Right, this episode. Rather...unpleasant, to say the least.

Just got told to "Shut up about whitewashing", concerning the GITS movie, by people who I don't think have seen it yet
So I try not to be a cynic or to jump on a hate train because it's the cool thing to do or whatever, but tonight's Tokyo Ghoul really soured me (and I thought the first episode was merely okay).
It was so "in your face" in every way, both visually and in the dialogue. There's no subtlety or nuance to be found anywhere, even relative to other shonen series. The friendship dramatics felt so forced and robotic. The extreme close ups on the eyes, the hilarious amounts of blood, the screaming monologues. Just blaaaah

At least Tokyo Ghoul is just hilarious in how it wants to be all dark & in your face. I can actually comment on things happening compared to Unicorn which just sucks all the energy from me. Plus having seen it, I totally understand why it was requested for the block, because it was probably the younger viewers who were fans of the manga.
I want to see how stupid it gets the same way I was looking forward to seeing what they'd do in Akame ga Kill. It's actually fun/interesting to watch it & witness how not to do a "dark" series, where Black Lagoon was able to handle it sooooo much better.

After hearing how bad S2 gets, I want to witness where it goes, I'm sticking around. I'm actually laughing at times, because I could totally see myself being all "YOOOOOO, CHECK OUT THIS SHOW" & showing off random scenes if I discovered this in junior or high school, but now know how a "seinen" series should really be in terms of being "dark" & all that.
Heh.
I've already permanently lost any interest in Tokyo Ghoul. It's now part of my "time to prep next week's schedule" routine, the way Naruto has been for years.

Kars's English voice actor is (or used to be? Bit unclear) the theater-arts instructor at the college I had gone to

Pretty sure this broke her heart a bit
There's a building right down the street from her mother's house dedicated to him. This is how I know
And now I'm sad! That sure took a turn.
Well then...let's talk about something else

The final episode of Gundam IBO aired today. I won't talk spoilers since I know some people are waiting for it here. Generally tho, I think season 2 is much more consistent than season 1. It's not perfect to be sure, but I generally I would say I enjoyed watching it. It's a much different season than the first tho, and I don't know if people here will like the direction the series goes in. It'll be interesting to see reactions.
What I will say is if you liked Gundam Barbatos in the first season, then you'll REALLY LIKE it in the second. Gundam Barbatos just keeps getting cooler as the series goes along.

If there's one complaint I had is I wish the series better developed the idea of Mikazuki and Akihito being bros. This last episode had a moment that really should have been a bigger deal if they had better played up the two always fighting arm and arm.
Yeah, it sounds like S2 is gonna be a little interesting this time around.

It's only been two episodes of Tokyo Ghoul and I'm not sure what to make of it. The best friend character feels at odds with this show. I feels like he's either gonna die or become a ghoul because he comes off as way too regular to main character on this show.
From the bit of the manga I've read, they hint much more strongly at something being up with the organ transplant than in the anime. Though they never give the answer in the anime, afaik.
More generally, the Tokyo Ghoul manga seems like it did think everything through about ghouls and whatnot, but the anime totally botches it.

Oh, so the anime goes the Dimension W route of trying to cram waaaaaaay too many chapters into 12 episodes & it probably should've been 24 of manga content instead of giving 12 to anime-only stuff.
Next chance I'll get, I'll have to see if my little sister saw it since she has the manga, it would be interesting to hear the view of someone from the demographic it's aimed at & how they feel it works compared to the manga.

Was all of Toonami Rick and Morty last night? My DVR interface is terrible and I'm dozens of episodes behind on stuff so I'm trying to pinpoint what to delete. I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum so I appreciate the help!
...but what if you're like me and know in your heart of hearts that Barbatos is a lame ass design?
Toonami begin at midnight with DBZ Kai. Only Jack and Super were pre-empted.

About Lisa Lisa jobbing in JoJo, I don't really mind it all that much because everybody who isn't Joseph in Battle Tendency seems to job. When Caesar is first introduced, he throws his bubbles at the Pillarman, and Wamuu immediately cuts them, and him, to bits. Loggins ends up getting killed by Esidisi without a fight, and Wamuu almost kills Messina with barely a fight (these are Joseph's and Caesar's trainers, remember). And then Caesar jobs again in his second fight with Wamuu. So I don't really see the big deal in Lisa Lisa jobbing to Kars considering how everyone else in this part jobs to the Pillarmen.
Hell, Caesar arguably jobs harder in his second fight than Lisa Lisa. He almost kills Wamuu, but makes a mistake right before his victory, and gets himself killed. The fight was fair, though. Kars cheated in his fight with Lisa Lisa, who probably would have killed him in a fair fight.

It basically has so far. Can't wait for the female protagonist!
Can't answer that.
So basically, I can ignore my DB Super recording, then. One less thing that needs to be caught up on!

I thought Jojo was supposed to be uncensored, but I definitely saw censor shadows last night. What gives?
I think the JoJo anime had some built in censorship like that. Same with Tokyo Ghoul (though that one was a lot more obvious).

Man God, this isn't your ninja way.
This is the path of darkness.
Sometimes censorship is baked in.
Like with Tokyo Ghoul last night, when the guy's head got kicked at Keneki.
Man God already awakened his Sharingan.

I'm back, guys! I had to attend a wedding this weekend and I didn't really use my laptop so I never came on here. I saw the April Fools Day stuff and since it was new Rick and Morty, I felt better about it than I originally had (It helped I saw most of the shows that were on beforehand and after except Jack (that was the only one that hurt a bit :'( ).
The [adult swim] April Fools Rick and Morty Season 3 Premiere and Takeover > Cartoon Network's "Let's put googly eyes on everyone! That's funny!"

they tone down the censor bits in the blu rays but, like Tokyo Ghoul, some of the more gruesome bits are still censored.
