Man, I had to look up on the wikia because I could not remember the names of all these characters and things. And apparently Masarao was her father and not her brother. That isn't made clear what their relationship is for the longest time in the show. But she lived in the same house as Masarao and that old guy from that Bureau of Interstellar Immigration, and that plant she ends up taking ends up not just being a plant. We knew unusual things were going on in that house, so it's not surprising that Aiko herself would be unusual. The show portrayed as if she is the only "normal" one there and unaware of what was going on, but obviously only the latter part ended up being true. I don't know that I'd really consider that an asspull. Maybe so but again I still feel like they laid off a bit. I feel like a lot of fans would've wanted even more connections. If anything I can see that more being the complaint, than the show mostly being its own thing. It is like a sequel/spin-off, so I think the amount of connections and references is about right. And I liked how we kept seeing different dream sequences from Hidomi every episode, usually in some crazy art style. I say again, but the way the show was done, was almost like each episode was it's own artistic short film, whereas Alternative was just generic as fuck with the art. Maybe being an artist myself, I appreciate that more, but I feel like the art itself is a major consideration for anime. And the mood and atmosphere is really affected by it, which was done to great effect in Progressive. Alternative felt like you could have been watching any run-of-the-mill modern anime. I expect better than that from FLCL. I liked that Progressive showed Haruko in her true cunt form lol. We could see in the original series she was kind of a selfish asshole, but this is put on full unfiltered display in Progressive. In Alternative she acts like a friendly mentor to the girls. I suppose Haruko could have mellowed out over the years, but eh. Though I don't know when the two new series take place in relationship to each other, and they might just be canon to the original series, but not each other, I don't know. Did you mean it wasn't focused on their relationship? Because I don't remember an episode that was. The point is, you don't really get a good idea of their friendship in the first place, so how can you be upset when it falls apart? It's the same problem as Naruto and Sasuke. Their relationship comes off as two co-workers that were friendly with each other and then Naruto loses his shit when Sasuke transfers to another location and Naruto comes off as insane, or having a romantic attraction, for him to be acting that way. Then the show has 3 whole "FRIENDSHIP" moments it keeps pointing back to as "proof," and also the characters saying they are each other's best friends. So even with the whole thing of Pets being upset with Kana's behavior towards their group of friends, their own friendship is never built up the in the first place. That's the problem. I never really thought about if Hidomi and Kana were supposed to be alike or different from Naota. They are just new characters. The similarity would be coming of age story and that's about it. I don't remember Naota ever acting anti-social, emo, and suicidal like Hidomi. Alternative really just feels like an average-ish slice of series with some sci-fi elements that happen to come from FLCL. Run the Jewels were on Austin City Limits, and I remember seeing them on there. Not that I watch the show, but I watch/record some shows on PBS like Nature and NOVA, and so I would see promotions for the show, or the TV gets left on that channel and Austin City Limits comes on etc. I'm sure they have made other appearances too. They are a fairly well-known group and I don't even like rap much in general. But I never would have heard of Demarco if not for being a Toonami fan. Demarco would be in theory one of those people you would hear about if the group's story was told, or if VH1 Behind the Music was still around. Well, I guess only someone who was a fan of the group would seek these things out, but still. I'm pretty sure these kinds of people have been talked about generally in regard to other musicians, but you never hear Demarco come up, not matter how much he clings to that mention in the article on his Twitter. Isn't their whole thing that they put a spotlight on the these starving artist musicians? I doubt they charge these musicians, much, if at all, to work with them. What do you suppose they charge someone put their music video on Toonami? So how the hell are they making money on it exactly? Then that thing Demarco talked about with Toonami being an efficient money maker for the network must be fairly recent development, or at least how you described. Dimension W was not good, though. Good god, what if they are co-funding a "faithful to the manga" re-telling of it? I mean I can't imagine that story being much better even if it was less rushed than it apparently was in the anime. Also I think Deadmand Wonderland had a decent following. They were begged endlessly to re-air it and eventually did. Though maybe it wasn't as popular before Toonami aired it, I don't know. I know it didn't do well in Japan, which is why more seasons didn't get made, right? To a lesser extent? I think you mean no extent. All of those shows were well-known and hyped before Toonami aired them. Pop Team Epic, a gem? Really, dude? I mean it could be kind of funny at times, but come on. And that also to start off their NON-ACTION selection so they got the most out there thing they could find. And now the successor, Food Wars. Truly we would all be culturally incomplete as anime fans without having seen Food Wars ever in our lives. See that is the thing. The fact Demarco's only obscure shows he knows are old are from his youth proves he is out of touch, and only keeps up with the basic bitch modern anime. That doesn't help his case at all. I mean those three series are all widely talked about and well-known, I wouldn't call them that obscure, either. Then again the American anime fandom would have been smaller years ago, but still. They were still known among many if not most anime fans. I wouldn't say obscure. I thought it was Toei, not Jump. And yes the distributors want them to air, even still, there are some big shows who are conspicuous by their absence that Toonami has not aired. Well it was always said that the reason Toonami was able to get more new shows was because they didn't concentrate on keeping a library of shows to rerun like ASA did. As it is, keeping shows to rerun probably makes even less sense in the modern ecosystem. The thing is those shows also have to be something the viewers want. Are most people really going to care about most of these original shows? I guess if they don't care about having another money sink, it's fine, but it seems like a major lack of priorities to me. It certainly is not going to "save" Toonami, that's for sure. Well I hope so. As it is, I hope some good stuff is coming down the pipe to make up for what we lost. I know that won't be the intention behind it, but still. Well that is depressing to hear. I mean they also lost a time slot in the front just now. Well Adult Swim is a night time block for night owls. I am a night owl and in central time zone so maybe that is why the late premieres don't bother me as much. So I really don't get people complaining about shows coming on too late on Toonami and Adult Swim. It also seemed like anime fans would be more willing to stay up for stuff, due to how religious they can be with watching and following things, and how getting to see anime was such a rarity for a time, you appreciated how much Toonami could give you. Obviously the latter is not really a thing anymore. But, if the ratings aren't there for the later premieres, maybe it doesn't make sense to keep them, but that is not the excuse Demarco gave for getting rid of them. =P

I could've sworn Asuna's ass was on the left side of the screen! MANDELA EFFECT!

I mean it can't have been since the original SAO short story was written the same time .hack was being made. .hack wasn't out yet. And Reki cites his inspiration as old school MMORPG games. https://www.t-ono.net/biographies/reki-kawahara-川原-礫-brief-biography.html And your image is broken.

Lil Jon YEAH again

Nine Tails destroyed it? 😧

So what does Tsunade do when she goes on her period?

Voice sounded cleaner there. So the VA is doing an older woman voice and her voice isn't stuck like that?

LOL why does Don look FAT there?

I totally forgot about this issue of hers. Yes distract Shizune in the middle of a delicate surgery. OKAY WE DON'T NEED TO RECAP TSUNADE'S WHOLE LIFE AGAIN.

What are the chances the blood flew right into her face? Get some air... and wipe the blood off your face?

The last of this group of filler episodes is 295. But I dunno how long his arc goes. https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto-shippuden

"Remove every bit of that bug." I mean that bug is pretty obvious. Why isn't Tsunade doing the surgery?

It's ok. He cheated lol.

Why doesn't Tsunade use a shadow clone to do the surgery so she's not at risk? So microscopes don't exist in the ninja world? Then how do they know what cells are?

Lol now finally drew them and they look RIDICULOUS.

They didn't even draw those Nokizaru fools!

At least the filler writers managed to maintain Tsunade's strength advantage and had A win the arm wrestling contest with clever cheatiness.

We are the most lazily animated shinobi ever!

Yes, it is Bryce Papenbrook!

It's been too long since GioGio got to do stuff. But this was pretty cool.

The animation for this ED is kind of lazy.

Turned his hand into a piranha! Fuck you Babyhead!

They used the creepy-crawly music/sound from X-files!

Turned them into cubes and they're still alive?? Is the mom still alive too then.

So Bucaratti wants her to piss into one of his zipper pussies?
