And rightly so. It's practically a gaming event that happens once every generation.

Interstellar
Pretty good film. Would rewatch again for McConaughey and the emotional impact of gravitational time dilation. Once again Hans Zimmer delivers on the music. This time there were no explosive BWONGS and I love the incoporation of the organ. The organ brought a nice effect on certain scenes and kind of reminded me of the sound of Bach's organ pieces except in different chords. Hans Zimmer is da God.

Ahh, I forgot about the air kick to the face and Boota diving. I remember I didn't like this episode initially, but looking back, when "Chad"-genome flaunted that cape, I was like OH, THIS IS ON and felt like the setup before
. Also, not enough closeups of Nia's face.

Inuyasha: The Final Act
Was it really confirmed that the episode was sped up by 10%? Man, that would probably explain why Goryomaru and Moryomaru spoke unusually fast. It sounded like they were in a hurry that they had no time to speak. IIRC in the old Adult Swim Action only the Ending themes were played at their normal speed while there was no opening. I guess this was to fit the opening in while still having the same amount of commercial air time.
As for the plot pacing of the first episode... This felt like me playing Gran Turismo 5 a couple of years ago and using the Red Bull X2011 Prototype to go 440 km/hr down the long straightaways of Circuit de la Sarthe. It was like heelturn-ception all over the place. I remember Kagura wanted to be free from Naraku. I thought that Hakudoshi was the spawn with the heart because of the shield, so at first I was confused as to why he would want to kill Naraku as well, but it turns out the one with the real Naraku's heart was the other spawn? Need an explanation please Mike. As for the end, I hope they explain those monks with Kikiyo and PLEASE slow down the pacing! Also, I'm sorry if I didn't feel a little cringe for Miroku when Sango and Kohaku had their reunion. It didn't help that Shippo was like "Sorry Miroku, this is onee-chan loves little brother and you can't do anything about it."

Strangely enough, I never saw this episode before. Great development for Faye, and she always looks good despite being frozen for 54 years.
That Wendee Lee voice is simply the best at those adult characters.
That Faye tableflip gif is going to be very useful for
.

Another one where I missed and never saw it. Kazundo Gouda is a pure troll. The whole canister was empty and the actual package was being delivered by sea. He just made fools out of Section 9 with those needless refugee deaths in addition to the empty canister. I still don't remember or understand the motivations of Gouda or the refugees and why they are refugees to begin with. =/

Roger and Angel should've kissed IMO. LOL at Roger's nightmares and BARCODES! TOMATOES! What do they mean! Damn those European Union people! Rewatching these episodes are so much fun because I see something new or remind myself of the meaning of each episode, except for the Beck ones.
AoT news...
The anime director Tetsuro Araki is on the far right, and y'all can guess who the other three are. That Wall Maria cake though...
2016... I HOPE that they have better pre-production preparation and not suffer the same weird crap from all the horror stories I've heard from other people that watched the broadcast version. I thought they would start at Fall 2015, but this confirmation gives them more time to plan things out. I hope this gets the Space Dandy treatment of airing the dub on Toonami roughly around the same time as the JP broadcast.
Why do you people call Wall Sina "Wall Cena?"

Naraku originally removed his heart in the Band of Seven arc of the first TV anime so Onigumo's heart wouldn't prevent him from attacking Kikyo. The emotional parts of his heart were left in Mt. Hakurei (where the Band of Seven arc took place), and the physical manifestion became the infant, who has a will of its own. During a battle with a priest, the Infant was later split into two, Hakudoshi and the small baby, with the latter being the link to Naraku's lifeline and also the one hiding in Mōryōmaru.

2016 AoT s2 is fine with me, will give them another 12 chapters of content to work with so that they don't have to panic mode into a 1:1 pacing half way into the season

Remember, they blew their budget this year Movie night's not expected to be the best this year.
GASP, if One Piece keeps it's full OP tonight, Crazy Crazy Rainbow Star is possibly saved!

Nothing can save that song from being garbage
One man's trash is another man's treasure. I think it's one of the better One Piece OPs.

Crazy Rainbow gets a lot of hate because it preemptively ended one of the fan favorite openings, Brand New World. It also is rather generic and spends most of the animation going over all the characters who have nothing to do in the arc. Which is fine now but in 2007 the fanbase was sick of it.
Now the Crazy Rainbow edit that shoehorns in the two singers? That's the worst opening ever.

True to be told, I'm worried about what it means if One Piece keeps being allowed to run for two extra minutes. Makes me wonder if they plan on pushing OP to the later timeslots with the other longer running shows.Remember, they blew their budget this year

Bryce Papenbrook acting for Kirito-chan...
"Cheer for me guyz~! <3"
*Looks up Cena*
Oh, that's where it came from. He seems like a cool dude. I don't follow wrestling so I don't know much about this stuff lol. Lesnar is a perfect fit for the Armored.
I would love it if Toonami plays more retro music vids.
Aviator shades on after 1 AM aww yiss.

There's, ahem, one scene in that opening that makes sure I never, EVER skip that opening.
Figures you enjoy non-canon songs too.
The song is passable. That's not why I don't skip it. Cough. Cough.
I forget most of them >.<
I don't play favorites but if I did it would be top five material.
Who am I kidding, I do play favorites. One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, DBZ Kai, Space Dandy, 2nd Gig, Inuyasha: The Final Act, FMA:B, Big O, TTGL, Samurai Jack (despite makeing me sleepy), Shippuden, Bleach, AOT.
I hope some of the more insane ones don't have CD's as rewards.
