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.

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.

Air 5

25 going on 26 (read: I age up this Friday) and no. I don't really plan to be published because A) my career path is geared more towards engineering than literature, and B) I don't want editors telling me I should alter the overall vision I have for whatever works I wish to write. I have gotten close by writing up a hypothetical anime of (mostly) my own creation, which can be read here, if you wish to check it out.

If Asta's so good with the ladies, then why hasn't he gotten Sister Lily to say yes to one of his many proposals yet? (Before you say anything, yes I know she's a fucking nun, I'm being facetious you dolts. 😝)

Good news, [as] is giving FUNi the chance to catch up in the dubbing on their end, and using their special night of programming to do so. Additional silver lining to all you haters, no BC for you to deal with!

Ikebukuro West Gate Park 1

As a wise man once said, "insanity" is best defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Which is reason #1 I don't even try to argue my opinion as superior to others, and just accept the fact that some people just dislike things I don't.

Ikebukuro West Gate Park (J-Drama) 11 I don't think I've ever had this much fun watching a live-action show since Brooklyn Nine-Nine (back before it went full liberal). Legitimately great stuff, clearly aged but aged well. 11/10. And with this, I can finally watch the anime undeterred when it drops tomorrow.

I know. Hence my cheeky response. 😙

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle: Rhyme Anima 1

Such is the way of Studio Pierrot. VENTO AUREO - Welp, there goes Doppio. HE'S COMIN' RIGHT FOR US! My dad's in here brushing the cat and pointed out that he liked Trish from what he saw of her so far, so I had to explain that it was Mista controlling her body (and that she was 14 or 15, just to be safe). When all else fails, just blame Diavolo. GO LONG! Oh no, he's mutating. This is some Cronenberg shit right here. Instant evolution's a son of a bitch, ain't it? He's a Joestar, he knows what he's talking about. MOOOOOOOOLE. It's like M. Night Shyamalan's Devil, only out in the open instead of in an elevator. "You can discern souls?" Of course, Giorno grows new powers as the plot demands it. And so the student becomes the master. Dammit Mista just cooperate for once. "We've wasted too much time on bickering!" is what I think whenever Ben argues with Angel or TG about Black Clover. Okay so... whose body was he in again? 🤔 The Sissification Castle spares no one, not even Tigtone! Okay, now I believe he was hiding out in Mista's body. Crazy how time works when people regularly fuck with it. I take it that's another famous Italian structure. That dude just opened his third (and fourth) eye. Shadow shenanigans. Yep, looks like you're gonna have to pull a Gecko Moria on this one. "Take that, sun!" [snaps fingers] And then Diavolo was Ants in My Hands Johnson. Poor guy, never got to use his extra eyes to their fullest potential. SHIT COUNT: 2. She is rubber, and he is... well, we don't know what he is, but it ain't glue, I guarantee you that. KAKYOIN! Uhh, at least I think that was Kakyoin-worthy. ASS CLASS - "You sound like one of those OSU Newark students." t. My dad reacting to me showing my disdain for Kunugigaoka main campus. He also pointed out that Koro-sensei moving everywhere would give you a stroke, and claimed it was what Woodrow Wilson watched before he had his stroke (which I added was by way of Grover Cleveland's time machine, #SaveVentureBros). He's got a fuckin' Naruto headband on. Karma, you cad. You dick, that was a perfectly good Rubik's Cube! Koro-sensei is the true anti-hero of our time. Oh boy here I go hating on main campus again. 😒 Wait, was that the same teacher who Karma persona non grata'd after his personal Top 10 Anime Betrayal? SHOOT THIS MAN. SHOOT THIS MAN IN THE HEAD AND FUCK HIM IN THE EXIT WOUND. "It's like he's turning into a parody of himself." And even if not, it's still more of a parody than Black Clover wishes it was. He's teaching you so hard because fuck main campus, that's why. Admit it, you'd watch a Koro-sensei lawlharem too. Oho, he's pissed. A hamburger and sliced beef on a single sandwich? Dammit, Hardee's, you've gone too far and I kinda love you for it! In other words, fuck main campus by sucking (up to) main campus. Plans on top of plans on top of plans. Assassination is complicated. And finally, I understand what Abe Simpson was trying to say when voting against fixing Springfield's Main Street. TORNADO TIME. Now it looks like a proper Japanese schoolyard. Please flatten main campus for me, Koro-sensei. Wait, so they have to take their tests on main campus too? That's a little unfair if you really think about it. Oh screw off, Croczilla, go back to Louisiana where you belong. My skills may be rusty from spending five months as a NEET, but I could handle that problem. And then Croczilla turned into FishCenter Live. Yeah, keep shitting in your cheap tighty-whities like the fragile ego personified you are, main campus trash. Aw shit, it's a Laplace transform. I WILL STRANGLE GAKUHO ASANO TO DEATH WITH MY BARE HANDS, THROW HIS BODY INTO A GODDAMN MEAT GRINDER, AND FEED THE RESULT IN MAIN CAMPUS'S CAFETERIA. I eagerly await the moment someone tells someone else, anyone else, from main campus to fuck off, word for word. Wha... huh. 😶 Well, extra question or not, A's are A's, there's no changing that. The important thing here is at least 51 students out of 168 scored a perfect. Nobody puts E-Class in the corner and lives to get away with it, FUCK MAIN CAMPUS! Damn, that split-second Koro-sensei in drag I saw at the end was so split-second I can't even single out a frame of it on my recording. Glad to see he's finally switching noses, the old one was a little big and, I'm ashamed to say, stereotypically American for my taste. BLACK CLOVER - Wait, there are other women in the Crimson Lion Kings besides Mereoleona? I bet you anything she won't be involved in this "important matter" and that's why Angel's salty over this week's BC filler being especially terrible. Good news is Mereoleona is involved (as is Fuego), bad news is so is Kirsch and his fruity ego. That look on Mimosa's face screams, "please, God, anywhere but here". Even Fuegoleon is on edge! Could be a top-secret mission, could be a filler plot that has no bearing on anything. Behind curtain #1 is the old nun from holy shit 100 episodes ago. Huh, she's been a nun for less time than I first thought. (Come to think of it, I do remember her being a magic knight in the past...) He only said it the way he did because it sounded cool. "This is the worst secret mission ever!" Sometimes I wonder why I laugh at this stupid shit, probably because I've channeled all my anger elsewhere. Little Fuego, Little Marco, Little Shige, even Little Richard. I just can't help but enjoy those kinds of nicknames. [sigh] Goddammit Kirsch, know when to shut the fuck up. Training does take priority in this universe. BRING IN THE FOOD. Oh boy, another episode with Gauche's sister but no Gauche! [commencing betrayal of expectations in 3, 2... now.] Leave it to Gauche to disguise himself as a kid out of his typical overprotectiveness. REPLY TO ANGEL: "Fuck this shit I'm out." Okay, I'll let you know when the show gets back to canon, regardless of whether or not you do return then. Oi, get me summa dem snags while yer at it, mate. Of course the other occupant of my personal bottom 2 in the Black Bulls would be behind this sudden case of age regression. And now it's time for stupid party tricks! "Cheetle" is not a word, nor will it ever be a word, no matter how much you want it to be. Jotaro can show you what a party trick is with nothing but 5 cigarettes, a lighter, and a bottle of orange soda. Shut up, Kirsch. Yes, cheer on your voice's wife's character. I can't stay mad at an episode that's roasting Gauche this thoroughly. I was hoping for bodybuilding poses, but that's too disturbing for the kids, so plate-spinning it is. I'll admit, that is impressive he can do that with such a heavy sword. Huh, almost forgot Secre was here too. 👏 I'm so into this I don't even know why I'm applauding. Uh-oh, it's Little Fuego's turn. "Might I offer you some eggs in these trying times?" Not only boiled, but boiled at three-separate temperatures. Now that's skill. And of course, it's much too technical for the kiddies to really give a shit. Sisgoleon, meanwhile, goes right to traumatizing them. Huh, so training too hard can stunt your growth, that might explain why Asta's mana potential is drier than Death Valley at its absolute hottest. BEARS! Accidental pyromania, ain't it a bitch? Oh Asta, you really have trouble reading the room and its cohabitants. I take it she just slapped him because using her water magic would've drawn too many bedwetting comparisons (and also made a mess of things). Here come(s) the grudge(s). I was never the "fighting" type of sibling; I'm more one who fights with words than with fists anyways, which makes me perfect for the Internet! Mimosa's always been like this about her brother, she only shows it whenever he's around for long periods of time. Gauche, you dumbass. It really is funny when Gauche gets hurt. Leave it to the HNIC (the N stands for nun in this case) to have a handle on this sort of thing. I can't believe it took BC 134 episodes to break out the 100-ton comedy sledgehammer. And so the roasting of Gauche continues. Hard to believe that Asta and Noelle were the most civil of the bunch. It's nice to have people who care about you. Not sure if sarcasm or a hint that mana can actually extend the aging process into Futurama levels of old. (Come to think of it, I don't think anybody in BC, past or present, has even died of old age...) Huh, something special and extra-long must've happened during Fire Force for its ED to run over into my Naruto recording like this. SHIPPUDEN - "He's not one of those white guys..." You can tell I'm hard to offend because I am white and I found that line actually pretty funny. When he cries, the Earth cries with him. It's snowing... indoors? Not five seconds of "dialogue", and this kid is already officially annoying. Apparently Team 8 and Neji are doing the "attack everyone and see who transforms into a Zetsu" maneuver. PURPLE LIGHTNING. Oh god there's three of them. And then there's Naruto, running in the classic fashion that's used by everyone but his own son. It's ninja rain, meaning it's twice as powerful as normal rain. IT ME. That's another filler character brought back to life just for this stretch of filler for the bingo book. For this flashback, we're goin' way, wayyyy back; back to when Naruto was a pariah first and class clown second. That's right, we're going... pre-episode 1! It still seems odd to me that Team 10's the only one who had all 6 of their parents around. Weather's strange, nobody knows how it works, not even the meteorologists. "If only we were old enough to just run up this tree!" Huh, I wonder if that's what happened to those uprooted trees in that woodland I've been visiting recently. That is the fakest-sounding forced laughter I think I've ever heard. Weather for sale, get your weather for sale! He must have some type of amnesia power, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. See, told you weather makes no sense in ninja world. Plenty of boys look and sound like girls, that's why we call them femboys. He's everywhere and nowhere, for whatever that means. I always liked this piece of background music. You pushed the fat button; you shouldn'ta done that. Nothing fills you up like carbohydrates, and chips and onigiri are full of those things! Kid's got a big stomach if he ain't full after that. Oh, so now you make the connection. Oh no, his feelings are contagious. I can imagine Kabuto manipulating him to cry just to annoy these guys. None of these grunts know what the hell is going on here. Now for Sakura's flashback. Too many groups of people she'd be butting in on. And here's the obligatory Sasuke cameo because clearly we haven't had enough of those lately. Stealing lunch like Emperor Crimson steals lives. Huh, so that's what the front of the academy building looked like back then. SECRET BASE. The animators sure are failing at their job drawing Sakura's billboard brow properly. The snow is sinister. Those are some giant ass rain droplets. Looks like we'll be getting Kiba's side of the story next week. Naruto just doesn't understand. And yet Naruto filler is the worst Pierrot shounen adaptation filler of all. [as history has proven]

Elfie, your weeaboo is showing. ["where!?"]
