The question shouldn't be is it an ass pull the question should be do you like klabatterman at a plot point the way its introduced, explained, and executed. Oni Actually clearly doesn't but the majority do.

Pages of bullshit arguments even though GMN has a good point. I am entitled to my opinion so get over it. It's not even that big of a deal, just a brief suspension of disbelief in a show about pirates with super powers hence why I said I didn't care about it.

Recording the podcast yesterday made me realize that I actually prefer watching Blue Exorcist to Kill la Kill. It is astoundingly cookie cutter, yeah, but Kill la Kill peaks very early on with Tsmugu's intro and only sporadically recaptures that magic with episodes like Nui's intro before the show as a whole sharply declines in its second half and becomes a huge chore. Blue Exorcist never reaches those heights, but it has some pretty good comedy sprinkled throughout, and when the show falls off a cliff, it's entertaining instead of a chore because you want to see how stupid it will actually get. Plus it always looks really nice!
I mean, I wouldn't say it's necessarily better from a quality standpoint, but if I had to choose which rerun to watch I'd probably watch Blue Exorcist.

Some more musing,
Being 'saved by the cavalry' is always a somewhat annoying trope, because the rescuer just-so-happens to get to the scene at just the right time. I guess when employing this, there are a few things to consider - do the characters know a cavalry is coming, do the viewers? Does it make sense for them to be headed for the scene in the first place? In this case, we had no idea the Merry could move on its own, so this event is basically completely unpredictable. In that sense this does feel like it 'comes out of nowhere'.
We learn that the merry is capable of moving on its own as soon as its necessary for that to be possible. (just like we learned the Merry could repair itself as soon as that was necessary in Skypiea.)
So I can see why that might be irritating. But, that ability feels to me it had enough presence before this point to be an acceptable surprise rather than a bothersome one.
I'm not sure there's much we need to find out at this point?

Opinions can still be wrong though
As a fan of KLK, I'm I going to regret listening?
If it were up to be as Kirito, I would have...
Lisbeth, Sinon, Leafa,
and Strea for the pentagon.

Don't just the visuals change? Kind of odd that they're showing the full opening in this case, then.

One of the great mysteries of anime: what the actual fuck is going on with the Hunter X Hunter dub.
I was thinking Lenny Kravitz.

The fact we're getting Jojo dubbed AND we're getting Sailor Moon redubbed uncut before we get HxH dubbed kinda blows my mind
It's literally being held hostage for ransom in a dingy warehouse somewhere, but its rich parents won't pay a cent for its release.

I'm more curious if there is an alternate universe where the series never went on hiatus and never looked like it was drawn in 5 minutes

Like the whole thing is available to prime users to stream for free? Fuck we're doomed
No, there's a paywall.
I wouldn't mind listening to Hunting for your Dream for 100 episodes.

You just mean that the episodes are available to buy/rent? I dunno not really sure if for sale on amazon digitally is comparable to exclusive streaming on netflix/hulu. More likely wb didn't both to pay for tv rights/tv rights are too expensive would cause it not to be on toonami.
Also worth noting that the dub seems to actually be by Warner, not Viz.

The GOP debate is the funniest show I've seen all week.
The GOP debate.
For people who watch Durarara!! and think, "this didn't have enough characters."
It cannot be understated what a great 2+ hours of television this was. Even if you don't know anything about politics, it was a fascinating watch.
When I take aim, it is straight and true!
