He insisted on shaking hands when he should have bowed instead.

Quit trying to infect us with your crushing pessimism, Elfie. Look on the bright side: AT LEAST WE'RE GETTING A REPLACEMENT FOR SAO INSTEAD OF JACK SHIT.

The Uzumaki Family Power Hour is for jacking it to hentai. /co/ calls it the Naruto Fap Break for a reason, Daos.

How can you look at Mitsuki and not see this guy? It's honestly baffling.

We got Bible Black namedropped on Gemusetto Machu Picchu. It's close enough.

You now remember the phase in my life where I mimicked ANN's edit list and made hypothetical edit lists for anime I imagined airing on [as] and SyFy. The Scarface-style language edits for Black Lagoon were my favorite part.

Simple: he knows he's fucked and sees no point in trying to salvage his already sunken reputation by any means. I'm already prepared for Xander Mobus to take over most of his roles that could require reprisal in the future.

Sweet, an excuse to watch it right away (or three weeks from now, give or take).

Of course you'd be put off by her hairstyle. It took a while for me to come around to it, admittedly.

That's what commercial breaks are for.

I remember back when HxH started and she didn't really like Gon or Killua to start with. I still firmly believe that their actions during the Trick Tower stage of the Hunter Exam were what turned her opinion around on them. As much as I'd like Sol to get over her #KillAllMen hangups, if Magna got laid, then he'd no longer be Virgin Street Punk Dandy. He'd be... Regular Street Punk Dandy, which isn't nearly as fun to say. And now you know the answer to the question, "Who's the Beast Titan supposed to be?" He's Eren's half-brother. Kirito's lived through the other seasons of his show, they can't hurt him. (Well, Sugo molesting Asuna might hurt him by way of PTSD, but the rest, not so much.) Really, there are several alternate methods of suffering Administrator could put him through. Like making him watch Blue Gender and Super Milk-chan at the same time. Or Pilot Candidate and Trinity Blood at the same time. Or Tenchi Muyo! GXP and King Star King at the same time. Or Akame ga KILL! and Food Wars at the same time. Or Tokyo Ghoul and Black Clover at the same time. Or she could just force him to read Kinky Kunoichi until he realizes that even I can write a better story than his creator ever could and has a mental break from it. It's anime, her boobs can work in whatever way they damn well please. Charmy has been pretty fun this arc, I for one am loving her casual interactions with the Wizard King. By the end of this week, I am going to make an image showing which two anime characters had to fuck to create Troll Prince JYB 2.0, and yes, Hisoka will be one of them. DRAGON BALL SUPER - One of the missing fighters was invisible, while the other was insect-sized. I might've known. And like that, the 4th Universe is eliminated, and boy did they get eliminated quick. Shame about Piccolo getting ringed out, though, guess 17's gonna be the one I'm rooting for on main now. ATTACK ON TITAN - The boy gets a beating, while his sister gets mauled to death by German attack dogs. Even if it was Grisha's fault, that's still fucked. Here I was, fully convinced that the asshole behind it was gonna get off scot-free, but then came the ending where his partner pushed him off the ledge to be eaten by a Titan - the Moe Titan who had the crush on Jean in the Junior High spin-off, no less! - and revealed he was the mole and a Titan Shifter! (Bonus: voiced by Ray Chase!) Catharsis is a wonderful thing, and Attack on Titan more than delivered with it. 🤩 SWORD ART ONLINE: ALICIZATION - Turns out Chudelkin delivered the final blow against Administrator, who'd have seen that coming? At least the animation of their twin demise was nice and experimental. I'd have felt bad about Eugeo dying halfway through - yes, we're only halfway - but goddamn, did they have to make his interactions with Kirito so homoerotic? Meanwhile, legitimately interesting things are happening on the secret sea base, what with the army attacking and making Kirito double brain dead. I appreciate him chewing out Kikuoka as the first thing he did in his phone call to the outside. After the shit Kirito and his butt-buddy witnessed in Underworld - two minutes of which had to be censored for American broadcast, mind you - he deserves all of the contempt. LUPIN THE 3RD: PART 5 - People say Lupin fails in the ratings partly because of the age of its character designs, and partly because you know Lupin and his crew will ultimately win out every time, but if you ask me, the secret joy of the latter is not if they win, but how they win. But seriously, Lupin played us all. And really, would we want it any other way? FOOD WARS! SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA - Even Discount Monoma is afraid of the tsuntsun-est tsundere in Toonami Swim History, taking even Tokine, Noelle, and the redheaded member of Seina's beta harem into account. I like how that mysterious old man responded with her failing Soma despite his food being really good with a "fuck that noise!" And I'll give the show credit, I'm gonna put scrambled egg in the stir fry I'm making tonight. Some fresh protein to counterbalance the pre-cooked frozen chicken I'm also including. BLACK CLOVER - I'm proud of Asta for finally getting to the point where he finally has his own named attack; the only thing missing was the exclamation of "Anti-Magic" before it. I also liked him convincing Troll Prince JYB 2.0 to work with him while holding back as much screaming as he could. There's hope for them after all! BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - I had a feeling Lupin was playing us all, but I didn't even consider Orochimaru doing the same. Good on him. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Hey, remember over a decade ago when I used to actually like Sasuke? Those were better times. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN - In the end, everything went off without any serious hitches. Gundam women don't get mad, they get even; Kycilia blowing up her brother for bitchslapping her and Hamon letting those two tank drivers get killed as extended payback for trying to give her the sex is proof of that. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Best rating right off the bat? Midnight playing a prominent role? Deku keeping his cool without shedding a single tear? An excuse to finally watch the first tie-in movie? All that and more are the reasons why I think this is the most underrated episode of MHA. Tonight was a really good collection of episodes. SAO was a little much, but then again, when isn't it too much?

Sorry, but I'm gonna trust the industry insider over the armchair doomsayer on this one.

The chick on the right seems alright in a '90s sort of way, but what the hell is up with Kenshi's mouth.

Yeah, that's an understandable barrier to entry, but once you get past the mob-flavored first season, it really hits the ground running with all the character buildup and shout-outs to the Batman mythos. Think of the execution as Burton meets Nolan meets '60s Batman. And it's not so much about the superhero (no plural), but the supervillains. Batman does have the best villains, after all.

I was always under the impression Mitsuki was Kaworu. Oddly serene personality, has a totally no homo crush on the MC, related to the antagonists in some way or another... Where'd you ever get the idea he was Rei?

Did someone say "hostage situation"?

38 was last week, this week's 39.

They're probably gonna air it anyways because contracts.

No CN show nowadays can even touch the terrible look of Problem Solverz, the show that literally made an online cartoon reviewer nearsighted when he hadn't been before.

It's not exactly a "rule" in the strictest of sentence, but more of a happy coincidence. I watched Sym-Bionic Titan all the way to the finish to make up for missing the last nine episodes on regular CN, sat my ass down for Jack Season 5 after plowing through the first 52 episodes - 30 of which I watched in almost an entire sitting less than 24 hours before premiere night! - and am planning on checking out Primal when it premieres on [as] proper. Compare that to Thundercats, which I only watched the first two episodes of but never bothering beyond that (and for good reason, from what I hear), and Beware the Batman, which I didn't even care for enough to start watching. It wasn't until I got into Gotham a year after CN lost the rights to Beware that I started really caring about the Batman mythos.

When it comes to subjective matters, everybody's right.

At what point did Jingai become the stereotype of a grumpy old man?
