If there's one thing that can be said about AgK, it's that no one who's seen it hates it more than those who saw it on Toonami. Also, memes.

I didn't think OPM S2 was that awful, but when your first season's done beyond justice by Madhouse, anything less leaves much to be desired.

Looks like it's just a bunch of salty anti-FUNi tweeters to me.

Wait, if they haven't even recorded the dub yet, why is there an extensive cast listing already posted on ANN?

You say that like exterminators unafraid of COVID across the country aren't already working on a way to combat them if they ever go out beyond Washington State.

Let's hope ufotable takes that suggestion to heart, then. MY HERO ACADEMIA - YO HO HO HE TOOK A SIP OF GUM GUM. Since Gentle Criminal's quirk relates to rubber, until it's revealed, I'm just going to assume La Brava's relates to glue. Nobody likes you, Monoma. Now those are some illegal (but not in Paraguay) eyelash implants. I don't really understand Power Loader's helmet. Is it part of his natural body, or just a decoration he never takes off? HELLOOOOOO MIDNIGHT. 😍 Depends on if you call fighting potential trespassers "naughty". I worry that crane's gonna crash into someone's house, given what he said. Aw boo, we have to wait for her quirk to show up. The secret word of the day is "strategery". Oh shit backstory time. I understand stalking is weird and kind of criminal, but calling it "gross" just reeks of modern-day FUNi script changes. (Even if it isn't as bad as some of their other alterations...) And then a YouTube video saved her life. The dark circles are actually kind of attractive, very domino mask-esque. 🥰 God these two make the best couple. That is a very specific quirk, but surprisingly useful too, just like a STAND. Even Present Mic knows this reveal is too serious and surprisingly heart-felt for him to shout about it at the top of his lungs as he normally does. JUDO CHOP. I don't know whether to think of this as impressive or contrived that he's still awake after that hit. When I see Bummer TOM, my initial thoughts are less "oh no Coronavirus" and more "oh no Toonami's gonna die soon". I like how they integrated the school logo into the custom "FESTIVAL" sign. The Nezu and Cementoss balloons too. SANDWICH METAPHORS. Oh shit second backstory time. Judging from his age and rank, it looks like he was held back a year. Wait, did he say his last name was "Togata"? 😮 Random giraffe man. Oof, no amount of "it's the thought that counts" can possibly make up for how bad a fuck-up that was. Oh, "Tobita". I understand you're mad at him, but that's no excuse to throw things at him! I'll be honest, being forgotten IRL is a fear of mine too, one I didn't even think to consider until now. Considering everything, I'm not surprised he took to supervillainy like a midair fish to water. Gentle approves of your resolve. Ah, the one flaw of these types of write-ups: paying so hard attention that no comments come to mind. As someone with a parent from St. Louis, I'll admit Deku's finisher there got me excited. It's almost adorable watching her pound her fists against him like that. At least this way, Deku won't get as caught up in whatever aftermath follows. He has a villain's seal of approval, a higher honor than it actually is. But seriously though, Gentle's mom throwing things at him as he was leaving home was a little much, even for the show where Bakugo unironically told Deku to kill himself in the first episode. It's strange seeing these Trolli commercials so early in the block. DEMON SLAYER - At this point it's just some kind of genitalia measuring contest between these two. Centered and against a black screen, how fitting for the final episode. Okay, I'm unironically loving this super-detailed and extensive CGI setpiece. It looks like a one-off promotional/music video, this whole scene is great. 😁 Presenting, Rule 63 Kibutsuji. (I'd have called him something else, but apparently it's hateful language even if the subject is completely fictitious. ) Huh, I thought you were just predicting what he was going to say. Shiiiiiiiit that's a lotta blood. The lesson here is, don't fuck with Trap!Kibutsuji. Good luck trying to find the exit there, buddy. He got you the same way he teleported you to him in the first place. The more I hear Kibutsuji speak, the more I hate his guts. $20 says pseudo-Vic over here dies the most brutally because he's clearly sucking Muzan's dick with his words. Scratch that, it's a fate that just feels worse than the others' deaths. Meanwhile, in the present, we're going westward bound. What's so great about Microsoft Teams? Because it's new? Thanks for the recommendation, Shinobu. Those veins on the blind dude's face make him look like a melon rind. Heyyyy, it's the "when do we get our freaking swords" guy! That girl's face looks like it's stuck on permanent tsuntsun mode. Kanao's aversion to speaking still disturbs me something fierce. AT LAST SHE SPEAKS! What a progressive interaction. Welcome to the world of being a sad Natsuki Hanae-voiced anime boy admirer, Kanao. TRAINING COMPLETE. Demon Slayer JYB is a man of few but important words. To the west, everybody! Now that I think about it, trains are kind of like mechanical dragons. He's not dense, he's appealing to Inosuke's line of reason to convince him to stand down. Goddammit, Zenitsu, shit like this is why you're the worst. Fuck off, train station attendants. It's easy to forget that Demon Slayers are more or less supposed to be secret agents. Okay, now to the west, everybody. Yes, the bond between Tanjiro and Nezuko is an important one, but that doesn't make her any less of a non-character in the episodes where she doesn't have any legitimate lines. TO BE CONTINUED IN THE THEATERS (ENDANGERED SPECIES). Considering the Lower One's VA replaced Vic as his character in Bungo Stray Dogs, my earlier comment totally makes sense. Overall, it was a good show with great action setpieces, though it needed less Zenitsu and more Nezuko being consistently more than just a plot device, meme and demon burrito daughteru all in one. 9/10, you better believe I'm watching that sequel movie once it's dubbed. PARANOIA AGENT - Damn, should've guessed they'd shorten the OP. (And it's nice to see that FUNi's visual shortening methods still suck. ) Hey, remember back when JYB used to occasionally voice act under a fake name? This boy is a future narcissist in the making. He's practicing his smile like it's a trademark. It looked kinda off there, so no wonder they rushed past you. Considering the color of his skates and that bat he was using, I'm not surprised they think he's Lil' Slugger. Damn, that graphic artist's render looks exactly like him. No one ever suspects the friendly fat kid. "It must be the pig!" But he's a cow, at least that's what the name suggests. Ah yes, the classic "desk graffiti" method of bullying. I had a background character in one chapter of Kunoichi throw his desk out a window over that sort of thing. Aren't nosy co-workers annoying, even when they're subtle? I love Ikari's endless frustration. No, he's just sarcastic. This reminds me of my brief stint in pee-wee soccer where I kept chasing after the ball because no one kicked it to me. "Everyone is manipulated by the media, what a bunch of idiots." Easily the most relevant statement in today's climate. There's the cow comparison. Who needs peers your age when you have a tutor who could easily be a MILF with or without children of her own? Adult intervention is likely to backfire, even if the chances of it turning out that way are scant. Pig, cow, weasel, make up your mind what animal he is! Politics: not even once. The biggest mystery in this show is who photographed their one-sided confrontation. Kids not turning off their cell phones during class is something I can see happening in the real world. It is suspicious he'd still defend him after that hostile confrontation earlier. I think Maniwa and Ikari are the reason why I like detectives as protagonists. Why are anti-tobacco commercials so shit at being tolerable? To be fair, this kind of is a TV cop show, at least half the time. Come to think of it, you never really get a good look at Lil' Slugger's eyes, do you? Well that roots out any possibility of it being a 100% personal deal. It's kind of hard to arrest the real assailant when you don't even know who it is. If it looks too good to be true, then it usually is, especially when it's a straight-up scenario. All that food, and no one to share it with. Elementary school kids aren't exactly the best at accepting things at face value. I never noticed that award name was altered to say "golden bat" before. The things you pick up on the second watch, I guess. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "What's with the tree?" I'm guessing it's his school craft project, like the robot was Yuuichi's. Turns out he was genuine after all. It's amazing how his inner thoughts are making him out as worse than the gossip around him being Lil' Slugger actually are. That "sad face" shot makes him look like a younger Maniwa. And just as suddenly as he appeared, he was gone. It's like looking into the world's most twisted funhouse mirror. Appparently Tsukiko's hair is only brown whenever she's in her apartment. And so the police's suspicions arise even further. The "1" is obviously symbolic, by the way. At the distance he hit that ball, it might actually go into traffic. Heh, even the video recorders in this show captured his tooth sparkle. And then things got way too psychedelic. YASUNORI MIYAZAWA SAKUGA SPOTTED. I like to think all the out-of-focus ambiguous cheering and screams is the people who witnessed Yuuichi getting attacked reacting with concern for his safety, as people normally do on impulse. Dang, I didn't even know the Old Spice Guy had a son. [one brunch, a televised graduation ceremony, and most of a bottle of strawberry hard cider later] BLACK CLOVER - I'm not seeing where the lie is in his statement. "I knew this all along, but I didn't tell anybody." Not exactly lying, but definitely disloyalty. And I assume that "Grimoire of Despair" was Asta's? IT BEGINS. That's honestly the gayest looking devil I've ever seen, and I include Him in that statement. Leave it to the new guy to be completely overpowered. FUCK YEAH ASTA. I wonder how long he knew he was gonna show up. As OP as his Word Soul Magic is, I like the smash cuts to black and music cutting out whenever he says something to turn the tables. THREE FREEZE. Speaking of whom, where is Licht? This is how it felt for all of you when Aizen did literally anything isn't it. Even Rades is getting freaked out by all this bullshit. An "ugly, stupid piece of trash" defines this Him wannabe perfectly. With good rivalries comes good teamwork. Oh great, now the devil's a commie. I prefer my dark elves purple, TYVM. Not just light, but black light! When you've gone full demon, who needs ki? He's going to the nearest gay bar, I'm guessing. I do love the webgen effects they bust out for these action sequences. There is no understanding dark elves with gray skin, even if they are just as attractive in female form as the purple variety. VENTO AUREO - A Joestar on a plane? That can't be good... 😰 I do like the sound of that acronym. That's two people suspicious of Bruno's sudden lack of proper response to normally painful wounds. This dude makes Pesci look like he has a neck. [presses the Easy Button] "Fact is, he sucks and we don't." "You're goddamn right!" I love Mista and his STAND(s). Narancia looks like he's wondering what there is to do on this long and boring plane ride. So your mother banged the boss while on a resort trip, that doesn't really tell us anything other than she may have been a THOT. I have a feeling this is gonna turn into Tower of Gray 2: Italian Boogaloo. STICKY FINGERS. My dad was in here brushing the cat and he assumed the gang was some type of "futuristic Village People" based on their flamboyant manner of dress. (And now I wanna see the gang actually dressed like the Village People, that's just terrific...) I'M TIRED OF THESE STUPIDFRICKING FINGERS ON THIS STUPIDFRICKING PLANE. [presses the Easy Button again] Sweet, window graffiti. If only I could read Italian, then all this would make sense (sort of). Oh wow they actually physically changed the lettering to match dub name change. Turns out it was Empress 2 all along. That's what you get for touching the suspicious-looking guy's corpse before you boarded the plane, Giorno. I'm actually sort of glad I didn't watch Season 4 of Rick & Morty because it really doesn't look all that appealing. Oh good, they realized it was a STAND, no funny business. Trust me, I've forgotten everything I know about STANDs the moment yours started pulling all sorts of powers out its butt. Oh, so it's also Cheap Trap 2. And it's also the Thing. I still can't get over the fact that Narancia's STAND is just a model airplane with real bullets. If only Fugo weren't such a coward. Of course it makes sense it's after Trish. 😮 Badass as the other JoJos are, I don't think any of them are as hardcore as Giorno is when push comes to shove. Who'd have thought this would be the team's darkest hour? I can imagine how that conversation would go... "Giorno's lost both of his arms!" "Good!" I don't trust that reflection. Oh god this is just as tense as your average horror movie. I'm expecting the scare chord any moment now... OH JEEZ THAT WAS FAST. She isn't screaming her lungs out, that puts her steps ahead of all other horror movie victims of the female persuasion. Giorno Giovanna always plans ahead! We have no other choice, it's time to awaken your hidden abilities. POWER - This episode was directed by a staff member at Pierrot who wound up dying at the office in 2017 due to what was believed to be overwork. He only had two series under his belt but numerous theme song animations, including Bleach OP10. I'd have probably used him as staff in Kunoichi, if not for circumstances. As for what's actually happening in-episode, I honestly didn't expect the neighboring village chief to be the villain this whole time. Looks like Kabuto's destined to be an accessory no matter what he does. Shit, those scars look like they hurt when he got them. He's only a nobody in your eyes, you filler villain. Welp, so much for them being stealthy about it. Ohhh, is he gonna do what I think he's gonna do? It ain't exploding snakes, but it's close enough. Oh yeah that's that tune she was humming. This giant cylinder is very Neo Ranga-esque. Which only begs the question of how a wanted mass murderer wound up becoming a village chief to begin with. UNLEASH THE CLONE. You advertise HBO's new streaming service, and not a single second of the Sopranos? That just ain't right. Hidan looks a little snakier now. "Naruto..." You better believe it. You'd think ninjas would be immune to smokescreens, but I guess not. When the Juggalo makeup goes on, you know shit's gonna get real. Or maybe it's when all the clay stuck to the enemy corpses starts glowing, it's hard to tell which one's more dangerous. He's finally curing his dark side of his bad case of worms. Wait, so does this mean I can reasonably give rank this episode as THE HEART level? Suicide bombing... unsuccessful. You suck, Hidan. Never underestimate one's ability to headbutt their way to victory. Oh shit, the Neo Ranga cylinder is evolving! And there goes all the water. I'm a real sucker for CGI setpieces like this, even if they don't make a whole lot of sense. His arm, his jutsu! Crap, Hidan, you really do suck. I do love Shikamaru's ability to think ahead in more ways than most people. I'm not sure what all this is leading up to, but I just know it ain't good. Now kick him off the tower, Naruto. Now that... is freaky as shit. At least Fairy Tales looks better than King Star King, but that still won't make me want to watch it.

Mamoru Oshii, the director of the original Ghost in the Shell film.

...What the fuck are you talking about?

He's already gone on record saying he doesn't like Franxx, so I think we're safe.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! 5 I do not like Catarina's mother. She seems to be stuck in 24/7 bitch mode every time she's onscreen.

Can you believe the animated canon of Demon Slayer after the first season continues in a movie Toonami will never air because Demarco hates fun, even if it's for admittedly correct reasons? 12:00 - My Hero Academia #85 - School Festival Start!! - TV-14 12:30 - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #26 - New Mission - TV-MAV - SEASON FINALE 1:00 - Paranoia Agent #2 - The Golden Shoes - TV-14LV 1:30 - Black Clover #115 - Mastermind - TV-14V 2:00 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind #24 - Notorious B.I.G. Chase - TV-MALV 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #294 - Power: Episode 5 - TV-PGV It's like he wants us to watch it outside of Toonami when he inevitably picks up the equally inevitable season 2.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! 13

From what I remember, Betterman was the very first 16:9 TV anime. GITS and Paranoia Agent were just among the first 16:9 TV anime to air on [as].

There's no excuse for you not knowing this already.

Network - 10/10

I personally think he just wants to fuck them.

Speed Racer.

Imagine an original anime that had a very well-developed romance and a surprisingly happy ending achieved through 50 episodes of heavy subject matter. Then give it a sequel focusing on the main couple's son that gives itself an even more convoluted plot that proceeds to squander said happy ending so bad it ruins the first series forever for the Buzzfeed commenter types. And give it an OVA where the main character is forced to crossdress for a news story that he and his teammates are running away from for some stupid reason for good measure. Granted, I wasn't as ass-blasted by AO's ending as others, and I honestly don't give two shits about The Last of Us, so my comparison isn't the most accurate. But considering the implications that LoU 2 squanders most of the good will from LoU 1, the comparison to E7 and AO is the best I can make with what little I have to go off of.

It's the Eureka seveN AO of games.

PA already premiered on [as] fifteen years ago, so no matter how many times the topicals say the next episode is "all new", it technically isn't a premiere, therefore it's ineligible for the "top cable originals" list.

I hate to say it, but your replies to him about the virus are just as off-topic as his bringing them up in the first place.

Unfortunately, Count Frylock and Elfie have made it their mission to give us all depression by bitching about it for no other reason than to up their post count. If only they were aware that ignoring the impulse to post was an option!
