Gooood morning everyone. Quite an up and down night on Toonami
Excellent work SAB (Dereshishishishishi)
Attack on Titan
Yeah, who didn't see this coming. Well, besides a few people.
It's from this point on the manga got decent. A shame anime-only people will have to wait until Season 2...
Bleach
Blah blah blah blah blah blah
Hey look, Fullbringer backstory that's far too late for anyone to care
Just two more left.
Shippuden
After this aired, I checked the manga chapters this was based on. Two chapters wasn't sufficient, it needed like four. Naruto Kai will have like 4-5 chapter pacing if it ever happens.
One Piece
Backstory time! Kid Robin is adorable, and we learn a little more about giants. And yes, Saul has the D initial.
I know people were complaining that this wasn't tragic yet. This is the happy part, just be patient.
Gurren Lagann
Man, Simon is just an emotional wreck, but I can't blame him now. Hopefully St-I mean Nia can shake some sense into him
Hellsing Ultimate
Violence violence violence violence. We can also add "baby-eating" to the list of things Adult Swim CAN show.
For those curious about the bit at the beginning (I looked it up); Alucard's gun is called the Jackal. Named after the eponymous assassin in the 1973 film "Day of the Jackal" (hence the British sniper at the end). Bruce Willis starred in the poorly-received 1997 remake "The Jackal" (hence why he was killed). They did a similar joke in Episode 2 with Seras cannon Harkonnen (named after the villain in Dune).
Bascially, Kouta Hirano is a fucking nerd.
