It's 3ngag3's thing to pretend that Pop Team Epic doesn't exist in every opportunity potential acknowledgement of its existence arises. I wouldn't worry about it. It's Toonami on [as] only, so no ACTN shows. Deadman and Ghoul are on the bracket, they're just hard to spot. FMA's also on there, but it's Brotherhood only. Yeah, if you call your Pop Team Epic-free Cloudcuckooland "reality".

Your refusal to acknowledge Pop Team Epic's existence is so unfunny and overplayed, it's actually starting to piss me off a little. 😡

But that's 5 hours, meaning they're airing 10 episodes, not 12. Craps, forgot about Daylight Savings.

Or do watch. We're not cops, we don't enforce what individual people can and can't like, even if what they like is flawed out the wazoo.

Cinderella Boy 13 Fun finale, though I really shouldn't be surprised the ending was of the "and the adventure continues" variety, even with the main obstacles taken care of. 8.25/10.

Ha! You think that's cursed?

VENTO AUREO - "YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY!" Well shit, that hand stab doesn't look too good. IT'S A DUD!? Sucks being an astral projection, doesn't it, KC? Reverse soul-swap, go! The wasp was a butterfly all along. These soul spheres did come straight out of nowhere, didn't they? THINK ABOUT WHO'S TRULY WORTHY. And down goes Requiem. Aw shit, that means Mista's gonna wake up with a hole in his stomach. More importantly, that means Bucciarati's finally ascending. Holy shit this series started like a year ago our time. Meanwhile, KC still can't touch the arrow. Good, you're here, now heal him before we lose any more. Oh right he has to break the news to everybody. Random cherubs. T_T7 Arrividerci, Bucciarati. Guess we know who has the arrow now. Somehow. [bullhorn] Even if I was a smoker/vaper in high school, I'd have just left the vape stick in that public restroom toilet. Normalization, normalization everywhere. "Who was it who said, 'we all stand as soldiers, chosen by destiny?'" Probably the same guy who came up with the name STAND. And so the "Diavolo is Emperor Crimson" theory starts making even more sense. I dunno, you probably failed because you were tied to a body you just Kakyoin'd. He'll go into hiding, and then we'll never be able to find him! As to be expected of this part's JoJo. OH YEAHHHHHHnevermind future prediction. I like that shot of serious Diavolo with that little angry face on his forehead. And so he was Kakyoin'd out of victory. Speaking of turtles, where is Polnareff? REQUIEM'S PISSED. And then the arrow snaked into his arm, like that other one did with Kira before it. Bizarre substance. YOU DIE NOW. Oh shit, he molted. You gotta love these iconic shots. "Fuck yo time skip, n*gga." SCORPIONS! Hey, you can't do that, cutting off your own fingers is a Japanese thing! >_> Thanks for the arrow, Bucciarati. "Oh crap, he's achieved full pretention." Nice codpiece, Requiem. And as usual, Mista misses. You fool, you think mere blood in the eyes is enough to stop a Requiem STAND? Okay, so we're rewinding time now, that's neat. And then he turned into a Youtube Poop. KORE GA... REQUIEM DA. Hey, Mista's gonna finally shoot someone again! Though death by MUDA MUDA works just as well. Huh, Bruno gets top billing this week. He deserves it. T_T7 ASS CLASS - What's it called when you're sexual for a tentacle geisha? "Not to put a damper on the fun, but don't have fun. Main Campus may get jealous." I love me some snipers. I really enjoy Karma more than I should. Who needs another girl when Nagisa's already in your group? Considering her long black hair, I can buy the whole "doesn't stand out in a crowd" thing and the whole "class idol" thing. Miss Hellabitch is the living definition of "mixed signals". That's a lot of encyclopaedias. Damn, that guidebook's thicker than my planning law textbook. Oh, stuff your mouths full of disembodied seal dicks, you main campus bastards. "Is that the putrid stench of abject poverty filling my nostrils?" No, that's just your rancid beef stick farts, dude. That paparazzi line just killed me. Sucks to be you, Miss Hellabitch. FUCK MAIN CAMPUS IN THE GAME OF LIFE~. I'm calling that one the Oppai Building. Terror at 320 kph. Koro-sensei is the greatest. 2000 yen says that boxcutter is the reason that guy's in E class. Better watch what you say, Nagisa, you may regret it. The irony is, these obviously evil delinquents are much decenter people at heart than those main campus buttmunches and their fancy hotel accommodations. Equally ironic is Koro-sensei being the most bummed out by their hotel choice. It's amazing how he can do that while so low-energy. Is that Bryan Massey voicing the poor sap in charge of all these delinquents? School anime sure love their field trips to Kyoto. They're famous Japanese people who got assassinated. Honnouji, you say? That's why they call Kyoto "the murder capital of Japan". An assassication, perhaps. YEAH, SUGAR! I too love secluded empty areas where I can talk to myself without worry of others listening in. Eh, better to be confronted by delinquents from another school than goddamn main campus. Prepping for Gemusetto S2 by playing a game focusing on a different yet equally boring sport, are we? But I gotta say, this takes me back to the days of Wii Golf. Though it was less me actually playing, and more watching some below-amateur Let's Player playing as George Bush vs. Nabeshin on YouTube Kill them, Karma. Oh shit, guess he doesn't do well against high numbers. Be lucky you hid, you'd have wound up like your doppelganger from Emergence instead. Plus you can't really trust Japanese cops, not in this universe anyways. Karma's ready to bust some heads. Eh, this bondage isn't extensive enough for me to see the appeal. So she's a gamer, so wha-ohhhh. 😳 Can't say I was expecting her to be a kogal. Leave it to Koro-sensei to anticipate that as well. Memories and experiences are key, but souvenirs are nice too. In a way, it was therapy, because therapists in Japan are as hard to find as a hay in a needlestack. Still, nice to see she isn't a bitchy secret kogal like some. You'll need to elaborate on what you mean by "artsy". KUWABARA NO! Koro-sensei is the greatest guidebook preparer. His friends are a bunch of out-of-it nerds? FUCK YEAH KORO-SENSEI. SHIT COUNT: 2. In other words, fuck main campus. BOOKED. Don't screw with assassins-in-training. Because if there's anything FUNimation knows best, it's female empowerment. FUN FACT: The head delinquent in charge this episode was originally dubbed by Scott Freeman, but because his blacklisting and subsequent arrest for CP possession happened shortly after this episode and there was still time before the home video release, they had to redub him with a different guy. Considering the character was one of those "assaults women" types, I don't really blame them. Oh Koro-sensei, you and your male-brained desires. BLACK CLOVER - Welcome to the Pierrot Power Hour of Pain; I watch it so Angel doesn't have to. Oh hey, it's a Finral episode this week. Though he's a jerk, Langris did make some very good points about the one half of Finral's two-fold running gag that I'm less than privy to. Wait, Yami mentioned that chick before? I don't remember it. "A Dreavy Hinker" Oh boy it's another mixer episode. And Secre's disguised herself as a waitress too, this time. Goddammit Luck. Here I was thinking glasses chick was a lesbian, but alas, she's just one of those husbando people. We all know what you're worried about, haremette #1. 😏 OH NO SHE'S ADORABLE. Of course you have reason care, you're his wife. I'll leave it to Finral, he plays the aloof jerk role surprisingly well. Truly I'm qualified to laugh at this stupid nonsense. Nobody fucking cares, Luck. Aw damn, I was secretly hoping we wouldn't have Sekke and his buddies here, but hey, when at a mixer... We all know he's been sucking the king's dick, even sarcastically. They're so unimpressed they aren't even hungry. Thanks, Noelle. It's just a little treason, nothing to worry about. He wants to fight... in bed. Oh no, he's this chick's husbando IRL now. Secre doesn't need a tray. Lookin' pretty film noir detective there, Langris. Oh hey, a secret meeting. I bet you anything it's actually a private mixer. "This rain is bananas." B-A-N-A-N-A-S? Or maybe they're just here for the free grub. Gordon, you're my secret favorite Black Bull. I can't understand anything this bitch is saying. At least she's not calling you a virgin street punk like everyone else, Virgin Street Punk Dandy. "You have no clue what I'm going through." "Oh, you mean everyone else in your squad being straight as an arrow?" I think that dress makes your breasts stand out very well. Well butter my biscuit, there's that arrow I mentioned! "Work it, girl~." Pfft! Guess Finral's worries about bringing Yami to a mixer were legitimate after all. Ceiling Magic Knights, watching this whole trainwreck play out. Upon closer inspection, that looks more like a runway dress than anything practically formal. Red and yellow tomatoes... what a classy salad. Everyone wants a good listener. He's got the casual touch~. Oh no, her husbando's a Gary Stu. "That's just bad writing!" If TG didn't hate Black Clover as much as he does, I bet he'd use that reaction in reference to this show so much. And here's Asta and Rebecca, having the most normal conversation in the whole pub. Oh wow, Gordon's doing better at this flirting thing than I'd have guessed. Mmm, steak. Yami's better at holding a conversation than I'd have guessed, too. EXIT STAGE WINDOW. If she said "Call me captain!" in the distance while falling, I'd honestly have laughed. "You don't have to act like you just got infected with the damn COVID or somethin'!" How does this episode not have any subratings, that public sex assumption was easily D-worthy. And with that, he won one battle while losing another hard. Yeah, go back to your Gary Stu protagonists. Of course, Luck's too autistic to care that he just got dumped. Keep hatin', Langris. Huh, so Yami sitting on that side wasn't some minor animation mistake. Wait, so we haven't even gotten past the first month yet? Oh hey, it's the Last Stream on the Left guys. I'm not used to seeing Henry without his facial hair. SHIPPUDEN - I'm starting to think this arc was partly an excuse for the anime staff to take advantage of snow day tropes. Something tells me Sasuke doesn't even know those flowers are there. There's your obligatory Naruto cameo for this flashback. "I'm gonna graffiti up those faces one of these days." I can't tell which side of the NaruSaku/NaruHina shipping war Pierrot's even on, with how frequently back-and-forth they give both pairings attention. It's funny when Sasuke looks ridiculous. He'd have time to think if not for all these sudden attacks. OH GOD THERE'S TWO OF THEM. Huh, the lightning must be a new thing. Follow the whistling, Naruto. And then there were four. Okay, so he knows him too. Hm, so Naruto's snappiness is the reason he was able to hang out with these guys without really being "friends" with any of them. Don't mind him, he's just having one of those present-time PTSD moments. HYPOCRISY. Just remember, moss points north. You know what kids would love more than zombies or dinosaurs? Zombie dinosaurs! Use your words! Nice to meet you, Scared. Don't worry, boy, you'll get there on both counts soon enough. He couldn't do basic jutsu, but at least he could whistle. That's impressive in its own right. I mean, I'm much better at it now, but still, if only I'd have known how to do it way back when. Uh-oh, surprise aura. OROCHIMARU! That was... a thing. Come to think of it, his hat does look a little like one of those Sound Ninja belt sashes. And with that, a new weather power was born. "You are my friend." AA ANO HI NO YUME. Oh, so was Kiba the one who messed his secret base up? Nevermind, angry thunder was on the menu from the very beginning. Annnnnd now we're playing kick the can, I guess? Sure, whatever. Great, now it's hide and seek. Young Kiba sounds weird when he's counting up from one. Okay, so it's a mix of kick the can and hide and seek. Must be some Japanese thing. Oh no, ANBUs. The Leaf Village's immigration policy makes our border wall look like an open border. The question now is, what killed Yota?

Bracketology, man. Doesn't have to make sense, but it sure is a lotta fun.

That was two seasons ago and I was honestly more focused on Midnight than Mineta that episode, so that would explain how I missed that. Still, as correct as Mochi was here, it doesn't mean he's just as correct with some of the other things he says.

THIS YEAR'S GIFT ROSTER five gift cards (two Skyline, two Chipotle, one Bibibop) external Blu-Ray player for laptop street signs picked from antique stores new clothes hamper bag of chips sweet chow chow (think American Southern giardiniera) a bottle of gin a twelve-pack of hard cider (apple, orange, strawberry, and blackberry flavors) ceramic cookware (for my own personal lasagnas) some kid's toy version of ramen with a bunch of gummy multicolored cats in it (gag gift from my uncle, of course) Venture Bros. Season 7 DVD (Season 6 coming soon) Gangsta BD+DVD The Calamari Wrestler DVD (another gag gift from my uncle) Now I can fully appreciate episode 6A of Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge, even if my chances of disliking that one are still pretty high.

Seriously, dude, you need to start putting citations in your posts.

Special birthday update on this season's shows: While I'm liking what I'm seeing of IWGP so far, even I've gotta admit it's pretty blase compared to the powder keg of excitement and personality that was the J-drama, easily one of my favorite live action shows of all time. Curiously enough, I'm getting the most enjoyment right now out of Hypnosis Mic. I wasn't planning on watching this for the plot in any way, so it was easy for me to finally revel in all the ridiculousness the premise has to offer. Even if it's stymied a little by my tendency to count how many times the characters say "fuck", like any true blue content ratings autist. Haven't checked out Akudama Drive yet, but I hear that it's stylish and edgy, and it manages to make it work. A little concerned about the violence censorship (like I haven't dealt with that before through BLOOD-C), but outside of that, I'm still gonna go through with watching it. Even if I have to wait a few more days for personal reasons.

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle: Rhyme Anima 2

Thanks, guys. I've been having a great time so far, especially for someone turning 26. And now, I'm going to watch the new episode of Hypnosis Mic while under still the influence of one hard cider and at least two glasses of wine. Wish me luck! ✌️

When Demarco says we're getting it.

Primal 6

What most people don't know about the [as] Brain Trust is that it was meant to be a panel discussion on the Squidbillies pilot - hence why Early's there - but because the pilot was far from ready yet, they aired PHF in its place instead. The ambiguity of what the "program we just watched" even was helps with that.

Oh, I know. I just thought it'd be too cheap if I'd mentioned the other one as I initially intended.

Initially, I never found Mineta's perversion to be that much of a problem beyond the usual stigmas that come with being the token pervert, but it really became an issue when it became all he was about. Truly he peaked in the practical exam arc, and it's been a downhill slope ever since. But even if not, I still enjoy it whenever various MHA fanfics dunk on him.

It existed, get over it.

I'm gonna be the only person on this board who's gonna enjoy this.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park 1 (rewatch) Just cleansing the palate after the heaviness of the Air episode I watched earlier.
