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? Okay, so which member has a cousin they're using for excuses? Ah, the glorious food chain. Don't make it gay, Gordon. Also, your subtitles should be dubtitles. And then they were Gourmet Hunters. 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. And here come the tears, and an appropriate time to use them at that. Let's mute the dialogue to give Noelle's destination extra dramatical weight. Her location is classified. ANIME CLICHE #542: If a girl walks in on a guy naked... she beats him up. Tropical Cop Tales looks and sounds annoying as hell, but part of me wants to see it just for the context of all this crazy shit. HUNTER x HUNTER - When all else fails, just nuke your problem away. 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! The cloven hooves looked better when he was quadrupedal. Pouf is crying hundreds of thousands of twin waterfalls! Post-nuke Meruem reminds me of that old lady fish from the chocolate episode of Spongebob. "Behold the ultimate weapon of destruction: a handgun!" NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - I actually remember seeing clips from this episode in one of those monthly sakuga MADs I watched back in high school. For whatever reason, I remembered Konohamaru as Kiba. It was probably the whole "two clones at once" thing.

I see. Well, consider it a good thing the only people I follow on Twitter are RogerSmith2004 (trusted companion and fellow ratings enthusiast) and Jam-Orbital (fetish artist and inspiration for NIBAI MUGENDAI's current replacement as my key fictional work).

Which one, if you don't mind me asking?

Joke's on him, I won't even answer the door.

God, I wish Ben would just ragequit the Internet forever already. Having to bother with his attempts to come off as normal even though he's anything but has gotten so goddamn tiring over the years.

Japan's weird like that. Besides, you shouldn't complain about first-cousin incest when there's a whole genre of series about the immediate sibling equivalent.

I blame Rohan.

The only thing you're right about is that it's a gag and not just a mask. And according to the artist, who's well-versed in drawing such types of gags, it's way more breathable than one would assume at first glance. The way you say that, it's like TV ratings are all my life is about. I have other, more normal hobbies too, y'know. And besides myself, Blatch, RogerSmith2004, and a couple other weirdos who've fallen by the wayside, there aren't many people with this super-niche hobby, so you've got me there, at least. Kinkshaming and bullying Aspies when you're a (self-proclaimed) Aspie yourself... you disappoint me, Ben. I hope we never meet in real life.

You should have known as far in as the opening theme in the first episode that it was gonna be pretentious.

What makes you say that? If anything, Sumire is a much more sensible spelling than the same but with a T tacked on the front end. Lots of Naruto/Boruto names come from various one-word Japanese terms, with Sumire's coming from 菫, meaning "violet". (All "tsumire" gets me according to Nihongodict is 摘入, or "fish balls/dumplings".) Given Sumire's hair color, her namesake is fitting. For one, there's the hip-hop styled soundtrack. For another, and I'm paraphrasing 4chan here, there's Joe looking like "a more focused Mugen". The Queen actually namedropped Meruem's name on her deathbed ages ago, but as it wasn't recapped and was pretty quiet, I can see how that might've slipped by you.

And then he leaps over it at the last second... ...into another open grave.

Tonight on Toonami, Frieza gets a little last-minute training in against an armada of assassins from the 9th universe, unlike his father Boruto actually gets to choose who's on his three-man squad, even superheroes in training have to take midterm exams, Reigen makes a sudden guest appearance at Claw's hideout (presumably to ask Mob why he hasn't been answering his calls), Joe realizes he stands less of a chance against Aragaki than he thought, Yukako gets a makeover in the hopes it'll make Koichi avoid her less, Asta receives a diagnosis on his broken arms, Pouf and Youpi arrive to see just what kind of aftermath Netero's fight against the King currently known as Meruem has wrought, and the war preparations give Konohamaru an unimportance complex. 11:00 - Dragonball Super #95 - Most Heinous!

I know "two years worth" was supposed to be some sort of metaphorical descriptor on Kawahara's part, but memeing the greatest Gary Stu of the new 10s into being able of such a biologically impossible feat is too funny to just shoot down.

FUN FACT: Vangeance was voiced by Jerry Jewell for this episode instead of Josh Grelle. I assume they did this so Yami's claims that Vangeance and Licht sound alike made more sense.
