BUU8800[/member] My sister forgot the same thing when she saw Jamie Foxx's junk in Django Unchained. Ginguy[/member] You used to be fun. : (

Don't be a jerk, new guy.

Well you did and it was glorious, even if you don't think so personally. I already miss the Pipes bumps. SAMURAI JACK That transport ship looks like R2-D2 meets the Death Star. And that one passenger reminds me a little of Zorak. But not as much as last week’s villain reminded me of Moltar (and his true face C. Martin Croker). Are those Woolies? Yep, those are Woolies. Flashbacks to previous CN-era episodes? I’m liking this one already. “You’re supposed to get off when you land!” I like that she’s still holding onto her weapon. What the hell static. YESSSSS SCARAMOUCH LIVES! I love this bot, no homo. Oh hey, I recognize those archers. Nice statue. The butterflies are a nice touch. That episode had really good atmosphere to it. Isn’t that the city from the Scotsman two-parter? Down to #3. The third act of a two-act play. That’s one slick sailor. Pretty sure that sign wasn’t there before. Is it wrong of me to want to know what happened to that guy’s head? “Looked like a talking penis.” > Holy crap show I never knew you had it in you. Is that some fucking rave music I hear? SHAKE IT BAKE IT BOOTY QUAKE IT ROLL IT AROOOOOOUND DON’T FAKE IT. I recognize that DJ! We musical now? I never knew I needed Ashi dancing in my life. Fuck yeah a new Clyde bump. I’m sure this waterfall holds some significance. This is not the nudity I was expecting. This is not the nudity I was expecting at all. CANNONBALL! So the bodysuit wasn’t a bodysuit after all. Slightly disappointed. : ( Now this is the nudity I was expecting. :-D Nature makes the greenest clothes. Ah, subtle anti-sexism. The best and only good kind of anti-sexism. Scaramouch just doesn’t give a fuck. Sooooo close. I recognize that place too! I can only imagine how Da Samoorai aged over the past fifty. Wasn’t expecting him to be the bartender. All these damaged bounty hunters are cracking me up. Walking boombox? Funky swordfighting names? This truly is the flashback we deserve. OH SHIT IT’S DEMONGO. And he just left. Some straight-up freaks indeed. Now who’s this midget? A complete mystery, apparently. Was that the graveyard from that time Jack fought all those zombies and Aku too? Oh shit he’s about to sudoku seppuku himself. AND SHE CAN SEE SWIGGITY SWAG THE NIGHTMARE STAG TOO! [pays attention to awesome and dramatic fight scene] JACK IS BACK BABY. “Yeah, that’s right, go back into your graves…” And now the quest for the sword begins anew. I had a feeling David Alan Grier didn’t return to voice Da Samoorai, but Keegan-Michael Key is an acceptable substitute. DRAGONBALL SUPER This OP sounds quieter than normal. And the rest of the episode too! She spent 100 million zeni in that short a time? For Super Kami Dende’s sake, Chi-Chi, no wonder people hate you. Even Goku thinks that’s ridiculous. Meanwhile, with the superior couple… They really are cute together. <3 “I will surpass you, Kakarot, I swear it… Now if only I could find a way to free my feet from this damned rock!” IT’S SATAN TIME, BITCHES. What’s that book Buu’s reading? SATAN IN THE HOUSE. Radar poodle? I’m already liking this story. Lord Beavis. Sibilance. Sssssssibilance. That tuft of white hair makes Beerus look like someone’s fursona. SUPER SATAN! Roshi’s gonna rewatch his favorite porn now. HAIL SATAN! HAIL SATAN! HAIL SATAN! “It’s coming right for us!!” Of course it’s an alien. It’s always aliens. Squid Cop needs to be a real movie. Oh my, more furries. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK. It’s a pretty medal, I’ll give them that. 200% at least. Stomach pains: the oldest (and best) trick in the book. GOHAN FAILS AT COOKING LOL. “How did they get that ring set up in such a short time!?” Wait, do Goten and Trunks even go to school? Good timing, Goku. “Things have somehow gotten weirder.” After Sand Whale and Me, I don’t see how they can. Face it Goku, you wanna train more than ever now that Chi-Chi’s forbidding it. Ah, shut up, crowd. Piccolo’s starting to regret being Gohan’s dad, because it also means being Chi-Chi’s other husband. Oh goddammit Chi-Chi. SATAN PUNCH. And then Goku flew away. Ah, shut up, crowd. Saved by Satan’s dog. Can’t say I saw that one coming. How ironic, that the dog aliens are afraid of actual dogs. Fuck yeah, Satan. Fuck you, Chi-Chi. TOP BILLING: Mr. Satan. “I’m gonna kill you and every person you know.” Not if he kills you and everyone you know first, motherfucker! DRAGONBALL Z KAI Last time, Gohan jobbed and jobbed hard because of that Supreme Kai fucker. Get this man a Senzu bean! Welcome to the DBZ universe, girl. He actually pinched her. Vegeta is so narcissistic. And he hates being left out, apparently. Gohan/Videl may be a good couple, but Krillin/18 is best. “This boy needs a doctor!” “I’m a doctor!” It’s funny seeing Satan freak out about Gohan and Videl, considering they’re about to have a kid in Super. SMOOOOTH. The second-best couple indeed. OG Dragonball is way better than Super when it comes to canon stuff. Smoke and mirrors. All those poor people around Chi-Chi. “My lucky sunhat!” Exposition time! Man, I haven’t seen this guy (ha) but I hate Buu already. Still, this sure is some interesting exposition. Bibidi, Babidi, Buu? Vegeta knows how best Whis is; good on him. Videl can be so tsundere sometimes. I’d punch those two in the face were they not all veiny and technically cartoons. Welcome to pterodactyl country. If you don’t wanna fly, try riding on his back. Or just turn around, that works too. Okay, maybe Gohan/Videl ties with Krillin/18 for best DBZ couple. How long have they all been flying? Majin headquarters is an interesting-looking place. It’s amazing how quickly they’ve come to care. Oh no, a dead fam-wait does that kid have a mohawk what the actual hell. But which one is Babidi? Probably the one without the M on his head. ATTACK ON TITAN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO I’d post the recap video here, but there’s Tokyo Ghoul spoilers, so… that’s a no go. Actually, never mind, Armin’s providing a sufficient recap for all of us instead. That sure was some freaky music we just heard. Yep, the Titans are in the walls. And they’re alive too! Aw crap, that dude survived his church getting wrecked. SASAGE YO SASAGE YO SHINZOU WO SASAGE YO. Apparently we’re getting simple with our episode titles now. Oh hey, it’s those two MP guys. Well, one MP guy and one MP girl. “Do you know who I am!?” Not really, no. Goddamn Hanji I think I love you. Wait, Titans have breached the secondary wall? H-How!? [12 hours earlier] Ohhh yeah a well-deserved explanation. So Sasha was an outcast in her village, huh? Bears… are crazy. Wait, so we’re not even gonna learn how they broke through the wall? That’s cheap, show. You guys may be doomed, but at least you’re going out to a kickass drumline. CONSPICUOUS CGI STAMPEDE. Connie’s got PTSD pretty bad, and he hasn’t even gotten to experience the trauma yet. Well, at least some of these Titans look fairly normal. H-HAYAI! “Holy shit!” Holy shit indeed, Connie. Nice pompadour, dude. You’re gonna be eating those words eventually, dude. Yes, Armin, we know. I miss Eren’s hot mom. “I just had this bizarre dream, where I had an Italian accent and was fighting some weird Aztec vampire with bubbles…” Ah yes, the scarf of badassery. Yes, Armin, we know. [cue the screeching fangirls] Now that’s a freaky-looking Titan. Like a howler monkey, or some other kind of primate. “Mmm... horse.” AND THEN HE THREW THE DAMN THING. “My legs!” HOLY SHIT IT CAN SPEAK. Well, at least he crushed the head of the ugliest one. OH NO HE’S HOT. Too disturbed to answer, huh? It’s amazing how quickly he goes from scared to determined to back to scared. All I can say there is… poor dude. TOP BILLING: I’d assume Miche, since Eren didn’t have all that many lines, and neither did Mikasa nor Armin. Well, at least the TV version of this ED cut out the freakiest parts. TOKYO GHOUL I habeeb it’s pronounced “ma chere”. This guy is soooooo gay for Kaneki. Sooooooo gay. And he’s a Parasyte too. Joy. It’s like wiping your ass with silk. That school friend of Touka’s is pretty cute. “It’s like a party in my mouth and everyone’s throwing up.” In other words, she’s totally saying that to spare your feelings. Wait, so can Ghouls drink water too? Or does that just aid in the whole purging process? Or maybe she’s trying to overcome her instinctive distaste for normal food. That’s actually kinda better than the other thing. He’s baaaaaaack~. Kami University: Founded by Mr. Popo. Whereas Nishiki looked like he was trying to rape Kaneki, this Tsukiyama guy appears to be flirting with him instead. Ladybugs. And that’s when Kaneki discovered he was bisexual. I just wanna know who this Takatsuki chick even looks like. Speaking of Rize, TV Tropes listed her as a “Complete Monster”, so it’s weird that I like her more than that shit-eater Nishiki. >( I thought all Ghouls loved books. Must be a “small world” scenario among the rarity, then. He just came. From his heart. Self-defense training, go! I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS! Once again, it’s proven that most of Jamie Marchi’s characters look and sound like total sluts. Lemme guess, Yomo is this “Rain” dude she’s talking about? I like these three, they seem pretty fun compared to Nishiki and at times Touka. Another half-Ghoul? Inconceivable! Fuck yeah, recessive genes! Hmm, so the accident wasn’t an accident after all. Guess us engineers had our hands clean the whole time after all. And before he knew it, he was on a gay date. Okay, maybe TV Tropes wasn’t so crazy after all. I love this dude and his gratuitous French. Kaneki already has a bad feeling about this “hangout”. He’s gonna masturbate with that bloody kerchief. Breathplay works too, if that’s how he gets his rocks off. It feels so weird hearing Ed Blaylock’s voice now. A shower? A fresh butler outfit? I have a feeling something kinky’s about to go down. …I think I just found my new avatar for the next few months. <3 IT’S UPSTAIRS SEX DUNGEON TIME, BABY. All these masqueraders are nice and all, but what’s up with that dude in the cheap clown mask? Eh, cannibalism’s pretty kinky, if you’re fucked in the head enough. :-\ Gentlemen… behold! Mister Eminem! In which Kaneki defies all clichés and recognizes Tsukiyama almost immediately. Someone’s gonna be jacking off with that kerchief soon enough. I knew the mask fetishist in me would like this show. …That dude ain’t little, but I can see how he got that name. Oh god now he’s singing. ::: But before the preparation, a little pre-game chase. BULLFIGHTING MANEUVER! Hey, Yomo was right about him being a good dodger. Piccolo would be proud. “Whoa, bloody floor!” Should’ve guessed that the coffee was spiked. “Angel statue in the corner, lend me your streeeeeength!!” FUCK YEAH KANEKI. Tsukiyama’s boner… IS MAXIMUM! Shut up, lady. Even when he kills, he never stops being fabulous. TOP BILLING: Tsukiyama, as it should be. Kaneki almost got himself eaten this episode thanks to Tsukiyama, doing gay stuff with him is a little much at this point. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “They cancelled One Piece for this.” And you only have Demarco to blame. At this point, it’s best to just have fun with it until something good comes to replace it in turn. Apparently FUNi is broadcast-dubbing this on a week-by-week basis. Commentary aside, FUCK YEAH SASHA EPISODE. HUNTER x HUNTER Well, Kurapika already killed one, maybe you could convince him to dig up the body he buried so you could turn it in for cash. Gon, you are one crazy son of a bitch. A bitch whose identity we don’t even know. Southern Peace? Is that any different from Yorknew? Leorio is so simple-minded. That’s a cool knife, I can believe that a mass murder came up with the design concept for it. Ooh, I like this type of market. 500 x 2.5 = 1250 3 for 4, that’s pretty good for your first try. Well, at least Killua isn’t lying about the whole “having a dad” thing. And 2 for 3 among those is decent also. :-D Thank you, rare type of wood! Yes, finally, it’s that guy from the ending theme I kept asking about! I like his eyebrows. IT’S OVER, THE UMBRELLA CORPORATION IS FINISHED. If the Pawn Stars and American Pickers reruns my parents watch on the History Channel haven’t gotten me interested in this whole appraisal stuff, this show is definitely doing it for me. Fuck yeah, treasure! Zeppile… How do you spell that, anyways? I like the design of these booth seats. Must be the subtle checkerboard pattern. Ohh, so he bought the vase. You gotta appreciate someone who’d willingly buy knock-offs of their own work just to save themselves the embarrassment of association. I’m loving this question back-and-forth. Gon’s a good kid, if not somewhat crazy. Not sure how you spell that one method either? Machi looks kinda hot with her hair down, but she still ain’t no Shizuku. Oh, so it’s just one P. This was a nice, feel-good episode. A great breather from all the Phantom Troupe stuff. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNIVORN RE:0096 Still not sure if Full Frontal’s the good or bad guy here. I’m still confused on what needs to be done for these new Laplace coordinates to be revealed. How the hell does that even work? That is an awesome episode title. Oh yeah, it self-destructed last episode. I assume this flashback is supposed to imply that Marida’s taken the place of Zinnerman’s dead daughter. Should I care about the beef between all these random soldiers? Because I don’t really. Holy crap Takuya what happened for your voice. Shut up, old dude. Shut up, other two guys. And so the tension thickens further. Be quiet, Micott, that’s none of your business. A shoal zone… Wasn’t “The Shoals” the name of one of the IBO episodes? Of course Banagher would be the chosen one. Did somebody say Trump Card? :-D Nice outfit, Mineva. In the end, it’s always anti-government, huh? I still love the name “Side Co-Prosperity Sphere”. You better not hit her, Angelo. Finally, Banagher says something. Not that anyone cares… Wait… Is that a freaking flashback to OG Gundam? That animation definitely looks like it was drawn on cels. Char’s Counterattack, it appears to have been. So Laplace’s Box was in Industrial 7 all along. Now that is a plot twist. Fuck you, Riddhe. You’re a truer Blonde Sasuke than Kurapika. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Turns out the whole dying cliffhanger was just a weird analogy. Staying still? Yeah, he’s boned. Huh, he has a better handle on that than I expected. Okay, now that is freaky. Took him long enough to hit him on the head. Naruto’s lucky it fixed his toad problem. Now that is nightmarish. MEANWHILE, IN THE CYBERPUNK VILLAGE… That one body looks new. Yeah, that’s how bruises work. Sage jutsu is pretty hardcore. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: “I still don't really understand how the clones make him train faster.” Simply put, if Naruto and three of his clones train in how to do a specific task, once the clones poof away, he’ll have learned the task four times faster than he would have alone. I assume that one hit was for being a smartass. “Sometimes you don’t make sense at all.” Seems that way. THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMROOVES. Well, at least he didn’t try and dry heave it like Ghouls do after eating regular food, that’s a good start. He was only trying to lift it for 15 seconds. The frog features are strange, yes, but at least he doesn’t have any webbed fingers this time. STATUE DOMINOES. MADARA IS IN THE HOUSE. Hey, he’s getting better at it. Good on him! Hell yeah, it’s Jiraiya’s first novel. That one ninja looks like he came out of Persona 3. There’s just something wrong about hearing Jiraiya’s voice come out of Naruto’s body. “Even if you take me down, two more assassins will just take my place…” I assume that’ll be the voice Naruto gets when his balls finally drop. Turns out Jiraiya was in the right in that regard. Yeah, to hell with hatred! When a bratty response becomes something much more profound. T_T7 NOOOOOO BEE. Never mind, turns out it wasn’t Bee after all. JITENSHA JITENSHA JITENSHA. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX Back in the days when I watched as many [as] anime reruns as I could to really appreciate their wide range of shows they still had the licenses to, this was actually the last episode of Ghost in the Shell, from both 1st or 2nd Gig that I had seen. The one Tachikoma’s little adventure around Niihama with the little girl looking for her dead dog was pretty fun until the inevitable twist ending – I personally loved it when it replicated Aramaki’s voice to trick those two nosy policemen – and the movie-inside-a-cyberbrain plot was indeed very deep. Guess the one thing that can be gleaned from this episode is that machines and ghosts have feelings too. [you can tell by the tears]

We get it, you hate HxH, shut the fuck up about it already.

An absurdist companion piece to Mamoru Oshii's 2009 film Assault Girls. More disappointing than IGPX and Dimension W combined. [and that's a lot coming from me]

Please Teacher! 3 Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor 9 Rewatching Hunter x Hunter 2011 47

Rewatched Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor 8.

That's exactly what my uncle thought. Whereas I thought it was sand whale meat, his immediate conclusion was that it was Sand Man's leg.

Kuromukuro 16

Okay, that is kinda true. And eerily prophetic.

While the manga getting canned is sad and Japan's hatred of it is honestly debatable, this thread is unfit for the Toonami sub-board. [shame]

More sad voice actor news came our way just last night. FUNimation voice actor Ed Blaylock has died at the age of 64 from cancer. Many of you know him best as Fuhrer King Bradley, though the One Piece watchers may also recognize him as Sengoku. Not to mention other minor roles like one of Yusuke's dirtbag teachers in YYH, the alien music producer for the Dropkix in Space Dandy, the conductor who [spoilerS REDACTED] from Baccano!, and in a role that only I can recognize/appreciate, the human music producer from the first season finale of Is This a Zombie?" whose most stand-out like was the subtle innuendo of "She's got lots of spunk... I can see it all over her face!" Really, it's a shame, I always liked his voice. He will be missed. After all our respects here are paid, Ashi's search for a missing Jack leads her to encounter several of his early allies, Mr. Satan's self-proclaimed victory over Beerus gets him in potential hot water with alien visitors looking to congratulate him, Shin reveals exactly what's going on with Spopovich and why he stole Gohan's energy, the discovery of Titans inside the walls raise further questions about their nature in the long-awaited season premiere of Attack on Titan, Kaneki's newest Ghoul friend is so fabulous it's almost suspicious, that dude talking to Leorio in the ED animation finally shows up, the Nahel Argama teams up with the Sleeves following their escape from the Federation, the beginning stages of Naruto's Sage jutsu training on Mount Myoboku continue, and one of Section 9's Tachikomas sets off on an adventure across Niihama. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #15 - Valiant Mr. Satan, Work a Miracle!

Eromanga-Sensei is Chaps-approved, that just makes me want to watch it even more. :-D

Rewatched Kuromukuro 15. I'll be back to actually watching new stuff yet.

Well that reply wasn't unwarranted or anything. >_> And though the rewatch has passed, here's the newest Guyver screencap.

Well... That's an interesting spin on the whole "Stepford Wife" concept, I'll admit that much.

Try typing in "VRV stream" instead of just "VRV".

Have you tried Googling it?

I say "later this week", and it winds up being a month and a half. Ah, whatever, I've got a job to do. When I started Oreimo over two and a half years ago, I did so with one purpose in mind: to prove to those from the ASMB who hated it that I was perfectly capable of enjoying it, just as I was able to enjoy other shows they hated like Eureka seveN AO and Sword Art Online. (And also Fumihiko Tachiki as the dad.) Predictably enough, that part was successful. I liked Oreimo, and I enjoyed it. And online, I'm not afraid to admit that, as much of a guilty pleasure as it may be. Speaking of guilty pleasures, I'll openly admit there were a few things that I wasn't entirely fond of. The biggest thing being one that I disliked long before I even thought to finally start watching Oreimo: AYASE FUCKING ARAGAKI. >( Man, did I hate her. Lucky for her, I didn't hate her as much as, say, Shukuro Tsukishima when he started using Book of the End on Ichigo's friends and family, or Nishiki Nishio in his second episode of screentime, but she was up there. Her bipolarity in regards to her friendship with Kirino was pretty off-putting and ridiculous, and her tsun-tsun attitude towards Kyosuke didn't help matters either. And while her attitude grew on me the more she and Kyosuke interacted, I still disliked the violence. In other respects, there were Kirino's bitchier moments, Kyosuke responding to said bitchier moments with yelling, and who could ever forget the time he tried to keep Manami from knowing he was playing little sister eroge by using the escape key on his laptop instead of just closing the display screen? (Now on TV Tropes!) There's also the more technical down points, like very few sakuga moments and the girls having a near-permanent blush on their faces, and while the latter did get distracting once someone on 4chan pointed it out, I don't really care about that crap. Hell, even QUALITY can be fun, especially in rating screencap format. I didn't even mind the differences made from the original light novel; I barely read them anyways, and the anime leaving out Kyosuke's reasons for quitting trying to be cool when he was younger (something about getting ostracized for accidentally causing a classmate to get hurt on a field trip and Manami making him feel better about it) was a smart move. But for every thing I disliked about Oreimo, there were about two or three things I did like. The voice acting, for one. The content rating variety I thrust upon it, for another. Several things. And at the heart of it all, two things that really made the experience worthwhile for all its flaws. The first thing is realism. Now, I know it's ridiculous to refer to anime as "realistic". Hell, the last time I called an anime "somewhat realistic", pre-nu-ASMB stalwart Metatronda claimed that nobody knowing Team Satomi's middle-aged coach was the Rocket made no sense, not even taking the time to think that "Andrei Rublev" might be an alias. (Meta was always short-sighted like that). But Kyosuke's laptop-related lapse in logic aside, Oreimo is pretty damn realistic, by which I mean it feels like it could take place in the real world, our reality. There are no supernatural powers or mystical overtones, anything implied to be is considered metaphorical anyways, not a single character has a chibi/super-deformed moment, Kyosuke doesn't blast off into the sky a la Team Rocket/Taro Sado whenever he's hit by either Kirino or Ayase, a good chunk of character reactions purposely avoid falling into lawlharem territory, the present-day setting, and all that subtle development that pervades real life each and every day. As far as light novel adaptations go, Oreimo is one of the most down-to-earth-while-still-being-unbelievable I've ever seen. Speaking of subtle development, the rebuilding of Kyosuke and Kirino's positive relationship from its negative starting point over the course of the series was a real reward too. At first, it's mutual dislike. Kyosuke hates Kirino's bratty attitude, while Kirino barely acknowledges Kyosuke's existence. But after Kyosuke finds her Meruru DVD, and learns of her closet otaku lifestyle right after, the relationship starts to build up again. It starts out like it does in most light novels between the male and female lead, with tsundere attitudes from the female and the male for the most part complying, but underneath all that is the broken sibling relationship mending itself. For all the bitchiness Kirino delivers to Kyosuke, she still comes to him for advice where necessary, and he more often than not delivers it to her, at the cost of his own dignity. Season 2 really shone through there, with Kirino's attitude coming off as less "tsundere bitch" and more "stubborn sibling", and Kyosuke starting to not mind most of the dirty looks he receives for his bolder acts of help towards Kirino. As the place where I posted it was nuked, here's a recap of what I mean: in episode 26, when Kyosuke shows up at a photo shoot Kirino was partaking in to pick her up and take her to a Meruru event on a bike with loli nudity on it, he's unfazed by the accusations of perversion from the other models and only gets offended when the models' security tries to remove him from the site. Eventually, after several episodes of very sibling-like interaction and a flashback episode putting their positive relationship as kids into perspective, they finally complete the relationship that was fractured and walk away the same as they were then, but with influence from the attitudes they developed over the time they spent apart emotionally. And they also got an incest ending, because what else did you expect from a series with the word "imouto" in the title? Which brings me to the second thing: relatability. Some call Oreimo "wish-fulfillment", and I don't blame them, because in Kyosuke's actions, there's something I wish could happen between me and my own sister. Not the incest ending, naturally, but the work towards a positive relationship. Simply put, my sister is a piece of work. Bossy, picky, prone to peer pressure, annoying, and so liberal that it finally made me realize how much fun the left-wingers suck out of everything. (Well, the ones that do purposeful fun-sucking, anyways.) She's definitely the Kirino to my Kyosuke, if not worse at times, all the way down to the educational age gap. And in seeing Kyosuke and Kirino go from being silently at odds to being friends while still being siblings, all sparked by a singular hobby, it made me want to get on better terms with my own sister. Not to the point that Kyosuke and Kirino have it, but enough such that she'll put up with the inadvertent habits she tells me to stop doing (not "try to", but "just do"). So yeah, I can relate to Kyosuke, in that we both have sisters that we aren't too fond of because of their more negative personality traits. Doesn't mean that I'd humiliate myself in public to get her to like me, though. : So when it comes down to it, my reasons for liking Oreimo come down to the real-world-equivalency of its setting, the familiarity of Kyosuke's sibling situation to my own, and the character development intrinsic to both. Well, that and acceptance of the negativity that infested the show's viewer base like SAO and AgK did with theirs. I would totally watch this again as a marathon, but I think I'll refrain from buying a home version for myself for both personal and financial reasons. Excellent job for something that could've done (and in some eyes, did do) much less. 9/10 on my personal scoring scale, which translates to 8/10 via normal standards. Cannot wait to start Eromanga Sensei and begin my look out for those Oreimo character cameos. ;D The timing couldn't have been more perfect if it had tried.

Speaking of which, where has Gman been since the ASMB went kaput?

Yeah, they recycled the bumps for the "COMING UP NEXT" and main title portions of the finale, but brought out new ones for the "WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK" and "WE'RE BACK" moments.

Moostache~.

Two arcs. He and Bulma didn't bang until the Androids timeskip. Unless you're referring to him and Frieza... : o

The important thing is that in both GT and Super, Gohan won the waifu lottery pretty big.

Still, if its eventual licensor barring Crunchyroll thinks it should be dubbed into English, chances are it'll be dubbed into English. :-\
