AWOL: Absent WithOut Leave 5

Kengan Ashura 22

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

The Qwaser of Stigmata 5 Best part not involving power couple Katja/Hana was Sasha discovering pickles for the first time.

Kee-ho-tick.

Plus FUNimation's on the damn production committee for Fire Force, so it's getting dubbed anyways, even if it isn't immediate.

Oh wow, Lion's Den was really channeling the [as] text bumps with that recent ad of theirs. PARANOIA AGENT - Holy shit Lil' Slugger was my very first exposure to chuunibyou. I forgot all about his braces. This recap scene may have also made me a sucker for scenes from previous episodes of stuff played from the perspective of others. God Ikari's reactions to everything this episode are top tier. I don't think that's a real cigarette he had there. This action is way too stylish for a Kon product. That right there's what we call a "leitmotif", Ikari. And then Maniwa was an NPC. Unfortunately, the only way to get through to someone with chuunibyou is to engage them in their fantasies. Hee, QUALITY!Ikari. These tower stairs could really use a railing. Hot air balloon elevator. GODDAMN COUNT: 2. Oh no, he's doing intergalactic chants. Gotta go to Bendigo, get me white cuuuube. You fool, whenever you're in a fantasy realm, there always has to be a princess! "Tell me the truth, you're really enjoying this, aren't ya?" More than you think. You might've provoked him, who knows what kinda shit Maria got up to while you were under. It could be floating over the moon, deep beneath the Earth's crust, or in the Grand Canyon hovering where everyone can see it. What a fittingly colored suit. Kawazu never having run into Harumi/Maria at least once is easily the least believable part of this show. God I love his little song. Old men have no patience for chuuni fantasies, just as Rikka Takanashi's grandfather. I like the bug that's just carrying him along. All these faces are making me scar-roused. "You're the only one who understands me, Rising Sun matches." I choose option 4: put it in. That mini-speech about believing in what's right in a world that's all wrong is very poignant considering current events. "It's..." Monty Python's Flying Circus? No one would've guessed that Ikari was the MVP of the group. Dammit FUNi, you could've at least spelled "stature" right! Only the master could make an old homeless woman look like an intimidating force. MOB PSYCHO 100 - I feel bad for finding Mob suffering through his efforts in body improvement hilarious. Don't be a dick, Tome. At least Reigen's polite about directing Mob's attention elsewhere. COMEDY CLICHE #583: No matter how many times they incorrectly guess, the moment someone correctly guesses a character's situation, that character will be amazed that they knew. Fuck yeah, masking cult! I could do without the constant laughter tho. "The recession sucks." "Indeed it does." That is easily the most forced-looking smile I've ever seen on a man of his statue (sic). Cults never forgive, and they never forget. People say I'm missing out on all sorts of fun things, but maybe they don't realize that watching anime and bitching about others' opinions on the Internet is how I want to live. OH SHIT SURPRISE EYECATCH. Damn you, Doritos, and your unconventional advertising tactics! Mob likes milk. The "extra kick" is that it's five minutes past the expiration date. You didn't laugh, true, but you did spit it up. And here comes the weirdly sexual part of the cult initiation ritual. He has a point not to laugh, there's nothing inherently funny about mooning. Don't be a dick, Tsubomi. TALK TO THE HAND. In the end, it was Dimple who was the real dick. MASSIVE DOGPILE. Yeah, emotions are very tricky, especially when even the smallest challenge to your opinion triggers them to erupt out like a surge of lava. I both love and identify with Rage!Mob. HEEZA FIRIN HIS LAZOR! And then he got Mob-sploded. Wise words from a shady guy, that's my second husbando Reigen for ya. Congratulations, Mob, you're now the unwitting object of worship of a whole new cult. Dimple is just straight-up unkillable. "Show me reality... TV." No thank you. [fast-forwards] BLACK CLOVER - There goes Pinocchio again, 115 episodes later. I just can't not like it when this show does sakuga. "Soon everything will cease to exist!" At least in this continent. That situation was settled much faster than I thought it'd be, I guess that's a point in the show's favor for this week. My uncle and I were discussing the other day what exactly led Secre (as Nero) to hang around Asta for so long, and now, I think it's the grimoire that did it. As for the anti-bird transformation, I don't think even he would expect it to be related to her straight-up sealing away the devil. That would explain why Yuno's so moody all the time. Or maybe it was sealing Lumiere that did her in transformation-wise. And so the protagonists from 500 years apart join the fray (again). Bitch don't go talking shit about my mental health. Yes, Asta should save the fanboying for after they've won. "That girl feels awfully familiar..." There is no weak magic, only weak magic users. And here we have Jerry Jewell talking to himself, something I think is actually a first. H-HAYAI! At this point, all Asta can do is watch. "His arm!" His jutsu? My dad just caught a glimpse of the devil as he was walking through and made one of those "shuddering cringe" noises, followed by "that ain't right". Welp, so much for Asta just watching. I assume the cheek-pull will take the place of pecking at his forehead for the time being. Oh hey, that's where those two disappeared to. It's like the Spirit Bomb, only non-consensual. Yeah, suck it, devil man! Ooh, in-episode credits! Yeah, I thought it was a little too good to be true that the final battle wrapped up two episodes ahead of schedule. Next week, Asta breaks yet another one of his many limits. VENTO AUREO - I always liked the little face on King Crimson's forehead, nice to see it's a STAND in its own right. Great, he's invisible too. I do love it when JoJo characters freak out about how bizarre their various situations are. Oh jesus I can actually feel that in my own throat. Who else heard him almost say the C-word? SHIT COUNT: 2. MY LEEEEEEEG! Is it weird that I'm technically rooting for the Boss in this case? That face really was made for the memes. FROG NOOOO! Risotto is the Qwaser of Iron, no breastmilk required. Turns out it was his leg all along. This dude has very weird and inconsistent ideas about what phones are. Grand theft body, go! Those things look like those little white creatures from Princess Mononoke, only metal. Shit, he's self-repairing. Ah yes, I remember that anatomical art piece that was your teammate's corpse. Sweet, new La Squadra footage! Goddamn, that is a very creative way to use your STAND abilities, like one or two steps beyond that I'd have guessed. KNIVES! Shit, Doppio, you suck at dodging. The needles, I can forgive, there's no way you were gonna dodge any of those. Senku approves of this rundown on the morbid perks of iron. Call me crazy, but I think that animation of Doppio breathing was in-betweened by AI. It looks like he's rusting. Nice of you to finally join us, guys, even at a distance. Ooh, that headshot looks painful. Dammit Doppio, you should've let the Boss handle it. Ohhhhhhh damn. The Boss used our protags' search for him against his opponent, and letting his breathing go under the radar played a part in it. Absolutely savage, almost to the point of respect. To finish things off, here's another Antfish video updated with footage from the anime. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Why am I not surprised that they're already flashing back to previous episodes? It's nice to see the Akatsuki's astral projections finally defined beyond just silhouettes, even if it's just Pain. You now remember when the show used to beat us over the head with the "forever alone" metaphor for Gaara. And just like that, his depression was cured. He's really come a long way since season 1, hasn't he. What he lacks in eyebrows. This Mizukage's alright. So does Gaara have the same mother as Temari and Kankuro, or are they all from different mothers? I'm sure Kishi has an explanation for that somewhere. What a poorly thought-out choice of last words. "I told you not to touch it." I had a feeling Yashamaru wasn't being completely honest when he (and the people summarizing his character) said he hated Gaara. If only Doppio had sand like that to keep those scalpels from getting lodged in him... I have a feeling that floating sand eye's gonna start crying too, though I guess the dripping sand is providing symbolism of that well enough. I don't remember the vomit. This is still hard to watch and listen to, even if about half of it is facetious. Strange, I remember Yashamaru self-destructing being the end result of that, not the Shukaku running amok. I do not care for Animal Crossing as much as people think I should. Such is life living by my own standards. I love that everyone's giving the mummy guy shit. Trapped by giant sand women, some people are just too lucky. Oh shit the sentient sand was his mother's. I guess that explains how he was able to use it even after having Shukaku extracted from him. Okay, 75% facetious. This is the objectively best canon episode in quite some time, probably because Gaara's character arc makes way more sense than Sasuke's. My dad, meanwhile, would definitely get a kick out of this episode being heavily focused around Gaara's mother, especially since he likes to bring up the time he shouted "MOTHER!" at the top of his lungs in the original series (which, oddly enough, I don't remember), even to this day. Why is the voice acting in this poor excuse for violent fairy tales somehow even more shit than the animation?

So I checked the schedule for this Friday and they're airing a Boondocks marathon. Nothing too surprising... outside of the banned-from-[as] episodes about BET, "The Hunger Strike" and "The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show" finally seeing broadcast on the network, coupled with the return of retroactively banned Tyler Perry parody episode "Pause". Unfortunately, "The Story of Jimmy Rebel" remains nowhere to be found.

Oh wow, I've left this thing sitting for quite a while, haven't I? Welp, when your Saturday nights are occupied with /co/'s weekly Toonami discussion and new episodes of Greg Gutfeld, you're bound to lose track of routine eventually.

Again, I prove how stupid I am by assuming what's behind a link without clicking it first. I had thought it had something to do with the "Shield Bros and Vic stans", who you would think are the most likely to actually celebrate the happening of something so tragic (because they're detritus), but I guess the "celebration of life" is more accurate to how Twitter at large would react in this case, your link included. In short, I should really stop digging this hole I've made for myself.

I know it's for the sake of those finishing up the simuldub, but as a wise man once said, reruns suck and there's no escape. 12:00 - My Hero Academia #84 - Deku vs. Gentle Criminal - TV-PGL 12:30 - Paranoia Agent #5 - The Holy Warrior - TV-14LV 1:00 - Mob Psycho 100 #3 - An Invite to a Meeting ~Simply Put, I Just Want to Be Popular~ - TV-14LV 1:30 - Black Clover #118 - A Reunion Across Time and Space - TV-PGV 2:00 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind #27 - King Emperor Crimson vs. Metallica - TV-MAV 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #297 - A Father's Hope, A Mother's Love - TV-PGV Welcome to the television business.

ANN mourns, Twitter celebrates (at least one portion), /a/ deletes discussion of either variety due to being off-topic, and Sankaku Complex oddly remains indifferent. Really, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

So does this mean they get the broadcast rights to season 1 too? Not that I plan on watching, I'm just curious.

His Mayo Chiki reaction was pretty good, especially the "Singapore Constitution" joke. It also probably had something to do with my decision to watch Yuruyuri that season instead. The Upotte!! first impression was also a great one. I still think of anime existing in a "pre-Upotte" and "post-Upotte" state. I never listened to ANNCast - I'm not really a podcast kinda guy, despite listening to CSW's and Toonami Faithful's every once in a while - but I'm sure he was great on that too. I'll admit, I'm more the type of guy to disagree with Zac's opinions than I am to agree on them, being the kind of guy who fears I'll dislike a show that's panned once I know what flaws to look out for, but there's no denying that he put out some great material. My reaction to the news this morning was one of initial shock but quick, solemn understanding that this is indeed what happened. Here's to hoping the next life treats him well. To quote my ANN thoughts, thank you, Zac, and godspeed.

They recently announced the series would be changing directors. If that means less awkward forced Tamaki fanservice, then I'm all for the change. If not... well, that's someone else's problem more than it is mine.

Speaking of casting new characters for the last two MHA episodes, did they ever reveal who the Japanese voice for best non-masked hero waifu Miruko is?

But Paranoia Agent already premiered on cable 15 years ago, in what way does it qualify for the "top cable originals" listing?

84, actually. "Deku vs. Gentle Criminal" is number 84.
