Initial D Battle Stage 2 Honestly, it's amazing how little I managed to retain of Fourth Stage before rewatching this. Here's to hoping I have better luck with the Fifth!

Out with the old, in with the new, and with more songs from a certain band per episode than Biscuit Hammer could muster on its weaksauce budget. 12:00 - FLCL #1 - Fooly Cooly - TV-14D 12:30 - FLCL #2 - Fire Starter - TV-14DS 1:00 - FLCL #3 - Marquis du Carabas - TV-14 1:30 - FLCL #4 - Full Swing - TV-14DSV 2:00 - FLCL #5 - Brittle Bullet - TV-14DSV 2:30 - FLCL #6 - FLCLimax - TV-14S 3:15 - Rick & Morty vs. Genocider - TV-MAL Ride on, shooting star.

I remember the Bebop fiasco happening between seasons of Borderland, but yes, it is very noteworthy indeed.

Sometimes all you want out of a Christmas marathon is pure savagery. 12:00 - Primal #17 - The Colossaeus - TV-14V 12:30 - Primal #18 - The Colossaeus, Part II - TV-14V 1:00 - Primal #19 - The Colossaeus, Part III - TV-14V 1:30 - Primal #20 - Echoes of Eternity - TV-MASV 2:00 - Adult Swim Yule Log: The Fire Place That last one isn't Toonami, but it fits the theme nicely.

Naruto Shippuden 421 Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer 24 Of all the fillers they could inserted into this point in the canon, Konohamaru using the Sexy Jutsu as an aid in mastering the Rasengan is definitely one of the stranger choices.

For what it's worth, the lawlharem elements didn't get personally unbearable until episode 20, so I'm not as infuriated at this existing as I probably should be. Poor Gunners, though...

I've only seen two of the eight episodes so far, but it's pretty good. Relatable too, being about a fellow newcomer to their desired industry of employment.

This is going on the docket after I finish season 1 of Tokyo Vice. [one j-drama policy]

"Eh, I don't feel like watching children suffer this week" x20.

Elfen Lied 6

Kimi was not Cthulhu, she was Yog-Sothoth. Completely different eldritch horror. Personally, best was Ass Class season 2 finally showing up, worst was Zaslav taking his fiscal chainsaw to the Crunchyroll co-pros. And while it was a nice celebration of the 25th anniversary, I felt that The Return was more than a bit of a letdown.

I'm a rare kind where I actively seek out anime from beyond Toonami, but if an anime feels like it should be Toonami-bound, I purposefully avoid watching it, even if the likelihood of it making to the block is less than 1%. It's my own personal Toonami Jail, and starting with Chainsaw Man later this year/early next (don't even try to rush me), I hope to wean off of that crutch. I still watch Toonami via what goes up on [as]'s website, though because hey, convenience is convenience.

When was the last time we had a Naruto episode with sexy results? 12:00 - My Hero Academia #116 - One's Justice - TV-14V 12:30 - Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun #6 - The Luring - TV-MAV 1:00 - Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon #42 - The Collapse of the Windmill of Time - TV-14LV 1:30 - One Piece #599 - Shocking! The True Identity of the Mystery Man Vergo! - TV-PG 2:00 - Naruto Shippuden #422 - The Ones Who Will Inherit - TV-PGDS 2:30 - Primal #18 - The Colossaeus, Part II - TV-14V

I hate to nitpick, but I go by Poke.

Seeing how it's a 2-hour block on Christmas Eve but the standard 3-hour on New Year's, I don't think the block's in any danger of shrinking permanently. If you ask me, I have a feeling they're saving the 2AM hour for a replay of the [adult swim] Yule Log. As for what replaces Primal reruns at 2:30 in 2023, I'm guessing reruns of FLCL Progressive and Alternative (hence why season 1's getting the marathon), as prep for Grunge premiering in the spring.
