No, if anything, Free! is Kuroko's Basketball but with swimming instead. [chronology matters]

Ah, Negima. I remember my sister who now refuses to acknowledge anime's existence getting all the DVDs as gifts for various holidays and watching them whenever I got the chance. She mispronounced it "Nejima" all the time.

[hands you a bottle of meds]

At least Oda had the sense to make the cosplayer he married his first wife.

We switch back and forth.

I could, but if I did that, then what would I complain about?

Three days after airing and Spectrum On Demand still doesn't have this week's Lupin up. [sigh] Thank god for alternative options... LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE It's probably the fact that I'm watching it online and not on a TV, but this episode seems more fast-paced than normal. I wouldn't be surprised Goemon doesn't know him, he spends most of his time meditating or something. Damn, this Greco guy thought ahead. Were those rolls supposed to resemble breasts on purpose? Twenty bucks says he has a Millennium Rod. Fuck the Italian soundtrack haters, they don't know good retro easy listening when they hear it. This seems too easy. TOO EASY INDEED. By the way, he learned that trick from watching Excel Saga. Like I said, Greco plans ahead. (Bullhorn.) Greco's a real jerk. Huh, I never thought of Jigen and Fujiko as being rivals. Yes, Fujiko, play the tsundere card and blame the main character for everything. It's like a certain something synched up between all three of them. HAMMER. "Lupin has a 0% chance of survival." Tell that to Nyx, his calculations are never wrong, unlike yours. Uhh... did she just die? ohno He didn't hear any gunshot because she was clearly stabbed (supposedly). Zantetsuken? That's the first time I'm hearing that name. Poor Lupin's the only one here who wants peace. "We will now begin our second act immediately." Made even funnier by the fact that the commercials were cut from this stream. Oh shit I did not expect Lupin to go down next, I swore he'd be the last man standing. Shows what I know. |:: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ESPRESSO. And then they recreated their fight scene from the finale of Fujiko's anime, only without the owl heads and out-of-context crossdressing. applause That was an amazing fight, shame it ended in a double-KO. Lupin being the marionette seemed so obvious that it couldn't possibly have been the answer, and that's what makes a good twist. Finally they acknowledged his monkey face. Wow, this sure got dark in a hurry. OR MAYBE NOT. ;D I had a feeling he was faking it. Of course Fujiko's cleavage saved her from what would've been a fatal blow. FUCKIN'. BRILLIANT. When they said this was one of the best episodes of the series, they were not kidding. They're swimmin' in euros! It's a buttload of cash, so why not just split it four ways?

Teleporters. [fuck yeah]

This is why I hate about half of the things you post. When they aren't redundant, they're just straight-up mind-boggling.

Your Lie in April 9

1. The question Elfie asked on the old boards was what show Toonami could air that had action, a dub, was animated by GAINAX, and wasn't Panty & Stocking. I suggested Medaka Box, the only one I could think of at the time. Elfie protested just because he didn't like it. If the boards weren't so uptight, I would have angrily told him off. Sure, it might not have exactly worked, but it was dubbed, it was GAINAX, it had action... What was I supposed to answer, Gurren Lagann? I had no idea that was within the realm of possibility yet! 2. Partly personal reasons, partly to see if I pay more attention watching it on my own than I did during its brief run at the end of SyFy's anime block's lifespan.

I'll say what I should have said when you shot down my suggestion for Medaka Box (minus the whole "it fitting your criteria" thing): just because you personally don't want it anywhere near the block, that doesn't mean nobody wants it on the block either. Also, I'll only watch Yamato 2199 once I finish the original Star Blazers, which will definitely be someday.

Impossible, FUNimation's already simuldubbing it. If it's gonna come to Netflix, then it'll be just a featured series, like Mushi-shi or Gunslinger Girl.

Welp, Lupin’s not On Demand yet, guess I’m gonna have to wait a little longer for that one. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN And now for a surprisingly plot-relevant meeting. Yes, we all would have preferred Jiraiya to be Hokage over Tsunade. Danzo’s gonna make the Leaf Village great again. And so the NaruSaku shipping resumes. Oh how times have changed and characters have developed. Please use your indoor voice, Sarutobi, all of them can hear you just fine. Remember when Asuma was alive and Kurenai was relevant? Ooh, a promoted pawn; one of the few shogi-related things I’ve picked up from watching March Comes in Like a Lion early this year. Hmm, so they call it Japanese chess now. I love how they managed to reference that expired milk punchline without forcing any extra comedy out of it. CEILING KAKASHI IS WATCHING YOU GOOF OFF DURING CLASS. I feel like the events of this flashback are more than a little out of order. Even so, the infamous kiss that made SasuNaru even more of a thing than it could’ve been is still quite the moment. The funny thing is the Kyuubi actually did go wild on the first mission, albeit at the small scale. So I take it the whole “best student and worst student on the same team” thing was just an alternative suggestion fed to Iruka? I feel like episode 3 did things better. Sakura’s only on the team because she happened to be sitting between them. Shikamaru finds this odd outburst of laughter awfully disturbing. “I put a hold on re-reading my book for this?” For an Uchiha, Obito was a pretty cool guy. Someone tied up on the floor while another person in an OTN mask stands behind them? If the genders were swapped, this would actually be hot. THIS IS A SHOW ABOUT NINJAS, APPARENTLY. Oh Sakura, shit-talk like that is the reason why people hate you, even now. “Shut the hell up, you fussbag.” It’s like Sasuke can’t think of anything to call Naruto but “loser”. I feel things are about to get super-awkward real fast. Or maybe it’s just yet another anime misunderstanding (even though the misunderstanding’s somewhat close to the truth). Huh, didn’t expect that. Akame ga KILL! ruined the phrase “trump card” for all of us. This only confirms that Sasuke is an asexual being. I’ll admit, I’d be hurting there if that happened too. Oh how times have changed and characters have developed. New ED next week, for those curious. OUTLAW STAR We Redline now? Check it out, new OP image showing off all three of the girls. :-D I gotta agree with them, Heifong looks like a happenin’ place. Gene’s flirtation missed the mark, and he apparently doesn’t care. Aaaaand there go his chances of getting more than some. So Fred’s company HQ is located there, huh? Was that mentioned previously, or did I just forget it? That’s a nice-looking outfit, I’d love to see Melfina wear that. (Even though Fred might have been intending for Gene to wear it…) That was an awfully quick topic change. I love these bright ‘90s colors in the backgrounds. Aww, this is both adorable and kinda sad. YESSSSS AISHA. I feel like I’ve heard this conversation before. Poor, poor Aisha. Poor Gilliam too (get it?), he’s really outta the loop. Don’t sound so angrily doubtful, Jim. Aisha’s voice shouldn’t have my approval, but it does, there’s something about the scratchiness that’s all so fitting. Oh yeah, he doesn’t know the MacDougalls’ first names, now does he? Calm your tits, Gene. Suzuka might not care about racing, but when you gotta bet on someone, you gotta bet. If anything looks familiar, it’s that one old dude. 14 hours already? Gene, you crazy sumbitch. Gee, that’s helpful. S: COWBOY BEBOP That cat is an obvious Tom knock-off, but at least the mouse looks different enough from Jerry to avoid making it a total rip-off. I love Spike’s sleeping blindfold. Check it, an actually successful bounty collection. It’s all a bunch of gibberish beyond the names and heights. At this point, I’m not sure if this guy is fun or annoying. Perhaps both? And so Ein finally got his dog food. YOU GOTTA MOVE LIKE WATER. Somehow Spike always finds himself caught up in the most interesting/dangerous of bounties. Somehow I completely forgot that Rocco’s sister lived on a wrecked ship. What a poor time to have your dick hanging out. She’s surprisingly understanding for a blind woman. The art setting in this show is nothing short of breathtaking. Rule #1: don’t fuck with Faye. Such self-awareness, this show has. To whoever brought it up: their lower halves are covered by that blanket, there’s no way to tell if there was anal sex going on under there or not! I wouldn’t underestimate Spike’s abilities if I were you, buddy. He was so impressed with his own ability, that it wound up being what killed him. So I take it that’s why they call it Grey Ash. Dang, this ending hurts more than I remember. About 50% of the people who call this show overrated have no idea what they’re talking about. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2ND GIG Okay, now I’m convinced they brought this show back in reruns for political relevance. Doesn’t stop it from being any less invigorating, though. Gino is a more true-to-life self-insert than 99.9% of harem protagonists, and the way in which I mean that is up to you. MORE WORDS FROM OUR SPONSORS Clearly squids have the bigger dicks, they’ve got two of them. Forget the Old Spice sprays looting Morty’s room, is that a GIGANTOR figure on his shelf? I patiently await the Bob’s Burgers episode where Jimmy Pesto gets seriously injured or dies. Maybe this commercial was the whole reason The Jellies is a thing? I’m getting pretty fucking sick of this “cigarettes make you their slave” ad bullshit. >( I feel like these commercials are getting lengthier the further I go into the night. Seeing this FlexTape ad in Standard Def on an HDTV makes me feel that it’s all a sham.

Cynicism is unbecoming yet very fitting for you, Jingai-kun.

I’m splitting the comments this week. DB Super through Hunter today, Lupin through GITS tomorrow. COUNTDOWN Sweet, new font. Fuck yeah, HD letterboxing. ;D Kuroneko, you say? Holy shit those are kids’ drawings this really takes me back to when I was 5. Such speechlessness. Because Cartoon Network loves its classic stock footage. Well, that escalated quickly. He’s been gone for 60 years, and wherever he went, he’s their king now. ZA WARUDO. Pretty low, TOM. Pretty low. Next week, the CLYDEs are pissed about their sudden redesign. DRAGONBALL SUPER You’d think they’d shorten the OP to accommodate Countdown, but I guess not. [fighting noises] The thing about DBZ fights is, it’s more about the moment itself than the stakes surrounding. I feel like that portrait of Champa is mocking me. STOMACH PUNCH. Vegeta is infinitely jealous right now. YOU PISSED ME OFF. I literally started acapella-singing Jotaro’s theme from Stardust Crusaders the moment he started powering up. “Guess you’re the sort of guy who yells when he powers up too.” I love this self-awareness. He screamed because he was really pissed off. Only Piccolo knows what really went down in that fraction of a second before the obvious. Noisy transformations. Tell me what you mean by this “technique”. ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA! Rule #1 of DBZ: Never underestimate Goku. “Surely he hasn’t discovered a transformation beyond Super Saiyan Blue. But if not that… what could he be trying to do?” BULLHORN. More like he’s sounding more like Vegeta. Shin’s still pissed that he’s not as strong as the protagonists. Kaio-what? Wanna see me run behind you? … Wanna see me do it again? Remember that time Vegeta dropped a 50+ second F-bomb? Infinitely. Jealous. FUCK YEAH OPENING THEME. When all else fails, use the Kamehameha. I can see the universe inside his mouth! For the longest time, I thought Puss in Boots’ hat was some sort of misshapen apple. DRAGONBALL Z KAI Nothing’s more terrifying than a fat kid with unlimited power. Ooh, intensely suggestive dialogue! SETSUMEISHIO. And that man’s name was Beerus the Destroyer. Please don’t punch the senior citizen Goku. Or that, don’t do that either. Oh Goku, you’re incorrigible. The fate of the whole universe lies in Bulma’s tits! THE LIMITS AND BEYOND. Even Elder Kai is disappointed in Shin and his weaksauciness. Apparently he’s doing some type of tribal dance. PADDING PADDING PADDING! Goku just don’t give a fuck. Sometimes I forget how giant Ox King is. Wait, why are Goten and Trunks on those playing cards? Chi-Chi asking the real questions here. They both look like they’re about to take a dump, but that’s how all DBZ characters look when they power up. Again, Piccolo knowing what’s about to happen before everyone else processes what does. Oh shit, it’s Creosote Jr.! That’s cold, Chi-Chi. Huh, I thought it was ‘cause Trunks said “sion” later than he should have. Oh yeah, Goku never explained how to de-fuse at will, did he? And now they’re a cancer patient. Ah, there’s the Gotenks we know and love. 18’s thinking, “Eh, it’s nothin’ special.” I believe this is the beginning of Trunks’ edgy phase. You have way too much faith, Yamcha. “…I’m just gonna go back to sleep.” JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS Oh no, it’s Truck-san! Huh, so Joseph didn’t completely hate India at the start. Wait, didn’t they already bury Avdol offscreen? This car was animated by Studio Khara. And so the token loli returns (may God have mercy on us all). This car sure loves tailgating. TRUCK-SAAAAAAAN! Now that was exciting! “We would’ve been crushed beneath that like a Japanese schoolgirl!” Because DIO’s henchmen are short-sighted like that. What happens with Truck-san, stays with Truck-san. Tea break! I, too, am interested in those weird marks on the wall. What a waste of good sugarcane juice. Poor Kakyoin’s surrounded by short-tempered delinquents. At least he had the excuse of being under the control of DIO’s flesh-bud when he was acting all delinquent-y. We’ve got one clue, at least; he takes steroids like it’s nobody’s deal. Polnareff, you dumbass. ;D I fucking love this show and if you don’t agree, then we can’t be friends. We never got an explanation for those weird markings, now did we? Speaking of weird markings, check out those tire tracks on the side of the rock formations. Told y’all that car was a STAND! ELLO, GOV’NOR! “He’s acting like some stupid musclehead who got cut off in traffic and flew into a fit of road rage!” Takes one to know one, eh, Polnareff? ::]:: JoJo fangirls really do come in all sizes, don’t they? WHEEL! OF! TORTURE! Gasoline bullets? This show is insane. The Wheel of Fortune has found that the only way to defeat a STAND user… is to burn it. I bet you anything that guy’s just a disembodied arm. Stop drop and roll, Jotaro! Or maybe he didn’t need to. ;D Oh hey, he actually does have a body. This dude skipped leg day something fierce. Oh, so he’s what they were all laughing at. You think anyone’s gonna understand what that sign says? Meanwhile, Enya’s still mourning. Does Hol Horse really count as a defeat? I mean, he ran away like a little bitch, so maybe it counts? “I’d curse Avdol, but he’s dead so what’s the point!?” See, told you Khara animated that car. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS (may God have mercy on us all) “Please stand down!” “NO YOU!” Is it wrong for me to say that I had more fun commenting on Root A than I am on these fights right now? “He’s more likely to hit me if I dodge.” And that’s why Gohan doesn’t. Of course sparing the enemy would be difficult for Mika. I don’t trust this guy and his fuzzy yellow coat. On goes the pimp hat. :* Who is this guy and why should we care about him? Well, that answered my question quickly. Don’t be so uppity, Blonde Kirito. “Miss Atra” sounds kinda off, even if it is the formal thing to call her. Nobliss’s secretary looks pretty attractive, I’m gonna call her “Brown Fumitan”. Orga’s gonna kick some ass. Threats pulled from the basket of deplorables. These guys are so screwed. He dropped his Mars pods, shit just got real. Goddamn I wanna use Kudelia’s ponytail as a pillow so badly. “You mean you haven’t gone back to visit your mother and father?” “Ah, screw ‘em.” REPLY TO ANGEL: “Do her parents know that the maid they trusted their only child with for years was actually a spy sent to murder her?” If they did, I doubt they reacted negatively to that. I wanna know who voices her black secretary. I think that’s the closest the show’s ever come to pronouncing Tekkadan the way it’s spelled. Oh no, they found a Victory Gundam. Merribit’s here to represent the female fraction of their work force. “Huh, so that’s what you look like.” The boy in the hat is Biscuit, for those who forgot. HUNTER x HUNTER Huh, boxer guy made it into the game too. Guess Machi’s still too busy mourning Pakunoda to bother with the nerdy shit the others have gotten themselves involved in Nevermind she’s here too, just offscreen. Wait, so Abengane’s the Nen exorcist? I… really should have expected that. Hisoka, you erotic bastard. Oh fuck it’s Killua’s creepy little sister. Well, so much for shipping those two together, but that’s not gonna stop Hisoka apparently. I can only imagine what card 0 is. WE DO BATTLE NOW… NOT! Meanwhile, more training. It takes skill to jump good using only your hands. Bisky’s a professional liar, of course she’s allowed to skip levels like that. For some reason my IBO recording caught the first 8 minutes of Hunter after it. Luckily, my Hunter recording picked them up too. Unfortunately, Lupin didn’t show up as its own recording for some reason, so boo on that. But hey, that’s what On Demand is for. Ah, so that’s who that girl working on Bisky’s hair in the ending theme was. Hey, he got a little higher that time. Fuck yeah, hit-and-run tactics. Oh shit he said “Bomber” while touching him that dude is dooooomed. I think I hate this guy more than Sugo now. That guy with the sideburns has a weird voice. I can’t believe it, a giant rock! It’s a rock and it’s giant! This whole chasing thing is ridiculous but damn do I love it. Clearly they chose those two cities because they’re the only ones worth mentioning, especially Lawlharemtown. Poor Gon, he was so absorbed in his training. Sucks for that newbie, I guess. And now we’re back to the real world. Welp, so much for the reward money. Whatever happened to that old man, it had to have been pretty damn important. Fuck you, Genthru, I hope Sugo shanks you in a parking lot somewhere. So we know the deal with the shampoo lady, but what about that framed picture, or Killua’s Jewish yo-yo? A WORD OR TWO FROM OUR SPONSORS Everything tastes better when it’s more liable to give you a heart attack! Huh, I never noticed he was using Kit-Kat packages in place of cassettes. Anyone who pays more attention to their phone than a movie or TV show or even their loved ones should never be allowed to use one again, unless it’s a direct line. How do you know stress sweat smells that much worse than regular sweat? This promo soundtrack is positively lit. Holy crap, Jerome from Gotham’s in that show! You are now reading my comments in Master Shake’s voice. That’s what it does! Does it really matter what burger tastes better, as long as both taste delicious? These Hot Pocket commercials are so annoying. How can a black human kid not have any idea that his jellyfish parents aren’t his real parents? ??? [and his name is john cena]

Who are you and why are you posting so much? shithead

Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor #6 The Evil Being

Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor 6

No shit they weren't great, last year's TIE while exciting was far from worthy of the Intruder name.

If they did, they'd be reporting on it too.

The way you placed the first pic, it's like all the characters are checking out your icon's ass. Did you do that on purpose, or was it just a happy accident?

With the original anime's OP?

Eh, I'd thank the both of them. If not for Kars slicing off Joseph's hand, Von Stroheim wouldn't have had any reason to give him the prosthetic replacement. IIRC, he created the worm creature for the sole purpose of counteracting Genthru's Nen, so I'd imagine it would only disappear when Genthru dies. Agreed, Rise is as god tier an OP as it gets. Back when Inuyasha, FMA 2003 and Eureka seveN were the only anime I was actively watching on the Saturday block, I used to watch just the OP for 2nd Gig and between Rise and the intro bump before it, it was a wonderful little moment I took advantage of as much as I could. Tonight on Toonami, Goku's attempts to keep up with Hit prove surprisingly struggling, Goten and Trunks finally get the Fusion pose down, turns out they make STANDs in car form now, Tekkadan tracks down the guy who sicced the Dawn Horizon Corps on them, Team Tzesguerra faces off with Team Genthru while Gon gets back to training, Lupin's gang is kidnapped an anti-criminal philanthropist who turned one of them into his puppet (but they don't know who), Kakashi flashes back to what he was doing during episode 3 of the original series, Gene enters the Outlaw Star in a space race in the hopes of winning money and gaining intel, Spike teaches Jeet Kune Do to a guy on the run from the Venusian mafia, and a corporate helicopter pilot plots revenge against his boss and Japanese society as a whole in a strange allegory to Taxi Driver. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #38 - The 6th Universe's Mightest Warrior!
