[up]x4 You're telling me it makes less sense than Sakura ending up with the guy who had tried to kill her multiple times and who had never shown anything but disdain for her for the entire series's run even when she basically humped his leg at any opportunity?

At least with Choji you could say "oh they met after all this shit went down".

Nevermind. Demarco tweeted they will indeed rerun those other episodes in English next weekend.

Sure enough, someone uploaded the NieR: Automata review on YouTube, but wait, what the heck happened to TOM?!

Guy's looking like he made a wrong turn at some giant far-off garbage disposing planet and was offered one too many knuckle sandwiches by the locals...

TOM’s looked like that since the last Intruder event.

He got involved in some time travel shenanigans. Included having to shut down an future-evil SARA that was going around obliterating whole planets with a highly upgraded Absolution, and then also teaming up with his future self.

Also... that Mind Game film. Trippy as all hell, but it sure had some beautiful artwork. A pity that the whole plot with the protagonist escaping the whale and getting together with his girlfriend probably never happened; looks like it was just all a dream, sadly.

So because of a cold, I had to call it a night early. What I miss after Mind game?

[up][up] Everything else was subbed as well after Mind Game, so we got to get Japanese Joseph Joestar in all of his Engrish glory.

I also just realized that last night with most of Toonami being in subs, we were denied the gift of Subbed Asta.

The ending of Mindgame is actually supposed to be up to your own interpretation, like the ending of CLANNAD: After-story.

So that's why they double Bebop for that one week.

Most importantly, Grand Wizard Hokage of the Pirates gets shoved to the back half of the block. And also breaks up the IBO/HxH Crippling Depression Power Hour in the process, which may be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view.

I am almost tempted to make a twitter account just so I could tell those people saddened by BC's new schedule that there are shows ACTUALLY worth getting sad about.

Well this is certainly one piece of evidence that shows Toonami doesn't care for BC much.

I'm mostly indifferent about Black Clover's reputation, but can't lie, this conversation from the aforementioned tweet's hilarious:

Really, really terrible time slot for Black Clover. Black Clover and Hunter x Hunter should switch places

So... you want Black Clover to get an even later timeslot than this?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

got eem

On the downside, Hunter × Hunter can't catch a break with the timeslot shuffle. Seems like Progressive's going to keep the 11:30 pm timeslot since, barring a week break, the original perfectly leads up to it.

...I'm guessing Black Clover wasn't a very well-received anime adaptation, from the sounds of things here. Anyone care to give me a brief summary why? Kinda curious, and disappointed that Iron-Blooded Orphans is getting juggled around again.

It's rather cliched, and the main character, Asta, is like Naruto with all of his bad qualities and none of his good ones.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

[up][up]

  1. The source material wasn't very well received either
  2. The adaption tends to stretch things out - usually by introducing more poorly received humour - and therefore one major positive that people who like the manga tend to cite (that it's very fast paced) is lost note

We are in the dawn of the FLCL block takeover, causing TONS of schedule changes. This next week will be different. The week following will be different again, thanks to the rerun of FLCL until Memorial Day!

Outside of the pacing issues that was covered, one of the larger criticisms is just how derivative the series has been so far. It kind of comes off as Ad-libs: Shonen Edition.

I've heard things get better in the manga, so I don't want to slam the series since I've only experienced it through the anime though.
