Attack on Titan: The Penultimate Installment on the 24th, calling it now.

One Piece 618 Naruto Shippuden 441

Instant vegan beef & pepper bowl. Nothing too impressive. I'll report back on Thursday with something far more effortful (though still on the simple side).

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch! 8 Food Wars! The Fifth Plate 10 Dang, I'm really getting all the cooking-centric episodes this week.

Did you even fucking read my recap. Okay, so you did. Thanks, I try my best. That one to two seconds of Kohaku deepthroating a giant loaf of bread gives me life.

Dr. Stone: New World 1 My Home Hero 10 Kyoichi may be a well-written character, but he will forever be my worst of the season.

If Dawn of the Deep Soul was the Hangover, then Ryusui is the Hangover II. [as] fucked up again, and now we're stuck with a new season free of context we'd have to find online. 12:00 - Unicorn: Warriors Eternal #6 - The Mystery of Secrets - TV-PGV 12:30 - Dr. Stone: New World #1 - New World Map - TV-PGDL 1:00 - Food Wars!

An Assassin from Dressrosa! - TV-PG 2:00 - Naruto Shippuden #441 - Returning Home - TV-PG 2:30 - My Hero Academia #118 - The Thrill of Destruction - TV-14V Lord knows what show will take up the role of Hangover III.

Zero for me, too.

So here's what happened in the Ryusui special, for those of you too lazy to watch it. Last we left Senku and friends - now consisting of both the Kingdom of Science and the Tsukasa Empire - it was decided that they would all head out to South America, the source of the mysterious event that turned humanity to stone, and figure out what the hell is going on. Of course, because this show is all about the procedure, first they have to build the ship that will take them there. Actually constructing the vessel is the easy part; the hard part is finding a captain to man the ship and get them where they need to go. The reporter lady who helped Tsukasa pick out all the people he revived for his army brings Senku and a few others to an island-based academy for naval training, where they ultimately revive Ryusui Nanami, the adventurer scion of a maritime trading conglomerate who knows everything there is to know about weather and navigation. He's also a greedy asshole and narcissist, but it's okay because he's voiced by Bakugo and it is entertaining as fuck. Now that they have their captain, next comes finding oil that can be used to power the ship once it's finished. Ryusui points them to the site of a former oil field in Shizuoka (that he immediately calls dibs on the land rights to) that's their best bet for the material. So while Kohaku, Chrome and Ukyo (the super-hearing guy) head out to find the oil field, Ryusui introduces the Kingdom of Science/Tsukasa Empire (hereby abbreviated as KSTE) to capitalism, creating a currency known as the "drago" (exchange rate 100 for a dollar, I think) which he distributes some of but hogs the rest of, that way there's money to purchase the oil. So far so good, but during their journey to Shizuoka, the expedition team discovers a giant waterfall that wasn't there before, leading to a major problem that not even Senku had considered: Mt. Fuji is a volcano, and has likely erupted several times in the three millennia humanity laid dormant, changing the landscape and making navigation through typical means impossible. Of course, Senku being Senku, he has a solution in mind already (though it takes a brain blast courtesy of a comment from Suika to get him there). The solution: create air travel. Namely, a hot air balloon that will not only take them places faster, but provide enough of a view of the world above to create an all-new world map for accurate navigation. Cue the process of making the balloon, specifically the cloth needed to create the balloon itself. (Yuzuriha has a lot of relevance during this part.) This leads to the creation of a loom and, per Gen's suggestion, designer clothes made from the reject cloths that they can sell for large sums of cash. They even have a fashion show and everything! The purpose for the latter action: to drain Ryusui of some of his own money reserves so Senku has enough money in his war chest to purchase the oil Ryusui's selling at 100 drago per milliliter. Eventually, the balloon is finished, and now comes the testing phase. Three people go to test the balloon: Senku, who designed it and knows all about how it would work; Ryusui, who's pre-considered but ultimately earns the right in a game of Joker's Wild rigged by Gen; and Chrome, who rushed all the way back to home base upon learning that the balloon was being built in the first place. The test takes place and it's overall successful, though per Senku's occasionally recurring bad luck, he and the others (who immediately argue with one another over who the better adventurer is) get caught in a cumulonimbus cloud that they can't easily emergency land out of, thanks to a hole formed in the balloon by some passing birds. They're ultimately successful in escaping, though Senku ends up using the last of the miracle fluid - a.k.a. the stuff needed to bring people back to life - as a fuel boost. The special ends with Senku, Ryusui and Chrome preparing to land the balloon in Ishigami Village, where Kohaku and Ukyo are waiting for them. And now you're ready for "New World Map". Get excited, guys.

Eh, I don't think opinion against GXP was that unified. Ginguy (back when he went by Jingai and was 5% less obnoxious) liked it, and I somehow tricked myself into liking it until episode 20 or so. (Small aside: apparently I found out/was reminded that Yousuke Kuroda - a.k.a. the guy who wrote Trigun, Gungrave, and every single episode of My Hero Academia - was actually head writer on GXP, but only actually wrote the script for a single episode (with a friend), and that was the one where Tenchi and his harem actually had screentime. Makes sense, since he got his start in series composition with the 2nd Ryo-Ohki OVA.) I basically quit browsing the /co/ generals cold turkey as a result of both their constant doomsaying and them calling this place a circlejerk as if their echo chamber wasn't the exact same thing. I imagine it's gotten worse, what with Zaslav tossing shows in the tax write-off bin if they're even slightly unsuccessful.

Yuri is My Job! 9

I remember when an intern leaked content from the Intruder II finale on /co/ and he asked someone to compile the posts because he didn't want to comb through a bunch of "Demarco's a f*ggit" posts in order to find it. Long story short, now he has an insensitive nickname for life.

The good thing about Toonami news is that it travels fast, so I don't even need Facebook or Twitter for it, just this forum and the r/Toonami subreddit.

My favorites. I'm also fond of "When is Totally Spies coming to Toonami?"

"No, not that kind of ''coming!" **Gibbs slap**

Naruto Shippuden 440 Food Wars! The Fifth Plate 9 Yuri is My Job! 8

Nah, that was ASMB. It was Code Geass, yes, and also Moribito. The "worse than 9/11" thing was just edgy middle-school frustration over the fact that, since it was airing in the Nonsexy Hour, I'd have to waste so much VHS tape on the comedy hours that came before when I did my nightly recordings - I often liked to put multiple nights on one tape - and didn't want to get up at 4 in the morning to set it up because it was inevitable I'd sleep in and miss a couple premieres that weren't guaranteed any reruns at that point. I never got warned or banned over that comment, it just got deleted without comment. But the backlash towards my comment remained, a mix of anger that I'd say something so insensitive and disbelief that I'd actually say it to begin with. But Trunks378, the dude who originated the anime block discussion threads that bear his name, was not only the first to react to my statement, but absolutely livid about it, too. He outright said that he'd ban me on the spot for saying such things if he had mod powers, which would be what you're thinking of. If a close friend or relative of his died in the attacks, then I'd understand his rage; I wouldn't blame him for being so vicious towards me on that compared to most everyone else, who just went "Holy shit, did he just...!?" But that too was a learning experience; to mince my words when someone makes a programming decision I really dislike. Luckily, nothing of the sort has happened since then to warrant such impulse.

I remember it going offline the week after that date, but that's just me. Still, they did good timing it close to election day. Who knows how much of a mess the boards would have gotten had it stayed up 'til then...

I almost hit SwimLegend, but then my first permaban happened. If I had held onto the one account the whole way, I could've easily gotten there.

Clearly he's joking, but as per the pattern, here's the big finale you haven't been waiting for! (Here's the first three for catching up.) FENA: PIRATE PRINCESS IN AN INACCURATE NUTSHELL 4: ANOTHER CRAWLING CHAOS IN THE TAX WRITE-OFF BIN (Picking up from where the last episode went off, chibi!Nyaruko finishes singing her show’s theme song for an increasingly bewildered Ryo, Ren and Shenhua.) Chibi!Nyaruko: Hai yoru! (Oh!) Konton! (Nyaa!) Nyaruratoho! (Tepu!!) Ryo: (glares) Chibi!Nyaruko: Oh, Mahiro-san~! Ryo: Who are you? Chibi!Nyaruko: Blergh!! (Nyaruko proceeds to vomit up a chibi version of Nyarlathotep, the one from Pop Team Epic season 2. It’s crying much like a baby would.) Chibi!Nyaruko: You’re gonna help me raise this child! Ryo: But I’m not ready for that level of commitment! Chibi!Nyaruko: Fine! (eats Baby!Nyarlathotep) Ryo: Noooo, our baby!!! Ren: She’s getting in your head! Shenhua: And your arm! (Ryo looks down to find Chibi!Nyaruko furiously humping his arm, placing it in a super-tight grip.) Ryo: Hnngh, my arm!! Chibi!Nyaruko: Ooh, Mahiro-san, it’s so tight~! Ryo: Why do you keep calling me that!? Chibi!Nyaruko: Because I’m from a harem comedy anime! Insert unfitting pop culture reference here!! (While they’re in the middle of… “fighting”, I guess? Fena, Shitan, Kei, Kan and Rubel rush onto the scene.) Fena: Shenmue, we’re here to help- (Before she can finish, Fena notices Nyaruko on his arm.) Fena: Aww, that’s pretty cute. Chibi!Nyaruko: Think again! (Chibi!Nyaruko’s eyes flash and everyone in the area receives a glimpse of her true cosmic horror form. Everyone’s covering their eyes in terror.) Fena: Ahh! Not cute! Not cute at all! Chibi!Nyaruko: BRB, gonna eat out some dissidents! (sticks tongue out, then flies away) (Later, after the sight of True!Nyarlathotep has worn off…) Ryo: What should we do? Rubel: If only Yukimaru were here… (Yukimaru suddenly teleports in, then places his hand on Fena’s head.) Yukimaru: And there you have it! (Then he disappears with her.) Rubel: Huh. Wonder where they’re going. (Housing Complex C: that’s where they’re going. Specifically, Kimi’s apartment.) Kimi: Welcome, to the Room of Infinite Bullshit! Abel: The fuck does that mean? Kimi: It means next year… w̵͎̩͚̲̅̆̏̀i̴̝̹̪̐͂̾̑͗͒͌͝l̶̩͇̲̙̪̹̲̇̎͋̽̋͌̑l̷̡̺̫̪̞̩̐̋͗͂͘ͅ ̴̨͎̣͔̥̜̭̂́͆̚ͅḅ̴̺̮̀̎̐̈́͋̈́̎͗e̷̛̜̕ ̶͕̖̣̗̇̈́̿̋̎͌̚ṭ̴̙̓̃͝͠o̸̟̓͘m̷̡͎̗̄̐ȍ̵͖̼̭̬̎̿͛̆̿̄r̸͍̫̼̱̦̺̻̹̀̑͂̀̈́̉̕͝r̷̛̖͎̞̬̱͆͂o̵̗̫̭̱̼̾̈́͛̿̓̅ŵ̷̡̼̟͕̬̟̦ͅ. Abel: IT’S A WOT!? (The door slams shut.) Fena: So, what are we gonna do? Yukimaru: I dunno. I usually don’t get involved until things are at their worst. Fena: (beat) …So, we’re waiting for Abel- Yukimaru: We’re waiting for Abel, yes. (Meanwhile, in the courtyard outside building C, the others are relaxing the best they can, listening to an old-school radio.) DJ Voiceover: No, I don’t think it’s sexist to say the word “misogyny” is constantly overused and misapplied. Mr. Koshide: Hey. Ryo: Hrmn!? (Outside are Mr. and Mrs. Koshide, maniacally grinning with blood staining their clothes and knives in hand because fuck subtlety and façades, this is a parody rewrite!) Mr. Koshide: Can Yukimaru come down and die? Ryo: The sign says “No Solicitors!” (It does. It has zero effect. Within seconds, Ryo and Mr. Koshide are trading blows with one another, the former with his martial arts and the latter with his sick-ass Cthulhu knife. Neither seems to have any effect.) Mrs. Koshide: And suddenly, we’re in a video game. Kan: I like Dig Dug. Chibi!Nyaruko: (suddenly appears) And I like Doki Doki Literature Club! Ryo: I’m a fan of the Yakuza seri-gah! (Chibi!Nyaruko dynamic entries her way right into Ryo’s gut, blowing him back before dropping down to face Mr. Koshide.) Mr. Koshide: Great Old Ones, what is this thing!? Chibi!Nyaruko: I’m your onee-sama~. (knocks Mr. Koshide to the ground.) Mr. Koshide: (pomf) W-What are we gonna do on the ground, onee-sama…? (Chibi!Nyaruko then opens up her mouth. Distressingly wide. And there’s, like, so many teeth and tentacles.) Chibi!Nyaruko: O̸̹͈͓̒̈̾͐ͅO̷̦̠̟̍̒̿̾͠H̴̤̟̮͐ ̵͕̩̘̃̑̌̚͘N̵̪̞̈̐Y̶̟̭̠̓̍͋́̚Ȧ̶͓̅͒͝Ȁ̵̬̖͌͝ͅ Kan: Now tape it!! (Kan punches Chibi!Nyaruko in her oversized jaw, knocking her off of Mr. Koshide.) Chibi!Nyaruko: Ah! Fuck! Do you mind!? I don’t come to your work and knock your patrons out of your mouth. Mr. Koshide: Wait, you can’t do this! I worship your kind on the daily! Chibi!Nyaruko: But I’m not Cthulhu, now am I? Mr. Koshide: Oh, cool. That’s fine, then. (Chibi!Nyaruko unhinges her jaw and swallows Mr. Koshide whole, taking some time to get him down her gullet. Karin records this and uploads it to Japanese PornHub in record time. The title: “Cultist Vored By A Lesser God Than His”.) (With that done, Chibi!Nyaruko transforms… into Flash!Nyaruko. She looks like she normally does, but is animated in Flash, a la her 2011 series.) Flash!Nyaruko: And now I-! Kei: Hey, you annoying brat! (Flash!Nyaruko turns around to spot Kei, standing behind her with his sword drawn. This is the first time this has ever happened.) Kei: This is the only cool thing I’ll ever do. (tilts blade) There is no joke. Flash!Nyaruko: (grins) Respect. (Then Kei rushes over and stabs her.) Flash!Nyaruko: BARBATOS!! (Get it, because she says random Gundam names whenever she gets hit? ISN’T THAT WACKY!!?!?!) (Anyways, Kei keeps stabbing her over and over again, only to collapse once finished.) Kei: Happy Memorial Day, you dumb bitch… Flash!Nyaruko: (stands up, unharmed) And congrats on graduating to you. Kei: Thanks… (coughs up blood.) (Just then, Yukimaru teleports his way down.) Yukimaru: What was that about graduating? Kei: Now you show up… Flash!Nyaruko: Oh hey, Yukimar- Yukimaru: (glares) You’re gonna fucking die. (teleports away) Flash!Nyaruko: Oh… Guess I’ve got a problem, then. Abel: (jumps down) Make that two problems! Flash!Nyaruko: Oh hey, Abel. Abel: I’m gonna do you a fuck! Flash!Nyaruko: …Excuse me!? Abel: NEVER!! (Abel turns Super Simp and kicks Nyaruko straight into the dirt.) Abel: Look how yoked I am. (spits) Straight up cock diesel. Flash!Nyaruko: …can I just swallow the wife now? Abel: No. Kimi: (relieved) Yes! Flash!Nyaruko: (on knees and pleading) Pleeeeeese?? Abel: Yes. Kimi: (despairing) Noooooooo!! Mrs. Koshide: What are they even talking abou- (Flash!Nyaruko then consumes Mrs. Koshide. It happens so fast most people don’t even notice.) (One magical girl-style transformation sequence later, Flash!Nyaruko comes into her true form: the 2012 anime version of herself.) Nyaruko: I am best girl, and you will condone everything I say and do~! (winks) Kaede & Enju: (pissed) YOU ATE OUR MILFBAI-! (Nyaruko smacks them aside with her crowbar.) Kaede & Enju: Oh… Abel: Now you shall feel the wrath… of SUPER ABE-! (Same with Abel.) Abel: Augh… Rubel: I won’t let you cause this complex any further grie-!! (Same with Rubel.) Rubel: Ungh… Nyaruko: And now I’m gonna start a tournament arc! Later, losers!! (flies off) Kaede: (helps Kan up) By the way, we’re friends now! Kan: But we’re foreigners… Enju: Most of us are! (Meanwhile, Nyaruko whizzes around the docks of Kuro/Shirosaki, creating the tournament floor. Thanks to her crowbar, it looks like that one unflattering illustration of Jason Demarco.) Nyaruko: Mmm, this will age well. (Meanwhile, back at the complex, Yukimaru steps out of Kimi’s apartment in Super Simp/Sanada mode.) Yukimaru: Hey guys, I’m out of the Iyoyoloki Soyohosu realm. Anything happen? (The first thing he sees over the balcony of the complex is the courtyard on fire, littered in fish and animal corpses.) Yukimaru: …Abel. What did you do? Abel: Nothing… Yukimaru: Abel, what did you do? Abel: Nothing! Yukimaru: What. Did. You. Do!? Abel: I FUCKED YOUR MOTHER!! Yukimaru: I don’t have a mother. Abel: …neither do I. (sheds tears while dramatic music plays) Ryo: By the way, we lost Fena, so- Yukimaru: But then what are we in!? (He teleports out, then back in with Fena. She’s dressed in Victorian-era British fashion, frills and parasol and all.) Yukimaru: It has been fixed. Fena: Hey, everyone, check it out! I’m from Unicorn! Shenhua: No, you’re from our show. (Shenhua places her hand above Fena’s chest, and her lady garb turns into a similar rural Chinese dress to hers.) Fena: Neat! Kimi: Okay, so do we have all our problem-solver items? Makuba: You bet. (holds up the Eden stone) (At the same time, Ren holds up both the Dragon and the Phoenix Mirrors.) Kimi: Sick. (smiles, then holds up the jar containing her “Mommy”) Yukimaru: Now, onto the tournament! (Meanwhile, at the tournament, Nyaruko is visited by a certain somebody…) David Zaslav: Hey, are you owned by Warner Bros. Discovery? (revs up fiscal chainsaw) Nyaruko: Nope! Zaslav: Ah, no worries. (lowers chainsaw and leaves) (Fena, the Goblin Knights, Ryo’s team, Kan and Rubel are there watching Zaslav depart. All but the latter two are glaring at him. All except for Karin, who’s smiling a little.) Karin: I like that guy’s weapon. Nyaruko: Welcome to the NGPX, everybody! Here are the brackets! (The bracket consists of one match: Nyaruko vs. Yukimaru.) Rubel: Wait, how is this a tournament? Nyaruko: Hey, don’t hate the sport! Hate the system… Kirie Goshima: What about- Yukimaru & Nyaruko: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! Kirie: Eh, they’re never gonna release my show anyway. Yukimaru: All right, let’s go, Nyaruko! Nyaruko: With pleasure! (Nyaruko charges at Yukimaru and whacks him over the head with her crowbar. Bloody results ensue.) Yukimaru: Augh!! Ow! I quit! Fena, get ‘em! Fena: What!? Nyaruko: NANI!?! Yukimaru: By next September. TO BE CONTINUED Fena: NOOOOOOOO!!! (Or not. Fena goes Super Simp, which in her case involves being possessed by the spirit of Helena.) Nyaruko: Wait, wasn’t she goofing off in England befo-ah!! (Fena rushes over and bitchslaps Nyaruko, reverting her to her Flash form.) Flash!Nyaruko: Oww… Fena/Helena: Get lost, you cretin. Flash!Nyaruko: I’m no cretin… You’re a cretin!!! (Flash!Nyaruko grabs her crowbar and transforms it into a sword, preparing to run Fena through.) Fena: (depowers) Oh god, I killed us all! Yukimaru: No, Fena… (Yukimaru gets in front of Fena, after which he’s impaled by Flash!Nyaruko’s sword.) Yukimaru: …just me. (Yukimaru collapses to the ground, dead. Flash!Nyaruko collapses as well, having been stabbed by Yukimaru’s own sword in the process.) Fena: NOOO!!! (Just then, Nyaruko stands back up, having returned to her 2012 form.) Nyaruko: JK, not dead, LOL. Rubel: NOOOOO- (gets knocked out by Nyaruko’s crowbar) Nyaruko: NO! Enough of that! Now listen up! Y’all have been belittling me since before I got here! Ranked me a worse anime of 2012 than Eureka seveN AO!? I’m Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, motherfuckers! So Cthulhu on fucking Earth, you better recognize the crackle of my raw, SSSSEXUAL energy, and line your Crunchyroll Original asses up so I can-! Ryo: BODY CHECK!! (Using the ultimate move he had to learn twice in Shenmue III, Ryo steps into the ring and bodyslams Nyaruko hard enough for her to start disintegrating on impact. In her final moments, the ending theme to Nyaruko-san season 1 starts playing.) Nyaruko: (mentally) Mahiro-san… I’m so sorry… I never got to have your babies… (With those last thoughts, Nyaruko disappears. Forever.) (Back at Housing Complex C…) Fena: Shenmue beat Nyaruko-san!! Ryo: But at what cost? (Using the Eden Stone, the Phoenix and Dragon Mirrors, and her “Mommy”, Kimi summons Franz.) Ryo: Oh right, no cost. Hooray! Franz: I’M FROM EDEN AND WHAT IS THIS!? Ren: Bring back the deads! Franz: DONE! Kaede & Enju: Give us girlfriends! Franz: DONE! Yukimaru: I’m gonna stay dead. Franz: DONE! Fena: What!? Yukimaru: You’re the main character now… (fades out) (then back in) I meant “for now”. (Housing Complex C ending theme plays) Fena: Wow, what an adventure! I wonder what’s next for us… (Ryo places his hand on Fena’s head, smiling. After a beat, the smile fades.) Ryo: We’ve been written off. Fena: …What? Ryo: We’ve been written off. Fena: You’re kidding! After all that!? Ryo: Yeah… Sorry. Fena: But… B-But [as] is gonna produce more original anime for us to interact with, right!? Ryo: Yeah, but… no. Fena: …oh. (Everyone looks down in awkward silence. But then, in a puff of pink smoke, someone appears: Nemuri Kayama, a.k.a. the R-Rated Hero, Midnight.) Midnight: By the way, I never died. (struts away) [continued apologies to team four star]

Welp, looks like Fena Kai Abridged 3.5 is going into production very soon! Edit: DONE!
