Well, at least the episodes being re-shown are happy.

Well, maybe the ass is, but what about the bend in the spine to get it into that position? Looks like he has Liefeld Syndrome. :D. Wouldn't say no guys are, but no guys, much less humans, could get into that position!

Why are Jiro and Uraraka blushing?

That doesn't even look like a guy's ass. Hell, doesn't even look like a girl's ass! That ass is downright inhuman!

Why do I feel like this has all happened before?

God damn if that old speech isn't as appropriate as ever, and downright prophetic. It's 2013, everyone should be equal. Well, hopefully things will be dealt with this time. Things seem different with the protests this time. Oh yeah, that's right, Soul and Yuno share the same VA! Funny that I thought Micah Solusud could be a back-up JYB if need be, but his Yuno doesn't give me JYB vibes at all.

The problem is Demarco is always making empty promises, even before the pandemic started. He really needs to not say anything is coming until he's got the damn tapes sitting on his desk. But yeah, if what he says actually comes to pass, sounds great. They can get some of the shows that got passed over. But I won't get my hopes up. Regardless, for the reasons CaptainStarwind and others stated, Toonami itself won't be going anywhere.

Ouch, another broadside to the... what is the space station called? This is unfortunate and disappointing, but not that surprising. I suppose, despite how long the episodes have been out, Viz was not as far along with the dubbing as we thought. Good to know this should not be for too long hopefully. This is a stopgap until JoJo is ready. I can't say I have sat down and watched a full episode, but I have had it on in the background, seen bits and pieces. It is definitely anime adjacent. I will be interested to check it out. Other options that would go well with the block are Venture Bros - lots of action, comic book and other pop culture references a lot of anime fans would be into, Boondocks - I legit thought I was seeing an anime promo when the show was first being promoted, looks like an anime and has references to Japanese culture and films if not anime directly, pop culture references, action, etc. I first found out about this in a Youtube community post by Caboosejr - LOL that's gotta be Ranlsa!

I wouldn't say Noelle looks flat in her outfit. I'd agree with what Al said. But Noelle and the other girls were more curvy in the manga. Yes, that last one is really an official color spread! Maybe I should still make that thread I was planning to make after all, even if that article and Twitter post that discussed this issue with My Hero Academia is quite old by now. This SIN has happened with Black Clover, My Hero Academia, and who knows what other shows! Stop un-thickening the girls, you bastards!

Well, I mean, fire is a pretty common occurrence on that show, so it's probably not outside of the realm of possibility.

Well, I could look it up to see if the Itachi twist was planned, but that would risk spoilers, for whatever I care about them at this point for this show, and takes the assumption Kishimoto is honest about it. The parts of Hunter x Hunter I watched seem plodding and directionless, a whole lot of nothing, and I didn't find a lot of the characters likable. Though I am told the older Hunter x Hunter anime did a better job with those arcs. The last episodes I saw, Gon and Killua were chopping people in the backs to level-grind and money-farm up a tower. That was videogamey, but not in a good way lol. So since I didn't like most of the show before that, I don't think I would like what comes after. But I really tried to be patient with that show, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. And I almost NEVER drop shows mid-way through, even the ones I really hate. I just looked into the Escaflowne dub. Talk about convoluted history! Turns out it had both an edited and uncut dub, but the latter only aired in Canada, but looks like you could buy it on home video. But the music is changed, not sure if the original music is in the uncut Ocean dub version. But there were apparently deleted scenes which Funi got their hands on and dubbed, which necessitated re-dubbing the whole series. But Funi also released the original dub with their release. I wonder if both dubs are on Funi Now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vision_of_Escaflowne https://escaflowne.fandom.com/wiki/Dubs Also, I love how this one website so matter of factly talks about how the dubs were back then haha. "May come off as cheesy to modern viewers." https://dubbing.fandom.com/wiki/The_Vision_of_Escaflowne But this is just making me more interested in seeing the show? But what version to watch?!

I thought Toonami passed the Disney airings a long time ago and Disney never got this far. So these episodes aren't even new to TV, but just new to Toonami?

Okay, because originally it was Itachi killed Shisui straight up, full stop. Though it sort of wouldn't make sense that if Itachi only saw Shisui as a tool to get more power and not really a best friend, how would he have met the requirements of killing your best friend? Because the original portrayal and interpretation of Itachi, he doesn't really seem to care about anyone and just wants power. But that is moot, after all the convoluted twists. But I was just confused by this episode. At first I thought that it was like assisted suicide, but then I thought Itachi said Shisui just gave him his eye and left? Did he kill himself after that? Why would he have to kill himself at that point if both his eyes were gone and there was nothing to fight over? So wait, Itachi didn't get the power by taking Shisui's eye, which would already have the mangekyo in it, but still managed to meet the killing best friend requirement even though Shisui killed himself? *sigh* I guess I will have to re-watch this ep. Oh ok.

I saw Hunter x Hunter on Toonami too, but dropped it during that tower arc because I was so frustrated with the show being directionless and nothing happening. But yeah it's clear a lot of Naruto was inspired from that series. Illumi was a bit like Itachi (the names are even similar now that I think about it.) Though, the whole eye thing came from Kurapika. I think his clan was wiped out too, or a big group of them was. So Killua and Illumi, and Kurapika and his clan kinda got combined to make Sasuke and Itachi and the Uchihas. I haven't seen anything Escaflowne in years since it was originally on TV and don't remember it well. I'll have to check it out again. Isn't the original dub locked to a major censored edit or something though? It's like the original Sailor Moon dub and the Rave Master dub, isn't it? Wasn't it originally portrayed as Itachi was torturing Sasuke, and giving advice in a dickish way, to make him hate him and strive to get stronger so Itachi would have someone else to test his strength against? It didn't seem like Itachi actually cared about Sasuke. That seemed fine on face value too.

Did he not have a spoiler tag over it originally?

Oh yeah, me too. I'm kind of surprised the dub wasn't already done.

So did he kill the Shisui guy or not? I thought in this episode Itachi said Shisui let Itachi have his remaining eye and then left. Which means Itachi didn't get the mangekyo by killing him, but by simply taking his eye. But then why did Itachi tell Sasuke the thing about killing your best friend? How did Kakashi get the mangekyo sharingan again? If it was explained I don't remember what the explanation was.

That is a little ridiculous. Remember that there were children, and people running shops and stuff. Not everyone in the clan were ninjas. But I don't remember it being said that everyone was involved. I took it at face value. Itachi originally said he killed them all to test his power? It seemed kind of silly, but straightforward and simple enough, makes sense for a villain who cares about power and himself, and he was always cold toward Sasuke and everyone else. To make it what was eventually revealed just seems way too convoluted and difficult to believe, whether it was an asspull retcon or a planned twist. Hmm, don't remember that. That would make sense though.

Was that the guy Itachi killed to get the Mangyeko Sharingan? Which is still the stupidest thing ever. TO GET THIS POWER, YOU HAVE TO KILL YOUR BEST FRIEND. So it was really more like assisted suicide? But wait, didn't Itachi just say Shisui let him have his eye and then took off?

Well, this sure has take a bad turn! Not sure what Kabuto is planning, but Nagato is STEALING NARUTO'S SOUL! Haha, they put the movie Shang Tsung in the games?

I think I remember Madara saying that, it's just hard to take everything he says as the gospel truth. But Itachi just confirmed it. Still, wiping them all out, even the civilians and those not involved in the plot, is going too far. And was it ever said if Sarutobi was involved in the decision? I can't imagine he would order or condone such an operation. Eh, Sasuke and Itachi's dad and those other Uchihas who gave Itachi shit just seemed like assholes to me. Not really shady per se. I swear it feels like a retcon. But even if it was planned, it is a lame twist to me that is a little hard to take. Also Itachi isn't a really a saint since he killed a lot of innocent people along with the conspirators. Oh, I must have forgotten about that. Makes enough sense I suppose. And yeah, most of the undead aren't so friendly!

I'm not sure. I can't keep all this Uchiha stuff straight, and Kishimoto keeps introducing more and more hax members of the clan. They sure do come up a lot for an extinct clan!

Well that sure sounds like convenient bullshit to me lmao.

Demon Slayer gone but the crows haven't left, thanks to Paranoia Agent, and now Naruto!

Oh, so that crow was in Naruto this whole time? Itachi broke the control jutsu? Who is this Shisui? Yet another hax Itachi? More eye shenanigans. Now the crow works for Naruto. Yeah Sasuke took Itachi's eyes. But weren't Itachi's eyes blind and fucked before he died due to overuse of visual jutsu?
