PokeNirvash

Pop Team Epic, full stop.

Only the death of Oda can end One Piece, but not even then...

As long as JoJo's still on the schedule, I'm perfectly okay with whatever changes are made to reduce the, uh, soiling. [i really wish we didn't have to call it that]

March Comes in Like a Lion 32

Kuroko's Basketball 2

...Shit like this is why I hate you now.

I'd be up for that.

Like I said: JoJo soiled the sheets, Black Clover soiled the mattress. Your bias towards JoJo isn't gonna save you this time, Jingai.

>blaming JoJo's poor retention on the show itself and not Black Clover Get the hell outta here. Still, Shippuden's retention is pretty great. As to be expected from best (non-Hinata or Temari) girl Tenten.

And now for some replies to Foley. As to be expected from our resident anti-lolicon crusader. Eh, I personally wouldn't write off Stick Dinner's manner of speaking and terrible jokes as "not strongly objectionable". Lupin's car, like Lupin himself, runs on the power of sheer toonforce. In all fairness, OG Filler Hell Naruto (the character) is kinda dumb.

[sigh] Freaking Star Wars nerds... LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE - I'd make an Amtrak joke here, but that's beneath me. So apparently this takes place back before Robson grayed. I'm honestly surprised Rebecca's still fairly young. Hoy malloy not another marriage proposal. Turns out it was just a movie, but it was based on a true story so there's a little truth to it. You go to eat sushi in Italy when there's a perfectly fine pizza place right next door. Lupin's a thief, he doesn't have to pay for your food! SURPRISE ZENIGATA. That Zeni really needs to get a hobby. Now this is train racing. This guy is like all the negative stereotypes about otaku rolled into one, but without any of the herbivorous tendencies. Okay that was too quiet what did he say. Man the Italian police really suck. SHEEEEEEEEEEP! "Don't shoot anything important." I think I get what he meant by that. Man his car is surprisingly resilient. Zenigata brandishing that fish like a knife. (Fuckin' knife!) "You knew the risks when you decided to drive drunk become a fireman." Okay, now the Japanese guy going for sushi in Italy? That makes sense. And people say the Italian soundtrack is shit. I love how this is more Lupin and Zenigata on a road trip than I expected it to be. Easy, you catch him with your combined wits. At least Asta never used his marriage proposals as a threat. And people say they never wanted Lupin on Toonami. SIDEWAYS WHEELIE. And in the end, nothing exploded, and for the better. Lupin/Zenigata is the best friendly rivalry. So they wound up combining Lupin and Robson into one character in the end, huh. And now we're back to where the whole season started. REPLY TO ANGEL 4: "That was nice but wasn't Da Vinci about to take over the world?" That's what the last three episodes are for. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - If your episode implies that Tenten is gonna have a lead role, you're gonna have a bad time. Ah, so it's Gai's fault all the team formations in Filler Hell are how they were! Tenten the best choice for captain on this mission? Inconceivable! Neji's embarrassment's running pretty high, and he isn't even blushing. Sounds like a lot, but at least it's better than picking up ninja dog poop. I feel like I've heard that phrase before. I don't know who this kid is but I don't like his look. Clearly what they need are special gloves to handle the double-bladed kunai and thousand-bladed shuriken, so they aren't as dangerous to the wielder. Naruto: The Human Shuriken. Well at least it hit the bullseye. What a nice little conversation between those two. My word, that trowel is infused with Nen chakra! Welcome to Deathtrap City, population: you. Oh goddammit Neji. You think they have any brick buildings at all in that town of pig-people? Fuck yeah, electronic dance music. "We need tungsten to live! TUNGSTEN!" Not even Naruto can believe how useful Tenten is being this episode. Tenten, you weapons nerd. That's a big-ass scroll. Because you can't have a filler episode without a couple enemy ninja. You fucked up now, nerd JYB. I'll admit, those weapons are pretty cool. It also ain't filler unless Naruto's using Rasengan in a situation that doesn't really require it. A giant spiky ball of sorts. I don't think that shield's meant to defend against a giant spiky ball of doom. It appears that getting her back broken by Temari was a step in the right direction for Tenten after all. This was definitely one of the better fillers of the bunch that aired so far. Huh, so that's what Tender Touches looks like... Weird. OUTLAW STAR - What an ominous opening narration. What an equally ominous gathering of assassins. Of course the XGP would be the reason they're after Gene's head. Aisha likes playing dating sims. Melfina's looking especially '90s today. Is this guy Jigsaw? BELIEVE IT COUNT: 1. When you're tryin' to propose and all else fails, always rely on the lollipop and cat-o'-nine-tails. (Bullhorn.) HEART BLAKE. Gene's too depressed to get laid tonight. I wonder what they replaced "smartass" with on the Toonami version, considering it's not in the list of edits for this specific episode. I don't know if I should cower in glory or in fear of Aisha's cooking. What a nice friendly chat about mortality. Dammit Gene, don't be a jackass, especially to Melfina. Too soon, Grand Theft Auto. Way too fucking soon. So if Gene dies, that means Aisha's the main character now? DOUBLE KILL. Or perhaps not. Well, at least that guy had his priorities straight. Gene's lip flaps are all shot to hell this week. Turns out Gene's drinking buddy was the true Shimi after all. SURPRISE MISSILES. TRUMP CARD COUNT: 1. Why am I surprised that he knows Melfina's name? You know, I wasn't really all that big on Melfina's voice when I first saw this clip on Toonami Pre-Flight. LAAAAAAME. So much for the power of friendship. That shot of nervous Gene is pretty effing kino. I can't help but wonder if he lost purely by accident or completely on purpose. Gene's luck stats are maxed out. And then Aisha was white, how disappointing. Looks like Shimi's alive, but at least now he can quit the Anten Seven in peace. COWBOY BEBOP - I find it interesting that they're keeping the old rating for this episode, of all episodes. Bebop really does the original music box melodies well. Man, what does this night's block have against scorpions? I wonder who the first one was. Getting up after getting shot is hard work. Glasses guy has had a rough day. "He's one of those kinda guys, huh?" Only now do I get that. Is this Steve Conte singing this insert? [checks the Bebop wiki] That it is. Meanwhile, Ed's waiting for everybody else as patiently as she can. Damn that Vicious, always playing dirty. I had a gut feeling Julia was the "first one". Vicious should participate in these space cruiser battles more often. Huh, so the box still works after all. AND HE SET IT UP THE BOMB THAT MADMAN. Oh yeah, this is the only time Spike and Gren actually interacted face-to-face. The difference in the color of Spike's eyes is very subtle, but it's there. So what gender is that kid who was hanging out with Sitting Bull anyways? Hell, why's that kid even hanging out with him to begin with? Good, they left in "Do you have a comrade?". "You shot Dad!" Yeah, with a paintball gun. Besides, he's Christopher Walken, he's been through worse. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2ND GIG - I knew there was something familiar about the odd way the Major and Prime Minister Kayabuki were drawn in certain scenes this episode, and that's because this episode's animation director was the character designer for MOUSE. You know, that anime about the master thief whose assistants are also his obedient sex slaves? Surely one of you bought it as an instrument of torture over the past ten years I've known you all... Goda was a real scoundrel this episode, but him freaking out during the helicopter jump was rather amusing. Damn straight the Major's scary, she was called "Queen Kong" during the last World War for a reason. I swear, it's like I'm watching a completely different show, now that I'm 23 and actually paying close attention.

Jojo may have soiled the sheets, but Black Clover diarrhea'd the whole damn mattress.

Like I said. Assuming a final product is made, it's going to be exclusive to a streaming service only half of America can afford to get.

Kuroko's Basketball 1

It's about time we got another page-turnover... DRAGONBALL SUPER - I know the feel of a strained muscle, I actually had one of those two weeks ago. Pan is so kawaii. Huh, I never knew they had tumbleweeds in space. This guy looks like he might be from Sorbet's race. (ACCIDENTAL BULLHORN.) This scene feels like it came right out of an '80s porno. Monaka helping out with an experiment? Bulma laying on her back and beckoning him over? Yep, this definitely feels like an '80s porno about to happen. EXCALIBURRRRRRRR. That inflatable plushie looks like fun. You gotta love space radio. Ah, they're half-Saiyan, they'll be fine. WE GET IT, THEY'RE FROM SPACE. I just can't picture Monaka as being fat. Although... I heard that "That STAND of his looks pretty strong," shows how far in the gutter my mind is right now. THE PACIFIER OF POWER. One does not simply drink the Superhuman Water. Is this game review hinting that they're gonna air Food Wars? I really kinda hoping it is. Still the only one on this board who even remotely likes Jaco. If that's the guy you're looking for, all the more reason to visit planet Pot-au-feu! Forget the mustache, the poo he's holding is even more of an issue. MATERNAL SCREECH. Oh hey, Goku's house got fixed, and it's less annoyingly bright than before. Of course Chi-Chi would blame Goku for this. And here's the obligatory Goku scene. And then they all became jelly. And then Vegeta got absorbed into the jelly. By the way, yes, that's Vegeta's Ocean Group voice actor as Jelly Vegeta. Seriously, Brian Drummond is the best possible thing FUNimation could have done to make Jelly Vegeta seem less stupid than he already is. DRAGONBALL Z KAI - Oh goddammit Chi-Chi, as if blaming Goku for Goten's disappearance wasn't the worst thing you've done this week. If TFS ever defies Toei's C&Ds and reaches the Buu Saga, I can only imagine how they'll deal with Mr. Popo in all these scenes. Well, so much for actually going down to Earth to kill the rest of humanity. Huh, apparently Mr. Satan's immune to those death rays. NOT EVEN THE CHILDREN ARE SAFE. I never knew Piccolo had the power to summon giant eggtimers. That's cold, Super Buu. Supreme Kai's over there worrying about humanity's almost-extinction, while Gohan's just pissed that the Elder Kai's really enjoying that comic book. GOHAN'S GONE MAD! "It's like those two are in their own little world." Goddammit Chi-Chi what are you up to now? Getting yourself killed, apparently. "My mom's gone..." And we wish she stayed that way, considering how mostly terrible she is in Super. So what does the black kid being accused of cheating have to do with realizing his parents are black like him? Trunks can't be doin' with this Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Reminder that Piccolo knows everything. Welp, so much for being patient. AND KRILLIN GETS PWNED YET AGAIN. So much for complete and total defiance, too. And Top_Gun says the show isn't aware that it can use the Dragon Balls to fix everything negative. Roshi's got an hour, and he's using it. You telling me you've got a problem with the scenic route? And Gohan is still annoyed by Elder Kai's obvious laughter. AUTOMOBILES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY YOU STUPID COMMERCIAL. BLACK CLOVER - Huh, so it looks like we're starting with a narrator's account of the first Wizard King's rise to power. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: "It's been two episodes and we're already in filler how the fuck is that even possible." Pierrot, uh, finds a way. I like that Asta's still putting effort into his physical training, even after learning he was special enough to get the Devil's Grimoire. It's always the 1001st strike that shows the first sign of damage. Dammit priest, quit repeating your words and put a little faith in Asta, why don't you. The irony is, she'll miss Asta's multiple failed marriage proposals most of all. This rivalrous friendship makes more sense than Naruto vs. Sasuke, I'll consider that a point in the show's favor. Firewood for days years. Even in his sleep, he's babbling on about becoming the Wizard King. So do they wanna fuck, or don't they? It's hard to tell with these Star Wars nerds. Say what you want about the show's quality, the background staff did a good job making Asta's training grounds look surprisingly comfy for the inside of a giant demon skull. This kid's in the wrong anime and Asta knows it. "I might not have any magic, but I'm strong enough to wield this big-ass sword, and isn't that what really matters!?" Fuck you, priest. (Huh, never thought I'd hear myself saying those words.) You know you're in filler when the overreactions are brought up to 11. This menu sounds extremely varied and yet not varied at all. "And, of course, pot potatoes and beef, minus the beef." This small child is so tsundere for Asta. Like that, it was love at first sight, and without all the tact that normally comes with it. Funny enough, being almost drowned only made him love her even more. Asta's a plucky shounen protagonist, it's not in his nature to be nervous. As the great Joseph Joestar once said, if stupid people can believe in themselves, then you can believe in anything! "Bet you can't catch me!" "Challenge accepted." And then they learned the joys of eating pork. Even if he isn't doing as much as Yuno, at least Asta isn't being left out entirely. We tournament arc already? JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS - Have you ever experienced a sun so hot that the sky around it looks darker than it has any right to be? If you think the road to the Royal Capital is treacherous, try taking the road to finding DIO. Good move, it's best not to get involved with the Axis of Evil when you've already got some of the more peaceful countries of central Asia on your ass. Polnareff, you flirt. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: "How does Polnareff's hair even work?" Johnson's Water Seal. [clang clang] RIDIN' IN STYLE. What's a "cessna"? Some type of fancy off-road vehicle? Oh, a cessna is a type of plane. That's... not exactly concerting. Thank god for the existence of camels. Joseph is the coolest anime grandpa. He learned how to ride camels from the movies. If you know so much about Lawrence of Arabia, then do you know that the real Lawrence of Arabia paid men to beat the shit out of him for personal gratification? THE MORE YOU KNOW~. I'd honestly have lost it if the camel stood back up while Joseph was celebrating his success in making it sit. Tell me some of these stupid camel jokes, do they involve cigarettes in any way? CAMELS, HO! If you're worried about the heat so bad, did you know that deserts get super-cold at night? Oh good, he got his Tag Hauer back from Steely Dan. Welcome to the heat death of the universe, boys. Even with the hot new duo of the Rock and Kevin Hart backing it up, Jumanji just won't be the same without Robin Williams. Funny enough, the sand and rocks are exactly the color of Rotisserie chickens. Huh, looks like Emerald Splash can't solve all your problems. NOOOOOO CAMEL. SHIT COUNT: 1. And what an appropriate time to let an s-bomb drop, too. It's like every STAND user they come across is more powerful than the last, even if it's just compensation. We Off the Air now. LAUGHING JOJOS. Turns out they were laughing at finally figuring out where they're up against. And like that, the STAND user was defeated without any major fanfare. [rimjobshot] Mel Gibson, you a busta. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS - BTW, they cut last week's post-credits sequence, all it really did was show that Takaki managed to find a stable job after ditching Tekkadan. Poor Hush wants to be useful and keeps getting shot down, just like Asta. Of everyone who died on Dort, Fumitan is still the greatest loss. That OP cut is still the best in Toonami's history. I keep forgetting about most of these Brewer kids. Hmm, didn't even know Barbatos was some Satanic buzzword. Yeah, Barbatos Lupus is kind of a pointless name, if it's still Barbatos. You're one of the biggest crime bosses in space, and you haven't heard of McGillis before now? For shame... Screw you, butt-chin man. The man in the yellow hat became a real jerk after Curious George died. It isn't, it's for fetish reasons too. REVEEEEEEEEEENGE! I still wanna know who voices Kudelia's black secretary. Mika is really growing into his role as the easily annoyed mentor. TWIST OF THE WEEK: Merribit's gettin' dat BBC. Hey, what's the problem with bean stew? I totally feel for Chad, being the last to know something everybody else did. Funny enough, I don't really care about what bureaucratic stuff Orga's got himself wrapped up in. Screw you, Nobliss. Good ol' chess symbolism. GOLE VIDAR HAS ARRIVED. Ah, he'll always be "that dude who coincidentally sounds like Gaelio Bauduin" to me. For a real deal battle, this feels an awful lot like a mock war. Friendly reminder that McGillis is a dirty lolicon. The moment he gets thrown in jail, I call dibs on his sweet-ass house. HUNTER x HUNTER - I HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH TO THE WIZARD KING. If I was rich enough to afford the property taxes on McGillis's house, I'd keep one of those unicorn tigers as an exotic pet. REPLY TO ANGEL 3: "These ants were once adorable little girls who got fused with their pets." A dark FMA joke. Gutsy. Dear god, the furries have started to take on human form! Spin is best girl, now that Shizuku is offscreen for the next several episodes. Wait, so these guys aren't even Hunters? Afro Dinner guy is annoying. Funny how they allow the dog's asshole here but not on Samurai Jack. Seriously, he gets on my nerves more than Asta. In case you forgot, that's the auction in Yorknew that Gon and Killua attended an arc or two ago. This Asian kid and brown loli are sure to be offensive to somebody watching this. Shut up, Stick Dinner. He got kidnapped by the Phantom Troupe twice and lived, that's as pro as it gets. I don't get what's so great about Destiny, let alone Destiny 2. That's probably because I don't play video games. It hasn't rained in months, you say? I blame STANDs. Fag O Genesis? Well this car ride sure got tense. I have a feeling something bad's going to happen to these small children. Yeahhhh they and their mother are totally doomed. If you want the best food possible, go to the nearest convenience store and buy some instant ramen. I'd be careful saying things like that, you know how people on the Internet tend to react when you actually go through with marrying your brother. OHHHHHH SNAP. Welp, so much for those small children. Meanwhile, those small children look like they should've been eaten instead. Gon the dog-boy. I just finished watching the 2002 HxH OVA yesterday, so it's not like it's been forever since I've been back to Yorknew. I'm surprised he can drive with his eyes closed. This ant's voice sounds awfully familiar. CAWWWWWWWWWWW. Oh, that ant's voice is Genos. You know the deal, Lupin through GITS thoughts come tomorrow.

Two thousand berries says it's Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime exclusive.

Rewatched Tokyo Ghoul 3 and Tokyo Ghoul Root A 7

More like GoddessAngel, amirite?

Hunter x Hunter OVA 7-8

I've never seen Sign beyond coming across it once or twice while weekend channel-surfing, but I watched over half of Legend of the Twilight Bracelet while waiting for Yu Yu Hakusho on early Saturday mornings, and 14 episodes of Roots my sister got the DVDs for. I might give .hack a shot in the future, but not anytime soon. (BTW, Edge > Obsession > New World = Silly-Go-Round.) As for SAO, it's a good thing I don't play or even care about MMORPGs, so I can't really complain about what they're doing wrong while watching it like all you other "experts".

Akame's writing brought the phrase "Trump Card" to levels so memetic that I can't help but laugh any time it's mentioned in any other series, and that's enough for me to give it a free pass.

Bleach: Fade to Black

Hunter x Hunter OVA 5-6

And as they say, Esdeath is Besdeath.

Tonight on Toonami, Goten and Trunks get into hijinks after stowing away on Monaka's delivery truck, these are apparently the same kids who are mankind's only hope against Super Buu and his Human Extinction Attack, with their greater-than-everyone-else's grimoires in hand Asta and Yuno begin training for the Chunin Magic Knights Exam, the Stardust Crusaders travel across the Arabian Peninsula where the sun shines even at night (wait, what?), as expected Teiwaz has obvious issue with Tekkadan's aim to become the supreme rulers of Mars, Gon and Killua join Kite as he resumes his job of hunting down these "Chimera Ants", Rebecca reflects on the day she and Lupin first met, bash my head in with a brick 'cause it's a friggin' Tenten filler episode, Gene's recent adventures convince the heretofore-unseen group of shady villains that he needs to die, Gren shares his troubled history with Faye in the concluding chapter of the Jupiter Jazz saga, and Section 9 is tasked with keeping a shipment of plutonium out of the hands of refugee terrorists, some of whom may or may not be Libyan. 10:30 - Dragonball Super #44 - The Seal of Planet Pot-au-feu: Secrets of the Unleashed Superhuman Water! - TV-PGLV 11:00 - Dragonball Z Kai #143 - Headlong Rush Into Catastrophe!
