Hunter x Hunter 1999 39 Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor 5

Tonight on Toonami, Vegeta's impressive series of straight victories is put into jeopardy when he goes up against the captain of the 6th Universe's team, Goku scours the near-whole of Otherworld in search of Gohan, Joseph goes to the doctor to figure out what's up with the weird growth on his arm, Tekkadan reluctantly teams up with Gjallarhorn as the battle against the Dawn Horizon Corps nears, Gon and Killua work together with Hisoka to bring an end to Razor's game of Nen dodgeball, Lupin finds a lost dog while on a vacation with Jigen and Goemon, according to Wikipedia "Naruto runs into three female ninja" which is enough to sell me on the rest of the episode, Gene and Jim take on a job to get some cash for maintaining the ship, do not fuck with Spike when he's trying his damndest to cure his hangover, and a terrorist situation at the Chinese Embassy gives Section 9 the chance they need to be officially reinstated as a government entity. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #37 - Don't Forget Your Saiyan Pride!

Yona of the Dawn 12

Let's be honest, here. Who actually watches DBZ for the emotional "gravitas"? Because everyone's there for either the fights or to make fun of it.

Hunter x Hunter 1999 38 Rewatched Yona of the Dawn 11

If so, chances are it's the Gu Gu Ganmo guy.

Hey, it's fun to theorize, even if the theories themselves are questionable.

Reminds me of that time Super Android 13 punched him in the dick.

You know, I'd feel insulted by that, but instead I'm just satisfied that you managed to Google it yourself instead of having someone answer it for you.

Well, for one, there's getting caught up on a show you haven't seen before at the last minute before the new season premieres. That's what I did with Samurai Jack; marathoned the last 30 episodes of the original run the day before season 5 hit.

Don't question it, Elfie, it only makes you look ridiculous.

Maybe they just don't like Taiga on the principle of her being a flat-chested tsundere voiced by Rie Kugimiya. Lord knows everyone had enough of that after Familiar of Zero...

OVERREACTION OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE, FOLKS.

Is he, Jman? Is he?

Another week of ratings, another instance of Jman acting like Netflix is more the Toonami killer than it actually is.

This is less a precaution for vacation than it is for late-night partying.

Your Lie in April 7

Remember that one Shounen Jump cover that implied Toriko dethroned Bleach in the Big 3? Gintoki's face is objectively the best part of that cover.

March Comes in Like a Lion 23, or as you guys would say, 3-Gatsu no Lion S2 1

Seeing how they just appeared, I wouldn't expect you to. From what I can tell, the dark-skinned and facial-haired guys are two of the seven patriarchs that run Gjallarhorn, and the girl is being trained by both of them. DRAGONBALL SUPER That whole opening scene came off as too awkward even for this show, between the random watermelon eating and equally out-of-nowhere squabbling between Beerus and Champa. I completely forgot Yamcha and Chiaotzu were even there. Careful, Chi-Chi, your unlikable side is showing. Heh, it’s the classic Vegeta pose. :-D I love that Vegeta didn’t object in the slightest to Cabba calling Goku his friend. Like a hackysack player. “Screw the rules, I have my pride!” You can mess with a man’s planet, but you don’t mess with his family. And just as Cabba learnt what it means to have Saiyan rage, Vegeta learned what it means to regret something. Not to say he isn’t proud of himself in spite of that, though. Yamcha sounds kinda brain-damaged today. “You’re blue.” Da ba dee, da ba di. Three wins in a row, that’s the most Vegeta’s ever been useful since the Cell saga. TOP BILLING: Goku, which I heavily doubt. DRAGONBALL Z KAI A PG episode of DBZ Kai without violence? Inconceivable! “Even if we can fix things with the Dragon Balls, we don’t wanna see people suffer!” You make an extremely solid point, Krillin. Oh, that poor rural community doesn’t know what’s coming to it. Holy shit where did all those people come from. We MTV Cribz now? This where Majin Buu makes Majin Poo. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi’s having night terrors. It’s only been 15 minutes? Earth was the last place I would’ve expected to run on Namek time. As usual, Goku gives no fucks. And then you scream like you’re trying really hard to take a dump. “What happened to your eyebrows?” Piccolo’s got two other people in there to remember the Fusion instructions for him, he’s got this. Oh goddammit Chi-Chi. >( Videl being the only one who knows what’s up. A Namek minute can only last for so long. “Remember when we used to go out there and do stuff?” I want those Mr. Satan playing cards. Welp, that’s another bit of brain damage for him. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CUTTING IN LINE, YOU WILL BE SENT STRAIGHT TO HELL. See, Videl told y’all Gohan wasn’t actually dead. Oh, Dabura. Too soon… JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS Huh, no opening theme this time. I know it’s been said already, but the Hanged Man’s power is pretty freaking cool. So we’re just leaving Avdol’s body for Jotaro and Joseph to find then, right? “That’s for letting your emotions get the better of you.” Just as I expected. The cows in India look a lot like camels, I see. “Remember that this is reality, not fantasy.” What kind of anime do you think you’re even in, Kakyoin? Tell me. HE’S HIDING IN THE CHROME OF THE STEERING WHEEL. And they say Stardust Crusaders is a terrible part, I’m really enjoying it thus far. He looks handsomer and blacker than I expected. Of course it isn’t him, his left hand is normal-looking. There we go, there’s the ugly sonuvabitch I remember from the OVA. Eh, I’d say your STAND has more weaknesses than Yellow Temperance, even if they only number one. HEADS, POLNAREFF WINS. TAILS, CENTERFOLD LOSES. Ain’t revenge great? Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Hol Horse. He has no idea Centerfold’s dead, does he? He’s using the Joestar secret technique. And then he got knocked the fuck out. Didn’t expect that girl from last episode to have any relevance now. And that’s how Polnareff learned the true value of teamwork. That’s the weirdest-looking pimple I’ve ever seen. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: IRON BLOODED ORPHANS It’s been forever since I’ve seen the Barbatos, what makes the Lupus upgrade so different from the original? Oh shit they have escape pods. Say what you will about the show’s quality but damn do I love those opening themes. “We kill, we pillage, we plunder. We don’t rape, though; gotta have standards.” Why is this fat bastard still alive. Oh that Dante, he thinks he’s a main character. So the new name is Teiwaz’s fault, then. Mikazuki/Kudelia/Atra is my OT3. Oh crap, Hitler’s back. And apparently he turned to the pedo side. >_> Never trust a Char, at least not 100%. I still have no idea if McMurdo’s a good guy or a bad guy. I assume this kid with the scar is supposed to be important in some way? Too bad this dude isn’t in some other Gundam series, where it takes way less requirements to pilot a Mobile Suit. :-D That Mikazuki misunderstanding. Geez, that’s an infection if I’ve ever seen one. I’m serious, if I have to look at that one more time I might actually gag a little. Masked man intrigues me for non-fetishistic reasons. All these English cast members, and we still don’t know who voices that black lady working for Kudelia. HUNTER x HUNTER Razor opened his eyes, just for a second, shit just got real. Gon looks a little like his father with that forehead bandage. The grin on that gorilla. That was a good move, but apparently not good enough. Clearly that dodgeball is some type of STAND. This situation does not arouse Hisoka one bit. Oh wait, now it does. Clothing counting as fair game is even bigger bullshit than getting out for swallowing the ball! That looks painful. Holy shit Gon looks really buff, and of course, Hisoka likes it. FIRE PUNCH. I assume this next move is gonna be a Hamon punch instead, because he’s breathing noticeably now. HISOKA’S BONER IS MAXIMUM. SUNLIGHT YELLOW OVERDRIVE! Thank you, Hisoka. Those are good points, but what about Killua? He’s only the “most gravely injured” because most of his family is dicks. Damn those hands look nasty, Killua’s lucky his pain tolerance is as high a it is. I’m liking the instrumental version of “Reason” playing here, reminds me of the theme song instrumentals they used in the ’99 series. Hisoka is unpredictable, that’s why he’s their trump card. LUPIN THE 3RD: THE ITALIAN ADVENTURE Zenigata doesn’t wanna admit it, but he’s missed this. RANT OF THE WEEK: “No doubling on a bike” and “no taking motorbikes to school” are the stupidest Japanese laws. Thank god Italy doesn’t follow either. That has to be Lupin’s thinnest disguise ever, but hey, if it works...So I assume he’s the bumbling married guy of this group? “Nothing in the world is more important than the needs of the students, especially the female one.” Off to a good start, I see. Forget the missing diamond, that hamburger has to be days old. Lupin is the best teacher. Be careful, the Hanged Man could be hiding inside that diamond! Either Lupin’s smart or these teachers are so stupid. I wouldn’t say he always gets it, case in point: Fujiko. Oh hey, it’s Lil’ Slugger’s bat before it got all busted. SHE’S ALL ABOUT THE BASS. I think this is my new favorite episode, I just can’t stop smiling. Turns out the blackmailers are just a bunch of average mafia guys. She really has an encyclopedic knowledge of criminals, doesn’t she? These teachers are idiots, but the redhead is cute enough for me to forgive that. I bet you anything he just fires up in the air while screaming at the top of his lungs a la Point Blank. This feels like something out of another manga entirely. And in comes Lupin with the out-of-nowhere save. Only Zenigata would think the “Ultimate Chicken” is a legitimate item worth stealing. Holy shit, I did not expect that random curse out of nowhere. In the end, a winner is Fujiko. Did that song just say “How many times I get drunk?” Now that’s just poor English! NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Yesssss, nostalgic music. Noooooo, asshole children. I bet that orange hoodie was the prototypal version of his famous outfit. “I don’t like the way he’s sticking his tongue out for no reason like that…”I hope that shopkeeper died in Pain’s attack. Still, free mask, that’s always a plus. Well, at least those kids are assholes to each other and not just Naruto. Good news is those kids got theirs, bad news is he unknowingly gave Iruka a surprisingly mild PTSD attack. Is that Patrick Seitz as Iruka’s dad? Excellent show of restraint there. #JinchurikiLivesMatter. Man these are the ugliest kids I’ve ever seen. How many times do you think Kakashi’s read that book? FLASHBACKS WITHIN FLASHBACKS. Naruto getting along with other kids? Well, that’s some progress. Shikamaru’s dad’s a pretty chill guy. I can’t wait to see Toshiyuki Tsuru’s reimagining of this scene about 300 episodes from now. It’s awfully lonely living alone, but not when there’s ramen to be eaten. I never really understood that sleeping cap of his. That’s an uncharacteristically wide door for his apartment. It was unlocked THE ENTIRE TIME. Shikamaru is the only kid smart enough to know that the village’s treatment of him is pretty fucked up. And that’s why Shikamaru’s the best. We Stand By Me now? What jerks those three are. Thanks for calling them out, Shikamaru. TODAY IS SELF-STUDY. OUTLAW STAR I was always under the impression that the narration accompanying the Dreams MV was specially made for it. I guess not, but damn is it cool regardless. Well that was an easier solution than expected. Remember back in the day when anime protagonists had no junk? Oh shit, the pirates have robots. Turns out Jim hates Fred for more than just the pseudo-pedo flirtations. OH SHIT THEIR ROBOTS CAN FLY. Throwing robots like it’s nothing, Gene really is the protagonist we deserve. Buddy, you couldn’t even comprehend the shit she’s able to do with that wooden sword. Screw the port authority, he has space to explore! They can’t place him under arrest if the take-off’s successful, they know that, right? “My journey’s finally beginning.” And it only took you 8 episodes. I can’t believe I never watched this show before now. Not two minutes in air, and they’re already under attack. I can totally see why they hired the director of this show for IGPX. Goodbye, Sentinel III, and thanks for all the fish. COWBOY BEBOP So what’s the context behind Spike getting his fake eye, anyways? I almost forgot about Faye eating the whole can of dog food. Back when the phrase “baby hipster” wasn’t pretentious and annoying. I never realized Jet’s conversation with Fatty came this early in the episode. Once again, a smaller bounty leads right to a bigger one. I can’t believe I didn’t pay much attention to the plot back in the day. All this Engrish. Oh hey, actual English to follow it up. I like this dark music, very [as]-friendly. TOO SOON. Thank god hyperspace travel doesn’t exist IRL. You mean like the newspaper comic? Is this an Evangelion rip-off? I do love the red sky on Mars. Yeah, this episode definitely foreshadowed the events of the finale. Well, at least we know now that exploding him won’t work. That advanced aging deal is so unsettling. BANG. One of the union aliases in the credits is “Chick P. Garbonzo”. BUMPS AND COMMERCIALS These rundown promos could really be written better, but damn if I don’t enjoy the idea behind them. I remember seeing another Alexa commercial between the broken sink and female MLB fan ones, why don’t they air that one on this station? For fuck’s sake, not another Saw movie… ::: Baby Driver is my movie of the year, but that’s probably because it’s the only one I’ve seen this year. That was an oddly sweet video game commercial. Super Saiyan Blue is so powerful, Monaka broke kayfabe just to react to it. The show promo itself was meh, but that music accompanying the live-action jellyfish footage was 11/10. I feel they’re speaking all stilted on purpose; must have something to do with that white-haired OC. This feels like the same commercial but with different words. Something seems unnatural about that black cat... As long as it’s edible (and gluten-free and dairy-free), any pizza will do. Holy shit Demarco stop with the creepy violent depressing music videos already and air something you don’t like instead, that’d be way better than this crap. Snoop Dogg x Martha Stewart is the last pairing I expected for anything, especially a VH1 special.

I'd discuss it as opposed to complaining, but I'm still stuck on season 1.

To be completely honest, Elfie, about 75% of your posts make my brain melt, and not in the good way.
