Oh, this is a good day.

Yeeeee haw. My body is ready.

Brotherhood is 64 episodes. It's probably split like that because in the US it was originally released in five sets over the course of about a year.

This just keeps getting funnier.

He lives on in my heart.

The hell did you manage that?

Me, seeing the phrase "fire fucked" and then being sorely disappointed: The show's still at extreme risk of being fucked now because they have absolutely no buffer. If Japan fails to send over an episode to FUNi on time, which is a real risk considering how often anime productions get down to the wire, then Toonami has nothing to air the next night. I know MHA could only guarantee the first six episodes of season 3 would be out dubbed same-day, and even though they kept it up for a surprisingly long time after that they still ended up falling behind and had to go on a two-week waiting period. It's much too risky.

You were right, it was Science Boy. Gen Lock- Oh good that guy's alive. Doc blew the fuck up at point-blank range I don't think he's coming back. Well, that was a lucky save. "Oh, oh damn" is also how I react to most bad news. You could always date the robot, he's got like half his brain in him. Tell him he's got a small dick and wait for him to rage out. Oh, you're fucked. YEET. Please tell me somebody combines Gurren Lagann style before the end of this. Shut up and merge. Aw fuck he just regenerates. Get it, Val. You're wasting time just get in the mind orgy. Whelp, you're fucked. Sorry dude you're never getting your dick back. And now you're dead. That can't be a good thing. Who the hell is that? I'm not being snarky I genuinely don't know who this is. Oh hey it's your ex. How many times is he gonna die this episode? MIND ORGY, GO. That went surprisingly well. Oh that's a lot of clones. Whelp, that guy is fucked. Can you still fuck in the hologram world? I still have no idea what the Union is. Dr Stone- Oh right Senku died. They could have been friends! Taiju's gonna need a hug. Fuck you, Kars. Don't you touch my good boy. Take your anger out on this rock. FUCK YEAH, SCIENCE. Eat shit, Kars. OH COME ON. Uh honey I think you're a little late for CPR. Well that's some horrifying foreshadowing. He somehow switched his neck with a fake one, calling it. Oh shit it's a rock. Now try mouth-to-mouth. That is some conveniently growing moss. Hey monkeys. Censor scribble. The monkeys. You lost me on the math 10 seconds into this conversation. I love these douchebag monkeys. You need to work on your handjob game. Fuck these rocks in particular. SHINY MONKEY ACQUIRED STONE TOOLS. Oh sweet he made a fire thingy. Suck it, monkeys. You'd think he would have gotten stronger over all this time but I guess not. RIP Bambi. Senku honey that's not how you make clothes. I like hte implication that he hand-stitched the E=MC2 into his shirt just for the aesthetic. Meanwhile, he's still dead. Fire Force- How will this show leave me disappointed and unfulfilled today? I do enjoy how that one guy apparently fights with a fucking tuba. I hate Tamaki a little more every time I see her. Bitch don't you have fire catgirl powers or some shit that are a paper-thin excuse to have your tits out and get molested? Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll all die. The what now? "Oh man I have murdered SO MANY kids for this!" And we pause for gratuitous tits because fuck you, viewers. I hate this show. How is this worse than the show where people literally orgasm on screen over cabbage? COME AT ME BRO. Look, look at her tits, we demand it! Oh right, there's still a bunch of kidnapped children here. I don't think that's how oxygen works. Why wouldn't he set kids on fire, they're weak and easy to trick. You'r'e in a cult, dude. Todoroki intensifies. Thank god at least somebody died. Hey there Seitz are you hot in this? You don't need arms. Shoot them with your magic tuba. I demand she be executed. Arthur is now Zoro. Heyyy Cap'n Sexy. SON OF A BITCH I HATE THIS SHOW. Food Wars- She made that because she's too stupid to think of anything else. I agree with everyone shitting on her. Fail her. That's impressive considering she spent half the challenge cryiing about it. I'm pretty sure your teachers know how to make sundried tomatoes without your explanation. I hate you all. Y'all do realize that Soma did like 80% of the work on this, right? Fail her. HAHAHAHAHA EAT SHIT. Is the show over now? THIS IS BULLSHIT. Okay but he's right about all of this, she lost fair and square and kick her ass out. Holy shit I don't care about this backstory. And then racism. Man why is he not the main character this is infinitely more interesting than Soma. YEE HAW. Isn't this just Ratatouille? This is some horse shit. And she's saved until the next time Soma has to jump in and save her ass from utter failure. No shit you lost you're like 15 fighting a professional chef. I don't yet hate the bros. Clover- He still in a coma? Yeah, getting a limb ripped off is usually pretty bad. Y'all really didn't figure out that guy's a traitor? You're both terrible. This is exhausting. Gee that's not ominous at all. Christ Mimosa have some standards. He's not shy he just hates you all. I'm too old for this shit. Just insult me to my face here, you absolute cunt of a show. She's so angry and I relate to that in my very soul. Someone please kill Tinkerbell. Douchenozzle just wants to see some carnage. Holy shit that guy's voice is deep. Your best plan is to use Asta as a human shield. God I hope most of them die. No, you're the goddamn obnoxious one. Murder them, fire lady. Oh I don't like where this is going. This is probably a trap. You're right, you're just gonna get in her way. Lupin- Last time, Lupin got shot in the gut again. Damn Fujiko's got some arms on her. That necklace looks great. Fuck you, monk dude. Where did she even get that rocket launcher?! Well at least she's nice enough to spare Ami. Don't trust this priest. Well this guy with the tragic backstory is definitely gonna die. It's nice that Fujiko bothered to learn first aid to help anyone else. Distract yourself by staring at her tits. He's definitely playing the cold thing for attention. God I wish that were me. PIRATE FUJI. This is a great birthday gift, thank you show. I mean, I'd also be heartbroken if I lost out on Fujiko. Oh crap Zeni you''re gonna get yourself arrested. Sorry king you're about to get shot. HEY KOOL-AID MAN. Aww they're friends now. You don't know how to throw things? YEET. Congratulations, you just killed your first truck full of people. Fujiko I love you. She's being a diversion, you idiot. HI FUJIKO'S TITS. Fucking drone. God I love her. Well this dude's about to die. LUPIN WHAT THE FUCK. Awwwwww. Wait what. GIVE ME THE JUICY DETAILS. Hero- I have an unhealthy love for that Villain Might costume. Watching that movie is just putting up with my thirst for 90 minutes straight.

Is it me because they're showing All Smite for my birthday?

They're not gonna air the episodes before Japan does.

It wasn't just a handful of people making up lies on the internet. FUNi did an entire investigation before deciding to end a professional relationship they've had going for 20 years. Like, if Sabat says he and Vic were both guests at ShitCon 2013 and he saw McNuggets put his balls in a plate of Jello and then try to feed it to underage girls, there's a record of that. FUNi just contacts the folks over at ShitconCon and asks if they have any information about this alleged thing, and they either say "Oh yeah, the Ol' Jello Balls incident, that sure was weird. Here's the incident report and security footage about it," or "We have no evidence to corroborate that this happened," or "Sorry, we only keep security records for five years; we can't confirm or deny it," and FUNi takes stock of whatever they can get from that lead. They don't just shrug and go "Well three voice actors have shitty things to say about Vic, we'd better burn that bridge without a second thought." Also, what kind of shady de-facto shadow leader, who according to legend can build and destroy his coworkers' careers at will depending entirely on his own personal tastes, still takes two goddamn decades to oust one dude from his legion?

Toonami couldn't keep One Piece going on the block. It'd just be a waste of money and a timeslot to pick up the other long-runner that looks like the generic Walmart version of One Piece and expect people to watch it.

GenLock- Are these two gonna fuck or what. So they're definitely tracking Hologram Man here aren't they. Gee maybe they're using the mental link you have with your evil twinbot. And then the robot was the doctor. Well, that's convenient. This "you're all very special to me" speech rings kinda hollow knowing he recorded it before he knew most of them. Welcome to NASA. Find a way to fuck the hologram. Well this is ominous. Oh hey it's that guy. Oh shit is that ProZD? This is the ex-wife ain't it. Oh hey there's some form of backstories here. This seems like it's going way too well. At least they look cooler now. ROBOSHOGUN. She's a bunny. Whelp, somebody's gonna die. Dr Stone- GUN. Aww happy science boy. Awww Taiju. He's a good boy. Cooking show. TAIJU SCREAMING is my favorite gag. MECHA SENKU says don't make bombs. NEED A POUNDIN', BRO? Well shit. And then they blew up. Stop killing people and we won't shoot you. Fuck you, Kars. Yeah he definitely knows where you are now. WHAT. Blow more shit up! Uh maybe you shouldn't use up all your gunpowder. Oh damn that's the secret fourth use. FUCK YOU, KARS. Senku's got some balls of steel. Don't hurt her, Taiju will cry. Hey her hair looks cute. To be fair, we all love Taiju. EAT SHIT, KARS. Science boy no. There's more people! Oh hey it's a girl. Senku x Science is my OTP. Tiny Senku is adorable. AWWWW. This random old man is great. Tiny Taiju! Oh my god Tiny Senku. Aww look at the dolls. SUCCESS. Really shouldn't have used up all that gunpowder. Jesus christ. You could still be friends it's not too late. NO NOT MY SCIENCE BOY. That's it, show's over. Fire Force- Hey there boyfriend. Goddamn mosquito. Again, what is it with the nun fetish, Toonami? I can understand the guy who's just here for titties. Every time they pull the bullshit fanservice with her I age like that guy at the end of Indiana Jones. Whelp, somebody's dead. Shit's not suspicious at all. Don't blow your cover, asshole. Maybe she wouldn't get molested as often if they let her have actual clothes. JUGGERNAUT. Excalibuuuur, excalibuuuur. Y'all done fucked up now. Yeah just believe him whole hog no questions asked. Oh what the fuck now. Whelp, they're about to kill a bunch of kids. Yeah sure waste that time here while the kids get immolated. Well, thanks for kicking her into silence at least. "I'LL MURDER AS MANY CHILDREN AS I NEED!" Well, the kid didn't die at least. He's Gen Lock compatible. Or you could grow a set and fight him yourself, you pathetic waste of tits. Boot to the head. Not gonna lie, I kinda hope boyfriend gets killed off so I can drop this show sooner rather than later. Food Wars- Expel him. You look less attractive with clothes on. Stick by your decision to expel her and you'll be my favorite character. This is bullshit. He's got a point, she sucks at everything. "He'd tear us a new one, and not in a good way," dude what the hell does that mean. Oh no, she has to actually fucking work. Thank you, someone FINALLY calls them on their shit. "Petrified dimwit" is an accurate description of her. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, BITCH. Can we see your dad again instead of this bullshit? So you've wasted like half the goddamn challenge at this point. To be fair, Megumi absolutely deserves to be expelled for the complete lack of skills she's shown. No shit it has to be done quickly, you wasted the entire challenge shitting your pants. He's still doing all the goddamn work, how is this allowed? It's a cabbage hot pocket. Aging like the Cryptkeeper here, show. Just fuck the cabbage already. The Legume Magician is a terrible name. And then Sailor Moon. So are we actually supposed to like Megumi or what. Clover- Hi there, fairly decent character. Hey she brought booze! Did she always have that weird little fang? I enjoy watching Yami hate things. Oh my god you're an unbearable bag of garbage. You fucking failed, obnoxious Dandy. Wait who else got in is there another one I forgot? Stop insulting me, show. Wait the fat guy's on their squad? Kill them all, angry fire lady. Oh no what a shame Dimestore Griffith isn't here. Oh, there's Hisoka. Wait since when is he on the Bulls team? Hey Captain Sexy. Stop screaming you dipshit. This uniform kinda sucks. Nobody likes you, Asta. How do you just run out of fabric you have magic you can just make more. Oh, it's that douche. I don't know if this is new information or if I just don't give enough of a shit to remember it. Just save time and kill them all now. Oh god what the fuck now. At least somebody got laid. I don't know if these elves? are supposed to look like other people or if the character design is just that lazy. Lupin- I hope Fujiko's still in her underwear. Oh you bastard. Aww she put her clothes back on. Oh hey, it's Lupin's friend who shot him. Sweet car. Jigen and Goemon are confused by technology. Jigen can't smoke, we can't stay here. HI FUJIKO. We all dream of banging Fujiko in front a natural wonder of the world. Ami's just here to help her friend. Oh she's cute. Fujiko's tits can solve all problems. Awww she loves her. Huh, so that's how he makes the masks. SHE'S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU, LUPIN. Poor guy got uniform jacked on his birthday. This is probably not a good thing. Fuck the CIA. Ami's fucking brutal. Sweet dance moves. Oh hey Zenigata. Well now he's suspicious. Yeah this definitely isn't a trap. Hey there Lupin. Wow that's a little intense for you. Never trust a man with a southern accent. Go save your friend! That's definitely not Jigen in disguise. Oh you're gonna get shot again, Ami. Fuck you, sir. Kick him in the dick! Hey Lupin. And then he was Best Jeanist. Awwww. Aw shit. WHAT. Man, Lupin's racking up a lot of projectile wounds in this series.

I can't imagine they'd keep Naked Tin Tin Adventures And Deku's There Too I Guess premieres at the ass-end of the block, especially when they'll likely be getting it only a month after it airs over in Japan.

Well sure if you wanna call it that.

Time to be weirdly attracted to this again.

I guess this pushes Slutty Vault Boy Season 4 back an extra week. That's probably for the best, just to get a solid buffer against breaks on Japan's side.

God, imagine getting arrested because you started flinging around death threats after your favorite cartoon voice man lost a court case that HE STARTED HIMSELF. I've fucked up a lot in my life but at least I'm objectively better than Vic stans.

Gen Lock- Y'know what Chase you can do better, find someone who appreciates you. I don't know if Val just got that cape or if they always had it and I never noticed but it's cool. Well this is an awkward conversation. So uh you're twins now. That is probably not a good thing. Yeah this is gonna end well. RUN AWAY, DEER! Yeah somebody's about to die. Oh they fucking. You're gonna get your ass kicked because you won't combine. This could be going better. Whelp, he's doomed. Save the guitar at all costs. I don't think dad's coming with you, kids. Not my fault. Just throw a cat at a motherfucker. Yeah that's a great idea just drive right past the mecha fight. Not today, missle! That's a lot of nanobots swarming all over the place. Sooo, that happened. Dr Stone- I'm kinda with Kars here, let's ditch the baby boomers. GODDAMMIT SWEET BOY. You heard nothing it's just vodka. Aww he made her a dresss. I love this sweet idiot. No don't let Kars get it. "Revival Juice" is also what I call good booze. Honey no we can't trust him. I love these boys. Oh no please work. YAY IT WORKED. I'm so happy for them. AWWWWWWWW. They're all good kids. Aw fuck Kars is back. You stay away from my kids. SWEET BOY NO. Oh shit he's got a crossbow. FUCK. He's so fucking stupid I love him. Oh fuck you Kars. Taiju broke. Man we're really living in a golden age for likable shounen protagonists. Fuck these pots. Y'all probably wanna sit her down and explain everything to her. I would be absolutely fucked without directions. Thank you Buddha. Awww. Just let him have this, Science Boy. DON'T HURT THE GREAT BUDDHA. Oh right we don't get meat anymore without Kars. Look at him go. Oh no is she re-stoning? Oh, those are cracks. Goddammit Kars is smart. Smartphones?! GUN. Fire Force- None of you are hot enough for me to care about. Hi boyfriend! MEAT. I'm so tired, show. Maki is my girlfriend. You're a terrible person and nobody likes you. I live in constant fear for this man's life. She's awful but I can't stop staring at her boobs. High five! What is WITH the nun fetish. MAKI IS MY GIRLFRIEND. This'll end well. That is one fancy building. I hate this guy already. Words are words. Nothing more subtle than naming your fire villain Captain Burns. So his long lost brother is somewhere in this squad, right? Try not to burn down the church. Calm down Captain maybe you should lift weights without a shirt for awhile. Is she wearing a maid outfit? Okay I enjoy this overly enthuiastic guy and the panicky one. More cowbell. Combined they make a whole Todoroki. Yeah sure I'm gonna assume this is scientifically sound. I fucking hate her. Uh dude your eye's on fire. I'm sure he'll win against a captain on his first try. Lightsaber denied. I'm rooting for eyepatch daddy here. No molestation for you today, girl! I swear I'm trying to like this show. Food Wars- The Body Improvement Club is pleased by this meal. Yes how disgraceful that someone heard you humming. I hate everyone. Oh hey, is this buff guy actually decent? When the meteor comes, this man is tentatively allowed to survive. Great, she was always intolerable. Show me his dick you cowards. Titties. Today's theme is lesbian shower hijinks. Stop humping the bed you weirdo. This kid's a mood. Megumi's a pathetic sadsack, we get it. No way you idiots have to follow an actual recipe, that's impossible? Sorry girl you can't just stand there and stammer your way out of this one. What part of not talking do you dumb shits not understand? Of course he passes, because fuck you. Please fail her. This seems like an obvious fakeout. Nobody cares what you think, kid. Please expel him too. Oh come the fuck on. Clover- Sorry show not even flashback Yami can make me care about anyone's backstory. Still don't trust Dimestore Griffith. I do enjoy watching Yami kill things. Okay that giant mole thing is adorable. Go beyond, plus ultra, whatever. No not the adorable dirt mole! Come on show the least you could do is rip his shirt off for me. So are they fucking or what. No he's golden Griffith, you're the Guts ripoff here. Was this filler? Oh it's the angry lady. Lupin- Ami's back! Aww she's making friends...or y'know, not I guess. Make friends with the archer girl. TOKOYAMI NO. I like her. Ooh it's shiny I want it. It's goddamn weird to see Lupin in a hoodie. HI FUJIKO. Soup's ready! I feel like this plot is not going to end well for them. Whales of Liberation isn't exactly the most fearsome name. SHE'S GOT A BOW. Oh, well now we have to kill them. Please go save the girls. Time to kill some people, Fujiko. Man this princess has balls of steel. I'm uncomfortable with this. THANK YOU FUJIKO. Doma is a fucking badass. HELLOOOO FUJIKO. Thank you show. God I'm gay. Aww Uncle Lupin. Oh fuck. Oh, I see we've hit the "plot takes a sharp turn into weird places" part of the show already.

Goddamn I'm gay for this.

You know damn well Vic fans don't leave their houses.

You mean someone was acting like they're on good terms with a coworker while working, even though she might actually fucking hate him? That literally never happens! Shit, look at how many actresses thanked Weinstein in their award speeches. ANN didn't report on Ron's domestic abuse because it wasn't that newsworthy. One guy beating his wife isn't a headline unless he's extremely famous. Someone who's s household name in the anime industry getting slammed for years of predatory behavior, with evidence and several other well-known professionals speaking out against him? Now that counts as news for the anime news site.

No, they were. There just wasn't a lot of attention paid to them before the last year or so when the general public decided that hey, sexual assault in the entertainment industry is bad. Plus a lot of people were apprehensive about naming him specifically out of fear of legal action or harassment (hey, look what's happened) and kept their stories intentionally vague but still easy enough to identify if you tried. I've had multiple friends over the past couple years, none of whom know each other or have anything else in common, mention creeped on and kissed by Vic at cons. "Narcissistic douchebag thinks he's God's gift to women and assumes teens want him to kiss them" isn't exactly behavior that's hard to repeat.

So I'm just gonna skip over the fact that Hunter's school sounds like it was staffed by predators just playing the jailbait waiting game on their favorite students, because I don't have time to unpack all that now. Funi having gross, skeevy operations STILL wouldn't excuse or justify literally anything about Vic's behavior. Like, if your work is stiffing people on payday, you don't get to rob your coworkers or customers.

It just fucking baffles me that his fans can come up with some weird conspiracy in which dozens of unrelated people, both within the professional anime industry and just fans, all came together over a decade ago with the singular goal of destroying Vic's career out of...jealously? Boredom? Feminist SJW brainwashing? Whatever the reason, they began quietly seeding the internet with stories about his inappropriate behavior, completely fabricating evidence or somehow tricking this pure-hearted man into innocent encounters that they knew would look bad later. Then, of course, they caused the #metoo movement that brought down Harvey Weinstein and finally gave their cult the opportunity to launch their attack, mercilessly ruining this poor soul for their own selfish amusement. This is all much more likely than the idea that this one specific dude with a huge reputation for being a creepy fucko is actually a creepy fucko and has a long history of doing bad things.
