Yes, and that's why I'm (eventually) gonna watch it too.

I'm glad you dropped the exclamation point, but would it kill you to start using a question mark? Ultraman 7

Freezing's violent fanservice, ergo we should air that too.

Well said. 🍺

I dunno man, #5 is still pretty high up, considering how much anime is in a regular season. Now, if it were something like #23, you'd have yourself a point.

How oxymoronic of you to say that.

How Much Heavy Dumbbells Do You Lift? 5

It's an alt, so it's more like you're double-ignoring him. Triple-ignoring, possibly?

Agreed, I actually liked this more than I was expecting myself to, based on the expectations of others from you-know-where. Them disliking it wasn't a surprise, but Reddit too? Man, can't people just look past decent animation they're clearly not used to already, regardless of story quality?

I started seasonal watching around the time it premiered, so of course I have. My anime-watching time, though, was occupied with another ecchi entirely...

They're from the same creator, so not inaccurate. Actually, it's spelled Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. As am I, Angel. As am I. Yeah, "Meat Mistress" would be a more appropriate title, if you're asking for my opinion. DRAGON BALL SUPER - Frieza's tail is both a blessing and a curse. At least Dyspo didn't bite down on it like Goku did that one time. GEN:LOCK - Apart from some overdesigned background characters and my not being used enough to David Tennant to appreciate his character's goofier attributes, this actually wasn't so bad. I'll definitely be sticking around for more. FIRE FORCE - Guess the schedule rundown inaccuracies continue, because apparently Shinra and Arthur were already rivals before the episode even started. Obi's still the best, I fear that something will happen to him in the next couple of episodes. LUPIN THE 3RD PART 5 - His name is Albert and he is most definitely GAY. I just about lost it at Goemon getting frustrated with the smartphone. 🤣 This arc's really scratching my female masking itch, it helps that the masks and suits are realistic enough to not seem like the kind of thing only psychos would be into. It should be interesting seeing what history Lupin has with Albert, especially with how the latter's able to outfox him at seemingly every turn. FOOD WARS! - I might have let Erina's breast-bounding slide in the one episode where we actually saw them do that, but her chef uniform conforming near-perfectly around them? My inner Foley's calling shenanigans on that. Oh well, at least we've got delicious brown waifubait now. Let's hope her personality isn't as disappointing as Sol's. 🤜🌲 BLACK CLOVER - I forgot to mention this last week, but Langris sounded like Bakugo so much at times, that I was hoping he'd call someone a "damn nerd". Y'all might not care about Troll Prince JYB 2.0's tragic backstory, but I like it. His dad gets purposely friendly-fired and insulted at his gravesite by former "comrades", so what does he do? He dresses up like the doll he was given and starts beating the shit out of asshole Magic Knights like some kind of bondage gear Batman. I bet that Purple Orca - the real Xerx - he beat up before the selection test was the one who killed his dad, which would make him stealing his identity and making people think less of the actual man with his general trickery even more hilarious. BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - I've been putting off pre-scripting my Kinky Kunoichi sequel for a while now, and after Boruto's bank robbery fantasy reminding me of a semi-similar situation taking place in the premiere ep, I'm seriously thinking of getting back to it. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Gaara's pretty good at the Talk no Jutsu, almost as good as Naruto is. I'm proud of him for coming so far since the days when he was actually edgier than Sasuke. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN - He wears the sunglasses to hide his identity. The people who know him thinks he wears them because his eyes are bad. Those who don't know him thinks he wears them because he's a stylish prick. Oh, if only the other half knew how right they were with that theory... MY HERO ACADEMIA - Easily the better half of "Clifford Chapin Fight Night", both in animation and in storytelling impact. I hate to say it after over a year of watching this show, but I think I actually legitimately like Bakugo now. Still, I consider their fight a draw, no matter how much Bakugo insists that he was the winner. [it means knock on wood]

As long as viewership spikes during MHA and makes Demarco look even more like a tool for deathslotting it (or so the haters think), I'll be golden.

Next up, tonight's schedule. Hopefully I'm more on the mark with these than past weeks. Tonight on Toonami, the Tournament of Power comes down to an Elite Eight battle royale between the 7th and 11th Universes, an autocracy that's taken over most of Earth lays seige to where else but New York City, the Fire Force recruits a new member who Shinra instantly becomes rivals with, Lupin tries to find out more about the mysterious notebook he acquired and why he was hired to steal it, Satoshi showed Soma his so now Soma has to do the same for him (no, not bare his ass), the rest of the second round is interrupted by the first third-round match between Team Asta and Team Langris, Boruto finds himself longing for excitement after a series of low-stress D-rank missions, Gaara shows off his own Talk no Jutsu as tensions within the Allied Shinobi Forces start to come about, Char decides to make friends with the heir to the Zabi regime, and Bakugo challenges Deku to a street fight that will determine which one of them has the truly stronger quirk. 11:00 - Dragonball Super #122 - With His Pride on the Line! Vegeta's Challenge to Be the Strongest! - TV-PG 11:30 - gen:LOCK #1 - The Pilot - TV-14LV 12:00 - Fire Force #2 - The Heart of a Fire Soldier - TV-14V 12:30 - Lupin the 3rd: Part 5 #8 - Who Has the Black Notebook? - TV-14LSV 1:00 - Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma #5 - The Ice Queen and the Spring Storm - TV-MAS 1:30 - Black Clover #81 - The Life of a Certain Man - TV-14 2:00 - Boruto: Naruto Next Generations #42 - A Ninja's Job - TV-PGL 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #261 - For My Friend - TV-PG 3:00 - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin #5 - Char and Garma - TV-14LV 3:30 - My Hero Academia #61 - Deku vs. Kacchan, Part 2 - TV-14L [new york city!?]

Yo are you implying that I'm a terrible cook? I mean, I'm not as skilled or high-tone as those Totsuki snobs, but I'm capable of putting out a decent dish for myself every once in a while. BLACK CLOVER - Once again, Ian Sinclair's performance as Magna is the only thing getting me through the Black Bulls' usual full-frontal assault of one-note character tics. Though Finral and Vanessa not acting like caricatures of themselves helped with that. But at least they're good comrades to one another, and that's what truly matters. Eat shit, Not!Bakugo. BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - All I'll say is that arc was shorter than I was expecting to be. And while it ain't no Great Naruto Bridge, Team 7.1 having a rest stop named after them is honorable, if not a little embarrassing. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Oh wow, I actually don't remember the Sasuke Retrieval Arc as well as I thought I did. FOOD WARS! - I can't believe the token Greg Ayres character is more tolerable than the feuding dudebros. The shaggy-haired dude is the best though, probably because he isn't loud like everyone else. Naked Apron Man being one of the Elite 10 - higher in the rankings than Erina, even! - was a good twist to end the episode on, even if it was hidden in the post-credits sequence that people more often than not skip over. Also, I need to know who animated this week's music video, the director's name isn't enough in this case.

Ultraman 6 Gungrave 5

I'd say it's more the two shows they were going to announce at Momocon but didn't (both of which apparently either have female protags or are LGBT-friendly) suddenly fell through and they needed something to replace one of the concluding shows fast. The fact that it was Shonen Jump and over 50 episodes likely caught Demarco's eye above any other, more widely regarded pick from Sentai's cache of shows.

Unedited Footage of a Bear There's so much for me to love about this. Suburban housing. Garage doors. Street signage. Letterboxing in widescreen. Excellent music and sound design. Direction as kino as any five-star arthouse film. My favorite TV content rating. All brought together to form the best [adult swim] Infomercial this side of Icelandic Ultrablue. 11/10, would and probably will watch again.

Food Wars! because of the massive amounts of fanservice, which Demarco hates. Keep in mind that when he expressed his regret over GXP, he pointed fingers not at the fanservice or lawlharem bullshit (the latter of which Tenchi in Tokyo did just as bad, if not worse), but at its lacking focus on action and the repetitive nature of Seina's constant bad luck as a vehicle for comedy. Besides, I already covered Gundam in my post, so that obviously wasn't it.

Technically it was Buster who said that.

Don't worry, no honest-to-God celibate nuns will be banged in the process. That sort of fetishism's all about aesthetic, you see... DRAGON BALL SUPER - Oh wow, the 3rd Universe actually took their erasure from existence in greater stride than I expected. Also, neat foreshadowing about there being a tiny guy inside the robot Destroyer God. ATTACK ON TITAN - This will be one of those season finales that's talked about ten years after the fact. I know I'll be talking about it in a decade, probably to some other commune of anime fans. FIRE FORCE - Given this show's popularity, its pickup by Toonami was predictable, and that's disappointing. My discovery that FUNimation was on the production committee like they were for Dimension W made things a little better. But then I sat down and watched the first episode, and... oh my lordy, I think I have a new favorite show. No matter much I end up loving or hating gen:LOCK, this will be the perfect chaser regardless. LUPIN THE 3RD: PART 5 - Non-serious slapstick Lupin is good, yes, but semi-serious plot Lupin is just as fun, albeit in a different manner. Lupin disguising himself as Fujiko is a strange yet familiar boner. I'm not sure whether I should like this Albert guy, but at least I like his smugness. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN - Anyone remember that Sunrise show from a decade back where if you met your doppelganger, you died? Had the same character designer as Freezing. Well, it appears UC Gundam works on the same principle, albeit with a longer delay between meeting and death for one of the two halves. Sucks to be you, Character Previously Known as Char. I do like that we got an explanation for Char's iconic sunglasses and mask, though. Eye color can make all the difference. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Sometimes it's easy to forget that Bakugo's actually pretty smart, he just hangs out with dumb people. I'm proud for everyone besides him and Todoroki getting their licenses though, good for them! 🎉 Turns out Camie was Toga all along, and I don't know what to think of that, honestly. I wanted All Might to smash through that thick-ass glass and punch All for One in the face too, but in the end I'm glad he refrained. The Pierrot Power Hour and a Half of Pain plus Demarco's biggest pickup regret since GXP will come on Saturday as a prelude to the weekly schedule.

Page 4 replies Thanks, Aoba. >_> I expected better from FUNi on that. Aren't they supposed to be part of the production committee? Well, if you focus on all the fucked-up shit, of course you're gonna miss the manservice.

Page 3 replies Apollo, you say? Well Shinra technically is a teenager at that point. I don't blame you for not finding him as sexy as the legal sharkteethers yet. ...I don't get it?

Page 1 replies [DATA NOT FOUND] Page 2 replies Nope. This is actually Derick Snow voicing Shinra. The Virgin Hero and the Chad Clover, together at last. It's spelled "Bechdel Test". I'll forgive it since you were replying during the show and didn't have time to look up the correct spelling. It's anime. Gratutitous Catholic imagery is kind of one of its things. Apparently I either wasn't paying attention when I was watching or I'm just so used to subpar dubs because I didn't hear anything offensively wrong with it.

I loved the splatter they did for the Yukihira awning subtitle in episode 1 to match the white paint vandalism.
