We already got that with Alita but people just don't goddamn want to watch it for whatever stupid reasons they have.

No amount of whores will make up for how they hurt me with that movie.

Doing some research as I wait outside divorce court to console a depressed Endeavor over the marriage he ruined: Fena- Is he a Disney princess now? Your brother's hotter than you. Goddamn witches. I hope Fena's hair grows out soon to look less like a choppy mess she cut in the dark. Shut up, twins. Oh hey, her hair looks better already. Oh hey, it's the whores again. Kinda rooting for eyepatch lady here. The nail extractor is his boot. Watch out for Balrogs in that mine. Get that skull off your face before you get cursed. I sure hope she's not accidentally leading us right into a death trap. I think Fena's possessed, y'all. No shit he's in love with her. The Fuck Sherpa knows. You just gotta say the right word in elf language and that thing'll pop open. Well that was easy. Sweet magic fire. More funky glass stuff. Well, that's new. Probably not a good idea to just wander off alone like that but go for it. Now time for some grave robbing. And then Fena got kidnapped because of course she did. Okay I guess we're after gold now. It's fine, they've only got a 25% chance of guessing the right direction. Oh yeah, there's definitely no way out of this place they're totally doomed. Fena it's time for you to learn how to punch some bitches in the tits. Mary's definitely gonna betray the other whores for archer's dick eventually, calling it now. Hero- Natsuo's FRONT BACK shirt still cracks me the hell up. Mmm, tasty inferiority complex. Oh this guy is thirsty. Hey, we finally found somebody who's got an unhealthier obsession with Endeavor than I do! Well this is a depressing subject. I like Natsuo and I approve of him not forgiving his shit dad. The angriest tofu request. Well, that can't be good. I like the driver. Dude's really starting to infringe on my brand here. God what a fucking mood. Please save this cute sad boy. Aww, he's completely useless on saving his son because he cares. I have said way too many things way too similar to this guy's dialogue. FUCK YEAH, KIDS. HUGGING! Bakugo hates hugs. That's also how I feel when the ridiculously hot fire daddy doesn't just destroy me. Not now, Bakugo! The hell did you do to that dead kid? I like all the people just honking at them in the middle of the street. Natsuo is a good boy. I'm glad that he still doesn't forgive him. God this character development is delicious. That is a bizarrely specific power. I'm fully ready to have Garbage Dilf destroy us all. Please tell me he went with KING EXPLOSION MURDER. I love how Hawks being thirsty as fuck for Endeavor is just canon. Sooo when's your meeting with divorce court scheduled? Yashahime- Aw shit we're in Alien now. I don't like this. I hate you, discount Shippo. Sweet, free steak! I prefer Dr Stone's version of silver and gold bros. Just let them kill each other and do your job for you. Surely this will end well. Moroha is still best girl. Maybe I'll luck out and they'll kill each other while they're brainwashed. Whelp, y'all done fucked up. Did they ever explain what the point of those rainbow pearls even is? Snake titties. Betrayed by the snake titties. Yeah sure this is some kind of emotional bonding moment between siblings, whatever. Setsuna who the FUCK do you think it was back then. How did you miss that your knife's on fire? Maybe a meteor will crash down and take them all out before Moroha gets there. Oh no, it's so sad that these random snakes dudes who I have no attachment to are suffering. And nothing of value was lost. Moroha is suffering. Food Wars- I hate everyone. If Megumi wins I'm flipping a table. Who the fuck is Kuga. I've already lost track of what round this is and what their ingredients are. Don't worry I'm sure Soma will magically pull a win out of his ass with some random technique that nobody expects. I hope they all get food poisoning. Just break their hands with a lead pipe, that'll take 'em out. This catgirl is annoying. She's like three feet tall just beat her ass and take the IDs back. BUTTER. I hope Megumi loses and cries. Fucking hell could you give her an easier ingredient to make a good dessert out of? My trick for apple pie is to mix brown sugar and cinnamon into the crust so you get extra flavor in every bite. Clover- How will this show leave me disappointed and unsatisfied tonight? Sister fucker somehow not dying is the biggest crock of shit. You don't need them I'm volunteering my hatred for your personal use! These two sniping at each other is definitely doing this for me. Again, just an untapped fountain of hate right here you can use to kill your enemies. I'm also trying to get Yami for my own personal use. I like this plan and I hope he succeeds. This show doesn't deserve Charmy. I'm definitely rooting for this evil hot bitch. That is one angry sheep. Nevermind, she's awful. I forgot she's some kind of weird gnome hybrid. Isn't this like, the second hot beauty-obsessed bitch that charmy's fought? Oh right, the worst fire sibling is here. Call yoru better siblings, kid. You suck, kid! If you lose this fight your sister is going to march into hell and murder you again. Oh what the hell is this. Noelle, still a massive bitch for no reason. Oh this guy's disgusting. Kill them, evil lady. Will we ever get more than three minutes of Yami fighting in an episode?

Catch me reading this as I wait outside divorce court to console Endeavor over the marriage he ruined.

God what a fucking mood.

Okay dude is really infringing on my brand here.

Hey look, there's finally somebody who's got an unhealthier obsession with Endeavor than I do!

I'm surprised Sparkle Boy didn't rank.

Counter-theory: The knee-jerk live action haters are a flock of insufferable crybabies that will jump at basically any excuse to complain about their precious cartoons being sullied.

Me yesterday: I may be bad with money but at least I'm not buying another irresponsibly expensive Endeavor figure Me today: Okay this is the last one I swear

0/10 no Dragon Waifu bikini

Note to Black Clover staff: Five minutes is not a satisfactory amount of time for Yami fighting. Fena- Surely that ominous dream means nothing. I goddamn love that dog. Oh hey, Yukimaru actually shows some emotion besides smacking them on the head. Date me, archer dude. I'd also like to handle his weapon I mean, what. Yeah, an easy girly weapon like a GUN. He's a good dude. And then his friend died, I assume. I'm with Fena there, he's real hot. She's trying. "Just stab the other guy" is the kind of advice on my level. Sweet, free food. "It's a rock." Helloooo beautiful German woman. This lady is just going full Young Frankenstein with that accent. I hate Chip and Dale. Bang her for information. Archer is just acting as some kind of Fuck Sherpa here and I can appreciate it. In return for sharpening his knife, you can fuck his granddaughter. Well that's a twist alright. I don't know shit about history. Okay I didn't expect this direction for the story. If you're not gonna bang her at least give archer dude a chance at her. Hey there, shady hot navy dude. Hero- I'm gonna fuck your dad, Shoto. Quick I need to stage a life-threatening emergency to get Endeavor's attention. Fuyumi is so pretty. Your suffering is delicious, garbage dilf. Everyone else in this family needs a hug. I honestly can't tell if full-bearded Endeavor is more or less attractive to me, further study is required. Natsuo is right and I respect him for not forgiving the dumpster fire of his dad. I promise I'm trying my hardest to kill him. Remember, any time Endeavor spends dating me is time that he's not traumatizing his family. Burnin is the best. It's almost unnerving that he's such a good teacher. Bakugo is a good friend. I'm gonna fuck your sister, Shoto. His shirt says FRONT and BACK and that cracks me up. Hey, keep your Food Wars out of my Hero Academia. I'm gonna fuck your brother, Shoto. Boy, this is awkward. Well this is depressing. Bakugo is suffering. I like having the main character look straight at the camera and say "It's fine if you don't forgive your abusive as shit parent." Oh no, this dead little bastard was adorable. His kids will never accept me as their new stepmom but I'm okay with that. Well that's not ominous at all. Yashahime- Hello there, random child. Goddamn monkeys. Moroha, still undefeatable winner for best girl. Moroha just took that bounty, you dumbass. Wait when did they actually realize they're cousins? I'm glad at least that Discount Shippo doesn't tag along much. Okay now this demon kid is adorable. He's got a point, that is a nice view. Dance for it, girls. Towa is still the worst. Well that's new. Hey look, your dad's corpse. You asshole how dare you kill that guy and make his adorable kid sad. Nobody asked for you to be here, Myoga! Please help him avenge his father. Moroha no! No kid, Towa fucking sucks. Moroha you might wanna lay off the dramatic speech and just get to the makeup next time. I don't care what happens to Towa just don't hurt the little boy. Remember who you are, Simba. Can we take the kid with us? Food Wars- I have leftover peanut butter frosting from a birthday cake I made and I cannot stop eating it, this seemed like the right time to announce that. I always wonder how much of this show is legit food knowledge vs complete made up horse shit. What in the hell did she just call him? Megumi in her natural state of panicked incompetence. I could go for some smoked pork right about now. Every time they pronounce his name as "Skasa" it annoys me more than other things in this show. This guy looks like an asshole and I hate him. I hate the mimic guy. I've never cared how cute my food was. I also that that announcer girl. Fuck off, Rindo. Yeah sure everybody is hungry and orgasming can we just move on. Lady you better get that pepper away from your vag right now. Suffer, all of you. I hope they cry. Clover- I'm still obligated to marry Evil Seitz for stabbing the sister fucker. Kill them all. Wow they're really just making her Cinderella for her backstory. "It'll be sad and embarrassing just like you are" is exactly how I'd describe damn near everything in this show. Aw hell I don't like where this is going. GET OUT OF HERE, SISTER FUCKER. Please god just let him die for real. Oh my god girl you manage to have the worst standards in this entire fucking series. I hate everything! Goddammit Seitz you already have me and my hatred is the most powerful magic of all. Hi Yami. Fight for my love, boys. Man, if only this fight was in a better show. Dude I'm sitting here offering to marry you. This is doing things for me. Meanwhile, everyoen else sucks too. Oh great, the simp is here. Maybe I'll get lucky this time and they'll kill each other. I never get anything good in this show.

It's like this dumpster fire of a show is trying to win my approval after far too long.

But what can you realistically do with that information? Unless you have the ability to get tens of thousands of people watching the block, does knowing the ratings give you anything more than some bit of idle trivia or fodder to worry about the block?

Genuinely, who the hell cares? Our "contributions" as customers to most businesses aren't just openly shared like that, so why should it matter here? Like, the grocery store isn't reporting to me, some random schmuck who shops there, a list of their profits every week and a breakdown over how well each department did. "Is the block doing well enough to continue" is really the only question that matters, and the answer is clearly yes.

I'm mostly just confused how they managed that.

Is she expecting soon or is she expecting in January when they'll actually be dubbing the show? Five months is really stretching the idea of "soon" in a pregnancy.

Don't get much more mainstream than this.

Honestly that's fair. Fena- I like the cute navy guy, how long before he dies? Helloooo hot eyepatch lady. Whales are awesome. I like the cute archer guy, how long before he dies? Chip and Dale here annoy me but I like the girl. He likes whores, I have a chance! Definitely go with the full suit of armor. Alright, I guess the cute outfit works too. I love this dog. Oooh shiny things. It's a rock. I need an adult. Holy shit a lighter! Oh hey, we get an actual clue. Aw hell it's that guy. I can get behind some fightin' wenches. I enjoy that nobody actually seems to like Yukimaru. I hope they teach this girl to fight soon. I hate these twins. Just pick her up and carry her like a sack of potatoes. Shit there's no floor here! He's gonna need a bandaid. I have no idea if this navy kid is a boy or a girl. Archer guy is my boyfriend. Aw hell, cute navy guy is evil. Helloooooooo hot eyepatch lady, again. Hero- I'm gonna fuck your dad, Shoto. Meanwhile, tea party. Don't do drugs, kids. I love dragon waifu. Selkie is the best. Pocket sand! Gee I wonder who they'll team up with. I goddamn love Selkie. Here's your contractually-mandated beach episode. This is definitely the best use of everyone's time while they're supposed to be training for a villain war. Aww turtle. They murdered that turtle. I forgot Nejire can fly. Guys I think the giant dragon might be tracking you. Fog power seems like a really shitty quirk. Seal Punch! How did y'all miss a wholeass plane? Uraraka missile, go! Those Gunhead Martial Arts just keep paying off for her. Uraraka honey you can just float the crates. Good job girls. I'm disappointed we didn't get bikini dragon waifu. I'm sure that mysterious country isn't relevant to the movie at all. Hey look, an obvious tie-in for the movie. Yashahime- I hate you, replacement Shippo. I can also be bribed with gummy bears. Oh, it's this asshole. Now there's seven of these magic rocks? HOOT HOOT MOTHERFUCKER. He just looks like a Pokemon ripoff. Towa is the worst of the girls. Joke's on you, she's dead inside. He would be horrified to look inside my mind. Hi, dream Miroku. Wait, replacement Shippo is a boy? Oh hey, Kagome and Inuyasha. Well that seems ominous. So are they dead or what. Fuck off, Kikyo tree. Hi, Sesshomaru's child bride. I feel like that was a suspiciously easy victory. This seems like a trap. Whelp, you're screwed. Her true form is definitely someone's fursona. She did the thing! Stab her in the face. Towa still goddamn sucks. Oh hey, she's actually doing something right. Here, have a bag of gold. This dude definitely isn't shady as fuck. Food Wars- I don't care about any of these people. It's amazing how quick I forgot most of this arc. I hate every single one of you. I do vageuly respect this big guy who appears to not give as ingle fuck about any of this. I hate Rindo and the fact that everyone seems to love her just makes me hate her more.Green tea kit kats are pretty good. I don't even really remember whiich team most of these people are on. GATOR NO. At least that gator doesn't have to be in the show anymore. I hate how hungry this show makes me. Fuck off, Soma. Don't call him the winner, don't encourage his horse shit. That's a lot of peppers. I've had gator nuggets before, they basically just taste like chicken nuggets. I have the spice tolerance of a five year old, my mouth is burning just seeing this shit. Clover- Just when it looked like there'd be some actual stakes in this fight, everyone who even vaguely mattered was magically revived. Murder them all, evil Seitz. Charmy still best character. It's nice that they took all those border towns offscreen so I didn't have to bother watching it. Oh right, that's the demon that did all that shit. Somebody kinkshame that guy. I hate you, sister fucker. I forgot about the dimestore Addams family. Please kill sister fucker first. I am once again being seduced by Patrick Seitz. Just kill even one of them and you can have me as your bride. Goddammit cat! Dude I'm right here with my big boobs and eternal capacity for hatred you can exploit. Look with your special eyes. I would be the most powerful being in this world with the bottomless well of anger that fuels my soul. The cat's gone now kill them all. THANK YOU. Well I guess I'm obligated to marry him now. I miss you, twink Ryuk. I love seeing Asta suffer. This is doing this for me.

At least we got everyone's favorite feral hog son out of it. He almost makes up for Zenitsu being fucking unbearable.

I can see that point and I imagine it could work well for occasional productions, but I'm not sure how well the co-op method would work as a large-scale industry standard. I could see a handful of productions managing to come together for a series, but the industry overall probably can't survive off of like, five really well-done shows per year. I do think it'd be a benefit to everyone if shows were being made at once (does anyone really need another half-assed isekai harem anime with cute waifus and a dead horse of a story in any given year?), but obviously not to an unsustainable extent. I don't know enough about Japan's economy or anime production in general to really offer suggestions about how to improve things over there, but I feel like there's no easy answer. It's kinda way out of my wheelhouse to debate about market systems in general since I'm still failing the "Stop throwing money at Endeavor figures with excessively fat asses" challenge and I'm not entirely sure the above paragraph actually makes a fraction of sense to anyone else.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All workers in the anime industry deserve to be paid a living wage, but this sure is a weird anti-capitalism rabbit hole that this thread has gone down. Every single anime production (yes, even your favorite niche art house title) exists at least partially with the goal of turning a profit for its creators. Sure there'd still be some anime being made if the big bad capitalism boogieman wasn't a thing, but let's be honest here that most projects we've enjoyed over the years would have never seen the light of day. I don't think anybody really wants a Thief and the Cobbler situation where a creator toils away for 30 damn years on one single dream project, even if it's not ripped away by those greedy capitalist dogs at the last minute. There's a midpoint somewhere between "art exists entirely for art's sake and damn any concept of overhead control from the industry" vs "the capitalist pigs in power demand their daily blood sacrifice from the workers destroying themselves in the art mines creating anime waifus" and I'm not sure how nerds twisting each other's points to snipe back and forth online is doing any good with that.

I'm sorry, the what?

Tonight's theme is pirates, apparently. Fena- Quit blowin' holes in me ship! I'm already loving that hot eyepatch lady.Howdy, whores. Ohhh, that's gross. I love this dog. I like Angie for obvious reasons. Being broke sucks. I like Fena, she's spunky. Well, it's worth a shot when the alternative is getting fucked by some rich creep. Whelp, this plan's gone awry. HEY KOOL-AID MAN! Aww, they came to save her. The pervert is angry. Shit they can't tell directions. Good luck, fat guy. Goddammit just let the girl lead. Good luck, old guy. This is just my whoresona. Oh he's cute. Whelp, grandpa tried. I'm not entirely sure these guys are on our side. This could be going better. I don't like where this is going. I'm rooting for whoever this is. I hope this is her childhood boyfriend. We're all just looking for a decent man who's not evil. Well this would have been a heartfelt reunion. "Remember the good old days when you'd hit me with a stick?" Good doggy. Oh good, they took the puppy with them. Fuck yeah, pirate dog! Well, that's different. All ashore to the creepy magic island. Welcome to fantasy Japan. Quick question, why the hell are we here? Protect this fancy chunk of glass with your life. Hold it up to the light and see what happens. Here, have a new friend. HAMMER. That is a sweet bow. Hello there, attractive shirtless guy. She is adorable. Calm your shit, Chip and Dale. Where's your glasses, Jin? Yukimaru is hot, date him. Oh, haircut. You have their bow and their axe. Oooh fancy boat. Aww, the old dudes can't go. Correction, fancy SUBMARINE pirates. Chalk another one up on the concussion counter. I hope her whore friend's okay. Hero- Date me, Hawks. It's probably not a good thing that the League of Villains is here too. The kids love Hawks. Well that sounds ominous. This is great because I'd happily listen to Seitz read a phone book. Burnin' is my wife. Tokoyami is a good boy. FUCK YEAH BOTH HARDBOYS ARE WITH FATGUM. I'd also like to be under Endeavor if he's offering. "I blow up my own limbs." Oh no, you've activated his analysis power. Meanwhile Bakugo being his usual angry little bastard self. Shoto is a good boy. It's okay to hate your garbage dad, I love him enough for both of us. He's a surprisingly good teacher for such a terrible person. Bakugo he's been doing this since before you were born. Would I throw myself in front of a truck to get Endeavor to rescue me? Absolutely yes, I can't even deny that. I'm gonna fuck your dad, Shoto. Yashahime- It's nice to see that Kohaku actually grew up to be good at his job. Here, have another pirate ship tonight. You can't fool me Crispin I know it's you. I could go for a burger. You kinda suck, Towa. Kaede's too old for this shit. He's suspicious, stab him. How do you go the wrong way, you just look at the fucking mountain and walk towards it. He's a water bender. Boy you sound like a shitty pirate. Remember Kagome giving absolutely zero shits about leaving things in the past? It's a trap, you fucking idiot. Oh, this was back from the first episode. Goddammit Kagome. I hate you, girl Shippo. How many of these goddamn pears are there? Couldn't you just try setting that bear on fire? Moroha continues to have absolutely zero competition for best girl. HOOT HOOT MOTHERFUCKER. Like fuck is Towa the most reliable at anything. Clover- Swole Asta is still deeply, deeply disturbing. Just kill them all, evil dude. I fucking hate that fairy. Wow, what a coincidence that this guy just starts throwing insults at the old king without knowing he's fighting the lost prince who just learned about his family. I want them all to die. Who's this nerd? "We should use the dead elves' magic for the sake of our kingdom, who did actually kill them back in the day. It's what they'd want." Fuck off Yuno just let them all die. Jesus fucking christ Tink make up your mind, do you want girls paying attention to him or not giving a shit? Am I finally lucky enough to have someone die? Thank you, evil Hawks. He is officially the best character if they're actually dead. Cry harder, Tinkerhell. Goddammit of course I'm not that lucky. Goddammit Dimestore Griffith there were almost actual consequences to this! Half the squad died, but conveniently it was the half made up entirely of background characters who were never given any focus.

I mean, I get doing that if it's a subject that actually matters but these are just weebs on Twitter screeching about the companies that air their cartoons. You'd have to actively try to find a subject that matters less than that.
