The solution is simple: directly license long-forgotten '90s anime on the cheap side, dub them in-house at Williams Street, and claim that you're doing it to celebrate Sealab 2021.

Will you just shut up already? Nobody cares that you have so little faith in FUNimation that they won't even dub on an "every two weeks" schedule.

It was 5AM EST, with Moribito at 5:30. Luckily, Bandai and Media Blasters were pissed off enough that they forced [as] to move them back to more respectable times - which was how we got the whole "anime on Saturdays only" situation we had from 2008 onwards - so as bad as it was, things kind of worked out in the end.

Regarding Kekkaishi, I was just thankful that [as] was at least picking things new to the block up in 2010, even if it was just it and Brotherhood. After the huge swath of practical nothing in 2009, where the closest thing to "new" were the last 16 episodes of Moribito they had to negotiate for, even something as obscure and mediocre as Kekkaishi was welcome by my inconsistent standards.

Oh right, I must've overlooked those two. Neat, the one band I'm related to by blood is putting out music for [as] again. VENTO AUREO - Search all the databases! Nice touch, making what should be a really rigid death mask stretchy. The computer speaks! What a highly advanced communication interface for 2001. It always comes back to the special arrows from the special old lady. SPEEDBOAT! What is it about Doppio that makes him believe ordinary objects are phones? Hey, when you're part of the literal mafia, the deaths of comrades come with the territory. "The only way to deal with fear is with fear itself." Is it wrong that I want that little face on Emperor Crimson's forehead to speak, and in an inappropriately high-pitched tone at that? Sweet, more real-world history lessons. There are Inuits in Greenland? TOO SOON. Sometimes a strange virus gives you COVID, other times it gives you a STAND. REPLY TO ANGEL: "Wait if this was 1978, how did Avdol get his stand at birth?" I imagine the STAND virus is more of an aid in awakening STANDS in those who haven't awakened theirs already than a strict gifter of STANDs like these last two parts made it look. Check out those Stardust Crusader silhouettes. 😎 First the Pillar Men, now STAND arrows. Who'dve thought the Colosseum would be so important across multiple JoJo parts? You gotta love random drunks. Them falling victim to some sort of enemy supervirus... not so much. No surprise, it's an enemy STAND. [random didgeridoo noises] When it comes to f'ed up supporting villains in JoJo, it's hard to beat out Doctor Death and his personal gimp. He's using an actual phone, what is reality. Even Diavolo is disgusted by that guy, and the man tried to kill his own daughter! It was a toy phone, all is right with the world but not Doppio's head. Narancia, this is the freaking capital of Italy we're talking about, it ain't no "village". Attack of the killer mold. Welp, Narancia's dead. Okay, so to avoid getting this killer mold, I just have to climb, climb, climb. That's a random fact for Giorno to know. As a wise man in a red jacket once said, explosions fix everything. Cioccolata likes to watch. "Mystery Man: DOUG ERHOLTZ". Oh, so it was Polnareff. MOB PSYCHO 100 - BONES may have an extremely spotty track record with their finales - Soul Eater, Eureka AO, the FMA movie which shall not be named - but when they hit, they hit dead-on. And this season of Mob is probably their biggest hit of all (and I say this partly as a Reigen stan). This episode alone proves the series worthy of being my #3 anime, and maybe even #2 or #1 once Demarco and Crunchyroll get off their collective asses and allow season 2 on the block. 11/10. BLACK CLOVER - He's still a little whispery, but Gordon's more audible than usual this week, and I approve. No one really wants to hang out with a kid who's genetically reminiscent of a panda. Aw fuck, he brought the two worst gimmicks along with him. "They're a little strange themselves, but they're good people." Okay, so they're like doms but without safe words. I hate that Gauche actually has common sense about things. Also, damn his chemistry with Grey for making me chortle. Introducing, the Manson Family. You don't have to put on the red light. What is it with animals attacking Asta? Gauche you're in love with your sister, you have no right to mentally accuse others of committing actual incest. Oh boi is that sum haggis I see over there? I know senility's no laughing matter, but Gordon's grandma losing track of the bread is challenging that notion. Asta don't discriminate when it comes to tasty shit. That's easily one of Grey's better faces. What a dramatic exit. [slams the Easy Button] Come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab... "If you stay, I can teach you about every caus of death there is." Even the ones that don't make a lick of sense? Gordon's dad is a better physician than Cioccolata, even before the whole "doing good with instruments of evil" reveal. What we got here is a failure to communicate. Oh hey, she's still awake. Damn, Noelle's taller than her. "Everyone believing something doesn't make it true." Something today's media takes advantage of all too much. Turns out she's a sacrificial queen in more than just Dewey Novak's male-equivalent definition of the term. [slams the Easy Button again] The walls have ears, especially outdoors. Mmm, dream tea. I'm not even surprised that there's an Asta here. I bet their VAs recorded this scene together, considering this is another "recording-from-home" episode. That curse must've been pretty bad, if sibling abuse was the preferred alternative. Oh god, he's become Gauche. CURSE MAP, GO! Everybody in the Black Bulls is a little off, don't kid yourself. It's a curse we here in America like to call "lactose intolerance". You just wanted an excuse to punch him didn't you. The flame's so big you can't see the candle anymore, so of course it's super important. What the fuck is this puppet strip club bullshit, did Demarco spring another random music video on us while I wasn't looking? NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Oh dang, Hyuga flashback episode. I bet you anything this is what they were doing while Team 7 was trying to unmask Kakashi. She's probably flashbacking to their Chunin Exam fight during these less successful spars. Oh hey, I recognize this scene! From online, that is. So is she turning this third wheel situation into a double date, or... Don't mind her, she's just got Naruto on the brain. "Shit, I must've worked her too hard." There goes that flash of the tail end of the OP again. Walking on top of the railing is such a Naruto thing for him to do. And so the misunderstandings begin. Dammit Sakura, you of all people should know you're not supposed to pick your friends' noses, even by accident! Meanwhile, Hinata's getting used to not using her eyes. Giving the silent treatment a whole new meaning. Of all the filler phlebotniums I've heard thus far, "eyebright" is easily the most unimaginatively named. Sounds like backwards foreshadowing of Neji making it to the level of jonin first. "Traveling in the same direction, are we..." And this is obviously foreshadowing for how the final pairings come Boruto would turn out (minus the hearts coming off of Sasuke, natch). Now Sakura's the one who can't catch a break. No one expects enemies in the DMZ! Destiny is the same. SUDDENLY GUY-SENSEI. And Kakashi too. It always comes back to Orochimaru in this time period, doesn't it. Oh hey, Naruto's looking kinda cool (read: QUALITY) again. They didn't see anything... ever. And there's the obligatory cameos from the other genin. Truth be told, this was a pretty lame episode. So lame, even Black Clover trumped it. [and that's saying something]

It's mostly manservice, so naturally Demarco will leave it untouched.

That's right, and it was easily the most tearjerking death of a squad member for any JoJo since Caesar. Hell, we even got to see what the JoJo-verse afterlife looks like, that's something you don't normally see (outside of Reimi's street in Morioh)!

Damn those Japanese TV executives and their obsession with giving different names to each season of non-continuous anime...

Dude, we don't live in the Central Time Zone like you apparently do. Just say 8PM EST like the Tweet you posted.

Dear diary, today Demarco was actually kinda cool. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super #80 - Awaken Your Dormant Fighting Spirit! Gohan's Fight!! - TV-14LV 12:30 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind #29 - Verso il Colosseo di Roma - TV-MAV 1:00 - Mob Psycho 100 #12 - Mob and Reigen ~A Giant Tsuchinoko Appears~ - TV-14LV 1:30 - Black Clover #127 - Clues - TV-PG 2:00 - Ballmastrz: 9009 #15 - When You Wish Upon a Spore - TV-14LV 2:15 - Ballmastrz: 9009 #16 - Can't Stand the Heat? Ultimate Kitchen Technique! Finish Them, Warrior Bard!! - TV-14LV 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #306 - The Heart's Eye - TV-PG 3:00 - Samurai Jack #55 - XCIV - TV-14V But I'm still mad (for Gunners' sake) that he hasn't gotten the Mob 2 issues sorted out yet.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind 28 Rewatched my saved recording from a couple months back with my uncle to prep for the return of premieres to Toonami. My dad passed through the room while we were watching and said that Giorno had "nice tits".

Appare-Ranman! 5

I'm just glad Flowers of Evil isn't among the titles to be removed. I'd feel about as dirty as Kasuga, relying on alternate means for the last two episodes after watching the first 11 legally.

Kengan fucking Ashura. If you can get past all the CG-animated characters, it's a fun time watching dudes beat on each other in a variety of ways. Also Kuromukuro. It'd be my favorite anime of 2016 if not for Mob coming out that same year.

And that would be probable sarcasm. Demarco comes off as a sarcastic kind of guy, so if he did say it, that's probably how he said it.

That... doesn't prove that he hated Progressive and Alternative. Just that he was expecting people to bring up Progressive and Alternative as their personal picks for "worst take(s)", and that they came at him later than he was personally anticipating.

If they don't use at least one of the songs from Amon Tobin's Chaos Theory soundtrack, I'm gonna riot. Honestly tho, their use in IGPX is satisfactory enough.

Wal-Mart is a perplexing place.

The more you do something, the easier it gets. It's basic common sense.

You don't need to ask Demarco to know that the answer is "FUNimation wanted to make as much money back on it as they could".
