The story really breaks from the mold to do some world building.
I feel like it adds a lot to the story, but the action gets put a bit on the back burner

I just look at the new SAO movie news like...
The thirst for Fairy Tail that I have planted will infest the system!

It's a given that this is coming to toonami, the more interesting debate is if it will push DBZ back
I don't think so. I think we get 11:30 back temporarily for Attack on Titan S2
That would make a lot of sense.
I mean, Attack on Titan S2, especially if it was something close to a Space Dandy situation where the episodes are airing either before or very soon after the Japanese airing, could be considered too big to show at 12:30 or later.

But do you think we'll get a simulcast? The chances seem slim to none in my opinion unless toonami throws money at the project.
I don't really know. Attack on Titan SHOULD, out of any possible list of shows, be at the very top of the list for a simuldub, and I don't think it's crazy to think about Adult Swim putting money down to get something so huge on TV as close to the Japanese airing as possible.
I expect JoJo, Tokyo Ghoul, One Punch Man, and Attack on Titan at the bare minimum.
I said bigger damnit! AOT! SAO 3! DBZ SUPER!

that new Gundam show
Last night's theme was "big bros". On to the reviews:
Dragon Ball Z: Kai - The pacing felt a bit slower than usual for Kai. Watching Frieza get frustrated is so satisfying thanks to all the build up. BTW, were all Sayians bad or were they subjugated by Frieza? Because I wonder if blowing up the planet did the universe a favor. A pretty good episode, especially thanks to pissed off Goku. Rating: Vegeta's Tears
Akame ga Kill - This show ain't no Gurren Lagann, no matter how many parallels are drawn ("bro", brotherly punch, sacrifice, etc.) To be fair, the episode wasn't terrible it's just that I have never been able to get invested in these characters, particularly the mustache guy who only appeared in one episode before this. Hearing "danger beasts" makes me groan every time it's uttered. At least we have a new crazy girl to look forward to. Rating: Trump Cards x 10
Parasyte - First up, the voice performances are thankfully much better than in AgK. The Mom's voice wasn't good but the rest of the cast sounded fine to me. I like the premise which seems to be John Carpenter's "The Thing" mixed with some shonen. The animation also looks great. The pacing was a little slow but this was the first episode so I can overlook it. I'm intrigued. Rating: Creepy
Michiko & Hatchin - I think I'm an outlier here but I can't get into this show anymore. It feels more like I'm enduring it than enjoying it. It's got style with great animation and great music and slick action but every character (besides Hatchin) is so scummy I just don't care about them; especially Michiko who never grows or changes. I think I just want to see how the story ends at this point. Rating: Busted motor
Naruto: Shippuden - This episode was okay if you skip the parts with Naruto training because who honestly gives a crap about those characters? The battle between the Akatsuki is really what makes this episode good and it's always great to see Kakashi kicking butt. Even with the training scenes, this is still leaps and bounds better than early Shippuden. Rating: Searing Migrane
One Piece - Just awful. Practically no redeeming qualities. A terrible premise with terrible filler characters with lackluster animation. It makes the previous filler episode feel Oscar worthy. Rating: Zero Piece
KLL la KILL - Such a hype first episode. Seeing Ryuko in her original outfit makes me wish Toonami would air the OAV episode as a bonus. Rating: Way Found Again

Toonami |Oct15| The Edge That Will Pierce the Heavens
Took a quick look at the sub for this episode. It appears that most of the time they're using the phrase "okunote."
Well, Sentai also could have used a thesaurus.
It's basically a turn of phrase. If you look at the kanji, "oku" is "back," "rear," or "interior," and "te" is "hand." So basically the phrase is implying that you've got something hidden behind your hand, a la a trump card in Spades.

They also love to use "dai pinchi" a lot because that is Mine's actual power. She gets stronger in a pinch. Like a starter pokemon.

Someone call Akame ga Kill and tell them they've been out-edged.
Don't care if the translation is proper, the phrase spam is bad.

That Michiko episode was crazy. I think the Parasyte dub was surprisingly good.

SAO can't be stopped. Won't be stopped.
When we're all on the brink of death someday, and more SAO will probably be in production, we'll just to look at it. And acknowledge that it outlasted us all.
Kirito will have extended his harem to alternate realities or some bullshit.

The games aren't bad, don't listen to the biased rabble
There are several cases where game adaptations are better than their source material.
Special edition consoles are for losers tho

Normally I'd agree but the vast majority of PS4 special edition consoles only have a custom faceplate. If somebody is picking up the system for the 1st time and likes SAO I don't see a problem but if you're spending $400 for what is essentially an extra faceplate then lol.
I've been on the internet long enough to know that some people wouldn't joke about those kind of things.

Was that jump fighting game any good? I need a bleach fix.
Jump Ultimate Stars is good.
