Was Dave Mallow still the narrator, or was it David Vincent like last season?

Yona of the Dawn 7 Also, can you believe that this site's old URL doesn't work anymore?

OH FUCK YOU.

You really are this board's Lisa Simpson.

Were you not there when he reiterated [as]'s bump that One Punch Man was better? (Also, what's with you quoting the entire damn opening post when you're the first one to reply? It's really redundant and unnecessary.)

Not all Toonami fans are weebs, and I wish the writer of that article had enough sense to figure that out.

As many of you probably know (and most of you definitely don’t care), I was gone for a week, meaning I have two weeks’ worth of shows to catch up on. As doing so in one sitting would be poor for my health and my family’s patience, I’m going to split things up into four divisions. Today will be the Dragonballs, Tuesday will be Titan and Ghoul, and while I haven’t picked out the other days yet, day 3 is Hunter and Lupin, and day 4 is Naruto and GITS. Works out quite well, actually. DRAGONBALL SUPER DB Super being at the start of the block again but no longer having the full OP is complete bullshit. You say it’s an epic grudge match, but it sure as hell doesn’t look that way. SUPER SAIYAN GOD SUPER SAIYAN WITH BLUE HAIR DYE. Well at least things are looking better quality-wise this episode. “Goku just showed his ace card…” Trump card, Krillin, the correct phrase is “trump card”. Looks like Jaco’s finally overcome his cowardice. FUCK YOU GALAXY POLICE. He’s fast! But not fast enough, apparently. An ego reader? Is that even a thing? I recognize that pose! Sick burn, Krillin. [hallelujah] We Shiny Golden Frieza now. And what does this one sound like? Hooray for simplicity! If there’s one thing I can say about this fight… at least it wasn’t animated in CGI. “That sounds like a subjective claim that’s impossible to prove.” My exact thoughts whenever someone criticizes a show I like. Which is often. For some reason I kinda like Beerus when he’s all nonviolent like this. And then they met their alternate universe counterparts. And they appear to know each other too. Well that was a nice little interlude. Meanwhile, more beam struggles. DUCK AND COVER! You weren’t listening, Vegeta. SUNDAE TIME. ;D Brain fruit. Why yes, Beerus can speak with his mouth closed. Why do all the close-up shots look so much better than the far-away ones. It’s only natural to be shocked by Beerus’s presence. The Destroyer just doesn’t give a fuck. Oh Jaco, will you ever learn? JUDO CHOP! TOP BILLING: Frieza. By the way, if we’re gonna be talking about more than just the currently airing Toonami anime in this thread, I’d like to mention I’ve been rewatching Dimension W. Currently 7 for 12, and I still like it more than you. COMPLETE. BULLSHIT. “If Frieza can’t be overpowered, is there another way?” I’d make a joke that’s way too soon here, but I won’t. After Nana to Kaoru, I will never hear the term “breather” the same way again. KIDNEY PUNCH KIDNEY PUNCH KIDNEY PUNCH. Whis and Beerus know what they’re talking about. “Go Vegeta! Fight next to Goku!” “Fuck off!” And that’s why pride is one of the sins; it makes trouble for those around you if it exceeds a certain level. Biting the tail always works, apparently. Okay, maybe “poorly animated” was the wrong way to describe this fight. QUALITY, sure, but not poorly animated. Frieza, you fool, you should know it’s impossible to humiliate Goku! I’ll admit, the Kai flashbacks kinda spooked me. You guys do realize Goku can still use his le-oh never mind then. “I can’t sense his power either.” Dammit, Gohan, you’re supposed to be the smart one! You should know better than anyone that Super Saiyan Blue energy can’t be sensed! TWO-BASTARD RULE: ACHIEVED. What even is that arm-flapping? Goku’s attempts to convince people to wait are kind of adorable, even when overpowered by Chi-Chi being a complete c-word. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He’s about to turntables. A kernel of truth… or a curdle of truth? OH MAN THOSE ACOUSTICS. Nothing to talk about here, just power creep. Okay, now it’s poorly animated. DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA. He really does love that pose, doesn’t he? The headpunch… it does nothing! Wait, were those two plotting something in secret? Goku sounds slightly different when he’s smart. Part of me is wondering how much of Frieza’s tantrum is true, if any. Well that was completely sudden. Sorbet fired that laser out of his ring, that shit is not a “common ray gun”. IT’S VEGETA TIME NOW. TOP BILLING: Also Frieza, this time with Daman Mills as the COPD/emphysema-afflicted Chris Ayres’ voice double. “You’re as good as your reputation.” Not entirely sure what she means by that. DRAGONBALL Z KAI In which Vegeta realized that sleeping with Bulma was the worst mistake of his life. Meanwhile, Gohan ruins everything. HEADBANGERS. It’s amazing how much better Toei’s animation was in the ‘90s than it is today. Those must be some pretty weird nightmares then. It really hasn’t been drilled into you how stubborn Saiyans are, has it, Supreme Kai? I’m kinda liking this low-key techno music. He’s like a giant pink manchild. Heyyyyyyyy~! “You’re just buying into the hype, which I am!” Goku just realized that they’re in deep shit… and he hasn’t even reached Super Saiyan 3 yet! HE’S GONNA DUMP. That was so out of nowhere I couldn’t help but laugh. Now Shin looks like he’s gonna dump. “…he’s nothing more than a pudgy pink simpleton.” “Buu takes offense to that!” Steam coming out the ears, just like in my 1920s cartoons. Hot air that can blind a man with a single punch! Suck it, Dabura. Apparently insulting Buu is what it takes to make him get serious. Rescuing Eren is important and all, but the real question is, is Krista safe? Those kids have no idea what they’re in for. Vegeta can’t afford to think about his family right now, especially when he’s in the middle of a good fight. Let it never be said that Goku isn’t more often than not an idiot. Huh, I just realized Senzu beans look just like edamame. Well, at least he was telling the truth about going to fight Buu. Clearly that means you’re a really sucky Supreme Kai. KILL THEM DEAD. H-HAYAI! "Now crush them, crush them into pieces!" I believe the actual phrase is, "crush them into paste." And that's why I didn't say "and down goes Gohan". You gotta love Buu's evil face. He's WOOPWOOPing. TOP BILLING: Goku. BOTTOM BILLING: Gohan. You know, even though I know today's a Sunday, it doesn't really feel like it. Must be that vacation mindset. Suck it, Supreme Kai. WOOP WOOP. Shin's such a pussy I'm surprised he's even got the title he has. BUU used HAKI! IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! And then he used the Atomic Butt-Drop on him. GOHAN used DYNAMIC ENTRY! IT'S... not really all that effective. Oh, did Shin just die now? Or is he just passed out? Time for a food break. SUDDENLY A SPEAR! Oh hey, Dabura's alive and his eyes still work. Meanwhile, Goten and Trunks have finally made it to the plot. Lemme guess, they're going to think Dabura is Buu. Oh hey, how'd the Piccolo statue get there? DO NOT TOUCH THE PETRIFICATION. And then they ruined everything. ::: Those are some wise words you've got there, Dabura. URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI! If an energy blast couldn't destroy Buu, I doubt a spear could accomplish the same. Frightening. Oh look, a promo for an Attack on Titan episode I haven't seen yet. Aaaaaaaand skipped. But is he really dead? Is he really? BUU EAT YOU x10+. Of course, all Dabura has don thus far has done nothing, and I doubt anything that may follow ever will. Now that is an interesting transformation. One I've had experience in proofreading, in fact. In just one bite. Even Goten and Trunks are confused by Buu's powers. Turns out killing Dabura's the only way to reverse the effects of the stone transformation, even when that person is broken. Piccolo sounds way deeper than normal. I think Shin should be transformed into a giant Twizzler. IT'S VEGETA TIME AGAIN, I ASSUME. TOP BILLING: Goten, proving Kai saps all the fun out of this form of cast list.

At the hotel in Charlotte, NC I stayed in last night, yes.

I know I haven't watched this week's shows yet, but I'm doing this anyway because it's my duty as the new, younger, much more agreeable Meta. I'd say "less douchey", but I've already got Jingai calling me a pissant for telling him to stop dissing JoJo, so... Tonight on Toonami, Goku and Frieza's poorly animated rematch continues, the Supreme Kai and Gohan find themselves at great odds against Majin Buu, Eren goes up against the Titan that killed his mother in the season finale of Attack on Titan, Aogiri Tree enacts a prison break for one of Jason's old underlings, Gon and Killua finally do what they came to Yorknew to do: buy themselves a copy of Greed Island, Fujiko uses her powers of seduction to learn the secrets of the magician world, Hinata steps in to help Naruto out against Pain but more importantly IT'S A GODDAMN TOSHIYUKI TSURU EPISODE, and the full story behind the Laughing Man's kidnapping of Ernest Serano is revealed as a repeat of that same kidnapping takes place. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #25 - A Full-Throttle Battle!

Dimension W 6-7 If I was Elfie, this would be the point where I'd either interrupt or follow up this listing with an unfunny and unneeded rant on how a power outage prevented me from posting this right when I planned it.

Why not?

Toei being dickwaffles, I'm sure.

Yes, but does GT really count?

Okay, getting a little too overdramatic there.

I really fucking wish you wouldn't use that phrase, JoJo-hating scum. >(

You'd think that me actually skipping the block this week would improve the ratings, but apparently not.

Dimension W 4-5 yesterday, Yona of the Dawn 6 this morning.

I don't know what I hate most about this thread: Karin being quoted, you voicing your opinion on her in the title, or you getting the whole "why Sarada looks like Karin" thing flat-out wrong.

TELL ME HOW TO BLOCK YOU YOU HACK.

Hey, it took Parasyte 26 years to get an adaptation, and it's only been 20 years since Exaxxion. It's unlikely, sure, but there's still a chance.

Rewatched Dimension W 1-3. ... What? I have to put that DVD/BD set to some use. ::]::

That decision was indeed questionable, and while that could easily be chalked up to the writers having no idea what they're doing with the anime original route season 2 is taking, my non-cheap explanation pretty much boils down to two possibilities. 1. After awakening and accepting his Ghoul powers, Kaneki realized he no longer needed Anteiku's support for his survival as a half-Ghoul, and chose to join Aogiri Tree out of the fact that they're the only other Ghoul faction he can sorta-safely run with; Eto showed reasonable interest in him, and the only member seen thus far he really has to worry about is Ayato, who he could easily take considering what he did to defeat Yamori. 2. Like with Yamori after his time with the disturbed CCG inspector, the torture Kaneki suffered through rewired his brain to emulate his abuser, only instead of torturing others the same way Yamori tortured him, he took his place in Aogiri Tree. So both pretty much boil down to "Kaneki's got brain problems". Tonight on Toonami, Goku showed Frieza his fancy new power-up so now it's time to return the favor, Majin Buu has been freed from his egg and his (physical) appearance is raising more than just a few eyebrows among heroes and villains alike, never ever take Eren away from Mikasa if you value your life, the Anteiku Ghouls deal with the weirdest "dating your abuser" allegory ever in the form of Kaneki leaving them for Aogiri Tree, Kurapika meets with Pakunoda to complete the agreed-upon hostage exchange, Jigen pays a visit to the local dentist, with few options left Naruto and Fukasaku agree to a last-ditch effort in destroying Pain's last body, and Section 9's attempted rescue of Imakurusu prompts the DEA to send some of their other assassins after Aramaki and the Major. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #25 - A Full-Throttle Battle!

Don't have too much fun without me now.

Girls und Panzer 4 Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor 12

Rewatched Lupin the 3rd: The Italian Adventure 3, Made in Abyss 1, and Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor 11. Also, I'm gonna wait until the simuldub comes out to resume Konbini Kareshi. If we're lucky, it won't have the same audio issues as before.
