/co/ thinks the same way. Whenever they claim Black Clover's the only premiere on the block, I just think to myself, "But what about Shippuden?"

For once, one of your crackpot theories was spot-on. Great job.

This was obligatory, and gets nothing from me but a nod of approval.

12 oz. Mouse 21 plus Enter the Sandmouse and INVICTUS

12 oz. Mouse 8-20 Those last two episodes were surprisingly kino for this show's art style and budget.

I'm thinking the most likely solution for Ballmastrz getting replaced is that Shippuden and Jack move up, and the 3AM slot they subtly added in is just as subtly eliminated once more.

I missed the Biker Totoros - though I did catch Baby Ball getting mobbed by kittens - but judging from having watched it in fast-forward, I'd say Ballmastrz is picking up. I'll probably wait to watch it until I can handle the first couple of episodes without wanting to scream at half the cast for being annoying, especially since I have three other [as] originals on my personal watching queue.

And here I thought JoJo returning in PA's timeslot was an unrealistic predicition. Hence why none of you have heard about that 'til now.

Ditto, but only if it's a fuck OVA and not a garden variety hentai. Everything they shared was neat and all, but seriously, what the fuck's replacing Paranoia Agent and Mob in the next two weeks? You can't keep holding out on us forever, Demarco.

Indeed it didn't. Doing this week's thoughts internship-style, to account for the fact that I didn't want to spoil myself on anything before going into it, like I did for the 2012 April Fools' stunt. TOONAMICON - As a fan of the works of I.G and one of the few people who actually enjoyed B: The Beginning (even if I can't remember half of what went on in it), I'm looking forward to Fena: Pirate Princess. (Not too crazy about the name, tho.) Blade Runner anime is kinda meh on my end, and a little disappointed that the Uzumaki preview was the one that's been online forever now. All three interviews were good though. Steve Blum and Dana Swanson sharing how they first got to be TOM and SARA too. (I bet you anything Demarco was wearing his "Fuck Racism" shirt during those interviews.) The Pillows performances were fun, though they just prove that I prefer the studio versions of their songs to the live covers, excluding their amazing acoustic rendition of "Ice Pick". Yes, everything was fun and all, but honestly, I'm just pissed that they didn't bother to tell us what the hell's replacing Paranoia Agent next week or what's replacing Mob the week after. You'd think that would be higher priority than three shows that won't see airtime until next year, but when it comes to Demarco, always lower your expectations. RICK & MORTY ANIME SHORT - Not bad, though I could've done with something else. The fact that TOM namedropped Tower of God when introducing the director is just making me think all the more that we're gonna be getting it soon. PARANOIA AGENT - Fifteen years later, and Ikari breaking out of his dream world is still an amazing sequence. Lot of emotion too, between Ikari's dead wife and Tsukiko's dead dog. I still find it odd that Kawazu's the only minor recurring character we see to have survived... whatever you wanna call the giant black blob Lil' Slugger turned into swallowing up everything. The post-credits scene with Maniwa sharing the cryptic message was a nice bonus inclusion, didn't expect that at all. It was really great watching this again, and I think it might actually be in my top 10 now. 11/10, would recommend to even non-anime fans. MOB PSYCHO 100 - Ah yes, the episode that really cemented Reigen as my second husbando. Even with all the psychic battling going on, he stole the show. I feel kinda dirty about making him out to be the bad guy in this outdated political photoshop job. BLACK CLOVER - I just had a dumb smile on my face during the entirety of Charlotte's screaming running freakout. Also pleasantly surprised that most of the Blue Rose Knights are actually all about hetero relations, Sol's annoying gayness combined with their lacking character before now just made them look the same. Asta may have a terminal nun fetish, but he knows a tsundere when he sees one. (And considering their VAs are married IRL, seeing Asta justify Noelle's more tsun-tsun moments in his own way was kinda cute.) BALLMASTRZ - I fast-forwarded through this to get to the con-related stuff, and I'm kind of interested in checking it out in earnest now? Not yet, anyways - I still have the rest of the confirmed final season of Mike Tyson Mysteries to get through, plus the new season of Shivering Truth, and before all that getting caught up on 12 oz. Mouse - but eventually. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Orochimaru taking advantage of the fact that even his own subordinates want a piece of him was a creative way of justifying the Sound Four's single-minded vengeful characterizations, but still, thank god this mini-arc is over. And so the wait continues for that damn "fatty fatso" kid.

When two trash cartoons collide.

So far off the mark that he gets rioters at his door.

LAST TIME ON PARANOIA AGENT MOST MOE ANIME OF THE ACTN ERA, I TELLS YA.

On the positive side of things, I'm expecting some actual show announcements to make up for the practical dearth of them as of recent (for understandable reasons, natch). On the negative, if the special short tonight is another damn Rick & Morty plug... 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #79 - The 9th Universe's Kicking Basil vs. The 7th Universe's Majin Buu!! - TV-14LV 12:30 - Rick and Morty in: Genocider - TV-MAL 12:45 - Paranoia Agent #13 - The Final Episode - TV-14LSV - END 1:20 - Mob Psycho 100 #11 - Master ~Leader~ - TV-14LV 1:50 - Black Clover #126 - The Blue Rose's Confession - TV-PG 2:30 - Ballmastrz: 9009 #13 - Big Boy Body, Bigger Baby Boy Heart! Can You Endure the Pain of Love? Babyball, Discover It Now! - TV-14DLV 2:45 - Ballmastrz: 9009 #14 - Children of the Night Serenade Wet Nurse of Reprisal; Scream, Bloodsucker, Scream! - TV-14DLSV 3:00 - Naruto Shippuden #305 - The Vengeful - TV-PGV

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Heart Throb 10 Gungrave 24 What a duo of heartbreakers, these two.

Appare-Ranman! 4

It's gonna be another goddamn Rick & Morty short they spent a year's worth of budget on.

Endless Eight is much more palatable when it's A. after the fact, and B. watched with somebody you can poke fun at all the repetition with.

In due time.

12 oz. Mouse 6-7

Now Arvintel Media? They made some bad dubs. They also made Bryce Papenbrook a harem protagonist before Kirito was even (officially) published.

12 oz. Mouse 1-5

The Qwaser of Stigmata 6

FUN FACT: The studio the above two animators belong to is actually a subcontractor who's only ever worked primary production on two anime, both of which were co-pros. (eps 4-6 only)

Part II, IV and V, you mean. Part III was never dubbed, outside of that one Pink Jacket movie.
