March Comes in Like a Lion 37

DRAGONBALL SUPER - They portray Mai as being relevant in the OP, and now she's dead. This is almost criminal. Picking lettuce is the easy part; the hard part is making them land in the bin without bruising. Check her pulse, Trunks! "Who is this ruthless enemy that-HOLY SHIT IT'S GOKU." Goddammit Trunks, checking her pulse shouldn't be that hard! On one hand it's Trunks' future, but on the other it's still DBZ, so... maybe there is hope, maybe there isn't. "YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING!" Bullshit, the Androids took plenty from you before this poseur came along. You say that like you aren't a Saiyan yourself, evil Goku. Hey, that's Gohan's move! The lab's been running on autopilot this entire time. WARP TIME. Welcome to the world of time traveling, Goku. The answer is 550, but I bet they'll answer 50 because little kids can't into Order of Operations. And then Pilaf took over the show, just as he always wanted. YOYOI! Waves and rocks~. Well, at least there's always shota!Trunks and loli!Mai. HOW LEWD. Welcome to the world of time traveling, surprisingly likable tutor lady. "...Is that me?" Should I consider this a plothole if Bulma previously knew Future Trunks as having purple hair? Top-down shooter games look so cool. Shame it's wasted on the personification of the Japanese justice system. Beerus sure loves his ramen. "Trunks Army" has a nice ring to it. Tutor lady is surprisingly a cute. Welcome to the world of Dragon Ball Z, where I'm the only one that fuses the words "dragon" and "ball" into one. Meanwhile, Black Goku is still confuddled. There's no way Korin and Yajirobe aren't married like in the abridged version. SENZU BEAN~. And that's how Goku became a PTSD trigger for the boy. DRAGONBALL Z KAI - CHOCOLAAAAAAAATE! What even is that episode title. You do realize it was ruined long before this, don't you, Piccolo? With all this action this early on, don't be surprised if this rundown sounds a little barebones. Oh hey, he can do the Final Flash too. I don't think eyes are supposed to work like that. Orange juice concentrate. You should've remembered that Buu would survive as long as his flesh was still alive. And then more ghosts. Wait, does Buu even have a nose? All these squares make a half-circle. It must be the Kami inside him that's making him freak out so badly. Of course, Goku doesn't really care as much as everyone else should. [BANSHEE SCREECH] Screw you and your silly rules, Gotenks. AHHHH YEAH~. Poor Piccolo, questioning the life choices he made up to this point. I christen this hole, Idiot Crater II. If only in real life people quit being so attached to their damn phones. "Woo-hoo!" See, Goku's into it. ATATATATATATATATATATATATATA. But aren't the Dragon Balls incapable of working right now, or did Dende change the rules when he remade them? "Man, this guy's annoying!" I agree, I wish he'd just die already, even knowing that he's not gonna. And then random Pinocchio nose. Clearly the solution is to confiscate his manga. HOME RUN. When all else fails, take a bite out of crime. That had to be the most '80s-like his mullet has looked thus far. Dammit Goku, don't shit-talk your son, especially after you let Cell beat him up that one time. Screwed already, huh? BLACK CLOVER - Virgin Street Punk Dandy is a total bro, he's slowly shaping up to be my new favorite character. Meanwhile, the Golden Dawn's Magna equivalent is still a total douche. Yuno looks like he's gonna stab somebody sometime during the next week. Fuck you, church people. "P.S. I know you're gonna say no like you always do, but marry me, Sister Lilly!" Finally, a building with worse internal architecture than Knowlton Hall. The best kinds of cake are the kinds that regenerate for you. The Asta-Yuno friendship is old and busted, Asta-Magna is the new hotness. And in enters twintails bitch, who has twintails and is a bitch. Between Game Night and Mom & Dad, I have a feeling present-day America's got a real boner for comedies where people die in gruesome manners. One reason of many why I stick to anime. Huh, didn't expect it to dodge Asta. So you're saying that even for the Black Bulls, she's crazy? APOLOGIZE. Oh hideout architecture, you so crazy. So she has poor aim, apparently. Man, he's a real water magnet today. Fuck you, twintails bitch's family, you're actually worse than the church kids. How do you fail at magic so badly you get overwhelmed by your own attack? REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "Good lord dude how long were you shitting?" Yami takes his dumps very seriously, more seriously than he does his actual job. Man, these guys are useless. You phrased it that way on purpose, didn't you, Yami? HE'S GOIN' LONG AGAIN! For all his yelling, I enjoy it when Asta's mind just says something in the flattest tone possible. Teleporters; fuck yeah. "I'm all wet now..." Yep, everything she says is a double entendre. You're a surprisingly good sport, Asta. Because apparently we can't go an episode without that one guy going on about his sister. I'd tell Asta to fuck the new girl, but I'll wait until someone gets her a nun costume to cosplay in. I'm getting kinda tired of this multiracial family. JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - Turns out my DVR recording synopsis spoiled the episode, not that I care about spoilers. That's a fucked-up way of thinking, Cameo. I should be uneasy around Zombie Avdol, but damn that EDM track. "AVDOL WHY!?" You know why, Polnareff, Angel's been telling you why for the past several months! Holy crap, exposed nipple-less boobs, how daring of you Toonami. Polnareff, you dumbass. You're a dick, Cameo, and also a complete dumbass. Eaten alive by Tokyo Ghouls... truly a fate worse than regular death. I'm seeing double... four Avdols! "I have learned that the only way to defeat a Tokyo Ghoul... is to burn it." You forgot about him getting shot by Hol Horse, you stupid STAND genie. YES I AM. Ohh, so now you remember. Smart move, Avdol. HELL 2 U. That must be one of Washington's famous explosive bouts of anger. Fuck you, Cameo. Just imagine how out of context this scene would be to a normal person. Looks like Avdol's hatching a scheme. GAH MY SEXY HAND! Avdol's pain didn't crash because Joseph wasn't on it with him. Put your finger in that tube so he won't have air to breathe! Or just cover it with a leaf to test the waters, that works too. YEAHHHHH FINGER TIME. How conniving of you, Polnareff. And how conniving of you, Avdol! Well that was an easy defeat. [rimshot] And they're not surprised at all. Laissez-faire. Turns out it was all a prank at Polnareff's expense. (At least, part of it was.) Now that's what I call dedication to keeping the enemy in the dark. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "I like how Avdol's dad disguise was just white hair and no pants." And a fake goatee, don't forget the fake goatee. That's one big-ass submarine. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - Oh boy now we get some ac-wait what the hell there was a one month timeskip? Goddammit! And it turns out it was just window dressing for the actual battle! All I can say is, FUCK YEAH FULL POWER BARBATOS. Oh boy, Mika's pissed, now things are gonna get really real. That final battle turned out rather well, I must admit. Still can't tell if McMurdo's a secret villain or just the type of guy who drives a hard bargain. It's great, watching Iok get shit on by everybody. At least his buddies are alright. "Underboss" sounds like a cool title. There, Mika's awake, now pull him out. And then he was a stroke victim. Mmm, Martian cream puffs. Well this got dramatic real fast. I had a feeling the "make babies" line was gonna be this episode. Meanwhile, Gaelio is still most certainly dead, probably. TRUMP CARD COUNT: 1. Oh hey, it's Angel's doppelganger. Shut up, Iok. These guys and their giant robot names. At least now, Merribit's concerns about these kids going into danger don't sound super ridiculous. Every time I think Orga's over his head, he says something that makes me rethink that. Mikazuki, you stubborn fool. REPLY TO ANGEL 3: "Sooo are we just gonna ignore Atra's sudden fetish?" It's only a fetish if she's watching Mika fuck Kudelia, and not just supporting the action in and of itself. HUNTER x HUNTER - I like that Gon isn't the only one who's Naruto running. So those must be the human meatballs. I still think Penguin dude sounds more like Michael McConnohie than Cam Clarke. Some guy claims Togashi said scorpion chick is actually dude and I don't believe him. Fuck this spider dude. Sting him in the forehead. Lord Big Horn? Yessssss strangle him. Oh, Lord Bee Horn. Rammot says "NEEEEEIGH" to an empty stomach. It's weird how Colt's snout looks like a beak in profile but a nose from the front. Dear god, those horses have been crucified! Rabbit dude's human feet and pincer-less fingers are kinda freaking me out. Okay, so he's weak enough that Gon and Killua can take care of them by themselves, or so Kite's hoping. CHIDORI FINGERBANG! Killua looks so cat-like there. "I'LL BE BAAAAAAAAAACK!" Huh, so he did get badly damaged from their attacks after all. I'm not sure if he's lying or not, but either way Ant Genos is looking pretty pissed. I could've sworn that little blonde girl was a human and not an ant when I saw her image on twitter half an hour ago... Bah, fuck these guys, especially the little girl. By comparison, these guys are pretty alright. REPLY TO ANGEL 4: "Sheer willpower and rage are the only things getting me through work too." Among other things... Sweet, free guns. And also, free drugs!

The fanservice, duh.

Here marks the end of another era, which went way longer than it probably should have. Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor #12 Finding One's Own Place

From what I recall, Yami wasn't the only one Finral didn't call "good people". He also left himself out, but that I'll chalk up to self-deprecation. Tonight on Toonami, Trunks does battle with the surprisingly Goku-esque Black out of revenge for Mai; Gotenks and Super Buu resume their fight on the now-empty lookout; Virgin Street Punk Dandy (or Magna, as he likes to be called) takes Asta on a tour of the Black Bulls' hideout; Polnareff finds himself face-to-face with his most dreaded enemy yet: zombie Avdol; Mikazuki risks what little control over his own body he has left in using the Barbatos's full power against the berserk Mobile Armor; Gon, Killua and Kite head deep into the NGL to begin their battle with the Chimera Ants; Naruto and Jiraiya learn the truth behind the bandits that took over the village they recently came across; Gene and crew meet two of the characters from their failed spin-off; Dandy returns to the block for the first time since the downsizing because right now, he's the hero this block really needs; the Bebop crew crash right in the middle of a blaxploitation movie set on Io as they struggle to stave off starvation; and Motoko hears a story about herself from the owner of an antique shop in the allegedly abandoned part of town. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #48 - Hope!!

This exchange from episode (read: chapter) 4 of my anime idea loosely based off of this image, spoilermarked for those actually interested in reading the whole thing.

Still sore about that, Demarco!

And now they air practically nothing but Teen Titans GO! reruns. Damn, CN really went down the tubes this past decade.

That's the short version? You couldn't find something more concise than this?

Inuyashiki Last Hero 4

Neo Ranga 13-14

JoJo may soil the sheets, and Black Clover may diarrhea the mattress, but Teen Titans Go reruns drench the whole damn room in shit.

I heard "Netflix" and "anime-style" and immediately thought Neo Yokio. In all honesty, I'm kind of disappointed.

Just so long as you remember to cross-check your facts here before making an unintentional fool out of yourself.

Fresh cilantro is just the worst, glad to see somebody agrees with me on that.

Yeah, the CSW times weren't the best but I remember a good half of them fondly, your posts being the best amongst them. Your reviews of Mayo Chiki made me extremely glad that I had watched Yuruyuri instead that season.

Actually that was Clifford Chapin that voiced Daichi. I swear, do you even read Anime News Network?

I remember you making a Wicker Man reference in your CSW post for one of the episodes and then getting somewhat excited after learning someone posted it on 4chan.

How stupid can you be to think that 4:3 and SD are the exact same thing?

The way you say that, it's like the Japanese didn't do the exact same thing but with their own voice actors.
