He was referencing a YES album.

Koi Kaze 2

Does Mike Lazzo do social media, because I'd even accept reassurance from him in this time of need for answers.

Magical Girl Ore 10

I find it pathetic, yes.

Zenigundam, you so fucking stupid.

Boys Over Flowers 9

Freezing 9 Koi Kaze 1 (rewatch)

Initial D: Fourth Stage 9

Is it wrong to say that I almost panicked there?

Kuroko's Basketball 44

He probably paid a mod to suspend it temporarily to get people talking.

[still the only one in the "02 is Lala Deviluke" party] The pink hair, man, the pink hair.

I did, the moment Ide said it was a word game. I watched this on the DVR, so I rewatched that whole scene and I'll admit, that was pretty clever.

Naruto, Luffy, and Goku triple-teaming Frieza in a city block? With Light and Ryuk implied to be the ones behind it all? I'd play that game, or at least watch a Let's Play of it.

DRAGON BALL SUPER - I spoil myself on a lot of things, but the father-son Galick Gun surprisingly wasn't one of them. You gotta swing the bat, Mai. Hey look, Vegeta's partially exposed chest! Dude your face ain't lookin' so good. That Zamasu is fucked up, and not just mentally. Aw crap, now he's got a Bulk arm. Oh wait she's holding a sword, I could've sworn it was a random bat. OH YEAH VEGITO'S BACK. I love his maroon hair. And now it's blue, thanks a lot me. "Nothing amazing ever happens here... in Hope County, Montana." Shut the fuck up, Zamasu. Thanks, Vegito. NAOTOSHI SHIDA SAKUGA SPOTTED. Well, at least Vegito's reactions to Zamasu's never-ending bullshit are entertaining. Gowasu asks and answers the real questions. Oh hey, the time machine can be used as an actual vehicle. A Final Flash/Kamehame-ha combo. Wasn't expecting that. BE PERFECT IN HFIL. "FUCKING TRUUUUUUUUNKS!" I swear, the more he talks the more unhinged he gets. FUCK YEAH TEAMWORK. Is this something like a hands-free Spirit Bomb-style upgrade? Apparently it is! It's okay to believe in yourself, but only if you also believe in others. Great job Trunks, you finally gave that fucker Zamasu what he deserves. DRAGON BALL Z KAI - Last time, something that we didn't actually see happen! That girl has no nose and that disturbs me. WE GOT 31 FRUITY FAVORS. I'm surprised Mr. Satan hasn't given him an allowance yet. Fuck yeah, street fighting! "Dayum, that was fast." Thank you, random black stranger. Now Buu has all of the ice cream! Why return the change when it's the best business you've had in months? In other news, Bulma still needs the opposite of a haircut. And now they've gone from exhibition matches to robbery, what a sharp decline downwards. FUCK YEAH GREAT SAIYAMAN. And he's no longer wearing that stupid helmet! Though that look does work for Videl-err, I mean, Great Saiyawoman. I've always been a fan of the heart motif, even if it's just one of them. Clearly you need to go sleeveless with your qipaos. Those suspenders look stupid on Goten. I think Chi-Chi looks perfectly fine as she is, we know how terrible make-up looks on her. Wait, by "Dad", does she mean Goku or Ox King? SCREEEEEEEEEE. That hat also looks stupid on Goten. And that's how she strongarmed him into farming leafy greens. SNAAAAAAAAAAKE! Sweet car, Yamcha. Of course they jump to the conclusion that Goku has a secret other family. Now this is a celebratory after-party. Ah, Yamcha and Roshi must be reminiscing over the events of Dragon Ball Classic. Vegeta, you're such a loner. Hell, even Piccolo's more social than him, and being a loner was his thing for much longer than it was Vegeta's. Hey, speaking of OG Dragon Ball... DINOSAUR FIGHT! I feel this tag movie would be worth watching just for Hannibal alone. It's probably just the lighting, but Chi-Chi's kung-fu dance sequence is sooooo '80s. MY BACK! I didn't even notice Mr. Satan's dad sweater. Well she did hang around Goku a lot when they were kids. Well, Chi-Chi does look better than Bulma today specifically. Cool, more animal spectators. The live birthing has been canceled due to heavy weather. Lightning strikes are point of proof #1 that you can't prevent every forest fire. Okay, but what about the egg that's cliffside? And then it was an unhatched baby Moses. FIIIIIIISH! And in the end, he made it... five minutes after the party ended. So many animals. Clearly the dinosaurs, Goku wasn't even around for when Goten, or even Gohan was born. Even at his most dangerous, Goku is charming as heck. The water comes from the sink in front of you, you stupid kid. MY HERO ACADEMIA - Of course Bakugo got #1 with zero rescue points. Truly he is Deku's antithesis. That poor unlucky background couple. "I can't control it. What do I do?" 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km of running every single day. All Might is the greatest mentor. That couple now knows All Might's secret, and no one will ever believe them. Even Izuku's mother admitted that she was wrong. That's a huge-ass door. OH GOD THOSE TEETH. It's somewhat concerting to know that Deku isn't the only one Bakugo's a complete asshole to, but that won't make me magically like him. This Iida kid's actually pretty cool. "Kacchan... go fuck yourself." And so begins the passive-aggressive hatred marathon. Oh hey, that dude's slinking around in one of those puffy Japanese sleeping bags. And he's their teacher, just as the next episode promo predicted. Okay I'm actually kind of invested in this whole preliminary testing portion. You drive an extremely hard bargain there, tired teacher dude. Never pause in the middle of your sentence while playing fetch. Not everyone can be Bill Shatman. Damn right the world's unfair, why else do you think Saitama has more haters than he does fans? Bakugo's probably the only one who wants someone to fail, that'd be so like him. Sucks to be you, belly laser guy. Of course it's Deku vs. Bakugo. Hey, at least Deku got better than 8 seconds. It's a realistic metaphor, the best kind. So it's all incidental showoffiness. "She blasted it off to infinity!" "Or even further..." FUCK YOU BAKUGO YOU PIECE OF SHIT! And fuck you too tired teacher guy, you're now my second least favorite character thanks to your "Deku doesn't deserve to be in UA" remark. Huh, surprisingly good intentions much? PUNCH HIM IN THE NU-holy shit this show is making me a little too angry and vengeful for my own good. I love gratuitous Frenchie not being as cool as he thinks he is. FUCK YOU ERASERHEAD. What's one broken finger if it's all it takes to get gud? "Mr. Aizawa... go fuck yourself." Deku is the coolest beta ever. FLCL PROGRESSIVE - This is one choppily animated zombie flick. OH SHIT THOSE EYES. Whoever's narrating this, I question their taste in fetishes. What the fuck, so Hidomi is there too, I guess. Does that mean those two other zombies are Ide's genderfluid friends? And there's zombie Ide. Hidomi girl, you have some very fucked up dreams. Hidomi's mom and Maid!Jinyu are equally a cute. :3 "BEWARE THE VESPA WO-HEY!" I know what Pillows song is showin' up this episode. GAH! Three cheers for Haruko! Religion's really changed since the days of the Renaissance. Just lemme slide on outta here. Nice to see that Haruko's still beaning run-ins as pitcher. Wow, exactly how much time has passed since episode 1 again? I assume those grayscale images on the side are the two fatalities of that huge-ass bonfire. CEILING HARUKO IS WATCHING YOU NOT MASTURBATE. She's riding her Vespa in the hall, good times. And she's even got cute nicknames for the main characters. I FUCKING RECOGNIZE THAT WALKWAY, THAT'S THE ONE FROM CLASSIC EPISODE 2! And apparently, Naota's school is now an unpopular amusement park. So apparently Clamshell-Bot is now a school crossing guard, like Canti before it. Welcome to the factory district, beware of any back-alley doctors and their wives' incomprehensible croquettes. EYEPATCH DUDE! Whatever does he mean by "phenomenon"? Oh hey, it's the genderfluid friends again. Well no shit he's Latin, his name is Marco. A pro megaloboxer. Holy crap, this is where Ide lives? Ah, so he works at the local junkyard. As slave labor, and not the sexy kind. Marrrrrrvelous. Whoa, did mustache dude just call him dickless? I take it his poorness is the reason why he comes to a "casual Friday every day" school wearing a generic schoolboy uniform. He also works as a salesman, and the kind that speaks outside of lip flaps at that. YAMERO~. NO SUBTITLES ON TOONAMI OUTSIDE OF APRIL FOOLS, THEY SAID. SHIT COUNT: 3, BLEEP COUNT: 1. Man, the non-English speaking Japanese are total dicks. Uh-oh, looks like Hidomi's overflowing again. Aww, for a second there I thought she was about to absolutely murder those guys. "Why does he always get all the girls?" Because no one wants a fat crossdresser, that's why. People complain about the skirt scene being used for a bumper, but knowing how trollish Demarco is, I absolutely love it and the reactions it's producing. Is that his mother, or just a horny neighbor who thinks she's in a MILF doujin? FUN FACT: Tatsuo Miyajima is an actual artist who specializes in the theme of space. Wait a second. That's not Hidomi's voice... CUT, CUT, CUT! She's even got a penciled-on director's stache. What's going on behind that door is "mental molesturbation", my favorite made-up phrase second only to "junioritis". CRASSSSH. Sweet, I didn't know Jinyu's car could float! And she knows her real name, or at least what Amarao claims her real name is. YOU ALL JUST LOST THE GAME. Oh, it's just shiritori. Oh, it's not floating, it's just robot mode. Suddenly, dog collar! Now it's time for that poorly animated fight scene that lowered everybody's expectations. Now the robot's drinking with eyepatch man. Toldja that song would play this episode. :3 This must be the first time we've actually seen an N.O. portal pull something away from point A and not just expelling it at point B. FLCL just loves its baseball references. WE SENTIENT FLYING CAR NOW. Theeeeere's the bigger budget slice. HYYYYYYPE. I don't think anybody calls you that, but whatever, more power to you. All Haruko did was ask Hidomi to deliver Ide his homework, I don't think she's that involved with her. Yet. Hidomi's the only one who cares about anyone's safety in this show bound to toon physics. MAGIC HEADPHONES, MAKE MY KLAXOSAUR HORN GROW! Jinyu's dropping all this serious-minded technobabble and Haruko doesn't understand a word of it. I love their dynamic. Hidomi was so concerned about defeating the robots, that she failed to realize that she is the robots. SOOOOO CLOSE. And she's back to normal like that because to hell with your slow pacing. I feel like I should recognize this song, but it isn't coming to mind right now. That Cadillac car-bot does everything, now does it? Never mind, I don't recognize this song. Finally, she smiles. Only two key animators? And here I thought ANN was being lazy... Well that explains people's complaints about lazy animation, they freakin' outsourced the whole episode! Next time, every anime's gotta have a beach episode! PILLOWS MUSIC: "Freebee Honey", "Noboranai Taiyou" JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - Oh thank god, we're skipping the whole eye-eating scene in the recap. I'd shoot that bird and eat it for dinner. Crazy bastard let his own paw get cut off. A daring maneuver. Nope, he just got murdered before he could get back to you. And that's why Avdol's the smart one. You gotta love underwater breathing tubes. BECAUSE PET SHOP DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK. Mental note: never strangle a bird if you want it to die. Thank god for his STAND's self-defense, am I right? FUCK YOUR WING, BIRD. You only solution now is to start digging your way out. "This stupid day has gone from bad to horrifying in the worst possible way!" That's JoJo for ya. Dig, Iggy, dig! Well someone's been playing Dig Dug down there. FUCK YOUR BEAK, BIRD. I'd tell you to paddle your way there, but y'know, bleeding out and all. We Iggy backstory now? It all began back when this show first premiered... Hey, remember when Iggy looked like an actual dog? You're a real Samaritan, small child. Jotaro's Star Platinum senses are tingling... That's a shame, so he can't hear Iggy's inner voice. Well I'll be damned, I joke about Kakyoin being gone once and he suddenly reappears. Even Jotaro joined in on the in-unison greeting. He's leading you to DIO's mansion. Well, now you know what happened to the beggar. Oh no why are they blue. That is one evil house. Yes, it certainly was a bizarre adventure that led them there. And here's a consolation image of Jonathan for those of you who still miss him. KAKYOIN THE MILF-HUNTER. Even the narrator's getting into it. SHIT COUNT: 2. Alright, let's walk and strategize. Who's this weirdo? Whoever he is, he's got some strange theme music. I think these Airheads and Snapple commercials just lowered my IQ more than a month off of school already has. HUNTER x HUNTER - At the very least, Zazan paid dearly for her shot at fame. "Hey, let's follow the Phantom Troupe's example and clean house of these vile creatures." I bet you regret murdering that reporter lady now, don'tcha lion man? And so the plotting begins. Thank god they were at a distance, otherwise I'd be on a watchlist. Yep, definitely sounds like North Korea. Gon, like I, can't be doin' with all this nuclear talk. Which older brother, the fat one or the skinny one? Down to the leader's portrait on the wall. How d you hide bulletholes but not mop up the blood stains? So the "selection's" just an excuse to wipe everybody out? Great, now I'm the one blowing a fuse. You say "manipulation", but isn't Pitou supposed to be a specialist? RIOT, RIOT! "I get it." "No you don't understand!" Getting pretty intense there, Killua. Edge my foot, your outburst is clearly the result of you pulling that mind control needle out of your head. Welp, we know who the Invisible Man's going after next. Meanwhile, creepy opera music. Do the job clean; don't let your emotions get in the way. Yep, Knuckle is definitely Morel's student. He killed millions to save billions. I want to eat one of those fruits. SNAAAAAAAAAKE! And he's part djinn too. BOINNNNNNNNNNNNNGG. SUCK IT SNAKE MAN. Oh hey, bat girl's actually pretty cute. FUN FACT: This was the last episode to have aired in HxH's original morning slot in Japan. From this week on, it's all late-night material. BLACK CLOVER - How did I not realize before now that all nobles wear capes? From what I've read online, Charmy is supposed to be based off of the original manga author's wife. Does that mean Mr. Meme Chef over there is the official author surrogate? All right, Kool-Aid's here! That's some serious forehead grease she's sporting. Don't get between a loli and her triple-decker fried rice cake. Oh shit she aged up, that means it's 'bout to get real up in here. Sheep boxing, I freakin' love it. Meme Chef and his special salt are the stealth MVPs of this arc. That's what happens when you prey on those less than a third your actual age. Meanwhile, the greatest love story ever known is playing out without the protagonists' knowledge. NOOOOOO NOT THE FRIED RICE. Thanks Yuno, apologies again for thinking you were a dick early on. (But seriously, you should've let Asta pitch in and chop that wood.) Never mind, this is the greatest love story ever known. I'm just laughing at that subtitle just dropping in from above. In bed with her two most favorite things in that moment. Charmy's the true winner here. Tinkerbell doesn't get it, not one bit. Meanwhile, the Non-Wizard King's enjoying his two most favorite things of the moment in bed. Weird, I remember "Him" being more red and flamboyant. Meanwhile, back to the actual plot. "They're hiding nearby." Either that or they're just that good. Asta: proving that you don't have to know or care that you can't marry nuns to be smart every once in a while since 2015. Nice of you to join us, Abridged Cooler. Oh no, he's leaking motor oil! Asta's only screaming because everyone else is too. Have you ever heard of "power creep", Asta? Oh, he did the broom-standing thing like Yuno did too. Welp, that doesn't look too good. This is different, the Sakura analogue is actually more useful than one of the male supporting characters. Every time Rades speaks, I keep expecting him to slip into a Chicago accent. Oh wow he's actually following that advice, good on you Asta. For as better as My Hero may objectively be, I really enjoy this show more than anyone believes or tells me I should. Asta punching and headbutting people is something he should do more often. You say to be calm, but you look more unhinged than Asta does, to tell the truth. Oh hey, another voice. Ooh, is that a chick with glasses and short black hair I see? She seems pretty into dissecting people. Fixing yourself with self-harm. "Who would do that!?" Who else but Asta? Interesting, they forgot to translate "STUDIO MASSKET" in the credits there. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Of course Ino would be crying over Sasuke being marked for death. Hey, if Madara hadn't shown up when he did, your inn wouldn't have been wrecked to all hell, now would it? Raikage's priorities are in the right place, too bad Madara's just the kind of person you can phase through. Thank god someone's glad they got rid of Karin. Welcome to the Black Room. "Tsuki no Me" sounds much better than it's spelled. Calm down, Kankuro, sitting down was all he needed to do before spilling it. Okay, so you're telling me... that all nine Tailed Beasts used to be a single one? DID HE STUTTER? Huh, so that one Mizukage used to be the Three-Tails' wielder. Hey, remember this dude from that one filler arc? Turns out he was kinda plot-relevant for those who skipped his eight episodes. It goes without saying that Naruto's got the Nine-Tails in him. This is some pretty interesting, if not completely ridiculous, lore. I mean, the moon is actually an artificial construct? What kind of Earth is even like that? [coughGurrenLaganncough] And there you have it, the enemy's plans, completely laid out in the form of a Wham Episode. [realization] All this time, and only now does he realize he's been Punk'd. THIS MEANS WAR. Yeah, fuck Danzo! Not a lot to say here, guess I'm finally running out of steam today. The big question here is, should Naruto and Bee fight with them, or should they not? Okay, so it's a no, then. All good reasons. "SPIT IT OUT, WHITE BOI!" So you're saying Kisame's a Zero-Tailed Beast? Sadly (or rather, gladly), Sasuke and Karin are no longer in this plane of existence. (For the time being.) Oh yeah, that stone girl has been nowhere these past episodes, has he? Not now, he's meditating. Wow, they sure found him quick. FUCK YEAH COSTUMING TIME. Next week. This week, mud fishing. SPACE DANDY - If not for this episode, Flip Flappers would not exist. [flip flap flip flap]

Ben can be lazy like that. Remember that time he refused to believe that KLK was getting a dub just because he didn't want to click the link up top and everyone shamed him for it?

Goo goo gah joob, or somethin'.

You know how Araki is when it comes to having villains kill dogs. In my opinion, the more gruesome the dog murder is, the eviler the perpetrator is. Though as to whether beheading two dogs and eating one of their eyes in an over-the-top manner in front of their owner is more evil than throwing one in the furnace just to stick it to your adoptive brother, I'll leave that up to you.

That fic needs to mention how Hitler going Super Saiyan is Hilarious in Hindsight, considering this happened some years later.

Now that I have your attention, the new Pokemon anime now holds an advantage over all other anime: a deliberate Pop Team Epic reference. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-06-09/pop-team-epic-goes-full-circle-in-latest-pokemon-episode/.132542

I hear it was Ancient Aliens, was it Ancient Aliens?

Yeah, when I started early, I forgot the exact dates for a number of them, so I guesstimated based on the month. Nowadays when I add a show, I go straight to "add detailed" and input the start date from there.

FLCL Progressive 1 (rewatch) Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online 9

Also, finally got to this week's Dandy. If the caste system musical number killed this episode, the '80s training montage brought it back to life, like the glorious phoenix or slightly less glorious Lazarus. (Seriously though, the moment that musical number ended, I rewatched the cold open of FLCL Progressive just to wash myself of that holier-than-thou high schooler taste.)
