Congratulations, this is probably the most obnoxious thread title I've seen in years.

She's Japanese, she was bound to like it eventually. Plus you've got all the gay anime fans who, despite not getting naked like Isshiki, are really into several of the male characters. There was even a 2ch poll asking said gay anime fans what Food Wars characters they most wanted to bang, and some of the reasons sound like they came straight out of a doujin translated into English. Long story short, Gin Dojima was #1, followed by Soma's dad at #2 and Soma himself at #3. I'm inclined to agree with Daos in that she's just really tan, but I wouldn't be surprised if she had a little bit of American blood in her.

FF - Just another reason Tamaki is the worst character, barring pre-Heel Face Turn Hibana. Food Wars - I agree with your sarcasm, Mayumi really is just Megumi only even more skittish around Soma and twenty times more useless. 😫 BC - Don't insult the man's magic rolodex, it's the only thing of his that's halfway original. JoJo - According to Araki, it's part of his outfit, so fancy bra it is. Mixing the order of things up today because why not. ONE PUNCH MAN - The CG on those centipedes sure are conspicuous, but somehow better in the special effects department than Genos's arms. Garou sorta-bonding with that hero almanac kid is oddly nice. NEXT WEEK IS OTN MASK DOMINATRIX MONSTER WAIFU AND MY BODY ISN'T READY ENOUGH. DR. STONE - Suika is amazing in all her forms, especially with the Golden Kamuy-style stank faces. I do like how Senku's putting the sulfa drugs as a higher priority than Gen's cola, that can wait until he gets back from Tsukasa Land. VENTO AUREO - You aren't a JoJo unless you've had a hard life in some respect, and Giorno clearly had it hardest of all, between the neglectful mom and the abusive stepdad and his real dad being DIO. It's a good thing he turned out as well as he did, even though I think the blue outfit he had in the video games would be better over the pink he has here in the anime. I'm more disappointed that the dub didn't use "Gangstar" than them calling Bruno's STAND "Zipper Man". (The original name was "Sticky Fingers", but you know how fear of copyright suits be.) SHIT COUNT: 4. FOOD WARS - When I first heard of Food Wars, or at least when I started seeing it more often, I thought Mayumi was going to be a main character, on account of her being on the cover of the first manga volume. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, but the opposite of alas, perhaps it was for the best, considering she's an ineffectual minor character that makes Megumi look like an alpha female. Oh well, at least Meat-Meat's getting more screentime, and that's always good. I feel like my dream last week predicted a few things, including the debut of Smarmy Glasses Man: High School Version. DEMON SLAYER - When characters die, always consider them coming back as ghosts. If only I had known that, my original ASMB account might not have gotten permabanned. LUPIN THE 3RD - You just can't not love Zeni, even if you're rooting for Lupin more often than not. BLACK CLOVER - Just in time to save the people, but not himself. How ironic an end for the King of Wizards (or something along those lines). FIRE FORCE - Sometimes when I think I'm out of attention for the show, it manages to pull me back in. Truly you can't get me to hate something in its entirety, even after it proves itself not as good as I initially thought. Still, meta discussion aside, I forgot what company they were investigating before dropping by the 7th, the one that burned down. Maybe we'll get answers next time. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Damn, I was hoping those three ninja Asuma roasted would live. Guess this really is war.

In honor of tonight's JoJo.

All it's missing is the Twin Towers on fire and the tagline "Mistakes Into Miracles". Then we'd have a true disasterpiece.

🤣 That's our Kill 'em All Tomino for ya.

A work of fiction is only as deep as you view it to be.

The most discussion gotten out of Food Wars this week was me recounting the dream I had about it Sunday night semi-accurately, so that clearly says something about everyone's stance on in-depth discussion of shows.

Now that's a winner of an idea right there. Alternately, individual show discussion threads for both weekly and in-depth discussions.

HOLY CRAP LOIS IT'S SANS UNDERTALE

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the discussions here are completely not fun, but I agree that there needs to be a major downtick in the complaining, especially in the Food Wars and Fire Force threads.

The Sopranos 9

At this rate, I just might...

Speaking of Food Wars, I had a dream about it last night, which I detailed here because it isn't really specific to this episode.

Here's all the details that I can remember, fresh off the top of my 5:30AM brain: I went back and forth between acting as a third-party observer and as Soma himself. For some reason the show now takes place on a cruise ship that's akin to a decently sized city, a la Girls und Panzer without the tanks. This future character named Etsuya Eizan showed up, looking just like I thought he would, and apparently he's a pre-prepared meat kind of man. Soma beat him in a timed competition even though he was given extra time to finish up by the judges. One part of the cruise ship town has all these side-by-side walk-up-and-order restaurants numbered #10 to #1 all owned by two bitchy-looking sisters who we never actually see in person, but whose actual operators are bitchy enough to compensate. The Aldini brothers showed up at #10, where Isami (the big one) ordered a giant kabob while having a surprisingly civil conversation with the middle-aged lady in charge, while Takumi (the blonde one) was turned away for superficial reasons. Probably his resting bitchface. Soma was immediately booted from the first three restaurants for no reason, except for #7 where some polite glasses-wearing character that may have been either Iida from MHA or Sakamoto from Sakamoto Desu ka? had a friendly conversation with him then moved him along with a $1-plus charge. Then he went into #6, where the staff was actually willing to serve him actual food. The dish was some type of Finnish fish dish that I don't think actually exists (and if you want it gluten-free, it comes in a towel instead of a bun). This was during the part where I was Soma, so he asked for dairy-free ice cream for dessert and was recommended to like fifty different places that served it. That "episode" also had a plot where he was going up against the bitchy sisters, but the dream fast-forwarded past all the details and to a part where he and Ikumi are trying to sneak into one of the restaurants, but he gets knocked out on the way and left behind. Speaking of the episode format, the next-episode preview was centered around Ryoko (the malted rice girl), who did her hair up in twintails for some reason (and may have also been wearing an open-faced zentai) and had a lesbian kiss with either Megumi or Yuki (the token Luci Christian character). Yet for some reason, the episode title claimed that it was going to be about soccer. Apparently there's now a vampire and an elf in the cast, and Erina, Hisako and Megumi are all undercover Soul Reapers hunting down another, rogue Soul Reaper who infiltrated the academy. This was where I started to question if this was actually real, BTW. Also, Erina and Hisako now have the one-note running gag of speaking in unison, which they did for bitching at Megumi. There were other non-Food Wars related characters there, including an aside where Lupin, Jigen and Goemon were all in my/Soma's apartment and having a conversation about weird-tasting wine. I may have also taught a random kid a new and creative method to annoy his parents. I'm thinking this has to do with the breadsticks I made yesterday. The recipe called for Greek yogurt as the only "liquid", but the dairy-free kind I bought wasn't nearly enough so I had to add a little over half a cup of water to make a decent dough. Turned out pretty good despite all that, though. In short, I once again wonder why I can't have any normal dreams where I'm screwing anime characters and not living out their series on way different tracks from how they actually are. Just give me one dream where I'm fucking/being fucked by Midnight, brain. That's all I ask.

Uhhhhhh... She recognized Joichiro from that photo she has with her? I don't know why you people watch this show when you clearly aren't going to be paying attention and then ask questions like you had no idea that you weren't paying attention.

Poor Ben, he's already forgotten that Taiju exists.

In case you haven't figured it out by now, Demarco isn't exactly the smartest man. 😏

Knowing Senku, I'm sure the homemade cola factors into his sulfa drug plan. She isn't wearing a habit, so CLEARLY. In their defense, they had no idea it was a magic stone when they recovered it, and gradually forgot about it by the time they started giving a shit about them. ONE PUNCH MAN - For a self-proclaimed hero killer, Garou sure seems to be doing a lot of not hero-killing. But hey, at least that means Mumen Rider, Tank Top Seitz and Charako all survived, as I hoped they would. Genos confusing Saitama's disguise for him wanting his hair back is the best misunderstanding. DR. STONE - Aw boo, we get the return of Tsukasa but no Taiju or Yuzuriha cameos. I gotta say I hate Magma, guy seems somehow even more sexist-bordering-on-misogynistic than even Gaston. I don't like his #1 fanboy either. CONTROVERSIAL OPINION OF THE WEEK: In anime (especially ecchi and hentai) incest is fine as long as no one gets pregnant. FIRE FORCE - I'm glad someone smacked the shit out of one of those annoying lolis, even if it was actually some dude in disguise. Oh hey, sniper chick's actually kinda hot. Is anyone else wondering how the hell Benimaru got the nickname "Waka" anyways? Probably some obscure Japanese thing. FOOD WARS! - If Soma's breakfast risotto was a 10/10, then Joichiro's vegetarian breakfast ramen was an 11/10, if not higher. I'd eat both (assuming the soy sauce in the latter was gluten-free). Also, tempe = Indonesian tofu. DEMON SLAYER - Okay, I get the deal with Kimetsuverse Meruem and Komugi (same VAs, check em), but at the same time I don't get them. But hey, at least Tanjiro improved thanks to their help. BLACK CLOVER - If there isn't a name for the trope where an obvious reveal is debunked early on but then turns out to have been real all along, it should be called "Misdirection from the Obvious". VENTO AUREO - More Ray Chase on the block is good, though part of me still wishes Todd was voicing Bruno instead. My mental reading of "This is the taste of a liar!" in his voice was, and still is, incomparable. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - I don't think we're ever gonna get the token accidental full OP playage this time. LUPIN THE 3RD - I knew from the beginning that Mirage was going to be a woman - I mean c'mon, what kind of guy sniper names himself that? - and guessed she was the daughter of the Mirage that Jigen knew, once I figured the eye and hair colors didn't match up. Still a fun episode, feels good to not be the kind of person who bitches about predictability.
