1. So... both then. 2. To quote his VA, he looks like the villain from Annie. 3. I can't say I'm surprised, this is the same show that took a blonde girl in a blue and white dress and unironically named her Alice. 4. I was legitimately surprised at the blatant product placement in that scene. Though it's not the first time that's happened in animated JoJo. DRAGON BALL SUPER - HAHAHA SUCK IT FROST. THE PROMISED NEVERLAND - For a borderline racist caricature, Krone is actually pretty damn fun. I love that she has her own motivations concerning everything, even if it's in a way that's more against Isabella than for the kids. And that tag music... mmm! So sublime. SWORD ART ONLINE: ALICIZATION - Here I was thinking turning the fucklight-humans in Underworld into rapist-murderers like Raios was the realization of Kikuoka's murderbot objective, when it was the Demon Realm laying waste to them that was it all along. I can't say I'm too big on it, for reasons you probably already know, but even if Underworld is doomed to failure no matter how you look at it, I do appreciate Cardinal giving Kirito an out in the form of ten - ten! - get out of jail free cards. Also, who else thought Cardinal was gonna kiss Kirito there? I was more than halfway convinced she was, so of course I was relieved that it was a more innocent hug. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - I can't say I'm too bummed about Terunosuke's fate compared to the others. Even so, Fungami earned major bro points for his rescue mission, and that "DORA!" as Josuke escaped the paper was just as sublime as the above jazz music. I thought Cheap Trick's Trap's "Piggyback, please~" was a dub outtake that made its way into the official version (a la "minus the warts") until he started saying it again and again. Even though Angelo's a rock now, I still don't trust Morioh's milkmen. HUNTER x HUNTER - Leorio uppercutting Ging with his Nen was just as hype as I thought it'd be, but calling him an "asshole" when HxH hasn't had profanity of that level yet was a whole different level of hype. Over on Killua's side, I have a lot of respect for his granny butler. That, and amazement at her various proportions. And the guts to just give Alluka her fingernail without question. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Boy do I hate the liberal media, and I'm glad Aizawa thinks the same way. You gotta love those pro heroes in action. (Also, Endeavor didn't get to do anything. ) Yes, I'm aware that All for One finally showing up and doing damage is a terrible thing, but what I want to know is, is Mt. Lady all right? BLACK CLOVER - I can't believe I'm at that point in life where I find Gauche a more tolerable character than Luck. The former may fawn over his sister to the point of it being creepily unfunny, but at least the show occasionally does more with him than that. (I, for one, enjoyed the way Pierrot hand-waved away him nosebleeding when his manga counterpart doesn't.) But with Luck, it's "fight this, fight that, fight here, fight there, fight fight fight". Of all the Black Bulls, he's the most representative of Gunners' "so one-dimensional they're insults to lines" assessment. "It's my face." Manson is low-key the best Bull. Asta may be ungodly loud, hard to get behind, and plagued with terminal oneitis, but he's a good kid, so I appreciate him helping fix Kahono and Kiato's debilitating injuries. Kiato calling Noelle "his goddess" certainly came out of nowhere. Methinks Asta got a mild form of PTSD from the Midnight Sun's first attack, if him attacking the haunted house staff (including Ha-Ha!) while thinking they were those zombies is any indication. And oh boy, that "Asta the Superman" song was painful to listen to. But between the 1/10 song and the 8/10 performance (I never knew Asta could juggle good), I give their cheer-up for that lost girl a 4/10 overall. Next week, Yami and Jack make like Bob Belcher and Jimmy Pesto and partake in a peeing race. (Not as dirty as it sounds.) BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - If not for him getting blacklisted/wrapped up in a lawsuit, I bet you anything Shizuma would've been played by Vic. Xander Mobus appears to be doing a fine job regardless, so good on him for that. I'm actually kinda relieved that Hachiya survived getting his throat slit. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Part of me wishes Angel still watched this, if only for this week and if only because I'd like to have seen her reaction to Baby Sasuke. In case any of you are wondering why I'm writing up my thoughts like this more often now, that's because my internship I mentioned months back is about to start next Monday, and as it's a full-time affair, I can't waste time pausing in the middle of episodes on Sundays to make attempts at witty comments without cutting into my other free time activities, so I'm making a gradual shift to the "discussion from memory" stage instead of trying to force keeping the same format only to fall depressingly behind like TopGun did. So, yeah. Goodbye spaz reviews, hello something more normal.

Because he's Araki's favorite character. That wasn't even in the first episode he showed up in. He first appeared in 14, that happened in 17, and it wasn't even technically "perving". And here's a relevant (for now) meme.

I've only seen one episode of Shuffle!, and let me tell you, Lisianthus is best girl.

It's more dialogue-based than it is action-based, but if this is a "this show doesn't actually exist but it should" suggestion thread, then this is the best I've got.

Not that weird, actually. Bang Zoom's VAs tend to voice one-off characters in episodes the main/supporting characters they play don't appear in. Since Killua's mom is absent from this one, it's no surprise that she'd be voicing the nen exorcist lady who visited Gon. Togashi's Sailor Moon looks very nice. And I assume those are Yusuke and Prince Baka on those pins?

I was. I got the implication that was the case from a previous thread. Of course. Anyone who calls anyone else out on lacking basic reading comprehension - something Elfie happens to forget every now and again - is good in my book. Also, thanks to the mods for deleting my two double-posts and my comment on such.

Elfie just got told.

The name's actually "Phantom Rouge", but since it was canceled, I can't blame you for the slip-up this time.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chad Clover. With both shows having the lowest and highest retentions this week, this image is more prevalent than ever before.

I propose we put Demarco on suicide watch.

Considering they only listed 8 VAs (4 for each episode), I'd assume they only dubbed it once.

So... how did the 4-version episodes work, exactly? Thank god there's just 1 version for each half-episode stateside.

Last night was ripe for meme images. The weak should fear the strong. Where the white children at, indeed. You can't not love a good Simpsons shitpost. And the more some people change, the more the others stay the same. Show thoughts later this week. Expect a structure similar to last week.

Asta's romantic endgame confirmed. https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/04/21/black-clover-anime-voice-actors-engaged-asta-noelle/ It's now a matter of when - not if - he gets over Sister Lilly already.

Lucky for you, Mochi posts 2D, so he's in the clear.

With an attitude like that, I wouldn't be surprised if he does downvote you again.

WARNING: Tonight's schedule rundown may contain some redacted racism. But hey, at least there aren't any Avengers spoilers in there. (Because I don't care for Marvel movies.)

I've missed these.

Could Totally Spies be coming to Toonami Jam-Orbital's Patreon account?

Maybe after AoT 3.5 and Lupin 5 premiere, we'll get more Crunchyroll stuff.

True, you have a point there. I personally don't mind getting Mob 2 later than we should, but damn, Demarco really shot himself in the foot by not using the Toonami-Crunchyroll partnership to get first dibs.

And no offense taken. Besides, I'm more of a Blues fan than I am a Blue Jackets fan. That's what happens when you have a St. Louisan for a father.

I can't help but wonder. Were you unaware this was recap, or did you know thanks to my schedule rundown and only wait until the actual recap started to start your pre-Hunter recovery break? Watching out of order and on different days this week. TUESDAY DRAGONBALL SUPER - I was expecting a Frieza episode, but a Frost one is good too. It's nice that Roshi managed to gain Beerus's respect, that's not easy for a human to accomplish. PROMISED NEVERLAND - HEARD YOU WERE TALKING SHIT. JJBA: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - I wasn't expecting Kanedaichi's face to be a mask, or his name to be a fake. I also wasn't expecting Mikitaka to look as attractive this episode as he did (no homo), nor for Enigma Mysterioso boy's voice to be so deep. And that cliffhanger at the end needs a Roundabout edit, if it doesn't have one already. HUNTER x HUNTER - It's no surprise why anyone would hate Pariston - there's a reason I was hoping Vic would voice him in the dub, despite that not coming to pass - but what I don't get is why Cheadle hates him for the reasons she does. Seems rather needlessly spiteful, wouldn't you agree? On the flip side, I'm really enjoying Killua's half of the plot. Whether they're terrible people or surprisingly decent, the Zoldyck family is never boring. WEDNESDAY MY HERO ACADEMIA - I'm not really feeling this "always follow Da Rules" side of Tsuyu, and I swear it has nothing to do with Monica Rial's role in the #KickVic scandal. At least Iida had the sense to tag along and make sure they didn't get themselves killed. Mt. Lady's involvement in this rescue mission, even if minor, should make up for the lack of Midnight this season (barring last episode). I love goateed gangbanger Midoriya. Aizawa looks odd without his facial hair. The citizens in this show are Marvel levels of stupid. And holy shit I think I'm starting to genuinely like Bakugo too. Won't forgive the years of bullying he put Deku through, but at least I've come to accept his enjoyable factors now. BLACK CLOVER - The Golden Dawn is so tsundere for Asta. Mimosa's voice sounded off this episode - too high-pitched and squeaky - I wonder if her regular VA was out sick the week this was recorded. In lieu of anything I've already talked about, Asta and Noelle's dub VAs got engaged over the weekend, so now I'm no longer sure what Asta's endgame in a post-Sister Lily world will end up being. THURSDAY Exam day, no time. FRIDAY SAO ALICIZATION - Kirito used to be an adventurer, but then he took an arrow to the foot. Cardinal's voice sounds very familiar, I wouldn't be surprised if her no-name VA was just an alias for someone slightly more veteran. And by god, am I a sucker for exposition episodes. BORUTO - Kagura's somehow like a parodic improvement of Kirito. Dangerously edgy when wielding a sword, a sore loser at card games, and averse to activities that may mistake him for a Gary Stu if he were to win them. And while the red card = Blood Mist Village/Kagura's shame over his body count, blue card = Current Mist Village/propensity for making friends in spite of it was obvious symbolism, I still enjoyed it, especially since I prefer symbolism integrated into events that actually happen instead of the abstract super-literal symbolism that Ikuhara's way too fond of. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Naruto's mom is cool. Kinda makes you wonder how more tolerable Naruto would've been had they lived to raise him like proper parents.

Come now, it's not that bad to have it after the fact.
