One day, you will stop being a shota and blossom into a real man!
B-baka! My 3ds XL wont be worth as much by then!
And what. It used pragmatic in the next sentence. Odd sentence followed by words a decent translator knows. Weirdd.
All about that Bass no Devil.

For all the problems fma 03 had, I will give it credit for knowing it was going to go down a filler path and introducing new/different elements very early on for the sake of easing the story into its filler ending a lot better. Akame Ga Kill this filler ending literally came out of nowhere without any foreshadowing and seems to be making a mess ala Soul Eater
For fun I gathered all the reactions to Shippuden's pacing and then Final Act's pacing so you can read them back to back. Hilarious:
Shippuden:
Final Act:

Final Act:
This is really fast paced
This pacing is:
It's better than being slow... like Shitpuuden.
This is a lot to process.
Me right now:
That one episode was an entire volume and THEN some???
I saw something about a flashback to a scene in the same episode
now is a good time to remind you all that Courage is the Magic that Turns Dreams into Reality
Fun fact from the 2nd SAO book: The nervegear has a age restriction, so if youre not 13 or older, you cant use it.
How does that make any sense. How. We can all confirm we're 13 at 7.

I'm going to guess NOW BE HONEST because the beast tamer girl is 12 IIRC
So the whole statement by Kirito saying that he doesnt understand how a little girl could be in the game is nonsensical.
The best line in the book was when Asuna asks for a piggyback ride and then tells kirito she can see a lake because shes higher up. (paraphrased)
"Wow! Look, you can already see the lake from here!"
"I can't see it!"
"I'll give you a ride later"
"..."
Why the ...
why sao 2 why
You say that like it's uncommon.
Why doesn't it make sense? Just because you can get around age restrictions doesn't mean they shouldn't be there in fictional law.

no Clone Wars tonight, by the way.
Well in the context of the book there is no law regarding VR yet, this is Aincrad still. Weird that someone puts an age restriction on a game for "safety reasons" then suddenly the main character is all like "what? A little kid playing this? That makes no sense, theres a rule saying they cant do that!" when an age gate doesnt stop anything
I'm bored and have a short week this week, so how about a classic TOONAMI REVIEW?
Attack on Titan
Second episode is good. Not great. Not bad. I genuinely enjoy most of the stuff before they leave training.
Dragon Ball Z Kai
This time on DBZ KAI....More legit shooking than an average episode of AOT! Fun episode, Yusuke knows how to voice act and this is some good setup. (despite the new Kai opening to the series spoiling the real fate of planet Vegeta thing) Next one is a doozy.
Naruto Shippuden
Sai's here! Sai's dead! Naruto can't walk, no wait he can! Sakura fell down some ninja stairs. Better than last week, but only barely. At least the animation has been steady these past few weeks.
One Piece
Recap Piece...still the best show on the block. I legit love Shank's VA.
Tenga Toppa Gurren Laggan
Always liked this one with the Bionic Commando drill arms, the Eureka Seven moments, and the not swerve swerve ending.
Inuyasha: The Final Act
They brought it! To Toonami! I watched this episode for the first time months ago and my brain melted. I watched the rest of the series at the very end of summer but this one. Wow. Characters just appear and disappear and the plot has a brick placed on the accelerator.
Bleach
Never seen or read any of this up until Aizenfly shows back up. Yeah, not good. Some hilarious line reads though and at least a few of my favorite Vizored showed up. The opening is quite nice though!
Space Dandy
There are two types of people in this world; those that find this episode to be a laugh riot like I do and...pretty much everyone else. The surfer lingo in the beginning and the payoff at the end should be loved by all though.
Cowboy Bebop
If one episode could be said to be a hidden gem in this, the most lauded anime of all time, it's this one. That line by spike. Those facial expressions. The dialogue between the doctor and his assistant (and her hair!) and all the little bits and pieces done by Faye. Marvelous.
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Swerve, the kid is a creepy shadow eye monster! Kimbly's not on the level! To be fair though the people at Briggs deserve to be a blood sacrifice as they are pretty much all jerkbags.
Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig
Great episode. It was all a big lie. If you didn't think Goda was on the level before now he's actively trolling. Went to Aizen class. The power of bureaucracy.
Big O
The Chobits episode as I call it. Cool ending but next episode is the payoff.
Samurai Jack
Probably my favorite episode of the series. It's either this or Aku's story time.

So much convenient steam.

I wasn't actually commenting on the pacing of Shippuden, I was just quoting Naruto or whoever said "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING". I just thought the statement was funny.

Except One Piece's normal airtime on Toonami is 21 minutes. Hell, Naruto comes in at 21 minutes WITH full opening and ending, and yet that doesn't stop them from replacing the 1:30 opening with the 30 second Toonami opening.
Makes sense. I thought that was out-of-character for you.

Huzzah! Looks like we should be getting a Space Dandy home release soon.

Longer openings though. More interestingly is that they add back the Gold Roger opening narration which adds about 40 seconds that can be cut easily. All in all, previews + eyecatchers + Gold Roger narration + Toei intro = 1 minute 50 seconds cut. Which leaves the episode run time at 22:17, the average for late night stuff but 1 minute more than what Toonami likes for new programming.

56-Hour Naruto marathon? Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon R: Episode 55
Right, so it seems that even the series has stopped treating Ali and An as any sort of serious threat by this point. Probably for the best since this duo just do not bring any sort of credible menace and that was at the start of the arc. Anyway, this is a very heavily comedic episode centered around Makoi's downright obnoxious shallow love interest gimmick and it get old quickly. This is basically her power up episode and honestly this isn't even the best episode she has had this season. Recommendation to avoid. Right, so let us talk about one of the reasons this arc not only exists but was booked the way it was. We have this Moonlight Knight character running around basically filling the same job as Tuxedo Mask. The sad thing is he is arguably better since he actually has a larger moveset then the magician. Anyway, Moonlight Knight is one large homage/in-joke to a chracter known as Moonlight Mask. From what I have researched Moonlight Mask is an incredibly almost incalculably important chracter in Japanese media for he is the very first tokusatsu hero to appear on Japanese televison and it just so happens that TOEI helped out with that production. I do admit I am unsure how familiar Sailor Moon watchers would be with the character. You can kind of think of him as Zorro or The Lone Ranger; maybe known through the general zeitgeist but kind of out the public eye since 1981 and would not have a new TV series until 1999.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon R: Episode 56
Right, so the most notable thing about this steaming turd of an episode is that it spawned the "Talent" meme due to somebody at DiC no understanding that talent was and is a euphemism for breasts. Anyway, once again we have reached the point where the evil bad guys kind have to remind themselves they have an alleged mission but are basically too busy being uninteresting love prospects to be assed half the time. Anyway, if you want to watch the whole lot of the Sailor Scouts acting like the pettiest jerks over this stupid Snow White play then this is your episode otherwise strongest recommendation to avoid and maybe take a nap instead.

Would be amazing if it was in time for Xmas. Though at the very least, maybe we'll get some news this week.Huzzah! Looks like we should be getting a Space Dandy home release soon.
Sure. I don't know how he'll be relevant at all though. Even Goten would wipe the floor with him.

What's cooler than Cooler?
Tien could probably kill Frieza at this stage
Doesnt Dende's Dragonballs provide 2 wishes, guarantee they give Frieza some god like powers or immortality with the second wish
I know that (cold) feeling.
3 wishes in fact.
I'm sure pretty much everyone ouside of Krillian, Chiaotzu and Yamcha could defeat Frieza by the end of the series.
Edit:
Was it? I guess I missed that fact.
Dude do you know how many seasons that would skip? This is too logical for dbz.
I'm really surprised that people don't jump up and grab all the dragon balls post-wish, like Goku did with the 4 star ball when he was a kid

was it actually retconned or did Toriyama just forget?
I wonder if they condense the entire fight to one episode. Hats off if they do.
Next time on DBZ Kai (spoilers FYI):
They actually do the entire fight through to Goku's death. It's a really solid episode.
PC version of LR will (probably) be 15.99 when it comes out in a few months
The last PC game I played was....Sonic R(or Sonic CD) on my Windows 98, because I didn't have the systems to play those games at the time.
I wonder if they'll be the first print copies of each. Can't remember if Xillia 2 did anything, but didn't LR have the Cloud outfit?

The Cloud outfit was a Walmart thing, or otherwise purchasable DLC.
I played Lightning Returns a few weeks ago - here's my review.

I still think Frieza is the best DBZ villain, so this is good news to me.
But he'll need a boost over 100% Full Power if he wants to stand a chance against anyone.
