Speaking of [as] losing FG and Bob's Burgers, did they ever confirm that they weren't renewing the rights to either of them? Or is it just a widespread assumption because Disney?

Denying any involvement at the onset, as to be expected from Demarco.

Still produced by Trigger, not by Gainax like Elfie claims it was.

But Inou Battle was made by Trigger, therefore making its subpar nature even more baffling.

Splitting this week's shows up into two halves. Five shows today, five on Wednesday. DRAGON BALL SUPER - Nope, I've got nothing. Sorry. GEN:LOCK - Why am I not surprised that the white male without an accent was the villain this episode? Ah well, the other new characters were likeable enough that I wasn't bothered by it. BLEEP COUNT: 1. LUPIN THE 3RD PART 5 - I wonder what inspired Jose to staff his crew with henchwomen instead of henchmen. Also, I was expecting blonde tonfa Alucard - whose gender I still don't know - to have died after being literally shocked, so I'm surprised they're still around. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN - Damn cable guide episode description spoiled me on Char setting up the one guy who knows who he really is for death. That family moment between Degwin and Garma was a little awkward. Speaking of Garma, Chris Niosi did a great job as him, I hope the current controversy surrounding him won't be the end of his career like it was for Vic. And now we know who Mineva's parents are. (Dozle and Zenna, for those not paying attention.) MY HERO ACADEMIA - I liked how the first half of the episode was all about Twice's backstory and his perspective on society's response to All Might's retirement. Fine stuff. I still hate Monoma's guts to the point of wanting to punch him in the face until he's dead, and yet I thank him for starting Bakugo down the path of likability despite still being the biggest problem child in all of shounen. And now we have a third moody kid with black hair and a specific style to join Sasuke and Ray in that little clique. Oh, and Angel's third MHA husbando, I guess. I'd have watched Fire Force instead of Gundam, but after hearing that they cut a scene because "fanservice is icky" - editing two minutes of sexual assault out of SAO, I can understand, but this is just bullshit - I decided I needed some time to get past that, so I'll be watching it with Food Wars and the Pierrot Power Hour and a Half of Pain later this week.

She's probably Okinawan. Japanese by name, American by association, and with a plausible explanation for her natural tan to boot.

I was under the impression it said "sheets".

Tonight on Toonami, Goku resumes battling Jiren after Vegeta's failed attempt at striking him down, Dr. Weller explains just how in the hell Chase survived what should have been an assured fatality, Shinra and Arthur show off their skills in the Fire Force's annual competition for rookies, Lupin reveals to his comrades his secret past with Albert, Soma gets drawn into his first Food War against one of Erina's lackeys, leave it to Pierrot to interrupt the plot with inappropriately placed filler, Team 7 investigates a series of honest-to-god bank robberies, the Fourth Great Ninja War officially starts when Deidara and Sasori ambush the commando unit in a re-enactment of Shippuden's first arc, Char and Garma lead the students of Zeon's top military academt in an assault against the Earth Federation, and we get a look at how the villain underworld is reacting to All Might's retirement fight against All For One. 11:00 - Dragonball Super #123 - Body, Soul and Power Unleashed!

>delicious brown My meat is ready.

Not happening. Because tonight's show... is filler!

They never advertised the big-name talent they pulled for their own original anime, why would they do the same for borrowed content from another production house that they just so happen to be airing?

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.

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!
