I wouldn't mind that, I barely paid attention whenever they didn't air an episode with a V subrating. Unless it was the Matsuda episode, that one was great.

Stop trying to make "Black Clover is not a thing" a thing. It's never going to happen.

And now will probably be the third time they try airing more mature stuff, right?

I wasn't around for the mustache prank, but the ones they did for Witch Hunter Robin were pure perfection. I'd pull up the image, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Kuroko's Basketball 28

Master of Martial Hearts marathon, and a show announcement promo narrated by Peter Cullen.

Pop Team Epic 12

I dunno, 117 is still pretty high on their popularity scale as far as the entire breadth of anime is concerned.

The most live action on Toonami I'll personally take is Hellshake Yano.

Unless they're Haruyuki from Accel World.

"Just no fanservice. Boobs creep me out."

Surprise second post in one day. SPACE DANDY - I remember seeing someone watch this episode on the [adult swim] stream on one of the computers in my uni's First Year Engineering lab. Personally, I found that to be pretty neat, almost as neat as this episode's unique visual direction and heavily Kaiba-inspired atmosphere. Also, I kinda wanna taste one of those colorful-looking food balls Meow was being fed all episode. COWBOY BEBOP - It's amazing how basically outside of Spike's "too much virmouth" comment and that aside about Judy marrying her agent, these last two episodes are practically devoid of humor. But it's not like that lack makes them unwatchable, the whole two-parter is excellent regardless. I'm sure some of you know this already, but that song playing during Spike's raid on Syndicate HQ, I thought it was The Real Folk Blues for the longest time, but it's only now that I discovered it's a completely different song with the same tune as TRFB, but with a slightly altered arrangement and completely different lyrics. (Also, it was planned to be the original ending theme, but it wasn't finished in time, so they had to use TRFB instead.) The anime staff nerd in me loved the background studio references I was able to spot in the HD version; the DEEN brand chips in Annie's store and the Sunrise box (complete with the iconic S) in Laughing Bull's hideout. And no matter who says what, Spike dying at the end is the only right way Bebop could've ended. I wish I'd still preserved Angel's rundown on why that makes sense, because it was really well-written and explanatory. All in all, I finally got to watch Bebop in its full, mostly uncensored form, and it was glorious. Though if [as] reruns it again after the April Fools' stunt, I'll probably skip it. You can only take so much before it gets old. 100/10. You're gonna carry that weight, indeed. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2ND GIG - That ending reveal confused me to about the same level as everyone else. At least, I think it did. Oh well, the fact of the matter is, I'll be able to actually remember what happened this episode now.

DRAGON BALL SUPER - Trunks sure knows how to time his resheathing to those explosions. "Don't you remember the battle on Mango Hill? He fought Black to a standstill!" BULLHORN. It's Vegeta's face's fault he was so evil. Dammit Trunks quit assuming Mai's dead just because she fell limp, you didn't even check her goddamn pulse! Bet you feel like an idiot now, don't you, Trunks? "I thought you were dead!" "Nope!" Just kiss already, you two. She was part of the Pilaf Gang, that means she can survive almost anything. FIGHT BACK AGAINST BLACK. You probably wanna tone it down a little, Goku. Buffet time. Oh hey, it's Yajirobe. I too would have thought he was killed upon learning Korin was taken out. That's Saiyans, they're hardly ever worried. John Cena is finally the proud papa. Goku Black sounds more like Zamasu every day. HE'S HEEEEEEEERE. Oh hey, he referenced the Jelly Vegeta filler. I think Trunks is onto something there. So many different Super Saiyan hair colors. I'm surprised they actually did a British accent for this form. A rose by any other name... is still Goku. Welp, Vegeta's dead. Again. That Kamehame-ha looks pretty black hole-y, if you ask me. Wait, that voice! ZAMASUUUUUUUUUUU. DRAGON BALL Z KAI - So Buu's gloating is dramatic irony, then? Kibito Kai, you a pussy. He's so happy he could run in a stream. Elder Kai knows what's up. Air backstroke. So are those clothes part of his body, or aren't they? We now return you to "Journey to the Center of Buu", already in progress. Like a village idiot. That crystal ball has crazy good reception. You a dirty bastard, Vegeta. Saiyans be crazy, yo. The cake is not a lie, not when Buu's got his sights set on some. How convenient, his face being exposed. It feels so good to see Buu on the losing end. VICTORY DANCING. I dare more horror movies to quit being so goddamn cruel the youth who kind of deserve it but not to the point of being ridiculously fatal. It wasn't fun when Final Destination did it, and it's much less fun now. I enjoy these two's banter. Oh hey, they found OG Buu. I almost panicked at the sudden glitchiness before realizing I was watching this on an HDTV. Again, Buu is too OP. It's good to see those three are still around. If he was a statue, he'd be monochromatic. AND NOW WE'LL NEVER KNOW. (I pray to god you're adopted.) That was a different comedy-visual moment. HOT CHEEK ON CHEEK ACTION. Shut up, Buu. Okay, Whack-a-Buu was pretty amusing. BLACK CLOVER - Funny how Asta and Noelle aren't the ones most likely to keep this mission from succeeding. Thanks, Yuno. I still can't see Dimestore Griffith's hair with all that unnecessary fur on his mask. Nice to see that glasses dude is still a major buzzkill. A filter she may lack, but at least Mimosa's nicer to Noelle than her immediate family is, especially Captain Rattail. I'm starting to unironically love Asta's shoujo manga eyes. I agree, he is nuts. The dungeon is your girlfriend, and the Black Bulls are gonna do what they do best and NTR the shit out of you. It's Golden Dong, Asta. I can't believe I'm enjoying their bickering as much as I am. Fuck yeah, 3D maps. Tornado hoverboard, go! Truly everything is a dick-measuring contest between these two. You have the clothes on your back, but no shoes or even socks. Also, I love that they aren't even trying to hide Jason and Gill's player names. This is an oddly listenable song I'm hearing right now, and the "sunset in the forest" atmosphere really helps. Smarter than the average bird, I see. Never underestimate the main protagonist! As a normal person would expect, the enemy troops were who Luck ran off to fight. At first I thought he was a coward, but now he isn't. Damn, this guy is hard to read. "Your daughters can kiss my ass!" WELCOME TO ZERO-G, CHILDREN. Oh hey, a mimic. And an anatomically correct one, at that. When you get beaten so hard by the token tsundere you actually vomit. Even before his heyday, Yami was a total badass. And then Black Clover got a brief taste of what it's like to play DDLC. Finally this kid is starting to get a bit of comeuppance for being so annoying thus far. Oh boy another ice guy. "Yes, first ones here!" Oh good, that surprise attack missed her vital organs. This dude's come to claim his runner-up prize. IT'S TRUMP CARD TIME, MOTHERFUCKERS. FarCry 5 City looks like a fun place to live. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - Meanwhile, Kakyoin still can't see shit. The Speedwagon Foundation is the best foundation of its kind, all others need not apply. Screw you, episode title, I'm still calling it "Bastet's Mariah". Oh, so they're in King Tut's final resting place, that's pretty neat. I love it when they pixelate out the bowel movements. Why can't they do that in hentai instead of covering up the genitals? OH MY GOD indeed, Joseph. Power sockets? In my desert climate? It's more likely than you think. STATIC SHOCK. Iggy just don't give a fuck. That's not how "Bastet" is pronounced, translators! Coco Cola. That poor, poor carpenter. NICE CATCH. Now that's really waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Conspicuous CGI rolling chair, I like it. Oh hey, it's Tenten. And she's still prone to fits of murderous rage, good for her. Holy shit it's a horny granny. JOESTAR SECRET TECHNIQUE, ACTIVATE! Congratulations, Joseph, you're now a human magnet. Make sure not to visit any video rental places while you're like that. This looks like a Final Destination death just waiting to happen, I blame that damn Truth or Dare movie. Micro-mini-skirt. Of course we'd get a hot lady STAND user sooner or later. If SwimModBast were still around, I think she'd appreciate this episode. (As for convincing her to unban my original account, it's much too late for that.) Thanks, Avdol. Congratulations, now everybody in the hotel thinks you're crazy. Okay, maybe Blatch was right about me having to go easier on rating Freezing, which I have been. Running is what Joseph does best. Oh hey, it's the men's room only with cramp couches instead of urinals. And they're still waiting. Avdol needs an adult. I dunno, those fishnetted legs looked pretty nice. The woman they belong to, on the other hand... Oh no, it's the horny granny again! And she's hornier than ever! SHIT COUNT: 1. To quote one translation, disasters in the bathroom are Polnareff's department. MORE HOT CHEEK-ON-CHEEK ACTION. Now this truly is the worst three-legged race. If next episode doesn't get a TV-MASV, I'm gonna be livid. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - SHIT COUNT: 1. Yeah, pretty certain he ain't making it out of that mobile suit alive. You know shit's 'bout to get real when Mikazuki puts on the serious voice. Listen to Blonde Kirito for once, Orga, he actually knows what he's talking about. RETREEEEEEEAT. Sucks for you, Mika doesn't believe in talking as a free action. Just ask Carta and her subordi nates in Gundam Valhalla, a.k.a. the Build Fighters universe. PURPLE SMOKESCREEN NO JUTSU. Meanwhile, McGillis and Gaelio are still taking it to one another. MIGHT MAKES RIGHT, BITCH. You can blame Gaelio' sister for that brief moment of weakness, even though that stab wound wasn't meant for you at the moment of stabbing. I'm not exactly surprised that he's dying, though I can't say it's predictable either. You a dick, Gaelio. You know, I'd have assumed J.R. Cricket's was a fake pizza place, I too am surprised that it's real. I too am surprised that Julietta managed to survive that thrashing. For being all banged up, that ship sure looks like it's still in working order. Thanks for the report, Gon. Gay kid could really use more reasons to live. I also wasn't expecting Gay Dandy Jr. to not be human debris like those other guys. This kid should be the new face of post-war depression. Something tells me this plan for the future is going to go awry. Right now is Mikazuki's quiet time, do not disturb him. Well, that's Mikazuki for you. That Orga ain't right. Shino was a pretty alright bi guy. In which Orga realizes he fucked up bad. ACTION MONTAGE. Huh, it took longer than usual for the channel watermark to disappear. There must be a post-credits sequence coming up. THAT THERE IS. You don't have to hate pedophiles to not want to be in McGillis's space boots right now. HUNTER x HUNTER - Knuckle doesn't approve of your move, but he approves of the name; I can respect that. What he's doing is a little something we like to call "tough love". Damn Gon, that's intense. Here's Kurapika and Leorio's obligatory cameo for the arc. Fuck yeah, I love me some psychological fight analysis. ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA. Nobody knows what Gon is thinking. I'm at a loss to whether or not Ballmasterz is gonna be good or not. Cool, he finally used Paper. That was an awesome finish, even if he didn't win as a result. I'd listen to Killua, personally. For a second there, I thought Bisky was gonna wake him up with a bucket of cold water. And then she revealed her true, textbook beefcake form. Yes, let's all blame Illumi. JoJo!Bisky is best girl that isn't Shizuku. LOSER YOU'RE A LOSER. Hey, where's Palm been all this episode? Oh, there she is, and she's acting all DDLC-creepy as she usually does. Hey, we went an entire episode without seeing any ants, it's a goddamn miracle. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Yes, these four have been traveling to the village on foot this whole time. For some reason, the episode looks less HD-quality than these several past episodes have. Keep it in your pants, Sasuke. Oh god it's a little girl singing a stupid song, I'd bail out right now if this wasn't the last episode of filler. (Not that I'd bow out permanently to begin with... ) Even little girls have the hots for Sasuke. There should be a name for this law, that every conversation ends in talking about Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry. I like how Tsunade's threatening to kick Sakura's ass just as much as she is Naruto's. Keep it in your dress, little girl. I can't get over this sexy jazz music. The answer is to drag her there kicking and screaming. Or just transform into Sasuke, that works too. I never knew I needed Sasuke with Naruto's personality and mannerisms. Wait, where're Naruto and Kakashi going with that stupid dance? And that was the first time Sasuke got murderously jealous of him. Can you feel the secondhand embarrassment? Eh, what a ka-winky-dink! TOO MANY SASUKES. For those of you who wanted to see Sasuke use a Rasengan, there you go. And so the facade drops. Lotta fade-ins and fade-outs this episode. To be a ninja is to be able to kick ass even when bound and gagged. That sounds creepy coming out of your mouth, stock villain guy. SASUKE, IN. As I expected, he wasn't human all along! Or at least, that was a false face. Don't speak of Itachi in front of Sasuke, that's his main trigger. And then he murderized the hell out of that guy. That Sasuke kid sure has brain problems, doesn't he. That's an interesting setpiece to end the episode on. Next week, we're back to canon, finally. [i love mein job]

FLCL had a convoluted plot back when rewatching something multiple times in order to get it actually meant something.

You don't need any indication that he's being sarcastic to know he's being sarcastic, dummy. Having conversed with him several times over the past few years, I knew he was kidding the moment he said it. That and the article didn't actually outright say Toonami was going to air SAO Alternative, so you know, you could've figured he was lying based on that instead of reacting like an impulsive moron.

March Comes in Like a Lion 42

Tonight on Toonami, Trunks meets up with the remaining resistance fighters with his secret weapons against Black in tow, said secret weapons journey inside Buu to rescue those he's absorbed but not digested yet, Asta and Noelle meet up with Yuno and his Golden Dawn comrades inside the dungeon, a bizarre electrical mishap turns Joseph into the Human Magnet, the continued battle against the Arianrhod Fleet takes its toll on both McGillis and Tekkadan, Knuckle reveals to Gon why his Rock-Paper-Scissors attack is weaksauce (or at least tries to), the first bout of Flashback Filler Hell finally ends with Sasuke reflecting on another Team 7 mission, Dandy goes traveling with a bunch of sentient plants on their psychedelic homeworld, and Bebop would sing us out with a full hour of the Real Folk Blues, if not for Section 9 enacting their plan to capture Kuze in the wake of the refugees on Dejima declaring their independence coming right after. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #56 - Rematch With Goku Black!

Freezing 5 One Outs 1

For god's sake Elfie, he's being sarcastic, how have you not gotten that yet?

I always use italics for emphasis, so I'd have taken that route.

B: The Beginning 4 Soul Buster 6 Neo Ranga 18

The fact that you're still complaining about it a year later is the reason [adult swim] hates us anime fans.

I am the stench and it feels grrrrrrrrrrreat.

So the FLCL 3 protag, then. Aight.
