Yeah I hope the block doesn't just turn into a bunch of Crunchyroll shows, even if that's not "any time soon." I want more variety, and since Funimation basically has all the anime, it would be stupid to fuck up that relationship. Hulu... Funimation deal? But Funimation has its own streaming service. https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/hulu-funimation-anime-japanese-series-1203079274/ Uhh... ok. All these corporate shenanigans are confusing. x_x AT&T merging with Warner... and now Disney trying to buy Fox (which would also apparently buy Fox's stake in Hulu that I just found out about.) How the hell is this not considered monopolistic behavior?

Kill la Kill was basically aired under pain of death, and being an over-the-top parody probably helped. And there were a few edits, apparently.

So not only are you a hipster elitist "anime connoisseur" snob, you're a fuckin' puritan. And do you really want to tell me that Toonami has never aired any "no writing" shows before? In a rare move, Toonami flat out stated that Panty and Stocking would not air. Now, I can't speak to its quality, as I haven't seen it, but it was highly requested, and Toonami was unable or unwilling to air it, due to content. They basically aired Kill la Kill under pain of death. Also that show is an over-the-top parody, which probably helps its case. And remember how Demarco made a big deal out of getting Hellsing and Black Lagoon, to prove they could air the "big boy shows?" So Demarco has no issue with graphic violence, that type of adult content is a-okay, but fan service and nudity is verboten. Now, I'm not saying they should go and get a bunch of empty trashy ecchi shows, but Demarco shouldn't be shying away from shows just because of fan service. In fact, I will actually agree that some types of fan service do put me off and take me out of a show to an extent, like some of the awkward lingering shots that came across basically like a peeping tom or upskirter got ahold of the camera (basically going OKAY GUYS GET READY), which we had a few of those in SAO I, not as many in II. Thankfully III seems to have gotten away from that. But Demarco still aired that. I find the type of more organic and/or comedic fan service like you might see in Bleach or Fairy Tail much preferable to those shots in SAO.

EPISODE 6 DISCUSSION Yep, since the last episode switched from Underworld to the real world, my last recap was worthless. But! This time will be different! Last time on Sword Art Online: Alicization, Asuna, along with her and Kirito's friends, tried to find his whereabouts after he was moved from his original hospital after the attack by Johnny Black, the second half of Death Gun and member of Aincrad player killer guild Laughing Coffin. She got ahold of Kayaba's girlfriend and co-developer, Rinko Kojiro, and together they made their way to the ocean platform where Underworld was being run and Kirito was being held. Yui, a fake ID, and a brilliant disguise got Asuna in the door. Kikouka has an angry Asuna to deal with! Just what is going on with Kirito? Find out tonight, on Sword Art Online: Alicization, on Toonami!

Heh. They didn't show the part when they first get there and she goes "How do you do?" and shakes the guy's hand.

There's a scene in this where Asuna speaks perfect English to the security guy to convince him she's really the lady's assistant when they come on board. Wasn't sure how that would work in the dub, but looks like they didn't bother with it and here Asuna is simply acting polite and normal with her greeting instead.

Now I can kill you legally. Fuck. Guy is nuts. So I guess Fana isn't completely done after all. And now Asta went and pissed her off even more. Glowing eyes can't be a good sign. Good job Asta.

Too much magic or anti-magic. Makes sense to beat him that way!

Mars stopped it... really?

Lasers aren't an element? As in... light?

No element? What the heck. Of course he was trolling lmao.

Is Fanzell being given lesser budget to draw him specifically or does he just look kinda crappy?

OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH OF THIS

I would've sworn those things were just magically powered golems didn't have gears and doodads inside them. But good on her souping them up.

ABRUPT MUSIC VIDEO!

Killed a whole family. Fuck. I didn't expect Black Clover to go this dark. Is that ice or diamond she's using?

What the fuck is wrong with that guy's face and eyes. This guy is obnoxious as fuck. Of nude bum had seen the other arc he'd know he was fucked fighting just Mars, much less this smug freakface and a whole army.

Naw Vic is fucked.

So great to see Noelle take out that dragon with her own. BULL THRUST!

To try to claim he hasn't been completely blacklisted yet. Gotta calm his Risembool Rangers cultists.

Over the top rock paper scissors! Kid tried to commit suicide and Rohan jumps in front but the truck swerves and misses both of them because the picture of the old guy landed on the windshield.

Josuke, I can't stand that guy LOL. JOSEPH HE MUST BE ONE OF HIS ADORING FANS LMAO.

Stand stealer! That Stand looks like an old super robot.

Vic claimed it was still being recorded and he is still playing Rohan. If we choose to take him at his word, it means they likely couldn't afford to change actors mid-dub and/or re-dub the old stuff. I think it makes more sense the dub is just already done and Vic is full of shit though.

Ikkaku from Bleach and Broly are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head where it didn't sound like his normal voice.
