn't popped up yet, plus the [as] watermark was still in the corner. [always be watching]

Air. Vic voices the MC, and he just... deletes himself from reality in episode 7. Ironically, it's for the sake of Monica Rial's character.

None of us are, especially when we have the rest of that year of SAO I promised replacing it. VENTO AUREO - OH FUCK SURPRISE FULL OPENING ONCE MORE. And with sound effects too! Eventually, Bucciarati stopped thinking. His hand, now he'll never be able to sculpt the same way again! "Wait a minute, are you a cop?" Nope, that's another member of the gang you're thinking of. This guy sounds awfully familiar, but I just can't place his voice... Neat, he's another "naturally occuring" STAND user, you don't see those often anymore. Are those vines around his head? I'm thinking Max Mittelman, anyone else thinking Max Mittleman? HIS HANDS, HIS SCULPTING SKILLS! Huh, never heard Michaelangelo pronounced that way. YOU GODDAMN NERD. I remember the blood from the mouth, but not the hole in his chest, at least statue-wise. I don't think that's how Russian Roulette is played. The virgin "she's dying of super-AIDS and I'm sticking to it" vs. the chad "I don't know what disease it is, but it's definitely terminal". Genetic ailments are a bitch. IT'S A DUD!? SHIT COUNT, ACT 1: 2. Mista just doesn't understand. I liked these Sonic ads better when it was just two guys shooting the shit in a car and not a bunch of literal whos sing-talking the name of a new item. If that phone is Bucciarati's, then who is Bucciarati's phone? I'm confident he said "turn this ship around", but part of me swears it was another S-bomb. No, not the stairs! "That's weird, this rock looks an awful lot like me." YEEHAW. Yeah, the oozing's kind of weirding me out too. INTERCEPTION. Plot twist: the rock has Lynks Disease. Exit, stage seven stories up. The car cushioned his fall, err, somewhat. SHIT COUNT, ACT 2: 1. And it was their car all along. Check out Fugo crawling out of the car in the background there. Ohh, so this was all before Giorno got confronted on the train. Congratulations, Mista, you only made things worse. So the thing to glean from this side story is, Mista knew Bucciarati was going to die, he's just in denial about it. My dad passed by, saw Trish, and called her "quite the looker". OH MY GOD A GIANT ROCK. Oh hi Polnareff. Just wait, we'll let him discover the disappointment all on his own. Get it, Mista. Nice, he did that one look Bucciarati gave way back when. LAST CALL FOR MODERN CRUSADERS. Oh, so it was Daman Mills, then. And then Giorno was the boss. And his outfit is no longer a stupid color! (Though TBH, I don't think purple works for Mista as much as the show thinks it does.) And so the wait for the Stone Ocean anime begins. ASS CLASS - Just another day of normal, far away from those ass-fucks at main campus. You fool, by telling them not to make a big deal out of it, they're absolutely sure to make a big deal out of it! The screen says "middle-aged", but my memory of last week's events says "two years out of high school". That is some bright-ass hair. OH MY GOD A GIANT MP3 PLAYER. "Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery"... I'll have to make a note of that. Karasuma really doesn't like her, I'm guessing. "Not making smartass comments about this will be the hardest thing I've ever done." That's why it's our job here at the UEMB to do that for you. Is it weird that I'm more interested in what story Koro-sensei's lecturing them about than where AIFA's weapons are? (Mostly because I knew where they were already.) YOU'LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT. In this case, the textbook definition of insanity also had the expected different results actually come into being. (Sort of.) This AI chick just doesn't know when to quit. We can only hope they unleash her on main campus next. That subtle boob jiggle. 😙 This guy doesn't mind fucking heavy machinery. They duct-taped her shut. Of course the one guy who deserves all the shit main campus gives him would be behind it. And here comes Koro-sensei to give her some life coaching. Or at least, try to give her some life coaching. But why a baguette tho? By the time he's done, she'll have all of the emotions. No way, baklava's from Turkey? I always thought it was a Greek thing. Like I said, all of the emotions. (And a larger screen, too.) His poor, poor bank account... I'm honestly kind of excited for this, but at the same time, I share your confusion and disgust. Yeah, well, that's because you are a total douche. That fourth-wall break. Remember when FUNimation actually used to be subtle with its anti-perversion stance in its comedy dubs? For one, he can't bring Ed's mom back to life. My dad answered the question about the retinas from the other room. HE'S A CHEAT! That sculpture was not created, because it was always meant to take that form. She plays shogi Pop Team Epic-style: winning in a ridiculously minimal amount of moves. I must know the name of this anime adaptation. Speaking of personality types, I'm an INFJ; same as MLK and Nelson Mandela, but also Hitler and Itachi. I do love how FUNi translates this show's wordplay by having the characters acknowledge what should be their native tongue. I just realized Karma had no voicetime this episode until now. OH SHIT IT'S THE I.T. DEPARTMENT. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. God what a load of dicks, they're actually starting to give main campus a run for their money. At least Terasaka's getting the other short end of the multi-ended stick in this case. 😏 SUDDENLY FLOWERS. Suck on that, I.T. I thought there were, like, 30 students in this class; you're telling me there's only 27? Goddammit Hellabitch. I don't think I've ever seen anime parody the Paramount logo. I don't know what that was, but I'm intrigued. "Karasuma, get over here! Hellabitch wants some sex." BLACK CLOVER - Meanwhile, things have gotten deadly serious over on FishCenter Live. Noelle looks out to the sea and thinks, "why do I act like a stereotypical tsundere's stereotype?" For a filler episode, this opening part is pretty well-animated, and even well-directed at the right points. Goddammit I was secretly hoping Asta wouldn't be here. Finral's mood is accurate, I'm not much of a jogger either, let alone a distance runner. I unironically enjoy you, Zora. But really, I'm just amazed I'm finally starting to find amusement in Luck's gimmick. Yare yare daze... YOU SUCK GREY. Aw shit, they're both in nerd mode. Gauche truly is at his absolute best when Marie goes unmentioned. SHIRTLESS YAMI ALERT. That a Virgin Blue Hawaiian Noelle's drinking there? Whatever's going on, Asta knows it's important. Oh hi guys, long time no see. I'm 100% confident that was not his name, subtitles. The Void of No Return, also known as the Gone Forever Hole. This time, it ain't Future Yami's problem. And even Present Yami thinks this filler's kind of fishy, and not just in the sense of it taking place underwater. Huh, looks like Noelle's calling the shots (to a degree) this time. Eh, not a huge fan of the slime thing. Maybe if I was more of a Nickelodeon kid, I'd buy that... but no. Welcome to the Abyss, children. Aaaaaand there's our obligatory Marie namedrop. Oh, Asta. You have physical issues. If there's anyone who can help someone escape from the Void of No Return, it's Finral. Oh no, piranha men! "Is that even possible?" In filler, anything is possible, just ask Tony the Tiger here. Ahh, his sexy hair! SONG MAGIC: GEMUSETTO DEATH BEATS. That's our lady-loving, self-deprecating attituded boy. This power-up seems like it might actually be present in the canon, though I won't hold my breath on that. Even the piranha men fear the tentacle! For a second I thought that "it's the Kraken" line was just a FUNi ad-lib. GET IN MAH BELLEH. Happy Inktober, fellas! Oof, right between the eyes... And then Atlantis. AND MOBY DICK TOO, WHILE WE'RE AT IT! When all else may fail, rely on stock song recordings. Ohhh, baby Moby Dick! Well that was some interesting lore I don't think will ever resurface in the canon. For planning on wedding a nun, Asta doesn't seem to mind the whole "double dates with other women" thing. Still sucks to be Finral but at least he's doing better. But no really, FCL's gotten really serious now, I think Jeremy Legg might be dead. SAFETY STEGOSAURUS NOOOOOOOO!! SHIPPUDEN - You really suck at this whole "chessmaster" thing, Kabuto. Why am I not surprised that Orochimaru had an island hideout? "He must be turning in his grave. Err, metaphorically, I mean." Aw shit it's one of Danzo's bodyguards. That one guy looks a lot like Hanzo. Who said the enemy side couldn't have comic relief moments of their own? They're all weak because they're insignificant. Even White Zetsu is in disbelief at their uselessness. Oh hey, it's that guy's dad. THEY'RE COMIN' RIGHT FOR US! This transformation looks like a damn pinecone. Poor dude, cucked from beyond the grave. Catching up with deceased comrades apparently counts as occupying them, I take it. RELEASE THE ASS GAS. Those limes falling on Makasu's head, is that a reference to that one meme about the guy who can't hold all those limes? Just in case y'all forgot Sasuke existed for five minutes again. "Don't mock him, Sasuke. Not while you two are in the same room, anyways." I still remember feeling some chills from this reveal. I'll admit, it's pretty neat the second half of this episode (so far) is just flashbacks to Kabuto going around to familiar locals and reviving the dead. It's a good thing I can read katakana and surnames, so the need for subtitles is nonexistent. The right-hand man of his right-hand man. Huh, so that monk was that other monk's mentor. Paper bomb tentacles; ain't they a bitch? A monk's gotta do what a monk's gotta do. ...The fuck was that thing that jumped out of Temari's fan? [rewinds] Oh right, her summoning animal's a weasel. Goddamn, wasn't expecting him to crush on Temari this hard. Then again, I can't really blame him. She is one of this show's few best girls. Guy lost his life in a C-rank mission, now that's being called a loser. Now that the comic relief's been taken care of, it's time to get serious again. [as serious as filler can get, anyways]

It amuses me that so many people think every new GoHands anime will be as bad as Hand Shakers just because it has the same visual aesthetic the studio uses in even their more well-received works. What I'm trying to say is, those people are simple-minded.

I refrain from watching marathons on principle, and this instance is no different from the rest.

Not necessarily a BC fan, but if I could wait months for [as] to air dubbed episodes of Moribito long after everyone else finished it in subs, I can wait for Toonami to get back in the saddle with Black Clover.

How strange, that I came upon this after watching an anime episode where Vic's character literally erased himself out of existence.

Air 7

Akudama Drive, and as far as I know, they are accurate. He was talking to me, and seeing how he called me a "retard" on top of "scum", I'm glad I blocked his ass.

Once again, another long-running shounen says goodbye after a good chunk of episodes on the air. But unlike One Piece or even Boruto, I expect this one to come back before super long. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #90 - Staring Down the Wall to be Overcome! Goku vs. Gohan - TV-14V 12:30 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind #39 - The Sleeping Slave - TV-MAV - END 1:00 - Assassination Classroom #9 - Transfer Student Time - TV-14L 1:30 - Black Clover #136 - A Black Deep Sea Story - TV-PGL - INDEFINITE HIATUS START 2:00 - Fire Force #24 - The Burning Past - TV-14V - SEASON END 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #316 - The Reanimated Allied Forces - TV-PG 3:00 - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #3 - Sabito and Makomo - TV-14V Sorry, Asta, looks like you are done, for now.

Corpse Princess: Aka 5 (dub) Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 4

Only when they shut up about Pierrot, will I also shut up about Pierrot. In this thread, at least.

[REDACTED]

Shut the actual fuck up, Hunter, it looks way better in motion. Still much too fast and loose to really be "on model" levels of good... but better than you're insinuating by posting a literal still with the citation "dude trust me".

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle: Rhyme Anima 4 Okay, I'm starting to get convinced that maybe Tokyo's new feminazi overlords weren't simply elected to their positions.

Top: animated in-house at Pierrot (with outsourcing from Korean subcontractor Jiwoo) Bottom: animation outsourced to no-name studio Rising Force Yep, seems legit.

What can I say? When you watch Pierrot, expect their subcontractors to be below-average. Their in-house stuff, at least in my opinion, is competent at worst.
