FoleyisGood149 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 1. Probably healed himself with hamon and they just didn't show it. 2. Boy's kinda dumb as hell and doesn't think things through. 3. See above, thank god he's pretty. Possible, but if that hit to the ribs has limited Joseph's breathing enough to make offensive hamon spotty, then he might not be up to healing hamon either. Even if he did heal himself, I don't know why they wouldn't show it, unless it was to save episode time and animation budget. Also, I agree that he's lucky that he has his looks.

PokeNirvash Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yeah, sorry 'bout that. It's just that between him about to eat Hide, beating up Kaneki, and perpetuating the whole I'M A GHOUL AND I THINK HUMAN FOOD TASTES TOTALLY DISGUSTING stereotype, I really wanted to see Nishiki get what was coming to him. Haven't been this murderously angry towards an anime character since Tsukishima... By the way, for those of you who get their block news through this thread alone, here're some facts: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure doubles up on April 15 for its finale, pre-empting Tokyo Ghoul for the night. April 15 is also the night for the finale of Sand Whale and Me, which I recently learned only makes sense if you see another one of Oshii's films. Attack on Titan Season 2 premieres April 22 at 12:30. Though unconfirmed, Demarco said it's likely that when AoT S2 finishes up, JJBA: Stardust Crusaders will replace it. We are also getting season 2 of Tokyo Ghoul [whoop] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 So I've been watching the second season of IBO, and holy crap. I hope we get that as well when Unicorn ends. Isn't the second season of ApT only 12 eps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 The battle between Joseph and Wamuu has ended... and so has the battle between Lisa Lisa and Kars, if you can even call it that. Through means deceptive and dishonest enough to make even the rusemaster himself angry with rage, Kars is now in possession of the Red Stone of Aja, leaving the gravely injured Lisa Lisa to fall to her doom. But Joseph won't have any of that, not one bit. The fate of these two Hamon users hang in the balance, the ways in which they're connected run deeper than JoJo could possibly comprehend... Now before anyone goes blabbing about their blood relation, Jack finds himself trapped in the belly of a beast with an unlikely acquaintance (for real this time), Goku tries his damndest to keep his current beam struggle with Beerus from destroying the universe as we know it (also for real this time), KFC finally runs into another player of this inexplicable video game she's stuck in, Videl falls victim to one of the most misogynistic fetishes ever, Kaneki learns how to fit into human society as a Ghoul from the owner of the local coffee shop, Uvogin begins his hunt for Kurapika while we check in on how the other protagonists are faring this tragic evening, the crew of the Garencieres and Ra Cailium begin their joint rescue of Mineva and Marida from the grasp of the Vist Foundation, the Leaf Village's top cryptologists attempt to decode Jiraiya's last will and testament, and Batou's connections to a string of truly disturbing murders brings the arrival of both unpleasant memories and a duo of racially insensitive CIA agents. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #13 - Goku, Surpass Super Saiyan God! - TV-PGLV ... 11:00 - Samurai Jack #56 - XCV - TV-14V 11:30 - Dragonball Super #13 - Goku, Surpass Super Saiyan God! - TV-PGLV 12:00 - Sand Whale and Me #4 - The Sandman - TV-PGV 12:05 - Dragonball Z Kai #112 - Videl Battered: Gohan's Fury Reaches Its Limit! - TV-PGLV 12:30 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #24 - The Ties That Bind JoJo - TV-MAV (broadcast), TV-MA (personal) 1:00 - Tokyo Ghoul #3 - Dove - TV-MAV 1:30 - Hunter x Hunter #46 - Chasing and Waiting - TV-14 2:00 - Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 #14 - Clash of the Two Unicorns - TV-PGLV 2:30 - Naruto Shippuden #153 - Following in the Master's Shadow - TV-PGD 3:00 - Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX #10 - JUNGLE CRUISE - TV-14LSV [we are american cowboys] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 JoJo "We gotta tell JoJo she's his mom!" "Not yet dummy he's fighting!" THANK YOU Speedwagon! And now for JoJo's most powerful technique: bullshit! And sure enough, Kars gets caught in it hook, line and sinker. Still pretty shitty Lisa Lisa's been reduced to a prop in all this though. Nice hit JoJo! And nice Mortal Kombat II Spike Fatality! I bet Kars is finished now and...oh crap, Von Stroheim's monologuing he's fine isn't he? Not gonna lie, anime age physics are giving off a pretty powerful Oedipal feeling from JoJo carrying his mom in his arms like that. "Please tell me about the Joestar Family past Speedwagon!" "Well there's a lull in the action and we've got time to kill so okay Smokey. Just stop flailing your arms around awkwardly like that. Oh, and never tell JoJo even though he's definitely close enough to where he should be able to hear us anyway!" Insert pretty standard tragic backstory here. I did like Smokey acknowledging it was now pointless to keep the secret. Anyway the Nazis accidentally made Kars stronger than ever instead of killing him? Cue Iago: Good luck against Rainbow Brite in next week's double finale JoJo! Hunter Will Kurapika accept Hisoka's deal? Find out...eventually! Boy, Neon gave literally no shits about the dead...lousy Puu keychain having brat. Kurapika voted new leader...curse you democracy! And his boss is...Jet Black? Beer time for leech beast guy. Seems Kurapika has figured out what the Troupe has figured out. A conflict seems imminent. Anybody remember a kid named Gon being in this show? Beast guy killing a fat speedo guy...nice? Holy fuck, Gon! Killua! Leorio! More money problems! Smooth plan Leorio...moles vs. fish. Underground arm wrestling! Oh great, another creepy clown guy, and he desperately needs more clothes. Hide and seek with the Phantom Troupe? Good luck boys. That ominous chanting music again. Leorio's more right than he knows. Taking the fight to a remote location Kurapika? Ah yes, the DBZ approach. No way Kurapika loses this imo. Gundam: You're coming?! Phrasing Brown-haired Hitsugaya! Yep, Marida's still brainwashed! You fat bastard, Marida saved your sorry ass! Meanwhile fat beard guy going after Marida! And she still remembers him subconsciously! We mechs ridin' boards E7 style now boys! Hang on fat beard guy! No Marida! Fight it! Blonde guy stealing Audrey again! Aw shit this is bad! Audrey and blonde guy....dueling monologues! Mostly blonde guy! He knows what the box is?! Follow fat beard guy's lead Audrey! And more explosions! Rejected blonde guy! And she's free....fallin'! Nice catch Brown-haired Hitsugaya...but Renton's was better! Now for Marida! Fat beard guy! And...she's malfunctioned! So...thanks douchey blonde guy?! Marida was recovered by fat beard guy, yes! Hopefully her mind's not damaged beyond repair! Congrats show you finally had an episode with a good ending!

EmpressAngel Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Jack- Jack continues to need a hug. Steal her shoes at least. Fuck you, birds! Oh kiddo, you tried. Oh jesus what the fuck is that. I'm glad Jack is showing an emotion besides depression. Eww I wouldn't sit on that. Aaaand she's crazy. I like the return of sassy Jack. I'd just let the monsters kill her, because I'm kind of a terrible person. And then the drugs kicked in. I'm with the talking fluff here, just ditch her. And then the crab got her. I'm with Inner Douche Jack here, just ditch her. Oh my god girl just shut up for like ten minutes. Jack is truly a goddamn saint. He's such a dork I love him. Okay I would definitely just ditch her out of spite now. Quick, throw the girl at the monsters and escape! JUMP GOOD. Oh you little bitch you better not stab him. Ladybug to the rescue. Yay Jack made a friend. AHHHHHHH SCOTS NEXT WEEK. Jojo- Narrator can't believe this shit either. Tell him his hair is stupid I bet he'll flip right the fuck out. Hey maybe anybody down there could help out. I don't know who voices Stroheim but I bet he had a great time doing it. Owww. Just whip your dick out and beat him with it. God, just fuck me now. Aaaaand then he set himself on fire, because he is not good at planning. Fight me, you piece of shit. FIGHT ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. Hot damn do I love him. Houdini would be proud. Punch him right in the dick, just obliterate it. Now put your face in my boobs and relax, you've earned it. EAT SHIT, KARS. Shut up Nazi you're gonna jinx it. Good lord, that shirt is just painted on. Guys I think it's time you all sat down and gave Jojo a long explanation about everything. Smokey is such a good kid I'm glad he's here. Someone tell that poor boy about his family. Flashback! Jojo's dad was cute. Awwwwwwww baby Joseph! GODDAMMIT DIO I KNEW THIS WAS YOUR FAULT SOMEHOW. Oh this is bullshit. In a perfect world, Jonathan and Erina and Speedwagon would have lived happily ever after together and Joseph would have grown up with both his parents. Baby Joseph was goddamn adorable. I love Lisa Lisa so much. Oh fuck that's why she faked her death. Aaaaand I'm crying. All of these people need a hug. Oh right, Nazis fighting vampires in the background. FUCK YOU, KARS. Where was he even hiding that mask? Whelp, we're all fucked now. Speedwagon gets to Roundabout again! Ghoul- I think I missed something here. Welcome to Starbucks, kid. I still don't like friend's odds of survival here. "I won't explain anything to you but I'm annoyed that you don't know anything!" It's a pair of pliers, you dimwits. Yeah this guy totally isn't evil as shit. Learn how to eat shit you don't like, kid. SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE. We're getting corpses, dumbass. God this kid is just terrible at everything. This show moves at the breakneck pace of cold molassas. Am I supposed to like either of these kids? I'm not even gonna ask why we're shopping for creepy fetish masks now. Yeah nothing helps you blend in with normal society like a fucking sex mask. Maybe you'd get more information if you didn't immediately kill everyone after three words. Small children shouldn't drink coffee. That doctor really should have put more thought into that whole monster organ transplant thing. What an adorable moment between bloodthirsty demons. That is a fine pimp suit. Aw fuck it's Hisoka. Hunter- DON'T TRUST HISOKA. At least mole girl is safe. Oh this a bad idea you're gonna suffer for this. This girl is super cute. This dude's got good instincts, being the leader seems like a great way to die. Dude they're all nen users of course he died. This girl has the self preservation instincts of a lemming. DICK SLUGS. That's almost enough beer to make a Naruto filler episode bearable. Just jump out the window. I am genuinely not sure if I find him attractive or not but those dick slugs are gonna be a point against him. Really should have gotten that girl out of the city ASAP. Dude stop talking you're gonna get her kidnapped. Meanwhile, shenanigans. I'm not good at math but I'm pretty sure you need more money. Just put the hot idiot on the corner and whore him out for cash. These dudes seem shady don't trust them. FIGHT CLUB. What in the fuck is this guy. Oh hey it's the spider people. This is probably not gonna end well for somebody. So is that guy still full of dick slugs or what? Gundam- God this kid is just the worst. I'm already confused, dude. Why did you guys leave the giant robot-sized door wide open? I still don't know what that box actually is. Okay I missed like half this episode because the official AS stream is a janky piece of garbage, but I feel like I didn't really miss much. I liked this "teenage boy falls ass-first into a mecha with a weird space girl" thing better when it was called Eureka Seven. Yeah go ahead and shoot at the giant robot with your tiny handgun that'll work. Naruto- I do enjoy seeing Naruto suffer. Good man, first priority was writing more porn. I feel like it was a bad idea to bring the enemy corpse there. I'm more surprised that porn man didn't just drown that kid in the river years ago. Never turn down free food, you are weak and a disappointment. Oh hey, it's the only kid that's not fucking terrible. I do like her shoes. And her boobs. Meanwhile, Naruto continues to be the worst part of his own show. Kid, every side of you is terrible and you should feel bad. Shut up and eat your popsicle. Why does everything have to be a cryptic riddle, if I ever need to leave a complex code for my loved ones to figure out it's gonna be based on my bra size. Please tell me the code is based on her bra size. Best kid doesn't have time for this. Oh hey it's the hot lady. Jesus you're a fucking idiot. I'm happy that the hot dude got to hit that at least once before he died. I would not trust Naruto to teach a kid how to tie their shoes.

FoleyisGood149 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Reply out-of-sequence. Jack - Jack's sense of guilt is unjustified. He gave the Septuplets a way out, and they chose not to take it, even knowing his skills. It was killing in self-defense, not murder, so shut up, crows, and back off, Inner Jack. We're going to ignore the whole "huge, air-filled cavities inside a giant animal" thing, again. What didn't make sense to me was there being a pool of presumably digestive acid underneath a blowhole, which would be part of its respiratory system, not the digestive one. Oh well. Jack was able to evade and fight the various parasites (or undigested prey?) and find a way to escape with one of the Septuplets in tow. As for Jack's argument with her, she was brainwashed for likely years, so one conversation is unlikely to sway her. That said, it was fortunate for him that one incident from her past allowed her to see the difference between his way and the way of Aku, and that served as witness to the truthfulness of his words. Whether she'll turn completely from Aku, her mother and aunts (I think?), and any of her sisters which may still be alive remains to be seen, but at least this one time, she chose not to attack when she had the opportunity. I'm not sure that the island on which Jack and the one Septuplet landed was truly an island. At first glance, the grass looked a lot like hairs to me. Regarding the promo, I hope I saw what I think I saw, and if it was, then I'll be glad to be wrong about a presumption I made. DBS - Whis' explanation to Mr. Satan was gold. Mr. Satan's attempted bribe was fun as well, but not as good as Whis' bit. I'm not sure why Beerus used his full power to harmlessly disperse the energy build-up between he and Goku, but okay. I had a feeling that Goku's god-form would have a time limit, since it was predicated on energy borrowed from another Saiyan and part-Saiyans. Still, him having bursts of that power in his SSJ form is unexpected and impressive. DBZK - Unnecessarily long beating was unnecessarily long. At least Spopovitch's cohort intervened before Videl died, which, if someone that huge were walloping a girl her size like that, would have happened long before the end of the fight. I must question Krillin not bringing Senzu beans. Even though they didn't expect any of the other fighters to be a problem, they had to know that they might have to fight one another, and while they are really tough, why not have the means available to heal injuries quickly with them? Vegeta wouldn't hold back against 18, Gohan, or Goku, and would only barely restrain himself against Krillin or Piccolo. Vegeta would fight to win, though he probably would limit energy blasts to the point that he wouldn't destroy the arena. At least Goku has the beans now, so Videl should be okay. JoJo - What I don't understand is why Joseph didn't use the excess of rope to tie off the rest so he could release it and focus on Kars. Oh, wait, I know. We had to have an unnecessarily complicated plan from Joseph to trick Kars and show off how clever Joseph is, even though it relied on Kars not being able to tell a rope had been looped around his ankle. Oh well. I must not understand what the Red Stone of Aja does, because I have no idea how the Stone Mask, the Red Stone, and UV light combine to heal Kars' hamon wound and make him more powerful. I'm not aware of anywhere on Earth that crystals like that develop above ground. Sure, they develop around the world in cave systems and portions of aquifers, but it's highly unusual for them to be above ground. Oh well. As for Lisa's flashback, it sure is a shame about George II. He was a good man and probably would've been a good father. As for Lisa's response to the news of what happened to her husband, I would say it's the most that any of us could ask, to have a gorgeous spouse who was courageous enough, devoted enough, and badass enough to go avenge our murder at the hands of an inhuman monstrosity without hesitation. You were a lucky man, George II. Mind you, not lucky enough to escape the curse of the Stone Masks alive (you're much like your father in that regard), but still lucky. Here's hoping your own son is luckier than you were in his fight with the Pillar Men. TG - I'm glad that there is an organized effort on the part of the police to find and eliminate ghouls. Yes, we were introduced to the more complicated side of it, ghouls who can't (which is fine...) or won't (but this is better) hunt for themselves. Those are the kind which would never ping on Hunter radar, since they would only be eating people who died for some other reason, and thus they're not really a threat to the living. Still, the CCG has no way of knowing whether a ghoul they find is a killer or a corpse-eater, and it's not like they can simply take the ghoul's word for their eating habits, so I can understand a policy of eliminating all ghouls that they find, even if it's a girl like Hinami. As for the cases the CCG investigators carry, I'm curious to know how a strike with one can slice a ghoul if ghoul skin is supposed to be tough enough to break an ordinary steel blade. Regarding Ken's lessons and duties as a new employee of Anteiku, the advice about swallowing ordinary food whole and pretending to chew after that is fine, but I am curious as to what kind of problems actually digesting it would produce. I also was relieved to see that Ken and Renji went to a place known for suicides to get the bodies that Anteiku serves to ghouls. My understanding is that the standard practice for corpse disposition in Japan is cremation, so the ghouls eating those who died for other reasons is fine with me from an ethical standpoint - why not eat them since they would simply be burned otherwise? It's like on a show I saw on National Geographic Channel years ago where a man gathered roadkill to supplement his family's food resources. The animals were already dead, and he was skilled at spotting which ones were fresh enough to be safe to eat, so it would be a shame to let other scavengers eat them when his wife could cook them. It's perfectly logical, if you can get past the ick factor, which I'm not sure I'd be able to do. I'm curious who the dude who barged into the doctor's office was and what he wanted the doctor to make for him. Also, ghouls having masks to wear in public when either hunting or fighting other ghouls is prudent, but I feel like it would take a lot of time to put one on in the instance of an unexpected fight or a sudden, overwhelming craving. Hinami is too sweet a girl for things to turn out well for her in a show like this. I'll be surprised if she doesn't die. Well, maybe just her mom will die. We know that shonen and seinen anime have a habit of killing off moms, especially if gore is part of a show's universe. Did I hear Hide say that Nishiki survived? If so, crap. HxH - I wonder how the timing of meeting Hisoka the next night will work with Mr. Nostrade coming in the following night and Kurapka's new leadership role. Speaking of which, of course Kurapika would be selected as the new bodyguard group leader. He wasn't quite truthful with Mr. Nostrade, though. They didn't know that Dalzollene was dead; they could only make a strong inference that he was dead. Neon having to make the call to her dad to get them introduced was okay, but it stinks for her that she had to be woken in the middle of the night to do it, though I'd guess she understood the urgency of the matter. I don't want to have Kurapika v. Uvogin so soon. Uvogin is a really fun character, and this will be a deathmatch, and I don't want to see him die, but surely Kurapika won't lose. The conditional auction on the street being a show to get Gon and the others invited to some more profitable matches was smarter on Leorio's part than I had credited him, and I'm glad it worked as he intended. Still, the regular proceedings being suspended for a bounty hunt for P.T. members is a way for our group to get the money they'll need, even though it would probably be more dangerous than the illegal matches and gambling. MSG: U - First and foremost, yay, between Captain Zinnerman and Links' New Type psychic powers, they were able to reach Marida and break her brainwashing! Now they just need to get off that Federation ship alive. Hey Riddhe? It sucks to be you. Marida trashed your mobile suit, Audrey isn't interested in fleeing with you, and you may have internal injuries from the aforementioned trashing. Still, at least the Vist people didn't shoot you immediately for your attempt to take Audrey from them. Sure, the Vist Foundation is only closely associated with the Federation government, so they aren't exactly the governing authority, but Links' open defiance of them is getting mighty close to treason, especially his efforts counter to them in the Unicorn Gundam, which was most likely developed by the Vist Foundation for the Federation with Federation funding. Shippuden - I feel sorry for Tsunade. She must maintain a collected, professional demeanor for the sake of others, but her heart is breaking over the loss of her closest friend. Naruto moping was a bit tedious, and he didn't show Iruka, who genuinely cared, the kind of consideration he was due. Still, having Shikamaru, a peer who suffered the same kind of loss, level with Naruto was probably the only thing that would bring him out of it. Both their mentors are gone, and now they must accept that they can't be students forever - they'll have to grow up and accept the responsibility of adults, even becoming teachers themselves sooner than they would like to think. Well, provided they survive long enough to do that. They are in a dangerous profession. It's entirely possible they'll be killed before becoming teachers. That said, Shikamaru looking out for Asuma's unborn child is touching, and he'll have a very long wait before the child will be ready to receive his instruction, unless he becomes an instructor for first and second-year Academy students. Then he'd only have about 8 years to wait instead of around 12. I thought maybe the numbers in the code corresponded to missions where Jiraiya encountered each of the people who comprise the Six Paths of Pain, but there were seven numbers. Unless he met one of them more than once, that wouldn't work. Here's hoping Shizune and some assistants can learn something from the one body the toads delivered. Also, the captured Rain ninja will likely talk, and I don't think they'll even need Ibiki to do the questioning. GitS - I still think that when the Major said that Batou saved one of Project Sunset's victims this time, it only made him feel worse about not getting to the scene in time during the war to stop Marco's unit on the battlefield. The CIA dude complained about Section 9 accessing CIA files, but the CIA themselves were guilty of espionage in accessing Batou military file. It was complaining about someone doing wrong and in the process finding proof of their own wrongdoing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Now let's just hope they're not accidentally rated as TV-14DLV. Ya jinxed it, man, ya jinxed it! Jojo- I don't know who voices Stroheim but I bet he had a great time doing it. Ghoul- I'm not even gonna ask why we're shopping for creepy fetish masks now. Hunter- I am genuinely not sure if I find him attractive or not but those dick slugs are gonna be a point against him. Naruto- I would not trust Naruto to teach a kid how to tie their shoes. 1. Stroheim is voiced by Dan Woren (a.k.a. Byakuya Kuchiki), but was credited under the alias W.T. Falke, so unless you have really good recognition of his voice like my uncle apparently does, it couldn't be easily told. 2. Because this show just knows how to butter me up. First it was Nishiki getting his shit stabbed in, and now it's a store that makes custom masks for any multitude of purposes. Guess it's true that you can't get me to absolutely despise something everyone else with a brain jumps on the hate bandwagon for. 3. The leeches are less Uvo's fault and more that one Shadow Beast's, so I still think he has potential. 4. I'm inclined to agree, but only because everyone in the Leaf Village wears velcro sandals anyways. I must not understand what the Red Stone of Aja does, because I have no idea how the Stone Mask, the Red Stone, and UV light combine to heal Kars' hamon wound and make him more powerful. From what I can tell, the UV light is refracted by the Red Stone, which causes the Stone Mask to activate in a way similar to if blood was splattered on it. Only instead of turning him into a vampire (which a Pillar Man more or less already is), it does what you said it does. Thoughts on yesterday's shows will come later; if you're wondering why, then blame the tech support at my university.

PokeNirvash Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Oh yeah, I forgot about that facet of it... owo SAMURAI JACK - The good news is, this was worth waiting an extra week for. The bad news, we could've had Old Scotsman by now were it not for the April Fools stunt. DRAGONBALL SUPER - Mr. Satan and Whis are the best characters. SAND WHALE AND ME - Sand Man was a lot older than I expected him to be, but it's nice that KFC has a traveling companion she can share her Green Peace with now. DRAGONBALL Z KAI - Ryona is not one of my fetishes, but the feminization of tomboys is, so my feelings on Spopovich's beatdown of Videl are complicated. And of all the times for Krillin to not have Senzu Beans on him... JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE - Joseph's ruse was amazing, if not a little confusing; Lisa Lisa's backstory was considerably moving; and that sting of music at the end when Kars sees the answer to the universe was perfection. SCREENCAPS: Kars posing for Playgirl, and him at near defeat. TOKYO GHOUL - It's amazing how low the bar was set for likeable Ghouls in the past two episodes, what with Rize being insane, Nishiki being an asshole, Touka being too much of a bully to be a tsundere, Kaneki being a total fucking bitch unless provoked hard enough (which isn't often enough), and Yoshimura being the only decent one. That said, Yomo and his non-murderous corpse collection methods, Uta and his surprisingly chill nature/mask fetish, and the mother and daughter being considerably well-adjusted for Ghouls are considerable improvements. But where will the fancy guy with the red suit fall... Regardless, I think Mr. Mado is my favorite character. For a likely insane inspector with a killer attache case, he's pretty damn fun. HUNTER x HUNTER - I'm admittedly kind of curious if Neon is as much of a freak as the rumors suggest. GUNDAM UNICORN - You all may complain about Banagher being too whiny sometimes, but at least he's better than that fuccboi Riddhe. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - It's weird watching this show in 1080p. GHOST IN THE SHELL - It's also weird watching this episode without the additional parental advisory warning. Then again, when you're airing on the same block as Tokyo Ghoul, there isn't really any need for the extra warning. [or is there?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 It couldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened. By no means would it have ever come to fruition, and yet it has. With one of the Stone Masks of his creation and the Super Aja he stole from Lisa Lisa, combined with the Nazis' German Army's ultraviolet cannon, Kars has finally achieved his ultimate goal: to become the perfect being, with every strength and no weakness. How will our heroes fare with an enemy more powerful than even Dio? What's more, does Joseph have any tricks up his sleeve that can counter the final Pillar Man in his nigh invulnerable form? Find out, on the one-hour season finale of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! That's right, I said one hour. Meaning no Tokyo Ghoul for you emo kiddies tonight (thank god).

Blatch Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 and Togusa's newest assignment puts him in a role I'm more familiar with than you: an aide to autistic children. [screech] Reeeeeeeeeee. Tonight's schedule should be fun, even without Tokyo Ghoul to make fun of. Though I still need to catch up on a bit of last week's schedule.

BUU8800 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 JoJo 25 Yup, Kars is now Rainbow Brite. Perfection? Tell that to Cell. STOP MONOLOGUING VON STROHEIM! That squirrel was asking for it. So were the Nazis. Protection from the sun? Again, Rainbow Brite. Calm down Speedwagon, JoJo's still the main character. See, JoJo has a plan....stolen from Ranma! Harpy Kars! Not now Smokey, damnit! So a Vegas showgirl has perfection too? Random airplane attack by JoJo! Bird meets plane. Too bad that plane lacks a flux capacitor. Speedwagon calls to tell JoJo he's still doomed. JoJo sounds like Vegeta vs Majin Buu...didn't end well for him. Magma? Volcano? We Lord of the Rings now! Fate wants JoJo to die unaware Lisa Lisa is his mom. Sky piranhas! Tentacles! Parachute Fake-out! Von Stroheim rocket hand! Shattered mechanical Nazi legs! Dramatic T-2 esque but probably coming out first volcanic Kars cliffhanger! JoJo 26(END) Time for Muhammad Ali's Kars' backstory. Lava beats shell? JoJo celebrates...prematurely. Rainbow slice! JoJo lost an arm! Well a hand anyway. Explaining Kars' maneuver. More Kars backstory...hey female pillars! Why didn't we get any of those? Another Richard Epcar bit part. Well that leg is screwed. Kars is the sun...but also giving a typical villain gloating speech. The stone! Okay, JoJo pulled that outta his ass. Insert song! Volcanic eruption! JoJo threw his arm at him! Kars is...HIGHER THAN THE SUN! And now he's a harpy popsicle apparently...forever. Flash forward! Wait, JoJo died? But...I was told he's an old man in the next part?! Oh okay, he's just a dick. Holy crap! Bald guy lived! Italian Orihime! Married? I called it! She was too distracted by lovemaking to send it. Welp, time to see what everyone did later in life. 1987? I still wasn't alive! By one year! So...Richard Epcar Old Man JoJo has arrived...the end! No wait...was that chest...Dio? Anyway this was a fun show. Not nearly as wonderful as its reputation suggests, and had some turns I didn't care for, but fun. And to be fair I hear the earlier parts are the weaker ones. Which is partly why I hope Toonami airs more. I dunno which part I liked more...probably the second. 7/10 Hunter Well Kurapika has trash talking down if nothing else! Stopping for a leechy piss. And some mutual questioning. Fancy outfit Kurapika. Nen auras...on! Fancy chain work Kurapika. More trash talking. Toguro style strength percentages. EVEN MORE TRASH TALK! Ouch...his arm. Nen chains, not chains of nen all along...or wait, reverse that! 100% of them all? Geez, Kurapika shattered the established shonen rules in record time! Yup, as expected beast guy is screwed. Flashback time! Ah I see, an all or nothing contract. Okay now you're just showing off Kurapika. Gut punch! Frieza vs Vegeta level torture here. Aaaaand....FATALITY! Digging a grave...one down. Chrollo's the leader? Kurapika's tricks probably won't work on him. Though I doubt they'd fight this early anyway. Gundam Recap filler returns! Holy crap this recap is long. Marida! Suck it clean shaven fat guy! Brown-haired Hitsugaya pushing them the rest of the way. Make that pulling! He'll be fine, he's the mc...they usually only die at the end of Gundam shows. A space rainbow? Holy crap, they found Kars! Blonde douche can have the black gundam if it keeps Marida safe. IT'S A TRAP! Or not! Not-Char has arrived! Well...this sure is a fight. Or slaughter if you prefer. Empty ship...THAT'S the trap! Well that sure felt like a nothing episode, oh well. :D :D HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This show could do no wrong for me the moment Joseph and his ridiculous goddamn buff arms showed up. Jack- That tree loooks ominous. Wait is that a flock of Scotsmen? Oh dang that's a lot of angry Scotswomen. SCOTSMAN!!!!!! Oh dang his daughter's cute. They're all his daughters that's adorable. I love Sassy Aku. Noo not the Scotsfamily. AWWWW SCOTS I LOVE HIM. That wheelchair is actually just to transport his massive balls of steel. SCOTS NOOOO WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE. Now kick his ass as a ghost. Please team up with the Scotsfam, Jack. That girl has some real issues. Fuck you, lady. Jack is just the best. Awww the eel is his friend. Please somebody hug Jack. He is having none of your shit today, kid. Oh my god this is adorable. Aku is a dick, kiddo. That is a fantastic outfit. Again, diiiiiiick. You gotta find his sword. At least someone's alive. Well that's terrible. They're just kids, so remember to aim low. And then they died. I am uncomfortable. Where is Scotsfam? I'm sure there is already porn of this. Kick his ass! Iron Man really let himself go. I think Jack broke. At least the kids are okay. Jojo- Obligatory FUCK YOU, KARS. Shut up Stroheim this is your fault. Just an ordinary set of hooters, nothing to see here. I don't like that squirrel's odds. What the fuck, hand squirrel. This is the weirdest goddamn show. Oh my god, Nazi vs squirrel. Aw fuck the sun doesn't work on him. Fuck you and your incredible goddamn hair, you fabulous asshole. Kars laughing is unsettling. Whelp, we're all fucked. Jojo having a plan makes me even more concerned. KICK HIS ASS, BABY. Oh my god you beautiful dork. Fuck you Kars at least let me bang him first. Smokey is such a good kid I love him. QUIT FLAPPIN, YOU SON OF A BITCH. Thanks narrator but I'm pretty sure Joseph was already physical perfection. Where the hell did that plane come from. Jojo where the fuck did you learn to fly a plane!? Hey baby wanna join the Mile High Club with me? And then he died...wait no false alarm. Obligatory fuck you, Kars. I would trust Speedwagon with my life. Just let me motorboat those goddamn pecs and I'll kick his ass for you. Oh right lava, he's surprisingly smart. Speedwagon needs a hug. Fucking piranhas what the shit. And then tentacles. Wait if that's a dummy where the hell is Jojo. I'll go down on you, baby. Please show just let him live. FUCK YOU, KARS. What the fucking shit. Literally the only time SURPRISE NAZI has been a good thing. Come here Speedwagon let me hug you. Owwww his legs. No seriously, how the fuck does von Stroheim work. OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE KARS JUST DIE ALREADY. Jojo Again- This is some bullshit just melt already. This is going too well. Oh shiiiiiiiit. NO NOT HIS BEAUTIFUL BUFF ARM. Man, I hope that wasn't his jackoff hand. This is just a really bad day for my boyfriend. I wanted to hear him scream but not like this. This sounds like bullshit but I'm way too dumb to refute it. NOT NOW NARRATOR, JOJO IS BLEEDING OUT. So then Dio was really his fault too, man fuck this guy. Quick, throw the Nazi at him and run. NO NOT HIS BEAUTIFUL LEGS. Fucking fight me Kars, I can still kick your ass. Oh come on at least show me his dick once before he dies. Oh right he still has the stone. EAT SHIT, KARS. I love this song. God I'm gonna fuck that. Uhhh you might wanna get off the flying death rock. Oh hey it's his arm. I love you, you fucking beautiful nerd. EAT SPACE, FUCKER. Now give that boy a break. Seriously babe, get off the plummeting death rock. Noooo why does everything I love have to die. How did Stroheim get back he's just a torso. Hahahahah, space doesn't work like that you dumb bastard. I am genuinely happy he suffered. Aaaaaand now I'm crying. Wait the one trainer dude survived? SURPRISE, MY BOYFRIEND LIVED. Joseph you beautiful goddamn asshole. Sooo question, does that hand vibrate because BOY HOWDY can I work with that. Wait what they got married? I'm not saying I hope they break up but I am saying that if they hit a rough patch he can call me and I'll show him how much of a banana I can fit in my mouth. Remember Joseph, you don't have to hear that painful accent if your dick is constantly down her throat. I'm glad Lisa Lisa moved on. Awww Erina let me hug you. Speedwagon was a gift to the world and we truly did not deserve him. I'm so proud of Smokey. Still not sad about the Nazi dying, show. HOLY SHIT SEXY GRANDPA Joseph aged like a goddamn fine wine. Good god spank me with that metal hand grandpa-okay wow that's something I did not need to know about myself. OH FUCKDAMMIT IS THAT DIO. Hunter- Well that answers my previous question. You're gonna have to be more specific there kid, he's killed a whole lot of people. Pretty sure he gets a murder boner for that, dude. That's fine, arms are for the weak. Kurapika looks angry this is probably not good. Owwwww your arm. Oh damn that was a sweet move. Yes please explain because I'm kinda really dumb. Yeah dude that's literally what he said like ten minutes ago. Well that sure doesn't seem overpowered as shit or anything. Oh hey a flashback to that one guy. I'm not really sure how this contract thing makes sense but let's pretend I do. Man, Joseph really could have used a trick like that for his arm. Yeah you're probably gonna die but at least your dick's not full of slugs anymore. Sorry kiddo I don't think he's gonna talk. It's because he's a terrible person. Whelp so much for that guy. You should probably chop off his head just to be safe. Kurapika's much nicer than me, I would have just pissed on his corpse and left him there. Gundam- Just tell me what's in the box already, is it fun attachments for Jojo's hand? These recaps really are the only way I can keep any kind of track of this show. There's only so many ways I can say Benedryl is terrible and I hate him. Still surprised this blond kid is not dead yet. I mean yeah I could try harder to pay more attention, or I could waste half the night looking at Jojo memes and I think we all know which thing is gonna win there. Naruto- Frogs are gonna make that lady sad forever now. I have heard that exact line in porn many times. How much shame must you feel if Naruto figures something out before you. Yeah it's no big deal at all they're only trying to decode your dead teacher's final message that he gave his life to send you. Kakashi, just hanging outside the window reading porn. You are a grown man, you can read porn out loud for the greater good. Well that's somewhat less than helpful. Shikamaru continues to be the only tolerable kid. Oh my god Naruto, just fuck off. Just let him to so he's out of the way for a couple weeks. Whelp, y'all are fucked. And thus the world was saved because of porn. OH FUCK IT'S THE GODDAMN FILLER FROGS. Hakuna Matata, kid. I'd rather just die I think. Now I just want ice cream. Okay I'd trust Grandpappy Frogger to beat all six of the villains way before Naruto. I am completely okay with that.

PokeNirvash Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Jack- SCOTS NOOOO WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE. Now kick his ass as a ghost. Jojo- Good god spank me with that metal hand grandpa-okay wow that's something I did not need to know about myself. Naruto- OH FUCK IT'S THE GODDAMN FILLER FROGS. At first I felt sad when the Scotsman got obliterated, but was relieved to see him come back as a Force ghost, like that thought never even crossed my mind. Just like when 24 died in VB, only this time I didn't worry about it to the point where I got my first permaban. G-DILFs. Not even once. Gamakichi and Gamatatsu aren't actually filler, you just had the misfortune of being introduced to them during a filler arc. More short comments because my laptop still isn't fixed yet. SAMURAI JACK - Gotta love those Scotsdaughters. I'm glad to see that Ashi's starting to see Jack's side of things, finally. DB SUPER - Still don't like Beerus much, even if he half-feigned sleepiness in order to avoid destroying a planet that he vowed to over some pink jackass ruining his first pudding. Oh well, at least there's always Whis. SAND WHALE AND ME - I'll be honest here; most disappointing Toonami pickup ever. But at least KFC got her sand whale meat in the end. DBZ KAI - Hooray for Videl getting healed! Boo for Gohan getting his energy sapped by Spopovich and his butt-buddy. What the hell is Shin thinking, not having anyone step in to do something? JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE - If you don't like this show, I don't think we can be friends. With that, all I can leave you with are four personal rating screencaps, and two videos. Enjoy. HUNTER x HUNTER - If it wasn't for this week's /co/ discussion of tonight's block, Uvogin dying this early would've surprised me. And I don't know about you, but I think Kurapika would make a decent member of Night Raid. Where his chains are his Imperial Arms and his Scarlet Eyes are his Trump Card. GUNDAM UNICORN - This series has officially lost me, but I'm gonna finish it anyways because I am a total jackass completionist. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - I admit, the whole decoding portion of the episode was very exciting, and the dub actually mentioning katakana pleased my inner Japanophile. Ninjutsu is to Kaioken as Sage Jutsu is to the Spirit Bomb. GITS:SAC - Were it not for the episode's "complex" status and the random Laughing Man logo quote, this episode did an exceptional job hiding its tie-in to the Laughing Man plot until the very end. Also, the censored nipples on the ceiling statue and the pixelated junk in the headmistress's office made me LOL. Nothing interrupts a tense fight scene like an S&P censor job. Ironically, that would make Elfen Lied ten times more entertaining. [someone get on that] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 From March 18th: I can finally do a Top Ten for this week! #10: Shippuden #09: Sand Whale & Me #08: Ghost In The Shell #07: One Piece #06: Dragonball Super #05: JoJo #04: DBZ KFC #03: Gundam Unicorn #02: Samurai Jack #01: Hunter x Hunter Oddly enough, when this lineup played on the Toonami Marathon Stream this past weekend (4/14-4/16), I appreciated Dragonball Super and Ghost In The Shell quite a bit more.

Ginguy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Jojo was interting in that the Nazi's didn't totally suck. Oh well..... Otherwise I'm looking forward to AoT more than anything else. HxH - I have this terrible feeling that Kurapika is going to end up using his chains against Hisoka and violating his contract. GitS- Highlight of the night for me, but I am an unapologetic GitS fan as well as a fan of Togusa so.... DBZ - So, Goku lost. Shouldn't that have blown up the universe or something? Naruto - Good arcs like this make me all the angrier when the filler shows up for dozens of episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 More sad voice actor news came our way just last night. FUNimation voice actor Ed Blaylock has died at the age of 64 from cancer. Many of you know him best as Fuhrer King Bradley, though the One Piece watchers may also recognize him as Sengoku. Not to mention other minor roles like one of Yusuke's dirtbag teachers in YYH, the alien music producer for the Dropkix in Space Dandy, the conductor who [spoilerS REDACTED] from Baccano!, and in a role that only I can recognize/appreciate, the human music producer from the first season finale of Is This a Zombie?" whose most stand-out like was the subtle innuendo of "She's got lots of spunk... I can see it all over her face!" Really, it's a shame, I always liked his voice. He will be missed. After all our respects here are paid, Ashi's search for a missing Jack leads her to encounter several of his early allies, Mr. Satan's self-proclaimed victory over Beerus gets him in potential hot water with alien visitors looking to congratulate him, Shin reveals exactly what's going on with Spopovich and why he stole Gohan's energy, the discovery of Titans inside the walls raise further questions about their nature in the long-awaited season premiere of Attack on Titan, Kaneki's newest Ghoul friend is so fabulous it's almost suspicious, that dude talking to Leorio in the ED animation finally shows up, the Nahel Argama teams up with the Sleeves following their escape from the Federation, the beginning stages of Naruto's Sage jutsu training on Mount Myoboku continue, and one of Section 9's Tachikomas sets off on an adventure across Niihama. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #15 - Valiant Mr. Satan, Work a Miracle!

FoleyisGood149 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Jojo Again... Speedwagon was a gift to the world and we truly did not deserve him. How much shame must you feel if Naruto figures something out before you. Truth. Enough that everyone in the room would swear one another to secrecy, knowing that Naruto is too dumb or simple-minded to bring it up for their embarrassment later. It's a shame about Mr. Blaylock. He'll be missed. Regarding show news, I'm ready for more AoT, but I shudder to think about who we know from the first series that could die in this one. I'm not sure why one of the Sandwhales projectile vomited hundreds of cans of Green Peace, but okay. Also, is KFC a cannibal? It didn't look to me like Sand Man succeeded in killing one of the Sandwhales, so what other meat would she be eating if not his butchered body? Jack - I was glad to see that the Scotsman was still alive (leg Gatling? Oh yes. Thank you, show). Unfortunately, Aku changed that. Fortunately, his enchanted sword kept his ghost around, so we hopefully haven't seen the end of him and his MANY daughters, who were on the whole more attractive than we'd have any reason to expect, given his and his wife's collective looks. I liked Ashi questioning Jack. He made a claim, so it was up to him to prove it. The criminal immigrants being welcomed eagerly and assigned a settlement area that was already peacefully occupied was a little excessive, but it served its purpose. I was surprised to see that Ashi's opponent when rescuing the abducted children wasn't a(n) robot/android, but instead was a man in powered armor. While he was villainous, I very much liked his demeanor. It sure was nice of him to explain that the high aggression in the children was based in technology, so it was something which wouldn't have a lasting presence after the technology was disabled. Poor Jack. He thought that his order/advice to Ashi had killed the children, and he left with the specter before he could see that they had survived. I feel like he's carrying more guilt than he has any right to claim, not just for this, but also for his sense of prolonged failure. If he can find a way into the past, then all the suffering in the present/future will be avoided. According to many fictional examples of time travel and altering history, only he will remember the horrors that happened after the point of him stopping Aku in the past, should he ever manage to do it. The other thing for Jack to remember is that so much of this suffering is already over and done. He was flung thousands of years into the future. At the point of his arrival, all the cruelty that Aku would've visited upon Jack's parents and people was finished. They've been dead for thousands of years. That Jack has taken sooooo long and not fulfilled his mission doesn't mean they suffered any more. The only one whose suffering is prolonged by Jack failing to kill Aku in the past is Jack. He has more memories of the devastation he sees, and he has more time to imagine/see visions of Aku's past oppression of his people, tormenting himself. I might be reading too much into this, but it seems like Ashi is being set up to succeed Jack in his mission. However, given the nature of Aku, either Ashi or Jack would need to find either Jack's sword or meet up with the Scotsman's family and gain the use of his sword to kill Aku (Celtic magic). DBS - Well, Goku lost, despite a valiant effort and astounding Saiyan breath control. At least Beerus was a good sport about it, and Whis came up with a convincing cover story. Come on, Vegeta. How can you expect to surpass a power on your own that included your own power? Goku, you goof. That was not the proper way to respond to the formal announcement that you're going to be a grandfather. DBZK - I thought Videl looked super-cute after recovering due to the effect of the Senzu bean. Yes, Gohan, you should've put your head scarf back on before going to the ring. Secret's out, yo. I think I remember Kibito and Shin's rationale for letting Spopovitch and Yamu steal Gohan's energy, but I'm not sure. Regardless, I still think it was a mistake to let them accomplish their task. Poor Chi Chi was on an emotional rollercoaster here. JoJo - I'm not going to try to isolate what happened in each episode. I still don't get what property of the Red Stone of Aja made Kars immune to sunlight. As for his new body-morphing abilities, I couldn't help but laugh at the murder squirrel. We all knew it would be dangerous, but it was also hilarious. Kars growing wings is fine, and he is a buff humanoid, but I don' think the physics of flight would work for him due to his mass and the amount of muscle power it would take to flap the wings hard enough and frequently enough to generate lift. However, it would be in keeping with the over-the-top nature of the show, so eh. While I protest Kars' ability to change his fired feathers into bony plates and later into piranhas due to them being unable to receive nerve impulses by virtue of being disconnected from his body, it isn't without precedent in the show (Wamuu's projectile hands grabbing and holding Joseph), so, again, eh. While everyone was lamenting how they and the rest of humanity was doomed because of Kars' new powers, I couldn't help but think, "how about fire or high explosives? Those would be worth a try." In a way, Joseph, after a highly improbable jump onto a Luftwaffe aircraft, did eventually decide to go the fire route, but cranked it up to volcano. I'm glad for von Stroheim's two-step aid (covering fire and breaking Joseph's fall, and his mechanical lower body), and I liked that no organic defense Kars could manifest was working against the lava. However, the air shield wouldn't work. For one, the layer of air would quickly heat and expand, still roasting Kars with very hot air. For another, even if he had converted some of the elements in his body to gasses in order to pump more molecules into the insulating layer, then he would experience a commensurate reduction in tissue, which would have the same degrading effect as being burned up by the lava, but probably in a less painful fashion. For yet another, when a Pillar Man isn't frozen in stone, I'm guessing he would need to breathe. Since Perfect Kars could generate hamon, it would be reasonable to expect him to breathe. Inside the insulating layer, there would be only the super-heated air to breathe, which would be hot enough to damage his lungs, causing him to drown in his own blood, but that wouldn't be a sufficiently exciting end to the battle, on to more insanity it was. I'm not sure whether it was planning or desperation that the massively bleeding Joseph used the Red Stone to block Kars' attack and use that energy to trigger an explosive eruption. However, once at a high enough altitude to blast Kars into space, Joseph was lucky that he managed to hamon project his severed hand to give Kars escape velocity. Kars speaking in space is a no, and he should still need to breathe. I can only hope that his drifting through space puts him on a path into the sun, because no amount of his shenanigans will protect him long enough to escape that once he heads into it. They were on the day-side of the planet when the volcano launched them, so at least he's not drifting away from the sun. If he doesn't plunge into the sun, then the name of a subsequent season, Stardust Crusaders, could take on a thoroughly depressing/horrifying meaning. Yeah, falling from that altitude should've killed Joseph, but since he lived, okay. When he crashed his own funeral with his new bride, I thought a few things. First, I was upset that the onscreen text outright lied to us. The story knew that he would live, but the omniscient narration told us otherwise. That's not misleading the audience. That's a boldfaced lie. Second, I agreed with his, "dammit, woman! You had one job," and laughed at that line. Third, I was glad for him that he managed to snag himself a hot chick, even if she is a ditz. Last, I was impressed by von Stroheim's generosity in arranging for Joseph to get a mechanical hand. It's a mighty fine gesture from him to someone that used his mechanical body as a shock-absorbing crumple zone. Regarding the fates of everyone, yes, I would expect anyone who wasn't in their teens or twenties in the late 1930s to be dead 48 years later. I liked the good ends for everyone, even von Stroheim, who met his end in battle. Above everyone else, Speedwagon will be sorely missed, but given the history he'd witnessed of the Joestars and their friends, I can't blame him for not having any progeny (of which he was aware) and risk dooming them to the same fate. I liked cantankerous old!Joseph. I'm not so sure I'd classify his mistreatment of the guy in the airport as racism. I'm inclined to think of it as redirecting some misplaced resentment. It's not necessarily his son-in-law's fault that Joseph's daughter and grandson haven't visited in 20 years. If she were determined enough to do it, she could make the trip, and so could Joseph. Did I see what is presumably Joseph's grandson languishing in a jail cell? It seems the Joestar penchant for trouble skips a generation. Also, I really hope that's not Dio's coffin with his head on Jonathan's body, but there's not much else it could be. HxH - In other words, Sauce isn't the only one to get all the hax. Kurapika being a Specialist whose specialty is complete mastery of the other five nen types is ridiculous. It simultaneously flies in the face of being a Specialist and lives up to the purest sense of the base word, special, in that no one should be able to do what he can do. Oh well. As for the fight, it was good, and Uvogin made a mighty effort, but he was outclassed by virtue of the aforementioned hax and Kurapika's insane condition on his chains. Still, I have to respect Uvogin's determination and (perhaps) sense of loyalty to the rest of the P.T. in refusing to give Kurapika information, even at the expense of his own life. I didn't expect Kurapika to show the consideration to Uvogin of burying his body. Maybe Uvogin made an impression on Kurapika with his resolve, or maybe Kurapika is just that good of a person. Whatever the case is, it cost him valuable time to recover and prepare for the inevitable attack by other P.T. members. I liked the insight we got into the kind of person Kurapika is compared to Uvogin. Kurapika had a perfectly normal and healthy aversion to using violence on another person, and we got to see that contrasted with Uvogin's bloodlust. I also liked Kurapika's rationale for facing Uvogin first - if Kurapika's chains can withstand the most physically powerful Enhancer the P.T. has, then he only has to worry about nen countermeasures the others may employ. MSG: U - I'm not sure why other Federation forces would open fire on the Nahel Argama, unless it was on orders directly from a Vist family member. I forget what Bright said to Links in past episodes, but I feel like he's uneasy about the influence of the Vist family over the Federation. If the secrets of the Box are uncovered and the Federation survives, then the Vist family will lose its leverage. If the secrets of the Box are so damning that the Federation doesn't survive, then maybe Bright will think he's been fighting for the wrong side and decide that it's better for the Federation to cease to be so something better can take its place. I'm not sure whether a single Gundam's thrusters would be enough to correct the Garancierre's (sp?) trajectory after sustaining damage to one of its engines, but eh. At least Full and his men didn't leave the Unicorn Gundam a sitting duck. With everyone and their brother after the Box and the information it contains, I'll laugh if the secrets are actually no big deal. Riddhe launching into space in the Banshee is probably not a good thing for him or anyone else. Audrey doesn't dig you, dude. Get over it. Shippuden - Yes, a detailed examination of the captured Pain body would take a lot of time, so have patience, Naruto. The only thing missing from Fukasaku's admonishment to Naruto was a punch to the face or a smack to the back of his head. I can appreciate how Jiraiya made the message such that the key clue would only be meaningful to one person, Naruto, so cracking the code would be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for anyone who didn't have his cooperation. Beyond that, though, they were lucky that Kakashi was there to lend his expertise in Jiraiya's work in order to isolate which book was written when Naruto was off training with Jiraiya. Beyond that, though, is where I have trouble buying it. I doubt that a maimed and dying Jiraiya would have such extensive and detailed recollection of his writings that he could remember six page numbers which would start with the six words he needed to make a slightly vague message relaying what he'd discovered about Pain. I'm cool with the idea of reverse summoning, and Naruto going to train in Sage jutsu with Fukasaku, who taught it to Jiraiya, is fine. I'm also okay with the concept that adding nature energy to one's own chakra would enhance any jutsu. However, if the Spirit Bomb is any indicator, it'll take an impractical amount of time to gather that energy for use. We'll see how that goes. Plus, I got the vibe that thick-glasses cryptologist girl digs Shikamaru. GitS - The big cyborg dude was probably a good thing to have around, since this institution did work with defense barriers, making the patients desirable assets for competitors to obtain. Batou likely teased Togusa for at least a few days about letting a middle-aged woman employed as an administrator get the drop on him.

PokeNirvash Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Also, is KFC a cannibal? It didn't look to me like Sand Man succeeded in killing one of the Sandwhales, so what other meat would she be eating if not his butchered body? That's exactly what my uncle thought. Whereas I thought it was sand whale meat, his immediate conclusion was that it was Sand Man's leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 More sad voice actor news came our way just last night. FUNimation voice actor Ed Blaylock has died at the age of 64 from cancer. Many of you know him best as Fuhrer King Bradley, though the One Piece watchers may also recognize him as Sengoku. Man, this really sucks. He had a super-distinctive voice, and it was always fun picking him out as bit characters in FUNi dubs. It amazed me how he was able to take Fuhrer Bradley from a kindly, dignified leader to an incredibly menacing presence over the course of a few lines. Fuck cancer. On a much lighter note, since I'm finally mostly caught up, can someone tell me what the actual fuck Sand Whale was supposed to be? I mean I know Oshii is all about navel-gazing, but Christ, that was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More disappointing than IGPX and Dimension W combined. [and that's a lot coming from me] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If he doesn't plunge into the sun, then the name of a subsequent season, Stardust Crusaders, could take on a thoroughly depressing/horrifying meaning. The narrator says he drifts through space for all eternity and eventually goes braindead. Crusaders will be horrifying because I assume I will latch onto yet another character only to watch him die way too soon, as is my curse in life.

FoleyisGood149 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Are we talking about narration from the same episode that used on-screen text to tell us where and when Joseph died when he was very much still alive? Plus, there's no reason that sinister or misguided groups in a spacefaring future society wouldn't seek Kars' body to learn his genetic secrets and put them to use, be it for fair or foul purposes.

BUU8800 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Jack ::: I should NEVER hear "penis" in Samurai Jack. ::: DBZ Kai As you might imagine I just had to hear how Kai handled Supreme Kai telling Buu's backstory. I have one positive: several lines were more accurate than the original dub. Him clarifying it was 4 other Supreme Kais Buu killed being the most important. I have two negatives though as well: First, waaaaay too much speed talking by everyone involved. This isn't Speed Racer goddamnit! Second, the awkward cut/paste between two original series episodes. God the characters suddenly look so different so quickly. I could never handle such jarring transitions regularly. Also, several lines/line readings that actually WERE the same in both sounded better in the original dub to me. Though I DID hear them far earlier, more times, over many more years so...yeah. Also, also the Faulconer music still can't be beat. Conclusion? Stick with the original series...which admittedly I always intended. Titan I'm not as huge on this series as everyone else seems to be. But, let's see if it actually inspires anything...so recap to start, makes sense. Wall Titan? Sunlight? So...they're vampires now? Meh op. Is that crazy lady's voice different? Was she always so gravelly sounding? Just kill the damn priest. Guess an angel got its wings. The British Are Coming! Flashback time! These bored kids have Fat Bearded guy's expression from Gundam. Beerus voiced guy? Too bad he ain't Beerus. CG Horses! ANOTHER flashback! Mikasa? Was her name always pronounced that way? God the sexual tension between them is as strong as ever. British...still coming! Titular Beast Titan can talk! Where's its monocle and top hat? Welp, Beerus guy got eaten. Meh, he'll always have Beerus to fall back on. Meh ed. Hunter Gon and the boys are back! Still after the Phantom Troupe! Pawned his hunter's license? Poor Leorio still can't see. Aura searching for bidding on auction goods. Oh I see, buying the good stuff cheap and selling for a massive profit. Geez, I never figured this would turn into Antiques Roadshow. And the guy they went to was trying to swindle them! Thanks, guy who got outbid for the same items. A secret wooden vault. Geez, the antiques explanation goes on. Dayum, some high stakes betting. And they've got a treasure! Zepile? A game of questions. Awww, what a touching reason Zepile. The piano version of the op really adds to the wholesome atmosphere too. What a jarring shift in tone this episode was from the previous one. Hey, the dog in that capsule toy was Togashi's shonen jump icon! Equivalent to Toriyama's toribot. Leorio may have a spider! So is this Zepile interlude gonna actually lead to something later on? Gundam And I want to believe this show is good Audrey, doesn't make it so. Fat Bearded guy by Marida's bedside. Memories of his daughter. Oh holy crap, Brown-haired Hitsugaya's other friend! That's...Renton's grandpa! The E7 vibes continue. Misty-voiced girl! Not-Char's right captain! His true aim? An end to commercial breaks! No, an end to visors! Time for an info-dump! Marida's awake! Unlock those feelings Brown-haired Hitsugaya! Oh snap, Audrey told them the box's location! Blonde douche on the move. Fatass wants him to kidnap Marida! Fuck no! Damnit show, that better not happen!

EmpressAngel Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Maybe Joseph's heart stopped for a second there while he was plummeting back to Earth and bleeding out from his missing hand, but he got better because he is the only man my curse cannot kill. Jack- IT'S THE WOOLIES. Who needs a door when you have a perfectly good window. Oh hey that guy's alive. I love him. Everybody loves Jack. Ohh it's the dog archer guys. This robot guy is amazing he's cracking me up. Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya? :D He said "penis" and I'm a mature adult. Oh hey it's the brainwashed kid rave. It's nice to have an episode that actually makes me happy instead of vicariously suicidal on Jack's behalf. Aww look at her dance. Okay well that wasn't really helpful at all but thanks for the music. This lady is terrible I'm your mother now, Ashi. AWWW SHE LOOKS SO CUTE. Oh no don't talk to Aku. Thank you, convenient loud guys. IT'S DOGS. Okay that one is clearly just Astro from The Jetsons. Sorry, back to square one for you. Oh hey it's that other guy from that other time. Bandaid guy. Dude you were never badass but I'm glad things worked out for you. Oh dammit not him. Oh nooooo that's a real ominous graveyard. JACK NO DON'T DO IT. Fuck you, creepy ghost samurai. For the love of god, give that man a hug already. Okay snap out of it and help her. Awwwwww. Now, go find your sword and kill Aku! Titan- They could have given me sexy grandpa Joseph Joestar now but nope let's go back to the kids getting eaten. I have forgotten most of this show. Did they ever figure out what was in that fucking basement? What the FUCK is that. It's probably a bad idea to build a wall out of the giant murder monsters that want to eat everyone, but then again I'm not an architect. This OP is much less fun than the old one. Okay if this show actually follows through with that DINOSAUR in the OP I will take back everything I've ever said about it. The cover story is fuck you, shut up. Just kick that guy off the wall. Glasses girl really does not fuck around, I like her. Oh hey, potato girl! I dunno those might be some pretty mean bears. Whelp that sure is a lot of titans. I sure hope those horses are faster than the giant murder monsters. I think Cueball broke. That is also how run when I smell food. Oh right, Eren's the main character. Oh hey there Butters. No one hates Attack on Titan like Levi hates Attack on Titan. This guy is definitely about to die. What the FUCK is that. Horsey no! Okay that projectile horse should not have been so funny to me. Whelp he's dead. What the fuck did it just talk. This is weird. Dude I really don't like your odds here. Oh this is not gonna end well. Ghoul- Now, more cannibals. Never trust a man in a pimp suit speaking gratuitous French. I like the cute little octopus hot dogs. I'd pretty much rather die than have to give up bread. I need an adult. Ladybug wants nothing to do with this. Don't date him he'll kill you. Oh, you miss that girl who tried to eat him and got him turned into a half-zombie? This will not end well for you, kid. FIGHTIN' TIME. This guy is pretty cute and punched the annoying kid he is automatically my favorite and I fear for his life. Oh hey she's cute too. Kid you're a murder zombie I don't think age really matters. I'd assume the two are technically different species and couldn't make babies together. Well she was a gluttonous murder bitch, I'm sure a lot of people wanted her dead. Don't trust him, he's going to fuck and/or murder you, in no particular order. I am uncomfortable. At least you'll look nice when he butchers you like a goddamn hog. You are going to die now. What in the fuck. My brain hurts. No seriously, what the hell am I watching? Again, never trust a man in a pimp suit speaking gratuitous French. They cancelled One Piece for this. Hunter- Meanwhile, these dorks play around online. Gon no you sweet idiot what are you doing. I feel like that was a bad idea. That's sharp and pointy. It's okay idiot you're still pretty. Show if I wanted to see extreme auctioning I'd spend my day off watching a Pawn Stars marathon with my dad. Man these kids are really bad at this investing thing. They are just adorable little swindlers. I don't trust this guy and his wood interest. Eyebrows. What's in the box! Oh jesus, it's actually the bald guy from Pawn Stars. I like this guy but his little pink jacket is dumb. That's a terrible bet I don't want your life. OH DAMN that's a lot of gold. Kiddo 20% sounds totally fair. We won't give you money, but we'll let you bang our hot idiot friend. He's a good guy and I like him. I hope Gon can buy his license back. That is a lot of effort for Gon to find his shitty dad when he could just accept me as his parent. That's nice he just wants his old shit back. Yaaay you made a friend. Well you two are adorable and a delight to be around, I'd do everything I could to help you too. LOOK WITH YOUR SPECIAL EYES. Everyone loves Gon. Dude you barely passed the exam with the entire group carrying you, what are you gonna do on your own against the villains? Gundam- I liked the magic mecha light better when it was in Eureka Seven. I'm glad that lady continues to surprise me by being alive. Just open the damn box already and get it over with. I'm cool with it if everybody just wants to kill each other. This is all just because Benedryl couldn't handle his teenage boner. That mask still looks stupid. Surprise everybody, without the mask he looks exactly the same only with two inches around his eyes exposed. Make sure you turn on speakerphone for this confession. Yeah, fuck the earth! Yeah yeah revenge only causes more revenge it's a tragic cycle and all that. So are they finally gonna open the box now? I'd probably understand more if I wasn't busy seeing how many leftover Cadbury eggs I can eat in one sitting and hope I go into a coma before Naruto starts. Naruto- Frog dude I tell that kid to die every goddamn week. I don't think there's enough Adderall in the world to make Naruto sit still for twenty minutes. Yeah go ahead and just slather yourself up with magic frog lube that makes as much sense as anything. I am uncomfortable. Frogruto would actually be an improvement for this show. I guess turning into a rock would make you more connected with nature. Okay I would definitely enjoy watching Grandpappy Frogger beat the shit out of Naruto with that stick for entire episodes. I still don't really understand how the clones make him train faster. Watching an elderly frog beat an obnoxious teenager with a stick is just as entertaining as I'd hoped. Gross. Here, benchpress this unfortunate outcome of someone else's catastrophic failure to improve. Oh hey it's flytrap guy. Oh right, Sasuke was doing something that I didn't care enough to remember. Here, it's your teacher's first porn. That story was better than the show it's in. Yeah yeah, everyone was a whiny emo teen that no one understood. I can respect a man whose goal was to unite the world via porn. Goddammit Sasuke you had one job! Nah it's kinda funny, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Jack ::: I should NEVER hear "penis" in Samurai Jack. ::: Well you did and it was glorious, even if you don't think so personally. I already miss the Pipes bumps. SAMURAI JACK That transport ship looks like R2-D2 meets the Death Star. And that one passenger reminds me a little of Zorak. But not as much as last week’s villain reminded me of Moltar (and his true face C. Martin Croker). Are those Woolies? Yep, those are Woolies. Flashbacks to previous CN-era episodes? I’m liking this one already. “You’re supposed to get off when you land!” I like that she’s still holding onto her weapon. What the hell static. YESSSSS SCARAMOUCH LIVES! I love this bot, no homo. Oh hey, I recognize those archers. Nice statue. The butterflies are a nice touch. That episode had really good atmosphere to it. Isn’t that the city from the Scotsman two-parter? Down to #3. The third act of a two-act play. That’s one slick sailor. Pretty sure that sign wasn’t there before. Is it wrong of me to want to know what happened to that guy’s head? “Looked like a talking penis.” > Holy crap show I never knew you had it in you. Is that some fucking rave music I hear? SHAKE IT BAKE IT BOOTY QUAKE IT ROLL IT AROOOOOOUND DON’T FAKE IT. I recognize that DJ! We musical now? I never knew I needed Ashi dancing in my life. Fuck yeah a new Clyde bump. I’m sure this waterfall holds some significance. This is not the nudity I was expecting. This is not the nudity I was expecting at all. CANNONBALL! So the bodysuit wasn’t a bodysuit after all. Slightly disappointed. : ( Now this is the nudity I was expecting. :-D Nature makes the greenest clothes. Ah, subtle anti-sexism. The best and only good kind of anti-sexism. Scaramouch just doesn’t give a fuck. Sooooo close. I recognize that place too! I can only imagine how Da Samoorai aged over the past fifty. Wasn’t expecting him to be the bartender. All these damaged bounty hunters are cracking me up. Walking boombox? Funky swordfighting names? This truly is the flashback we deserve. OH SHIT IT’S DEMONGO. And he just left. Some straight-up freaks indeed. Now who’s this midget? A complete mystery, apparently. Was that the graveyard from that time Jack fought all those zombies and Aku too? Oh shit he’s about to sudoku seppuku himself. AND SHE CAN SEE SWIGGITY SWAG THE NIGHTMARE STAG TOO! [pays attention to awesome and dramatic fight scene] JACK IS BACK BABY. “Yeah, that’s right, go back into your graves…” And now the quest for the sword begins anew. I had a feeling David Alan Grier didn’t return to voice Da Samoorai, but Keegan-Michael Key is an acceptable substitute. DRAGONBALL SUPER This OP sounds quieter than normal. And the rest of the episode too! She spent 100 million zeni in that short a time? For Super Kami Dende’s sake, Chi-Chi, no wonder people hate you. Even Goku thinks that’s ridiculous. Meanwhile, with the superior couple… They really are cute together. <3 “I will surpass you, Kakarot, I swear it… Now if only I could find a way to free my feet from this damned rock!” IT’S SATAN TIME, BITCHES. What’s that book Buu’s reading? SATAN IN THE HOUSE. Radar poodle? I’m already liking this story. Lord Beavis. Sibilance. Sssssssibilance. That tuft of white hair makes Beerus look like someone’s fursona. SUPER SATAN! Roshi’s gonna rewatch his favorite porn now. HAIL SATAN! HAIL SATAN! HAIL SATAN! “It’s coming right for us!!” Of course it’s an alien. It’s always aliens. Squid Cop needs to be a real movie. Oh my, more furries. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK. It’s a pretty medal, I’ll give them that. 200% at least. Stomach pains: the oldest (and best) trick in the book. GOHAN FAILS AT COOKING LOL. “How did they get that ring set up in such a short time!?” Wait, do Goten and Trunks even go to school? Good timing, Goku. “Things have somehow gotten weirder.” After Sand Whale and Me, I don’t see how they can. Face it Goku, you wanna train more than ever now that Chi-Chi’s forbidding it. Ah, shut up, crowd. Piccolo’s starting to regret being Gohan’s dad, because it also means being Chi-Chi’s other husband. Oh goddammit Chi-Chi. SATAN PUNCH. And then Goku flew away. Ah, shut up, crowd. Saved by Satan’s dog. Can’t say I saw that one coming. How ironic, that the dog aliens are afraid of actual dogs. Fuck yeah, Satan. Fuck you, Chi-Chi. TOP BILLING: Mr. Satan. “I’m gonna kill you and every person you know.” Not if he kills you and everyone you know first, motherfucker! DRAGONBALL Z KAI Last time, Gohan jobbed and jobbed hard because of that Supreme Kai fucker. Get this man a Senzu bean! Welcome to the DBZ universe, girl. He actually pinched her. Vegeta is so narcissistic. And he hates being left out, apparently. Gohan/Videl may be a good couple, but Krillin/18 is best. “This boy needs a doctor!” “I’m a doctor!” It’s funny seeing Satan freak out about Gohan and Videl, considering they’re about to have a kid in Super. SMOOOOTH. The second-best couple indeed. OG Dragonball is way better than Super when it comes to canon stuff. Smoke and mirrors. All those poor people around Chi-Chi. “My lucky sunhat!” Exposition time! Man, I haven’t seen this guy (ha) but I hate Buu already. Still, this sure is some interesting exposition. Bibidi, Babidi, Buu? Vegeta knows how best Whis is; good on him. Videl can be so tsundere sometimes. I’d punch those two in the face were they not all veiny and technically cartoons. Welcome to pterodactyl country. If you don’t wanna fly, try riding on his back. Or just turn around, that works too. Okay, maybe Gohan/Videl ties with Krillin/18 for best DBZ couple. How long have they all been flying? Majin headquarters is an interesting-looking place. It’s amazing how quickly they’ve come to care. Oh no, a dead fam-wait does that kid have a mohawk what the actual hell. But which one is Babidi? Probably the one without the M on his head. ATTACK ON TITAN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO I’d post the recap video here, but there’s Tokyo Ghoul spoilers, so… that’s a no go. Actually, never mind, Armin’s providing a sufficient recap for all of us instead. That sure was some freaky music we just heard. Yep, the Titans are in the walls. And they’re alive too! Aw crap, that dude survived his church getting wrecked. SASAGE YO SASAGE YO SHINZOU WO SASAGE YO. Apparently we’re getting simple with our episode titles now. Oh hey, it’s those two MP guys. Well, one MP guy and one MP girl. “Do you know who I am!?” Not really, no. Goddamn Hanji I think I love you. Wait, Titans have breached the secondary wall? H-How!? [12 hours earlier] Ohhh yeah a well-deserved explanation. So Sasha was an outcast in her village, huh? Bears… are crazy. Wait, so we’re not even gonna learn how they broke through the wall? That’s cheap, show. You guys may be doomed, but at least you’re going out to a kickass drumline. CONSPICUOUS CGI STAMPEDE. Connie’s got PTSD pretty bad, and he hasn’t even gotten to experience the trauma yet. Well, at least some of these Titans look fairly normal. H-HAYAI! “Holy shit!” Holy shit indeed, Connie. Nice pompadour, dude. You’re gonna be eating those words eventually, dude. Yes, Armin, we know. I miss Eren’s hot mom. “I just had this bizarre dream, where I had an Italian accent and was fighting some weird Aztec vampire with bubbles…” Ah yes, the scarf of badassery. Yes, Armin, we know. [cue the screeching fangirls] Now that’s a freaky-looking Titan. Like a howler monkey, or some other kind of primate. “Mmm... horse.” AND THEN HE THREW THE DAMN THING. “My legs!” HOLY SHIT IT CAN SPEAK. Well, at least he crushed the head of the ugliest one. OH NO HE’S HOT. Too disturbed to answer, huh? It’s amazing how quickly he goes from scared to determined to back to scared. All I can say there is… poor dude. TOP BILLING: I’d assume Miche, since Eren didn’t have all that many lines, and neither did Mikasa nor Armin. Well, at least the TV version of this ED cut out the freakiest parts. TOKYO GHOUL I habeeb it’s pronounced “ma chere”. This guy is soooooo gay for Kaneki. Sooooooo gay. And he’s a Parasyte too. Joy. It’s like wiping your ass with silk. That school friend of Touka’s is pretty cute. “It’s like a party in my mouth and everyone’s throwing up.” In other words, she’s totally saying that to spare your feelings. Wait, so can Ghouls drink water too? Or does that just aid in the whole purging process? Or maybe she’s trying to overcome her instinctive distaste for normal food. That’s actually kinda better than the other thing. He’s baaaaaaack~. Kami University: Founded by Mr. Popo. Whereas Nishiki looked like he was trying to rape Kaneki, this Tsukiyama guy appears to be flirting with him instead. Ladybugs. And that’s when Kaneki discovered he was bisexual. I just wanna know who this Takatsuki chick even looks like. Speaking of Rize, TV Tropes listed her as a “Complete Monster”, so it’s weird that I like her more than that shit-eater Nishiki. >( I thought all Ghouls loved books. Must be a “small world” scenario among the rarity, then. He just came. From his heart. Self-defense training, go! I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS! Once again, it’s proven that most of Jamie Marchi’s characters look and sound like total sluts. Lemme guess, Yomo is this “Rain” dude she’s talking about? I like these three, they seem pretty fun compared to Nishiki and at times Touka. Another half-Ghoul? Inconceivable! Fuck yeah, recessive genes! Hmm, so the accident wasn’t an accident after all. Guess us engineers had our hands clean the whole time after all. And before he knew it, he was on a gay date. Okay, maybe TV Tropes wasn’t so crazy after all. I love this dude and his gratuitous French. Kaneki already has a bad feeling about this “hangout”. He’s gonna masturbate with that bloody kerchief. Breathplay works too, if that’s how he gets his rocks off. It feels so weird hearing Ed Blaylock’s voice now. A shower? A fresh butler outfit? I have a feeling something kinky’s about to go down. …I think I just found my new avatar for the next few months. <3 IT’S UPSTAIRS SEX DUNGEON TIME, BABY. All these masqueraders are nice and all, but what’s up with that dude in the cheap clown mask? Eh, cannibalism’s pretty kinky, if you’re fucked in the head enough. :-\ Gentlemen… behold! Mister Eminem! In which Kaneki defies all clichés and recognizes Tsukiyama almost immediately. Someone’s gonna be jacking off with that kerchief soon enough. I knew the mask fetishist in me would like this show. …That dude ain’t little, but I can see how he got that name. Oh god now he’s singing. ::: But before the preparation, a little pre-game chase. BULLFIGHTING MANEUVER! Hey, Yomo was right about him being a good dodger. Piccolo would be proud. “Whoa, bloody floor!” Should’ve guessed that the coffee was spiked. “Angel statue in the corner, lend me your streeeeeength!!” FUCK YEAH KANEKI. Tsukiyama’s boner… IS MAXIMUM! Shut up, lady. Even when he kills, he never stops being fabulous. TOP BILLING: Tsukiyama, as it should be. Kaneki almost got himself eaten this episode thanks to Tsukiyama, doing gay stuff with him is a little much at this point. REPLY TO ANGEL 1: “They cancelled One Piece for this.” And you only have Demarco to blame. At this point, it’s best to just have fun with it until something good comes to replace it in turn. Apparently FUNi is broadcast-dubbing this on a week-by-week basis. Commentary aside, FUCK YEAH SASHA EPISODE. HUNTER x HUNTER Well, Kurapika already killed one, maybe you could convince him to dig up the body he buried so you could turn it in for cash. Gon, you are one crazy son of a bitch. A bitch whose identity we don’t even know. Southern Peace? Is that any different from Yorknew? Leorio is so simple-minded. That’s a cool knife, I can believe that a mass murder came up with the design concept for it. Ooh, I like this type of market. 500 x 2.5 = 1250 3 for 4, that’s pretty good for your first try. Well, at least Killua isn’t lying about the whole “having a dad” thing. And 2 for 3 among those is decent also. :-D Thank you, rare type of wood! Yes, finally, it’s that guy from the ending theme I kept asking about! I like his eyebrows. IT’S OVER, THE UMBRELLA CORPORATION IS FINISHED. If the Pawn Stars and American Pickers reruns my parents watch on the History Channel haven’t gotten me interested in this whole appraisal stuff, this show is definitely doing it for me. Fuck yeah, treasure! Zeppile… How do you spell that, anyways? I like the design of these booth seats. Must be the subtle checkerboard pattern. Ohh, so he bought the vase. You gotta appreciate someone who’d willingly buy knock-offs of their own work just to save themselves the embarrassment of association. I’m loving this question back-and-forth. Gon’s a good kid, if not somewhat crazy. Not sure how you spell that one method either? Machi looks kinda hot with her hair down, but she still ain’t no Shizuku. Oh, so it’s just one P. This was a nice, feel-good episode. A great breather from all the Phantom Troupe stuff. MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNIVORN RE:0096 Still not sure if Full Frontal’s the good or bad guy here. I’m still confused on what needs to be done for these new Laplace coordinates to be revealed. How the hell does that even work? That is an awesome episode title. Oh yeah, it self-destructed last episode. I assume this flashback is supposed to imply that Marida’s taken the place of Zinnerman’s dead daughter. Should I care about the beef between all these random soldiers? Because I don’t really. Holy crap Takuya what happened for your voice. Shut up, old dude. Shut up, other two guys. And so the tension thickens further. Be quiet, Micott, that’s none of your business. A shoal zone… Wasn’t “The Shoals” the name of one of the IBO episodes? Of course Banagher would be the chosen one. Did somebody say Trump Card? :-D Nice outfit, Mineva. In the end, it’s always anti-government, huh? I still love the name “Side Co-Prosperity Sphere”. You better not hit her, Angelo. Finally, Banagher says something. Not that anyone cares… Wait… Is that a freaking flashback to OG Gundam? That animation definitely looks like it was drawn on cels. Char’s Counterattack, it appears to have been. So Laplace’s Box was in Industrial 7 all along. Now that is a plot twist. Fuck you, Riddhe. You’re a truer Blonde Sasuke than Kurapika. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Turns out the whole dying cliffhanger was just a weird analogy. Staying still? Yeah, he’s boned. Huh, he has a better handle on that than I expected. Okay, now that is freaky. Took him long enough to hit him on the head. Naruto’s lucky it fixed his toad problem. Now that is nightmarish. MEANWHILE, IN THE CYBERPUNK VILLAGE… That one body looks new. Yeah, that’s how bruises work. Sage jutsu is pretty hardcore. REPLY TO ANGEL 2: “I still don't really understand how the clones make him train faster.” Simply put, if Naruto and three of his clones train in how to do a specific task, once the clones poof away, he’ll have learned the task four times faster than he would have alone. I assume that one hit was for being a smartass. “Sometimes you don’t make sense at all.” Seems that way. THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMROOVES. Well, at least he didn’t try and dry heave it like Ghouls do after eating regular food, that’s a good start. He was only trying to lift it for 15 seconds. The frog features are strange, yes, but at least he doesn’t have any webbed fingers this time. STATUE DOMINOES. MADARA IS IN THE HOUSE. Hey, he’s getting better at it. Good on him! Hell yeah, it’s Jiraiya’s first novel. That one ninja looks like he came out of Persona 3. There’s just something wrong about hearing Jiraiya’s voice come out of Naruto’s body. “Even if you take me down, two more assassins will just take my place…” I assume that’ll be the voice Naruto gets when his balls finally drop. Turns out Jiraiya was in the right in that regard. Yeah, to hell with hatred! When a bratty response becomes something much more profound. T_T7 NOOOOOO BEE. Never mind, turns out it wasn’t Bee after all. JITENSHA JITENSHA JITENSHA. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX Back in the days when I watched as many [as] anime reruns as I could to really appreciate their wide range of shows they still had the licenses to, this was actually the last episode of Ghost in the Shell, from both 1st or 2nd Gig that I had seen. The one Tachikoma’s little adventure around Niihama with the little girl looking for her dead dog was pretty fun until the inevitable twist ending – I personally loved it when it replicated Aramaki’s voice to trick those two nosy policemen – and the movie-inside-a-cyberbrain plot was indeed very deep. Guess the one thing that can be gleaned from this episode is that machines and ghosts have feelings too. [you can tell by the tears] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sam Jack: Alright, talking penis head was funny. JAck finally got over his inner Sasuke, so time to find your magic sword and go kick Aku's ass. DBZ : Gonna kinda lump em all together, and say a lot of attempt at story, not a lot of yelling or fighting. Meh. Still, we get Buu, well kinda. AoT2 : So, Levi wants to dress like a French aristocrat and gets grumpy when interrupted. I guess now we get to guess who the human form of furry titan is. New OP lacks the innate awesome of the very first OP. Overall, kinda not impressed. Tokyo Ghoul : Ugh. I saw it subbed, it got awful. I doubt dubbing it will improve things. Hunter : Ok, back to Kurapika, since he was being productive. This almost felt like filler, an episode about appraisals. That kind of ranks up there with demon mushroom soup..... Naruto : Well, Naruto getting beaten with a stick was amusing the first time or two. Did Sasuke try to pass off sushi as a tailed beast? Oh well, when the actual fight starts it does get pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Boy am I glad the site came back before midnight, otherwise this would seem out of place. Tonight on Toonami, Jack begins the search for his sword while Ashi keeps watch, Whis's sudden return to Earth arouses Vegeta's suspicion, the Z warriors plus the Supreme Kai and Kibito finally get a good look at Spopovich and Yamu's superiors, Sasha heads to her village to warn them of the incoming Titan swarm, Tsukiyama tries to lure Kaneki in a second time while screwing over Nishiki in the process (good for him), Gon and Killua take a break from their auctioning adventures to chase after the Phantom Troupe, the tension between the Feds and Zekes inside the Nahel Argama finally explodes, Naruto finally starts getting the hang of this whole Sage Jutsu thing, and Section 9 is tasked with accomplishing where Special Security failed and rescue a long-since-missing girl from the hands of anti-cyber terrorists. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #16 - Vegeta Becomes a Student?!

BUU8800 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Kai Okay, last week was a bit more even, but the original dub of this week's first half material literally beat the shit out of what I just heard. Babidi and Dabura especially lack so much of the gleefully animated performance of the original dub's dialogue. Same actors, weaker effect. Really the only thing possibly better here was Sabat's Vegeta and Piccolo sounding like they do in his later portrayals of them. Literally everything else the original dub was as good or, often, better. No thanks Kai, I'll check in once more after Buu gets revived. Titan Recap time! I wish the walls were made of chocolate instead. Insert priest pedophilia joke here. Pretty CGI horses. Is this the potato girl I didn't really like? I forget. Oh...probably. Environmentalism message! No...Anti-tradition message! Well that lady has seen better days. And...off with its head! Okay maybe not. Bye bye horse! Another flashback. That one flashback girl was fairly attractive. So this is supposed to be hopeful. Okay then. Arrow to the eye and finding the cavalry. Meanwhile Titan house sitting...err lying! Hunter Leorio and the boys are on the hunt for spiders! Even Killua's dad had trouble with them in the past. Nice natural faces boys. Coin flip eh? So where's Harvey Dent? Oh dayum, Kurapika's client has been discovered! Jet Black has arrived. Holy crap, the mafia has hired Killua's family to get the Phantom Troupe! Aaaand on the hunt again! I really like Nobunaga's disguise btw. IT'S A TRAP! Will they spring it? Yes! New Cleavage Girl has Gon! Damn she has such nice sideboob! And time for Gon and Killua to enter the lion's den! I noticed Chrollo wasn't there though...how convenient. Gundam Recap time, part 2! Marida! Oh Marida, trying to cheer up Brown-haired Hitsugaya? You're too good for this show. Buu like ice cream too! Hug! Brown-haired Hitsugaya you lucky bastard! Oh god, an armed uprising? Well that failed quickly. Still like Misty girl though. The alliance is dissolved! Marida with Audrey! Wait...fat bearded guy no damnit! Marida gets his permission to fight. And the race to the box is on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Jack- Did he shave or is this a flashback. Awwwww it's a cute little sheep. Awwwwww there's more of them! Fuck you Aku just let him be happy. Oh you bag of dicks. He's such a troll. Noooo not the adorable sheep things. Ohhh that's how he lost his sword. Dang that's a big hole. Maybe anchor that bird down so it doesn't fly off. Wait what it's a sword it doesn't just grow legs and walk off. AWWWW BIRD LOVES ASHI. This is a more introspective quest than I expected. Kill them all, Ashi. Meanwhile, Jack is tripping balls. I'm kinda lost here myself, ghost monk guy. Don't fuck with Ashi. Holy shit, girl. Meanwhile, tea time. Yaaaaay bird friend is back. She's so amazing I love her. Oh fuck you lady I'm her mother now. Kill her Ashi, she's the worst. Damn, Ashi does not fuck around. Now come here and let me hug you. Jack sucks at tea. Inner mind Jack is a douche. Man I wish therapy worked like that for me. Oh hey it's the god dudes. Yay he shaved and got his old outfit back. YAAAAY SWORD. Oh no please be okay. I'm so proud of both of you. Titan- That projectile horse still cracks me up. Oh hey it's that one guy who's not terrible. Butters is suspicious. Why would they make the walls out of titans at all that just seems like you're asking for them to go rogue one day and kill everyone. The best part of this show is definitely Levi not giving absolutely a fuck. New plan, Levi and glasses lady use the others as meat shields to ensure their own safety. Shut up, Eren. Shoot the priest! I love this girl she's the best. There are like four characters I actually have any desire to see survive. Her dad sounds like he's doing a lackluster John Wayne impression. If Jojo taught me anything, it's to be suspicious of squirrels. Oh that is probably not a good thing. Somebody's having a rough day. LET ME AXE YOU A QUESTION. Sorry lady you're gonna die and that kid is traumatized for life. Bye horse. This is not gonna end well. Freckles here is kind of an asshole. This girl is adorable. I don't like your odds againt the murder monster with just a bow and arrow. She's one of the few characters I actually like please don't kill her. FUCK YOUR EYES. Oh hey horsey. Oh hey it's her dad. So all I gotta do is take down a cannibal monster and I'll stop being the family disappointment? Meanwhile, Cueball's having a bad day. Oh that is not normal. Ghoul- This show gives me a headache. Why is he sitting on a chair on top of a crane. Now I'm hungry. Big deal I eat myself sick off of mac and cheese every couple days. He's so dramatic but in a really cringy way instead of any kind of fun way. Just let them kill him. Just eat a corpse you dumb bastard. That seems like a fantastically bad idea, lady. Oh yeah who cares how many innocent bystanders he murders as long as you can still fuck you boyfriend, even I have more self respect than that. And the cringing continues. Kid I wouldn't trust you to bring back a pizza. I'm so tired, show. Thank you girl for making him shut up. I'm finding it really hard to care about any of this. I'm fine with it if they all just kill each other right here. It's only been twenty minutes and yet it feels like I've been watching this for an hour. Yep that sure is a sad backstory I guess. Why couldn't you just get him a corpse to snack on. Usually asking someone to eat you ends in a much different way. Congratulations, you're all dead. I feel like I'm supposed to be sad but really I could not give less of a fuck. Eat shit, dude. Hunter- I got a bad feeling about this. I do like Killua's sexy dad. Oh hell no, one Hisoka is more than enough trouble. This is not a date, somebody's going to die. Psychic girl is very cute and I'm worried for her safety. Don't worry kiddo you'll get your creepy mummy. You know what that means, fake mustaches for everyone. That seems like a bad idea. That means all ten shadowbeasts are dead. Oh fuck are they calling in sexy dad am I gonna get him killed? Go for it kids, catch those guys I'm sure you'll do your best. You've jinxed it, something's definitely about to go wrong. I am concerned for my children here. Definitely a trap, it's always a trap. Well you guys have killed a bunch of people, I'm sure there's plenty of personal grudges. Not as unrelated as you'd think. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY CHILDREN. OH NO LEAVE MY KIDS ALONE. Owwww his legs. Please don't hurt them they're adorable children. I got a real bad feeling about this. Gundam- Somebody just shoot Benedryl already. I do like the robot ball friend. Here kid have a flask. You can never go wrong with cake but ice cream is good too. Yep you're terrible and you should feel bad. Get in the robot, Shinji. Bitches are crazy, kid. And then this plan went straight to hell, because of course it did. Yes just shoot the kid and destroy the robot already. I have no idea who's fighting who anymore. Full Frontal is the most disappointing name I've ever heard. Naruto- Naruto, continuing to be a dumbass. Porn man was a lot more tolerable as a kid than Naruto is. Eww don't eat the bugs. This is boring hit him with th stick again. I'm falling asleep it's been a long day. I feel like sparring with frogs isn't really a hard task. Oh great the annoying ones are back. Why is my boyfriend still a kid when does he turn back into a grown man. God, go fuck yourself Sasuke. Okay I do like the messenger lizard. Imagine having to explain to people that you got your spine broken by an elderly frog. I like this angry guy he gets shit done. Boobs. Okay mayonnaise on potatoes sounds like a crime punishable by death. Kid's got a point, I get sore from my boobs too. Naruto is by far the least interesting part of Naruto. At least toad mode gives him some great eyeshadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Titan- [sasha]... She's one of the few characters I actually like please don't kill her. NOT SO FUN FACT: The original manga author was planning on killing Sasha off in the very chapter this recent episode adapted. He changed his mind after his editor locked himself in the closet and cried his eyes out. He made the wise choice. So I stayed up for the whole block tonight, meaning the ratings are going to be worse than ever. Oh, and I've got shorthand this time instead of the usual too, I guess. SAMURAI JACK - I knew something terrible was going to happen to those cute baby rams. Aku pulling Jack out of the final (ha!) time portal felt like a cheap move on his part, but it makes sense that Jack would lose all hope after that one. The juxtaposition between Jack's mental tea ceremony and Ashi kicking ogre ass was beautiful, and even moreso was her finally doing what Satsuki couldn't and kill her bitch mother dead. And next week we're going full Labyrinth apparently. DRAGONBALL SUPER/KAI - First he gets punched in the face by Goku, and then gets petrified by demon spit. It wasn't easy being Krillin this week, but at least he didn't get exploded like Spopovich or vaporized like Kibito (I always knew he was expendable). In regards to Super only, Whis is still very fun, and for Kai, somehow Babidi and Dabura make Freiza and Cell seem like nice guys. Must be the latter two's affability. ATTACK ON TITAN - FUCK YEAH SASHA EPISODE. Seeing her take out a Titan with no ODM gear and no swords, just an axe and a couple bows and arrows, was mighty impressive and made me like her even more than I already did. It was nice to see that her woodsy Texan father managed to survive all right. TOKYO GHOUL - Okay, maybe my hate for Nishiki earlier was a little unfounded. When he's not trying to kill Hide, he's actually somewhat decent, and that backstory made some decent sense. Also, I was not expecting my whole "Touka eating human food on purpose" misconception to be so on-the-nose. The non-mask fetishist part of me was pleased with this episode. Well, apart from them cutting this week's omake. HUNTER x HUNTER - Hmm. Well, at least they're only just hostages at this point. GUNDAM UNICORN - Despite being sleep-deprived at 2AM, I was actually kinda paying attention to this episode more than usual. Best parts were the Nahel Argama captain telling Angelo to go fuck himself, and Marida kicking his ass out of her own volition. NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - Seeing Naruto gradually improve at something is rather refreshing. Easily my favorite part of his Sage Mode is the rectangular pupils. Meanwhile, Sasuke's still a jerk (ain't gonna work), and apparently there's a hot blonde chick in a squad of black people. She was pretty hot. GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX - This was one of those episodes where you were left with more questions than answers, and the ideas behind those unknown answers are rather disturbing. A cyberized girl aging 60+ years in just 16 and a clone of a daughter who's heading the terrorist group who captured her. Not even my plothole-filler skills could come up with satisfying theories behind those facts. Oh well, at least their takedown of those random army guys was pretty fun. Felt good listening to the full version of Run Rabbit Junk in the episode. [we got bbc] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 TOKYO GHOUL - Okay, maybe my hate for Nishiki earlier was a little unfounded.

Also, I was not expecting my whole "Touka eating human food on purpose" misconception to be so on-the-nose. The non-mask fetishist part of me was pleased with this episode. Well, apart from them cutting this week's omake. I don't know what was up with that. Maybe they were running low on time for whatever reason and had to make a cut? But the omakes showed even while Sand Whale and Me ate up a bunch of time, so I don't know why they'd do it. This was a good night of shows, but as has become unfortunately common recently, I really faded out during the second half of shows. I need to rewatch Hunter because of this, since I didn't pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 My guess is that either they realized the omakes are pointless in the grand scheme of things, or that this specific one was too racy for TV. Personally, I'm curious as to whether or not the On-Demand version has it. That aside, I have an announcement. Tomorrow, I will be graduating from college. Of course, I'm gonna go back for grad school and all, but still, this is quite the achievement for me. And because my graduation falls on a Sunday, I will be unable to watch the recordings of tonight's show's then, so don't be surprised if they pop up later this week. For now, I'll just leave the rest of you to watch and talk about them first. As for what you'll be watching and talking about, Jack and Ashi find themselves trapped in a futuristic Labyrinth minus a robotic David Bowie (boo), after a six-month timeskip the newest member of the Son family is born, Goku and Vegeta directly challenge Shin's claims that they're no match for even one of Babidi's henchmen, Conny learns what inexplicable horror befell his village while the Survey Corps' investigation of Wall Rose raises only further questions, the anti-Ghoul task force CCG officially sends two of their top-class investigators to lay waste to the 20th Ward's humanitarian population, Gon and Killua find themselves in the den (web?) of the Phantom Troupe following their too-successful tracking job, Riddhe fucks things up for Banagher once again as the race towards Laplace's Box begins, Pain begins his search for the Nine Tails Jinchuriki by paying a visit to his hometown, and Section 9 is tasked with protecting a reclusive mathematician from a Chinese fembot assassin. 8:00 - Dragonball Super #17 - Pan is Born!
