I feel sorry for your friends' disinterest in anything Japanese and animated. Anyways, I'm expecting a decent box office score that only barely fails to match the movie budget, and reviews that praise the visuals but pan the plot.

Says the guy who keeps striking out in Oklahoma City.

Demon Candy: Parallel 13

Speed Racer was exceptional. The critics just did not get it.

It's AO, and I'm actually in the same boat as you.

You should've seen him back when he was really active. I hear his first Zenigundam account got banned because he wouldn't shut up about a certain scene from the 2003 version of FMA.

Well, this is a new board, and he hasn't really done anything as bad as Moose did earlier this month.

If you don't have anything meaningful to contribute to the conversation, then you shouldn't comment at all. [busta]

Hmm, haven’t seen that meme before. And I’ve seen my share of JoJo memes. A BIT OF DIALOGUE Me: [turns TV on to TCM] Kiss Me Kate: “I… hate… men~.” Me: “Welp, that’s enough of that bullshit.” [starts watching recordings] Oh, so it’s gonna be Pipes for the entire month-long anniversary extravaganza, huh. Guess I can accept that. SAMURAI JACK I can’t believe it… a talking frog! And the wolf from last episode survived its deadly encounter! Those scenes with it and Jack healing in tandem were rather nice. Oh, and the action this episode was great too, especially when it went full Kubo with the all-white background. Wasn’t expecting him to kill that many sisters, though I have a feeling Ashi isn’t quite dead. Considering her placement in the credits and there being one line from the initial trailer she has yet to say. Either way, next episode looks to be something a little more light-hearted, or at the very least trippy. DRAGONBALL SUPER Wait, so did Beerus stab Goku to help him out with awakening his SSG powers further, or was he really that unimpressed? You’re supposed to say the title like it’s a question, narrator. Way to ruin the mood, Goten. Beerus is unimpressed by this filler nonsense. Vegeta’s SHAFT neck-tilt game is strong right now. Whis, you’re wonderful and it’s a shame that Vegeta can’t appreciate that fact. “I could’ve sworn he was right behind me…” The irony is, he’s actually right. BEERUS CHOP… DENIED. Heh, Beerus is trying his hardest to sound at least somewhat dignified while powering up. Oh hey, Satan City got a new welcome sign. The waves gain strength the farther they travel. Huh, must’ve missed that when I watched this last night. I assume that whole random pervy rant from the Elder Kai was what got this a TV-14. Your reaction’s pretty much mine too, Supreme Kai. Looks like they’re about to play a round of rock-paper-scissors instead of preparing to throw another set of punches. Can anyone else see the feline influence in Beerus’s screams? EL SHOCKWAVE NUMERO DOS. “It’s a real good thing our planet’s sturdier than most!” :-D This reporter. Mr. Satan, you are awesome. It’s a damn shame TFS apparently killed you off in their most recent episode. We can only hope you’re only very badly injured there. One best character saving another best character from sure peril. “Does… this mean we’re safe now, blue guy?” “From the falling spacecraft, yes. Overall, no.” DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED. Fuck yeah, classic Moltar video game review. Those MGS video graphics are dated as hell, but who even cares!? Energy aura dragons what the fuck. Okay, the delivery on Goku’s “BRING IT ON!” was perfect. Huh, no shockwave this time. STOMACH PUNCH. Not even Beerus can believe Goku’s approach to doing things. Goku’s philosophy is the same as Uvogin’s: be stronger than anyone or anything. Oh shit he prepping a Kamehameha. There’s your third shockwave. Maybe those are to blame for my headache last night. Huh, those random pauses on King Kai’s planet were weird. Was the Elder Kai ever that short? Oh look, another 14 set. [ufufu] The beam struggle to end all beam struggles… LITERALLY! > As destructive as that blinding light is, it sure is beautiful. Fuck yeah, the original Japanese music is back. TOP BILLING: Goku. Tom’s thoughts on GITS: ‘Murrica edition? To be determined, but already less B.S. than his and SARA’s hype for Sand Whale and Me. SAND WHALE AND ME I have a feeling this intro’s gonna stay the same for the whole series. Still don’t get what the video game angle is supposed to add to this. That statue looks awfully Japanese for what I assume is an alien planet. Now that’s what I call an air quality hazard! KFC appears to agree, hence why she’s wearing a respirator. SHAI HULUD MOTHERFUCKERS. The hell did that sand whale even do to her, that’s making her flop around like she got dragon-breath directly to the face like last episode? Sand whale bitches, I tell you what. Oh well, at least she’ll always have her Green Peace. Jury’s still trying to figure this one out. Ah yes, there’s your delicious sand whale meat. DBZ Kai will continue… right now! DRAGONBALL Z KAI Oddly eager? More like oddly smug. That’s more like it, narrator. [thumbs up] Don’t go there, Trunks. UNLUCKY THIRTEEN~! 18 vs. Mr. Satan. It’s like Bio-Broly all over again. THE STARTING LINEUP Krillin vs. Pintar Shin vs. Piccolo Videl vs. Spopovich Kibito vs. Great Saiyaman Android 18 vs. Mr. Satan Goku vs. Vegeta Mighty Mask vs. Killa Yamuu vs. Jewel Hee, that 18/Satan matchup image is pretty cute in a badass kinda way. Oh shut up, Human Genie. You had Mr. Satan’s curiosity; now you have his attention. That purple skin, white hair, and yellow earrings all look awfully familiar… Goku and Vegeta haven’t even fought since the Saiyan arc, right? Check it out, there’s furries in the band! Check this out too, Erasa and Sharpner showed up for the event. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GERMS. Erasa doesn’t know it, but her ship’s right on the mark. Is… that a giraffe-man? It’s weird seeing Yamcha be treated so nice. Then again, Cell did like him more than Vegeta and Tien (in abridged), so I guess it’s only natural at this point. Goody gumdrops? Does Goku getting blown up by Cell count as a loss? I’d think it does, even if King Kai was the biggest loser there. There it is. Poor, unfortunate Yamcha. “Who is gonna be king of the hill!?” Hank Hill, obviously. Screw you, Pintar. The air is as thick as Pintar’s body fat. “…and this appearance marks his turn after a long hiatus and no less than two deaths!” Marron is adorable. “Anyone else feel bad for Krillin?” Everyone. Everyone feels bad for Krillin. Coming this spring: My Newborn Can’t Be This Presidential! Reflexes… like a cat! RIGHT IN HIS DJEJUNUM. Way to go, Krillin! Up next: battle of the pointy-eared, color barrier-breaking extraterrestrials! Piccolo is mondo recognizable. You can do it, Piccolo! Overcome your nervousness and punch the smug right off that upstart’s face! Oh hey, it’s Toriyamabot! Crap, he just got creepier. So creepy it’s worth forfeiting over, apparently. Actually, he’s bound to the former guardian of this world. True, his life is tied to Kami’s, but it ain’t in any way tied to our one, our only, Super Kami Dende. Ha ha! Green gills. Whoa what the hell why are the instruments acting like this is a Disney flick? I don’t trust this Spopovitch guy. Clearly Shin does not like steroid abusers. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE This episode was amazing when I first watched it last July, and it’s still amazing now. That chariot race battle lived up to the hype and thensome – putting the director of the first Initial D anime in the storyboarder’s chair helped with that – and the final shot Joseph made at Wamuu was legitimately surprising. The wonderfully cheesy lines the dub crew put in like “If he only had on some other kind of footwear!” and “A little Hamon for you and the horse you rode in on!” only made it all the better. This episode was what convinced me to give this first season of JoJo a 10/10, and I’m glad to be able to rewatch it here with all you guys. Oh, so it’s both for personal revenge and the greater good. I can deal with that. TOKYO GHOUL Holy crap, even the bumps for this show are full of edge. Not even AgK started with this much of a want for the obvious target audience. Even the contracted assassins against the cannibal freaks are edgy as crap. “I should’ve known a big man like you would carry a small weapon.” I see a sex joke in there somewhere. EAT FISH WATER, FOOL. Oh good, all she did was steal his pliers. At least it looks pretty. Not even a couple seconds onscreen, and Hide’s already laughing like he’s on pot. “You can’t take her to a place called ‘Big Girl’.” Agreed, the name sounds stupid. I can’t watch this scene without thinking of the #TIBA abridgement of this, where Hide’s high as fuck and Touka threatens to pee on his face. Speaking of AgK, that chick who just walked in looks an awful lot like Sheele. “You and her would be like Beauty and the Bonehead.” But Kaneki isn’t even voiced by Joel McDonald! Blackmail for days? Blackmail for days. Uhh, I don’t think goats lay eggs. Oh man, is that a Ribwich? :420: And then Hide got a text from Touka asking if he still wanted to do that R. Kelly thing. These cops are pretty alright. STEAK STEAK STEAK STEAK STEAK. With that peep down her shirt, Kaneki started walking down the path to Sexual Harassment Overlord. Quick, grab the sandwich while she isn’t looking! Oh this is about to end badly. These CGI cars are the best characters. And now Touka wants to do the R. Kelly thing with Kaneki. Green traffic cones? Goddammit Japan. “Lemme show you what this mouth do~.” No, not the books, they were the best characters! Because the quiet ones are usually the freakiest. Little did Sheele know that running away actually means you’re more terrified than if you don’t. “I can’t afford to die, not again!” Oh look, he got stabbed to death through the torso by a crazy bitch. Just like Ayumu and Issei before him. INCOMING GIRDERS! “How… could this… happen…?” It happened because of poor engineering judgement. Only in this case, it wasn’t as poor as it could’ve been. At least she wasn’t consumed by a giant demon dog this time. Oh boy, afterlife sex! Black sclera and red pupil. That doesn’t spell any good. And neither does his distaste for grilled salmon, apparently. Hide’s gonna go back to listening to his unbearably loud rap music now. Everything tastes disgusting? It’s official, get this kid a tongue transplant ASAP! Okay seriously, Hide is the best character. ”You are the Power Rangers, while I am the one who knocks.” Thank you for your wise insight, Fuhrer King Bradley. Like I said, tongue transplants are the way to go. He screamed because he squirted the spicy stuff onto his mutant tongue. I don’t think that’s how cooking hamburger works. Hide is a total bro, it’s a shame that he’s stuck in a series full of edgelords. OW THE EDGE. “This is all your fault, Sheele!” Either he’s a Ghoul or that was a shitty kitchen knife. Oh no, he’s giving into the edge. Especially now that he’s too edgy for knives. “Where is it where is it where is-FUCKING MILK CRATES!” As he feared, it was human flesh all along. This ghoul seems like a pretty chill guy. AND HERE COMES GLASSES GUY TO FUCK EVERYTHING UP. Rape allegories? Yep, this is officially the spiritual successor to SAO on Toonami, no doubt about it. Fuck you, glasses guy. >( In which Lyuze tells Casshern to leave Ayumu alone. Thank you, Touka. “Part of me wants to shove it in my mouth, but I know I can’t!” That’s how closet homosexuals feel every day. And then she gave him a hand, like she promised. Better than her pee in his mouth, that’s for sure. TOP BILLING: Kaneki. Alright, I wasn’t expecting that little end bit, that was pretty good. HUNTER x HUNTER Personally, I’m curious as to what those other three Shadow Beasts’ powers are. Especially Porcupine’s. “Alright, ladies and gentleman, the game… is Crazy Eights.” Where’s the fucking merchandise? WORM PUNCH! Worm… punched. He’s focusing his Nen! Which user does that sort of thing again? Now that’s a Big Bang Attack. Kurapika is now 100% pissed off. Ooh, deadly body hair. Meanwhile, this guy’s a Ghoul. Way to go, waifu! ;D Oh boy, now that’s the real freaky power. And it makes you pee something more painful than kidney stones. Joy. He… He just ate that guy’s head! ::spin:: Thank god it was the disgusting one. Admit it, Kurapika, you knew they were going to lose as soon as they first appeared. HARD. CORE. [long, sustained yelling] Uvo may be a bad guy, but I honestly enjoy seeing him kill all these scrubs in insane ways. Kurapika is now officially ready to kill some motherfuckers. :-D REPLY TO ANGEL: “Again, can't that one dude literally rewrite reality with his shitty poems?” Yes, but remember, one’s Nen is only as strong as the person using it. And Basho certainly isn’t as strong as Uvogin. Suddenly, a field of flowers brought on by the sound of a flute? Well, we the audience know about the Nen stitches, the Nen bullets, and my murder waifu’s vacuum cleaner. So… that’s a start. Kurapika/Melody is my main hetero ship in this show. Clearly you gotta pee the leeches out. Or maybe Buff Blonde kid can do something about it, why not. Peeing them out was the solution all along. [Tarzan screech] Don’t forget the beer! Huh, Worm still had a little bit in him after all. Kurapika ain’t fuckin’ around, Uvo. Oh, so he’s an Enhancer. He conjured a tiny knife inside his heart. Now that is hardcore. “Kurapika, the road! Don’t forget the road!” The Bite-Size Beat still sounds and looks like crap. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 Oh good, they’re finally starting to fast-track the already lengthy recaps. Well, only slightly, that is. Long story short, Loni’s a c-word. So much for your heavy weaponry, guys! Dammit Banagher, don’t blame them for what’s clearly the doing of that Karen Strassman-voiced bitch. Zinnerman’s gone full Holland Novak Parenting Skills now. You’re biting the hand that feeds you, Banagher. > Holy shit Banagher actually kicked him in the nads. Good job staying out of this, Patrick Seitz. I don’t even know what mechs are on which side in this fight. All I know is that Loni’s killing innocent women and children for no reason and Banagher just kicked Zinnerman in the nuts. That’s pretty much all this episode has been so far. “Aren’t you on standby?” “Yeah, I’m standing by waiting for you to launch this damn thing!” Zinnerman just doesn’t wanna be kicked in the face again, let alone his twins. I don’t like her either, guy. I am literally flipping Loni off right now. Thanks, Riddhe, wherever you’ve been. So the solution to the main conflict in that Boss Baby movie? EUTHANASIA! Oh bullshit, curses can be broken if you try hard enough. “Without this… I have nothing to live for!” Then kill yourself, you’ve already shitted up this show enough with your senseless slaughter. Wait, you mean that daring maneuver actually worked? Yeahhhhhhh don’t really care about that dude who just stabbed himself with his gun for some reason. FUCK YOU LONI. Gundam powers, activate! And then Bright had flashbacks to another one of his series; not sure which one. FUCK YOU TOO LONI’S DEAD DAD. He may be a hypocrite, but you’re a c*nt. She’s mentally regressed so much that she’s capable of saying only two words. What the fuck are you doing Banagher just listen to Blonde Sasuke and kill the damn girl already. Thanks, Riddhe. Thanks to you, it’s finally over. Loni is dead, and no one but Banagher cares. Now Riddhe’s gonna shoot Banagher for being such an indecisive fuckup. EVIL TWIN! EVIL TWIN! EVIL TWIN! Like I said before, you could always just buy concealer. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Oh look, another obscure Kiguma reference. “We’re boned, right?” “So, so boned.” They’re lucky that the forbidden jutsu in question doesn’t work on the person using it and others if they’re close enough. If there’s no blood, then chances are they’re still alive. Unless their name happens to be Mine, otherwise shenanigans. RAMIEL NO JUTSU. And this is supposed to be TV-PGL? Turns out they were just wood clones, so it’s A-OK! SAKURA PUNCH. Oh, and ink clones too. Now the odds are slightly more even. AHH! A FIREWALL! Hell yeah, bubble handcuffs. NARUTO PUNCH. The two sides of the coin in this case: freeing his hands was foolish, but they’re lucky he’s unable to properly attack with them now. This is a dilemma that Naruto and Utakata have to fix on their own. “Patricide? How dare you!” Utakata has a point, it’s not like he killed his master on purpose, for as much as he disliked him in the heat of the moment. The thoughts of Jiraiya’s he’s feeling now? His decision to name the sequel to the story of his life after Naruto. Regardless, it’s kind of a relief that he isn’t using Sasuke as an example of one of his personal bonds. At this point, absorbing the chakra is the only thing he can do. And then he found himself in a work by Kubo. Acceptance. And now mutually assured destruction. A single Rasengan was enough to do it. Thank you, Jinchuriki powers. Sai and Yamato feel left out. Of the two filler characters voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas, I think I can finally say, Utakata > Sora. And you’re gonna keep missing him. I’ll admit, that’s a pretty nice-looking field. “Did something happen to them?” Yeah, they had a run-in with a giant dog. His bark was bad, but his bite was worse. Now that’s a bad omen. Pain showed up, that’s even worse. And then Hotaru was left hanging for a ridiculously lengthy amount of time. Those bubbles contain his final will and testament. Don’t really blame her for dancing in that field, honestly. Definitely one of the more heartbreaking endings for a filler arc. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX Huh, no opening theme this time. Must’ve cut it due to Sand Whale and the Tokyo Ghoul premiere. [glances at scrolling text on title screen] Oh, so that’s what IV stands for… That little girl is pretty cute. Hopefully the mishap wasn’t part of some conspiracy. Took me long enough to learn that Motoko’s question was out of sympathy. Pigs with giant barcodes tattooed on their sides. I always thought that was pretty cool. I always loved this Jameson guy. The pig face icons in place of the password asterisks, and the CEO’s Jameson-type body as the cursor on the website are just two of the little things I love about this show. It’s a real shame Boma never got his own episode. Thank god for tracer bullets. Those people in the restaurant who saw the (invisible) Tachikoma racing across it. For a second, I was confused why those vehicles stopped, but I guess that ALERT was what done did it. The main medical student’s name: Tomoaki Kokita. Also, that’s not black hair. Oh boy! More terribly dated CGI from Toonami’s heyday! :-D And that’s another uncensored profanity for the books. This guy’s worry amuses me. FUCKING OIL CANS! Of course Togusa would think that was a little much. The Major’s obviously taking this one personally. Hey, anyone can be a yakuza if they try hard enough. Door’s bent inward, window’s blocked by steel bars… This guy’s luck just ran out. BEAUCOUP BUCKS. Welp, that guy’s traumatized for life. Poor Tachikoma. I always liked that piece of exercise equipment Batou had. “Stop hitting yourself.” Was that a fucking Patlabor reference? [it’s oshii’s block now]

And stop posting that! It's annoying!

That's not a plot hole, that's just plot convenience. Learn the difference.

Did you not see the next episode preview where he's taking advantage of all these trippy-looking creatures to escape a vat of acid? Goddammit Zeni, you really are the busta to end all bustas.

Don't question his motivations, kink-shamer. Besides, it's completionism.

Dragonball Super 12 To Love-Ru 4 Tokyo Soul [purple-hairs be crazy]

Hey, we need a new gateway anime of the worst kind now that the Naruto anime's over, and it's too early to pass the torch onto Boruto just yet.

Maybe, but the real question is, is it better or worse than the Greg Ayres cover version?

March Comes in Like a Lion #20 - Kyoto March Comes in Like a Lion #21 - When the Cherry Blossoms Bloom / Small Murmur March Comes in Like a Lion #22 - New School Term / Fighter Tonight I'm going to do as I did 3 months ago and watch To Love-Ru after Dragonball Super. Beerus wanting to destroy the Earth over something as stupid as spoiled pudding should help make Rito's next near-death experience at Haruna's hands all the easier to deal with. If not, then there's always Black Cat to follow it up with. [then my life won't be plain]

March Comes in Like a Lion 22

Not really, no. I just felt like staying up tonight.

The series opener has the MC go out on a date with the girl for the first time, with the implication that something ugly's about to happen to him right near the end of it. If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought [as] picked up High School DxD. But of course Tokyo Ghoul makes more sense. [censorship sucks]

The appointed hour has arisen. Though the lip ring containing the antidote needed to keep the ring inside him from dissolving is within his grasp, Joseph Joestar has one final task to accomplish before he can consider himself worthy of taking it: attaining victory in his rematch with Wamuu. The battleground is a stone circle in the Northernmost regions of Italy; the competition is a chariot race to the death; and both the millenia-old Pillar Man and our cocky young upstart of a protagonist are in it to win it. A battle of strategy, wit, and all-out insanity is about to begin, the likes of which have never been seen before... In slightly similar veins, the remaining six Daughters of Aku continue their hunt for a badly wounded and almost naked Jack, the battle between Goku and Beerus gets so intense that the universe can't even handle it, the soldier known only as KFC continues her repetitive hunt for delicious sand whale meat, Piccolo's strange feeling about that Shin kid only grows as the tournament nears its beginning, ordinary college student Ken Kaneki's first date with a girl ever doesn't go as well as he hoped it would (hmm, sounds familiar...), the Shadow Beasts try their hand at taking down the Phantom Troupe's resident big guy Uvogin, Banagher tries to stop Loni from massacring innocents because of Newtype fuckery, the book finally closes on the shortest Shippuden filler arc thus far (and yet it still feels like a total drag), and the Major and Togusa look into a recent string of mass naked child events illegal organ transplant donations. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #12 - The Universe Will Shatter?

He is also some kind of rodent. [i don't know which]
