Well, that's the thing that happens when you start your weekly posting on a Saturday.

Most people willing to admit to their thoughts on the show, at least... 😏

Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions! 1 (test-watch) Turns out my uncle's DVD collection for the series was a Malaysian bootleg. The series is the real deal, and with perfectly legible English subtitles too, but the episodes were clearly ripped from Japanese television with the station's watermark blurred out, which explains why there was no dub to be found on the discs. Not the "in memoriam to the KyoAni staff we lost this year" watch experience I was hoping for, but whatever.

Discussing anime is a common thing among weebs, otaku, and anime fans who are neither. Why do you think message boards like this exist in the first place?

I'm not sure if all this literary discussion is making me feel better or worse about my own work.

Initial D : Third Stage. It ain't Christmas all the way, but they celebrate it in there, so it counts. Like Angel said, it was released. They just had to pull it after the initial release because they accidentally rated it TV-PG instead of TV-MA, and couldn't re-release it until the next year because it wouldn't be seasonal otherwise.

He doesn't. Jotaro, Koichi and one other who is definitely not Rohan are the only characters from previous parts who get voice time in Golden Wind. But we do have the Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe OVAs to consider, and if they get dubbed, they'll definitely need to find a replacement voice for Rohan. I'm thinking either Todd Haberkorn or Xander Mobus.

My picks: I also managed to write up an original anime idea and post it on three different platforms - on this site in its intended manner, on Archive of Our Own in a more readable fashion, and on DeviantArt as a fetish-bait teaser story - and amazingly completed, so that's impactful in that I didn't expect myself to carry on to the end with this as successfully as I did.

Google's right there, dude.

For those who don't want to watch the video, it's JYB.

Around the point where not even my patented brand of plothole filler can explain the actual fuck that's being presented to me.

Between TOM possibly getting killed, All Might being fated to die horribly, and all the casualties in OPM, last night's showings were definitely those of hopelessness. Also, I need a stitch of Midnight's token appearance this episode, like, yesterday.

They probably only made season 2 so [as] could have perpetual rights to both seasons.

I think while Lazzo was President, Miller was Executive President, a meaningless title that makes one feel better about themselves. To be honest, it confuses me too.

They haven't, and I'm honestly surprised at that. Maybe FUNimation's asking too much for it?

Kengan Ashura 7

I read all of Erina's lines in her valley girl-accented dub voice, and I still got a boner. Great work.

Who says they're gonna include any of that?

Miyoko's feminism is a little tough to take (even if its origins are legit understandable), but damn if she doesn't rock that qipao. 😘 Every JoJo dub is a gift, even the ones with the cheesy accents littered all over the place. THE FORGE - Welp, so much for his arm. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Not sure whether to consider Sir Nighteye actually kinda cool or just an asshole. Oh well, at least Deku managed to get into his agency, that's what matters. I don't think we really needed that shot of Mineta ogling Mina's chest, show. And oh damn, Deku met the villain of the season already! 😱 ONE PUNCH MAN - I was getting a little bored with the tournament TBH, even though Saitama vs. Suiryu was pretty cool I'm glad it's over. I hope this whole Monster Association business finishes up soon too. And man, I forgot Tornado was such a c*nt. Easily the worst character. DR. STONE - Sucks that Kinro got eliminated from the tournament (and double sucks for Ginro's bowels), but at least Chrome managed to eke out a win with science, coupled with the time-tested Dale Gribble and Bobby Hill methods of pocket sand and hitting below the belt, respectively. FIRE FORCE - I might have had my problems with her in the past, some of which I still do, but Hibana strapping Shinra inside a bag and tape-gagging him... I'm into that. 😍 Her "melt this gravel into asphalt" line too, even if it isn't accurate civil engineering terminology. Lisa can fuck off, though; if she lives to the end and still hasn't repented, I'm gonna be pissed. FOOD WARS! - We're 20 episodes in, and we still don't know what Zenji's special gimmick is. I'm guessing it's a mix of general food knowledge and specific noodle dishes. Thin Isami gives me some type of disassociation or whatever the word is. Loved the ZZZs coming from the "to be continued" plate at the end. DEMON SLAYER - Even I'll admit that Nezuko is great, though I wouldn't call her "demon burrito daughter" material... yet. Right now, Tanjiro's the one that's got my attention. That boy is a badass, and it took him less than a quarter of the series to reach this point! And no, I don't blame him for hesitating against the Smooth Criminal upon seeing his secret other family of the decade. BLACK CLOVER - Man, elves are real jerks. Nice to see Yami dislikes Sol's aggressive man-hating lesbianism as much as the rest of us do. VENTO AUREO - I enjoy this entire squad. Except for maybe Abbacchio, but even he's got a cool factor high enough to offset his hating Giorno for no reason. SHIT COUNT: 5. It's looking like the criteria for TV-MAL is now "3 shits in a 15-minute period". I'll take note of that for the future. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Eh, I don't really have anything for this one. Other than goddamn those casualties. LUPIN THE 3RD - I like that Ling finds it fucked up that Enzo doesn't care about his family. I also like how smug Ami's become since hanging around Lupin and Fujiko. And I'll admit, I squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw that Lupin was hiding out in Cagliostro's castle. Watching that movie to honor Monkey Punch earlier this year was the right move.

You think he'd really go full Shinji Aoba on the industry?
