Mendou got so much shit from Gendo and Haro when he was new for the anime he liked. It was like hazing. lol. I think it happened to Animetal, too. They were both good users.
I gave him shit too as well when he first joined. Him and Gendo became good friends but Mendou doesn't hear much from him, if any, from him at all these days. I still talk to Mendou here and there.

You still talk to Mendou? He and I used to chat on AIM all the time. He was one of the last people left still signing in before my account basically became just a way to find my phone.

I doubt he'll ever come back. Hell, I don't know why I do from time to time.

Internet in my pocket for me. I don't see myself being bothered to come around nearly as often if I had to sit at a computer rather than just be standing around wherever I am.

In other news, Attack on Titan season 2 is coming out next year and lets not forget to mention that new Berserk coming out soon.

Man, I hope Berserk gets finished some time ever. I'll start reading it again if that happens. I used to collect volumes in high school and burn through them because I had the DVD box set of the anime and wanted to know how it ended. hah!

Pretty god damn pumped for that one and the Musou game it's getting too.

That new Berserk game? Fuck yes. I never did get to play the old Dreamcast one.

My pick would be Akame Ga Kill, Parasyte the maxim, and Watamote (Watamote could be a comedy game like the stick of truth or something)

The Guyver and BAOH third person action games. Darker Than Black fighting game. Lots of anime could be fighting games.

some cool stuff from this season

thunderbolt fantasy - this is like a chinese kungfu film except its done with puppets like team america or thunderbirds and its really violent. i just watched the first episode and it was really cool.

91 days - a mafia themed anime from the creators of baccano, also looks promising.

days - a soccer anime, pretty standard sports show, but if youre a big sports anime fan like me youll probably enjoy it a lot.

Eh, a lot of people are loving Akame Ga Kill! and Kill La Kill but I wasn't crazy about either and I got less than halfway through both. They weren't so bad either, but they didn't do much for me. Seems a lot of the stuff that's hyped all the way to Toonami now isn't as great in my eyes as it is to most people. Maybe I'm getting old. Attack on Titan was another one that people raved about and I was kinda lukewarm to it (at least I finished it). Blue Exorcist was a little better than the other new stuff on Toonami I've seen. Nothing amazing, though.

I gotta get back into checking series that aren't on TV instead of just old OVAS. There's a few I have in mind.

Also, wtf this page, Jesus.

Toonami will be all new tonight. Always, something nice to watch on a Saturday night. One Punch Man seems okay so far.

attack on titans fun premise is dragged down by an overwrought political plotline and too many unlikable or boring characters. it should have probably been a bit shorter.

I hate when animes drag out like Dragon Ball, or have a disappointing ending.

It wasn't all that long ago that KLK was supposed to "save" anime. Needless to say, not so much. For a series that's supposed to parody Shonen and fan service tropes, they tend to play things straight after a while.

Just seen the first episode recently.
Really love the characters in it, especially Mankanshoku

Honestly, Mankanshoku is the weakest character of the show, as more times than not, not only does she kills the pace of the show, but never really evolves past the loud wacky set piece.

All in all, KLK is actually a good anime, but you should take a lot of the parody elements with a grain of salt.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

Toonami will be all new tonight. One Punch Man is not living up to the hype. If I was him, I would do things differently. I would be living the life, being rich and happy.

I liked when he hit the guy in the nuts, because I'm immature

That was a good part. He should act more like Space Dandy. That guy knew how to have fun.

Texhnolyze is fuckin' depressing. Battle Angel and Blood Reign are kinda bummers. I remember Now and Then, Here and There being a pretty sad one, but my memory of it is foggy. Grave of the Fireflies is obvious.

Toonami is back and all new tonight. Tom needs to fix his ship so, he can leave that planet. Doesn't he miss cruising around in his space ship?

I'm sure the Absolution will be rebuilt by the time JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is added to the line-up in October. Otherwise, the Intruder III event planned for November will be weird.

I would of enjoyed a story arc where Tom discusses repairing, and/or looking for supplies. Maybe they will throw one together soon?

I'm watching both arcs.

The suspense is killing me for Future Arc, god, I nearly lost it when a certain wheel-chaired girl made her return.

We literally have a website solely for this purpose.

Heres what I have seen though I'm admittedly shit at keeping it up to date. If you have an account you can have it automatically compare what we've seen and how we rated it.

Also I'm afraid "anime games" aren't really a thing unless you mean a game or visual novel explicitly based on an anime, something like Catherine just uses Japanese style art and at that rate virtually every Japanese game not trying for a western aesthetic would qualify as an "anime game". Another thing you mentioned, The Boondocks, isn't an anime but an american series inspired more by korean style animation.

This is probably the first time in 10 years that I'm not watching anything in a season. Did I overlook something? Mob Psycho? What ended up good so far?

Either that way, I'm more than happy to subsist on the 2nd cours of Macross and Re:Zero.

This might be the first time in a while that I'll actually watch anything on Toonami in a while, instead of using it as background noise. (I've already watched IBO through and and made headway with HxH on Netflix) By the time OPM ends, I usually go to sleep.

I finished with Aldnoah.Zero (made a blog review on it) and it honestly made me a bit depressed considering how the second season became a total mess. Frankly, it's the poor man's Code Geass or War of the Worlds at best.

Toonami can be fun and exciting to watch if you have nothing to do on a Saturday night.

It sucks when a season becomes messed up, maybe they can still pull it together.

>that Bleach ending

That shit was a disaster. The chapter was clearly rushed to hell and back, and really didn't resolve much of the plot points. It was long overdue, though, as Kubo ran out of ideas during the fullbring arc which he just copied from Jojo. It's funny how this arc barely had any consequences, and Aizen gets to chill in his chair for all eternity still. Yammy and Unohana died, but that's about it. All of the Sternritter kicked the bucket but who cares about them? Yhwach certainly didn't.

The pairings were basically what we expected for years to come so no surprises there. Glad this shit is over with, I'm not sure if I'll touch another manga by Kubo ever again.
