MY GOD THEY'VE ALL BEEN TURNED INTO SHIPPUDEN BACKGROUND CHARACTERS! OH THE HUMANITY! OH WHAT A WORLD!

I'm running behind because I had to get food, take care of some things around here. Then I re-watched the first 2 War of Underworld Part 2 episodes, since I was lacking sleep and sick when I first watched them, and I just watched the new one. I should be able to catch up during Mob again. Didn't get a chance to re-watch the last 3 Black Clover eps though. I'll have to do that later.

Kekkaishi is a legit good show and the series gets even better and truly great past the point where the anime stops. It's one of my favorite series. It was definitely something they picked out and not something they threw on because of lack of money. Kekkaishi isn't a similar case to Ballzmastrz just because people threw a fit ASA didn't get Soul Eater or Eden of the East or whatever other show they wanted instead back then. ASA STILL should have gotten Soul Eater at some point though. Big dropped ball there, which Toonami thankfully rectified. I don't know enough about Eden of the East to speak further on it. I do believe part of it was done as movies, though? So that could have been tricky for ASA to do the whole story. And ASA and Toonami are definitely not the same thing. Totally different style, packaging, and kinds of shows. It's why we said something like Mitchiko and Hatchin or Megalobox felt like ASA shows. More mature and "chill", calm shows, if you get my meaning, and certainly wouldn't have aired on the original Toonami. Also the fact ASA was morbidly incompetent and made even Demarco and co. look like MENSA members. We complain about Demarco a lot, but he still has some semblance of sense about shows fans want to see and where to place them. The Toonami stuff, bumps, promos, speeches, game reviews, Total Immersion Events etc are typically well done too. It's where he caters too much to his own tastes and interests and foregoes common sense and good business sense that he gets into trouble. Which is why we end up with things like IGPX, the FLCL sequels, etc. Or think of all the effort he made to get Gundam back. They made multiple in-person visits to Japan to negotiate with Sunrise to end the Gundam embargo. Imagine if that effort was put towards a successful franchise absent from Toonami that is popular in the U.S. that fans actually like? He got Tokyo Ghoul because its obnoxious fanbase wouldn't stfu about it. Dimension W it seems like no one read the actual story before they all went whole hog on it. Yeah it was bad. So bad no one was even translating its manga back then, official, or fan-wise. I hear the anime is so fucked up because it is 90 chapters or something crammed into it. But I mean, even with better pacing and development, that story wouldn't be good lol. It makes me think of the people who say the Tokyo Ghoul manga is so great. It's still a bad story with a ridiculous coincidence setup for the main character turning into a ghoul, and I read about the stuff in the manga that happens and it sounds silly as fuck and just as bad or worse than what was already shown in the manga. Look up all that Real Owl and Fake Owl shit if you want to have a laugh.

Saved by the Bell all day long. EASILY. That show was actually good! Or at least I remember it being good!

Well that is how the Byakugan was described when it was introduced. And it should have been developed anyways.

Oh how will you ever go on living rofl.

THE BYAKUGAN EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SHARINGAN!!!!!

"I don't have any Chakra left. This is it! I can't get any bigger!" Uhh...

When Sasuke wasn't brought back after that arc and I realized RESCUE SASUKE [FROM HIMSELF!] (LOL) would be an ongoing thing and one of the series end goals was when I realized this series and its story and characters were going off a cliff. SASUKE IS AN UNSYMPATHETIC ASSHOLE BASTARD OF A CHARACTER AND HIS "FRIENDSHIP" WITH NARUTO IS POORLY BUILT UP AND UNCONVINCING!

HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

The filler writers remember a lot of things and characters Kishimoto doesn't, sadly. So this Shippuden filler isn't all bad, on that account.

Man, that was a hell of a lot of ninja technobabble from Kabuto on how this whole thing would go down. Hmm, should we call it bullshit no jutsu?

Shino, my favorite character, and an underrated and underutilized one. Ah hell, that last part describes more than half the cast!

White guys in disguise? Were they in black face as cloud ninjas?! NOPE I'm not googling a pic for that lmao. Seriously Viz you could come up with something better than having them call the white zetsus "white guys."

So what does Hinata see if she uses the Byakugan on someone's schlong?

Keep your expectations low. WAAAAAAAY low.

Ok but then I need to actually pay attention to the show. I typically use this time to get a snack or drink, bathroom break, catch up on threads, or look up pictures or information on Toonami shows and characters, or porn of them, chiefly Black Clover, since its characters are the last thing on my mind at that time... So I guess I could play this game next week, if a bag of cheetos or Nero nudes aren't more enticing to me.

I always thought it was a shame how beloved Jingai was in the anime sections, but was reviled in Babbling, simply because of his political views that didn't agree with the others. But now I see he isn't just a mere conservative, at least not anymore. He's gone full stupid with the anti-SJW fucktard dogma and its idiotic terminology. When I see people talking like that I typically mentally mark them in the same section with Flat Earthers, of people I'm not going to take seriously anymore, and just write them off as a person. He has effectively nulled his credibility indefinitely, as far as I'm concerned. And I don't know if he always held these views and just opened his mouth more and more over the years, removing more and more doubt of the fool he is, or became more extreme over time. Either way, he's gone from part time mild-mannered anime fan and discusser, part time political debater and instigator, to full time jackass. I will say that I am disappointed in him.

I've been there before when I was a kid/teen/something/young human (it was a while ago LOL.) They had one of the original TIE Fighter models there. I asked the waiter if they knew it was mounted upside down. He said yes. Surely not the first Star Wars nerd that pointed that out.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

lol why those two together?

How many on-screen dumps has Yami taken?

Asta in a straw hat this ep heh.

Nice little speech from Asta. Ah, some sweet thoughts from the Black Bulls about Asta. Noelle aww.
