Boys Over Flowers 14

Ten years have passed since DIO's defeat in Egypt. The world is at peace, and the survivors of the five-man (and one dog) band who sought out to take him down have moved on with their lives. In the case of Jotaro Kujo, the man responsible for defeating DIO, his ten years were spent pursuing a career in marine biology. But his day job is suddenly put on hold when he hears rumors of an arrow capable of granting regular humans the powers of STANDS surfacing in the sleepy Japanese town of Morioh. Upon arriving in the city to check the rumors out, he meets a young man with his own set of STAND powers, and not from the mysterious arrow. His name is Josuke Higashikata, and he is the protagonist of the next chapter in the JoJo franchise, both printed and animated: DIAMOND IS NOT CRASH UNBREAKABLE! In other Toonami news, the expanded block kicks off with the students of Class 1-A training for the UA Sports Festival, Krillin's training exercise with Goku turns extra dangerous when he's faced with his past murderers, Attack on Titan's third season also kicks off when a death too untimely convinces Levi that the government's out to keep their revelations about the Titans under wraps, get ready to be disappointed by the Progressive finale all over again, the jailed yakuza Pipi scouts a rowdy inmate named Popu for a job in her organization, Gon and the others begin the final prep for their assault on the King's palace, Yami and Asta's fight against Licht and Valtos continue (with a spike in animation quality to show they mean business), Naruto finally faces off with Sasuke for the first time in over 150 episodes, a mysterious cyborg appears in Z City to take care of a scarily large insect problem, Rebecca's attempts to decipher her ex-boyfriend's philosophical ramblings land her in MI6 custody, and Spike ditches his crew during a hacker hunt to get his ship some needed repairs. 10:00 - My Hero Academia #15 - Roaring Sports Festival - TV-14LV 10:30 - Dragonball Super #76 - Conquer the Terrifying Foes!

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.

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.
