Chiller's issue wasn't that it had numbers that low - as if you'd expect anything more from a specialty cable network that isn't even in the most basic of packages - but that the numbers dropped 89% from week 1 to week 2. But for as much of a failure as it was, it got me to actually watch (and like!) Is This a Zombie, and for that, I'm at the very least grateful.

We interrupt this lull between reruns for a special segment hosted by Pikachu and Meowth Popuko and Pipimi. They better get Brittney Karbowski in to do the dubbed version.

The Rising of the Shield Hero 5 Ultraman 18

Personally, I'm a little annoyed Albert didn't show up more. I was also expecting at least a cameo from Sherlock and Lily last episode, especially since they went to the trouble of bringing back Moriarty after his end-of-arc cameo.

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer 14 This show could really afford better animation, not that it's stopped the emotional beats from hitting dead-on. If it was as easy for me to cry at an anime as it is for you, I'd definitely be shedding tears right now.

Too soon!

Naruto Shippuden 413 Shinobi no Ittoki 2 Satomi's prominent absence from the OP animation gives me hope that she'll die before the show is half-over.

I know, and I'm exercising my right as an adult by choosing to save it for a later date, as opposed to right this second.

It's not like I'm never going to watch it, it'll just take longer than you want for me to get around to it.

Lupin the 3rd: Part 6 23 Patapata Hikousen no Bouken 8

I went into this episode with an unhealthy amount of dread. The moment I noticed all the one-off female characters from this half each had voice credits for this episode - Mylene, Gabby, Linfeng, Amelia, Muru, and even the deceased Hazel - I had a gut feeling that only got worse the moment Mathia went full sleeper agent in episode 19. I feared I would go into this episode and discover throughout the course of its 22 minutes that these characters, even those without an explicit connection to Tomoe, would wind up dead like Hazel. Offscreened in a fashion unseen since Appleseed XIII in 2011. (Trust me, the inconsistent CGI wasn't the only thing wrong with that show.) Now, after having seen it... I feel somewhat relieved that those still alive managed to survive. Sure, having all of them be Tomoe's pupils was a little lazy (if not unprecedented), and having them all enter Lupin's world to play a role, say a specific line in their native language so as to make him go full sleeper agent and return to Tomoe feels awfully manipulative; the latter coming off as even more ridiculous when you remember that some of their episodes had their run-ins with Lupin feel extremely coincidental, especially Muru's. (She wasn't even featured in episode 13's "women watching Lupin" montage, for pete's sake! Even Finn got screentime in that one, and she wasn't even part of Tomoe's trigger phrase plan!) But hey, the only thing worse would've been killing them off without the decency of an onscreen demise for forced drama, and personally, that's all that matters. Bonus: apparently Arianna lived! We never saw her onscreen, but after her bloody exit in episode 19, I thought she'd be dead for sure. But between Zenigata never outright specifying if she lived or died, Arianna's recording saying that Mathia stabbed her, not killed her, and that scene of Yata in a hospital waiting room, it appears that the ambiguity of her fate has shifted to the side of "I lived, bitch." Guess Yata was just being melodramatic, reacting to her losing consciousness from a grievous wound like Mister Pedro reacts to pretty much anything that inconveniences him. [noooooooo~!]

At this point, I'm just waiting for that "fuck it" excuse to get me off my ass and do so.

The thing to do is just ignore any and all news sites and get your world events updates from secondhand sources like the front page of Wikipedia, posts made to the Tumblr subreddits, and colleagues who do watch the news but know not to talk about it 24/7. My outlook on the world, even in this sub-era of history, has gotten much healthier as a result. Damn, those ones are pretty bad. Guess I made the right call, making the move from watching the block televised to via [as]'s website.

Eh, as long as it's still getting new stuff, gold or shit, I'm fine with whatever they're able to bring to the table. S1E7. IDOLATER was the one they accidentally aired the SD version for, not MEME.

Jury's still out on if I'll ever watch it or if it'll stay in the "wait until Toonami even if it never ever happens" bin with Mob Psycho and Demon Slayer's season twos, but holy fucking shit this OP is like crack for the eyes and ears I'm just that addicted to it.

I read that as "final chainsaw", and part of me thought "Good!" Let's hope whoever and whatever does get cut this time doesn't make me burst a blood vessel.

What an awfully pessimistic viewpoint for you to take, Blatch. Regarding Sentai's non-presence on the block, I was under the impression it was less Demarco being apathetic towards Sentai's eagerness to put as many shows as they could on the block, and more Sentai failing to promptly respond to Demarco's requests for talks regarding show acquisitions.
