Hey a new OP! And everyone has hats now!

Is that anti-addiction hotline ad even real? 🤣 It's so weird! It's like one of Adult Swim's fake ads. 🤣

Sucks we don't have any new shows but at least we've got double One Piece back.

Yeah, Haruko catfished the mayor!

Oh ok. That's unfortunate. I wish they had at least got somebody who sounded similar.

The brother's voice reminds me of Ron Perlman. 🤣 Well there goes the brother and the enemy rock guy. Creepy old guy is the mayor and is causing all the violence? Ah hell he decapitated the mayor!

Weird creepy old guy has no room to talk about anyone else's faces haha. Orinoko had the sword made after all. That's Amurao? Not the same VA though.

What is this girl gathering metal for?

I'm just glad Demarco isn't trying to make more Cowboy Bebop series. That would crash and burn even harder.

Oh, I thought Toonami got a new show, but that's just the preview for the other FLCL series. Forgot there was another one. That girl looks cute though.

Yeah, me too. It was just funny how that was portrayed though. And catnip is illegal now. 🤣

That's what it seemed like from the promo for this episode. I guess it will probably be a while before we see actual plot progression.

Getting revenge for the cat that was over-fed to death. 🤣

It's 5 years later but the humans don't look any older. I'm confused.

So this is the future and aliens are living on Earth now? So those shuttles don't just travel through the solar system but across the galaxy?

It's funny, because I thought FLCL Progressive was the more creative and artistic one, and Alternative just felt like a generic current year anime. This new show... it has some funny parts. Seems like the plot is on fast forward. But if next week is going to be going back and showing us previous events leading up to what just happened, and the rest of it is like that... In other words, if we just saw start of the climax, and we go back and see other events that took place prior, and then finish the climax, that will be annoying. But I might be reading too much into the episode 2 promo. I did not care for the art style and animation. Even with it being computer generated, it wasn't very fluid. At least it looked better than Rooster Teeth PS2 animation, not that that's saying much. 🤣 You could hardly call this a worthy successor to the original. At least Haruko is hot and the music is good, though.

Naw dude. Did you forget the countdown we've been doing every week? We're finally back in canon, baby! It started last week! https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto-shippuden/itachi-true-legend-–-light-and-darkness-genius Granted, it's a flashback arc of Itachi growing up, which none of us asked for. We waited all this time to get back to canon, just to have a flashback arc. 🤣

So I guess Itachi is like the ninja equivalent of one of those child college students (still not sure how good of an idea this ever was.) A little time skip there. Looks like Itachi is still at the academy though? So, Itachi was a genius and a massive over-achiever. Their dad had ridiculous expectations to think Sasuke would develop like this.

Why is this village is so full of psychopaths and sociopaths! Wow Itachi already used a shadow clone at that age!

I don't think Itachi is stuck up. More... aloof and to himself haha. Would kids really be having crushes at this age? LOL the bullies run into another bully. LOOOOOL they get saved by Itachi and turn from haters to fanboys. 🤣

Sasuke a crybaby from the beginning haha. Some really bland designs for these kids, including Itachi himself.

And yeah I'm sure the anbu will do a good job protecting the village LOL. Wow Itachi learned the fireball jutsu in one try. The dad treats Itachi totally different. It's never a good idea to favor one kid over another so much like that, and it obviously fucked Sasuke up.

I can't tell if Sasuke's dad us being a jerk again or if that was actually a good decision. And I think that is the first time we've seen him use sharingan too. Of course Danzo was shit-stirring again and responsible for kicking the Uchihas to the outskirts of the village.

And we see the Nine Tails attack again... how many times has this been? 🤣 Itachi rescuing an Uchiha girl. But like Eren, he's just going to kill her again later anyway. 🤣

Oh ok. Because the way this power works, I don't think you can change what happens, much less do a bunch of "trial runs." If some sort of time travel shenanigans are done to get out of this, even just preventing the Rumbling, that would feel like a whole other level of shark jumping to me.
