Why have goblins when you could have trolls instead?

Yawn.

I dunno, looks pretty anime-appropriate to me.

26 was Lupin.

Someone tell whoveer makes those charts to adjust their conditional formatting so there isn't as much yellow across the board.

Rape or no rape, Shield Hero is definitely a show that screams "I won't watch this unless Toonami airs it", like SAO before it.

Nick Creamer was bad enough when he was underscoring damn near every episode of March Comes in Like a Lion that had even the tiniest bit of heartwarming comic relief, but assuming the author of Shield Hero (which I had zero interest in watching before learning everyone hated him for superficial reasons) is a misogynist based on the actions of one fictional woman really takes the cake. At least Theron Martin gave the Senran Kagura sequel the time of day and showed enough benefit of the doubt to give Hand Shakers 2 a 3/5.

So... Remember back in Black Clover episode 11 when I made this comment. Turns out that was an early cameo of Grey's true form. I literally just found that out yesterday. Man, time flies. But on the upside, I guess I was right about her being important. It feels like it's been forever since I've seen the Toonami intro. DRAGONBALL SUPER - Oh yeah, I forgot the first show has dibs on the full 90. Clearly all the training he went through wore him out, I wouldn't be surprised if that was his first time training ever. Sometimes I forget how huge Top is compared to the average person. It's nice you want to help, Satan, but... no. Whis is the only one who can get away with throwing shade at Beerus 100%. MEANWHILE, ON ROBOT PLANET. You know, making your universe's Supreme Kai the same color as your Angel makes it hard to tell which one's which, even with the huge-ass halo and mostly bald head making the difference obvious enough already. There's no one in the world more overpowered than a robot with all the right upgrades. Reverse nosebleed. I can tell from that blush that Pilaf's thinking up another scheme. "Buu fell asleep!" "Again?" Does this mean this will finally be Yamcha's time to shine? Ya blew it, Krillin. You do realize you can just wish for 10 million zeni each if you win, right? Welp, he's banned for life. BROLY'S BACK, BITCHES. It takes more than just screaming like you're super-constipated to become a Super Saiyan. Try calling her fat, that always does the trick. I guess trying to poop out your spine really does make one a Super Saiyan, if only temporarily. Whoever that girl is, I can tell she's into it. Or maybe not. We now return you to Everybody Hates Goku, already in progress. I don't care if Goku's the hero or secret villain or whatnot, this is still hard to watch and yet I can't look away. Thank you, Beerus. Thank you also, Bulma. We Lord Freeza now. BORUTO - I feel like the show's making a futile effort, trying to hide who Mitsuki's conversing with through that random snake. Cloning tank flashbacks. Hey, Denki's gotten pretty good at all this ninja stuff. Is using shadow clones in a situation like this considered cheating? Well, you came the closest to finishing on record, and that's what really matters. (Extra props to the writers for not making the things run on Namek time.) Everyone fails, so that's why we're throwing this assignment out. Dang, Moegi grew up attractive. Yakisoba buns are the chili dogs of Japan. "I'm so fucked up." DRAG COUNT: 1. It feels so weird hearing them refer to Naruto by his title and not his name. Pretend the variables are food items, and the rest will solve itself. "Are you picking a fight?" "Unintentionally, yes." So he's like Naruto, but without all the childhood ostracization. Eh, I'd say he stresses Sarada out more often than the class rep. I wonder what that flashback meant... He has his snake dad, and that's about it. [GAY FEELINGS INTENSIFY] Huh, that's a new old commercial. Note how the dead fish in Boruto look less horrified than the dead fish in SAO. It's more like he was expecting him to stay late as he does 99 times out of 100. Well he did have his own show way back when. Hey, don't diss the ramen. A little of column A, a little of column B. Fast food is different from home cooking, you should know that. Late, yes, but at least he came back before the meal started in earnest. It's mutual goodness, you see. Aaaaaaand in comes work to ruin things yet again. Never mind, it was just a flashback. And it turns out I was right after all, sorta. Come to think of it, it's amazing that I've never had a rebellious teen phase. Hokage this, Hokage that, it feels like OG Naruto never ended. Snake Blum sounds pretty chill nowadays. If this is a love confession, I swear to god... Oh good, it's plot. MY HERO ACADEMIA - "You don't cut until I tell you to cut!" Huh, no credits this time. In any situation before this, Deku would've been the one with the most bandages and the two slings. Technically, he was lying on the ground about half the time. LIGHT NOVEL TITLE OF THE WEEK: The Chief of Police is a Dog and Somehow That Doesn't Surprise Me!? Oh great, another harsh lecture. Thanks for using common sense there, Todoroki. Oh good, I was hoping there'd be a bright side to all of this. "You know, you could've started with that." Yes, he could've. And in the end, their internships were easily the most exciting. Sounds like those two girls are kinda into Endeavor. I had to rewind twice there to confirm the reporter said Stain "has more victims" instead of that he "is more victim". All these guys (plus girl) you're seeing will be important later. Hero Kilometer? Nobody cares about you, Handjob Man, as it should be. Having nice hair makes Bakugo physically uncomfortable. DOUBLE DOPE SLAP. Because they're worth it. Geez, how many people did Deku even send his location to? So far, I have three. "Iida just got his test results back. He definitely has breast cancer a bum hand." Yes, let's just play some cheery Mickey Mouse music right after Iida received terrible, bone-chilling news about his non-dominant hand (assuming he's a rightie). Oh good, so it is operable. Almost forgot all about Deku's own hand problems. Todoroki has a hand curse. Icy-Hot the Hand Crusher, that's your new hero name. All Might's ringtone is the greatest. Welp, so much for the rest of Deku's internship. I'd say Stain's lack of a proper nose was more intimidating than his fanaticism. CHARISMA IS KEY. AAAAAAAANTS. It's kinda funny how Gran Torino's theory is ultimately unintentional on the League of Villains' part. "All For One", huh. Well that's certainly a fitting moniker. Random golden disco ball. What a surprisingly informative biographical video. Mesmerizing, too. Theeeeere's my murder-waifu of the year. But does Handjob Man know that they're coming? MOB PSYCHO 100 - The more these two are together, the more I'm tempted to ship them. I love Hanazawa's beehive wig. Getting out of there while the getting's good. DIMPLE OUT. Mob is the purest boy. Well this sure got dramatic in a hurry. The lesson here is that hard work does help, but only when balanced with outside influence. Truly the purest boy. Wrong Kageyama, psychic swordsman guy. You can't win over delinquents with diplomacy forever, Mob. Ironically, that guy who just came down is second strongest. "Let's not turn this solo kidnapping into a mass murder..." Well this is escalating quickly. The power a single death threat has on the majority is amazing. SHIT COUNT: 1. "That's..." The real White T Poison? As with everything else in history, exceptions have been made. With Durarara!! having namedropped "moe" and this show using the term "esper" without lumping it in with aliens and time-travelers, is there really any more personal need to have Haruhi on [as]? Painful, yet somehow easier to watch than lawlharem B.S. ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW MR. KRABS? My sister just saw the infamous Muppet-knockoff airhorn anti-smoking commercial for the first time just now, and her response was "Jeez..." You won't like Mob when he's angry, especially because he doesn't need to change size and color when he does. YUTAKA NAKAMURA SAKUGA SPOTTED. Oh shit, he's still awake. TRUMP CARD COUNT: 1. And then brave Sir Dimple ran away. You can't not love White T Poison. Plan Z: follow the original plan! Mob is an unsung hero to delinquents everywhere. FUCK YEAH PINK SALT. Tags: cheese_grater. Say what you will about Reigen's lack of sincerity, but he definitely makes the experience of people he's "tricking" worth their money. Oh no, more lectures, what ever will I dooooo. When all else fails, just blame Dimple. An organization called Claw, founded by Dr. Claw. Dimple's getting flashbacks to his cult-running days here. Such confidence... Oh good, no fatalities here. This show does misunderstandings the best. That's one hell of an introduction, I'll say. What the hell, English cover version? And a different arrange at that... MEGALOBOX - I like how he's trying to sneak in even though he's not exactly being secret about it. Holy crap that's a lotta boxers named after various animals. Now that's a good edit. Oh god a full bodysuit and OTN mask combo, is this show trying to turn me gay? Iglesias is a really cool last name, you can't deny it. Nice boathouse. I feel it's gonna be awkward hearing him referred to by an actual name. Welcome to the homeless district, fellas. Sweet, free apple. Welp, so much for your daily supply of fruit. Core and all? That's one hardcore street kid. Scratch that, they're all pretty hardcore, one or two cores less at the least. It's expensive, yes, but that doesn't make it any less impressive. Those kids really look like they came out of a different show. They're just Atomic Fireballs, no big deal. Well this is escalating quickly. So much ass-talk this episode. HE'S A MAAAAAAN EATER. Now call him fat so he can really unlock his inner potential. If you wrote him off as a joke, then why are you still here watching him? VIVA LA FREEDOM. STOMACH PUNCH. Hot damn this soundtrack is great. What a waste of perfectly good booze. We Grand Theft Gear now? ["Gonna Fly Now" plays in the background]. Sometimes I feel like Turner S&P is under-rating this show on purpose. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Michiko would be proud of that entrance." Agreed, even if it would've been better were he actually riding the bike. Welp, so much for that Gear being important. TASTE THE PAIN. This is definitely the kind of show where you get more out of watching it than commenting at every little opportunity. That said, that end to the fight was real exciting. I just love it when a crazy plan comes together. DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - Nobody expects Vic Manga-ka. The homoeroticism in this scene is palpable. Consider myself lucky, I've been living in the same house since I was born, so my childhood memories definitely have an air of freshness. Clearly that open alley is an enemy STAND! No opening this week, in case you were wondering what that copyright line at the bottom was about. "This map is USELESS USELESS USELESS!" You got Onodera and Numakura mixed up, subtitle team. Like I said, the alley's a STAND. Nice to see his STAND finally has a humanoid form. Josuke's a hater. TMI ROHAN TMI. Oh shit, an actual undoctored Pocky box! Is it common for creative minds to lack self-awareness? This sounds awfully October for January. Twenty bucks says this is the "humans can lick too" creepypasta. Eh, it's close enough. That ghost dog looks pretty calm for having a bleeding throat. There's a first time for everything, Rohan. How come TOM gets to say "Crazy Diamond" but the actual characters don't? Demarco being a blind idiot as usual? Koichi's just sailing in the wind back there. Nothing can stop THE WALL. Oh, so it's not a STAND, it's just freaking purgatory. Well at least she's a helpful ghost. Don't make things worse, Rohan. And about 25% of that "national average" is Angelo's fault, thank god he's a rock now. A gash so deep, you have to take her word for it. Truly Morioh is the Japanese equivalent of the town from Murder, She Wrote, only with one killer instead of one per victim. Might I recommend Josuke to you if they won't cut it? Or perhaps Jotaro? Rohan, you and your priorities. Rule #1: Don't Look Back! It's amazing how tense this show is able to make walking through an alleyway feel. GODDANGIT KOICHI. Thanks for the assist as always, Rohan. "Arnold and I will look back - a lot like that guy - and we'll be reunited with Mom and Dad." Wait, Little Rohan? Hmm, so that's how Japanese tombstones work... This old monk sounds awfully familiar. Who'd have thought that Rohan's backstory would be so inspirational (to him), maybe? Oh, Okuyasu. It's always a matter of "are they a STAND user" with the Joestars. There's something oddly foreshadowy about that line. Dang Koichi, two isekai attempts in one episode? You gotta watch yourself! "Hello, I'm David Bowie." And he's also that dude who's been chopping off lady hands and having sex with them, who'da thunk it? If he doesn't have a STAND, at the very least he has a Death Note. BLACK CLOVER - Going straight into the OP after the once-an-episode narration, already a bad sign of the inevitable animation downturn to come. Aaaaand we get a recap anyways. From point A to point B, without all the meaningless side stops in-between. Reminder that Asta isn't saluting because his arm's busted. Asta shouting, Gauche nosebleeding, Charmy stuffing her face, Vanessa getting wasted... yep, time to rethink my life choices once again. Nobody cares about Gordon, and that makes him a sad panda. And now we have Finral wanting to get his dick wet and Noelle acting more tsun than dere, it's like the horror never ended. "Oh hey Nero, you're tagging along too." "Of course, why wouldn't I?" Was that window always broken? I can't remember if Finral's VA is gay or not, if so then that makes his lady love all the more sensibly chuckle-worthy. Considering how chibi she is, I'm not surprised she's mistaken for being his daughter. He dropped her literally. Does this mean they get two gold stars this time? He's not crazy, you're all just unbelievably racist. Lookin' kinda wall-eyed there, Yami. He's only 28!? AUTOGRAPHS. Where'd he even get that quill? Wait, so are they heading for the village and they're seeing it via magic telescreen, or are they just looking out the window at them? Finally, Shyamalan's back to making decent movies again. You can just see where the animators stopped trying on this shot. As I thought, it's through the magic telescreen. Wait, that old general's not an old woman? REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "Did this guy steal that hat from Speedwagon?" Worse, he stole it from whomever he bequeathed it to in his will. Random blink-or-you'll-miss-it Japanese time-card. RECYCLED ANIMATION NO JUTSU. Okay so who took over for the Purple Orcas after their leader got jailed and what the hell their mouths didn't even move. Aim for his turtleneck! That spell name sounds three times longer than it should be. Heh, one of them has a magic carpet. The animation just keeps getting lazier by the minute. STOP, YUNO TIME. And I see his sprite got a new hairdo. I just realized that guy's eyebrows are coming out of his afro. And she can speak now too, such progress! Oh Yuno, you're a tolerable character. Everyone's a fanboy but Yami. The spank what now? Even if your plan gets the go-ahead, the hard part will be pulling Finral away from his attempts at picking up chicks. Nice to see Finral's aware of the sneezing superstition. And how are you gonna evacuate people without arms as direction signals, your voice? In the end, it all comes down to their boners for Yuno. Shut up, Finral's brother. Three outsourcing partners, that explains how bad this episode looked. HUNTER x HUNTER - Just how long have those people been standing out there, exactly? Oh hey, Palm actually looks serviceably attractive now, compared to her initial design. YOUR BATTERY IS NOW AT 100%. Killua brings new meaning to the phrase "silent running". That aura does seem familiar somehow. Customized mirror, go! Apparently she's become part-fish. NERVES STATUS: RATTLED. Friendly reminder that Gon's off the deep end enough already. That giant purple stone on her forehead disturbs me. "Once he sees what I have become, do you think that he's going to hate me?" I dunno, maybe? I love these chibi recap moments. HAIR CLOTHES. Press F for yo-yo #1. I don't know how, but she somehow just got hotter, moreso than when she did herself up that one time. On the topic of [adult swim] originals, I saw the first two episodes of Ballmastrz on Saturday. It's definitely going to be an acquired taste, at least. Oh yeah, I think I may have made a comment about her being an enhancer once. Damn that's an erotic murder face. (Yes, I'm aware of the gross double meaning.) Something tells me that he's gonna snap anyways, Palm showing up to say hi or not. I like that her outfit's vibrataaaand now it's not. I don't know if I can deal with Killua breaking into tears like this. Go away Pouf, nobody likes you. Random symbolism doll is random and symbolic. Well that explains the bloodstain on her dress. I still miss the penguin dude. CONSPICUOUS CGI HUMANS. I literally started applauding when Palm punched that tiny Pouf to pieces, and now my hands hurt. In only one episode, so much has happened despite seeming like so little. That's the power of HxH, and one that can only be appreciated by those with a college education. Nobody tells Youpi nuthin'. Bubble butts, chiseled cheeks, and what was that last one again? (Seriously, someone find me the lyrics so I know what the deal is with that yellow freckled ass-person with the heart tattoo and platform heels.) NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Here I thought this episode would take place off the boat. Guess that's what I get for expecting good things from filler. Especially one as repetitive (on purpose) as this one... Oh well, at least Shikamaru was involved this time.

I actually preferred it when everyone flipped over W'z turning out to be Hand Shakers 2 all along, but Shield Hero just had to steal its spotlight.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Master 3 (rewatch) W'z 1

No thanks, I actually kinda like it here. Then what's Appalachia doing in the southeast corner?

As an Ohio native, this thread offends me.

Hey, remember when this thread was about Black Clover?

One Japanese, two Vietnamese, four Chinese, and eleven Malaysians. Those are your key animators for the night.

Tempting, but I think I'm gonna keep myself in the dark until when it happens in the anime. (If it happens in the anime...) For now, I'll just rely on my icon for dirty thoughts about mai best-of-both-worlds waifu. Tonight on Toonami, Buu's sudden case of the Itis puts the completion of the Universe 7 Team in jeopardy, Boruto brings his most suspicious friend home for dinner, news of Stain's defeat goes viral in the worst way possible, the mysterious hooded psychic Mob detected two episodes ago makes Ritsu regret ever having an ego, Junk Dog Joe begins his long trek to Megalonia as most rookies do at the very bottom of the food chain, Rohan and Koichi investigate the mystery behind a haunted alleyway, this is the end of Black Clover's initial batch of episodes so I hope you like your action sequences animated by third-world subcontractors, Killua engages in battle with the absolute last person he expected to fight today, and Filler Hell returns to the not-so-coveted Tenchi GXP timeslot, where it rightfully belongs. 11:00 - Dragonball Super #92 - A State of Emergency!

Neon Genesis Evangelion 17 Attack on Titan: Junior High 5

That was last season.

Alongside my season-late catch-up on Senran Kagura Shinovi Master, I'll be watching W'z. Yes, GoHands might fuck it up like they fucked up Hand Shakers, but when you have chillout hip-hop artists providing the soundtrack and a character codenamed with Nujabes' real-life surname, how could I even resist?

Actually, Boruto's dubbed at Studiopolis, and it's hardly a simuldub. The two he's talking about are Mob S2 and Shield Hero.

I had a feeling you'd come around to Reigen eventually. Oh good, that makes me even more excited. Actually, it's more that the human Welfin was based on was (adopted) brothers with the NGL's leader. Not sure if he's the King's reincarnation yet. In other news, I finally caught up with shows, so here are my one-line thoughts on them. MHA - I've got nothing as good as what's below, so just take the time to appreciate my new icon. SHIPPUDEN - I liked how the sudden lack of light saturation on the boat after Naruto was pushed out of the way of the pulley - plus the psychedelic art shift when he did - foreshadowed the whole filler being a dream. BORUTO - And the filler itself foreshadowed Boruto's own clones having a little strike of their own. SUPER - I don't know who I feel sorry for more, Yamcha for being snubbed out of consideration once again or Puar for being perved on by Roshi. (Though his/her bunny-girl getup look was kinda cute...) MOB - Reigen is the greatest, and Ritsu's kinda fun as an asshole. MEGALOBOX - Lo-fi hip-hop 4 lyfe. JOJO - I was expecting part of Jotaro's body to be in the process of melting, but not the pus explosions. CLOVER - Yami is the perfect audience surrogate for this show; he genuinely wants his subordinates to improve, but can't help but show annoyance and occasionally murderous intent whenever they retreat to their one-note running gags. HUNTER - Even with all the body horror in JoJo and after watching four Shivering Truth episodes in a row (minus a small break at the start of the third where I got my first internship offer), I still think those centipedes crawling around in Ikalgo's head are the most disturbing [as]-related thing I've seen in the past month. Well, excluding that Stain/Toga fanart I saw in the MHA discussion thread.

Well isn't that obnoxious.

Did someone say CGI from 2001?

I don't mind cults, just so long as I don't get involved with them. Thus, general indifference outside of interest in the Toole Show article. (I'm surprised no one in the comments for that brought up the Aum Shinrikyo incident forcing the removal of plot elements from Evangelion's second half.)
