Top Gun

Meanwhile most of this area is under a moderate drought. We've been scarce on rain for a few months now.

I immediately love this fucking weeb. The Back to the Future II flashback bit completely sent me.

Your future king of the pirates, ladies and gentlemen.

This series was absolute peak and I hope to God Viz is able to get a second season produced. We are all chicken stans. Also I love this show of all things managed to do the near-death poignant flashback far better than any of the bullshit Demon Slayer pulled.

Arise, chicken!

Dunno what the rest of you are talking about, I've genuinely enjoyed this show.

NICE DONG! ...that is all.

I prefer this:

I ain't sayin' she's a golddigger... Oh no, Carrot is 100% furry. Embrace it!

Thanks show, I really wanted to be emotionally devastated all over again tonight! In other news it's fun to remember the exact moment that Oda irrevocably broke me with Carrot. Turns out the furry thoughts can in fact catch you.

...I spoke entirely too soon.

Maid asshole guy. What a terrible night to have eyes.

Aww yeah, cock that lasts for hours.

The Goa Kingdom (including Foosha Village where Luffy grew up) is located in the East Blue. Anyone traveling from there to the Grand Line has to go over Reverse Mountain, so they'd naturally stop at Loguetown before doing so.

The initial problem wasn't Jiji's fault at all, and Momo wanted to help her childhood friend (and Okarun initially tagged along because he was mad jelly). As for the second, Jiji is showing basic human compassion for a pitiable creature that has known nothing but pain and suffering for its entire existence. Yes, keeping the Evil Eye around is an objectively bad idea and isn't remotely tenable over the long-term. Assistant guy is right, it should be exorcised despite Jiji's feelings. But as Seiko put it, what if there was another way, one that just for once protected children from just how terrible the world is? She clearly wants to believe in that world. And Okarun is so committed to helping because, well, Jiji's his friend, and you help your friends no matter what. To paraphrase my favorite book, "The pity of Jiji may rule the fate of many."

No, Roger was executed in Loguetown, the island in East Blue that's located closest to the entrance to the Grand Line. Fun fact from some stuff that the Toonami run skipped past: that lovely piece of shit king in the hotel room is actually...Sabo's adopted brother. Can't pick your family, right? Very, VERY previously on One Piece. Alabasta remains one of the all-time great arcs of the series, especially its climax. In the original anime version Luffy's final blow against Crocodile featured a spectacular music choice, Dvorak's New World Symphony. Absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it: Y'know it's funny just how many times over the past several years that the Toonami run has had nigh-perfect synergy with something going on in the current broadcast episodes, and this week is no exception. Suffice it to say that even though the Reverie gets sandwiched between much longer arcs, it is an extremely big deal.

Whoops, they left in a few shots of the no-no symbol in the recap at the start. Naughty!

I like how this tried to pull the shitty Demon Slayer/Bleach thing of throwing in a random tragic backstory right at the end as if that would make us give a shit about a terrible character.

Did this dense motherfucker suddenly discover that PEOPLE COULD STAND BEHIND OTHER PEOPLE.

Jiji is a Genuine Certified Good Boy and I will hear no slander against him.

"Kaio wha--?"

NEXT TIME, ON CHICKEN EGG Z!

The Lupin theme is THE iconic anime song as far as I'm concerned. What an absolute legend.

What is this "cleaning" you speak of?

I love that monke Aramaki is finally getting animated.
