I call you an idiot for thinking I'd even bother with trivial bullshit like that.

You do like Avdol and burn it.

Wasn't it mostly just that one dude that doesn't even come here anymore?

Finally, an excuse for me not to chew people out for being morons using actual words.

Cowboy Bebop 14 (rewatch) Senran Kagura Shinovi Master 3

I think you're confusing Infinite Stratos with Bleach. Now that's a derp face.

Watched Neon Genesis Evangelion 11 and Ghost Stories 20 last Friday. Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa 19 today.

But did Black Clover beat JoJo again? That's the important thing.

All the more reason to learn to read the damn thread before making duplicate posts. Or do you still not do that because you don't care if you look like a moron doing such things?

Same here, but you don't see me bragging about it.

Hey there, everyone. Now, I know my intention was to post this little-known contribution to the endless Internet repository of ideas for anime that don't exist (as anime) week by week, but unfortunately, this week's posting of Kunoichi 7 will be delayed due to various reasons. In reality, it's because I scheduled a meeting on campus that I can't exactly pull open my laptop for frivolous B.S. during, therefore shutting out any opportunity to deliver it on time. However, in the context of the alternate reality I made for myself where Kunoichi is a legit anime, it can be attributed to the staff makeup. The outsourcing studio credited to the episode filed for bankruptcy a few months after I completed writing, so many of the folks at Pierrot - who are actually much better animators than their taste in outsourcing partners suggest - had to pitch in to get the episode finished. And from what I've read about how notorious a perfectionist Toshiyuki Tsuru is with the things he directs (Gungrave and Naruto movie 3, in particular), that's all the more reason to push it back: to make it "look" like the episode didn't completely shit the bed like this being studio drop's last credit would suggest. Though if you're looking for more realistic reasons, consider that the timeslot I selected for Kunoichi on TV Tokyo is currently occupied by a rerun of Mr. Osomatsu Season 2, consider that the month/day airdates are the same as they were last year, and consider that episode 13 aired on 12/26 (12/25 our time) instead of waiting another week before resuming cour 2... All in all, this gives me more time to get episode 12 written and out, and more time to take care of any school stuff that may interfere with the writing process. Sadly, it won't give me enough time to try and rush the MAL watching challenge to the finish, but hey, at least I've finished over 1/4 of my planned action items at this point! So yeah. Don't be alarmed, just be patient. You'll get your weekly dose of Kunoichi in seven days, so wait 'til then to file your complaints.

Congratulations, you have already failed No Nut November.

WAY TO BE THREE HOURS LATE TO THAT PARTY.

Actually Midnight's voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell, who voiced Ymir in AoT. I keep telling you people, community and staff be damned, ANN is your friend.

MY HERO ACADEMIA - Deku can't be doin' with all these fanpersons. For whatever reason, I like the look of rainy weather. "If it's about my brother, don't be concerned." He is alive, but he is very badly injured. Informatics? Sounds scary. I've seen Aizawa with the bandages for so long I'm actually kinda not used to seeing his face. So that's nine of the twenty who already have specific offers. Nobody cares about you, Aoyama. It's always daddy issues with Todoroki. Shut up, Mineta, you didn't get any offers either. FUCK YES MIDNIGHT! That's not a hero name, that's a sentence in a foreign language. Well no shit he ain't French, have you even looked at his name? I'd a Xenomorph Mina. And like that, Tsuyu got an eternal nickname. (Froppy! Froppy! Froppy!) I never realized how red Kirishima's hair was. All Might Jr. is the best one. Deku's mom, you're adorable. YAYYYYYYYY. Eh, I prefer Octopussy myself. Shoto's hero name should be Icy-Hot. Mineta's, meanwhile, should be the Grapist. (Bonus: were he and Parasyte Dandy to team up again, they'd be Tentacle Grape.) Goddammit Bakugo. "And Midoriya, I guess." Well that sounds terrible. Thank god these markers are dry-erase. Bakugo's all, "First: what? Second: the fuck?" right now. Hooray, Midoriya got an offer! That means he's one up on half the class. Not even Goku can believe it. Byyyyye Midnight~. Well we know which agency Todoroki won't be interning at. It's Mineta, he's always thinking something perverted. Swish. I didn't know trembling could count as exercise. SUDDENLY ALL MIGHT. As in the Clint Eastwood movie? I never expected All Might to be the kind to get PTSD. This dude's a well-deserved case of full-body gangrene away from being a Ninja Turtle. Being very badly injured is no laughing matter. I just noticed their costume suitcases are numbered based on the Japanese alphabetical order of their surname. (Ashido = 2, Iida = 4, Midoriya = 18...) REVEEEEEEEEENGE! Is it just me or does that building look an awful lot like the League of Villains' hideout? GRAN TORINO IS DEAD. Or not. In fact, that "blood" might just be a bad ketchup spill. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - With every episode, Gai's seasickness keeps getting worse and worse. Remember the battleship filler from Hunter x Hunter 1999? I do. FUCK YES IT'S OBLIGATORY FULL OPENING WEEK. A battleship island, I can believe, but one with its own gravitational pull is just crazy. And then he drowned. Now that's a stereotypical pirate if I've ever seen one. It's so easy to forget that Naruto got that forehead protector from Iruka. This filler captain looks like he should be voiced by the Monarch. Thanks, Yamato. We all live in a wooden submarine~. Someone please get Gai a six-pack of barf bags. Finally, now people can play as either Ash or Gary in the context of the original games. Secret tunnels are a leaky submarine's best friend. "Stairs! We have found stairs!" Such is the price of being implanted with cells that technically don't belong to you. And then it was a hot springs episode. True to his word, Gai has also found some straight-up Scooby-Doo shit. And then he was one of the Bloods. "What are you doing?" Filling the void on his forehead, obviously. Careful, Naruto, tie it too tight and your brain's gonna get even more damaged. Well, at least he went in expecting laughter as a response. That one clone worked so hard his red headband turned black. Spoke too soon, Gai. Being a minor filler villain means you can abuse your own henchmen without worry of mutiny. LOGGED! Wherever pirates and ninjas share screentime, there must always be a debate as to which one's better. CUSTOM WATERSLIDE NO JUTSU. You gotta love a good ol' fashioned wipeout. He got his headband back, and that's all that matters. BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS - RICK'S CATCHPHRASE OF THE WEEK: Burger time! I kinda love that Naruto has his own brand of water in this future free of filler pirates. Did you just forget that Mitsuki could see it too? Hey, finding whatever possessed no less than five people takes priority over cleaning something that's just gonna get messy again. Oh boy, we've got a mouthbreather over here. And a stalker too, not surprising in the least. "It's not as if everything's gonna lead to a rampage now." Hey, you never know, being in a shounen anime and all. When she means "eating properly", it means eating more than just the one thing. Oh Japan, you and your wacky flavors. Always support a company's incentive to try new things, even if that new thing is totally bogus. NEAR-DEATH BY VENDING MACHINE. Eh, looks more creepy than handsome. He's into the delicious brown, obviously. Turns out he was into the chick who's nobody's kid all along. HAWAWAWAWAWA. I honestly don't need these flashbacks right now, show. Mitsuki doesn't get it at all. TOO MANY TERRIBLE HIGH SCHOOL FLASHBACKS. Real good advice, Chocho. Mmm... busty. Okay... at least I never did anything that self-destructive in my days of high school crushing. It's raining looseleaf! He must have a serious case of carpal tunnel after writing down all of that. Am I the only one who mistook those smoke bombs for volleyballs? Denki's here! *biff* Denki's dead! Sumire's creeped-out face is on point today. For all the minor mistakes I made in high school, I'm glad ending up like this guy wasn't one of them. Mitsuki likes to watch. CHENGXI HUANG SAKUGA SPOTTED. You say that like improvising never works. KENICHI FUJISAWA SAKUGA SPOTTED. It all comes back to snack food in the end. Ooh, black potato chips. "Make your personality as handsome as your face." You say that like ninja don't expect to get stabbed every day. If only things worked out this well in real life. Mitsuki's fading smile will be important later. Burger time! Again. Well chakra beasts are a thing. Why am I not surprised that "Narutonic Water" is orange? As long as he doesn't have to deal with pirates again, he's golden. "Why is Boruto the only one who can see it? Besides me, that is." Huh, that's an ident I haven't seen before. DRAGONBALL SUPER - That's a low blow, 17, but not exactly an inaccurate one. "What is that!?" A UFO, obviously. I still love how ridiculous Goku finds this whole scenario. You gotta love the Instant Transmission. He's tracked him down at least, but bringing him on board's gonna take a while. 17 is an underappreciated character, I'm glad they brought him back for this. Why does this guy sound like he's gonna fuck the thing? Heh, Goku's a temp. These humanitarians are gonna be disappointed when they find out he's mostly machinery. His monocle looks like a scouter lens. "20 million's not enough!?" Depends on the exchange rate to zeni. Great, he's a suicide bomber. Did the people who made this promo not watch the post-credits sequence this week or something? Teasing Gran Torino as dead really loses its effect when we all know he was just pulling a prank of ambiguous intentionality on Deku. But Beerus, that actually happened! Probably. The mean cat-man. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED! I'm sure your bomb will kill the animals, no question, but Goku and 17? Nahhhhhh. "Let me go and everyone walks away safe and sound." Even the animals? Wait a second... does 17 not know that Krillin wished his booby-bomb out of him? When there's no other option, go to King Kai's. Look on the bright side, at least the explosion isn't a 100% inevitablity this time. Thanks for the valuable intel, Super Kami Little Green. Streamers out the nostrils, this sure is filler all right. "Well I'll be an Oozaru." You can't not love 17's personal jazz soundtrack. Today is a good day for Jaco. Even if you wanted to send a thank-you, I doubt you would, with the universe under threat of non-existence and all. Nice of you to come around, 17. He never did get that boat he wanted to steal and take to Kame House, so consider it making up for lost time. People focus so much on fighting taking to priority for Goku, that they just forget that he does care about allowing others the chance to live to a degree. For a second there, I thought he was talking about 16. Hey, Nessie! MOB PSYCHO 100 - BODY IMPROVEMENT!!! Well, at least he's got spirit. Patrick Seitz's characters are either bros or assholes, there is no in-between. Glad to see Body Improvement Man is a bro. Psychic powers, activate! These guys have some great reaction faces. Ah, so that's why their club exists. Mob's not interested in alien lifeforms, only esper stuff. (Time travel is a gray area, though.) OH YOU BI-huh, not as bitchy as I anticipated, shows what I know for trusting the first few sentences of a Wikipedia synopsis. Still, at least he's got Reigen looking out for him. YESSSSSS MY FETISH. Process of elimination, my dear boy. That was easy. LOL. Be careful, Mob, you don't know it yet but you just walked into an orgy pre-game. WAAAAAAAAVE. Wait, didn't I see that girl in the cold open montage last week? Oh, so he's that guy from the OP. Welp, there goes most of my interest. Well, as cult-y as this looks, at least this grand wizard of a man speaks some decent wisdom. I kinda like this reporter girl. Clearly under that mask is an LCD screen hooked up to a YLYL video stream. Welp, she's a goner. Her forced smile definitely looks more natural than the other guy's. As I thought, Mob is immune. For now, at least. Ohhhhh, surprise eyecatch! Go home, Jean, you're drunk. FUN FACT: Mob is a rare example of a non-lactose intolerant Asian. You snooze you loose, business suit Seitz. So what exactly did he put in that milk, anyways? A couple lemon drops to make it curdle faster? SAVE US MOB. And now it's time... for rape. Wow, 74% already. In the end, it turned out this dude was the biggest jerk of all. I can't believe we're this close to 100% this early on. So this is what a Vietnam flashback looks like... AND WE'VE REACHED ONE HUNDRED. If only more anime characters were this badass when max emotional. Huh, 100% Mob's actually kinda handsome. RAZOR BEAM. Boom, headshot. Meanwhile, Reigen's enjoying his own burger time, from MobDonalds. Remind me never to let Mob listen to this song, lest he be triggered again. And then he was their new god. DIMPLE LIVES! As a good guy, apparently. ATTACK ON TITAN - He's late because he was busy watching his shit machine at work and lost track of time in the process. Titan transformation liquid sure is an enigma. His uncle swiped the container, so of course Levi gets to have it. Oh Dhalis, you and your shit machine. I don't recognize half these people. It sucks that this is the season finale, we're all dying to know what's in the damn basement already. So how many people have to die before Levi becomes the HNIC? Okay, who else was expecting Levi to summon Star Platinum with that pose? Erwin, you're a madman. Sasha's mind has been blown. LOUD ROCK MUSIC! Why is Sasha so best? Okay, even for a show with as much gore as Titan, Marlo's nosebleed is hella ridiculous. It ain't the likings of a Jam-Orbital piece, but that bondage will do. Ah yes, we all remember her great meat heist, even if it was just one helping. And then it became a Trost flashback. So how's Conny a genius again? Because he came up with the idea to use Titan Eren against the Titans? Yeah, let's say that was it. Eren vs. Jean is a greater shounen rivalry than all the popular ones, and more believable too. It ain't a party without at least one fight. Mikasa's totally getting horny watching them duke it out. SHIT COUNT: 3. Thank you, Levi. Sasha's gonna stay tied up, just as Jam would want. I dunno, they're Ackermans, I'm sure they could do plenty alone. Is this what they call group flashbacking? Life beyond the walls sounds exciting, even though many of us live it every day. Another Titan bites the dust. As long as some make it back, I'm rooting for them all the way. It begins now, but resumes in six months. Hey, how'd those two get there so fast. SURPRISE FULL LENGTH ED! Okay what the fuck was that that ain't normal. HOLY SHIT GUYS I'M GETTING TOTALLY SPOOKED RIGHT NOW THIS IS KILL LA KILL 23 ALL OVER AGAIN ONLY WORSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST NUI DOING THIS TO TROLL US. Next season: Ackerman vs. Ackerman, hopefully available in 4K. Okay, now we're back to normal. Let's just forget that flash forward even happened, mmkay? JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - A TV-14 episode of a series that was all TV-MA to this point? Unthinkable! (Trinity Blood and Blood+ say hi.) Well, at least he checked the boat for you. Shipping containers are my personal favorite parts of harbors. Never trust a model airplane, or the older brothers who punch you for breaking them. I'm not surprised Joseph can afford a ship this swanky. If only you met him before now... "Mouthbreather"... was that ever '90s slang? It's Chili Pepper's user! And he's a rock star, possibly. As they say, there's no such thing as a non-eccentric STAND user. Josuke don't fuck around. HOLY WHAT HE JUST POPPED IT BACK INTO PLACE. And now for a sick-ass guitar solo. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Remember when Kars used Lisa Lisa as an air guitar." Yep. Everyone claimed he was mouthing the opening riff of Roundabout, but to this day I swear I heard Dueling Banjos. I'm not sure what's happening from a logical sense, this must mean the show is doing its job. Alright, now I get it. Whack-a-mole on steroids. Great plan, Josuke, you did it. Now destroy that oversized plane before he thinks to escape on it. Now who in their right mind would celebrate Thanksgiving with a marathon the weekend before? Okay, that sounds worse than the idea I thought up. Check it out, it's David Bowie! They're fighting so fast, the animation can barely keep up. "And to really drive the point home, I'll be sure to charge my electric bill for the month to your address!" Now that's just evil. I love it whenever the protag tricks the antag by having the antag trick the protag right back. JoJo's really good at that sort of thing. Saltwater: his one weakness! If so, then what a pose for him to die in. He called him Osomatsu, a reference I'm sure only one of you will get. Goddammit Otoishi, will you ever quit? And now for something a little more low-key. Strange, do boats normally drift like that while coming into port? I know this is supposed to be tense, but this game of "who's the imposter" is hilarious. Great job, Okuyasu. SHIT COUNT: 1. And now for the most awkward father-son reunion ever. Keep in mind that Josuke could very easily have fixed his cane but chose to be the crutch instead. Now if only Okuyasu would understand that. This town may be safe from that wannabe punk rocker, but not from whoever's going around making breakfast and taking baths with severed lady hands. BLACK CLOVER - BEST RATING BEST RATING BEST RATING. Also a bunch of stuff with Gauche, but who cares about that guy. Part of me wants to call rip-off on Asta biting Vetto, but still, nice to see that he's learning some of his moves from the Goku school of physical combat training. The two halves of spectator emotion. Asta looks like he needs some Life-Alert. Whup, not anymore, he doesn't. Double whup, looks like he needs it again. I doubt it, Vetto doesn't really seem the patient type. Okay, I'm pretty sure that scene ruptured Angel's eardrums, unless she already did that taking a reluctant listen to Asta's Japanese voice. SIBLING COMBO. "Incredible!" Calm down, it was just one slash. What the hell is his kid voice even. How does that old man's hair stay up like that? Some type of magic, I bet. I'm surprised she can still sing through all this. And then Kiato was the "My Leg!" guy from Spongebob. Aaaaand there go her vocal chords. You've missed a lot while you and your people were holed up underwater, gramps. I'm starting to feel a little fatigued here, and that probably has to do with how OP Vetto is. "What's precious to me...?" Not your family, that's for sure. I trust Yami's confidence on this one. I know he's still alive in a hospital bed somewhere, but I still mess Fuegoleon. "You fool! Throwing her down like that is only making me stronger!" And that right there is a little something we call character development. Where Asta and everyone else failed, she succeeded. Good job, Noelle, I don't care what they say about you ("they" being your family and Angel). More gratuitous elfworld flashbacks. And the moral of the story here is, never breed across the species. "Damn, I was hoping screaming really loud would make my arm grow back!" Well, when that fails, there's always the really old-fashioned way. Welp Noelle, at least you caused him some serious damage, even if it was temporary. Already more useful a main girl than Sakura, Hinata and Ino combined. (Tenten'd be there too, but she's so useless her addition wouldn't matter much.) Damn, I guess Asta really is too stubborn to need Life-Alert. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "Fuck you Asta why aren't you dead." Because his magic is never giving up, especially on life. Even Mob's spirit buddy thinks he fucked up by joining the Body Improvement Club. HUNTER x HUNTER - Killua's gonna ice you or die trying, and he doesn't care which. Does it count as being Blanco if your hair is already naturally white? Oh shit, there's three Xs this time! La Killua Blanca is a most formidable opponent. What is the animation on these ogre illustrations even. This is just not Youpi's day. Thanks for the blatant foreshadowing, narrator. "Did he teleport away? Or was he never even there to begin with?" This is some surprisingly chill elevator music. They both sound like reasonable plans, but as he said, killing him's the best option under these circumstances. "Oh yeah, I forgot he can shoot things!" Ugh, human toes look weird on a lobster. I wouldn't really call the elevator "totally" destroyed, when the only thing that you did destroy was the door. Can't talk, too much intrigue. Lobster Claw Guns: they can get you out of any situation! Lemme guess, he's gonna escape through that tiny utility door? Awaken your inner MacGuyver, Ikalgo. I've really gotta start watching the Rocky movies. Funny how this episode is reminding me all about what bulkheads generally are. Didn't think that one through, did ya, lobster boy? I kinda love all these planning illustrations, really puts things in perspective. Run him over! Welp, so much for escaping the old-fashioned way. Is it possible to overdose on sleeping gas, because that's what I think Bloster's gonna do. AND HE'S OUTTA HERE. Yeah, I wouldn't advise shooting someone in close range while holding your breath either. Smart move, putting in that buffer for yourself. IT WAS THEN THAT MOREL REALIZED POUF HAD MADE AN ERROR. How nice of him to think of Morel as a worthy opponent.

When you think about it, a 4/5 is exactly a B- based on old-school scoring scales, wouldn't you agree?

Potential future marathon nights and reruns excluded, of course.

Is it just me or does that building look an awful lot like the League of Villains' hideout?

Fuck you, Ninja Turtle Wannabe.

I never expected All Might to be the kind to get PTSD.

SUDDENLY ALL MIGHT.

Well, we know which agency Todoroki won't be interning at. It's Mineta, he's always thinking something perverted.

Now that the naming round is all finished, here are some relevant images I scrounged up.

Shoto's hero name should be Icy-Hot. Mineta's, meanwhile, should be the Grapist. Goddammit Bakugo.
