UPDATE: For reasons relating to my side hobby adding staff to Anime News Network, I snuck into the old Wayback Machine archives of the ASMB to check out the thread I made for Kiguma. After finding out it was there, I decided to make a wave of edits to the above post to more or less reflect its current status. The links for viewing are listed below. Page 1 (eps 1-2) Page 2 (ep 3) Page 3 (ep 4) Page 4 (eps 5-6) Page 5 (eps 7-8) Page 6 (eps 9-10) Page 7 (eps 11-12) Another post coming later regarding the informational basics.

At least it wasn't another goddang pachinko machine.

The CW is a network station. Cartoon Network is cable. Your comparison is bullshit and you know it, even if it is technically correct.

Kanon 2006 5 Key tsunderes are the best tsunderes.

That'd be why I spoiler-marked it.

Toonami's never gonna air that fuckin' movie, even if it did make bigger bucks than almost every other anime film ever made.

Fair and possibly true, but personally the whole "demon food" thing reminded me of the Grandma Stuffum episodes of KND. ATTACK ON TITAN - Sucks that Zofia's dead, but Udo kinda deserved his for letting his emotions get the better of him. Still, it wouldn't have killed that doctor to check his pulse before declaring him DOA. And while I'm happy to see several old characters returning, what was Isayama thinking, giving half of them yee-yee ass haircuts? Mikasa and Jean being the worst offenders. (Plus it's so nice to see Floch's still the worst. 😒) ASS CLASS - I had a feeling Takaoka was behind all this (mostly because of my weakness for marked spoilers), and I'm with Nagisa, he deserves to die. Also, lol at Terasaka having a secret thing for maid cafes. FIRE FORCE - But if there's one guy who deserves it worse than Takaoka, it's that leader of that Shadows group. Beat the shit out of young Joker for beliefs the poor kid didn't even believe in to start, trashed a keepsake to teach him a lesson, gave him 28 lashes for what I assume was the fun of it (and there may or may not have been anal rape involved), and killed an innocent family just for helping him out. I said out loud that I hoped he got killed brutally, and in the biggest act of grace Fire Force has performed for me personally since the damn thing started, it delivered. Ahh, there's nothing more primal than seeing an edgy character meet an edgier end and just reveling in it. BLACK CLOVER - I might feel a little dirty for saying this, but I've missed this stupid show. GRIDMAN - Okay seriously, what is this mist? Still, can't go wrong with episodes taking place in the woods in the summertime. This had the most WOWOW (one of its broadcast stations) feel to it yet, and I love it. SHIPPUDEN - Not much to say here, but Naruto using a clone to help push the chakra rod out of the Four-Tails' Son Goku's neck was pretty clever of the kid, even if some see it as a simple solution.

Beefaroni vs. Beefaghetti. [they're both so good]

You know, you don't have to quote anything if you're replying to the thread in general. And while it is true they couldn't get the rights, it was more of an extreme difficulty than an outright impossibility.

The Qwaser of Stigmata 10

With titles like that, I can't fault them for trying to lure some of us back in. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #102 - The Power of Love Explodes?!

Corpse Princess: Kuro 4

Redo of Healer 5

The correct answer is Tokyo Ghoul's production committee. Split the Aogiri Raid arc in two between the end of season 1 and the start of Root A, just so they could end the former with Kaneki going off the deep end.

True, but he said it like there wasn't a break between the two Ass Class seasons in Japan.

You... do know that Assassination Classroom took a break after episode 22 in Japan too, right? God, Elfie, every time I think you've peaked in stupidity, you defy my expectations. It's like you're acting moronic on purpose at this point.

Looks like the second-half of Adventures in Killing Koro-Sensei will have to wait.

It's certainly doing better with the whole "retro-modern" approach so far than Tsuburaya Eizo did in the early aughts. http://landofobscusion.blogspot.com/2018/02/akira-tsuburayas-retro-modern-anime.html
