Trunks Thread 19.1: A New New Frontier

PokeNirvash replied to PokeNirvash's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]

MY HERO ACADEMIA - Damn, that boy's got some powerful tear ducts. Todoroki's gonna beat the shit out of Deku. "Oh shit, he knows my secret!" He thinks All Might's his biological dad. It's a generational rivalry! All Might's gymnastics routine is amazing. "Why the cold shoulder?" he says to the guy whose shoulders are literally on fire. And that was the moment we all knew Endeavor wasn't worth it. We modern day arranged marriages now. Jesus Christ Todoroki's mother what the fuck. Seriously, it's like she's Heath Ledger Joker's dad, and he's both the Joker and his mom. "Let's put some fire in those eyes" indeed. And Bakugo heard everything. You can't be a comic book character without a tragic backstory, they say. SUPPORTER MONTAGE! I doubt Bakugo was purposefully trying to help you along in that moment. All Might and Small Might acting as the flashback bookends. And thus a new rivalry fully blossoms forth. Those Americans sure have some funny noses. FULL-ON FANSERVICE. And of course it was half Mineta's doing. "Why is it that I always end up falling for that little pervert's stupid schemes?" Because you're secretly in love with him, admit it, Yaoyorozu. Invisible girl a best of the week. I really have to show my dad one of these H. Jon Benjamin Arby's ads, he'd really appreciate them. MIDNIIIIIIIIIGHT~. Damn, surprise character development. By the way, that other kid who just withdrew is voiced by Asta. Midnight is the greatest. Welcome to the final round, Tetsu x4 and Thorny Vine Hair Girl. Kirishima/Tetsutetsu is an underrated rivalry. I highly enjoy Mina's positive energy. "Win so you can lose later!" Goddammit Bakugo. Hatsume vs. Iida looks like it's gonna be fun too. Those are some strange cards. Take that, Blonde Douche. Seriously, what's with that girl's yaoi hands? Staring at the wall = hyping yourself up. And so the master and pupil meet up for the first time in a couple episodes. When All Might of all people is telling you you're too pessimistic for your own good, you probably are. What a smooth transition between voices. The more Present Mic talks, the more I feel the need to put on closed captions so I can understand what he's saying. WE'RE PLAYING BY WORLD MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT RULES HERE! You call him a monkey, but Ojiro's tail brings to mind a lion, if you ask me. Well, so much for Deku's chances at getting past the first round. Neat, the changed up the lying-on-the-grass illustration in the ED. I've seen my share of ridiculous things in the past, but a dancing car is just silly. DRAGONBALL SUPER - Guest starring General Ivan as the Poison Furry. Hey Gohan! You're gonna LOOOOOOOOSE! What a lame subtitle. This guy sure likes evilly laughing a lot. Not even five seconds since the start and we're already going full DBZ. WOLF BREATH. Guy's got poison breath... and poison hands~. At least when Mr. Satan tricks the audience, it's for a good cause. SENZU BEA-goddammit Gohan. POISON POISON. Even Mr. Satan is shocked at Goku's questionable parenting skills. This guy sure sounds like he loves being a villain, the fact that he's voiced by one of the DBZ Abridged crew really helps with that. Do not disturb the hair. FUCK YEAH JAZZ MUSIC. He's floating, not flying, there's a subtle difference. So how long until Gohan eventually snaps? And then he became Shiny Golden Gohan. Fuck yeah, new lineup promo. Boo, Asta being the only one besides TOM and SARA with actual voicetime. Clearly you've never seen Super Saiyan, smug Kai. Didn't you hear All Might earlier, wolf guy? Luck is nothing but a myth and a Black Clover character. I've noticed that Beerus has been awfully quiet this episode. STOMACH CRAMPS! And now back to Gohan jobbing, already in progress. WHY ARE YOU SMILING GOKU. And now he's Purple Golden Gohan. "I won." Yes, but you're still a jobber. So it's either a tie game or a victory for Universe 7 after this one. SENZU BEAN! That foreboding music... Well at least you're only second worst. Thank you for wiping the smug grin off of that Kai's face, El Grande Padre. And now begins the blaming of the Goku. I'm not surprised that Whis is so chill about all this. Welp, Satan's out. Hey now, let's not forget that Beerus has destroyed more worlds for petty reasons than not. "Now what the hell makes you so special!?" He's voiced by Ian Sinclair, duh. FAMILY FISTBUMP. Next week, it's Goku's turn to take on the furry menace. ATTACK ON TITAN - Say what you will about this new OP being not nearly as badass as the previous ones - because you're absolutely right - but I really like it. I'm not too sure about the legitimacy of this argument but it's got me paying more attention than any of my college classes. Oh bullshit, you money-grubbing cockmonglers have been way more selfish than Erwin, who cares if he's been keeping the obligatory annoying Bryce Papenbrook character to himself? That one guy sounds like he's on his way to being an Ed Blaylock soundalike. Does the king ever speak? MP Dandy is officially a Dandy guy. OBJECTION! This is obviously bullshit, but I like everyone else believe it. WAY TO GO MP DANDY. Oh hey, it's the judge guy. Corrupt government higher-ups, you just got served. This whole scene is great, it's a shame it's gonna get shit numbers in the ratings. He was sleeping this whole time, no wonder he wasn't saying anything. (That said, it's impressive how he was able to sleep with his eyes open for so long.) Oh good, that approach was a false alarm. Sasha's faces are the best. And that was the shortest time anyone was ever on the lam without dying or getting jailed at the end. PARTY TIME. And that's why for how terrible they are, humanity is capable of plenty good. A brief heads up, on the day before the Boruto premiere I'm gonna list off some spoilers that will be unavoidable once the first episode hits, so be aware. Oh yeah, I forgot Armin was this show's narrator. You definitely sound like a scoundrel, judge dude. Well that's definitely a disappointingly brutal end, but at least it's better than shitty American horror movies. And it was only in that moment that he remembered he had an illegitimate child he could use as an heir. Maybe there's a secret inside the chapel basement? MEANWHILE, IN THE CHAPEL BASEMENT. Holy shit, it's Rule 63 Eren! Welcome to the Ice Cave. SHIT COUNT: 4. Those are some damn cult robes she's wearing. FLCL ALTERNATIVE - I was rewatching last week's episode yesterday and noticed there were a bunch of those giant pins sticking out in the background of various scenes. I see they're still increasing in number now. Dogs love Haruko. Hee, she's using it like she used Myu Myu in season 1. Wow, the underlying situation's getting heated up already? Not the first female construction worker I've seen in anime this week, surprisingly. Nice moves. No one ever expects the second splash. But hey, at least she prepared for the first one. And now the guys are getting shirtless for some reason. Hey, that sketchbook doesn't look like food. Random volleyballs. Teacher Seitz is great. What's with the random pink highlights? Even fat girls can be fashion designers. Her first name is "Man", no wonder she goes by the nickname. "Is there anything you can't do?" Bring Ed's mom back to life. Good move not going full spicy like last time, Glasses Man. An escape route, you say... Whatever Ramen Master Blum was on when he had that epiphany, I want some. When all else fails, put down "professional student". Even fat girls can be multitaskers. "You're eating your fingers." Welp, Mossan's dead. You've seen Sexy Nurse Haruko, now meet Sexy Doctor Haruko. I'll take that as confirmation that she's bi. Well you do have a nice-looking forehead. Heaven exists, and it's filled with the most deliciously weird food combinations. Overwork: not even once. Mmkay, so being big runs in the family, then. DIIIIIIING. Now that's some nostalgic scene composition. And then they all became construction crew. Haruko's here as part of the package deal. Nothing'll happen until you swing that bat. You do realize they're just trying to help you, right? Heh, I forgot the promo included the Japanese subtitle lyrics. I'm jealous of people who can just spin themselves around like that. The pins, they're everywhere... No matter how much you kick it, you aren't gonna move it like that. See? Your N.O. activated, that's the kind of thing kicking giant pins you don't know about does! Why hello there, TV buddy. NOOOOO TV BUDDY. "You've got no self control." As do I. TOO MANY LOSERS. Haruko's random southern accent. "WHO EVEN USES DIAL-UP ANYMORE!?" And now she's rapping, this truly is the better sequel. Likewise, Haruko/Kana is easily the most functional relationship of the three. Beware the diet... Wow, she got over that fast. We just call it "Coke" around these parts. SUCCESS! Kana's dad's newspaper is all about the underlying plot progression. There's always time for an exercise sequence in your montage! OHMIGODATITAN. That one fashion show judge looks like a supervillain in the making. When you need a design for your emcee, always bet on a Nabeshin lookalike. Hijiri has the best outfit, but I like Kana's jersey and Pets' oversized turtleneck. I knew that girl sitting next to them would be important somehow. Sometimes it's more about the journey than the destination, and this is apparently one of those times. The winning dress was done in an Emperor's New Clothes style. It's Haruko, it's always Haruko. Fuck yeah, DJ Ramen Master Blum. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the Japanese character for "heart" on that dress. OH SHIT IT'S THE FASHION POLICE. Haruko and Blum, out! Mossan wins the award for best fat girl in anime. Next week, Haruko pays the Immigration Bureau a more personal visit than she would've bothered with back when Amarao was in charge. POP TEAM EPIC - TAKESHOBO! Even now, I have no idea what that whole opening sequence was. Already we're knee-deep into pretentiousness. Cuteness is in the eye of the beholder, they say. I recognize those test tube supermen! This board meeting has more proper nouns than Evangelion. FUN FACT: This anime was originally meant to air in the fall 2017 season but was postponed to the season after, hence the correction in permanent marker on those posters. Pop Team Epic is the most moe show to ever grace [adult swim], the Kirara-style imagery proves it. DETHKLOK DETHKLOK DETHKLOK DETHKLOK. Rule #1: never take Popuko and Pipimi too lightly. Never forget, never forgive, Takeshobo. All that effort and pizzazz, and for what? A lame kiwi card. Even for Bob Epic Team, that was super abstract. We now return you to the adventures of Victim Complex Hamtaro, a more befitting show for Toonami than regular Hamtaro. FUCK YEAH UCHU PEOPLE. I fucking love these original songs and how absurd they are. We now return you to Attack on Takeshobo, already in progress. Oh hey, that one Takeshobo dude's lying in Orga's death pose. ATTACK ON KING RECORDS. That Starchild logo sure takes me back. Akashic Records, you say... FUSION HAAAAAAAAAA. And then they were Shiny Golden Popupipikomi. And then Pipimi turned to stone, truly the downest of downer endings. Oh look, Japanese Justin Bieber is here to save the day! Huh, so apparently Pipimi was actually Kate Oxley using a fake name. Truly the greatest surprise of all. Hellfest is proof that American horror movies have a concerningly large boner for killing frightened teenagers in gruesome manners that deserves to be chopped off with a guillotine blade. What is with those stairs, though? Random Pokemon listings are not proper nouns worthy of your nihility farce! Hegemony does sound sweet. HAMLET DETHKLOK! The outcome of this card upgrade will be important later. Oh hey, it's a different Bob Epic Team. Leave the rest to Pipimi's stunt double! I AM NOW ONE WITH THE CUTLET. "Epic team poppin' pop." Or something. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE~. Now that's what I can an obscure Japanese-only JoJo reference. Has King ever used that lion logo in the past? And this time, Pipimi isn't stone! Aw man, they cut the part where he was wearing his own face as a mask. COMING TO ADULT SWIM IN 2019, HOSHIIRO GIRLDROP SEASON 2: SAVING ANIME BOOGALOO. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE - And then he died. Such guts, Koichi. Well those sound effects weren't disturbing in the slightest. IT'S ANOTHER HAND! Funny how this is just as prejudiced towards frightened teenagers and yet I don't get as angry as I do whenever I see an ad for something like Hell Fest or the new Final Destination or some other stupid bullcrap. Dang Josuke, that's savage. At least it's got a healing factor. This is what happens when you watch too much Steven Universe while alone in your room. Damn, wasn't expecting him to survive that rocket blast. That thing fucked somebody and had kids with them!? Minus the warts. Well things sure got sentimental in a hurry. Naturally it'd be DIO's fault. I guess the beatings are another reason to kill him dead, even if those have technically long since passed. This must've happened at the same time as DIO's remains being exposed to the sun in Cairo, the time zone difference matches up. Damn, this backstory is very heavy on the feels. Thanks for fixing it for him, Josuke. Even Okuyasu was brought to tears. T_T Night Dick returns! And this time for more than just fun-poking at his outdated hero name. Okuyasu the Optimist. ANOTHER STAND USER JOINS THE FRAY! Does it count as a heroic sacrifice if the one dying didn't know he was about to take a mortal hit? RED HOT CHILI PEPPER. Even in his dying breath, he blames Okuyasu for everything. Oh no, Keicho's been Persona 4'd! Family always says such things the best. I recognize that meme! Jotaro isn't intimidated by your measly words. Your exploding phone trick... maybe a little. Too bad, Okuyasu's your BFF now. And he, like Kakyoin before him, is a MILF Hunter. I love that they froze on his hair being the only thing in frame. HUNTER x HUNTER - I could listen to Michael McConnohie read the phone book, in either his Bo-BoBo narrator voice or this narrator voice. Sasuke's Allstate wings, eat your heart out. How can he be a non-human hybrid if his face looks so, well... human? I like how Gon's the only one not immediately surprised by the raining arrows of light. "That's Grandpa's move!" Even the narrator knows that Gon doesn't give a shit about distracting happenstance. This is so slow-paced and I'm loving every moment of it. I'll be honest, this has to be the first time I've ever given a crap about what Shoot thinks or feels. INVISIBLE KIDNEY PUNCH. Bill Hader's expressions somehow both carry and ruin that ad. I love that tiny APR thing. If I woke up looking like Youpi right now, I'd run over to the nearest living thing and kill it. Well... that doesn't sound too promising. Meanwhile, Pitou's just hanging in the air watching the palace burn. He may be a drama queen, but damn if Pouf doesn't have the moves when flying dickfirst into danger. No, not the gungi board! I see, so Zeno isn't just Netero's ride this raid. ROCKET CAT. An energy so dark it scares even Pitou? Must be the king's, no question. Blind girl down! The king's face when he has no face. Shit's going down all over the place, it's hard to believe it's only been a minute since it all began, maybe two. I just noticed her snot trails are as small as they've ever been. Even the good guys gotta have respect for the bad every once in a while. I trusted them before, but now I understand why those who praise the Chimera Ant arc view it as one of the greatest shounen sagas of all time. For some reason, I initially took that fireman carrying the old lady on his back to be some guy in an eagle mascot costume. BLACK CLOVER - Sweet, a quick rundown on the Eye of the Midnight Sun. We all know Golden Dong guy is the traitor, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone else took the credit to save him the controversy. LAST CALL FOR BEST OPENING. Well butter my muffin, they pulled off the red herring after all. I knew I couldn't trust that dude with his strange grin and ugly excuse for a domino mask. You do realize the Wizard King's whipping boy's magic is making it so they can't possibly lie, right? Even Jack the Ripper is disappointed in your inclination for treason. A better lie detector than sodium pentothal, for sure. Which ridiculous nickname, Hammy or Mushroom Head? Clearly the animators were lazy with his grimoire. And then he was the Invisible Ham. I don't care what anyone said, Sleeping Captain a cute. Rule #2: always consider Asta when looking to outsmart the good guys. He doesn't take kindly to those words, Ham Boy. Young Captain's power is RGB static. You are now one with the death of analog television. Yami just wants her to wake up already. Hey, they get results, it doesn't mean they have to have upstanding personalities or anything of that nature. Young Captain's alright, I just wish his voice wasn't so childish for college freshman age. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "I dare you bastards to read my mind." Is it Yami standing on a mountain of the corpses of the rest of the cast, because I could see you imagining that. Yami runs his mouth because it helps certain people get through the show easier. Well that wraps things up. OR MAYBE NOT. Dimestore Blum sure knows how to get around. Yes, even the Wizard King makes mistakes. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "Every time the show uses those sparkle eyes I die a little inside." And for every piece of your will to live you lose then, I take it for myself. The underlying plot is preventing the rest of the Chaos Emeralds from falling into the wrong hands. Asta, pretending to understand things you don't clearly isn't your strong suit. Always be on the lookout for traitors. Surprise sepia-tone backstory, go! Never say no to free food, I always say. Always be gentle when saluting. "Guess even the comic relief gets nervous sometimes." It's official, Yami's able to break the fourth wall. Remember back in the beginning when this show actually sucked worse than it does now? BEACH TRIP NEXT WEEK! You're in an anime, Noelle, you're required by law to wear a swimsuit during a beach episode. Yami speaks the truth, feed the siscon to the sharks. That's a tiny swimsuit. I wonder who that girl standing there could possibly be... Hopefully someone not annoying. Please don't karate chop the man with no stomach in his weak spot, Recovery Girl. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Life is tough as the official sculptor of Mount Hokage-more. She got hit by one of Sasuke's blows against Danzo, of course she saw. Random asscrack. Beating him back to the side of good sure doesn't sound like "protecting" to me. Do you even know who Madara Uchiha is, Kiba? I love it when the show's art style goes this route of slightly different but not super-amazing. So much for your agenda, huh, old guys? Dang, they're really rebuilding things quick. SURPRISE GUY. I almost forgot their battles took the form of rock-paper-scissors. Ninja footrace, go! GOROU SESSHA SAKUGA SPOTTED. I love this display of stupid manly awesomeness. When isn't someone thinking about Naruto? They Free Willy'd right over those two. Shut up about Sasuke and get back to the race! There we go. How surprisingly chill of you, Neji. Of course Lee would be the tiebreaker. A WINNER IS KAKASHI. Challenges come and go, but rivalries are forever. HOW MANLY. T_T7 Whatever's beyond the Hokage, surely it isn't as bad as Tsunade's mountains of paperwork make the position of Hokage look. The OTN mask is part of the Kakashi look, it ain't comin' off even if you pay him in money. Oh shit, did something happen? Damn you, numerical confusion! For some reason I really like this meeting hall's atmosphere. Aw dang, Tsunade woke up. Well, Kakashi's confirmed the sixth thanks to that Boruto promo, so at least he isn't being robbed of the position forever after this. Life it tough as the official sculptor of Mount Hokage-more. What a rockin' ending theme.
