I know the thread says that Yashahime was poo poo (I also thought it was extremely poo poo, and this is coming from someone who liked the Inuyasha manga), but what was the consensus on Moroha? I thought she was the only good thing about it

man i havent watched toonami in a while, wtf

the Plague Years Arc here on Toonami has been fuckin' wild*, lemme tell ya

PREVIOUSLY, ON TOONAMI

Blade Runner: Black Lotus - A loving clip-show recap episode. Yes, really. The year was two-thousand-and-twenty-loving-one and Crunchyroll/Alcon decided that this loving show necessitated a loving recap episode to make sure everyone was up to speed on the plot as we head into what will no doubt be a THRILLING climax of Elle trying to kill Brian Cox and Not Jared Leto.

You know, I watched my DVR of last week's episode last night and I couldn't help but be reminded that Black Lotus went with the rather odd decision to have the LAPD cops wearing face-concealing helmets and visors, and like- loving why? The entire point of both Blade Runner movies is about humanity and empathy for others, be they humans or our creations, so who the gently caress thought that this show needed faceless, disposable mooks? Doubly so seeing as despite them being faceless, disposable mooks, Elle has made a point of NOT using lethal force against them, even though she had no problem with cutting a dude's hand off in a fight, stabbing another dude in the dick, and setting off a gas explosion that really should have killed more people than it did.

This show is bad, is what I'm saying here.

Yashahime - The 7 pieces of Maerlyn's Rainbow are scattered to the far corners of the Earth before anybody could actually do anything with all of them together, which is probably for the best since I don't think the show ever established what bringing all 7 orbs together would even loving do. Our trio of protagonists then get into a fight with Crispin Freeman that somehow spills over into outer space (???) but then ends with Freeman just sort of going "'aight, I'm out" and leaving with nothing of meaning or importance having been accomplished. Well, except for Setsuna's lifetime insomnia being solved by way of her taking the Long Sleep, AKA being loving dead now.

Man, it's gonna suck when they fill one of the inevitable holes in the schedule later this year with Season 2 of this crap.

Assassination Classroom - Koro-sensei- or, as I prefer to call him, Lemonhead- is a nigh-unstoppable tentaculoid abomination hailing from regions unknown[1] who's already blown up the moon and intends to blow up the Earth at the end of this school year. Lemonhead is ALSO a kind and nurturing educator who only wants the best for his class of students, all of whom happen to be the downtrodden cast-offs and rejects of the proto-fascist dystopia that is the Japanese public education system. It's sort of like Animal House, except instead of John Belushi stealing fake exam answers from the trash we've got Cthulhu's weird cousin leading us on an all-night cram session so we can pass the test normally; and instead of Dean Wormer we've got Vice-Principal Chapman constantly busting our balls just because we're not his preferred Aryan uberstudenten. Also, if the rest of the Deltas don't manage to kill John Belushi by the end of the year, the world explodes and everyone dies. Also, Jim Belushi is maybe wandering around the campus and making the occasional and excessive attempt to kill his (maybe?) brother. Also, Peter Riegert has been replaced by a HAL-9000 in a shopping cart. Also that woman over there can assemble gunplas with her tongue, it- it's weird.

Anyway, when last we left our crass menagerie of weirdos and losers, we had just managed to savagely beat the rear end of our former Phys-Ed. teacher, who had secretly poisoned everyone's Tusker Juice with COVID-19 while we were on spring break at Isla Nublar, right after we got closer than we ever had before to killing Lemonhead once and for all. This all happened, by the way, right after we made Chapman look like a bitch by outscoring everyone else in the school at a big exam (including his own son), which also scored us (by my recollection) the right to make the top class of the school scoop their own eyes out with a mellonballer at our behest (okay actually it was just an agreement that they owe us their rear end for looking like a pack of dipshits, but I still think that's what we should make them do).

The consensus on Moroha is that she's a vastly better protagonist than Setsuna or Ryuko, but that's an extremely hollow pedestal to stand on when the show is obsessed with taking a baseball bat to your kneecaps every time you try to do anything other than sit in the background. I personally think Crispin Freeman's character is better, but that's really just because A) Crispin Freeman, and B) He really doesn't seem to give a poo poo about what the rest of these ding-dongs are up to, which I extremely sympathize with.


*Not "wild" in the way that, like, spending a weekend with Raoul Duke & Dr. Gonzo would have been, but "wild" in the way that a chimpanzee attempting to rip your face/dick off is wild

This is aimed more at the rest of the thread than at Willo who I think has seen at least part of season 2

She's way better than the actual main characters and it's frustrating how the show seemingly resents having her around and tries to write her out of every fight it can.

TRIP REPORT
I had New Years' Celebration soba at the Japan pavilion on Christmas Eve with a little plastic champagne flute of sparkling plum wine. Also like a dozen different holiday foods and cocktails from around World Showcase over the course of the day, but the soba was what I had just eaten right before taking that photo of Spaceship Earth seen through the torii. I also had whiskey-spiked eggnog and fire-roasted chestnuts later while waiting for the fireworks.

Also, I quit my poo poo-rear end job this past Wednesday, so I am like 10-billion-% ready for 2022 to be better than the past two years combined. BRING IT THE gently caress ON

It helps that she actually engages with what's going on, which is more than you can say for Towa and Setsuna who constantly come off as too cool for school. Although the finale didn't help by sidelining everyone until the very end.
