Kabukicho Sherlock 18 Damn, this episode was way darker than I'd have guessed from the title.

You say that like people don't pick apart and criticize every word of the good news he delivers. 🙃

The Qwaser of Stigmata 1 (rewatch)

The first time SAO comes on with a new episode and I too am thinking "Oh Christ, not again." 11:00 - My Hero Academia #76 - Infinite 100% - TV-14LSV 11:30 - Dr. Stone #23 - Wave of Science - TV-PGL 12:00 - Sword Art Online: Alicization: War of Underworld #5 - The Night Before Battle - TV-PGDLV 12:30 - Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba #16 - Letting Someone Else Go First - TV-MAV 1:00 - Food Wars! The Second Plate #5 - The Secret of the First Bite - TV-MAS 1:30 - Black Clover #105 - Smiles, Tears - TV-PG 2:00 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind #14 - Il Treno Espresso per Firenze (Express Train to Florence) - TV-MAL 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #284 - The Helmet Splitter: Jinin Akebino! - TV-PGV 3:00 - The Promised Neverland #7 - 011145 - TV-14 3:30 - Attack on Titan #14 - Can't Look Into His Eyes: Eve of the Counterattack, Part 1 - TV-14V [bring back dark knight blum]

My tastes are notoriously hard to place. Sometimes they're understandable, other times they're not, even when I explain myself on them. I could drop a paragraph or two about why Fairy Dance is my favorite SAO arc despite Asuna getting molested twice in it, and you'd still think Aincrad, GGO, and Alicization were superior. But hey, at least you'd know my point of view on the whole thing after that.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! 6 Gungrave 12

Ooh, Space Ghost reruns! The rest of the schedule's pretty good too, I guess.

Kengan Ashura 14 I have no idea why I rewatch Saw-Paing's scenes in the original Japanese, outside of wanting to hear Nobuyuki Hiyama's voice after spending two years writing up a hypothetical anime where I cast him as the main character. And with the guy Saw-Paing's fighting next episode being voiced by Naokuu's new boss in Kunoichi S2, I might end up watching an entire episode in Japanese before long.

That's reconcerting, but still, to make part of the story into a movie format is a little f'd if you ask me. (Says the guy who had no problems with Initial D : Third Stage...)

I assume that's the reason the next season of Made in Abyss is a movie?

Eh, I think Kaminari's more likely. He is the guy who said Stain was actually kinda cool, after all.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! 6

ToonamiRoll. I'd be on board with that, as long as they don't pull a Fried Dynamite on us.

Eugh, between killing off Dark Knight Blum and his main squeeze, the whole "little boy kills little girl" thing I already knew about, and the ridiculously obvious evilness of absolutely everybody else on the dark side, I'm starting to think this season of SAO may be in contention for my least favorite anime of all time. But let's see if it manages to out-suck Nyaruko-san before I make an official call on it.

MY HERO ACADEMIA - They only appear for a few seconds, and in flashback at that, but Rock Lock's wife and their son that received none of their genes threw /a/ for a complete loop a while back. Yes, it was as overblown as you would imagine. If not for the airborne virus and the obvious separation between series, I think Chisaki would get along well with Purple Haze/Smoke. What a very anime move to make, endearing me to Nighteye before gravely injuring him. 😫 You can't blame Deku's injuries here on his tendency to be reckless with OfA, but I'm sure someone will. How are you so sure your final prediction ends that exact way when all you saw was Deku's face getting obscured by a blood spray, Nighteye? I'm guessing you didn't even see Ryukyu smashing her way down here coming, did you? DR. STONE - 🤣 Gen's so incorrigible, I love it. It's amazing how, even when he's still acting like a jerk, Magma's much more tolerable without his sycophant around. FLUID MECHANICS. Now that's how you do a heel-face turn without killing somebody. (Well, sorta.) The worst case scenario is a yaoi doujinshi. I had a feeling he actually tried to save him back there. Turns out it was a birthday episode all along. 🥳 He's got Oscar fever, also known as grouchiness. SAO ALICIZATION - I don't think wolf furries count as ogres, show. I forget who this "Priestess of Light" is, but if she's Administrator, then she's dead, you bloodthirsty idiots. It's amazing how close to Ian Sinclair Critter's VA is capable of sounding. You expected sexual assault, but it was I, straight-up murder! Speaking of, does child murder count as worse than raping teenagers if it's another child doing the murdering? So he's planning on betraying the CIA for his the sake of his extra-level weird fetish, then. I hope Dark Knight Blum shanks Gabriel while his back is turned the first chance he gets, the fact that he's planning on it is a decent sign. Oh shit is that her severed head? KILL HIM NOW BLUM. I won't lie, that POV shot going through the Light Cube Cluster was sick af. Welp, there goes the only decent character in this shitshow of a fourth season. I'm gonna hate watching the rest of this, and that's coming from the person most tolerant of SAO in this entire forum, excluding Ben. It ain't an "Ultimate FLCL Combo Pack" unless the superior original version's in there with the sequels, I'm sorry. DEMON SLAYER - As bad as this season of SAO is, it's still better to sit through than Zenitsu, Master Misunderstander. 😩 Please eat Zenitsu for me, Boar Bryce, no homo. Uhhh, I think you headbutted the wrong guy. Nezuko's surrounded by idiots. Zenitsu deserves to be left behind. Less complaining, more following their lead. Boar Bryce isn't used to being shown gratitude. Wow, they're sending in everybody for this mission. Oh hey, JYB's back! "I wonder if the others hate me." I know I hate you, you yellow-haired piece of shit. Does he not know that she's Tanjiro's sister yet? I agree with whoever said "You suck!" after Zenitsu rushed into the forest. That's one fresh-looking zombie horde. New mission, kill as many spiders as you can. BOAR BYAKUGAN. Just another reason Inosuke is the best. My dad came in to brush the cat at the end of the episode and pointed out that the brother spider demon sounds like a guy but looks like a chick, and I told him anime's like that. FOOD WARS - The episode being rated TV-14 for once is strange, but I welcome this change of pace. What is with that guy's suit? GLOVE SLAP, HE DON'T TAKE CRAP. Between last week's burgers (turtle notwithstanding) and this week's ice cream cakes, this season seems to be leaning a little more into foods I'd expect Angel to approve of. It's only a matter of time until the inevitable mac-and-cheese battle... The closed-captions sure love to remove random letters from Eizan's internal monologues. This week's foodgasm takes the form of a '90s-era MTV rap video (with lyrics by the original manga-ka!). Damn that was a harrowing and twisty match, probably one of the best I've seen so far. I kinda love that Meat-Meat's practically one of the Kyokusei group now, even though she doesn't even live there. That had to be the franchise's longest post-credits sequence yet, and it deserved its length. REPLY TO ANGEL: "You know when you raise the stakes that much you destroy any tension because there's no way he'll lose under those conditions." Thus it's not a matter of if he loses, but how close he gets to losing. 🧠 BLACK CLOVER - Last time, Asta now has two fetishes, making me like him more than I already did. As far as these villagers know, that's a UFO they're looking at. "That lightning looks awfully familiar..." He really is Virgin Street Punk Dandy. "It turns out you're not as dumb as you look!" Vanessa's not, that's for sure, don't know about Magna tho. H-HAYAI! "You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting!" And so the BDSM references continue. WHERE'S THE SEIZURE WARNING WHEN YOU NEED ONE!? I don't disapprove of the idea of hunting Nazis, but the Superbowl ad for this show about hunting Nazis made me despise it for some reason. Probably their portrayal of Nazis as those who will murder anyone and everyone the moment they're found out, which I'm confident is not how Nazis operate IRL. That red cat is Nighteye's arch-nemesis. "There is no way to reverse this reincarnation spell!" he says one episode after we discovered a way to reverse it. Speaking of which, there's the guy with the cure! I miss when Luck wasn't a smart thinker. SEIZURE PROCEDURE! VENTO AUREO - Normally I dislike characters who hate on the MC, even if they deserve what they get, but I don't even mind that Abbacchio hates Giorno as easily as breathing, a lot of the stuff he does is too cool for me to really care. (Plus his hate for GioGio is so ridiculously petty it's outright hilarious. ) I dunno, he doesn't look that stressed. These damn Pinocchio GEICO ads are too painful for me. Huh, no "we're back" bump this time. It's Joestar family tradition to rely on smart thinking and moving two steps ahead of the opposition. And it's Fugo's to fuck everything up with his STAND. That's another La Squadra member down, meaning... what, five more to go? Getting infected was the easy part, the hard part is getting cured. [trailer for The Invisible Man plays] Me: "Why are they turning everything into a fucking horror movie nowadays!?" My Dad: "Because they can." NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Instead of anything about the show, allow me to vent. Between Toonami losing hours, Demarco being inconsistent as to whether it's their decision or programming's, the spike in music videos during this show's timeslot, them focusing on picking up shounen more than seinen, Crunchyroll refusing to play ball with new shows after giving them Mob even though they have a goddamn partnership, and all the doomsaying in the usual places, I must ask... is Toonami going to die again? I mean, soon? Of course, I'm probably being stupid about it like I usually do when I read too much /co/ in one sitting - I know they are - but this is the sort of thing I need to get out there before purging myself of it for another indeterminate period of time. ...Ohhhhh, so that's where the "we now return you to JoJo" bump disappeared to!

I subscribe to their channel, but I haven't watched that specific video yet. Mostly because I think I'm gonna hear a clip from the DxD dub in there and my mind's not ready to handle it yet.

True, but my image is pretty tasteful compared to the rest of Shadman's portfolio. Not to mention I went to the trouble of photoshopping Asta into the background, so I should at least get a C for effort.

I made it so you don't have to.

Hey, Owl's been around too! Really, it seems Ben's the only one that's been disappeared (as far as we know).

LAST TIME ON VENTO AUREO I'd have posted a version with the anime footage, but the one I liked is unavailable, so the original article (featuring the OVA dub) it is.

I just got revenged.

Hey, if I opened my thread the way I did, so can you in your own way. [goo jah]

Not even spoiler-tagged. Daring tonight, aren't we? 😏

Mirio's two years older than the Class 1-A peeps, plus he's super buff, so she's allowed to make an exception with him.
