That would be horrifying! Gotta' say, I was not expecting that bit of gore! What character is your avatar, by the way?

Once upon a time, Toonami used to be a "hit maker," introducing people to shows and either making them household names, or increasing the popularity of already somewhat popular series. Now, anime is fairly well known, and heavily consumed across various streaming services. I think we are long past the days I ask the guy in the Walmart electronics section where their Dragon Ball Z tapes are and he replies that he doesn't know what it is. (But, you couldn't get uncut ones there anyway. I went to Suncoast for those. ) I walked into a Walmart several weeks ago and there were TWO My Hero Academia posters, a Dragon Ball Super poster, Yuri on Ice poster, and one of that unholy Cyberdyne abomination Hatsune Miku. But, there's still lots of people that watched the old Toonami, that don't know there's a new version back on air, or never heard of Toonami in the first place. How the tables have turned. A while back, one of my friends visited, and questioned why I still watched Toonami when it wasn't very good anymore and most of the shows sucked. Thankfully that seems to have righted itself. He did ask me to change the channel when Hunter x Hunter was on, though. I told him it was by the same creator as Yu Yu Hakusho and he said that doesn't mean anything, and, well, he's right! Togashi was replaced by an evil alien clone a la Michael Jackson, I tells ya! Whoop, I went on a bit of a tangent, there!

I can't believe Goku has never been in the parade before, nor any Japanese manga character. Some Japanese videogame characters for sure. Sonic and Pikachu were always fixtures. Maybe some anime characters that didn't come from manga? Not sure.

Oh. You are right, though, Momo may not have known about Dark Shadow's weakness, like you said. And making something more complex like that would presumably take even more concentration for her to create.

I'm just happy to see 17 again. He's always been one of my favorite characters and I always wished he had appeared more. I never got the thing of him deciding to go live as a Mountain Man or whatever the hell.

We haven't all seen the OVAs. What's more, as Al said, the OVAs didn't air on Toonami. Yeah but not everyone is ranked where they should be, necessarily. Saitama is class B. And didn't they say "the strongest man in the world" was Class S Rank 4 or something? Also, the ranks don't go strictly just by power, but also accomplishments, reputation, and heroic deeds, from what I understand. I mean, why be all mysterious about Blizzard and hold off fully introducing her if she's so much weaker than Tornado?

OP edited AGAIN. The clip I linked was not the real Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze skit from Saturday Night Live, but some stupid remix someone made. There were several of those, and I had to get the real skit from Hulu via Yahoo. Yahoo... bleh. But, I was able to find the Mike Myers and Mike Nelson Riverdance parodies! I could have sworn there were other ones? Well, I can't remember them right now and search results haven't been friendly to me. But, I think that's good enough! I wonder how much dancing we'll see in tonight's episode.

Yes if the reason was a new show not being ready or something ending too soon and things not lining up right or whatever, they should have just doubled up on something for a week, like Sketch said. They've done it before. Doing this marathon randomly like this is just asinine!

ON YOUR KNEES FOR QUEEN HISTORIA!

Demarco picked up 2 actual good shows that he should have picked up. But, between these gut punch, momentum destroying, week wasting marathons, and bringing back Pop Team Epic... it's like it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back with him! @Daos You had nothing to worry about! Another bowling ball must have fell on Demarco's head and undid the Fred Flintstone style personality change improvement! FUUUUUUUUCK!

I think Bebop was already gone, not sure. Just felt like reveling in its banishment to the Shadow Realm. Pop Team Epic is probably replacing One-Punch Man? Bebop, back? I hope not. BLEH! NO!

Ok. But do the tags even do anything?

I was under the impression Momo can't make complex weapons or tools like that. She's made, like bats, and swords and stuff, right? Maybe I forgot something. So I figured it was like the T-1000. ...Wow. There's really not a Youtube clip where Arnie explains 1-000's abilities? Well, whatever. You know what I mean.

Well I'm not asking for spoilers, of course. Oh ok. I guess I missed or forgot that. I remember the part how Momo needs to concentrate and has to have exposed skin where she wants to bring a weapon out. Yeah that makes sense. More complex quirks will take more practice to use well. Naruto girls yes, I don't agree with you about the Bleach girls.

Wow, what a waste. A show ends and you replace it with that? But, at least Cowboy Bebop has finally been properly Old Yeller'd. I don't know how Demarco is sleeping at night. I guess nuzzling up to the Bebop tapes in bed must be enough for him even without the security blanket of it constantly being on the block.

...Why? *checks calendar* That's nowhere near Thanksgiving! And another one after that?! GOD DAMN IT DEMARCOOOOOO!

You used Sailor Moon, and not that moe abomination Lucky Star! Thanks. You have done well, my young apprentice.

Black Clover Page 45 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, Luck and Magna faced off against the beastman (not the one from He-man, or the ones from Final Fantasy XI) of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, finding themselves overmatched, but managed to read their opponent's moves and find an opening. They reminisced about their past together in the Black Bulls, how the two became good friends. Asta learned that his opponent was able to hide his mana (and chi) with the power of dance! How will things continue with the Black Bulls and Water Temple Mages versus Eye of the Midnight Sun? Find out tonight, on Black Clover, on Toonami!

They had to search for some talismans or something I think? It's in that transition episode. But, what I'm getting at, is Mashima obviously didn't have plans to introduce and use the Earthland version of those Edolas characters? Because I could see how that filler arc could cause issues otherwise.

Episode 4 - Gotta snap out of it, Eugeo. What a plan, Kirito, but there's still a ton of them. Wow, this battle is beautifully animated. Kirito managed to chop his arm off, but the boss goblin still got the better of him. Pain way worse than any virtual world. Saved by Eugeo, but Eugeo just took a mortal gash to the stomach. That's right, Selka should know some healing arts, right? A spell to transfer life force, since she doesn't know higher conventional healing spells. It seems to be working. Eh, was that Alice? He recovered quickly. Well, it is a virtual world, and magic was used. So Eugeo does remember saying that. Damn it Kirito! Don't tell him everything else but that! And who the hell imagines hearing voices? They got some experience from goblin fight so they can use the sword now. Wow, took a big chunk out of the tree that time. Aincrad Style. Eugeo wants to be a swordsman. And now, a training montage. Shonen, take lessons! This need not take dozens of episodes! YAY THE DAMN TREE IS FINALLY FELLED! That food looks good. Yes, but what good did it do Selka to go into that cave, Kirito? It's impressive she did that, but look what it caused. With his Calling finished, Eugeo can choose a new one, swordsman, he can go to the central city, and there's nothing the "Integrity" Knights can say about it! Eugeo will bring your sister back, Selka. T__T Destined to meet, eh? I wonder what Kirito's sword is. Time to leave. But that storm...

I liked the old Zelda cartoon. But this should be better, I think. Sounds interesting. I never did get around to watching the Castlevania series. Still need to play through some of the games more.

What the fuck is HI-DIVE? And yeah, it's been a while since we've seen a Sentai show on the block, eh?

Man, I can't find the links for it now. It's all been subsumed by stuff relating to the Japanese live-action movie. But, Kubo basically said that he kept fucking around with things, causing the movie to be delayed until the rights lapsed.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/sword-art-online-japanese-anime-916389 http://collider.com/sword-art-online-netflix-series-laeta-kalogridis-interview/ Well, it sounds like the live-action SAO series will be faithfully and respectfully done. Kirito and Asuna will be played by Asian actors. Though, the writer seems to be under the impression Klein isn't Japanese. But, I think it wouldn't matter too much if he was changed. She is right that Agil obviously isn't Japanese, lol. And since the writer seems to be a member of the Reki harem, I'd say we're in good hands.

Tsunade is actually one of the few competent women in the series, though, which is why Sakura being her successor is a laugh. The funny thing is after the time skip, we learn Sakura now has super She-Hulk strength and trained this whole time under Tsunade, presumably learning as much as she could of her medical ninjutsu and other abilities. Her fight along with the old lady vs the puppet guy wasn't bad. But that seems to have all been forgotten now rofl.
