Skypiea is okay. It's probably the second-worst long arc, though. Maaaaaaybe third if you wanna count Jaya as part of it.
Also RICK AND MORTY IS ALMOST ON

Reading ahead has actually made the anime better for me. As I am picking up on things I missed the first time through. Helps that the dub is good but then you also get to see certain moments animated and it's just woooo.

Rewatching YYH again.
The Dark Tournament is the best anime arc ever for me up there with Alabasta, the Auction in HxH and a few upcoming ones in Shippuden.

Sorry, I know they were tagged but with two significant spoilers from two currently airing series I felt the need to remove
:/
I tend to click spoiler tags anyway, but otherwise I'm sometimes spoiled by YouTube. Sometimes comments, sometimes related videos.

You can't fall asleep during it if you don't watch it.
Me too, because spoiler tags half the time is a real spoilers.
Seda, Nag someone! Shades of black on the spoiler tags clearly :V

Sword Art wasn't actually 100% boring last episode. But I guess pretty animation and godlike music can make anything slightly more entertaining.
You have two hours to finish it or I'm PMing spoilers.

The only solution is to go play 999 right nao, so you can't be spoiled :3
I haven't played 999 (and honestly i'm not really interested in getting around to it)
Yet you're playing Nier, a game which people only play for its story/dialogue and music
;-;
One day. Maybe I start with Levyne

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 126:
Okay, this episode was kind of really hilarious when you know how much they mis-stepped on some of the choices here. I can see where the lines of delineation came from via the internal logic, like for example having The Outers give the infant Hotaru back to a recovering Tomoe who now has amnesia, it is a nice neat warm and fuzzy end, but not the proper end. Indeed, I think somebody on staff had an actual clue of what was supposed to happen, The Outers decide to raise the kid on their own as a way of easing into retirement and shouldering a new duty.
Pluto is most decidedly not dead here and indeed she was brought back in Infinity to showcase one of the reliable powers the Sailor Guardians possess and that is reincarnation. Indeed the guardians though mechanics not are functionally immortal and when the body is terminated the spirit will find new flesh. Pluto is a strange case because she basically incarcerates backwards but that is the guardian of time for you. At any rate, these major plot choices don't really for anything the next season since that was the time even in the manga where The Outers were out of action. Though it did mean my favorite section from Dreams never got properly introduced. Still, once we get to Stars, which actually began at the late stage Dreams arc, the choices really hit the wall here.
Meanwhile the pink hellbeast has arisen, her pure heart restored and through contrived coincidence she get closure on Hotaru because I suppose there was no other way to handle this? I suppose it is nice and touching but as usual I found the ChibiUsa sub-plot to be boring and plodding. It is also worth noting that it was supposed to be Sailor Chibi Moon getting the big power up here in response to all of the Hotaru stuff but since they made her into a literal joke this season, that will have to wait.
Finally we come to Haura and Michiru and the closure they get for this arc. Indeed I actually rather liked this, it was the natural conclusion of the tensions that were being built up all season and the manga could never have a proper blow off since the plot and interaction of the two groups differed wildly. In this storyline The Outers finally come to blows with Sailor Moon over her actions and her very philosophy. What follows is actually one of the best character moments of the entire franchise as Moon acknowledges the flaws in her ideology but has no regrets about protecting Hotaru.
Things get a bit odd as the Inners attack and Sailor Moon fights back. Usually the storyline goes the hero takes the beating in order to stick to the lofty principles and is thus a better person. Here she takes some blows and then uses the Sailor Moon Super power to basically put them in their place and when that happens they immediately stop, kneel and finally acknowledge Usagi as the true Messiah and then fuck off to live the good life and to stay the hell away from Super S. This would be a fine wrap up to the season but we got one more episode to go through.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 127:
Right, I suppose this episode exists because they needed to fill out a certain number of episodes this season because it is pretty useless. The plot is basically retreading ChibiUsa leaving for the future once again and I suppose it does showcase her character growth as she is indeed much less of a brat this time around and actually likes the past. We get once last Daimon attack because we needed to give that oven closure as well and sadly this time we don't get the half a season rejoinder from ChibiUsa this time. I suppose another positive trait is Mamoru and Usagi got screen time as a couple, which was really rare at this point because certain people hated Tuxedo Mask and we got to see some of the old Inner team dynamics. Anyway a new dawn has arrived that portends a bright and dreamy future. So this was the Sailor Moon S season and I do agree with the consensus that this was the overall strongest season that had existed up to this point. The best one overall, that still remains to be seen.

Visual Novels aren't for everyone.
END OF 999 SPOILERS
Also, as someone who does Sudoku daily, the final puzzle in the game kind of broke my immersion. Seriously, this girl needed to do all this because she couldn't solve a beginner level sudoku?!?
It's great watching the anime and remembering "OMG I FORGOT THIS HAPPENED HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Come on bro
did you even know what sudoku was when you were 6? I didn't hear about it till I was in high school
Proper 999 Spoilers
I could, but it's a completely reasonable scenario. If anything, the twist is a crazy curveball.
No, because Sudoku didn't become a thing in America till the early 2000s. It was a thing in Japan dating back to the early 80s. The last time I was involved in education of young children (back in 2010), we were using Sudoku puzzles in our 6-8 year old after school programs. And considering the difficulty of the puzzle, it was of an appropriate difficulty.

Looking at the thread, it seems like this was a misunderstanding, and the translation hasn't been updated.
There's a bundle sale for Re: Hollow Fragment and the superior Lost Song tomorrow.

Can you customize who is in your harem in Lost Song?

We finally made it far enough into KlK where I can post this Mako video without fear of spoilers.

Damn it, is there? Ah well,
it's in Japanese, so I doubt anyone could understand the context (was it that one part of Mako & Ryoko sittin' on the bench?), & even then, I don't think it really spoiled anything.
I was debating on waiting until next week, but I couldn't recall anything there being from the last episode, or at the very least, being spoiler-worthy.

It's a very minor thing, but I know some people can be very strict when it comes to spoilers even if it's a short "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" bit.

Good ratings for what we can see so far
Those are going to be baaaaaaad numbers for One Piece and Attack on Titan. The dropoff from Shippuden would have to be pretty damn huge to go from a 0.4 to a 0.2 or less at that hour.
And only on one of the all-time best One Piece episodes. Go fuck yourselves, "Toonami faithful."

So, with Pre-Flight being today, it is possible that we might get our first looks at the AGK dub! ^-^
