This is why Bang Zoom! is my favorite dub studio. https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/09/hajimete-no-gal-english-dub-lambasts-visual-novel-fans-as-misogynistic-creeps/40324/ Well, that and forcing Bryce Papenbrook to speak with a hokey Italian accent.

I'm pretty sure FUNimation is keeping an iron grip on it for as long as they can.

IIRC, Araki has dogs get brutally killed in the show often to show how assholish the villains are. They did it with Dio all the way back in season 1, and they did it with Yellow Temperance now. It’s also worth mentioning that while Kars actually saved a dog from getting killed, he was still enough of a dick towards humanity to prove himself incorrigible. DRAGONBALL SUPER In a way, that exchange was Greg Ayres’ way of responding to all his haters. You can’t not love Vegeta when he’s dubbed like this. Fuck yeah, unique camera angles. WAN PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCH! And then it turned out Monaka wasn’t that strong after all. Whis, you’re a cheeky bastard and I love you for it. That was clearly over 100 ties, why hasn’t the Quartz-Parchment-Shears god from Regular Show shown up yet? Meanwhile, Frost is still a conniving bastard. You’ve pissed Jotaro Kujo off, now you die. Automagetta? That robot man’s voice and dialogue makes it very hard for me to hate him. LAVASALIVA. I heard an F-bomb, who else heard an F-bomb? And then Vegeta fell victim to smoke inhalation. CHUGGA CHUGGA FUCK. TOP BILLING: Bullshit this time, because it’s Goku then Goten at the top. Also, Magetta has no voice actor. DRAGONBALL Z KAI We TV-14 again. Holy shit, SSJ3 Goku does have no eyebrows! Was that a dinosaur back there? And, of course, they’re super-nonchalant about their possible doom. Goku looks like a practicing boxer, punching Buu like that. I blame Goku for that specific piece of property damage. GUM GUM ZOOM PUNCH. Buu knows a good opponent when he sees one. Now’s not the time for snack breaks, Mrs. Briefs! Such nonchalance. Your cheering sucks, Babidi. And then Buu was a Paper Mario character. This fight’s starting to bore me, and yet I can’t look away. Bulma, you fool! Videl, meanwhile, is a lifesaver if there ever was one in a situation this medial. So Roshi poking Videl’s chest is more objectionable than him directly groping 18? Sure, why not. Meanwhile, more boring action shit. Buu sounds like a monkey. Nothing’s more powerful than the Kamehameha. Or maybe it was Roshi’s breast-poke and that massive hole in Buu that pushed it over. Whoop, there goes [iNSERT TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY HERE]. Nice, Gohan’s getting better at handling the Z Sword. What’s with the Pinocchio nose. At least I can somewhat understand her intentions, as foolish as they may be in hindsight. “Oh, and say hi to Frieza for me, too.” That’s the power of Instant Transmission, baby. Okay, so it’s Roshi’s breast-poke, the hole in Buu, and Babidi getting strangled and later having his head blown off. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS Make that coconut milk instead of coconut water and you make a very solid point. Holy shit, Kakyoin really hates pickpockets. This guy’s gone full Seryu Ubiquitous, so much so that even Jotaro is disturbed. Was that a freaking Beatles reference? If anyone’s had a bad day today, it’s Polnareff. Dude got tortured by a killer doll and spent at least an hour in holding, that’s way worse than getting your wallet stolen. MFW Kakyoin ate the Beatles. Only idiots with no taste don’t love coconut. Huh, so Jotaro went for the ice cream after all. No, not the ice cream! It ain’t RERO RERO, but it’s good enough. 30-second rule! Not even Jotaro was expecting his jaw to get all fucked like that. GAZE UPON MY HANDSOME MANLY FEATURES. These JoJo villains sure love their vulgarity. She could see all of that? Turns out the real Kakyoin was sunbathing (while dressed) this whole time. “Good freakin’ grief.” NO WEAKNESS. Is that kid’s mother a prostitute? “That’s certainly a bizarre entrance.” “Yeah, well, this is a bizarre anime.” It’s not the kid’s mother, and it’s not a prostitute either. Damn, what’s wrong with me today? SHIT COUNT: 2. Welp, so much for the dog. Twenty bucks says he only said the wrong surname to match the lip flaps. JOESTAR SECRET TECHNIQUE: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! > Smart thinking there, Jotaro. GAH MY SEXY NOSE. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten Jotaro to lower his guard yet. FUN FACT #1: Centerfold’s original name is J. Geil. The latter name suits him better, actually. These assassins are somehow less likeable than DIO. “DO I FEEL LUCKY!? DO I, PUNK!?” WATER PUNCH. It’s nice that Yellow Temperance got his comeuppance and all, but what happened to the single dad and his kid? Turns out Kakyoin actually does lick cherries like that. FUN FACT #2: Yellow Temperance’s STAND user was named Rubber Soul, which probably explains the Beatles reference earlier. Huh, I just realized there was no narrator this episode. TOKYO GHOUL ROOT A Meanwhile, in Kaneki’s happy place… Heh, “space cadet”. Welp, so much for the happy place. You think Hide knows that Kaneki’s part-Ghoul now? He knows, and he’s actually okay with it. Hide confirmed for best character. “I’m warning you, it might not taste very good.” “Hey, even if it’s bad, it’s still better than actual food.” Ah yes, I remember that time Nishio was a total prick. Hmm, so Shinohara isn’t dead yet. Well, at least Marude’s alive, and that’s what truly matters. Oh yeah, Sera’s voice is alive too, that’s just as good. As for Amon… yeah, I’m not sure what happened to him either. This is actually quite a nice scene. And then the mood got ruined. (To be honest, I thought Kaneki was the one bleeding real bad, not Hide.) Weird, the sky got all red and shit. Kaneki torched the franchise, and yet, he isn’t running! Red tears are the edgiest. Okay I forgave this show for a lot of crap but I call shenanigans on his hair going back to black like that. Oh hey, a flashback to slightly younger Touka. Because nothing brings in customers like attractive tomboys. We funeral marching now. I would’ve been so mad if that rubble had crushed Touka, but thank god it didn’t. The burning Anteiku is an extended metaphor for what this show has become. SUDDENLY YOMO. Cool, a piano cover of the OP with subtitled lyrics. Oh, so the hair color change was symbolic. Okay, regardless of whether or not I like or hate this, that Unravel remix was 10/10, I actually teared up a little listening to it. And so the white-hairs finally meet, their altercation cut due to budgetary reasons. “…That was my favorite teacup.” REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “This show was bad and my life is objectively worse for having watched it.” Maybe, but at least you’re finally free from it. As for me, as far as the Pierrot series I’ve watched (even the incomplete ones) go… the Toshiyuki Tsuru episodes of Naruto and Shippuden > Bleach canon > Yu Yu Hakusho > Yona of the Dawn > Naruto Shippuden > Naruto canon > Level E > Tokyo Ghoul > Bleach movies > Bleach filler > Neo Ranga > Naruto movies > Convenience Store Boyfriends > Mew Mew Power > Tokyo Ghoul Root A > Naruto filler > Bleach episodes 358 and 359. That’s right, Root A is worse than a 4Kids dub, but still better than Naruto peeing on Ino, and way better than that time Tsukishima supposedly used Book of the End on MILFboss. 7.9/10, might watch the manga tie-in OVAs. HUNTER x HUNTER We all four subratings now, this gonna be good. Unlike those pirates’ stupid hats. Man, not even two minutes onscreen and I want this guy to die from indigestion. Stone cold, Killua. Sweet, their headquarters is a community gym. GRATUITOUS MAN-ASS SHOT. Dat female pirate. <3 NEN BOXING. Regardless of who won or lost, that was pretty cool regardless. Wait, so they’re losing on purpose? Hey, if it’s for the good of the mission. Bitch move, boobs lady. At least Goreinu’s a cool guy. Oh, if only you knew how many Troupe members were on the island already… These kids are so tsundere for each other. A WILD NAKED HISOKA SPOTTED! He still looks surprisingly more attractive with his hair down. Oh, Biscuit, you’re incorrigible. “…But I don’t wanna delay my fight with Chrollo any longer than I have to.” Welcome to the wonderful world of hiatus, Hisoka. That sure is a legitimate-sounding lie. I love it when Hisoka gets all comically reactive alongside everyone else. WE SHOUJO MANGA NOW. To the City of Brotherly Love! BAD STARE BAD STARE. If Hisoka collects enough Spell cards, he’ll be a Magician for real! I don’t trust that background noise. “My glasses! I can’t see without my glasses!” Oh hey, a magical girl anime protagonist. MEANWHILE, RAPE. And then Killua had a/n Eureka moment. I bet you anything he hid the Troupe’s names with his Texture Surprise. EXACTLY AS I THOUGHT. Hisoka’s stance varies, depending on what side of his you’re on. LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE Cool, new opening quote. Italy really does look like a hooker boot from several thousand feet above. Now that is a remote prison. Damn, Lupin looks like hell. Cool, new Italian opening theme. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: “Wait did that song just say "I'm searching for someone I can satisfy on my knees" or am I going crazy.” I think they were actually singing “I’m searching for someone who can satisfy all my needs,” but I wouldn’t blame you for guessing that. Don’t you think the death penalty’s a little harsh for a serial thief? “How will Lupin escape from this maximum security prison?” You ever see The Shawshank Redemption? Well, it’s kinda like that. Okay, it ain’t exactly Shawshank, but it’s close enough. Zenigata’s standing in the bucket of a construction vehicle, now I’ve seen everything. Lemme guess, he escapes through the toilet this time. Literally makin’ love to the camera. I love how Zenigata’s taken all possibilities of escape into consideration. That’s a lotta chains. Maximum security where the security is a single man with a lot to prove. Oh crap, he put surveillance on the others. You can’t not love Fujiko’s rack. <3 Mmm, beef stew. Or maybe it’s curry rice. What a waste of perfectly good food. I assume this is some sort of hunger strike. Sometimes I feel like Zenigata is a little too prepared. And then he learned that chasing after Lupin was more worth his time than actually succeeding. For a second there, I thought he was shaving with snow. Even Rebecca’s busy doing her own shit. OR MAYBE NOT. As for everyone else, they were expecting he’d be out by now. I don’t know about Lupin, but I’d eat Zenigata’s cooking. CRAAAAAAAAAAAP. Hm, so he was actually worried about losing his own personal reputation, the moment he no longer had an opponent as worthy as Lupin. Could this possibly be the end? The answer: no. No it is not. The possibility was touching while it lasted, but HOLY SHIT ZENI GOT PLAYED. There’s no pussyfooting around it, that plan was genius. So much so, that even Zenigata has to admit how impressive it was, even if it wasn’t to Lupin’s face directly. Oh good, Nyx is still alive. The universe may end, but Lupin’s legacy won’t. Meanwhile, sudden plot developments at MI6? It’s Rip Van Winkle, only without any clothes. REPLY TO ANGEL 3: “This ED sounds like a discarded Backstreet Boy track.” Hey, if you’re looking for legitimate Backstreet Boys anime themes, try looking up the OP and ED for this show called Hanada Shonen-shi. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Meanwhile, in Kakashi’s afterlife… Man, the Leaf Village were real dicks, it’s kinda fitting in a weird way that Kakashi became Naruto’s sensei. Kakashi is a good son. And then the dead started coming back to life. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. “I can’t believe it.” It’s a shame that lines like that are the only time we’ll ever hear “Believe it” in this show. Reminder that Konohamaru was actually useful for once. And then Nagato pulled a Kaneki and randomly lost all the pigment in his hair. “What, more and more?” Clearly, he died and came back to life. What more needs to be said? REPLY TO ANGEL 4: “Really, one lecture from an obnoxious teenager and this guy gives up decades of vengeance in twenty seconds flat?” The Talk no Jutsu is too complicated to properly comprehend. He makes a very fair point. So does that mean Jiraiya’s God? That tree was made from six billion individual pieces of paper. Weird question: you think all the other Pains’ hair colors were orange as part of some tribute to Yahiko, since he had that same hair color? And then Konan became a wanderer. Nice paper bouquet. That’s a nice-looking memoriam, it’d be a shame if someone stole that book and flowers. Naruto’s had a rough day. SUDDENLY KAKASHI. Cool, a victory party. The only people who thought positively of that punch were the NaruSaku shippers. Thank you for your wise words, Guy. “You know, I could almost fall for him.” Three paragraphs up, near the end, and you’d be having second thoughts like that. Shino, that was a hilariously terrible pun. I regret not rewatching Neji getting an uppercut from below with all of you. Definitely a step up from how Naruto got the one-up on Kiba, that’s for sure. ::]:: The Hyuga bloodline will be unstoppable with his spawn. And then there was that time he headbutted Gaara into submission. Oh god, Sasuke’s got yaoi hands. The irony is, his failure to rescue Sasuke actually made Sasuke look bad. And that’s how Naruto went from being a pariah to a hero, in a nice concise series of flashbacks. It’s amazing how Iruka feels like a main character in spite of having so little screentime. You know, the Toonami run could’ve ended with this episode and I’d have been 100% fine with it. OUTLAW STAR Check it out, another hot woman. DAT ASS. B} SHIT COUNT: 1. Well, at least the landing was successful, even if it was that close to failure. Did he just say “West Virginia”? Damn, Sunrise’s HD masters sure have a nice quality to them. Sometimes I feel like Jim’s eyebrows are too thick. Not even a minute onscreen and I already love Fred, no homo. Good, so Earth still exists in this timeline. I wouldn’t blame him for assuming it wasn’t a joke, or maybe that’s just Japan’s natural tendency for accidental homophobia. Clearly that means Fred really is gay for Gene. Oh hey, it’s that lady from the opening. Man, these minutes keep getting shorter and shorter. Well that was a fun fight sequence. Gene really knows how to reverse haggle. Poor Fred. Damn, she certainly showed up fast. And damn, is she really good with that sword. I love that shot of her slicing the truck in half. :-D Those rock formations look an awful lot like a forest from a distance. FEUDAL DISROBING MANEUVER. Wait, Gene has a sash collection? Now that’s… suspect. YOU’RE DEAD BECAUSE I SAY SO. Well that settled itself quite nicely. I’m good at math but sometimes all this money talk gets super-confusing. SO SUE ME. In the end, Melfina’s still the cutest. :catsmile COWBOY BEBOP Do that morphin’ for my endorphin. So were Spike and Jet the only survivors of that shootout or what? It’s a good thing I’m rewatching this, because I’m enjoying all these English signs. Rabid monkeys are scary m-effers. I do like that one brother messing around with the sea rat squeaky toy. It’s gotta be more than coincidence that they ran into Faye like they did. Amazing how nipple-less nudie pics count as explicit sexual content, but then again, it is a children’s network by day… TRUMP CARD COUNT: 1. Even after ten years, I still don’t like her teeth. You say “wasteland area”, but I say “shoal zone”. WE WANT NO DIRTY UNIVERSE. Huh, Spike’s voice came out delayed there for a second. “Aw, shit! It split!” BULLHORN. I love that little lesson on hyperspace logic. Spike just screwed all of them over. Looks like Faye’s part of the crew now. “I don’t know and I have no opinion.” Another good line. It always gets me that Ranlsa complained about shows like GXP being disrespectful towards women, and yet she insisted that Spike was the one that shot at Faye while she was in the shower instead of it being the other way around. COMMERCIALS AND BUMPERS AND SHIT I have a feeling IBO season 2 is gonna be a little more convoluted than season 1. The new Colonel sure loves slapping that guy’s ass. Apparently I’ve reached that point in life where humorously terrible things happening to people in my age group come off as less funny and more mean-spirited. The disappointment in knowing the season finale (at first glance) isn’t about Evil Morty is only slight less than Summer calling Jerry a “racist sexist beta male” for literally no reason. The world isn’t ready for Tim & Eric playing a lesbian couple. I don’t watch Walking Dead, so this means nothing to me. Because it ain’t Dragonball Pooper without at least one fart joke. You know what would make horror movies more watchable? A kickass soundtrack that you just wanna dance to. Do not attempt, because like any sane person would do any of that shit. AN UGLY DAYYYYYYYY~. On a more positive note, I love me a taco party. (That sounded gross, didn’t it? ) Nobody expects random queso that doesn’t look like proper melted cheese! That Asian kid’s full name is “Mongo Wrestling Alliance”. MUSIC VIDEO OF THE MOMENT: Unless they pull another miracle like Out of the Black, I’m gonna start valuing Naruto over these weird terrible promotionals to apologize for the fallout with DOOM. Hell, this specific music video looks and sounds worse than Tokyo Ghoul. R.I.P. Hideyoshi Nagachika. At least you died from a bleeding wound in the last episode instead of getting eaten by a not-yet-developed Nishio in the second. :catsad

I'll save SAO3 for when Toonami inevitably airs it. The GGO spin-off, they probably won't even touch, so I'll watch that on my own.

Well the Internet's not a movie theater. You have the option of not paying attention.

Can we please not talk about that? It finally got out of the news, I don't want to be reminded of it again here of all places.

Don't forget the Yuki Kajiura soundtrack.

We did not need to know that. :-X

Well, it is the last episode. Might as well rush into it headlong.

Tonight on Toonami, it's Vegeta's time to shine as he gives Frost the beatdown he deserves, Goku shows Buu (and everyone else) the power that comes with Super Saiyan 3, RERORERORERORERORERORERO, the 15-man party goes up against Razor and his pirate crew in a sports competition (we Davy Back Fight now?), it turns out not even getting arrested will stop Lupin from a good challenge, Nagato seeks to set right what wrongs he made in the Pain Arc's anticlimactic finale, the Outlaw Star crew return to Sentinel III to get weapons from Gene's fabulous supply guy, a family of eco-terrorists threaten to wreak havoc on Ganymede after Spike and Jet capture their matriarch, and Ymir's backstory spoils the manga for everybody still in the dark. But most importantly, Tokyo Ghoul finally ends tonight. It's been a long, hard 24+ weeks, but we finally made it through the other piece of moldy bread sandwiching in the delicious contents of One Piece's four-year run. (For those of you not keeping track, the other moldy bread slice was Tenchi Muyo! GXP.) Next week marks the return of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Some say it's worse than season 1, but after Ghoul, anything is a welcome respite. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #34 - Piccolo vs. Frost: Stake it All on the Special Beam Cannon! - TV-14 8:30 - Dragonball Super #35 - Turn Your Anger Into Strength!

It's those people's opinions, and no one should be forced to conform to them. Watch it whichever way you want.

At this point, I think they're just gonna cover the Aincrad arc, so no rape slugs.

I'm indifferent towards Hollywood adaptations of anime, so this means absolutely nothing to me. That said, it's either gonna be pretty damn good or a bigger piece of shit than DB Evolution.

You breeze through anime so fast, you only bother to list the most recent one you watched.

That's stupid. If they really wanted gay people to disappear, they wouldn't be putting so many of them in their works, homophobically represented or not.

Either you really care about this, or you have way too much time on your hands.

Comedy Central doesn't have kids shows on during the daytime, and Rick and Morty's popular enough to get away with it.

Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita 12 Hunter x Hunter 1999 31

All I remember is that someone asked when they were airing PSG on the Tumblr back when they openly answered questions, and they said they weren't airing it. Demarco hating the show, as far as I'm concerned, is just 4chan memes.

Fred Luo, who isn't nearly as much of a rapist as you think he is.

I'm not too concerned about OPM changing directors and studios, but even if it's not as top tier as season 1, chances are very high that I'll enjoy season 2 regardless.

So you’re saying Nyx is the result of MI6 using Uraga’s research for their own means? How very interesting… DRAGONBALL SUPER Goku lost a fight, cue the dramatic orchestra music. Yes, let’s all blame Krillin. I highly appreciate your emotionally concerned response, Chi-Chi, but this still doesn’t make up for your bitchery fifteen episodes ago. He may have lost, but he did so with dignity. Pretending to be okay with his loss isn’t a good façade for you, Beerus. Piccolo is surprisingly chill about this. That poor ref. Oh, so that’s how Jaco got over there. Ouch, right in the knee! Shadow clones? I can’t… believe it. GUM GUM NETZOOKA. I love how super-confident Piccolo is right now. Oh crap, now he’s seeing the world all squiggly and stuff. TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT. I really do enjoy Jaco, I can’t see how Mochi thinks he’s the worst. Frost, you a busta. BOO THIS MAN. Vegeta’s got this. Shame Piccolo wound up being useless in the end, though. “Your voice annoys me.” Take that, Greg Ayres! TOP BILLING: Frost. DRAGONBALL Z KAI EXCALIBURRRRRRRRRRR~. Capsule Corp? Oh no, Bulma’s parents are there! Babidi only barely got cut off by the OP. Goku, you ignorant. “Oh man, now we have to stop them!” Goten’s a good boy, unlike that Tobi. Please punch that fucker in the face already, Goku. PEEK-A-BUU. Oh no, Buu’s become self-aware. Meanwhile, Mr. Satan turned a scared group of people into a pep rally. HAIL SATAN HAIL SATAN HAIL SATAN. Satan, you ignorant. Trunks, meanwhile, is just stupid. Oh boy, time for one of the most iconic parts. I know the dub changed the wording here, BUT THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND! When you bust a nut so hard the whole squad feel it. GRATUITOUS YELLING. You’re the man, Goten, deal with it. He can see into infinity. Ladies and gentlemen, Super Saiyan 3. Even Gohan can feel it, and he’s in another galaxy entirely. It’s fun watching Buu get hurt. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS In which Polnareff scares a police officer out of forcing him to pay an unreasonably high littering fine. I thought I saw something suspicious racing on that elevated freeway, but it was just a bunch of regular cars. Showering in safety is the best kind of showering. That’s a real nice view of the pool he’s got there. Room service, there’s a STAND user in my refrigerator! Well that was easy. OR MAYBE NOT. Has masochism gone too far? Aww shit he got his skin sliced off. If I were Polnareff, I’d chuck that doll out the window. NOBODY KNOWS~. And now bondage has gone too far. We Chucky now. Grotesque as fuck. Good job guys, making sure the loli’s out of danger. AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY. NOOOOOO NOT THE WINE. It’s only been five minutes. What a waste of perfectly good beer. Now he’s taking ballbusting to levels even those who desire castration that way think are too much! Oh Jesus that bulge. ::: FUCK YEAH POLNAREFF. SHIT COUNT: 2. And that’s why he’s the true protagonist. Not the kind of thing you wanna see in a toilet stall. Reality sues, and its name is the justice system. CHANNEL SURFING NO JUTSU. This scene appeals to me in ways you couldn’t imagine. Oh goddammit Kakyoin. You have now reached Channel Zero, where we interrupt this 24-hour marathon of Candle Cove for this message from our lord and savior, DIO. That was the best creepypasta ever, eat your heart out NoEnd House. NAME CHANGE OF THE WEEK: Devo the Cursed to Soul Sacrifice. TOKYO GHOUL ROOT A Welp, Shinohara’s dead, what’s the point in anything anymore. REVEEEEEEEEEEENGE!!! It’s raining CGI minor characters! Torching the animated franchise and running is all Aogiri Tree’s good for this arc, apparently. I still love Mado Jr. and her whip. SHIT COUNT: 1. Oh well, at least Marude’s okay. The visual nihilism these past few minutes has been pretty strong. Really, Kaneki vs. Amon is the only fight that really matters at this point. Kaneki’s motivations this season have been a total mystery. Okay, that’s a pretty sweet-looking power-up. Yeahhhhh I doubt that dildo-gun’s gonna do any good against the masked man. Welp, Hide’s doomed. SUCH NIHILISM. At least this fight’s still pretty cool, and the music ain’t bad either. If you have any heart, show, make sure Mado Jr. makes it out of there alive. DOUBLE KO, THERE IS NO WINNER. That guy over there is waiting for Godot. Oh hey, CCG members who are actually competent at not getting killed right away. Just one sight of a man without lips is enough to send the Ghouls running away like little bitches. It ate Yoshimura? Well that’s pretty fucked up. Whatever you’re hoping to find there, it ain’t gonna be. You failed to protect one of them, that’s enough to justify how much you suck right now. But hey, you made it there, so points for you, I guess? Oh hi Hide. SURPRISE POST-CREDITS STINGER. Turns out the One-Eyed Owl was a cute girl and also Yoshimura’s daughter, by the way he’s still alive somehow. HUNTER x HUNTER OH YOU GOTTA HAVE A MONTAGE~. I miss Bisky’s pigtails. Oh shit he brought decoys. You’re an idiot, Evil Blonde Todd 2.0, who wouldn’t like a free lunch? And then he screwed them over like Sugo would’ve screwed Asuna had Kirito not intervened. “Strip of Beach” sounds like an awesome card. BRAIN BLAST x2. It’s kinda sad that only now am I finally understanding the concept of trading cards. But even then, it’s too confusing for my mind and its preference for anime and engineering-related pursuits. Ah yes, the village of sickly ninjas. Turns out they were cards all along. FUCK YEAH JEWEL RING. Confound that Genthru, he drives me to drink! I’m having mixed feelings about this redhead girl. Say what you want, but Killua bickering with this chick just makes me smile. Well that turned out alright in the end. Awesome, cheat codes. Strip of Beach still sounds awesome. ;D That is one depressed NPC. Man, screw that Razor guy. Aw crap, it’s Big Bubba. LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE Lupin can’t make head or tails of these notes, but at least he’s trying to get somewhere. Finally, some English text! What the shit the text got all rainbow-colored and floaty. “I didn’t know Lupin had dreams!” Everyone has dreams, Fujiko. Oh hey, pixelated boobage. And look, teenage Rebecca with her natural hair color! LUPIN THE VOYEUR. This is all too deep for me, but I can totally vouch for the whole “create a world” philosophy. Oh no, Nickelodeon slime! Huh, so his name isn’t Wataru after all. It’s Lupin’s first dream, of course he’s gonna act all weird because of it. The secret to immortality is writing a book containing everything about your consciousness, apparently. This is so fucking weird and complicated, I love it. ;D Giant insects, giant insects everywhere! Those look like barbiturates. Well this got depressing in a hurry. What beautiful visual direction. I love the license plate gag, another thing that means more to me than the rest of you. Holy shit has Nyx been driving all day? The password is “The Dream of Italy”. Now for some literal torching of the research and running. What a badass, that Lupin the 3rd. It was an arranged car crash, the worst kind! So much for having her sign the divorce papers, then. Ah yes, the Itachi tap of affection. A BULLET HIT LUPIN, SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Fuck yeah, he’s recreating his famous run! Fool, Lupin doesn’t need legs to escape! See, I told you he didn’t need to escape with his legs. And then MI6 killed them both. Zenigata, you stubborn fool. Dammit, I was hoping his real name was Justin Time! All in all, it was a downer of a midseason finale. Are the police just allowed to run STOP signs like that? NARUTO SHIPPUDEN At this point, I’m not sure if he wants either peace or war. DÉJÀ VU I’VE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE. Well whaddaya know, Naruto’s immune to the Talk no Jutsu, as I expected. Peace is only impossible if you want it to be. That’s a really comfy-looking abode he’s got there. “I wonder what my main character’s name should be,” he said as he looked at the narutomaki slice in his king-sized bowl of ramen. She did, and you did, but not under the circumstances you would’ve liked. And then he self-inserted himself into the book. The ability to use words in such a manner that the recipient looks deep into themselves and rediscovers the humanity behind their evilness. That is the power of the Talk no Jutsu. And it’s not bad, not bad at all… Time for a flashback to… not-so-good times. Oh hey it’s the GANTZ ball. That image looks like a homoerotic fanfiction just waiting to happen. FORESHADOWING FLASH. Well that’s certainly a thing. OUTLAW STAR Aisha a cute. A CUTE! Huh, so Swanzo isn’t a robot. I’m not sure if he’s speaking while biting his lip or if they forgot to paint in his mouth. MENACING GENE. The color should be red, so it can go faster than all the others. “I’m not mad.” Yeah, but you definitely look it. Holy shit Jim is short. Aisha’s name still sounds nothing like I thought it should’ve been pronounced. Serious answer, comical reaction. MOOD WHIPLASH 101. Well that escalated quickly. Yes, Jim, we know she’s a Ctarl-Ctarl, tell us something profound for once. It’s just so easy to understand why everyone loves this chick. All that buildup, and it was for nothing. Oh no, why are they blue? “MY GOD IT’S FULL OF STARS!!!” Artificial or not, they’re still pretty flowers. Melfina is just too adorable. <3 SHIT COUNT: 2. SUDDENLY AISHA, AGAIN. Melfina may be best in this show, but Aisha comes in a close second. Well that was anticlimactic. She’s outta calories? Someone get this girl a Derodoro Drink! FUCK YEAH CHINA BUFFET. A very close second. ;D She’s flexing her muscles for you, ya giblethead. ELECTRO SHOCK. Seriously, just one over infinity away from being tied with Melfina. Gilliam, you’re great. I don’t know how to feel about this Fred guy, just from the way you’re talking about him. Something tells me this he did something to Jim and Jim does not wanna relive it. Poor Aisha, but hey, she brought it on herself, and that’s why she’s only number two. COWBOY BEBOP Faye’s introductory scene is just perfection. Eleven floors of nothing but bathrooms, I love these background signs. You gotta love space gambling. Swallowing cigarettes and poker chips, Spike is a grade-A madman. I just love a protagonist who can kick ass like it’s nobody’s business. Big Shot always comes on at the most convenient times. I like to think she actually was descended from Romanies, but played that slice of heritage up as a sort of bluff. The last time someone listened to their dreams, they got shot by MI6. You gotta love these missile animations; one of the very few things worth watching Eureka AO for. (Emphasis on “very few”.) Hopefully they get some cash after this go-round. COMMERCIALS AND EXTRAS You’re free to cry all you want, but I for one am excited for season 2 of IBO. Those singing ingredients for Chobani will never not disturb me. Holy fuck Beth is just the worst. Huh, Toejam and Earl is still a thing. Eh, at least the dancing couple up there looks happy. “You cannot cheat death.” Shut the fuck up, you’re not in Final Destination. #NotMyJuniorBaconCheeseburger. Taco Bell’s ideas for alternative shells are getting worse all the time. LEFT TWIX AND RIGHT TWIX ARE THE SAME GODDAMN THING YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES. These Kia commercials with the hamsters are getting weirder all the time. MUSIC VIDEO OF THE MOMENT: Between this and him coming out as a socialist, I think Demarco’s got brain problems. In all fairness, he only took out that gym because he was being treated like shit and those treating him as such deserved to die like the little monkeys they are. “This will be the real deal” indeed, that beat looks better than the rest. Is a fried egg taco shell really that stupefying? I can’t wait for Vegeta to show why he’s the greatest. BIRD BIRD BIRD BIRD IS THE WORD.

I'll only be happy with it if they kill off Riddhe, on-screen or off, I don't care.
