The first of Joseph's battles against the Pillar Men has concluded. With one Wedding Ring of Death having been disintegrated, all that's left for him to do is fight Wamuu to rid himself of the other, and then move forward into the inevitable final battle. But before he can do any of that, he finds it imperative to warn Lisa Lisa that the remaining Pillar Men are about to make their move. But unbeknownst to him, the supposedly defeated Esidisi isn't done with him just yet... In more treacherous parts of the schedule, a pissed-off Vegeta proceeds to throw everything he's got and thensome at Lord Beerus, Team Four Star (SHUT THE FUCK UP BEN) guest stars (or so we hear) in a so-called historical account of the Cell Games, Banagher learns exactly how the Unicorn Gundam is the "key" to Laplace's Box, Kurapika and the other bodyguard applicants find themselves having to face their prospective client's army of masked soldiers before they can even do anything, blah blah Naruto filler blah blah, Brook finally makes good on the promise he made to Luffy at the start of the arc less than a year ago, and the death of a former colleague pushes Togusa to figure out who did it and why. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #8 - Goku Makes an Entrance!

Ben0119, ladies and gentlemen! :fap:

It just feels weird hearing Whis with a voice that doesn't belong to Ian Sinclair, I'm sorry.

Ain't that the depressing truth. :::

Remember when everyone thought the so-called "whitewashing" was the worst part of this movie?

Rewatched Kuromukuro 12 and March Comes in Like a Lion 13

I'm gonna be quicker than usual with this one; mostly because TLR has taken it over as the show I really get in-depth about. March Comes In Like a Lion #13: Black River / Beyond the Door

The latter, I'll give you, but you'd be surprised by the things some people dub...

Okay, Blatch, you and I need to have a discussion about you dragging politics into an already divisive thread.

Eromanga Sensei, for sure.

Oreimo 2 16

Sure, it could save me the effort of rating it.

I have an announcement to make. Tonight, I will finish the Oreimo animated franchise with episode 16 of season 2. With that, the series will be behind me, until I feel the need to rewatch it. However, as I have two midterms tomorrow - both of which allow the use of note sheets, but still - the writeup will be postponed until next Wednesday. So expect the screencaps in the Anime Watching thread, but wait for them to show up here, mmkay? [mmkay]

I was thinking something more along the lines of them taking away the 8PM Super premiere and making it a rerun from last week.

I'm expecting either a huge schedule overhaul or Demarco apologizing for something in the coming weeks. I'm not saying it'll happen, just that it's expectant at this point.

Now that is podracing.

Kuromukuro 12

Hey, I get plenty of things wrong in those writeups all the time. Like when I said Gon was gonna watch Hisoka's fight with Kastro, when it turned out Wing actually forbade him from seeing it until he recovered from his injuries.

The Pillar Men defy logic. That’s pretty much the default answer to all the impossible shit they can do. Doing things a little different this time. DRAGONBALL SUPER – Yes, Beerus threatening to destroy the Earth and beating in all the protags is terrible, as was his unleashing Vegeta’s wrath on us by slapping Bulma, but let’s be straight about what the most important part of the episode was: Whis. He is the best character, if you hate him you’re factually wrong, and he is once more proof that Ian Sinclair is one of FUNimation’s best talents. That whole scene where he’s trying the sushi for the first time was perfection. DRAGONBALL Z KAI – Is it wrong that I find short-hair Videl cuter than twintails Videl? Almost didn’t recognize Yamcha with that haircut. It’s easy to forget that Goku has a “cares about his family” side after all the memeing about him not caring less about them. Personally I’d love to know what happened post-Cell Saga that convinced 18 to return Krillin’s affections. JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE – I always thought Esidisi was the most dickish of the Pillar Men. The creepiest, too... Regardless, his and Joseph’s battle of strategy, deception, and all-out ruses was excellent. And as bad as Bryce’s accent for Caesar is, I actually find it better than Stephanie Sheh’s for Suzie Q. You’ll see why next week. Welp, one ring down, one to go. This week’s screencaps: Kars and Esidisi chilling at their hangout, and Messina inadvertently perpetuating Asian stereotypes. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 – I’ll admit, this series is harder to follow than IBO, but UC really knows how to deliver on the action, and damn does it look cool while doing it. Also that whole Newtype backstory-sharing sequence was strangely beautiful. HUNTER x HUNTER – The woman with the “180 Minute Love Slave” Nen ability is my new favorite minor character. Did you know that her name means “fuck” in French? NARUTO SHIPPUDEN – Okay where the hell did Haku’s ghost come from and why did he show up when he did? Probably to foreshadow the presence of those other tracker ninja. Also, did anyone else think the conversation between Hotaru and Utakata in that misty area was oddly suggestive for even Naruto filler? ONE PIECE – I wish it was easy for me to cry as the rest of you guys, that Binks’ Brew performance/montage was moving as all hell. :’( GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX – There is nothing wrong with liking things that are obviously dated. I, for one, am fond of my car and its lack of an anti-lock braking system. [pump the brakes]

That existed before anime got big, your attempts to turn me away are irrelevant.

You're just mad because he is right, World Autofellatio Champion.

>implying we're not the winning party here

Over the past several weeks, Joseph and Caesar have been trained extensively in the more complicated uses of Hamon and the proper breath control needed to pull them off. With the Pillar Men making preparations to find the ideal Red Stone of Aja for their plans, and the rings inside Joseph having one week left before they dissolve, Lisa Lisa declares that a final exam is in order, to see if Joseph and Caesar have what it takes to match their enemies in combat. But little does Joseph know, one of the Pillar Men is already itching to fight him, and will interrupt his exam in order to do it. Speaking of interruptions, Beerus ruins Bulma's birthday party in the form of pushing in the Z Fighters' shit, everyone's training for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament continues on while Videl finally gets the hang of flying, the Federation and ECOAS begin their attack on Palau which isn't the Pacific island like I was supposedly promised, Kurapika finally gets that bodyguard job he planned on obtaining post-Hunter Exam, the suspicious-looking villagers our protagonists left Hotaru turn out to be, well... suspicious, the actually tragic part of Brook's backstory finally kicks in, and Section 9 finds themselves having to figure out why all these gynoids keep killing themselves. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #7 - How Dare You Do That To My Bulma!

Huh. Apparently I burned Daos so hard it broke the boards. Nice. 8)
