YEAHHHHHHHHHHH.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Don't worry, I'll calm down once I find a good "bullied Satellizer" image to use as my next icon.

That's what I've been telling him, and he keeps announcing his ignoring of people like they're supposed to care.

Man, if someone I knew was that dumb, I'd slap them across the face and tell them to go back to elementary school.

I don't hate Black Clover, but Demarco deserves some kind of divine retribution for forcing it on us.

Again, I wasn't trying to create something super-profound and "care about these characters!", just something fun that someone would find interesting for whatever reason or another. The way I see it, the lacking information on all the others screams "why should I care?" not like "I don't care", but instead "I'd like to know more". Now, I'm not sure which one all of you were on, but if lack of care for the minor characters is the primary problem and you liked the rest regardless, I'd honestly be surprised if it was more the former than the latter. Though that's probably because I prefer mystery to simply taking things at face value.

The longer time passes, the more I think Toonami only aired Akame ga KILL! as part of a package deal so they could air Parasyte.

Implying the erection wouldn't make you more capable of saving the world if you were piloting that robot.

Best "stopped reading there" ever.

HIGH SCHOOL DxD/S-CRY-ED POWER HOUR, BABY.

I'd hate on Stu Snyder, but he was actually preferable to Christina "KIDS ARE FUKKEN STUPID" Miller.

What they need to do to get back ratings is air fanservicey action anime with limited commercial interruption. It's unlikely to happen, between Cartoon Network being a kid's station first, Turner S&P not wanting to edit too much, and Demarco being afraid of fanservice inherent to anime not named Kill la Kill, but I think it'd work, even if it's just one anime. In fact, I'd prefer it if it were just a single fanservice anime, if only for dissonance. I'd love to see the dissonance going from Freezing into Iron Blooded Orphans or vice versa, especially with them sharing the same composer.

Elfie, I love you, but shut the fuck up. You don't know that's what's gonna happen.

You seriously think Polygon Pictures' anime is produced by Netflix in-house? Talk about denser than osmium.

There was this awesome promo for the October 30, 2004 airing of the Animatrix on [adult swim] that I have on an old VHS tape. I'm surprised it hasn't surfaced online, that means I have a legit piece of lost media stored away in my bedroom closet somewhere.

Tangentially related, who else is watching B: The Beginning when it drops in March? [raises hand]

Soul Buster 1-2

Kuroko's Basketball 14

You're an idiot, Al. [imawot]

You think he's senile? I mean, the dude forgot about one of his own characters, even if it was just Launch.

I'm using the new backdoor schedule and the block looks the same as it always has.

Inuyashiki Last Hero 5

Naruto 220

For a second there, I was gonna question why you'd do that... But then I remembered that you hate his mask-helmet. That said, she's just waiting for the perfect opportunity. Blatch, I like you and all, but you should know by now how much I hate this, even hypothetically. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - That guy still looks too old to be a JYB character. Fuck you, small child. Wait, you mean that's all the women and children in the village? Seems rather small a number. CLOYSTER, I CHOOSE YOU! Oh, there's more cages, that makes sense. Next time, try firing it into his mouth! Personally, I feel "bully" is too nice a word for a bandit that's killed people. Shut up, kid, Naruto can handle this. (Before you say anything else, it's filler, you know he's gonna win somehow, even if Jiraiya does it for him.) Almost forgot about his magic hair. How appropriate yet predictable that the two-episode arc that started with lessons in breaking genjutsu would involve a genjutsu that requires breaking out of. What exactly is the purpose of replacing all Us with Ys in this game? That girl on the kid's back reminds me of a similar-looking character from Boruto. Wait why aren't his eyes frozen ye-theeeeeere we go. Thank you, convenient plot device. Shit like that is why Jiraiya's secretly the best. It's a good thing that the most we'll see of the gay frog this week is a flashback of him getting pwned. You do realize his mouth is at least partially open all the time, right? That's a big Rasengan. Even if he was a filler villain, that guy totally deserved that punch to the face. [insert Everybody Laughs ending here]. Jiraiya is the best pervy grandpa. So next week we go back to flashbacks with actual setup, right? OUTLAW STAR - That hobo looks awfully suspicious and kind of familiar. Not a week on their journey to the Leyline and they've already run into trouble. Stealing's okay as long as it's from the bad guys! Aw crap, it's the cops. Melfina looks kind of different this episode. "Wish they'd give us coffee or somethin'." Only in Japan do they do that, and even then it's more cutlet bowls than cups of coffee. SPIN-OFF TITLE DROP. Gene, you flirt. Whoa, didn't expect that punch. I love that random unprecedented "Yes, sir!" And apparently he has good hearing too. Well this conversation's certainly going better. Damn, I'm really tapped for comments this week. What's these passengers' deal anyways? Dammit guys, this isn't a restaurant. Well that escalated quickly. Fuck you, guards, and thank you, Aisha and Suzuka. Ah, shut up, Duuz. And of course the what now? Sounded like he said "outlaws". Suzuka's using a pipe as a sword. Yep, definitely tapped for comments. I promise I'll do better with this next week. Hopefully that's real dragonite they've got in there and none of that low-density crap. I'll come clean, this episode was actually pretty eh. One has to wonder why they chose this episode as the basis of that spin-off. Finally, a "juiciness behind the Starburst" explanation that isn't miniature fighter jets. I don't care if it's old, I appreciate the return to variety. SPACE DANDY - Watching this show, even in reruns, is always a party. Good thing that we won't be following things up with either Bleach or Naruto this time. So yes, no chickens will be banged this season. (It's an obscure reference, don't ask.) COWBOY BEBOP - This episode is just too good. Probably the best portrayal of the effects of one-time drug use in any medium, but I haven't tried shrooms so I wouldn't know. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2ND GIG - The further I get into this season, the more I wonder what inspired the Major to start wearing pants again. Apologies for the break in action here, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ANTI-SMOKING COMMERCIAL JUST NOW HOLY SHIT. With that out of the way, that subtle backstory for Motoko was very nice. I'm glad to see she finally got the hang of folding paper cranes. Real shame that the next time she saw that boy, she was shooting at him. I think I'm just gonna go simple and direct next week, no forcing comments to pad for time.

Related, I'm one episode away from completing OG Naruto. After nine years, I'll finally be out of Filler Hell. And yet I'll still be stuck in the shorter Filler Hell currently airing on Toonami.
