You saying I'm not allowed to enjoy Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku and Chozetsu Dynamic equally? :-\

...Why?

I dunno, the picture quality from 153 onward looked pretty HD to me.

Hunter x Hunter 1999 13 Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita. 7

And here's the rest. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN WE INTERRUPT THIS ARC CONCLUSION FOR A TOTAL NOSTALGIA TRIP. Well, at least that tadpole has legs. That’s still an improvement, even if it’s no good. Sweet, we get the original soundtrack back too. “There are no shortcuts in the ninja way!” Tell that to Kishimoto. Huh, so Kakashi’s the narrator this time. Of course Naruto’s odds are low, this was before people started taking him seriously, after all. I personally prefer Choji’s Shippuden voice to the younger model. It ain’t technically dining and dashing if you leave the other person behind. RANDOM KONOHAMARU. It’s a shame he’s got that stupid headpiece on instead of the goggles that I swear he took up this arc. POLE DANCE NO JUTSU. Whatever you do, don’t look at that Gaara kid the wrong way. I heard he killed someone for doing that. I honestly can’t tell if he’s bullshitting or not. Is it wrong that I feel that the faceplant was a little much? Eh, at least his asking Iruka went better. I’m still mad that Anko’s undershirt is chainmail and not fishnets. Little did she know that Naruto was inadvertently trying to help her avoid the inevitable. Gai-sensei is the greatest. “My belly’s full but my wallet’s empty.” Ironic, isn’t it? Hey, is that a magazine with the Fourth’s picture on it in his back pocket. Okay, so the Third was bullshitting. Turns out the pamphlet is a treasure map. It’s natural for Gai-sensei to scare people. I bet you anything the Fourth Hokage’s legacy is the ability to uppercut people from underground. INTREDASTING. Oh goddammit Sakura. So Shikamaru’s getting involved, this should make things more tolerable. OH GODDAMMIT SAKURA. Oh hey, it’s villagers from the House of Pain. “Wow, this is sad and painful to watch.” Which is what Angel would say if she actually watched this. Part of me feels that “Time to take ‘em all down” isn’t as cool a one-liner as this show thinks it is. This dub is truly summoning the spirit they put into the first series a little too well. All that’s missing is a random “Believe it!”. Even before I saw the eyebrows I knew that weird old dude was Gai. Okay, so we have stupider-than-normal Naruto this time. More difficult than S-Rank? So it’s… SS-Rank? FREEZE FRAME. Why do NaruSaku shippers think their pairing’s a good idea, again? A giant bridge made of spiderwebs? That’s… fairly suspicious in and of itself. Funny how they get stuck at the most inopportune time. [LOUD ZOMBIE SPIDERMONKEY NOISES] Apparently it’s a spider that can sense weapons. Now I’m getting Naruto video game flashbacks. He kicked that giant spider’s ass good! Yeah, those are some pretty vague hints. And just like OG Naruto filler, the theme songs are the best part. OUTLAW STAR FUCK YEAH TOONAMI PILLARBOXING. Boo personally inaccurate TV rating, though. I assume this whole opening thing is a flash-forward. Anime really seems to like that for some reason… Eh, if one thing can be said, it’s that this opening theme is totally awesome. Space… Huh, so we get the Japanese title cards instead of the ones Bandai made for the English dub. Interesting way of going about that. Once again, too absorbed in the action to bother quipping. “Damn that whore-us!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lip stud on a guy before. Go fish, motherfucker. I assume he thought his name was “Deaf Rob”. And this isn’t even moderate violence? Damn, what’s S&P been smoking? Nothin’ like a celebratory ass-grope. The damage didn’t look that bad, so it shouldn’t cost all that much. Gene’s gonna get himself laid. Oh shut up, kid. Hey, it’s those three guys from the start of the episode. MEANWHILE, AT THE WHOREHOUSE… Huh, so he’s not even wearing any boxers. And then sex happened. :fap: I certainly don’t remember that alley shot from either of my previous watches. Back at 5? More sex than I expected, apparently. Huh, so that bread wasn’t toasted after all. Fixing everything from tractors to relationships. I still don’t understand the symbolism of the red desk. This is a pretty cool info block. “3SIZE: DYNAMITE” Maybe she’s just a mechanical engineer for a company that has underworld enemies. I always found custom scene transitions to be kind of gimmicky. >_> I’d say something here, but I’d rather not sound sexist. CHEERS. Oh shit, masked assassins! Dodges and headbutts. I like his fighting style. So that thing’s considered “classic”, huh? I hate human roadblocks. “Playtime is done now.” Don’t you mean, “Playtime is over.”? Rule of threes. Shame Jim had to be the one to apply it. PAGUA SANPHA PAGUA SANPHA. I’ve seen realistic masks in cartoons before, but none that visually compensated for one’s partial lack of eyesight. Oh hey, action, no time for talk now. HERE COMES THE BIG GUN. “Your job’s done, but you know too much.” [bang] That PDA blocked the shot. And there’s the payoff for the three naked males you didn’t want to see tonight. :fap: I have no idea who the girls in these ending illustrations are even supposed to be. Okay so maybe Outlaw Star wasn’t as great as advertised, but I’m still gonna watch it to the end because that’s how I roll. 8)

You really should listen to him. Not all IBers are alike, y'know.

Sorta, but at least the fart in Naruto wasn't the finishing move.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of those girls actually from Qwaser?

The breast grope was okay. The giant fart cloud... not so much. |::

Akame ga KILL! had enough Trump Cards for our lifetime, apparently.

Yeah, but even Dragonball's definiton of pure is questionable, considering Vegeta reached Super Saiyan partly because his heart is, as he puts it, "pure evil". [more like pure unadulterated ego]

No, I mean "stretched vertically". As in, the characters look thinner than they should.

16:9 show on 4:3 TV with letterboxing > 4:3 show on 4:3 TV > 16:9 show on 16:9 TV > 4:3 show on 16:9 TV with pillarboxing >> 4:3 show on 16:9 TV, stretched horizontally >>>>>> shit >>>>>> 16:9 show on 4:3 TV, stretched vertically

I'd imagine it was just Goku rushing from wherever he was training to be there in time for the birth, only to miss it by a minute or so. This was before he became primarily focused on fighting, after all.

Oh look, a discussion thread full of complaints that could easily be responded to but aren't because of mutual hatebonerage. Let's do this. Clearly it's Kaneki having a nightmare/flashback, and clearly it's because he's been eating ghouls instead of humans. Clearly. He's been haunted by her since he first became a Ghoul, that's reason enough for her to pop up in his nightmare. And that's supposed to be a bad thing? Pierrot truly has this down to an art form. Eh, he's up there at the very least. Ah, nothing calms the nerves like responding to people too angry at a show to make proper sense of it like a sane person.

Your Lie in April 4

Poor Misaka's the only straight girl in her group of friends...

The correct term is "pillarboxing".

It's porridge made with rice, obviously. |:: On that note, let me share my best riff from my Trunks thread thoughts: RICE PORRIDGE IS NO PLACE FOR A MIGHTY WARRIOR!

I dunno, I felt it was more one minute of action, one minute of WTF, and 22 of YAWWWWWWWWN.

I had a feeling that was the case, but I have to disagree that a Narc Squad member was the perpetrator. That guy actually looked more like Fukami, that Special Investigations guy from the original Laughing Man task force who told Togusa about the Interceptors and later killed Nanao A before Section 9 could get to him. Hell, he was even credited as such. DRAGONBALL SUPER The full version doesn’t update the animation, but the shortened version does. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case like that before Super. Huh, no narration this time? Krillin sure grew his hair back fast. That story-as-told-from-Krillin’s-perspective was hilarious. Oh Vegeta, you so tsundere. There’s the narrator. Instant ramen: the ultimate trump card. Too soon, show. Oh Goku, your and your raging fightboner. And then he became the Space Dandy narrator, but without Ginyu’s voice. Oh goddammit Goku. Mmm… Tacos. Now for flashbacks to scenes in Kai that haven’t happened yet. OBLIGATORY UUB MENTION. By the way, that blue cat thing is Neko Majin, another separate manga character of Toriyama’s. Like Jaco, only fictional in the DBZ-verse. I bet it’s one wish per Dragonball. What a waste of good OJ. Maybe Mr. Satan can wish for powers worthy of his reputation. Poor Noob-Noob didn’t get more than two scenes last episode, let alone an invitation to the end-of-episode dance party. He truly deserved that Vindicator position. Random purring. “Itadakimasu, or whatever.” Oh great, more recap. Maybe when he saw the Super Saiyan God, he didn’t realize there was an extra Super Saiyan in there. IT IS AN HONOR FOR YOU TO MEET ME. It’s good that Beerus evolved from his previous character. Oh great, the kids are here. It might as well be a space picnic, what with the concession stands on-site. Depressed Trunks. Oh hey, Piccolo finally remembered his arm-stretching powers. I understand your worry, Gohan, but goddamn you a bitch. Always rely on Piccolo. Piccolo works best in wastelands. The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is probably the best place to hide from Chi-Chi, unless you’re in Gohan’s abridged dream world. I can only imagine what this Monaka character looks like. TOP BILLING: Goku, with the narrator as #2. No matter what that one Beerus doujin might tell you, Vegeta is super anti-NTR. DRAGONBALL Z KAI This episode will have… sexy results~. And Gohan is still dead, at the insistence of people too stupid to check his pulse. Oh hey, Yamcha fixed their flying machine. But what if some of those spectators already came back to life after the Cell incident. LITTLE GREEN! Why ask for the Supreme Kai’s help, anyways? He’s useless, considering he can’t even beat Buu like you’d expect out of a Kai! Piccolo’s pupils are awfully big for this episode. Oh shit, he’s gonna wreck that amusement park. FUN FACT: The pendulum ride at Cedar Point is the most “extreme” ride I’ve ever gone on at any amusement park. I’m too much of a pussy for roller coasters. :robot[ Looks like Babidi’s got as little backbone for this amusement as I do. And then a bunch of people died horribly for comedic effect. Oh goddammit Yamcha. > There’s our sexy results: Roshi being even more of a perv than ever. “This is the worst day ever!” Considering your wife just got groped by Roshi a few minutes ago… yeah, I can’t blame your dissertation. SUDDENLY GOKU. White Mage powers, go! Huh, random narrator again. The menu is too difficult? MINUS TWO AND A HALF POINTS! Of course the last Dragonball would be a literal nest egg. Videl’s shirt says “FIGHT”, that’s all the motivation Bulma needs from her. Even the dinosaurs are producing sexy results this week! Well… that sucks. Thanks, Yamcha. YOU CAN FLY, YOU IDI-oh right, the suit. Great, now I wanna know what kind of underwear he’s wearing, no homo. “Protect your face!” I’m sorry, what? ??? Guess getting beaten by Spopovich kinda lessened her fighting ability. THE POWER OF RYONA, EVERYBODY. Hm… Those boxers are more garish than they are “wild”. Yamcha showed his bare ass, Mochi is pleased. You know it’s filler when you have Master Roshi defeating a dragon with old man farts. ohno And now he’s got a migraine. So I take it Ox King, Oolong and Puar were just hiding in the flying machine the whole time? More horrible deaths, but less of a comedic effect. Dammit, don’t you idiots know that checking a pulse is the best way to tell if someone’s dead or not!? >( Besides, Supreme Kai is still alive, you said that much yourself. Well… shit. FUUUUUUUUSIIIIIOOOOOON. That’s actually pretty easy to understand, Krillin. YOU CAN WIN! YOU FEEL GREAT! YOU! CAN! DO THIS! All this “Gohan’s dead” talk is still stupid, considering we don’t even know his fate yet. Hello? Namekian Dragonballs? Anyone? ALL HAIL MR. POPO, THE STRONGEST CHARACTER IN ABRIDGED HISTORY. I have a feeling the Hyperbolic Time Chamber may need using for this fusion strategy. Welp, so much for the Toei 60th Anniversary vanity plate. The chances of Ghosted being good are as high as the chances of FOX canning it during its first season. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE Why hello, random creepy old lady. That hot girl is going to die. Kakyoin can’t sleep with that fly buzzing around… and apparently neither can the rest of the crew. “Look to your right!” And then he did… in the OP. That’s the creepiest insect I’ve ever seen, and I’ve read a list of real life’s creepiest insects before. That mouth-grabbed is very reminiscent of Alien. Dear god, what happened to Avdol’s voice? You sure it dodged it? Didn’t really look like it did. Anyone could be a suspect… apart from the main four, of course. Old man doesn’t give a crap. NEVER MIND NOW HE DOES. JUDO CHOP! I feel like I’ve seen this stance before. That fly STAND sure knows… how to DOOOOOOOOOOODGE! Tower needle? Is that what it’s called? GOOD JOB KAKYOIN. Turns out the old man was the STAND user the whole time. Or maybe he was just that loyal. “Dammit, this always happens when I’m on a plane!” And then Jotaro and Kakyoin used their handsome good looks to distract the flight attendants. Thanks for the warning, creepy STAND-using old guy. Joseph landing the plane? Oh boy, we’re in for a ride now… “Have you ever heard of someone being in a plane crash three times? Let alone surviving each one…” Well, there’s a first for everything. Why take the bowl of watermelon if you aren’t bringing any salt along to flavor it? I’d have gone with the blueberries myself. In short, it was a successful crash landing. Hot cola? And of course Joseph has a problem with that. I like how the show’s aware that the plot would be over by now, were the flight successful. The safest way is any way that doesn’t go through Roanapur. That silver-haired gent over there looks mighty suspicious. Kakyoin sure knows his Hong Kong customs. And now he’s coming over to join them, very suspicious indeed. I understand the fish and clams, but wholly baked frogs? Now that’s just weird. Star-shaped carrots? How aesthetic. Well, two of those guys are seated at the table with you. RICE PORRIDGE IS NO PLACE FOR A MIGHTY WARRIOR! Huh, the fire spells something… [pauses] Oh, it’s a clock! A word of the wise to Jingai: who cares if it’s “soiling the sheets” like you claim, this show is fun and your pessimistic ass won’t stop me from enjoying it. “You make my heart erect?” How did they even get away with that? TOKYO GHOUL ROOT A Meanwhile, in Kaneki’s night terrors… First we see Yamcha’s ass, now we see Kaneki’s. Thank god we’re getting female nudity later tonight… Kaneki’s gonna get raped by these two apparitions. “…I really gotta stop taking heroin.” So that’s what CCG stands for? Who knew Ghouls could be so personable when they aren’t eating flesh? Oh hey, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Nishio’s girlfriend. “Keep your pompadour out of this.” It’s the little things this dub brings that make me prefer them to subs more often than not. Tsukiyama’s wearing pink now, that’s a new color for him. EL DORADOOOOO. Oh, so Kaneki’s power-up is a cannibalism thing. Nothing good comfortable can come from Hinami and Tsukiyama actually interacting with one another. Don’t do it, Hinami, taking up his offer to go to the place where he huffed a hankerchief Kaneki bled on and creamed his pants over it is a terrible idea. Eh, I guess denying his handshake is a start. And then he taught her gratuitous French. He’s using the restroom? That ain’t good… ohno A WILD FUJOSHI APPEARS! Oh no, Hinami wants to join Kaneki’s lawlharem. And apparently Takatsuki’s telling her she needs to become a woman before she can do so. That overalls dress looks rather cute on her. FUCK HE KEPT THE HANKERCHIEF I KNEW HIS GOING TO THE RESTROOM WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA. I don’t know whether to be aroused or disturbed by his hands-off breathplay. :painfap: Even this Chobani commercial isn’t as disturbing as Tsukiyama’s boner. Takatsuki is best girl. Her pen-spinning skills are totally off the hook. ::]:: Well yeah, that’s how Kaneki became one. I assume the same applies to those creepy twins from before. Oh, so are they gonna go to Anteiku now? KANEKI’S BACK, EVERYBODY PANIC. Ah, the days when he had black hair and wasn’t entirely edgy. I just realized Kaneki’s technically older than Touka. MANEUVERABILITY MANEUVER! Hinami knows the OTP when she sees it. Oh man, look at all the CGI background characters. The CGI vehicles, though, I can understand. And so they meet again for the first time in six episodes. Hmm, turns out he moved to Aogiri for their safety. I guess that’s sensible, but still rather foolish. He’s blocking all her attacks. Well, except for that one, and those few. Oh Touka, you so tsundere. Huh, wonder why they muted out her screams there. Man, Anteiku’s been getting a lot of business lately. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “It's always a great idea to eat and drink things given to you by the enemies you're openly trying to kill.” Hey, as long as it tastes good… Likewise, Juzo is best boy. HUNTER x HUNTER Okay, she’s got a shorthand, so we won’t have to confuse her with the fat kid from IBO. So she’s a grandmaster, so to speak. Oh shit, creepy scissors guy at 6:00. “Aim for that alarmingly phallic-looking pillar.” SUDDENLY BITCHSLAP. I was gonna ask why she slapped him, but since it’s all an act… ::]:: Aww, one of her pigtails got cut. Oh god, the way he was positioned, it looked like the scissors were his dick. What the actual fuck. ohno A 57-year old loli. Surprised, aren’t you? YOU GOTTA MOVE LIKE WATER. It’s funny when Killua goes blasting off again. Didn’t your dad outright say in that message that there was no clue to finding him? Well now, that’s an interesting way to start off their training. And now there’s Jerry’s ass. The female nudity later on better be damn good. MATRIX DODGE! Rock smashes scissors, that plan is flawless! …I could’ve taken out that rock with a ghost train. If you can dodge a boulder, you can dodge a ball. Nen potential gets her hot and bothered. That may have sounded silly at first, but it makes sense once you think about it. Hmm, never expected a flashback for the bad guy. So death stares from better off adults trigger him. No wonder he murders people. That’s one week down. And that’s how a notorious criminal decided to reform himself after fighting two small children for a whole week. TRAVEL MONTAGE! Well, so much for staying there. You kids are tempting fate with your expectations. Damn those are some nasty bumps. He’s gonna have brain damage before their training finishes. Any particular reason why “custard”? Decker shooting that alien shouldn’t have been as amusing as it was. LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE We haunted house tonight? And it’s haunted by a ghost loli princess. At least, that’s what it looks like. Ooh, a fictional Michelangelo painting. Now that’s a steal! If that old dude wasn’t already creepy, that purple tint on the sides of his neck would definitely do it. That letter must be pretty damn old, if the one family was murdered over two centuries ago. Now that’s a tragedy if I’ve ever heard one. “There sure are some weirdos out there, y’know?” You don’t know the half of it, Jigen. TOPICALITY! Oh boy, rival thieves! And the matriarch is rather attractive for a fat old broad with a terrible voice. BEHIND YOU! Sick burn, Jigen. Jigen’s eye is visible, that means shit’s gotten spooky! IT’S A G-G-G-GHOST! “There’s something in common with all the ghost sightings that appear in this guidebook. Here, why don’t you take a look?” Damn, Lupin’s Bullhorn game has been strong these past two weeks. Lupin’s got this theory surprisingly down pat. Jigen’s already got a smoking problem, lord knows Lupin doesn’t need him to have a drinking problem on top of that. Huh, that girl who spooked Jigen is a real person after all. Yes, what a waste of wine indeed. But at least some good(?) came out of it. For a second there, I thought he was walking off to get more wine. SECRET TUNNEL~. So the loli princess was the bride of legend. That’s… somewhat creepy in hindsight. Never mind, she’s just the bride’s imouto. Still, cute lolis this show has. SUDDENLY JIGEN IN A KNIGHT SUIT. Oh, so the spooky girl was the ghost all along. Lupin’s way better at spooking than he is at getting spooked. SURPRISE TRAP DOOR. And then they payed homage to Indiana Jones. Thank god he remembered he had his gadget watch on him. Lupin does really well with kids. WHAT A TWIST! When distracting others, act fast once they’ve got their heads turned. The last guy to brag about it instead got his ass electrocuted by a girl three years younger than him. Turns out the treasure was in the bell tower all along. OH FUCK MAMA’S GOT A GATLING GUN. Well this is definitely a cliché-looking trap. And now they’re back where they started. HAHAHAHAHAHA WIPEOUT. That’s a pretty neat-looking stash. As I expected, the loli was a ghost all along. I’m gonna guess Jigen’s excessive drinking also gave him the shits. :poop: Shippuden and Outlaw Star thoughts on Monday. But first… REPLY TO ANGEL 2: “Naruto- Mother fuck, I'm not watching this.” The same I assume applies to Outlaw Star, considering your lack of thoughts for it. ::]::

Good news: according to ANN, this is actually one of the watchable fillers, so it shouldn't be too harrowing. Bad news: then again, that same ANN article listed the Curry of Life as another watchable filler... ohno

Well it's not like you're wrong. Remember season 1, when Speedwagon offered to thaw Zeppeli's frozen arm with his body heat? As heartwarming as that was, it was still very homoerotic.

Most likely, Mochi reads a lot into various things.
