Top Gun

It's a start at least.

We all wa shock.

I like how this thread starts as a fun thing about a young tennis phenom watching MHA, and it lasts all of two posts until Daos shows up and takes a massive unrelated shit all over it. You want to know why people are being defensive? Maybe because watching an incredibly successful black female athlete getting random accusations thrown at her after a career's worth of other gross comments is enough to make me raise a few eyebrows.

"This female athlete has more muscle definition than some other female athletes, clearly she must be roiding!" It's fucking gross. Did Serena ever test positive at any point in her playing career? No? Then why are you so hung up on this shit? Linking to some random-ass story from 2011 and using it to draw these grand conclusions, seriously?

I do understand that you're being a complete piece of shit about this, yes. Like, maybe take the open misogyny somewhere else?

So does Crunchyroll play nice this time now that they know [as] still has the dub premiere rights, or do they dick everyone over for 6 months again?

I watched all of that original season on [as], but I could not tell you a single thing that happened during it. It was like Anime: The Anime.

Literally every single one of the pictures you're posting has one arm in profile while the other's viewed from the top so you wouldn't see the other bicep regardless. They're also all in the middle of backhand shots when the leading arm is always going to be bent and flexing more. Look at any normal full-body shot of Serena and both of her arms look the same. It'd be utterly absurd to just do strength training on one side of the body anyway. Try again.

I just think it's dumb when both men and women do it because it's totally unnecessarily. I played tennis myself for a few years (granted at a very low level) and never once did I feel the urge to grunt when hitting a groundstroke. You never heard Federer make a peep during a point. It feels like a cheap tactic to try and distract your opponent or mask the sound of the ball impact. But I'm completely with you about the Serena criticism. Either show solid proof or cut that shit out.

Yep, and I can totally still fit into my skinny pants from middle school.

Plus Ultra baby.

I didn't even know this was a thing until hearing about the sentencing. Not that I ever watched much of the show.

Absolutely. It feels like it's doing its own thing for most of the run, and it has a solid cast of characters. If it wasn't a FLCL series it'd be great, but it winds up getting bogged down in the end by some dumb "plot" nonsense.

I tried to rewatch most of Progressive the other week to see if I'd maybe judged it wrong, but I had to give myself a break after two episodes because what the actual fuck.

Heh, my dad mentioned stumbling across Dexter's Lab while channel-surfing yesterday. Maybe this block might snag some of our parents too.

Never a fan of his music, but it was impressive how he managed to cultivate a fanbase and brand over decades.

I hate that I fell off of actively watching the show over its last season or two, because I would have loved to watch this now. I don't even remember the last episodes I watched so most of what happens would be lost on me.

There is no possible universe in which the score of a series on a random fan site would affect a broadcast contract.

I didn't say that either. We've been in empty mode this whole year.

Did I ever say that?

I'd rather have an empty block than one full of isekai trash.

WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER *stabs out own eardrums*

For some context, I saw this image posted in an article about the water release. Those are all storage tanks holding wastewater. Kind of mind-blowing.

LEONARD BERNSTEIN! (that's how it goes right)
