"The Tailed Beast vs. The Tailless Tailed Beast" By which I assume that means Bee vs. Kisame, respectively.

Bullied off the site by the owner himself. What a way to go.

There's nothing wrong with speculation. It's just that we'd rather prefer the speculation be at least realistic. Because speculation is often applied to the future of reality, after all.

Not anime, Mochi.

Dorei-ku the Animation 11 One Outs 15

Blade 7

...Good god man, what is wrong with your brain.

Considering they forced us to change all our passwords shortly before maintenance started, I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

It was only expected.

Nope. Kekkaishi was VIZ, yes, but Deadman and Black Lagoon were both FUNimation, and two years apart at that.

From what I remember, the only 100% confirmed package deal was Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent. My guess is that [as] wanted Champloo but Geneon wanted them to air it alongside one of their other properties. They had a poll asking what shows users wanted on the block between Champloo, PA, and Gungrave. Champloo won the poll with Gungrave in second, but they aired PA instead, likely because TechTV nabbed the rights to Gungrave first. And while this one's unconfirmed, I whole-heartedly believe that Akame ga KILL! and Parasyte were in a package deal also. For obvious reasons.

Three words: King Star King.

Either way, the reactions to the show week by week would be more entertaining than the show itself. Kinda like here in this thread.

Blade 5-6

I'm rather fond of White Tiger No. 24 myself.

This was the song that sold me on the series 100%. Storywriter sold me on it 80%, for those curious.

Blade 4

Blade 1-3

Magical Girl Ore 12

Remember that time where that one dude that lowered his score for Akame ga KILL! the more he thought about it burned Elfie so bad he quit the ASMB until it shut down and everyone moved here? Good times.

Just put him on your ignore list and everything will be fiiiiiiiiiine.

DRAGON BALL SUPER - That slice down the middle is nothing short of perfect. Well thank kami Zamasu's finally dead. She's probably giving him the thumbs-up from Otherworld, assuming nothing bad happened to it during Zamasu's previous rampage. Oh what the fresh hell is all this now? When all else fails, rely on the Kamehame-ha. Okay, all of Zamasu's other bullshit, I can tolerate (even if I personally don't like it), but this is just too ridiculous, even for DBZ. Trunks' timeline just can't have anything good happen to it, now can it? This is such bullshit even characters in the other timeline can see that it is. Everything sure is flat down there. Whenever DBZ tries to make death a permanent consequence, it winds up being unbelievably depressing instead. Reason #1 I kinda dislike History of Trunks, even now. If only Krillin were here... And when even the Kamehame-ha fails, there's always the Muffin Button. "You rang?" The look on his face. This is indeed a disturbing universe. "Did you do this?" "Not this time, no." Well, everybody else is dead, so I can't say this solution is the wrong one. OW MY COCCYX. And finally the two Mais meet. Wow, it's nothing but primordial ooze now. I'll admit, bringing the one Zeno here as a friend for the other one was a smart move, Goku. I prefer this Zeni to our Zeni. I'm somewhat surprised yet not that El Grande Padre is Whis's old man. This arc's gone on long enough, but it's nice to see you thinking of his feelings on the matter. Beerus the hypocrite. How can you not get hooked on divine help when you're here every other week for food runs? I forget what the green time rings are supposed to mean. Those two make a great couple, I'm glad they both made it to this point. Can't go five minutes without trying to punch something, can you, Vegeta? Dammit Trunks now's not the time to be crying. Thanks for the confidence boost, Gohan. So where are the two of them going again? FUCK YEAH JAPANESE CHAOHAN MUSIC. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Damn, even the enka singers in this show have giant pets. That has to be the biggest and also the most subtle take that towards rappers I've ever seen. I was wondering where Kisame was this whole time. Literally the big man in charge. Damn, if he was alive to fight Madara, how old is this guy really? Before war can commence, first come the politics. Meanwhile, the shipping wars continue. I'm sure plenty of us are wishing that what she was saying was the truth right now. All these OG Naruto flashbacks are giving me nostalgia. These couple skips forward to early Shippuden... not so much. This is what Narusaku fans really believe, and I don't blame them. She sure knows how to play to the audience. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I still find it hard to believe [as] is seriously airing Pop Team Epic. I mean, I'm happy they are, but still... Holy shit it sounds like Sakura's voice actress aged five years over that past commercial break. Thanks a lot, Madara. In a way, I'm thankful for these flashbacks, sometimes it's easy to forget the context behind certain events. Sucks to be Kiba. Neat, he's leaving behind an ink clone. DORIFUTO. Dammit rock girl if you bothered to pop into the meeting room during the big post-war declaration meeting, you wouldn't be suggesting that crazy strategy. Bee's note-taking. NINJA PENCIL. I love these super slo-mo scenes. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. A sentient sword, now I've seen everything. RUN FOR YOUR FREEEEEEEDOM. I have a feeling I'm gonna like next episode, no matter how filler it probably is. SPACE DANDY - In lieu of any complaints, here's a listing of all the times Atmo and Sphere laugh throughout the episode, numbered for my convenience. Pine-Pine referring to alien hunters as "dogs and dorks". Scarlet asking if by three, she meant three men or three eyes. "Just left of camera, it would seem." Meow commenting on the familiar taste of the dream chicken wing that was actually his tail. "He was less thrashed when he was a zombie." Honey assumes Dr. Gel's ship is some kind of fancy retail joint. Scarlet and Pine-Pine walking down a crowded street in clothes too fancy for pedestrians. Dandy and Meow claim that they're women. Dandy accuses the effeminate bouncer of judging a book by its cover. Said bouncer lets them past without question. "Look who's finally back to normal." Scarlet immediately falls for Gentle. Gentle asks if they've met before. "Falling into your arms, I would remember." Scarlet suggests alternative adjectives she'd have assumed were Gentle's name. "Your cloud awaits you." Dandy and Meow decide to nap rather than chase after Gentle's cloud. "Well aren't you a smooth talker." Meow sarcastically calls the Cloudian a "monster" for mastering the love-em-and-leave-em routine. Meow comments that all it took was "a little T&A" to motivate Dandy. The narrator apologizes for intruding on the romantic moment Scarlet and Gentle were having. Meow powering the Aloha Oe's weather radar via an exercise machine. Dandy pulls his ray gun on Gentle. Gentle makes a metaphor about how difficult it is to "catch" him. Technically an "aww", but their response to Gentle saying all they do is chime in with laughter like this show's an American sitcom. Gentle gives Dandy permission to speak first after the two talk to Scarlet simultaneously. Honey hits on Dr. Gel. "I'm a lover, not a fighter, though I can hold my own." Scarlet blames whatever's rocking the ship on somebody male. Meow gets all blushy towards Dandy at the same time Scarlet does. The narrator decides to cut the exposition on Honey's backstory short (for now). Also, even if episode 23 fixed things more or less, that ending still burns my butter.

"Can we hurry this up? I'm running out of time cards."

DRAGON BALL SUPER - Damn you, Spectrum! First you take away my HDTV's right to On Demand, now you keep me from so much as recording this week's Super? I swear, you better get your shit together. Guess I'll be watching it later, then. DRAGON BALL Z KAI - Wait, so it's a ten-year timeskip now? Dang, why'd nobody tell me this? Is it stupid of me to say that for the first eight minutes of this episode, I thought aged-up present day Trunks was also Future Trunks? Dang, Chi-Chi actually aged decently here. Wait a hot minute, Charles Darwin exists in this universe? JUMP. Oh no, Satan's going bald. "Seriously, what am I gonna do with my dad?" Well you're certainly not going to put him in a home. On the one hand Teen Goten looks pretty cool, on the other holy shit Bulma's gone full Hilary Clinton. And she's apparently inherited her grouchiness too. Hey, it's not his fault Chi-Chi keeps him busy with farm work. The seasons may change, but Goku's desire to fight strong opponents never wanes. If he was an android, his energy wouldn't be detectable, now would it? Those kids sure grow up fast, don't they. WORST FIREWORKS EVER. I like this aged-up version of Ox King better than whatever Super did to him. Well at least Buu still looks youthful. Those two are like twins from separate sets of parents. The day Hollywood stops making movies centered around murdering the innocent will be the day humanity is saved. FUCK YOU HILARY-ERR, I MEAN BULMA. Oh yeah, I forgot they had another kid. Nice stache, announcer dude. Okay, so we've got a Hun, a chicken-themed superhero, a redheaded fuccboi, Freddie Mercury, a blonde fuccboi, and a random black kid. Hee, Buu has fangirls. That gay guy in the police cap seems especially friendly. Well at least 18 still looks attractive. Krillin's daughter has sclera, my worldview is shattered. PAN IS NO. 1. Vegeta seriously thought blondie was the strong guy. For those not knowing, his name is spelled "Uub". Draw whatever conclusions from that you will. Thanks for explaining my joke, Goku. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE: "Otokosuki" means "I love boys". NO TOUCHY. Five words in and I already hate redheaded fuccboi. Thank you Vegeta. Dang, Joe Pera's having its finale already? These shows move by so fast. MY HERO ACADEMIA - According to Reddit, Izuku beat Bakugo's throw distance by a tenth of a meter. Good for him. I love seeing Bakugo get triggered by Izuku being successful for once. Thank you, Eraserhead. Yesssss stay mad Bakugo, it'll only make Deku stronger at this rate. I personally feel like Deku getting last place is even more painfully predictable than half the shit in Black Clover. You're a good man after all, Eraserhead, if not a little jerkish. He became a sakuga effect. Bakugo's just pissed that he didn't place first. That must've been one terrible class if every single one got expelled. Yes, in his own strange way, he kind of is. Bakugo a shit, Iida the better BFF. The two-bastard rule in full effect today. Hey, when you're in love with somebody, logic need not apply to most things. Fuck you, middle school classmates. Sentence 3 has the mistake; should be "will", not "well". FUCK YEAH WHITE RICE. All Might is the greatest. Time to SUIT UP. This background song sounds like it'll be a memorable one. Wait, I don't see Deku in that crowd. THIS SUMMER IS GOING TO BE POPUTEPIPIKKU. (Also, that fucking Baskin Robbins commercial was way weirder than the PTE promo.) Yeah, I can say that grenade-shaped gauntlets certainly are intimidating. I love that sound effect that accompanies the X symbol. Like I said, she admitted that even she was wrong. Well... it sure is a starter costume, that's for sure. At least Uraraka likes it, and that's the important thing. SKINTIGHT BODYSUITS FTW. I'm glad to see the grape-haired midget agrees with me there. All Might really does make the appeal of heroics sound so cool. :3 Heroes vs. Villains episodes > Boys vs. Girls episodes. Too many questions. OH NO ANYTHING BUT NUKES. I love these 8-bit sequences. FUCK YEAH TEAM DEKU/URARAKA. I blame Buu's magic for this "luck of the draw", so they say. Bakugo's ego practically makes him a villain in the making already, so that should be no problem. It's like some weird sort of obsession. You're damn right it's a fated battle between rivals. If you do wind up killing someone, hopefully it's Bakugo. SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. BODYSLAM! Methinks you're taking this a bit too seriously, Bakugo. FLCL PROGRESSIVE - THIS WEEK IN HIDOMI'S WET NIGHTMARES: the scourge of industrialism? That's one way to make an entrance. I love her when she's super-expressive like that. YATTA~! Self-groping for non-masturbatory purposes is an underrated fetish. SUDDENLY CHIBI JINYU. Oh god there's several of them. And then human fishing? Aw great, now she's a yukkuri. Part of me thinks this beach of discarded Medical Mechanica irons is neat, and part of me thinks it's a little on-the-nose. How is it that after eighteen years, nobody ever thought to put Haruko in a swimsuit before now? Wait a hot minute, unisex skirt boy has a girlfriend!? Naturally, Jinyu would be against the idea of Hidomi so much as lotioning up Haruko's backside. Oh no his girlfriend's a stereotypical moe-moe girl. I can't help but feel this is some sort of subtle commentary on the appeal of this type of character. THERAPY PLANTS. Sploosh. And now she's Shiny Golden Haruko. You know Haruko won't stop hunting Atomsk until she has him for keeps. VOLLEYBALLLLLLLL. I understood that reference (and enjoyed the gratuitous Japanese). BOMBARDMENT! Ah, so we're doing the NM ending again, neato. Twenty bucks says she's talking about Atomsk. Don't play coy, you know you want Ide's dick. Okay, this is either Kono Yo No Hate Made or Tenshi Mitai Ni, Kimi Wa Tatteta. I'm leaning towards the latter here. FUCK YEAH CEMENT MIXING. What is it with Haruko and peeing this season? I don't trust that moe-moe girl. That girl has what it takes to be a WMLB pro, a real phenomenon. Beats me where Hidomi is, but I'm guessing something's keeping Haruko in the bathroom longer than necessary. SUSPICION LEVELS RISING... Heh, so she was an escort all along, and he was in on it this whole time. You're Japanese, you should know how much they like those types. Marco saw everything, now he has prime blackmail material. Oh hey, another Pillows song I recognize but forget the name of right now. (Ah, there it is.) I am loving this metaphorical rambling. Ride on, shooting star. Sweet, now we get to see what the inside of a Medical Mechanica plant looks like, after centuries of decay. Oh hey, there they are, right behind those doors. And then Ide got a preview of forbidden lesbian love. It ain't real laughing if it's forced as all fuck. That's a cute swimsuit. I like the nurse outfit, but the gag leaves much to be desired. Well, Ide's the more conventional FLCL-looking character, of course it's coming out of his head. GO, KUCHIKOPI MAJOR! These two really need real hobbies. Didn't expect escort girl to be buddies with Amarao Jr. And the flowerpot was apparently a secret plot device? Now this kid's got what it takes to be a pro, a real phenomenon. These action scenes also leave much to be desired. AB KISS. "...Did I do that?" FLOWERPOTTED. Hee, she's still trapped in that concrete cocoon. It's FLCL, when isn't it not normal. Wow, they really love reusing songs in this show. SWING THAT BAT, IDE! Well, at least she's physically unharmed. SHIT COUNT: 1. Not enough N.O. it seems. TSUN-DUN-DERE. Nope, Hidomi's clearly a kuudere. Holy crap, Ide's got more backbone at this point than even Naota did! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRAZY AND I LIKE IT. Well shit, now they're fused on. And then it all came crashing down. FUCK YEAH FOOL ON THE PLANET. So apparently there's no way to bring her back at this moment. Poor dudes have no idea what type of series they've gotten themselves into. The reluctant truce is over, now begins the age of the voluntary truce. Nothing good ever comes from those guys. Besides, Canti, that is. Next week, Hidomi gets 100% more expressive and Ide's head reaches singularity. PILLOWS MUSIC - "Noboranai Taiyou", "Thank You My Twilight" (again), "Tenshi Mitai ni, Kimi wa Tatteta", "Shiroi Natsu to Midori no Jitensha, Akai Kami to Kuroi Guitar", "Freebee Honey", "Fool on the Planet". JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE SC - That would explain the weird facial decorations. Familial revenge is overrated. REEEEEEEEE. Now to send him to... the Shadow Realm. Quick, pull him out before he starts bleeding from every orifice and thensome! Why not just burn it down from the beginning? Looks like FLCL isn't the only show this week with a beach episode. And this one's vaporwave flavored, too! That door is merely aesthetic. Aw fuck, he's a creepy doll guy. I bet he hotglues them, the fiend. And they're sentient too, that makes everything even worse! Those were poker chips, not coins, get it right, young'n! These movements are so straight out of the uncanny valley, it's actually creeping me, the kigurumi fetishist, out. I bet that right there's the reason Daniel was the only D'Arby to get a role in the original OVA. No one expects the phantom hand! You can't have vaporwave without video games. It's been a while since we've seen Kakyoin fight somebody, can't wait to see how this goes down. GOOOOOOD. That's some scary preparations. Fuck yeah, I love driving games. LITERAL BUTTON-MASHING. He's doing a Rocket Spin maneuver! AND NOW HE'S CURB DRIVING LIKE THE EIGHT-SIX! Burn in hell, Pet Shop. "I could taste Bael in the back of my throat." DIO can make a woman orgasm with his voice alone. Here I am, watching two grown men play a video game against one another with the utmost excitement. Where did my life go so wrong? REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Joseph learned his fight commentary from Speedwagon." That, I can whole-heartedly believe. Mood lighting and 3D effects are the secret to great racing media. Really, 'cause it looked like he was in the lead there at the end. Whoops, my mistake. HUNTER x HUNTER - I'd fuck that bat girl if I wasn't already so dedicated to Shizuku. That's a cute pose. Clearly the solution is to power through the owl's attacks, considering they aren't appearing to do much damage. H-HAYAI! Apparently it's echolocation night on Toonami. JAJANKEN TIME. No one expects a surprise divebomb! Except for Gon, apparently. ASTA SECRET TECHNIQUE: SONIC SCREAM! Rock tears through paper, bitch! Birds were never meant to take the form of great apes. "That stupid kid is incredibly loud!" Maybe, but you haven't heard loud until you've met Asta. I wasn't expecting this fight to last this long either. But hey, whatever gives me more of the bat girl. BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT OF THE WALL. And then the owl became an unfortunate projectile. GO BACK TO CAMBODIA. Meanwhile, Killua's causing a mass civilian uprising in the isolated border villages. Pouf is such a shoujo protagonist. And of course, Youpi just sits there and does nothing. You can never trust those big cat types. Kill without hesitation, don't get killed or captured. Even without the needle in his head, Killua knows to stay away from that aura. Wow, that many ants outside their borders, huh. Pack your rifles, 'cause we're goin' cheetah hunting! Wait, who's Lackay? I bet you anything the temp's name is Ryan, a.k.a. The Little Man. Wait a second, the Hunterverse knows English text? Oh boy, internal politics. "Great Leader", they aren't even hiding that this is Nork Country. FUCK YEAH MARTIAL LAW. Oh hey, Killua made it to the urbs. HYOURI ITTAI! World domination will never happen, not until you earn Putin's undying respect. BLACK CLOVER - Never underestimate an angry kid with anti-magic swords and screams that can turn a sane man deaf. The bird's giving that girl the "there, there" pat. At this point, Rades is just rooting for Asta to do more crazy shit. These two idiots make a pretty good fighting team. It becomes more apparent with every episode that defense is Noelle's true forte. Well, you know what they say in Pokemon: grass types beat water types. Did that crack in the ground seriously belch? TORNADO TENTACLE NO JUTSU. Oh hey, they all came back. But how? ...Okay, even I'm gonna admit that resolution was kinda dumb. Fuck you too, Noelle's siblings. I like that Klaus went to check on Asta first. That syringe is full of magical steroids. And then it became a rescue arc, just like that. I feel like I could've done without seeing that Hotel Transylvania ad. They must've had a lot of leftover time, if they're recapping the end of act 1 this much. Well yeah, it's kinda hard to heal someone's missing arm. Shut up, Solid and Nebra, those attitudes are part of the reason nobody likes either of you. As for you, Nozel, at least you're acting like less of a dick than usual. Shut up about your dessert, fat man. MEANWHILE, AT THE LEGION OF DOOM. I agree with the creepy glasses chick, don't kill Asta, at least not for the reasons you want him dead. I love this crazy glasses chick. Ah, so that's where the Wizard King ran off to. Damn that guy's cool, I can see why Asta and Yuno want his position so bad, outside of abolishing the class system and allowing nuns to marry mortals. "Don't look weak like that Midoriya kid!" Are those the Chaos Emeralds? Now that's what I call eye-rapingly bright light. Super, Naruto and Dandy on Monday. Tuesday if I'm as lazy as I normally am.

The objective best part of the whole show was the flying car, or at least that's what I'm told.
