Good thing I always thought California was the superior dubbing state.

I normally don't predict dub casts (anymore) but Todd Haberkorn better be Buccellati, just because I can't read his famous line in any other voice.

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!

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.

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.
