"If, for whatever reason, you think the original Bebop was just too much, then this is the series for you!"

I actually joined the ASMB when I was 12 - I went there looking for more "songs used in each episode of Eureka seveN" lists than what was on TV.com and back then you needed an account to view the boards - and I kept quiet about that part enough that I avoided getting banned for it. The alt account I created to message character information for a Death Note community fan fiction to the writer - it was a requirement, for spoiler reasons - wound up getting banned, since you had to be 18 to use the PM function. Nayru outright told me I couldn't appeal to have it unbanned, unlike my original also-banned account to which Bast was unclear on whether or not I could appeal. My third ASMB account was the first one where I was completely honest in regards to age. Outside of some stupid things I said and butting heads with those who held grudges against my previous actions, things went smoothly in comparison. And once I had account #4, the bans came to an end and everything was (relatively) good from then on. And now you know why I was such an annoyance back then! 🤪

Don't tell me what to do, even if you are one of the coolest guys in the discussion.

Will you just shut the fuck up already? I'm willing to give you another fat waifu if that's what it'll take.

I'm guessing they're fixing the alleged problems with Ray Chase's mic. Wouldn't want Bucciarati to sound off compared to the rest. As for Ballmasterz, I'll allow it. But don't expect me to like it; I watched the first two episodes once and they just failed to appeal to me.

Appleseed (1988 OVA)

Don't forget the AIDS PSA!

Abbacchio didn't deserve this.

"If we're in your neighborhood, you better duck, 'cause TOM and SARA are crazy as fuck..."

This is some good reaction face material right here.

Gleipnir 9 I've recently been going through the videos of Kenny Lauderdale, the AniTuber I've most recently subscribed to, and decided to watch one of his out-of-context clips during the point where the commercial break for this episode would've been. Said clip was an infamously non-animated scene from the '80s OVA Twinkle Nora Rock Me, and as promised, it was gloriously terrible. But the weird part is, seeing the lack of in-betweens there gave me a brief moment of hyperawareness when I resumed Gleipnir. As in, I could actually see the individual animation frames in real time, bit by bit. It wore off after a while, but still, seeing animation so poor it's memeable not only makes you appreciate even the substandard, but it makes you see the substandard in similar terms what you just subjected yourself to. Or something, I'm not sure how to best put it. 😕

>ITAZ screencaps Ben status:

No, Elfie. No. Given was done by Lerche, not MAPPA. A Google search could tell you that much. Seriously, fact check your goddamn information before you post it like you're some sort of super-genius.

It's called the Smooze, and you're correct. PARANOIA AGENT - Since the old homeless lady's a minor focus this episode, allow me to share a brief observation I recently had with the OP. You have all these characters laughing in settings that seem dangerous, deadly, or even just a little bit off, right? Well, I always found the old lady laughing while standing on the table of a fancy restaurant to be awfully out-of-place... until I realized it represented something she, as one of Japan's homeless population, could never attain. A hopeless situation where insane laughter is appropriate, albeit in subtlety more than blatancy. A bit of class-based situational irony to contrast the mushroom cloud and mountaintop blizzard sandwiching it in. Just another reason "Yume no Shima Shinen Kouen" is one of the greatest anime openings of all time. 🏆 I don't think I ever noticed she was buying tights until just now. Kawazu just can't catch a break. "Weird, it doesn't normally pause like that." Homeless people have feelings too, but you should still take care in the event they try to shank you later. The fuck is with that one kid's voice? Repeated taunts are so annoying. Don't try anything weird because she said that, Hirukawa. Must be extra frustration from last week's RPG adventure. She was by herself... the whole time? If it's called "Maromi Catcher", why're there cats in one and kappa in the other? I always liked how close to reality this show portrayed Japan visually, from the buildings to the trains to the tatami-floor bedrooms. On the other hand, groupings of the three primary colors in anime freak me out, and that's one reason why I'm not exactly aiming to watch Concrete Revolutio right now. The phone call that saved Europe, this is not. Two packs of cigarettes later... I love how they're alternating between scenes like this. HIDETSUGU ITO SAKUGA SPOTTED. Old lady weighed so little she just got swept up in the gust of wind. Ohh, so it was fake after all. Does this count as a stand alone complex, or is it not widespread enough? I don't know what that sauce on the bottom of the Western Bacon Cheeseburger is, but I want a bottle of it right now. What is it with Ikari getting all the suspects who try to dodge his questions? You never hear people (outside of Zapp Brannigan) pronounce "karaoke" like that in English. I assume that's his computer. Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks to the Windows 98 days when pop-ups acted like they were the paint tool. At first, I didn't understand why this episode was rated TV-14S on the first run, but as I soon learned, greater context (and blink-or-you'll-miss-it teenage sideboob) is enough to tip the scales. Nowadays, into the territory of being an MA set. Not only did the CD player not deserve that, but it did shit against the camera. "Maniwa... get the pipe." Must be nice having a dad who doesn't secretly want to fuck you. It's like a window into the future by way of a present-time stand-in. "...Was that my grandmother?" At this point, I'd just toss it into the river. Old lady just knows how to make a clean exit, getting swept up in the current aside. Come to think of it, it is weird that Lil' Slugger would attack Tsukiko in the leg while everyone else got bonked on the head like one of the TV Puppet Pals. I do love that scene where Tsukiko gets hit by an invisible force, and the semi-famous GIF that scene spawned. (If only I could find it...) MAROMI IS STILL WATCHING YOU. That is a strangely clear sky; is that normal after monsoons? Turns out the old lady's granddaughter was a completely different woman this whole time. A surprisingly happy ending, for this show. Speaking of endings, this is truly an appropriate end to Hirukawa's overall arc. Did catching Lil' Slugger serve as a sort of personal redemption for all the criminal activity he engaged in to appease the yakuza extorting him? Sure, in a way. But how do you redeem yourself when your "call me Daddy" kink goes all the way down to installing a hidden camera to spy on his own daughter undressing? You don't. You just lose your house in a mudslide and then have a mental breakdown when your daughter, who was just attacked on the street while attempting to run away from home, forgets who you even are. That, my friends, is karmic retribution. And you don't need any buzzwords emphasizing how fucked-up his prior actions are to know that said retribution was completely deserved. Well, I don't. 😗 Next week, Ikari gets violent with the local chuunibyou in an episode guest directed by the guy who did Texhnolyze. Am I out of touch? No, it's J.J. Villard who is wrong. MOB PSYCHO 100 - I swear, Erik Scott Kimerer was born to voice perpetually smug prettyboys. Everyone's the main character of their own story; sadly, that role in your story belongs to Mob. 🤣 It's funny when Dimple gets hurt. "Call me Little Shige again and I'll exorcise you." "Okay, what about 'Shigechi', then?" "Not that either." That ghost face looks awfully familiar for some reason... Ctrl+Z, Reigen, you have to Ctrl+Z! I actually miss the days when I used to get ladybugs in the house, nowadays it's all stinkbugs and thousand-leggers. Didn't notice Crunchyroll subtitled that honorific for Mob the first time. I also completely forgot that Ritsu's character arc started this early on. My dad came in to brush the cat while I was watching this and he actually watched some of it; we had a brief conversation over the color of Dimple's lips (we settled on periwinkle) and broke into laughter at the Body Improvement Club Captain moving his pecs a la Barbados Slim. ("Dey do dat by demselves." ) YOU FOOL! THE BODY IMPROVEMENT CLUB NEVER SKIPS LEG DAY! Hey, at least he's trying. Dear god, they're even making songs about the "new normal" they're trying to push... 😫 The monsoons are back... We all wanna drop various terms to sound smart, I usually do it when the word shows up in GITS, like "conversationalist" or "press blackout". Not sure if DORA ORA ORA or ARI ARI ARRIVADERCI. Nothing's says girly like writing almost exclusively in hiragana. The less said about my few and far-between female admirers in middle school, the better. Never underestimate Mob's gullibility when it comes to the possibility of romance. I love how he specifies that the letter was under a dumbbell of all things. I value my life so much that I'd never even think of committing suicide, and I'd still follow the Body Improvement Club into hell were I among their ranks. Eugh, keep the tongue in your mouth where it belongs, guy. These guys are the biggest bros I've ever seen. Heh, that one dude got trampled. I'd immediately watch a spin-off about the Body Improvement Club, especially after that beatdown. "You aware of the term 'organized violence'? Well, that wasn't it." I don't think that's how taking the spotlight's supposed to work. Thanks to Kengan Ashura, Buff Erik Kimerer doesn't come off as weird to me as it should. You gotta move like water. I'm surprised Mob hasn't undone his ropes yet. Theeeeeere we go. SARA MOROYUKI SAKUGA SPOTTED. ALL OF IT. BLACK CLOVER - Neat, they did up the avant title different. Oh yeah, those two guys are still on the loose. Meanwhile, Asta's on literal autopilot. "NI**ER". Yeah, I'm actually having a bit of trouble trying to understand the action overall, that normally never happens when I watch Clover. "It hurt, but in a good way!" That's our Yuno, always the show-off. Question about these spells, do the users come up with the names themselves, or do they already exist and just appear in their repository of knowledge subconsciously? RIGHT IN THE THROAT. Or deep in the shoulder, that works too. Mouths, mouths everywhere. OH GOD EVEN HIS HEART HAS A MOUTH. You didn't "pierce his heart" so much as "tear through his shoulder". And here I thought the CG couldn't look cheaper than it already did. Why can't more loud and edgy shounen rivals be as clear-cut friendly with one another as Asta and Yuno? In lieu of commercial comments, check out this OC I found on Twitter who looks a little like Secre in the Prohibition Era. I can barely understand half of what this ugly mofo's even saying through his many mouths, but I'm sure Angel agrees with every, uhh, noise. "Shit, arm cramp!" I almost forgot Noelle had a fight of her own going on. And then all the relevant supporting characters gathered together because they sure as hell aren't getting more one-on-one time. Even Charmy doesn't like the Grimace. That crack doesn't look too healthy. (And that's gonna be misinterpreted.) Yuno's the best and he knows it. Something something PRETTYYY~. I give whoever edited that flashback montage together my kudos. It's like he's saying those things on purpose at this point. Ooh, you almost had it! Yami, you say that like you aren't the only foreigner to the supercontinent in the kingdom. FUCK YEAH HARUKA MIRAI. That's our Yami, securing the kill as always. I enjoy this show more than I rightfully should in the moments that count. I blame my current fascination with Studio Pierrot for this. VENTO AUREO - Yeah, that beach doesn't look like it's crawling with even natural wildlife. In eight to ten minutes, anything could happen! Holy shit, even on the verge of death, Risotto is a true badass. DON'T FUCK WITH METALLI-oh. Congratulations, you played yourself. SHIT COUNT: 1. Weird, I'd have assumed you'd tell it was him by the way he dressed. Man, Boss, it really isn't your day. Dammit people, this is a beach, not a parking lot and soccer field! We've gotten to the point where not even the frogs in this show are safe. Yeahhhhh I think this is gonna go badly too easily. Today's theme is also overcast skies. I still don't know what those hand signals mean specifically, but they sure look cool. Abbacchio's tired of all these future Millennials and their damn noise. Damn, I knew it was odd one of those soccer playing kids had Doppio's hairstyle. Speaking of whom, there he goes. KAKYOIN! Okay, even for JoJo, him dying that fast seems a little on the ridiculous side. There's no way to draw in viewers for PA than showing off Ikari's anger issues. And now for the obligatory "death episode" flashback montage. I like this random cop's way of thinking. You say there's a word for your kind, but I'm not hearing it. In fact, I'm hearing several. Well shit, turns out it was the afterlife this whole time. Meanwhile, the grieving process begins. Goddammit Narancia, your denial's out of control. Even if he could bring him back, maybe he doesn't want to. Damn, even knowing this was coming far ahead of time, and after several appearances in meme compilations at that, this is still tough to watch. Like, it's "Caesar's death" levels of tough. That facial imprint looks awfully familiar... And just like Caesar Zeppeli before him, his tragic death brought great progress for the teammates left behind. R.I.P. Abbacchio. Mista warned you not to eat that piece of cake, yet here we are. T_T7 Oh damn, they even gave him top billing as tribute. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Here's two voice actors on the opposite ends of the likability spectrum, hanging out together because some guy with Ninja Info Cards told them to. I forget, does Naruto know that Itachi was secretly a good guy this whole time? Compared to the classic OTN ninja mask (see: Kakashi, Zabuza, my adopted OCs), all others look ridiculous in comparison. OKAY SO WE'RE FIGHTING THEN. It's instant replays like this that make me question why they haven't just started playing the OPs again, even in a shortened form. I'll take Itachi's surprise as a sign that Naruto doesn't know he's a decent guy aside from the whole clan-slaying thing. Or maybe he does, that encounter with Madara was so long ago and behind so many layers of filler I'm honestly fuzzy on the details. "My body's moving on it's own!" I'm sure he's used that excuse before. OH MY GOD A GIANT ROCK. I do like how they're complementing their opponents' moves and warning them of their attacks like they're former allies and not former villains. That's a cerberus, Naruto. Aww yeah, I missed his seven-swords-at-once style. Could be better animated tho. And then it was a double cerberus. Of all the times for food poisoning to hit... REVERSE CROWJOB, GO! OHHHH FUCK SURPRISE JOJO AMV. You really pulled through for us this time around, Demarco. Guess that Gungrave screencap featuring your doppelganger did just the trick! And here's the customary flashback for those who don't remember the crow he jammed down his throat over a hundred episodes ago. The animation for said crow getting jammed down the throat still gives me the sensible chuckle. NOT EVEN KABUTO KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON. You are now imagining Crispin Freeman setting Vic Mignogna on fire with a single spoken phrase, and tell me, is it as hilarious as I described? Suck it, Kabuto. The perfect genjutsu for politicians. Okay, so if Shisui actually suicided, then who did Itachi kill to get his Mangekyo? And, of course, Kabuto ends up using this to his advantage. That's a huge chameleon. ANTI-AGING NO JUTSU. Dude, I think he's trying to rip your soul out.

I still think they should stunt-cast Jaden Smith as Sasuke, just to see how he reacts.
