I understand not watching anime until the actual list is back up if you refuse to go with a second option... but not using the site and watching anything new just because the infamously terrible forums won't be up for you to discuss them? That's kinda ridiculous, don'tcha think?

Inuyashiki, for sure.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE JOJO PART 4 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-07-06/viz-media-licenses-jojo-bizarre-adventure-diamond-is-unbreakable-manga-and-live-action-film-golden-wind-anime/.133901

All we can hope for is that it turns out better than G-Saviour did.

Kuroko's Basketball 48

I'm only using the forums for updating my Anime Watching Challenge submission form, so as long as they get back up by Christmas Eve this year, I've got nothing to worry about on that front.

No, but when I clicked the link the site wasn't formatted any. All white background and TImes New Roman font on this end.

My Girlfriend is Shobitch 3 Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa 1

Bebop - the rerun before last Trigun - watching it on DVDs with my uncle in 2015 FLCL- the rerun before Progressive Evangelion - 2.22 movie night Wolf's Rain - middle school Inuyasha - Final Act's Toonami run GITS - the 2nd Gig rerun this year FMA - if we're talking 2003, then middle school; if Brotherhood, then one of its Toonami reruns when I was exiting high school

Black Jack TV 9 Boys Over Flowers 11

Koi Kaze 3 Freezing 10

Initial D: Fourth Stage 10

Pop Team Epic (I am not upset, even if you all are.) FLCL Progressive (So does the extraction of one's N.O. actively harm them, or does it just cause massive migraines?) Space Dandy (On the merits of its beauty alone.) My Hero Academia (Getting the job done fast enough to let All Might de-transform faster.) Black Clover (I said it before, and I'll say it again: it sucks to be Finral.) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (Also sucks to be Avdol, apparently.) Hunter x Hunter 2011 (Ditto for Killua.) Dragonball Super (And Vegeta.) Naruto Shippuden (And Naruto's gay boner for Sasuke.)

After some thought, I personally feel that the DB Super episode is responsible for the low retention. Who's to say earliest portion making up the average 600k viewership wasn't the result of people not wanting to watch MHA, but people being turned off by the Super episode beforehand? (I feel this would make more sense coming out of someone else's mouth.)

As for the retention from Super to MHA, scorn it all you want!

Well, at least the retention from PTE into JoJo is worth speaking positive about, as hollow as those sentiments may be in the long run.

Regular comments. DRAGONBALL SUPER - The temporary crossover into "early '80s gag manga" territory was weird, but also fun. I unironically loved the "Home for Infinite Losers" joke the dub threw in; it's my personal belief that's what they call Hell in the Dr. Slump half of the DBZ-verse. Also, a hypothetical question: is Arale strong enough to take out the 17 and 18 from Trunks' timeline, or would her being a gag character and them being super duper serial just cancel each other out and leave Trunks just as depressed there as he is in the scenario that actually happened? MY HERO ACADEMIA - I still don't like Bakugo as a person much, but at least I'm no longer experiencing any murderous rage towards the kid. Momo's explanation as to why Iida was the truest to the situation was fun, especially when even All Might was taken aback by her in-depth analysis. I think I'm gonna enjoy watching all these different kids in action, and that's not just because most of them have warmed up to Izuku now. And for the first batch of real villains, we have Handy-man, Bartender Demongo, and some creepy giant bird dude with an exposed brain. Of all their deals, I want to know Bird-Brain's the most. FLCL PROGRESSIVE - I had a feeling this would be the sakuga episode and I was not disappointed. The stand-out different art style, the oil panting cold open, Hidomi's web manga flashback, all of it was great. I'm still a little confused about what happened to Ide, exactly. Was his regular appearance being peeled off of him indicative of his self being sucked away, or was it all just some stylistic part of the transformation process into a nondescript balloon man? Knowing FLCL, the answer will probably come to me after several different postulates on the situation, and those will come my way after everyone stops bitching about the show's negative points. (And even then, none will answer the real question: did Hidomi's mom set up the cafe just to lure her father who may or may not be Naota back, considering she shut it down in accordance with her giving up on hoping for his return?) Oh, and Canti Dog is great. Pillows Music: "Fool on the Planet", "I Think I Can", "Last Dinosaur". POP TEAM EPIC - I don't know about the rest of you, but I love it. I can't wait to see all your reactions to the remaining eleven, even if the more negative ones will hurt a little inside. PTE VOICE ACTORS OF THE WEEK (and the Toonami/[as] characters they previously/currently voice/d): PART A POPUKO: Christopher R. Sabat (Kazuma Kuwabara, Keith Bean, Alex Louis Armstrong, Mr. K, Yonro, Tres Iques, Kikuchiyo, Roronoa Zoro, Kitz Weilmann, Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamcha, Shenron, Kami, Korin, Kyoma Mabuchi, Yamori, Yami Sukehiro, All Might) PART B POPUKO: Justin Briner (Luck Voltia, Izuku Midoriya) PART A PIPIMI: Ian Sinclair (Akoz, Brook, Dandy, Nile Dok, Daniela Carneros Jr., Prince Salva Enna Tibesti, Whis, Kazuichi Banjou, Magna Swing, Mezo Shoji) PART B PIPIMI: Colleen Clinkenbeard (Rachel Moore, Riza Hawkeye, Rose Thomas, Hima Nohara, Maso, Esther Blanchette, Chief Makina, Kirara Mikumari, Marie Mjolnir, Monkey D. Luffy, Scarlet, Son Gohan, Android 18, Mai, Ryoko Fueguchi, Charlotte Roselei, Momo Yaoyorozu) JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - I was wondering what the purpose of the YES YES YES and NO NO NO screens were, and it was glorious. Avdol's death may have sucked, yes, but at least Polnareff can't be blamed for this one like he was last time. HUNTER x HUNTER - Ikalgo was surprisingly cool, and the Ortho Siblings, while less likeable, were fun regardless. FUN FACT: LittleKuriboh voiced the brother. And if Gon letting his arm get exploded by Genthru wasn't proof that he's more than a little screwy in the head, those dead eyes when he told Meleoron he'd have killed him without mercy were he lying is plenty enough. BLACK CLOVER - I don't know what makes me like this show more than the rest of you, but it definitely did its work this week. Based on her red hair and the fact that she can actually stand Asta, I'm gonna start referring to Rebecca as the "Anti-Angel". Suggestions for a better nickname are welcome. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Is it wrong that I care more about Sasuke vs. Danzo than I am about Naruto realizing the former's gonna die no matter what he tries to do? SPACE DANDY - The only negative to this episode is the presence of discussions on existentialism that tend to follow afterwards.

One Outs 16

Kuroko's Basketball 47

Obviously a fanmade bump. They never capitalize or punctuate in the end messages, and even ignoring that, the font's too big for the HD era.

Is it wrong that I thought "adult push pops" meant they were shaped like certain body parts?

If that's the case, then you should be glad we're getting next episode previews for said opening parody every week.

My Girlfriend is Shobitch 2

Well, Shobitch is apparently about high school girls who are way oversexed, even for standard LN fare, so you're probably right about the heterosexuality thing. Joker Game 11
