I can only hope DIU dub has already wrapped, considering all this "damage control".

No, it's just that I'm expecting them to dub Persona 5 eventually. Don't take every "not yet" as a sure sign that it's absolutely positively definitely going to happen.

Not yet, it doesn't.

It was Kevin Penkin's soundtrack that got you through it, wasn't it. [search your feelings you know it to be true]

3 quarters with only 1 score and a tease that pissed off Spongebob fans everywhere. Yep, not the greatest Superbowl.

Welp, Zeni's going to jail. [and nothing of value was lost]

As of this morning, I am now GAR for Reigen.

DRAGONBALL SUPER - Tie game! Looks like the exempt universes get first dibs at seating. Oh, is that the same element that broke the Z-Sword? That fat pink female Supreme Kai is actually kinda cute. JIIIIIIIN!? Dang, are fights against Destroyers normally this destructive? What a disappointment. The sickest joke in the universe: leaving a Destroyer to do a job that goes against their very title. Vegeta and Frieza's banter is pretty great. Oh Yamcha, you cuck. "Don't you realize the stakes?" [Goku gasps happily] You Saiyans and your aversion to teamwork are really something. Whis remains the best boy. Holding hands with Frieza? How lewd! And that there was the last line Bulma's original seiyuu ever recorded for the character. That announcer for Tropical Cop Tales is the most annoying promo voice I've heard since Bucky Larsen: Born to Be a Star. Well that's getting fixed quick. Again, Whis is best boy. They have wings, flying's just part of their nature. Oh hi parallel universe Frieza. SURPRISE CHAMPA. Whatever you do, don't piss her off, you'll have flashbacks to the Broly Toei wants you to forget. "Not a punch has been thrown and I'm already sick of the 7th Universe." Quote of the week right there. Oh no, they're bonding. The true darkhorse finally arrives. Goku, that guy nearly bearhugged you to death, simply saying hello is not your brightest idea. [teleports behind you] "Nobody expects Patrick Seitz." And, of course, 2 and 3's teams showed up without fanfare. I like that classy professor guy with the 3rd Universe. Acrofatics. Krillin showing off that Destructo Disk. TOKUSENTAI! TOKUSENTAI! The Tournament of Power begins... next week. Hmm, so Fox God was voiced by Asta. BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - It's all about that chakra control. Oh Denki, you're supposed to be the smart one! "Hey, speaking of whom..." Shino don't get no respect. Does wall-climbing even count as ninjutsu, or is it just basic training regardless of type? If only he had a crampon... Thanks, Lee. "Uhh... what's 2 plus 2 again?" Congratulations, you are now worthy of wearing the green jumpsuit. One step at a time. I don't think saying "repeat" by itself is enough to trigger him. It's like back tingles, only less stupid-sounding. Yeah, going into the Master's program at the same university as your undergrad is kinda like that. And that goes without mentioning what happens when you're dual-degree... These two are the most unexpected BFFs. Appraisers can see the value in all objects, but can they see the true value of a Popeye's box, let alone the reason why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Upside-down training, go! STUDIO CAMEO OF THE WEEK: Pierrot published their ninja study guides. That's a lotta jalapeno for just one burger. Oh, it's ghost pepper, I can understand the pain in their tastebuds. Eating one himself is punishment enough for the pain he caused. Something tells me Shino's gonna throw them a curveball... Or a call for a Good Samaritan works too. Guards, this woman has lost her composure. I blame Sasuke for this. Meanwhile, others are blaming Boruto for another thing. Time to put those electrical engineering skills to work. On goes the Rock Lee jumpsuit. You can't have public service in this show without it being some ninja variation, apparently. Your Talk no Jutsu's not refined enough for you to just cover for them like that yet, Boruto. In the end, their roadblock was the true test. Why does that one guy in the background look like he has cybernetic eyes? Again, the most unexpected BFFs. MY HERO ACADEMIA - You say that, and yet it didn't take much on Cementoss's part to win his match-up. Communication is key, and really something some people in their class should work on. Your humorous asides are always appreciated, Present Mic. So what you're saying is, Froppy is in fact best girl. Oh shit he can make Titans. Remember that tongue flick, that'll be important later. Shadow vs. shadow. See, I told you it'd be important. That's a freaking peg-leg he's got. Congratulations, animal friends. PIGGYBACK MANEUVER. Try stepping on the individual rubble pieces like in Mind Game! Or just throw him through the exit, that works too. There's just something about Power Loader that disturbs me. Iida's the only person who can be both cool and uncool at the same time. The only thing that interests me about this League of Legends commercial is what studio animated it. (Someone tell me plz.) AAAAAAND HE'S BACK! You can just tell from her face that she desperately wants to be useful. A simple pause was enough to notice she was making nesting dolls, but it took me a little longer to notice they all look like her. I'd have guessed she stopped because she was too busy sharing her complaints. I missed Aizawa's goggles. A ninja who binds people with tape, who does he think he is, the Kinky Kunoichi's unseen mentor? On that note, here's a gratuitous chest shot. "She's still a child at 15." Well that certainly explains some questionable fanart I've seen. I completely forgot that Momo got two votes in that election. You thought it was a nesting doll, but it was I, a flash grenade! That split second of Angel's SAO 3 reaction face made me happy for some reason. He should name that attack "Ice Age". That's a thick super-scarf. No words for that concluding scene, I just sat back and let the victory wash over me. She came this close to jobbing. Another gratuitous chest shot. Still, it's nice to know that the person that rack belongs to has emotions and feelings in her own right. I never would've thought Todoroki could be that dense sometimes. Dammit, Wikipedia promised me there'd be another fight this week! I was wondering why my MHA recording had more time at the end than usual... Turns out it was for the SAO promotional. I really should've taken that into consideration. MOB PSYCHO 100 - Thank you, Mob's internal logic, you finally foiled the machinations of the Curse of Angel. God I'm gay for oblivious invincible Reigen. 1000% GRATITUDE. Eat your heart out, Ghost of Netero! Clearly getting surprise slashed across the back did wonders for his confidence. Oh hey it's the neon city from the opening. SICK BURN REIGEN. You use that word, it does not mean what you think it means. Hey, they don't have to take the mask off if they don't want to. Sakurai is what happens when you don't want a kid but are too cheap to get an abortion. That's one serious face. Now that's a hilariously terrible childhood experience. BEHOLD THE ULTIMATE POWER: A HANDGUN! God I'm gay for oblivious invincible Reigen. His Talk no Jutsu is the most powerful. Gas Mask Loli was actually Gas Mask Geezer, who could've seen that coming without looking at the ANN cast list? His goal is to have the ultimate babyface. "See? Out of the mouths of babes, no less." Thanks, Ginger Esper boy. PHASE OUT. Oh Dimple, you useless thing. And now we return you to everyday life. I almost forgot he sees most other girls as vegetable-heads. She totally wants his D. Oh hey, the student council prez looks normal now. How nice, he actually joined their club. And Mob's still suffering. That floor texture is Black Clover levels of lazy. I do like how Teru's a good guy now. Even Reigen hates Dimple. Heh, one of the Japanese cast credits is "Potato Girl". And the original manga author key animated for the finale! Wait, is this some type of Refrain Boy remix I'm hearing? Mob and Ritsu's mother is the only normal person in this show. Oh shit, the real leader is Ginger Esper's old man. So where is he now if not Japan? USA? Australia? "This is News Mob; go fuck yourself, Seasoning City." Ah, so this must be ONE's segment. This post-credits job is making me wanna go take a walk in the woods, and what better time, with the 50-degree weather outside! So many Matsutakes. Don't eat too much, or you'll be haunted by wasabi zombies. Simply put: season 2 on Toonami when? 10/10. You do know real life Native Americans living in the white man's culture don't call themselves names like "Sparrowhawk", right, marketing team? MEGALOBOX - So this is the power of protagonistic popularity... not bad, not bad at all. Also goddamn I love Jap rap, puts its American equivalent to damn shame. Hey, as far as some people are concerned, a near-zero chance is just as good as 100%. Bang Zoom angles their subtitles, hence they're the best dubbing company, barring their "anime is going to die" and "we'll quit dubbing if piracy continues" comments from a decade back. Holy crap, I never realized how dark Nanbu was compared to other people. That pee doesn't look like it's got a healthy color, Joe. After the last couple fights, Gear vs. Gear fighting just seems archaic in comparison. Well this sure fits the definition of "lucking out". The bubbles on the edge of the cup are a nice touch, I can see why that one /co/anon lobbies for TMS as hard as he does. TOO MANY BRUISES. Always think ahead, even when thinking immediate. Sports anime are all about those bored room meetings. Huh, so not even she likes her brother. Huh, Arial instead of Verdana this time. I guess claims of an unfair advantage work too. Truly his gear is like a second skin. So much sibling drama up in here. Just when you think SAO couldn't get any worse, BAM! Death Gun 3: The Reckoning. Eat it or beat it, that's their motto. Not even he was expecting the punch to come at him like that. SHIT COUNT: 1. That's a huge-ass tire. This song is Gonna Fly Now meets Eye of the Tiger. Oh hey, that picture made a return. Going through the ducts is the best way to break and enter. Just take care not to fall off that ledge. [insert Team Satomi cheer here] REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "He looks like Dan of Steel." And yet he has the voice of Georgia's first black mayor. Mikio, you douchenozzle. Thanks for the unorthodox save there, Nanbu. Welp, the crowd's definitely gonna riot now. Dammit, this was last week's credits! First W'z, and now this... What crap luck I have this weekend. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - Oh no, it's the Morio-cho Radio jingle, that means something disturbing's about to happen. You gotta love that slow rock music. He's gonna jack off with that hand later, I can just see it in his face. The great Neil Gaiman once said that within even the dullest man is a world or hundred of amazement and wonder. Sadly, his involves jacking off with the severed hands of random women. Milk bread, that's double emotional poison for me. And what the hell's a rusk? I'm not sure what's creepier, him caressing the sandwich with that hand or him speaking sexily during the whole affair. Welp, you break it, you buy it. SAO's rapists of the season have nothing on this dude. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DUWANG. "If only I had some embalming fluid." I wouldn't be surprised if that pun acknowledgement was dub-only. His Haki puts the fear of god into even the beggiest of dogs. And now for some wacky comic asides with the JoJo Universe's trio of Eds. I'm convinced that those spikes on Shigechi's head are his hair, which just so happens to be the same color as his skin. Hiragana's fine, but katakana's the master race. TRIGGER WARNING. That's hardcore, Okuyasu. Don't do it, Little Shige, you'll get killed! [seething intensifies] Koichi/Yukako confirmed for an official item. Oh Shigechi, you so cheap. Acrofatics. Well that was a slightly wacky sound effect. What kind of gym storage has a kitchen anyways? "Obliterate", odd choice of words but I like it. Hey, sometimes the best friends are real jerks to one another. Oh Okuyasu, you and your complicated tastes in food. First Joe loses his only shot at Megalonia, then SAO postpones the aftermath. What crap luck they have next weekend. Crisis: averted. But at the cost of Josuke's credibility, it seems. Crisis #2: averted. But at the cost of Shigechi's composure. Kira's loving listening to this argument. "I have to start locking this place up tighter than Sister Lily's vagina." Yoshikage Kira: the luckiest serial killer history will never know... until now. SHIT COUNT: 6. (Cue slight regret towards rating Kunoichi 11 TV-MA.) And so the beans - or rather, the hand - have/s been spilled. Yeah, "closet weirdo" about sums it up. He's telling you all this because he knows you won't tell anybody. Eh, Killer Queen's a better name, but I guess this will do. [superbowl!]

Tonight on Toonami, after much delay it's finally time for the Tournament of Power to begin, Denki and Iwabe realize they need to improve their ninja skills and book smarts respectively in order to graduate, the UA teachers put class 2-A through a wringer they have to overcome as the practical exam continues, the apparent felling of Reigen makes Mob go berserk in the season finale of Psycho 100, Joe finds out he needs more than just popularity to make it past his last fight and into Megalonia, hilarity ensues as Shigechi accidentally steals David Bowie's severed lady hand of the week, Noelle seeks help from Asta's swordfighting teacher as part of the ongoing effort to cure his arms, Pouf and Youpi's combined grief over Meruem's death leads to non-sexy results for a change, and nothing screams anime original filler like a wacky arranged marriage plot. 11:00 - Dragonball Super #96 - The Time Has Come! To the Null Realm with the Universes on the Line!! - TV-14LV 11:30 - Boruto: Naruto Next Generations #16 - Crisis: The Threat of Failing! - TV-PGL 12:00 - My Hero Academia #35 - Yaoyorozu: Rising - TV-14V 12:30 - Mob Psycho 100 #12 - Mob and Reigen ~A Giant Tsuchinoko Appears~ - TV-14LV 1:00 - Megalobox #7 - The Road to Death - TV-14LV 1:30 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable #21 - Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly, Part 1 - TV-14L 2:00 - Black Clover #55 - The Man Named Fanzell - TV-PGV 2:30 - Hunter x Hunter #128 - Unparalleled Joy and Unconditional Love - TV-14 3:00 - Naruto Shippuden #235 - The Kunoichi of Nadeshiko Village - TV-PG 3:30 - Attack on Titan #46 - Ruler of the Walls - TV-14LV 4:00 - Pop Team Epic #11 - Cursed Mansion - TV-14DLV 4:30 - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans #32 - My Friend - TV-14V

If you're looking for visual comparison, I think MB's character designer - who also did designs for Michiko & Hatchin, which itself was done by Champloo's studio - is a better point of reference. Show them the script written by the bot forced to watch 1000 Hallmark Christmas movies. That'll probably scare them off. I like to believe that Yukako actually decided to dial down her crazy when around Koichi as a result of their STAND battle a while back, but still leave it unchecked with others, like Aya and that dude who yelled at her when she jaywalked. But yeah, that's an apt comparison. Pre-moe era yandere, moe era yandere, post-moe era yandere. Personally, the humanoid half of Pouf's reaction face freaked me out more than the ant half. Tonight's schedule will be posted later, just expect it before 11.

W'Z 5

Having narrowly defined interests is completely normal for ""Aspies"". (According to here, anyways.) You calling me out on that is like one nun telling another that she needs a man in her life. Specifically, this one.

I don't know why either of us even try anymore.

One of the many reasons Jam-Orbital is one of my favorite fetish artists. When his work inspires you to crank out an entire 12-chapter anime-style story in a two-year period, you know he's good.

Finally, an excuse to post this.

Is it even a question at this point?

Oh, Blood-C. You make Blood+ look decent.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Adult Swim Infomercials.

Welp, that puts me one step closer to believing the meme that we're gonna lose the Family Guy reruns to Disney.

For what purpose.

Just when I thought you've said the stupidest thing ever, you keep talking.

In a way, I feel both smart and dumb for just ignoring Vic's IRL skeeviness and instead cracking jokes about it during the shows in which he's a part of when appropriate.

W'Z 4

As a starter, avoid the dubs of any anime on this list. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2516 Trust me, I'm doing you a favor suggesting you skip Space Dandy 19, and my problems with it have nothing to do with Vic Mangina.

God Ben pisses me off. Some anime should help get my unyielding rage against his kink-shaming, autism-hating self under control. DRAGONBALL SUPER - Did we really need a recap of that clip of Bulma calling Goku stupider than usual? I still think Baba's ghost helper is oddly cute. Frieza's choice of words is amazing. "Tortuous saccharine barrage..." EVEN SON GOKU IS AFRAID! Now's not the time to be a moralfag, Mr. Enemy One of Seven Universes. Omae wa mo.... shindeiru. Oh damn, he's gonna secondhand Hakai him. Gotta love Frieza's sense of style. Rule #1: Never underestimate Frieza. He can do whatever he wants, because he's Lord Frieza. Those are some fancy-ass adult Big Wheels that rap troupe's got. Now, what to do with that Hakai power... Curse you, Frieza, and your chronic backstabbing disorder! The tournament grounds are definitely looking more complete now. Oh, so he's using his grudge against Goku to test his abilities... LORD FRIEZA: MASTER OF THE DEAL. And he's got a bigger ego than Kaiba-boy, at that. Yeah, I'd imagine that's against some rule. BEERUS EX MACHINA. He's pissed, yeah, but being pissed is far from being the highest item on his list of priorities. DOUBLE PUNCH. I love telepathic conversations. That "Table of Contents" gag was easily the funniest Tigtone's been in what little I've seen of it. BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - It's been several weeks, but it feels like two days. That kid shoves "Y'know?" into his dialogue more often than his father did "Believe it!". Holy dialogue lip flaps mismatch, Batman! You normally get this type of fuck-up from shady online streams, but then again, the Toonami broadcast of MAR 9 did happen... That's oddly concerning of you, Sarada. The homolust is strong in Mitsuki. Every generation has to have an Ino-Shika-Cho, it's practically ninja law by this point. Yep, one lip flap off on all fronts. It's almost as if she had something to do with it... Thanks for the spoiler, Inojin. Neat, the power character is there in all four of those kanji. Your post-timeskip voice is still weird, Iruka. Oh hey, Naruto got off early for once. It's always awkward between these two. Shut up and eat your home cooked meal, Boruto. This kid's gonna crash this car on purpose the first time he gets behind the wheel, I can feel it in his face. This cell looks way too sci-fi for the Narutoverse. Second act, and the audio's still slightly mismatched. Seriously, VIZ, what the fuck. Well that second round of flag capture got over and done with rather quick. Gothloli ninja a best background character. Shino's clearly overestimating the trauma (or lack thereof) these kids have felt. Who's this random buff-o? Congratulations, Sarada, you've just been promoted to homeroom teacher! Meanwhile, Metal's blasting off again. I like that Chocho isn't as badly triggered at being called fat as her father was. SURPRISE INSERT SONG. Be glad it was just the scaffolding that got wrecked and not the building behind it. Oh shit she back. This is a warmer welcome than she ever would have expected. And Boruto's there on the sidelines, playing the wannabe cool guy. THE SAUCE HAS RETURNED. Kaguya's the ultimate endboss of Shippuden, that's all I'm gonna say about her for now. To think in Shippuden at this point, Sasuke would apologize for the exact opposite of what he apologized for here. Take that, crack in the fabric of space-time. Fuck this guy's lack of teeth is disturbing me. MOB PSYCHO 100 - Curse my crush on Midnight for making me avoid watching MHA with others in the next room over so soon... Just as I thought, he just wants to know why Mob isn't answering his calls. How sweet, a childhood flashback. And now we return you to soul-crushing reality but with psychic powers. Or none, since this room's suppressing them. It's so nice to see they've moved past that rough patch. T_T Wow, Ginger Esper's surprisingly more decent than these scarface dudes. And that's how Reigen inadvertently convinced the 7th Divison Lackeys that he was the leader of Claw. Truly he is the master of the long con. Okay Reigen is definitely one of my favorite characters now. And so the self-proclaimed master and student reunite. "Don't try and trick me with your fake whispering." If not for those four, things would've gone by almost smoothly. "Feel free to Google me." The world's a much bigger place than you'd expect at first glance, Reigen my man. Welp, Mob's in trouble, and I never thought I'd be saying that. REIGEN KICK! He's not wrong, social situations are pretty tough. Behold, a yen coin on a string! REIGEN PUNCH! The deadliest plastic sword since the one that killed Lelouch. Reigen may be a master con man, but he's no master of the deal, at least when it comes to espers. THE MOST POWERFUL CHUNIBYOS KNOWN TO MAN. "My salt!" God the sakuga in this show is amazing, it's criminal that I don't know who animated most of these scenes individually. "My wig!" Okay, I'll admit, Reigen's kind of in the wrong here. 100%... interrupted? "In the end, you're the one who's gonna be suffering." Hm, sounds better than "if you kill him, you'll be just like him", that's for sure. Oh wow, I totally forgot the episode title hadn't shown up yet. Neat, a flashback of their first meeting. Reigen's heart's definitely in the right place, even if he lies his ass off half the time. "Welcome to the exorcism business, partner." REIGEN NOOOOOOOOOO. 100%... resumed. Toonami doesn't air theses, but the next-ep previews normally feature Reigen as the narrator, and in light of his... unfortunate circumstances, Mob took over this week for the season finale preview. MY HERO ACADEMIA - WARNING: this morning talk show may contain language that's not suitable for younger viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. FUCK YEAH MAI HERO WAIFUS. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "I'm guessing Poke just passed out." And I would've, had I not watched Mob and eaten some lunch before this. I personally prefer the ultra-thin fabric myself; the initial outfit's nice, but you can only aroused by bare skin for so long. (But then again, latex and zentai have been side fetishes of mine since middle school...) I can't help but feel I've gotten myself into an anime love triangle situation... If and when Mineta dies, I call dibs on his Figmas. Ah, final exams. I had only one last semester; got all As for the first time in a long time. (Seriously, not even a minus to be seen.) I wonder if and when Plank's ever gonna speak... Oh my god guys I think Mineta is my spirit animal and I'm 95% sure that's not a good thing. The top 5 trio right here. And then Momo attracted herself a study group. Damn, she sounds rich as alllllll heck. I bet Bakugo only got 3rd so he could lord it over Deku whenever the situation suits him. Hey, at least it's not last place. My parents are screaming over the Purdue game in the kitchen right now, maybe I should've watched Chad Clover instead to balance it out. "Mmm... soba." Oh dear god it's Blonde Douche Boy. I'm gonna imagine Ben as this guy from now on, he's just as punchable and facetious. A Kendo is fine too. And then Deku started considering all possible options. Parasyte Dandy tells it like it is. Stay mad, Bakugo. It's nice that you aren't threatening to kill Deku and all, but damn, don't you think you're going a little overboard with those threats. Aizawa's gonna make this test hell for Bakugo, I can just tell. Momo is an unexpected cute! ORCHESTRAL STUDYING MONTAGE~. That went by super fast. YESSSSSS MORE MIDNIGHT. Nobody expects the principal! I'd change my icon to that Menacing!Midnight image, but my bound-and-jam-gagged bust of her seems to be disturbing Ben quite nicely, so I'm just gonna stick with that for the next month. Deku and Bakugo: the Oddest Couple. I actually got super-excited when he said "I AM HERE!", and none of you can blame me. Hell for Bakugo, indeed. Toonami's too poor to make any real goodies - hence the hour of programming they're dropping next month - so have more music videos only Demarco knew about before now. At least this week's one has a good animator behind its production. Damn, that dude with the construction equipment for a head is tiny. Oh wow, for a second there, I forgot that All Might was a part of this meeting. I had a feeling it'd be Mineta and Sero against Midnight. What the hell is with that hip-hop speak, Mic. Take the Reigen option and run away if it's the best option for your team. But what about hiding to win? You now remember Hatsume. I guess it makes sense for Team Dekugo to go last. Bakugo had the decency to just walk away and not say anything, that means he's learning! Aoyama would totally make out with his reflection and get the mirror pregnant. These meatheads. This exam makes comps look easy, and I'm not even taking those until next year. So which teacher's this then? I don't recognize him at all. MEGALOBOX - The more some things change, the more others stay the same. The writers have to be having as much fun writing this crowd dialogue as the VAs are saying it. SHIT COUNT: 1. SAVED BY THE SIREN. Heh, he's making him eat his words. This is definitely the kind of show where the fights are more worthy of attention than the next quip that comes to mind. To be fair, 50/50 is hard to get down perfectly. Oh no, it's totally about revenge, it's just secondary to the other thing. As they say, war is hell. To quote a lesser robotics-enhanced sports anime, "the past is over, the future is now". If you can't fight him with fists, fight him with words. And then your fists. This ten-count will finish after these words from your national sponsors. This is what you get for not installing adblock, you maroons! I almost forgot that dude had a fake arm. Here's a hypothetical question: how long can you trigger someone with the same phrase before it loses its effect? Until that someone's prosthetic leg starts to give out, apparently. God I love 360 rotating action shots. Motion comic-style action sequences aren't too bad either, when they're done right. Huh, wasn't expecting a forfeit. He won, so he doesn't feel bad about passing out right this moment. But was it the constant boxing or the training for it that started fucking up his stumps? "Tomorrow starts today," that's a better quote. Oh hey, that's the ticket that broke him out of suiciding. Like I said, early 2000s-core. This dude is bara af. That's as good a non-answer as any. And now Yuri's caught up on all that went on behind his back. Shut your face, pretty boy. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - In which Josuke and Okuyasu fill Koichi in on their little side adventure with/against Shigechi. Could this be remorse over coming on too strong with her STAND I see on her face? Whoa, butterface at two o'clock. And apparently a lucky one at that! NOBODY EXPECTS DAVID BOWIE. "Aya Tsuji" sounds like a last name in its own right. I feel these haughty sighs are gonna get old quickly. $10 for a true love makeover, now that's a deal! Those eyebrows... Oh, 1999-era CGI, you so wacky and unrealistic. She'll choke you to death with her hair if you mess up, so I wouldn't underestimate her subtle threats. WHAT ELSE BUT A STAND. Wow, her eyes really do look more attractive now. And her face looks cuter on the whole too... You heard it here first, parfaits are manly. Well look at that, it's time for Koichi's 4:00 meeting. I bet it's lactose intolerance, lots of Asians have that problem. Yukako just don't give a fuck. This interaction is starting to get kinda lez. REALLY LEZ, IN FACT. Even when laying down, JoJo characters just can't stop posing for the fourth wall. That hair STAND of hers is super-versatile. 1000% SPARKLING. NOBODY EXPECTS VIC MANGA-KA. Clearly the solution is to kill Rohan. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "You know the two of you could really bond over the fact that you abducted him." I can picture that. Oh no, two of the JoJos are there, that complicates things. Hot damn, Faye Mata's really knocking it out of the park as Yukako. SHIT COUNT: 2. Even I gotta admit, that's one fabulous baby, I can see why Rohan took that picture. Even though it was ultimately a poor decision. SCUSE ME PARDON ME OUTTA MY WAY. [orchestral music intensifies] Only when you're an expert at it can you do it without the helmet. It's natural to react to hearing one of your friends made out with their yandere love interest by peacing backwards out a second-story window. Koichi now has a boner of the heart. "Okuyasu, did you have some of Tonio's mineral water again?" Whenever someone says AWOL, it's depresses me that the only way to watch that anime is to order a bunch of long out-of-print VHS tapes via eBay. He found her fast. Uh... or maybe not. Then again, knowing JoJo's bizarreness, that probably really was Yukako with fucked-up eyes. Damn, her sclera is fucked. IT'S MURDERIN' TIME. No takeback rules are just the worst. You're a kind and smart kid, Koichi, way too good for Yukako. Ayatsuji's a jerk, but I like that she's giving her one last chance to fix things. You know you could have Koichi cross-reference each one to make certain it's the right choice. OH WOW I ACTUALLY PREDICTED THAT ALMOST. Truly Yukako has changed since her debut appearance. Sometimes I forget just how much guts Koichi has. That face fits really nicely. Hooray, good ending! BLACK CLOVER - As nasty as those forehead discolorations are, the wave pattern for the bottom edge of his burns is kinda cool. I wouldn't be surprised if Asta did have some sort of disorder beyond the whole having no magic thing. Being mean is Yami's nature, and it's one of the reasons he's the best. Jellyfish magic? Asta ain't good for much, but at least he can lift. Jillion isn't a number, Finral. I'm surprised you can tell it's a jellyfish from this angle. Let's mute the dialogue to give the diagnosis extra dramatical weight. Oh god, Yami really is the best. Woo-hoo, we're at zero stars now! Fuck yeah, barbeque time! Charmy's food love is definitely more tolerable when it's either on its own or kicking off the marathon of one-note gags. Admit it, you'd have laughed if he accidentally dropped the picture on the grill and it burned up. "You really need to do something about your fighting fetish, Luck." Don't make it gay, Gordon. Noelle's more of a representation of the modern tsundere for [as] anime than Tokine now, but still less so than that red-haired beta-harem girl Seina walked in on the bath that one time. And now for them to make asses of themselves for Yami's amusement. BLEEP COUNT: 1. "REGIONAL ELEVEN-POINT MEAT FORMATION!" "Huh?" It can be a special trick if he gets creative with the weightlifting. He isn't screaming like usual, so yeah, "off" is a pretty fair assessment. Nobody cares, Gauche, and neither do you, apparently. Now let's get serious. Having no arms is worse than having no magic, if you ask me. Wow, for a second there, I thought he was actually gonna cry. Try going for something other than the fish, eating it isn't exactly a strict requirement at a Japanese restaurant. Feels awkward when you're the only one that's yelling, isn't it?

Oh yeah, I have alligator jerky that needs eating. And here come the Nam flashbacks. I wonder if this universe's newspapers have funny pages.

ANIME CLICHE #542: If a girl walks in on a guy naked... she beats him up.

Thank god this is fiction, otherwise I'd be terribly triggered right now. Oh geez that face. And as if the ugly reaction face wasn't bad enough, half his face is true-blue ant for some reason. Consider Pouf flying away fate making up to Angel for seemingly killing Reigen. (Ironically, Reigen and Pouf share the same VA.) A lot of shit happened while you were down there, Ikalgo. "It only took them thirty minutes to wreck the whole place!" That's as long as your average anime episode! Being part-fish woman suits Palm, oddly enough. It's creepy black-haired yandere girl respecting her crush's boundaries night on Toonami! It shouldn't be too hard to find Knuckle, being the only shirtless dude on site. Now let's bust what little ass is left in this ruin! Great Scott, not another creepy murder child movie. You do remember he shrunk your time limit to ten more minutes, right? HE SAID GET THE FUCK UP. Oh Komugi, you have no idea what's going on. Your king is dead, bitch. Gon, you freaking madman. He truly is the most intimidating boy. Well, Killua is from a family of assassins, so that answers part of it. Someone gets this girl some tissues. It's like a Hellmouth up in here. Stay sad, Pouf. Dammit, Youpi, I thought you were cool!
