I'm sure a lot of you have already heard this news through the designated thread on this board, the article discussion on ANN, et cetera, but I feel this news is worth mentioning here. Another anime voice actor died recently. On Monday, Unshou Ishizuka passed away due to esophageal cancer. As one would naturally guess, he's been in many series featured on AS and Toonami. Roles from said series include Jet Black, Old Joseph Joestar, Dr. Gel, Mr. Satan, Van Hohenheim, Alex Rosewater, Zabuza Momochi, McMurdo Barriston, Quent Yaiden, and even minor roles such as Brilliant Dynamites Neon, Carnage Kabuto, the Spirit of the Harkonnen, and Kuina's dad. In fact, the first three of those roles, we heard Ishizuka's original performance for this past April Fools' stunt. It was quite the resume he built up, and he will be missed. R.I.P. And once more, fuck cancer. Every day it isn't cured is a day wasted.

So... Is This a Zombie, then?

Yesterday, I saw that the top comment on Youtube for the most recent Initial D: Fourth Stage episode I've watched gave Bunta the nickname "God Lungs". That comment seems awfully ironic now. R.I.P.

Just another reason Venture Bros. is better than most other Western cartoons.

I have got to get better at being timely with these sorts of posts. And just when I fixed by conciseness problem too... Welp, no matter. Before the overdue (and hastily put-together) rundown, the long-awaited announcement for Freezing's replacement.

Fair enough. Consider yourself forgiven in turn.

One Outs 23

HUNTER X HUNTER - Surprise surfboard! HAHAHAHA WIPEOUT. Who else thinks the ocean he summoned looks like beer? SMOKE RAFT NO JUTSU. And then he spun around like a Beyblade. Maelstrom, you say? Morel, you are the greatest. Oh, so that reporter you killed on-air was done in self-defense too? >_> Those giant waves look really cool, especially from "ground" level. I'd like to see him try the 10-Minute Bucket Challenge, he might actually be the first to come out of it alive! Bubbles, bubbles everywhere. I'd like to see those corridors, they sound interesting. And then he became a cheap 3D effect. A cat who can't swim, what a loser. Or maybe it was the deadly carbon dioxide that made him sink. Oh hey, they actually showed one of the corridors. If I remember correctly there were some sex toys lying around on the bed in the original manga version of this scene. The most dramatic elevator ride since the Big O finale. She's reached the place where Knov had his mental breakdown, now let's see if she can get beyond that. CHANSU DA! Well that's one effective way of pulling the rug out from under you. Welp, Palm's dead, let's see how Killua's doin'. Something about this nurse reminds me of Milluki. MELEORON HAS JOINED THE PARTY. Goblin nurse likes her cash. He succeeded, but at a terrible mental cost. Damn this kid is ripped. What a BITCH. Why does her face have to be so weirdly cute... IKALGO HAS ALSO JOINED THE PARTY. He's just a very emotional cephalopod. It's all about building up that tolerance. BLACK CLOVER - Dammit why are the cool characters always the ones that get nearly killed. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "So this dude is definitely just dimestore Griffith without his mask, right?" Probably, but they have different voice actors, so right now I'm guessing they're brothers. Good luck dealing with your yandere haremette having you in her thoughts, Asta. Dude in what possible universe have the strong and powerful ever been looked down on? MY LEG! "I'm not done!" "Yes you are." Like something out of a fanfic written to punish the character nobody likes. FUCK YEAH YAMI. That line sounded 50% sarcastic. Asta does not get sarcasm. Well, at least Finral's here, and that's something, right? It seems like him viewing himself as the most normal of the Black Bulls is his other defining trait. Suggesting healing the badass old nun first is the best thing Gauche has ever done in this show. [strikes down light arrow] "YOU'RE WELCOME." It's a Japanese sword, so naturally it's unbelievably awesome. Man, fuck those outsiders. Yami doesn't care for shaggy dog stories, especially ones where they shoot the dog at the end. It's official, Yami's story is superior. This man truly doesn't give a fuck. So he's the one who took his arm... I might've figured! If only the animation for this whole fight was as good as that one scene. I'm not used to Ray Romano with messy hair. "Were you watching?" "THE WHOLE TIME, SIR!" I like how talking is only a free action because he can block while talking. It's spelled qi and not ki, that means it's not a DBZ ripoff. To be strong, you have to have a very thick neck! REPLY TO ANGEL 3: "I enjoy you, ripoff Zoro." Same English VA, so I'm not surprised. "There's a saying where I'm from; whatever happens, happens." It's kinda hard to do it right when you don't know how to do it at all. That's Asta 1, Team Four Star 0. Welp, he's pissed. And just like a whip, you seem to be hitting the cave more than you are your actual targets. Unless making the rocks fall was your intention from the start. WE'RE NOT DONE YET! NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - "Oh no... they've been drugged!" Dammit Sasuke, you should know by now that she's after your dick. MURDER THE HYPOTENUSE IF YOU'RE SO LOYAL. Tch, nothing personnel, kid. KAKASHIBLOCKED. Sasuke's fallen so far, now he's the one tricking people into attacking logs instead of being the tricked. You jinxed it, Part 1 Kakashi. Yesssss finally we get to the infamous laugh. His edgy personality is unappealing as hell, but damn do I love his crazy eyes. Once your sensei, always your sensei. I like that his wall has dogs on it. "Whatever your sharingan can do, mine can do better!" Oh yeah, he hadn't seen his Mangekyo yet. WHOACONVULSION. That's a lotta edge. Don't diss the hair if you know what's good for you. It's official, this kid is certifiably insane. You dumbass, did you learn nothing from Itachi's ramblings? I don't understand why we're flashbacking to these scenes, specifically. You just asked him that literally a second ago, there's no reason for you to get all nasty with him like that. I feel like I'm the only one who misses Inner Sakura. I also miss when Sasuke was sane. [100 EPISODES LATER...] "Shut the hell up you fussbag." It was a happier time, full of ramen and smutty literature. Even today, sometimes I get distracted by all the modern-looking conveniences in the Naruto universe, like that random trash can over there. Sakura, you're too thirsty for your own good. NARUTOBLOCKED. The ending theme is by far the best part of this current stretch of episodes. Gee, Red Death, it's kinda hard for you hand Blue Morpho over to the Guild when Wide Wale somehow already got his hands on him.

Welp, posting in this thread was a mistake. That's the last time I try to act like I know what I'm talking about while misinterpreting what other people think, if doing so paints me to look like a complete asshole that gets triggered by even the slightest bit of negativity towards something he likes. In other words, sorry for offending you with my offense, I'll leave you all alone now.

Initial D: Fourth Stage 18

Nice to see Zeni's still shit.

Hey, don't go assuming I'm the kind of viewer who whole-heartedly believes [as] could do no wrong, just because I'm not as repulsed by their less savory business practices as you are. Believe me, I know some of the things [as] has done in the past have been pretty shitty. Hell, I'm even pissed at them myself for something they arguably did. A rumor I heard that they never wanted to pick up Venture Bros. and set them up for failure from the start with a Saturday premiere slot, and that they've only been renewing it up to this point because Jackson and Doc are the official script doctors for all their other shows and they don't want to risk alienating them from the company if they thought to shut it down. Now I doubt even half of that is true (the setting VB up for failure part), but even if it is, it doesn't bother me as much as their "disgusting" actions bother you, because Jackson and Doc got payback by making an honest-to-god great show that's better than most things on TV - yes, even factoring in the excruciatingly long periods between seasons - which I personally feel is enough to offset whatever shady intentions Lazzo had for them from the start. Still, false or not, pissed or not, I'm not going to deny the things they did and just pretend they're some perfect network. [as] has stuff I want to see - Toonami, Venture Bros., Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Off the Air once I catch up on it - so I'm not just going to quit watching them and rob myself of those things I honestly enjoy just because of some mistreatment that, while regrettable, doesn't nettle me enough to make me swear them off forever. So thanks. I've been looking for an excuse to block you, and your insulting attempt at putting me in my place gave me one.

Take that, Yonkou Productions and your claims of it coming in 2020!

DRAGONBALL SUPER - Last day for Super at the top of the block! Goku, proving the memes about him being a terrible parent right. That summit sounds like it'll be important later. I'm personally surprised at how long Chi-Chi managed to hold her anger in before letting it all spill out like that. (I think she even had her own aura there...) You can't not love the Great Saiyaman. Yeah, I mean, what seven-year old uses the word "goober"? Hey, remember when Super Saiyan mode used to be a plot twist? It may be ruined, but I think the manmade rockslide is kind of a good look for that cliff. I'm surprised he didn't just Instant Transmission his way out of the house. These guys look awfully familiar. Dang that's a lotta blood. Does that count towards the Krillin Pwned tally, because he doesn't seem too fazed by the pain. I dunno, I've heard that monsters are way too nice to possibly be human. Yessss the return of the Taco shirt. Given how much time she spends just childishly laughing, it's easy to forget that Marron can speak words. That's cold, 18. SYMBOLISM. Turns out Krillin is the true main character of this episode. We OG Dragonball now. All Might a cute. Hey, what kinda jam is that? Porn: the easiest bribe there is. Goku complaining about the heavy turtle outfit seems out of character, the guy trained in much worse conditions for gravity, for Kami's sake. "Even wearing that silly turtle costume, he seems as fast as ever!" Like I said, he trained in greater gravity. What a surprising bump in visual direction. No rest for the constantly pwned. How surprisingly wise of you, Roshi. Hey, you gotta remember that she used to be a villain once. I've never seen OG DB, but the return of training tasks in the form of errands is getting me kinda pumped. A rainbow plant hidden in the deepest depths of nature. Haven't I seen this Naruto filler before? Nothing is better than print media pornography! THE WIND IS VERY LOUD. SUDDENLY BABA. "Fortune Seller" should be a real profession. That's an interesting cave entrance formation. Random pink butterfly. I recognize all these villains! And among them, a literal Ghost Nappa! Of course Krillin would panic at the sight of his first murderer. I remember when Take Me On was the Franz Ferdinand song I wanted to listen to in full on my own time. But instead, NOW put Do You Want To on their roster out of all their songs. Long story short, it became my true favorite. MY HERO ACADEMIA - What better way to start a new season than the expository rundown from the beginning of the first? YESSSSS MOUNT LADY. See, you giving up on your goals is the main reason part of you is worse than Asta. Wait, was that a flash-forward to when he's an official hero? If so, then cool. Fuck I love this show's opening themes. You seem awfully nonchalant about this, anchor lady. Of all the fictional characters I'd like to hear read the phone book, All Might is now near the top of that list. It pleases me to know he has a real name. Sweet, red background this season, but boo, no episode numbers. ALSO YESSSSS DOMINATRIX HEROINE. That Shigaraki guy is all talk. There's something worrying about Principal Ratboy here. I like how he still watches that video. Quirk still too dangerous? I'll go weightlift some more. Hey, it's not their fault your hero costume is nudity. I dunno why, but Bakugo telling Mineta to shut up makes me a little happy. Tokoyami is offended by your use of the term "bird guy". Iida is the best. By the way, Aizawa's voice actor is different this season, but considering his replacement (Christopher Wehkamp) has also taken over for all the other roles of his original VA (Alex Organ), I doubt you'll spot any difference. SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS! The new season of Attack on Titan has... sexy results. And lots of violence, as usual. Heroic music... denied. "It'th jutht a sporth fethtival!" Just a sports festival? He does have a point, though, I'd rather not get murdered either. That's one way of making high school events seem like a reasonable be-all end-all. "Eternal Sidekick" sounds like a cool yet ironic name for a hero. Nobody cares, Aoyama. So is Plank just unable to talk or something? Truly Kaminari is the okay boy. Wait what why'd she tongueslap him. Hot-blooded Uraraka scares and confuses me, yet is also kinda fun to watch. MONEY MY DEAR BOI. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Oh, she's Nami." Same English VA, so I'm not surprised. I love Iida's gestures. She and her family are good people. What even is that applauding pose. BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Like I said earlier, All Might a cute. Huh, I almost didn't catch that subtitle. It's not nice to eavesdrop, Icy-Hot, even if it is by accident. An upright stalk, that's a good sign! Clearly No Might absorbed the shock of the power, preventing it from firing back at you and fucking up your bone density. Though I guess your theory works too. Sounds like you're expecting one hell of a debut. Neat, a girl power ending. POP TEAM EPIC - I agree with Popuko, fuck the haters. The Hellshake Yano story is the best thing to happen to the anime medium in its century of existence, and if you don't agree then you're a damn hater. SUBCULTURE BITCH ON BOARD. That English "But". Mmm... manatee burgers. Oh hey, Frenchie returns. EXTREME BIKE SITTING~. Popuko is by far the best friend Pipimi could have. Always look out for the wild grass is 8-bit games. It's official, Hollywood has gone too far with murdering the innocent in their movies. Little girls are for protecting, not murdering brutally for shock value! Now this is what I call wholesome entertainment. And then he was Hellshake Dandy. HELL SHAKE! HELL SHAKE! HELL SHAKE! Undertale references don't annoy me, not as much as why no one's thought to kill this fucking flower yet. It'd be easier for me to crush him underfoot than it would for him to kill my loved ones, assuming it knows where I even live. BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY. Show of hands, who would unironically watch Cooking with Crybaby Pope and Mr. Satan? What is this, Chiller Ani-Wednesdays, what happened to the subtitles? For those wondering, the sketch is about how France isn't as beautiful as one would initially think, a show of self-deprecating humor that was mistranslated as Frenchie here being masochistic. BLEEP COUNT: 4. Of course the girls who aren't the main one get the cool outfits. Wait didn't they air this promo last week what the actual hell FUNimation. Always take caution when YouTubing. It could save your life! JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - I watched this episode via Livestream when it aired in Japan originally; safe to say, that action (plus a marathon of Antfish's abridged series) sold me on the franchise. Too bad for you, you absorbed the bit of Joseph's blood that had the essence of his Tequila Joseph persona inside it, now you look like a butch lesbian with terrible taste in lipstick. It's kinda hard for Jonathan to roll around in his grave when you've taken his body for yourself. Oh shit his soul's leaving his body, that's not good. Thank you for the wise words, Ghost Joseph. I highly doubt this was as fun as the events of Battle Tendency. STOP IGNORING ME. "He's been sucked dry..." And yet you still look like a total dyke. FUCK YEAH FULL SOUND EFFECTS OPENING. GAH MY SEXY HAND. Talking is a free action, indeed. Now that's what I call demented. SHIT COUNT: 1. Neon vampire. Sounds like a good name for a band. ROAD ROLLER DA. And now allow me to ruin the moment. That's our story, Jotaro's dead, good night. Just kidding, he made it out in time. Madness? THIS. IS. JOJO! That's a pleasant metaphor. FUCK YOUR LEGS. "If this were the Wild West, the hero would say, "It's high noon", but that would be inaccurate, since it's midnight right now." Save the dominating for the dominatrices, DIO. POCKET BLOOD! JOTARO PUUUUNCH! "My only regret is that I never got to say WRYYYYYYYYY-!" And finally the queen bitch vampire is defeated. Took them only one hundred years to do it. Remind me never to piss off Jotaro. And in comes the Speedwagon Foundation to clean up the mess. That's a bold move, Jotaro. Nothing's impossible if you put your mind to it! This is easily Joseph's greatest troll yet. He even used Hermit Purple to fuck around with the lighting. Hey, I'm sure a lot of people in the '80s know who sang "Eat It". THUMBS UP. And now DIO is no more. Next stop, the Pillar Man hiding in the Speedwagon Foundation's basement. Rest in peace, guys. Oh Polnareff, you say France is your only home, but after traveling the world, Paris syndrome will set in before too long. GROUP HUG. FUN FACT: the song playing on Joseph's cassette player in the manga is "Get Back" by the Beatles. "I'm not sure how, but they did it!" Now's the time to take note of all the heartbreaking symbolism in the ending animation; specifically, the three tickets in Joseph's hand and the dead Crusaders on the other side of the river. Next stop, the Beautiful Duwang! [do you do you wanna wanna go]

You know, I should be turned off by all this unsavory stuff I'm learning about [as] behind the scenes... but I'm just not. Does that make me a bad person, or just way more patient than the rest of you losers? The only thing that's sickening is the fact that you seriously think their weird sense of humor isn't humor at all. And also the fact that you call it "sickening".
