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.

Objectively every character in Fire Force is likable, with the exceptions of Shinra's grandmother and those gossipy housewives with the overly animated shadows. My personal faves are Captain Obi 'cause of his voice and bro personality, and Iris because you know damn well why. That fire-retardant nun outfit + gas mask combo = relevant to my goddamn interests. 🤩 I kinda want Shinra to bang her, if only because I want Asta (same seiyuu) to get lucky with a nun in at least one timeline. On a semi-related topic, I've been bouncing around a Black Clover fanfic idea in my head where Asta comes to terms with the fact that he has a nun fetish. The scary part? I might actually go through with it.

Remember when [as] losing the rights to an anime was a big deal?

Went to the state fair today - ate some food, bought a Piccolo keychain, fun times - so it doesn't look like I'll get this week's shows watched within the same 24-hour timespan. That's why I'll be posting them later this week. Expect the usual.

Well, we have this one - 😥 - and this one - 😪 - but they aren't as good at conveying depressed sadness as the teary-eyed dude in the reactions corner.

I prefer to use old-school ASCII emojis to represent the shedding of tears. There's two semicolons and an underscore for regular tears (;_;), and two capital Ts and an underscore for manly tears (T_T). You can also add a 7 to either to make it a tearful salute.

No! We have to go even deeper!

You were expecting Reigen Arataka, but it was I, Genos! [too soon?]

Considering David Pro hired a bunch of ex-SHAFT staff for Fire Force, I won't mind whether the color of the fire is natural or non.

I noticed Wikipedia updated it earlier with his name, but ANN hasn't reported it yet. I'm guessing they're still writing up the article detailing his history in the industry. If they bothered to do it with the color designer, you know they're gonna do it with the director.

Question mark, Elfie. The exclamation point should be a question mark.

I dunno, Todd Haberkorn managed to get over his accusation fairly easily. Someone blamed him, he explained himself, and he's still doing voiceovers (for continuing franchises, at least). But I have a feeling you're gonna turn that around on me too, so what do I know?
