That's a shame, I quite appreciated your new avatar. The more people that know about Jam-Orbital, the better.

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Hyuuga episodes are very underrated, even if they're primarily about Neji as opposed to Hinata. OUTLAW STAR - Goddammit Blatch, you said this episode was mean-spirited towards Gene on purpose to lower my expectations, didn't you? I mean, about half of that was just pure slapstick, and that which wasn't drew no ire from me. Hell, I think he actually deserved that strike from Suzuka. That said, 10/10, breast episode ever. Now put on Freezing because dammit, the show itself is practically demanding that you air it, [adult swim]! SPACE DANDY - I completely forgot about Dandy lying about going to Boobies so he could pick up leads on where Adelie's grandfather was in secret. That scene really showed how dandy a guy he is deep down. COWBOY BEBOP - I remembered bits and pieces of this one, but I completely forgot all about Meifa's father being a Syndicate consultant, or him being trapped in a hyperspace field. GITS: SAC 2nd GIG - Alright, so I'm still not sure how the dead helicopter pilot from episode 4 is connected to the Individual Eleven. But at least I now know where Anime News Network got all those individual names for the suicide attemptees from.

Freezing 3 Inuyashiki Last Hero 10

Pop Team Epic 6 (dubbed) Kuroko's Basketball 20

SAO Alternative: GGO because being an SAO anime without Kirito, it might be good. Also it fits one of my MAL Challenge criteria. Tokyo Ghoul:re because fuck the police. The CCG are cool, tho. Dorei-ku because it's a fucking S&M anime, under what pretense did you think I wasn't going to watch this?

Two words: shit taste.

Kuroko's Basketball 19

Well you suck at letting us know it's sarcasm. A face like this >_> or even this would be better than nothing, which just makes you sound absolutely serious.

More like a g-damn moron.

"When meeting with scary people, you must always protect your wallet and asshole!"

Assuming they buy the shows that premiere in January at least one month before, I still think it's the 2017 budget they're using.

FACT #1: When a show's pushed back, it normally steps up to fill the next open slot when it comes down to it. FACT #2: The show that was meant to replace Lupin back in January was pushed back due to "legal issues". FACT #3: Toonami's show budget resets every January. FACT #4: If the show mentioned in #2 was originally set to premiere in January, that means Toonami bought it with the money they had leftover from 2017. FACT #5: Said end-of-year licenses (i.e. Samurai Champloo, Dimension W, maybe Tokyo Ghoul) are more often than not cheap or sweet deals. CONCLUSION: I don't know what it's gonna be, but it won't be obvious, and that's fine by me.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Blue Pop is offensive, all right. Offensive to my eyes.

I dunno about that, Asta seems like the kind of guy who'd mail Sister Lily the key along with the chastity belt. It's safe to say he's proposing to her constantly in the hopes, futile as they may be, that she'll say yes on her own. That said, it'd be fitting for him to give the key to her, expecting that if and when she says yes (which is never), she'll take it off to prove that she means it this time. Luck (fight junkie kid) and Finral (flirtatious guy) are two different characters. I can't say I know who that manga-ka was supposed to be, besides a very unlucky tourist. Killua was on the other side of the NGL border - the side that doesn't ban electronics - when he used his cell to call Kite's associates, so no sneaky tactics were used. He just swiped it out of the belongings left behind at the checkpoint when he passed through. One 4chan comment I read on this episode suggested that Viz is allowed to keep "Oingo Boingo" as print, but has to change it when spoken to avoid getting sued by the weird little girl-loving scientists themselves. Also, Zenyatta Mondatta is a reference in and of itself, to some obscure album from The Police. Just when I thought Aisha's tits were gonna make the episode an instant 10/10, now I have to worry about Gene getting the "unlucky harem protag" treatment. Le sigh. Besides, if what I heard elsewhere was correct, Tobigera was the real punching bag this episode.

DRAGONBALL SUPER - Nothing sucks more than being cucked by you from the future. This shit is too science-y for me. You say that like you're not a fossil yourself, you OG Dragonball character. This Trunks looks like he's gonna grow up to be a chuuni. "I'm so hungry..." "Preachin' to the choir, Goku." Meanwhile, in Trunks' PTSD nightmares... It's a good thing nobody was hanging out in the room with him. Oh, so that's what she had Monaka help out with that on time. DIG A HOLE, DIG A HOLE, DIG A HOLE. And now for a flashback to History of Trunks. Apparently I blocked Gohan's death out of my memory from the first time I watched History of Trunks because holy shit so many people were dying in that special it was almost triggering me why didn't I even consider that it was an alternate timeline that's what I get for not watching DBZ regularly like other people. Trunks really needs to do something about that PTSD of his. SARA thinks it isn't fair that this game review is spoiling Super Saiyan Rose for people who don't know about it already. I bet his blue hair is responsible for that double-take. Twenty bucks says he gets brain freeze. I'd buy Mr. Satan postage stamps. STOP. GREAT SAIYAMAN TIME. Consider this practice for when the two eventually pair up in GT. I love it whenever there's a remote sticking through the TV. SQUEEEEEAL. Some of Gohan's dialogue this episode's been makin' me cringe. IF ONLY BLACK WEREN'T HERE... Oh Beerus, you so tsundere. He looks like the kind of guy who'd eventually snap from the pressure. DRAGONBALL Z KAI - BEST RATING BEST RATING BEST RATING. And he evolved into a lamer version of Cell. This fight is why Gohan's as lame as he is now in Super. IF ONLY BEERUS WERE AWAKE... Who needs a gold finger when you have a gold hand? THANK YOU SATAN. Or maybe the goldfinger was best for him after all. And this was the moment where everyone realized Toriyama was a hack. [gasp] That's Yamcha's move! I'm surprised Gohan still has fight left in him. Turns out Goku's not the only one coming back to life, apparently. The suddenness of his demise is almost comical, in a way, especially with all the dramatic music. Thank Kami that the gods keep their bodies when they die. Super Buu sucks at kabedon. MY MARTIAL ARTS IS A GUN. Vigilante justice is the best unconventional therapy. Fuck yeah, fusion earrings. Shin is such a shitty Supreme Kai that even the show acknowledges that much. MAGNETIC FORCE! And that was the birth of Kibito Kai. There has to be a reversal process for this, how else would they have been able to split during the Universe 6 tournament? What an origin story, that Elder Kai has. THANK YOU, MAGIC MAN. Oh god, this is like Frieza all over again. SUDDENLY TIENSHINHAN. You gotta love that Paradox Beam, even when it doesn't do shit. And where's Chiaotzu, I wonder. GODDAMMIT GOKU QUIT STALLING. I can only imagine how hard these rules are gonna be broken in the future. AND IN COMES GOKU WITH THE SURPRISE DESTRUCTO DISC. Oh Mr. Satan, you and your taking credit for everything. "Was that your commercial?" "I don't know..." BLACK CLOVER - This is the most awkward collection of laughs I've ever heard. I'm not surprised the two biggest sluts in the whole squad went on a mission together. I AM AWARE OF THE HYPOCRISY. That bird's the little buddy of Asta's I was talking about, by the way. A literal gold star. They're so bad a squad they actually owe stars. Menacing Yuno. Where the hell did all the characters I actually hate in this squad even come from, even. KILL YOURSELF, YOU SISCON FUCK. And they all leave in a group, good for them. So pot potatoes are basically starchy yams. She's his waifu, let's leave it at that. At least Magna has the sense to save it all to send in a single go. It's amazing how Vanessa is just as undeveloped a character as fight kid, sweets girl, and that fucking siscon, but she's better than all three of them combined, even without taking her rockin' tits into consideration. "You ever hear of the William Tell Overture?" Of all the original characters I've cooked up over the past twelve years, I have one who's just as attractive and more willing to reciprocate unwanted advances than Sister Lily, and she dresses like a nun to boot! Maybe Asta could try proposing to her instead. This is a pretty kiddy commercial, but at least it isn't those damned crate creature things. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Why don't you just shit behind him so he doesn't have to hold on to you, you dumb bitch?" Uh... Freudian slip? BILLY JEAN/JOHN TRAVOLTA! Try not to eat the snake-on-a-stick this time, Asta. Screw you, priest, you suck Yuno's dick too much for Asta to even consider bringing you along. If only there was a sniper on one of those roofs. A girl with bright turquoise hair, she must be important. Now that's quadruple everything. Oh hey, it's the family of gingers again. The older sister looks kind of like she'd be Angel's doppelganger for this show in particular. Oh don't act like you don't want a piece of that, random bystanders. You call it a black market, and yet I don't see a single African-American in the place. This place must be great, if it's got something that can help develop Noelle's character/magic power. And that must be the underground casino, I can tell by how excited Magna is about going there. Wait isn't that the old lady that sold Asta those snakes? And why does she sound like she's being voiced by a dude? Oh hey, it's that guy who tricked Asta and got his ass kicked for it. That praying mantis you passed takes offense to that. You do see their cowls, right? No matter what the universe, aliens are always a constant. "Damn you, Asta!", says over half the people watching this tripe. And then his impulses activated. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "Was this episode filler?" This show's animated by the Naruto and Bleach guys; what do you think? JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - OHHHHH NOOOOO! And in comes Avdol with the ruse-meistering. But doesn't water normally beat fire? Eh, not the best edit, but it'll do. Oh boy here I go hearing Angel's screams of agony again. LEROOOOOOY! I do not mind Jotaro strangling that lazy-ass dog. Dang, that dog's good. This show really knows how to milk the tension out of otherwise non-tense situations. Wait, did Jotaro actually say "ORA!" out loud? That's awesome. Quick, save Avdol before Angel starts mourning again! N'DOUL: SPOTTED. And vice versa, which ain't good in the slightest. SHIT COUNT: 1. Jotaro you stupid genius. I don't know what Japan's deal is with that pitching position, but boy do I love it. FUCK YEAH IGGY. And fuck yeah to you too, Jotaro. What an exchange of blows. Holy shit more information protection via self-sacrifice. "His trapezius muscles rippled through his shirt..." That means the other eight STAND users have STANDS named after the other gods. I take it that smoke was the life energy escaping from his body. David Koresh has nothing on Dio Brando. Is he called Iggy because that's the kind of sound he makes? At least it's only gum in there and not something else. Meanwhile, surprise post-credits sequence! They changed their names for this dub, and yet the book's still called "Oingo Boingo Brothers". At least the dub's wording itself good so there's no plotholes left behind. What a grisly story, when does the movie adaptation come out? Guys, N'Doul's dead, I don't think he's gonna have his injuries treated anytime soon. I like the Egyptian police's headdresses. Poor dude just wanted to find inspiration for his comic book, and now he's dead. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - You know Jasley fucked up when even the damn narrator lady wants him dead. Merribit has officially made the switch over from asking "Why?" to answering that very question. Dude looks ugly when out of his pimp clothes. Is it weird that I prefer battles suddenly ending in favor of the aftermath as opposed to a battle starting without word of warning? Then again, this show did it before with the battle in Edmonton, so I shouldn't be too surprised. Iok's been grounded, he's not gonna be around for a while. I don't know what it is about Mika killing mooks, but goddamn do I enjoy it. The moment I saw that house I thought it was gonna be more McGillis low-key creeping on Almiria; this is definitely an improvement over that. Like I said, Iok has been grounded. Wow, taking a break already? Young Dandy isn't Dandy enough for this crew. To hell with decency! With all this talk of "extinction" and "global genocide", I can't help but wonder if these movies are making us feel better or worse about real life events. "She's taken quite a pounding, huh?" That's what he said! Is she suggesting she pull an Ein and become half-mecha? Or maybe she was talking about Definitely Not Gaelio But He Totally Is. There's no apologizing for putting out a hit on Lafter. You a stone-cold motherfucker, McMurdo, and I appreciate you for that. SEN-I SOUSHITSU! I dunno, rats can kill you if they're big enough. Mika journeyed here in order to take your lives. FUCK YOU JASLEY. I'm honestly starting to enjoy the anti-corruption themes in this show. Didn't you already say that one part earlier? All this tension, and Mika's just eating like it's no big deal. Because if there's one thing Barbatos needed, it was a tail. You're in a Mari Okada show, you ain't gonna be laughing anytime soon. I'm not used to these puffballs having actual voices. HUNTER x HUNTER - Fuck that convoluted noise, Imma call you Pitou and you're gonna at the very least accept that. It's gonna be weird every time I look at that Ant that shot and ate Ponzu. I still miss Bisky's pigtails. If only they knew the true reason why Ging sent them in Kite's direction... Kite was listening to your entire conversation, by the way. There are Hunter Commandments now? Oh hey, it's Ging's license. I think I remember that from the '99 adaptation. I don't really like the sound of that. I don't like the sound of that either, in fact... YOUR ARM'S OFF! Oh no, Gon's gone mad! Thank you, Killua. Huh, I didn't know how similar Killua and Pitou looked to one another before, at least when you're purposefully blurring your eyes really hard. NOT NOW CRAZY SLOTS. The three same Mr. Pickles ads, in the same order as last week. Now that's what's really fucked up. As dramatic as this whole start of the act is, I'm liking this tune. Was Spin super-close with Kite or something, she sounds awfully distressed. Oh hey, is that Netero back there? These guys with him definitely look like they know what they're doing. I knew Hisoka was gonna find his way into this arc somehow. I'm still confused as to what Pitou's gender is. Speaking of gender ambiguity, Killua's inner voice sounds more feminine than usual. Damn that's some good music, slowly getting on par with '99. Oh hey, Gon's awake. Oh no... he's optimistic. That's never a good sign. And then he turned into a watercolor painting. Welp, that's our story, Kite's dead, good night.

Rewatched Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2nd Gig 14 and Cowboy Bebop 20

My cable provider lists this episode as new. Today is a good day.

Not exactly new news, but it got me to reverse a previous decision of mine, so I guess that's worth something.

Tonight on Toonami, Trunks meets Gohan for the first time in seven-plus years and can't even begin to understand what he sees, DBZ finally earns itself best rating with Cell-Knockoff!Buu putting Gohan even further on the ropes because Toriyama's a hack, Asta gets his first paycheck (and unlike Seina, doesn't waste it all on fetish stuff for his little buddy), N'Doul's STAND continues to terrorize the group while Iggy just sits there and does nothing, Tekkadan wages war against Jasley for staging the death of Akihiro's not-so-girlfriend, Kite and the boys make it to the Queen's nest while the Chimera Ant squad leaders begin unlocking their Nen, Neji tells Konohamaru and his friends a story where he - not Naruto - is the main character, Gene makes a pit stop to pick up special Caster shells on a planet too hot for daytime Toonami (even when edited down), Dandy finds himself going on an impromptu road trip with a young alien girl, Jet partners up with an old acquaintance's daughter to find him after he mysteriously disappears, and the Tachikomas go in for maintenance, which somehow intersects with Section 9's most recent assignment. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #52 - Master and Pupil Reunited: Gohan and Future Trunks - TV-14L 11:00 - Dragonball Z Kai #151 - The Elder Kai's Brainstorm!

Or you could just be reading too much into Demarco's fun facts.

You do realize Outlaw Star isn't replaced until the week after, right?
