For the all the shit you can give Kishimoto I'll at least that he's at least doesn't sexualize his younger characters. The fucking state of anime when that's something I can give someone credit for.
It's a lot more noticeable in the Boruto manga how tame Kishimoto draws his young female characters compared to the new guy

Isekai has always been a core part of Adult Swim's identity.

Is it Isekai when you're just transported to your own self a few hundred years earlier?

DMCV starts with an over the top cheesy badass demon slaying montage.

message pops up: 'this game does not endorse smoking or encourage the use of cigarettes.'

I like the cut of this game's jib

DMCV was SO GOOD. Can't think of a game in a long time where I immediately wanted to jump back into it after I beat it.

I really like what DMCV is good at but the things it is not good at are rather glaring by comparison. The levels for example are generally just arena's with the paths connecting them and most are pretty lackluster looking overall.

It's definitely lacking in the variety department but visuals are never something I'd knock the game for

The levels are made of good quality assets, its just that the art design doesn't always match and the actual level design leaves a lot to be desired. I also found myself getting turned around a lot and not realizing it until I wasted a minute running in the wrong direction. The elements that are lacking often become more obvious when you see them taking the time to animated distinct and unique mini movies for every time Nico drives the van to you.

the dream scenario for me of course is to replace Hunter x Hunter and shippuden with an hour of one piece

what you guys don't wanna see Lucy get tied up in a compromising position a thousand times? or Erza get beat up and lose almost all her clothes before one shotting her opponent? or Natsu eating random thing and winning somehow?

Quick Podcast Comments:
  • Rising Shield Hero is actually a Crunchyroll production. They helped fund it - the show wouldn't exist without them. I expect them to push it.
  • The Mob Psycho 100 II simludub hasn't even been released right? Megalobox ends in two weeks, I'm not sure I'd expect new Mob so soon.
  • How is "Visual Prowess" supposed to be translated?
  • Roshambo isn't a bad translation of Rock-Paper-Scissors. It's a respected alternate name.
  • LOL at the SAO breakdown :P
  • The rap was good and more music should be dubbed, shut up Grexeno (and others)!
  • FWIW, that not the first time Akamaru has done the pee-jutsu

i mean the best replacement for Hunter x Hunter would be one piece, but we're not expecting that are we?

Oh right, considering my work schedule, it doesn't matter what replaces HxH since I won't be able to watch it. Bummer, first time I won't be able to watch a show that gets announced for the block.

Unless it's something that they treat almost like a replay ala Outlaw Star or Lupin Part IV it'll move up and they'll push stuff like Jim Jam and Black Clover down first.

Oh god

I already was freaking out when Jojo was moved to 1:30

If it's moved to 2, I can't watch it anymore & that is just going to hurt so much more than most people would understand. Not being able to rewatch my favorite show with a group, especially after all my avatar planning & months of anticipation of specific moments, would be such a damn downer.

The bullshit gets a lot worse in the final arc

Who will win a meteor summoned by the queen of dragons that can wipe out a village or a crippled red head

A God with unlimited magic and is able to manipulate reality or A red head dummy with motion sickness

The most powerful being in the world and is immune to all forms of magic or the same shonen boy but with magic

this is a solid video to watch if you care about the western animation industry at all

talks about what Chris Savino did
he is know for his work on ren and stimpy
creating dexter's lab
heavy involvement with the powerpuff girls
and creating the loud house among other things.
