LOL shrinkage.

Huh?

Yeah those didn't seem like food poisoning symptom. Yes it can. x_x

Yeah I'm sure none of the guests heard any of that gunfire, or the explosion on the roof.

It was just food poisoning. And these guys are just leaving?? Just going to let those guys get away, really?

Are stun guns different than tasers? Because those have definitely killed people.

Before it was because he had the antidote. But he already blew them all up. I also thought Karasuma was too debilitated to shoot him.

Deserves respect wtf. I think a better way to say it is he was useful even if he was a scumbag.

A taser?

Thanks! I'm glad the storm is over too. Barely any ice left outside.

Don't kill him? What kind of pussy Assassination Classroom is this? Plus Nagisa has no choice but to kill Takaoka to not die himself. Can't hold back against this guy.

Anyway, it's nice to have power consistently on. Power was off for many hours at a time since Sunday night and returned to normal Wednesday afternoon or so. But now I just heard power was cut to downtown square. Hopefully power won't be cut here again. What's more, this was all completely preventable - https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/dallas-texas-electrical-power-outage-ercot-failures/287-50797307-0afe-43eb-8175-b78e7e4fc13a

I meant unavoidable. Fucking auto complete.

Jeez spoil much with that preview? I wish Toonami cut those out.

Ah hell, Reiner got up after all.

Oh using the Jaw Titan's teeth to bust the crystal. Made him eat it? Then Eren is going to eat Galiard? Pieck looks real dead.

Nice they commandeered an airship!

I would think it would be hard to shoot the people using ODM gear.

Man where did Levi come from? Is Zeke dead? Cart Titan down too. Of course they had a plan!

Unfortunately civilian casualties are unavoidable in this kind of battle.

So the Colossal Titan just transforming is like a bomb going off?

Yep I don't expect any calm, or Mikasa in casual attire or anything any time soon heh. So, it sounds like they are using the shading from the anime (possibly the lighting as well, not sure about the lines,) and the character designs from the manga. It sounds like they received mostly good reception from the trailer (which I can't remember if I ever watched that,) so decided to keep that same style for the episodes. I remember seeing a report a while back that the manga was going to end in April and was like wut? How is that going to work when the "FINAL SEASON" has already started of the anime? I saw a comment there from the director that I think was a typo or mistranslation, that no matter what production company is involved, it won't have the same impact once the anime has ended (I'm pretty sure that was supposed to say manga.) I guess what they are saying is no matter how well the anime is done, it won't have the same impact if you already know the ending from reading the manga, but they are going to try to make the anime as good as they can. Which I can understand where that is coming from, you can only experience the ending (or any other big moments) once. Though seeing it animated is still a big deal and a big difference. And if myself and others who haven't followed the manga can stay spoiler free until the ending of the anime, it should be a pretty good ride. I just don't see how that is going to work out with starting up the final season when the manga isn't ever over yet. Also, some final arcs and endings can stand to be improved by their adaptation. I'm really hoping that is what happens with Bleach lol and I'm eagerly looking forward to it.

I realized I hadn't watched the dubbed releases is a while and caught up on those. Episode 13 came up which of course had Miroku heavily featured in it. Viz has announced Ian James Corlett as the new voice actor for Miroku. And there was this reply underneath - I started watching Ranma 1/2 recently. I probably won't gain any insight into Yashahime by watching it, but it is Rumiko Takahashi's other big franchise so it only made sense I watch it eventually. I will say it has a lot more in common with the original Dragon Ball than it does InuYasha, what with the martial arts, comedy (which is so stupid and ridiculous and HILARIOUS, by the way,) wackiness, zaniness, and pervertedness. I didn't realize til after I saw this tweet that yep, that is definitely Ian James Corlett as Dr. Tofu, the original voice of Goku. I haven't gotten to the point where Kirby Morrow replaces him yet. I remember Ian James Corlett as the original voice actor for Goku of course, but I never got to hear Kirby Morrow play Goku except in a few select clips years after the fact. Hearing those clips, I didn't think Kirby Morrow was suited to play Goku at all, but maybe I would think differently if I had heard him in the role for years instead of Sean Schemmel. With Corlett and Schemmel, they seem more suited and fitting to the character and his personality, and sounding enough like Masako Nozawa without being annoying and being played by an actual dude (Schemmel especially.) Here in Yashahime, Corlett really doesn't sound like Kirby Morrow at all, or Corlett's younger self, for that matter. I suppose it's to be expected that his voice would change as he got older. But when Kirby Morrow appeared as Miroku in the first episode he sounded different, almost strained. I'm not sure if Kirby was feeling under the weather that day or maybe his voice changed that much with age as well. I don't know if the guy smoked or anything like that. Apparently he was in the LEGO Ninjago show which I never watched, so I should check to see how Kirby sounds there for some more recent examples. But I noticed for the brief flashback in episode 13, Corlett sounded different there, assuming that is still him. Depending on which voice is closer to Corlett's real voice, he might be doing the older sounding voice to sound closer to Kirby's last portrayal of Miroku. Except in the first episode that was younger Miroku there, so that really doesn't make much sense. As it is, I guess Viz did this because Corlett and Kirby "tagged out" for each other in the past, as Dr. Tofu and Goku. Maybe they thought this was more appropriate than trying to find a sound-a-like for Kirby. Which may not have been possible anyway. The more I think about it, I really can't think of any voice actor that sounds like Kirby Morrow. *sigh*

Damn, I wrote my posts down after finishing the episodes but forgot to post them again! I guess I'll put most of these behind spoiler tags for space purposes. Ep 16 - Ep 17 - Ep 18 - Ep 19 - Man, this princess is annoying. And turns out she's the daughter of that Shogun we met before. That... "Bounty Hunter Lady" is an unfortunate character. Thankfully he wasn't in the episode for very long. Or the other bounty hunters for that matter. So, this whole battle was fixed lol. I thought they were actually fighting. It could have been good training heh. Takechiyo disguised himself as Moroha to take the hit from Hiraikotsu to make it look like the Demon Slayers defeated Moroha. Would Moroha really he knocked out by that thing, though? I'm not sure why Towa thought so and fell for the trick. Yep the Demon Slayers will not be working for the Shogun. Kohaku says Demon Slayers are supposed to help people in need, and not be greedy. Well, Hisui and the others learned something I guess. LOL at Moroha and Setsuna being scared of Towa's reaction. Would've been better if she was mad. They feel guilty now hahaha. Ooh next episode we get to see how Setsuna grew up. Should be good.

Yeah it doesn't look like a drastic shift in art style or anything. Yes without the time skip it might have been much more obvious. Oh ok. I wasn't sure if the age difference. Some people can change a lot in those years. Yes in the day time and different outfits will make things a lot easier to get a good idea. Though I'm not sure if things are going to calm down any time soon haha. I just really hope the show doesn't do a flashback next week LOL.
