Clearly this is the fault of Cartoon Network airing nothing but Teen Titans Go all the damn time. Either that or it really is Toei cementing itself as worse than Gonzo.

I would've finished this week's Toonami shows, but because of circumstances involving my sister's summer class grades and her inability to shut up about them, I settled for Dimension W 8 and 9 instead. Speaking of which, it's bullshit that the extras are Blu-Ray only, or at the very least really well hidden on the DVDs. EDIT: Oh, and also Hunter x Hunter 1999 4-5.

Alright, so it's clearly been a while since I actually posted in this thread whose concept I am to thank for, and when it comes down to it, the prospect of watching more To Love-Ru is a little too painful for me to actually go through with it. I'll finish it eventually, don't worry. Just not now, and maybe not here. Instead, I will work my ratings magic on an entirely new series; one that I won't get super into like this is my blog, but will comment on here in regards to ratings. The actual commentary goes in the anime-watching thread, specific ratings concerns go in here. As for what series it is, I'll leave that for you to figure out.

Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita. 3

Maybe they could air it as this year's Daylight Savings surprise?

Considering it's just one episode with just one scene of full-frontal nudity which would be easier to edit than if it were on the original Toonami... yeah, I guess so.

Like Kiyomasa Senji before him.

Anime News Network exists for a reason.

CONTRARIANS. :fap:

DRAGONBALL SUPER We full version again. Now that shit is more like it. What a shame that the battle between those two at their strongest was worsely animated than their first bout. UNTIL LASERS FUCK OUTTA NOWHERE. What an awfully foreboding title. You forgot to say “no homo”, Vegeta. Always trust Krillin when you need Senzu beans. Suck it, Sorbet. Goku’s lucky that laser missed his heart. “You’re not in my league.” And the subtext gets even more homoerotic. And then Vegeta’s hair matched his wife’s. “I don’t believe it!” Hey, that’s supposed to be Pain’s line! So if Vegeta reached SSG all on his own, does that technically make him better than Goku? STOMACH PUNCH. FUCK YEAH VEGETA. Clearly he’s been waiting way too long to do this. And now he’s back to Classic Frieza. He sounds like an angry Goku fanboy. DID HE JUST BLOW UP THE PLANET!? Babies, like animals, are always the first to know disaster. Eh, if Chi-Chi dies from all this, it’s no big loss. Oh hey, isn’t that the pink thing that turned a guy into a cookie and ate him last week? Ladies and gentlemen, my greatest fear: life on Earth coming to an end in my lifetime. Yes, let’s all blame Goku. And that’s why Whis is the best Dandy (barring OG Dandy and Brook). The series hasn’t even started and I already miss the accents. LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN~. Well that wasn’t anti-climactic or anything. Vegeta, you so tsundere. Jaco calls dibs. Yeah, there’s no point in arresting someone whose boss blows shit up for kicks. Gohan’s gonna take a break from fighting for a while. It honestly took me a while to get the whole “Trunks slices Frieza a new one” joke. The secret ingredient of Mr. Satan brownies is weed. Mmm… tempura. Or maybe he’s gonna go back to it with training, sure why not. Soooooooooooooooo tsundere. And then they had an eating contest. Poor, poor Frieza. TOP BILLING: Goku. Secret Invisible Spray: it’s the pits. DRAGONBALL Z KAI SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPWREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK. Clearly Vegeta’s behind it, who else could it be? What’s with the sudden baritone, narrator? See? Told y’all it was Vegeta. Even as a Majin, nobody tells Vegeta what to do. Wait, so Gohan is dead? Ffffffffffffffuck. He’s steaming out the head, does that mean his brain broke? You chose… POORLY. Just imagine he’s Goku, and it should all come easily. He’s gonna blow up the planet isn’t he? Or maybe he’s just gonna use those rocks. Holy shit pure action shows really are terrible for witty comments. “Vegeta’s gone beyond Super Saiyan.” No shit, he was Blue just thirty minutes ago. It’s like punching self-reforming Silly Putty. And then Babidi was the one proven wrong. Well… shit. FINGERBANG. VICTORY GROAN! That steak may be ruined, but at least the corn’s fine. Huh. I was expecting a faster heal time. He may very well be immortal, with as long as he’s lived and as unstoppable as he appears. Gotta love that yellow and pink aesthetic. For a second there, I thought Babidi’s force field was a gumball or something. Well, at least Piccolo’s safe. That lizard is Goten’s Hiya Dragon Icarus. “The Supreme Kai is gone!” Good, that dude really sucked. This is probably the most Vegeta’s ever bled since Frieza. Huh, that episode ended awfully fast. Meanwhile, these cast credits are so blatantly wrong. -_' People who think Annabelle is good horror really need to see The Birds. That shit is terrifying, and doesn’t even need music to tell you that. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS That is honestly a great pre-show intro. TOM and SARA just looking at each other really sells it. No rating screencaps for you this time, I only bothered with season 1, sadly. Oh yeah, I also watched the test dub for these three episodes, so this will be treading some familiar ground to start with. Holy barnacles that’s a lot of barnacles. “Hold on, this is bizarre!” Welcome to JoJo, guy. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that coffin was bad news. Aw yeah, they got David Vincent back as the narrator. COME ON AND SLAM AND WELCOME TO JAPAN. Screw you, JoJo is an awesome nickname. Impressive. One of my guilty pleasures about dubs is when they mention characters speaking Japanese while speaking English. It’s all about ease of communication. Young Jotaro looked an awful lot like young Jonathan, but that’s more a personal observation than anything else. Our protagonist, ladies and gentlemen. An evil spirit, you say? He’s shotgunning a beer, and he isn’t even 20 yet. Neat, unintentional product placement for Shonen Jump. And this was long before any of the Big Three showed up in its pages. And then random attempted suicide… averted. Not really surprised she knows about her father’s Hamon skills. FUCK YEAH OLD JOSEPH. That sort of thing might not be my bag, but I gotta agree with Angel, he’s a total G-DILF. “The fuck y’all lookin’ at?” [canned laughter and applause] Pimp My Jail Cell: only on MTV Japan. FUN FACT: That ESP book in Jotaro’s stack was apparently authored by William Shatner and George Takei. Don’t fuck with Joseph Joestar, even if you are a cop. NOOOOOO HIS ROBOTIC PINKY FINGER. And now it’s Avdol time. FLAME ON! Is that Mega Ultra Chicken? Well, this is moving along quite nicely. >_> Ah, the juxtaposition between what normal people see and what others are able to. Control your Hamon(?) breathing, Jotaro! Okay, make that control your STAND breathing, then. That prison toilet water looks uncharacteristically clean. “What the hell!? I was just about to stab you in the face! What did you think all that buildup was for?” Mission accomplished. BACCANO! QUOTE OF THE MOMENT: “There’s a gun… IN MY HEART!” Jotaro really dislikes his mother’s clinginess. “There’s somethin’ that I can’t quite wrap my brain around.” Oh my god, me too! Where does your hat end and your hair begin? We first two parts recap now? Actually, Jonathan’s technically Jotaro’s great-great-grandfather. DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! “That story’s so lame, it sounds like it came right outta Shonen Jump.” HAMON-STAND CHOP! That is a very humorous drawback. See, I told y’all Joseph’s star birthmark would be important. Of course he’d confirm the trend by going to Lisa Lisa about it. Dio, you rat bastard. And thus the plot begins. I miss Dio’s British accent. I am jealous you guys can’t enjoy these ads for my local adult entertainment store like I can. Unless you live in the Columbus area, in which case never mind. TOKYO GHOUL ROOT A I love how the bumps are still showing clips for season 1 even though we’re a quarter of the way through season 2 now. He managed to partly steal an entire episode just by shooting down a couple Ghoul snipers, that’s badass enough to justify ignoring all the negatives of that mission. Meanwhile, Amon and Mado Jr. are paying a visit to Deadman Wonderland. Okay, that “crushing the faraway building between your fingers” thing the bandaged ghoul did was actually kinda adorable. I’m really hoping Amon wasn’t molested by that priest. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “Oh is creepy priest his dad, I don't care enough to remember if they said that already.” Foster dad, technically, and this is the first time it’s been mentioned. “This man’s definitely a maggot if I’ve ever seen one. Which I have, plenty of times.” Hey, Mado’s demise is no laughing matter. “Man, I knew these staff cutbacks were a bad idea.” And they say this sequel is completely reprehensible. Ask him about the Clowns next, I dare you. Okay show now you’re making me certain that creepy priest guy molested Amon. Definitely a maggot. If there’s one thing I love about season 2, it’s how greater a focus the CCG is getting in comparison to the Ghouls. IT’S RAINING REDSHIRTS! Let it never be said that Naki doesn’t totally rock that white suit. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: “Why do they even bother wearing masks when they just kill everyone?” It’s so any survivors don’t potentially recognize them and rat them out to the proper authorities. How fitting, that they release the generic ghouls first. I’m gonna be disappointed if Akira doesn’t call Kaneki a maggot at least once this whole season. “I’m goin’ in!” “Yes, I can see that.” Oh hey it’s the creepy old lab coat dude from the board meeting. Welp so much for him. Anime original gives, and anime original takes away. Her Quinque is a whip I think I love her even more now. <3 They’re just generic ghouls, so it’s okay to skimp on the animation budget. Naki looks and sounds like an edgy Armin. Of course the non-generic ghoul gets to go last. Even after Kaneki went full edge, he’s still getting his ass kicked. God I love TOM speeches, especially when they make good use of clips from the shows currently airing. That’s why the Equality speech is my favorite from the new generation. Damn, just about everybody’s getting on the Cochlea action. Team Anteiku’s probably relieved that they’re missing all of this. Hmm, so Juzo went by a different name before his CCG days, huh? The generic ghouls are dead now, you guys can go back to using up that animation budget. FUCK YEAH MADO JR. Naki keeps getting stabbed. Well this sure is going terribly. Thank you, Amon. The animation this episode is so bad. But hey, at least Kaneki’s still a punk bitch. Looks like I’m now shipping Amon and Akira together. And I’m okay with that, because why go for someone who sounds like Sera when I already have Sera herself? “I don’t see how it could possibly get any worse.” YOU DOOMED YOURSELF SHINOHARA. Twins don’t work that way, Juzo. Such bad animation. The armor’s going on, shit just got real. Bob? Who’s Bob? REPLY TO ANGEL 3: “Is the armor their dad?” Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Pop. And then Kung Fu Ghoul Guy went all Fist of the North Star on Kaneki, after which there was much rejoicing. Huh, his kagune’s all different now. Wonder what’s up with that. HUNTER x HUNTER Meanwhile, Kurapika’s done with this show for the next several tens of episodes. As for Leorio, he’s going back to med school. Go fuck yourself, Milluki. At least, I’d only say that if you weren’t so fat. Oh good, now he’ll be able to get his license back. Zepile, you so crazy. Half a fortune ain’t no thang when you’ve got as much money as he does. Dude, that’s Dragon Ball you’re thinking of. For a second there, I thought he was gonna eat that cat. Oh hey it’s the kung fu loli from the OP. I love the way in which she runs. :-D Dat’s a huge bitch. They’re taking the long and difficult path out. Thank you, helpful skeevbag. Gon had the whole thing figured out all along. Killua, that’s cold. First Avdol’s debut, now a random voiceover from Killua’s dad? It’s official, this must be Chris Tergliafera week. I bet you anything Kishimoto ripped off the Chidori off of this. Killua’s family situation sure was rough. Just as I expected, kung fu loli and the token black dude made it. [KRAKOW!] 21 applicants, at least four of which are relevant. To celebrate, we will be having pizza and beer! :beer: The reverse finders keepers rule is a little sketchy, but the rest of that contract sounds pretty legit. Okay, now Leorio’s going back to med school. FUCK YEAH LIGHT RAIL SYSTEMS. Gon’s brain’s steaming again. JAN-KEN-PON! Hooray, Gon got in first! IT BEGINS! Oh look, another loli. This one’s pretty cute too, not as much as the kung fu one. This binder is giving me flashbacks to my Pokémon card collecting days. Huh, that sounds simpler than I expected. And now it’s getting complicated. Figures. >_> Thank you, tutorial loli. You are now aware that Ging Freecss and Akihiko Kayaba are the same dude. Lupin, Naruto and GITS to come tomorrow Wednesday because my sister (who just turned 20 yesterday) really loves her Netflix and chill is so goddamn picky about where she does her online classes that it makes me wanna punch something.

That's the key word: "fans". So of course those who hate SAO are gonna hate the movie.

It's called a running gag, Blatch.

Outlaw Star remaster? Outlaw Star remaster.

But seriously, as a sakugaf*g, I'm pretty hyped for this.

Nearly a century has passed since the fateful evening in which Jonathan Joestar sent the treacherous vampire Dio Brando to a watery grave at the cost of his own life. But now, in the mid-1980s, the coffin in which Dio spent those last hundred years has been salvaged from the depths of the Atlantic, granting the epitome of evil another chance at world domination... Meanwhile, Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's grandson who himself saved the world from the wrath of the Pillar Man Kars fifty years prior, has come to Japan at the request of his daughter Holly following news that his grandson, Jotaro Kujo, got arrested for general delinquency. But even more curious is that he refuses to leave his cell even after the charges have been cleared, as he claims an evil spirit has taken a hold of him... This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Joestar bloodline, one that could spell the end for it once and for all. Stay tuned for the premiere of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, tonight at midnight! Only Toonami. [because fuck VRV and crunchyroll] As for everything else, the block regains the 11PM hour as Vegeta takes a shot at Frieza using his own special power-up, followed by him taking a shot at Majin Buu with the powers granted to him by Babidi. (Man, this is weird mentioning him twice...) After all that and JoJo too, Aogiri Tree invades the special Ghoul-exclusive prison to recruit further backup for their mysterious (read: stupidly vague) plans, Gon and Killua build up their skills for the Greed Island player selection, Rebecca finally agrees to sign the papers for her and Lupin's divorce, the Nine-Tails-possessed Naruto brings the fight to Pain so hard the animation budget can hardly keep up, Section 9 makes their move against the Secretary General at the risk of being forcibly disbanded, and Titan season 2 restarts from the beginning as the Titans break through Wall Rose (but not really). 8:00 - Dragonball Super #26 - A Chance Appears in a Tight Spot!

At least we'll always have the disableds Adult Swim.

Alright, let's finish this. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN And just like that, a whole bunch of characters resigned themselves to their fate as being useless. For a second there, I was expecting her to scream to the heavens. But that wouldn’t be in Hinata’s character, now would it? Is it possible for a frog to drown? That’s an important question. Great, now I’m trying to look left and right at the same time. Four down, two to go. “This is the farthest that Pain has ever been pushed.” Okay, referring to yourself in the third person is kinda weird in this situation. FULL NELSON! Welp, he’s out, fight’s over. He’s in finally a situation where he’s still, so collecting Sage energy (even if it’s counterproductive) should be easy now. And it’s nice to see that Naruto knows that. And he put it to a creative use that actually slipped my mind there. That was a stupid move in hindsight, but at least he broke free. Oh yeah, I forgot about “the real one”. Welp, so much for that genjutsu. “You alright?” “Yeah. The same can’t be said for Shizune, though.” Again, can frogs even drown that fast? Meanwhile, the smart people are doing as smart people do and figuring out what the hell’s going on. This America’s Best chick reminds me of my sister and not in the good way. And then things went to shit super fast. BRAIN BLAST. You gotta love these impromptu ninja think tanks. Peace through destruction is kind of a shitty way of going about it. It’s an endless cycle of revenge. I don’t think ordinary men are capable of doing all the ninja stuff the people in this show do. So what you’re saying is… humanity was a mistake? “How would you confront this hatred in order to create peace?” Three words: Talk no Jutsu. Check out the crazy eye on the Eight-Tails in that group picture. Turns out Troy Baker was Vic Mignogna all along. FUN FACT: This episode had an post-credits omake where, in response to the content of this ED, Sakura accused Hinata of trying to usurp the title of “main female character” from her. Naruto defused the situation by revealing that the staff at Studio Pierrot are just huge fans of Hinata and her riding a bicycle was to fit the song lyrics. Sadly, that didn’t stop Sakura from destroying the set in her demand to have an ED all to herself next time. If the existence of the Emoji Movie is enough to make you lose your faith in humanity, the fact that it has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes (last I checked) is enough to restore it. IT’S TOSHIYUKI TSURU TIME. “Human beings are not the most intelligent of creatures.” Hey, I take offense to that! Okay, now it’s Toshiyuki Tsuru time. Yes, that’s what he just said in your flashback. Huh, black screen for the episode title. That’s new. Hmm, a rare Hinata’s mother sighting. Ah, the days in which Naruto used to be ostracized. WE GOTTA BE FASTER THAN WE WERE YESTERDAY. Gai seems pretty surprised that summoning frogs are even a thing. So much 10/10 visual direction. Sucks to be Shikamaru. Remember when Hinata got her ass kicked by her imouto? Well now you do. Oh shit, obvious bullies. Didn’t she already apologize to you three? “Pain’s chakra… is getting inside of me…” GAAAAAAAAAAY. Well, at least she wasn’t stabbed like Fukasaku. SUDDENLY HINATA. And that’s how she finally overcame her bashfulness. “Heeeeeeeee’s going to blow up the planet.” “BUT I LIVE HERE!” Now for a fight that’s for the most part anime-original because like I said before… Pierrot loves themselves some Hinata. Well… this isn’t going as smoothly as I hoped. TOKUYUKI MATSUTAKE SAKUGA SPOTTED. And now to finish that flashback from earlier. “I’m not ‘that kid’!” Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah you kinda are. QUALITY CLONE JUTSU. Turns out it was just a distraction. Childhood bullying is always painful. But hey, at least it led to some good. Shut up, random Hyuga guy. Trying real hard not to stare at her ass here. There’s plenty of time for that during the filler episodes. Naruto finds this more painful than all the times Sakura kicked his ass. Even the anime itself is shipping these two. :-D Atmospheric as fuck. And also super-depressing. AW SHIT NARUTO’S GONE MAD. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX The interactions between the Major and Sano were way more lez than I expected them to be. I also didn’t expect the refugee plotline in 2nd Gig to be foreshadowed like it was here. But either way, I think I like episode 23 more than I had before, now that I know what’s going on (somewhat). [corruption sucks]

And I'm suddenly reminded of why people bullied you off the boards.

See? This is why, whenever I go to the State Fair - that very same State Fair, mind you - the only rides I go on are the skylift and occasionally the giant slide.

But it is his fault that he only puts on shows he personally likes. For once, I want them to air something Demarco hates but is made exception for because, I dunno, Gill or Dana like it enough to show it to the masses.
