I didn't mind it specifically this week, after two weeks it helped to have a slow episode to reorient myself.

It wasn't to explain to us, it was to show their progression

I don't give a gently caress. The show explained it already. We didn't need to go over it again.

I like how they start the episode explaining how there's 4 techniques but then they keep going "oh yeah here's this other bullshit technique but no it's totally still the 4 exercises"

I'm going to guess this series starts really stretching the boundaries of these "rules" with nen powers as it goes on, doesn't it?

Well to be correct. These are just advanced applications of the techniques. Gyo is using Ren and sending it into your eyes. In is using Zetsu on just parts of your aura.

The rules are pretty free form. How everything fits together is explained in a few episodes. (And one of the most interesting things is brought up.)

Nen is very strange because it passes itself off as a very technical system to begin with, but the usage leads to stuff that it really doesn't matter.

I love how they spend the entire episode making him out to be this totally bad dude and then Killua pulls that stunt and scares him so bad that he just no-shows for their fight.

Is this pirate leader lady just going to casually be on fire in the background for the entire episode?

Since I know how much everyone here loves Akame ga Kill, I figured I'd bring it up here that the manga finally ended. It hit most of the beats of the anime's ending (though somehow being even edgier), with one big difference. Tatsumi (the dumb MC) doesn't end up dying. Instead this happens.



He becomes a dragon man.

So in other words, he never fucks Esdeath. Ending sucks.

But not with Esdeath, so it doesn't matter.

It also didn't happen on Toonami, so it doesn't count either way.

Speaking of, now that Goten has appeared, we can officially put Goku on the list. He had Gohan before Z, so he wasn't on til now.

It's not a happy ending unless Tatsumi hosed Esdeath. :colbert:


This is just... I mean it's fitting for the series, but it's not happy.

"Quality Control" is just a myth; this block has aired plenty of garbage anime in the past and will undoubtedly do so again in both the near and distant future

if you're asking why they picked up AgK specifically, it's probably because Sentai was only charging pennies for the broadcast rights on account of the anime bombing so hard that the manga author was told to shut it down and get out by whoever the gently caress was publishing it
