Top Gun

Yes, because we use a completely ass-backwards slavery-enabling system to elect our most important office.

Raya kicked ass.

Fascist chode says what?

The Korean animation studio DR Movie animated that segment. They've done in-between animation and background work for literally hundreds of anime series over many years, including Death Note.

That was pretty fun, if played rather straight. I really liked how they went for the full-on DRAMATIC WRITING SCENE. Honestly though, I thought the last segment of the episode was straight-up fantastic. That was probably the first new Simpsons episode I've watched in almost 15 years, and it was a lot more enjoyable than I expected.

What an irredeemable cunt.

Except Toonami is almost certainly dealing directly with Toei for this current run, as it seemingly is for TMS with Lupin. I think that's the real way the block maintains any sort of viability at this point: cultivate those long relationships with Japanese production companies that you've established, and take advantage of the fact that many of them still see prestige value in having their properties air on American television. This felt like kind of a mixed bag of news, even if a lot of it was presumably outside of the block crew's control. I'm genuinely excited for MiA season 2, but that's tempered by them not being able to show the movie. I've seen it before and have easy access to it for a quick rewatch, but it sucks for those who haven't seen it yet. I highly encourage everyone to take a look at it beforehand if you can, since it will directly set up where the trio are to start this season. Leading off the block with a season 5 MHA rerun seemed like a profoundly stupid move, but the fact that they're starting right at the end of the season made my raise my eyebrows quite a bit. Hopefully they can pull an end-around on Monopolyroll and get access to season 6 by some miracle. Also not a fan of dropping down to a single OP episode per week, as that really kills the pacing, and it's hard enough to fill up the block as-is right now.

Damn, that sounds like almost exactly what I'm dealing with. I got a few days of peace after the flu shot effects, and then out of nowhere I got slammed with the driest most awful cough I've ever had, which has mostly transitioned into being a phlegmy mess. Tested negative for Covid on multiple days so it's not that. Could this shit just, like, chill for a minute?

Jingo has a stiffy for the days when only rich white male landowners could vote.

Even having my own bathroom I always lower the lid before flushing because it's gross otherwise.

I keep saying, home urinals. Solves the whole damn problem.

So what, are you implying that it's a good thing that your average American voter is too mind-numbingly stupid to have any sort of convictions deeper than "muh gas prices"? That candidates can pretend they have any control whatsoever over massive global economic cycles and get away with it?

In lighter news...

"Auditor? I 'ardly know 'er!"

No, I don't even mean how it was allowed to happen, i mean why the hell these companies wanted to merge in the first place. What did they get out of it other than a mind-boggling mountain of debt?

So like...can anyone explain like I'm 5 why the fuck this merger happened in the first place if it automatically put the companies in question into an inescapable financial hole?

His music always fucking sucked.

And there it is, folks.

Narrator: "A better version came along later."

I think I've seen someone mention it here before, but one Sentai property they could go after if it's available is Ushio & Tora. It's a 2015 MAPPA adaptation of a mid-90s shonen manga that's apparently pretty badass. Can't imagine it would cost an arm and a leg either.

I don't remember who this person is or why I'm supposed to give a shit about them.

So he's literally McGruff the Crime Dog.

Not Covid-related per se, but goddamn my flu shot fucked me UP this year. I'm used to my arm hurting like a bitch for a few days, but this time it straight-up gave me the full suite of symptoms and I feel like ass. And of course it waited to kick in until I was already at work. A smarter me would have just gone home.

I mean if he insists...

I'm sure there's something to this story but at the same time don't be that guy who links the Daily Mail.
