#kuwameshi#give me a sec i'll reblog later with the actual idea but like#WHAT IF UM KUWAMESHI BUT UM. PRINCESS BRIDE AU...#i also have another song fic idea but it's way sillier than the one i have on ao3#based off you me and steve by garfunkel and oates#i got the idea cos i just remembered when yusuke got back from training with genkai the 1st time and instead of a 1 on 1 date with keiko#kuwabara is also? there? and it's just so funny to me like what. and then they're supposed to all 3 go to the movies together?#AND WHEN THEY GET THERE THE 2 BOYS DITCH KEIKO?? for a mission yeah but she doesn't know that!!#and then yusuke and keiko actually go on a date alone and it gets interrupted cos of younger toguro#and shortly after kuwabara shows up so it looks like he was bound to come across them??#as far as a i remember the next time yu and keiko get together alone is the day he tells her to just wait and she's like im literally#not gonna wait for you <3 and it was so funny she just walked off lmaoo#anyway im trying to say i wanna make a silly little fic addressing the fact that keiko is like. pursuing her crush on yusuke#but kuwabara is kinda just. always there and it's fun she does like him but it's just awkward#planning on having her ask kuwa to maybe give her and yusuke some time alone like maybe just avoid their next outing#and kuwa is like oh damn :( ok good luck and yusuke shows up to the date and he's like woah wait. where tf is kuwabara?#keiko is like bruh. and she makes up some shit about him mentioning that he felt sick or wtv and yusuke is like ''then y are we here?#i should check on him. i dont think that guy has even been put outta commission by anything but my fist!'' and keiko just follows him#cos what else can she do. and kuwa is fine ofc and yusuke is like bro what gives i thought you were sick and kuwa is dense sometimes but he#catches on from keiko's desperate look and he's like well i got better *flexes his arm* and yu is like i knew you were too dumb to catch#a cold. and he's stupid happy that kuwa is fine and can come with them after all ''hey he's fine ya hear that keiko''#and then keiko is watching this whole exchange eyes blown wide open and she's like actually i just remembered i have plans#you two should totally go without me tho and yu agrees so easily that it just solidifies that she made the right call#kuwa is looking back at her all confused and she gives HIM the good luck thumbs up. he gets as red as his hair and#yusuke is worried he really is coming down with something

What team Urameshi looks for in a partner 💚💙💜🖤
Yusuke:
So thankfully we already have a blueprint of what he likes
I present to you ✨Keiko Yukimura! ✨
This is the gold standard of what this man wants in his partner
He’s more female leaning buuuut I do get the vibe he’d be open to attempting to date men
He wants someone who isn’t afraid put him in his place when he’s getting out of hand
Someone that could put the fear of god in him with just one look
This dude fights demons on the reg, but the thing that will always scare the piss outta him is the partner he loves with all his soul being legit pissed at him
He also wants someone who’s smarter than him
He knows he’s an idiot, one of them has to be the smart one cuz it sure as hell ain’t this knucklehead 🥴
He won’t appreciate someone who’s controlling so please just let him take that long trip to demon world
He absolutely understands that sometimes asking for his partner to wait over 1 years for him to return is asking so much of a person’s patience but he will always appreciate and love his partner more for dealing with his shit
Once he does stay in one place, all he asks is that they just live life to the fullest everyday for the rest of their lives
Kuwabara:
Ok so like Yusuke, we also have a blueprint for Kuwabara!
✨the lovely Yukina✨
This is the type of person he wants as a lover
He wants someone who’s sweet & caring
Literally his bare minimum is that the person is capable of respect and empathy and has a kind enough soul to help when they can
He understands that they can’t help everyone in all situations
but it’s the drive to want to help everyone that he finds so attractive
He leans more towards preferring women but I have a feeling he’s experiment in his 20s
I don’t think he’d expect/want a combative partner
He’s more than capable of fighting to protect his lover so he’d rather they not fight, or at least not often
Deep down he’s scared to lose his lover because he wasn’t there for them so don’t think it’s because he thinks they’re weak
He absolutely doesn’t think his partner is weak! Ever!
Even if his partner is a healer, he recognizes the strength of heart to stay in a scary situation with a bunch of wounded people around them when they could run and no one would blame them for doing so
If anything he thinks he’s the weak one but wants to prove himself wrong by keeping his partner safe
He just wants that wholesome married life with a lover that loves him just as much as he loves them 😭🙏
Kurama:
Ok
So fox boy here is kinda tricky
Like in ever sense possible
Because he’s very much someone who feels very lax on preferences
Male or female?
Either is fine
Combatant or noncombatant
Either is fine
I think what it comes down to for him is intelligence and a strong bond
The intelligence point can go in either direction though
And I mean to the farthest extreme
Of course he’d like someone just as or even more intelligent than him
He likes having long adult conversations and let’s be honest…it’s not coming from his teammates 🤣
He like puzzles so having to work out how his partner thinks in his big foxy brain is very fun and enriching for him
But he also likes having conversations with people who are…we’ll use the word naive to be polite
Their world view is so innocent and pure and they’re usually very blunt so he’s just always gonna know what they’re thinking, it’s kinda refreshing tbh
What matters at the end of the day is that they’re loyal
He’s betrayed people before and people have betrayed him before
He knows what it’s like to be on both sides and he doesn’t want to cause his partner that kind of pain or be at the receiving end of that pain
Another big one for him is they absolutely, positively, must get along with his mom
And she’s gotta like them back
If they get him mom’s blessing, it’s basically a sealed deal for him
As far as he’s concerned, that’s the day they got married 🤣
If they want him to pull the ring out immediately, they gotta accept that he’s a demon
The moment he tells them about his past as Yoko and they take it super well
✨💍 ✨
Ngl, Yoko might come out to pounce them so fair warning
Also he’s a bit of a cheeky bastard who likes to tease and poke fun at people he’s comfortable with
His partner is no exception to this so he’s like them to have a sense of humor and not take life too seriously
Hiei:
Ooooh this guy
Oh this emotionally stunted gremlin man
Ok so first of all, he has no gender preference
He does not care what’s between your legs, he wants someone strong
Or at least someone capable of protecting themselves in a fight and can spar with him
Imma let y’all know rn that this is not a set rule
If all you have is an unbreakable will and a heart of gold, you have a shot
He will swear up and down that he prefers demons
And to an extent it’s true cuz humans have short lifespans and he doesn’t wanna deal with that
Show him genuine kindness and watch this mf fold like a lawn chair
Humans are usually the ones with the biggest hearts so I guarantee his partner is either gonna be a very kind human or a very kind demon
The bottom line is they just have to show genuine kindness and affection
It’s gonna freak him out but once he gets use to it, he ain’t ever letting go
He’ll cut his tongue out before he says it out loud but he kinda prefers dense, naive people
It’s pretty much the same reason as Kurama’s tbh
He likes blunt people and, in his experience…idiots don’t have filters and are very honest 🤣
He never has to read the mind of someone like that or even consider doubting them cuz they’ll just say what they mean and mean what they say
He kinda respects that
It’s also kinda hot to him
Hiei is moron-sexual confirmed 😂
He does like smart people but his best friend is Kurama…he’s kinda over Kurama’s bs and wouldn’t know how to handle 2 people like him in close proximity
Now if he manages to find a partner that’s a naive sweetheart but has an insane battle IQ
He might actually just pass away
That’s hot to him
They also shouldn’t be pushovers
If he’s being an asshat and barking up a storm, he wants them to bite him to make him tone down his attitude(sometimes literally)
Maybe it’s because he’s just so over how his old “family” treated him when he was a bandit
Maybe it’s the trauma of being rejected by his mother’s people and then getting thrown off a cliff
Maybe it’s the combination of the two
But the bottom line is he needs/wants someone who will love him unconditionally and be kind even when he’s being an asshole

Custom Toonami Block Week 134 Rundown
Spy X Family: Anya and Loid move Yor into the house and don’t notice anything weird about how she has a Dragon Maid level of speed and power in everything she does. It’s kinda funny how Anya is very much portrayed as of her age and isn’t more mature because of her powers but she still had enough mind about her to not accidentally blurt out anyone else’s secrets despite blurting similar things. Anyway the practice interview goes terrible so Loid tries to take them out to do rich people shit so they can say rich people things during the interview but between Anya being a five year old and having an anxiety attack whenever they’re around more than four people and Yor orgasming over anything sharper than a butter knife it’s kind of a rough day. Also they talk about backdating their marriage certificate but like Yor has friends at the tailor’s that know she definitely wasn’t married last week so it feels like this story would fall apart real easily if anyone went digging at all but I guess Yor being as socially awkward as she is at least minimalizes that chance. Anyway after some adorable shenanigans the group use their respective abilities to catch a purse snatcher while not letting the others know of their roles and Loid has an existential crisis about actually getting thanked for helping someone. The day’s experiences help them do marginally better on the interview questions despite Anya still saying she’s gonna murder people so yeah I guess we’re ready.
Inuyasha: So you remember that bit where Inuyasha’s training with the Tessaiga and Totosai gets him to do a lot of chores convincing him it’s training? That’s basically this plot stretched out into an entire episode. Apparently Kagura’s been running around killing monks so the Baby can try and peek at the spiritual border between worlds to get the last jewel shard and Mushin, Miroku’s stepdad thinks he’ll be next and so gets the group to do all his chores and shit thinking he’ll die while the rest of them think he’s deathly ill. It’s a complete waste of time but does kinda lead to some of the best comedy moments of the series with everyone using their powers to do housework and the scene of everyone getting drunk and doing Three Kagome Karaoke and Drunk Sango flirting with Inuyasha always kill me, plus in the end Miroku does seem genuinely happy to spend more time with his father figure reflecting on his own mortality so while it’s ridiculously pointless it’s about as fun as a ridiculously pointless episode can be.
Yu Yu Hakusho: The group re-assess their strategy and get ready to invade Sensui’s place and it’s kinda funny cause they go in with the main three with Seaman as a temporary replacement Kuwabara and they just get kicked back out cause Gamemaster’s like ‘nah bro bring seven’ so they have to go out like twenty minutes later and bring everyone but Botan back in and like there’s absolutely no narrative reason for this to happen it’s just kind of hilariously pedantic. But yeah apparently it’s an RPG-themed game that is oddly anachronistic and just throws a bunch of different game genres in there and it’s the game Yusuke was playing while Kuwabara was out being attacked by Seaman, feel like that would’ve been a neat time for the anime to show a bit more of the game to make the easter egg hit harder but idk. Turns out Yusuke’s a big fan but he kinda sucks and never beat it while Kuwabara, the other nerd guy and Genkai of all people have beaten it a few times. So they rig up their team and first to four wins is the winner and Seaman gets to do his Junior Darby brother fight in Tennis World while Gamemaster chides him for being a little traitor bitch but Seaman’s pretty cool here and manages to pull of a win and is like ‘man I can’t destroy the world because I’m unhappy I have to work on me’ which is pretty chill, really liked that.
Jujutsu Kaisen: It’s time for Nobara’s introduction episode and she’s… kinda hard to get a read on, like she’s an arrogant brat and ridiculously petty but also elegant and confident and seems to kinda switch on a dime so I guess she makes a good intermediary for Yuji and Megumi since she could be on the same page as either of them at any time though she seems closer to Yuji’s goofiness mostly. Gojo throws Yuji and Nobara into the generic ‘random test mook enemy for character development’ house like we got in last week’s Chainsaw Man and we get Nobara’s backstory and are also introduced to the idea that curse beasts like to fuck with humans and just do fucked up shit to force them into sadistic situations. Nobara controls nails and voodoo dolls and fucks up the mooks with an assist from Yuji while reflecting on her reasons for being there. Turns out she grew up in a small town and was sickened by the prejudice the countryfolk showed her big city friend and wanted to literally move away from that small-mindedness and do fun city shit in the process so it’s like a combination of Rika Furude’s Higurahi Gou motivation and Ochako’s initial motivation like half material half symbolic and it looks like a pretty neat dynamic amongst the three of them. Also there’s a glimpse at next week’s enemy where apparently it kills one of the three first years but given that all these guys are still in the opening and I’ve never heard of a Mami Tomoe-style twist for this series I’m thinking there’s probably more to it than that.
Chainsaw Man: Picking up right after we left off with Power drenching a quarter of the city in Devil blood her and Denji are really going at it and only calmed by mutual simping for Makima. They are literally fighting like cats and dogs since Denji has a dog heart and Power likes cats but when Power says he can get to second base for saving her cat he IMMEDIATELY is like ‘fuck man I love cats fuck all my homies that hate cats’ and the next day he signs Power out of the Devil Nursing Home or whatever and they go to find her cat. Turns out it’s a setup and Power made a deal with the Bat Devil who actually is holding her pet cat hostage since she pulled a Misty’s Bike with the cat and claimed she was fattening it up while murdering things a lot bigger and meatier than it to feed it. Power apparently doesn’t understand metaphor and doesn’t get Denji’s part Devil so when the Bat Devil squeezes him like a Capri-Sun to vampire his way back to health he nearly gets sick because yeah Denji just looks like he doesn’t taste good. I’m just kinda confused about the timeline here like Power went from a naked wilderness girl with a cat to… getting clothes, being admitted into Makima’s devil program, being marginally introduced to human culture and society just to get the Bat Devil one human? Like she couldn’t just bonk someone on the head and drag them there? Like I get Makima prolly found her pretty quick and being signed out by Denji is probably the first time she’s not being watched like a hawk since she was found but still that means the Bat Devil just sat and waited for however long all that shit took and actually kept her cat alive for it all when he had no way of knowing how long this would take? Anyway the Bat Devil eats the cat and Power and Denji is kinda running half and half on motivation to save Power because he genuinely empathizes with her and half because boobs, like I feel like Denji kind of has a problem identifying his emotions and just assumes he’s doing things for the most selfish reasons like I don’t want to assign overly noble goals to him because it’s clear he’s a subversion of your normal shonen goodboy but he feels like he’s lying to himself at least a little. Like during the fight with the Bat Devil he claims not to be trying to protect people but also tells every civilian he meets to run away so he’s not ambivalent he just seems to either be lying or at least not willing to let protecting people get in the way of winning and/or boobs. We’re still in that process of excavating Denji’s standards so he may also just not be able to process anything other than his current goal like he’s a video game character with one sidequest slot and it’s currently boobs. Anyway he disembowels the Bat Devil so Power’s prolly fine though who knows for the cat we’ll see, I know from the scene that became a meme a while ago that he does end up feeling her up so it prolly turns out alright.
Ranking of Kings: We started out with Hilling taking a lot of energy to heal Bojji after Daida fucked him up real bad last episode which shows Daida’s whole ‘Bojji will never hold a sword again’ thing was really premature. And after that we just skip to the old king dying like that happened really fast jesus fuck I thought we’d have some more waffling but nope going right for the throat I guess and it leaves the kingdom in the awkward position of deciding which of these twelve year olds is best to oversee their whole kingdom. Though given one of them is deaf, mute and hits like a wet noodle, the peeps kinda have a prejudice towards their other generic teenager. See when the king died and a demon popped out of him and pointed to the kid that’s supposed to be the next king and laughed that was the perfect excuse to go ‘uhhh well maybe we don’t go with him’ so Daida gets to be king and wastes absolutely no time getting down to evil shit and demanding the two guys that voted for Bojji to be king be murdered because he’s a teenager and will do whatever enchanted mirrors tell him to. You see this is why in real life we had King Regents do the king shit until baby kings were old enough to have their balls drop. Meanwhile Kage’s taken away and having an assumed assassin say he’s going to ‘help’ the guy that just got jipped out of being king prolly isn’t a good look so snake assassin dude sends him off on a journey to… do some random shit idk. Bojji even asks the assassin dude’s best friend the two headed hydra snake and hydra snake’s like ‘bro you’re adorable and I love you but I can’t help other than saying he’s gone on a quest and lots of peeps like you’. So with all this on his mind Bojji decides he wants to go on a journey too in order to prove he can do shit without causing embarrassment on a national scale. Hilling is having none of this and forbids it until they both remember what it was like when it was just her and Bojji and even though she’s a stepmom she does love him like a son in her own way and even helped heal the baby hydra snake when it was a baby and it’s really sweet. So Bojji gets to go to visit Hilling’s parents on what’s a glorified red riding hood quest with his sword tutor and the one guy in the whole kingdom that wanted to go and knows sign language so epic quest ahoy!
Vinland Saga: So Floki and Askeladd’s negotiations to kill Thors kinda fall through and Askeladd’s men kill Floki’s hidden assassin so he’s kinda stuck paying double. Askeladd brings up a lot of the questions I had last episode and hypothesizes that Floki wants to kill Thors for personal reasons but wants someone else to do it both so he can keep his hands clean and in case Thors fucks up his entire crew. The day to go to war finally comes and everyone wants Ylva which is understandable because she’s hot as fuck but Leif lets all the homegirls know they’ll be ditching off all the warhungry young boys with Leif’s ship when they get to Norway so Thors is going to war alone so the young men can live. So they set out and turns out Thorfinn is pulling his best Monkey D. Luffy impression and pops out of a barrel which I imagine is gonna be hell on his mom and sister who just have no idea where he is for however long this backstory-generating death journey takes. Thors tells the dude that has the hots for his daughter that having children is what made him not want to fight anymore or at least it was the start of a longer change of character since he was still generic muscle man at that point. The group gets to the Viking equivalent of a truck stop and immediately get ambushed by Askeladd’s group dumping enough wreckage on them to create a miniature dam which feels like it shouldn’t work that smoothly but I’m not a marine physicist. Thors is ready to pacifist run through everyone and punches them without killing but Askeladd obviously has some weird power people on his crew and like a dozen archers above them so this is gonna be trouble.

Custom Toonami Block Week 103 Rundown
Inuyasha: Our next foray into the Band of Seven, this time with Mukotsu’s poison splitting up the group into Inuyasha going after Jakotsu and Kagome and the others getting ambushed by Mukotsu. Mukotsu’s always been kind of the most boring member of the Band of Seven to me, though he does dust off an old classic “weird feudal guy wants to marry Kagome” which happened a lot more often in the early arcs. I kind of like how as the most perverted members of the Band, he and Jakotsu evenly divide the men and women they want to stalk, even though this guy is one of the least personable it’s kinda fun you can still see how he fits into the Band since sometimes with villain groups they just have that one guy they kill before the group’s together that you couldn’t really imagine fitting in at all (which I guess is Kyokotsu in this case but still). Mukotsu poisons all the normal humans and Kirara so it’s up to Shippo of all people to go break up Jakotsu and Inuyasha’s fight so he can get help which it is kind of hilarious since the Band of Seven are just powered-up humans that they can get stopped by shit like Shippo’s mushrooms but it makes them hard to take seriously as a threat before they get buffed in the later parts, though to be fair they are more trying to get info out of them than kill them at this point. Sesshomaru shows up looking for Kohaku because Naraku’s AWOL so looking for his zombie ninja boyslave is the next best thing (it does kinda foreshadow Kohaku traveling with Sesshomaru well since he’s got a good connection to him) and Sesshomaru is basically like “What’s your name? *SLICE*” and has no idea who Mukotsu is but is immune to all poisons so all this does is annoy him really so he kills him for not being receptive to his interrogation, which Mukotsu says Naraku only told them about Inuyasha and Koga so I’m just wondering why no one told them about Sesshomaru like jesus guys. Inuyasha shows up and is like “Wow Sesshomaru you killed a member of the Band of Seven!” and Sesshomaru’s just like “I did who to a what now?” because slicing up some rando that gets in his way is just Tuesday for him. So yeah we’re down to Band of Seven members now, everyone except Inuyasha and Shippo are dying from poison and Renkotsu is having a meeting with Jakotsu about who’s more fuckable between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, so bad times all around.
Yu Yu Hakusho: (I’m writing this a week later because the block got interrupted last week and this is the only one I didn’t get to write for before I stopped) so it’s another Genkai fight, two back to back is a little much given how weird her fighting style is and how like Hiei her fights revolve around her being in control for the most part (though Hiei tends to be in control power-wise, Genkai usually remains in control tactically) and Toguro’s like “Oh boy Genkai’s gonna die before the finals” and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen or at least it doesn’t stick but turns out the old man she’s fighting is… Discount Hisoka, like it’s legit a clown that’s a Hisoka/Piedmon ripoff that just hates old people so much he decided to wear the skin of an old dude to make himself really angry while fighting… gotta say, didn’t see that coming. In fact anyone that DID see that coming you are a fucking madman because whose brain works like that. But yeah after briefly teleporting Kuwabara away with the same gag that got him the first time, Genkai gets to fight clown man and they make a show of how batshit this dude is and he’s one of those peacocking dudes that talks about how gorgeous he is and battle is beautiful and all that shit and he’s in the Rando camp that has a million techniques but since Genkai says she only needs her fists to beat him he decides to throw his brain out the window and only use fists too and gets absolutely fucking wrecked when Genkai steals Goku’s finishing move from fighting Nappa, like holy shit this fight was disappointing, I get the feeling Togashi wanted to get to the finals already but this is the second round in the tournament where we have the ‘this guy was the real leader’ fight and it ends up being really underwhelming because the arc’s momentum has already passed, same thing happened with Kuwabara and the ninja leader since that fight felt rushed as fuck after the epic Yusuke vs Jin fight. For the team right before Toguro these guys were kinda trash, like it’s fitting their leader was secretly a clown because they all kinda got clowned, Hiei got the one-shot fight to start off, then Kuro Momotaro was probably the best fight of the bunch and that ended with a ‘I can win but it’s against my aesethetic’ which cheapened the darkness dragon but was still admittedly dope, seeing Yoko Kurama was really cool but that was less a fight and more of an interrogation and his own team killed him before he could spill the beans on… their leader being a clown I guess? But that was found out real quick anyway so idk what that was about,then Shishi’s fight was pretty cool aesthetically but Genkai dunked on him so hard with an asspull move it was kind of anticlimactic and then she did the same thing with Clown Boy and that was REALLY anticlimactic, doing a whole round without your main character was pretty ambitious but given a lot of their movesets are very weird and mysterious it makes things hard to discern sometimes. But now it’s onto the finals and Yusuke will wake up soon hopefully.
Fate Extra: So Nero starts this episode by saying she basically hasn’t understood any of this series but is especially confused and I gotta say fucking mood, like this is the most confusing Fate series yet and that’s saying something. They’re in a snowstorm that looks like the Painted World of Dark Souls 3 and like Dark Souls 3 has an infinite number of zombie people murdering each other over and over for something that stopped mattering centuries ago. Also the zombies are Rani and Rin and it makes more sense when they get to the Epcot Center dome and Hologram Rani and Rin give them the Disney Ride tour of their tragic backstory where they were both basically semifinalists so the Moon decided to have a tiebreaker but was also running out of power so made them living batteries to generate clones to fight forever and because it’s a dying computer on the fucking moon it’s like ‘Man I can’t decide, just have Waifu Wars forever, it’ll be fine” and also looked like they fused with their servants because it looks like Rin got Cu’s weapon and Rani got Lu Bu or something and the Rin that Hakuno was with was one of the clones that… gained sentience I guess because the other clones don’t seem very talkative and she dies after delivering Hakuno to the Epcot orb but the real Rani and Rin are still in their The Matrix coffins powering the whole floor and they give Hakuno one of those Batman Forever choices about who to save and who to kill and he picks Rin but also tries to save Rani and the Moon is just like “Oh no you don’t” and kills Rani anyway because she’s less marketable than Rin and I guess Rin just knows what all of her clones were doing because she remembers Hakuno so having the scene where her clone that is the Rin that we saw up till now die is just fucking nothing and come to think of it Rani dying is less impactful because we already killed her on the second floor too. Basically what I’m saying is we have two waifus and both of them have been killed off for shock factor so often it’s lost all meaning. I like that they actually make Hakuno choose and stick with it because even though he tried to save both he did pick Rin first because normally with shonen bullshit they’ll find a way to save both or make the choice irrelevant but here it seems like some sort of Resident Evil VII choice for the late game. But anyway Rin promises Rani that she’s gonna be a good little tutorial ghost for Hakuno going into the final boss battle so that’s fine I guess.
Bakemonogatari: Araragi is on top of the world after his date with Hitagi actually went well and he celebrates by… groping a loli, okay it’s Mayoi but still he deserves to get bit, I swear the loli shit in this series is the only bit that really annoys me. Anyway Mayoi tells him about seeing Shinobu at a random shop on her own and she may be up to something given we know she’s a lolified headmistress vampire that’s probably bad. Meanwhile Hanekawa calls him to ditch school to help her with her cat problem and Hitagi has a fun little exchange about her voice actress being really good to imitate Araragi’s voice. So Hanekawa and Araragi shoot the shit for a while before we get to the meat of the issue in that Hanekawa has fucking cat ears now, we get a cute little callback to earlier in the conversation that if he asks her to strip while she’s wearing skimpy pajamas she’ll get mad and she’ll also get mad if he asks her to take off her hat to show him the ears but he’s not willing to push the perverted joke but he doubles down on seeing the ears so he can at least say he did the base level research before handing it off to Oshino because he’s been thinking about what he said a few episodes ago that Oshino won’t always be there to clean up their apparition problems. Hanekawa also mentions that she thinks Araragi has Vampire Hypnotism powers and that’s why he’s suddenly a harem protagonist and the screen lists her name along with his harem to really hammer home that she has a crush on him in case anyone didn’t get the memo yet even though he doesn’t quite get it. They get to Oshino’s place and he knocks her the fuck out and seems to know everything him and Hanekawa already discussed and is like “Okay, exposition’s done, let’s get in some catgirl fanservice” and summons Black Hanekawa, this seems like it’ll be fun since Black Hanekawa seems to be everyone’s favorite character for what I assume are mostly horny reasons but maybe there’s more to it too so we’ll see what the last two episodes hold.
Sailor Moon Crystal: Chibi-Usa is sent to the Shadow Realm and instead of hooking her up to Life Support Machines Mamoru’s like ‘fuck it, I’mma Destiny Bond her’ which successfully gets him out of the climax action but also he somehow knows everything that’s going on with Sailor Moon’s group, idk Sailor Magic is a weird power system because sometimes it seems like all they can do is the 2-3 attacks they already have animations for and other times they just do random magic that makes it seem like they have wider movesets so the limits on what they can do are really unclear. Anyway they storm Mugen Academy for like the fifth time this season and are immediately trapped in separate dreams by the dead spirits of the Slutty Winx Club fodder villains from this season and I kinda like this because it’s tailored to each Guardian about what their fears are and what their hobbies are so it’s like “You’ve given your autonomy to Sailor Moon and sacrificed chunks of your personality to being the girls that throw attacks that don’t work at things” which is true, that’s actually a good dilemma because the secondary Guardians are kind of really underdeveloped outside their intros and like one spotlight episode each. Of course nothing comes of this and Sailor Moon buts herself and everyone else out of the dreams right away, I was gearing up for separate fights for each Guardian to let them actually do something for once but what is Secondary Character Autonomy anyway, they’re basically cheerleaders for Sailor Moon to Heart Kamehameha people to death. Also everyone makes up with the Outer Guardians because they came to help break them out and I dunno I don’t think that was ever really the issue, the issue was the Outer Guardians were cool with killing Hotaru and the Inner weren’t, it wasn’t that they hated each other and wanted each other to die, if anything the Inner Guardians have warmed up to killing Hotaru since they said that’s how they get Chibi-Usa out of the Shadow Realm but they all hug and everyone’s friends again so I guess problem solved. They all do the Spirit Bomb cup thing and Sailor Moon goes Super Saiyan which I still don’t know what that does, like the outfit looks cool but you basically swap from one heart-based energy beam that kills everyone in one hit to a slightly different heart-based beam that kills everyone in one hit. Anyway said heart-based beam kills the Transformed Slutty Winx Club leader so now it’s just Not!Black Lady Hotaru, her dad Ryuken Ishida with eyepatch glasses, and the giant blob of darkness from space for the season. Also Evil Hotaru just kinda eats Chibi-Usa’s Silver Crystal and apparently Chibi-Usa’s soul is still powering it even though it’s not attached to her anymore and Evil Hotaru seems to be really into eating rocks but I’m not gonna kinkshame.
Durararax2: This one’s a Varona episode which is nice because she’s probably my favorite x2 character thus far and she’s been through a lot of shit in the past couple episodes. We start out with a bunch of rumors about Shizuo going around that range from slightly off base to wildly untrue and flash back to Varona getting taken to Russia Sushi around the time Seiji and Mika were there a few episodes ago and she’s understandably pissed about them kneecapping Sloan (Mika also mentioned Izaya was more interested in Sloan than Varona so there’s prolly something going on with him) but they put a pin in that and hire her at Russia Sushi to cool her head and keep the Russian Mob in touch with her, though given Varona has the emotional pleasantness of a dried piece of driftwood and has been through several traumas and it suqestioning her existence she doesn’t exactly work well for a customer-facing job. Shizuo and Tom come by and just kinda recruit her for their group (which was spoiled by the OP but it’s still cool) it’s pretty nice, seeing her Living Wikipedia Page brain mesh with Tom and Shizuo’s laid back bro approach and she’s able to beat people up without the place looking like a nuke went off because she’s more Liam Neeson action star powerful instead of “basically Saitama if he was just some dude” like Shizuo. Akane also is still trying to kill Shizuo because… idk, girl’s a mob princess murder must be a way of showing her love, like she knows she’s probably being lied to about Shizuo being evil and seems to like him but she still wants to get strong enough to kill him so she signs up at the Orihara Twins’ dojo and I’m just wondering how good a nine year old girl has to get at karate to take down a demigod like Shizuo but she’s working on it, it’s cute. Varona also wants to kill Shizuo because she wants to know the limits of the human body because she craves knowledge and Shizuo is basically ‘limits of the human body’ incarnate. So now Shizuo has himself a murder harem, I swear I’d watch a harem anime about all the waifus trying to kill the same dude over a regular harem any day. But it’s always cool seeing Shizuo be chill and try to function like a normal adult and Varona adds a good few layers to that dynamic so I’m liking it so far, think she got over Sloan a bit fast but I guess there’s not much she can do for him at the moment anyway.

So apparently the Yu Yu Hakusho OVA has been out for months.
Watching it, it looks like the closeups are pretty nice. The artstyle is clean and modern, but still looks faithful to the original. Characters do go off model a lot in the wide shots though. Hiei especially suffers from having wonky proportions that make him way taller than he’s supposed to be and his face and hair can get pretty QUALITY sometimes.
It’s really nice to see fight scenes animated with a budget and modern choreography. No screaming attacks or cheating with still/slow-mo closeup shots with speed lines, just smooth, fast, realistic action like you’d see in Avatar.
It’s amazing how Hiei’s VA hasn’t aged. There’s a moment where he screams and it sounds EXACTLY like one of Link’s stock screams of Ocarina of Time. I’d almost swear they ripped the audio file as an in-joke.
Kurama’s rocking that pink sweater.
I like that the gang’s mission is a real mission and not just another tournament or another maze-castle thing where it’s just a bunch of one-on-one fights occasionally broken up by some hazards. They’re actually using their brains and not just brute-forcing their way though the situation.
Kurama’s parrot plants were cute. It’s always nice to see what fun new plants he can whip up to service the mission. He’s like the team’s gadget guy.
Wait, everyone else is just using normal attacks on these dudes who are never implied to be particularly powerful and Hiei’s whipping out the Dragon of the Darkness Flame? That’s like bringing a nuke to a bb-gun battle.
The evacuation scene is kinda weird. We get two clips of Kuwabara running, one where he meets some guy I don’t recognize and then another where he finds his friends, but we don’t see him find Shizuru. Then we have a clip of Atsuko, Keiko, and Yukina running away with Yusuke’s body. And then there’s Kurama with his mom and step-dad (his step-brother is conspicuously absent) looking pretty casual. Like, he didn’t want to alarm them, so instead of coming to them with any kind of urgency he was like “You wanna get some ice cream? I know a great place that’s just a quick 45 minute drive to the next town over.”
Looks like Hiei decided to stay by Yusuke along with Koenma.
Since when can Genkai possess Puu? Also, when exactly does this take place? Because in the original finale Yusuke stayed in demon world until the end of Kuwabara and Keiko’s senior year. So, are they all adults now? Are Yusuke and Keiko married? Is Kuwabara in college? Genkai wasn’t even dead in the finale, but are they implying she’s dead now by having her possess Puu?
Who the hell is driving? Is that Kurama’s stepdad? If, so where’s his mom? It definitely doesn’t look like Shizuru.
What the fuck? It just ends on a cliffhanger? Is there another part coming out or is that it?

Binge-Watching: Yu Yu Hakusho, Day 4, Episodes 22-24
In which I knock out a few more episodes by the end of the day, and... yeah, I’m not really feeling this arc, sorry. But it looks like things are about to get a lot more interesting, so there’s that!
Dated in a Bad Way
I’ve talked a little before about the interesting experience of watching Yu Yu Hakusho as a time capsule from a pre-Evangelion era, an anime that moves on a slightly different wavelength than most stuff I’ve seen. At the time, it was a neutral observation, no more positive or negative then my personal preferences. Unfortunately, it’s in this arc, where Yusuke and Kuwabara team up to rescue a captured ice spirit that happens to be Hiei’s sister, that this story really starts to feel dated in some truly unfortunate ways.
The thing is, I just don’t buy Kuwabara’s sudden all-consuming crush on the spirit. I know it’s treated as a joke and everyone makes fun of him for it, but the best jokes come from previously established character dynamics, and this feels really out of left field for him. Yeah, he had a crush on Botan, but that was just part of his interactions with the world. He didn’t suddenly drop everything and rush to help her, spending pretty much every non-combat line of dialogue talking about her, when she was facing trouble from the zombies last time around. It feels disingenuous and lazy, especially when it doesn’t really feel like Kuwabara should need a reason to get involved with Yusuke’s spirit detective shenanigans. They fought, bled, and bonded together fighting the Saint Beasts, and while I appreciate the slow character progression the show it going for, I’d think Kuwabara would’ve grown enough by now to at least begrudgingly tag along, especially if Botan really tried to persuade him.
I consider this dated because it reminds me of bad episodes of old cartoons, where a female character shows up for one episode to be crushed on by one specific male character and vanish once it’s over, only stretched over an entire arc this time. It’s lazy, barebones Sat AM cartoon writing from a show and an artist that are so much better than that, and when so much of Kuwabara’s presence in these episodes is just him lusting after a fairy, it really starts to drag the proceedings down. Perhaps it might’ve been more palatable if our damsel in question were more than a caged Disney princess who cried at the death of birds, but sadly, the admirable agency afforded to Botan and Keiko was not extended to her.
Beyond that, though, there’s the incredibly uncomfortable fight with the Triad member who turns out to be intersex, and I just... ugh. I’m far from the last word on gender-related issues, but the way the guys treated them, alternatively objectifying her when they thought they were a woman, being disgusted when they thought they were a man, and the constant sexual assault on them passed of as “Komedy”, I just felt sick. Yeah, it’s maybe a product of the time period, but that shouldn’t be an excuse to justify it. And it wasn’t just one or two “jokes”, it was a whole fight scene of this squicky nonsense. Ick.
So yeah, so far, this arc has failed to really grab my interest, and parts of it just kinda repulse me overall. But every cloud has a silver lining, and there are signs that more interesting things are about to take center stage.
Hiei’s Secrets
Hiei’s a character who’s always played things close to the chest, so its notable that we’re finally starting to find stuff out about him, even if its mostly implied so far. We get brief flashbacks of his watching his sister when they were kids, and his decision to get his Third Eye grafted onto him. Not much has been revealed beyond these tidbits, but there’s a real intrigue here. It’s clear he cares about his sister- after all, he’s trying to rescue her- but in what way? What was their relationship like before, and what’s it like now? Does he feel any sense of shame? It seemed like he was hiding from her in the flashback. Does he consider himself not worthy of her in some way? Was his Third Eye some attempt to make things right with her, or help her in some way?
I don’t have the answers yet, but just the wondering is fascinating enough. Hiei intrigues me greatly, and I look forward to when his secrets are revealed.
The Toguro Brothers
One thing I know about Yu Yu Hakusho that I haven’t mention before is that there was a guy with sunglasses, and he’s Bad News Bear. So when the Toguro brothers stepped off the plane and I saw what the big one was wearing, I had a little “oh shit” moment. Things, it seems, are about to get very real.
Toguro Senior is already a fascinating character, a kind of bounty hunter for hire who nevertheless lives by his own moral code; a very Togashi creation if there ever was one. He hates shedding blood needlessly, and he seems to have a lot of respect for the people (and poor science experiments) he fights. He’s also absurdly strong, to the point where I legitimately wonder if Yusuke and his friends can beat him just yet. Their fight begins next episode, and I am fascinated to see how it turns out.
Odds and Ends
-Botan, why the heck did you not tell Keiko her everything? Rude.
-Okay, I can’t stay mad at you. You’re too damn cute.
-asdkjadsh WHY ARE YOU MGM KOENMA
-I agree, Kuwabara, that guy’s too ugly to be human.
-Woah, hi, Kuwabara’s sister! Lots of sisters this arc. And I guess you’ve got some spiritual awareness too, interesting...
-The weird thing is, before that one fight just completely went to shit, Yusuke was actually being a lot more respectful of her than Kuwabara. She’s a fighter, treat her like one. Reminds me of that one fight from Mob Psycho 100.
-Good teamwork, boys!
And with that, we’re done for the day. Hopefully next time this arc can pull itself out of the dumps. See you then!

Hiei

This episode is alternatively titled: How to Score an Unpaid Internship that Might Cost You Your Life.
Episode 5: Yusuke’s Back
Wow that episode title leaves a lot to imagination. So, basically, if I was watching this for the first time ever, I would know what was happening. YYH does this a lot, and I’m always just sitting here, like, thanks. I have no idea what’s going to happen.
Episode 5 wraps up our Ghost!Yusuke arc. Today’s the day that Yusuke comes back to life for REAL. First, though, someone has to donate their spirit energy, so that Yusuke’s spirit/physical energy realigns… or something along those lines (honestly, I always tune out fake logistics like this).But it has to be tonight at midnight, or else Yusuke will have to wait 52 more years to come back. Oh, and it has to be done through a kiss which Yusuke freaks out over. Jeez, this boy is just not a huge fan of physical/romantic/platonic contact…
In order to get someone to kiss him, he has to visit three people’s dreams. Like the first time he visited their dreams, this does not go well. Atsuko per usual is drinking:
And then there’s Kuwabara. And… well…
And so launched 1000 ships.
In any case, Keiko is his only hope. After a bit of drama, where it looks like Keiko’s not going to make it back to Yusuke’s house because her mother collapsed, she finds her way back. And, as they say, the rest is history.
So, Yusuke makes a cheery recovery from the dead. And, apparently with this recovery comes even worse fashion choices.
#iconic
Things get weird though, as Yusuke stumbles upon a fortune teller. And, oh boy, WHO COULD IT BE?
Nope, not a clue. It’s a mystery.
The fortune teller says that he has “interesting energy” and a “mission” to complete. In true Yusuke fashion, though, he ignores it, and heads to a cafe for some coffee. A boy after my own heart.
But Yusuke has a knack for finding trouble. The cafe, apparently, has been taken over by another gang, even though it used to be part of Kuwabara’s turf. Yusuke decides to go in anyway, where the new gang leader and his crew are sitting. He ignores them, and grabs his coffee anyway. But something is off: the gang leader has horns. Which, oddly, Yusuke decides not to care about. I guess coming back from the dead makes everything else ordinary.
Through the gang’s conversation, we learn that the leader, Sakamoto, has kidnapped Kuwabara’s cat, and is forcing him to steal comics. When Kuwabara appears though, it’s quickly revealed he didn’t steal the comics at all–as Yusuke mentioned, that’s against his honor code.
Sakamoto is not happy with this. He demands that Kuwabara apologizes to him, and then decides they’re going to take this outside (even evil thugs are willing to protect the sanctity of the coffee shop). Outside, the gang threatens Kuwabara’s friends and cat. Just when we think all is lost– Yusuke steps in and surprises them.
With his hair gelled again, no less. Was he in the coffee shop styling his hair before he came to the rescue?
One quick fight sequence later, the boys beat up the gang, get Kuwabara’s cat back, and it’s revealed that there’s actually a parasitic demon possessing Sakamoto! When Yusuke knocks him unconscious, the demon appears and Yusuke captures him easily.
The fortuneteller comes back as well, and it’s revealed that she is oh so surprisingly actually Botan! Botan thanks Yusuke for all his help, and tells him that his first case is a success. Oh, and by the way, he’s now officially the Spirit Detective. And no, he cannot turn down the position. And no, it’s not paid. Yay!?
The second part of this episode is much more fun that the first. The actual revival scene is rather a bore, since we all know that he’s coming back. Especially after rewatch number twenty, I’m no longer that interested in the scene. Atsuko, again, does not fail to make me sad with her drinking streak, even though it’s played completely for laughs. Luckily, they keep the revival tension very short, and quickly move on to the more interesting part.
The second half of the episode contains much more of what we come to love in YYH. In a lot of ways, I think this episode marks the true beginning of YYH as we will know it in the future: aka demons, one-liners, fighting, and Yusuke and Kuwabara pretending they’re not friends. It’s action packed, urgent, and most importantly, punchy with its humor.
Our Glasses honcho is a great starter villain and really raises the stakes by threatening not only Kuwabara’s kitten, but his friends. Again, this reinforces our main FriendshipTM theme, and foreshadows a lot of the future battles. It’s also interesting to contrast our first demon with the later demons we get. This one is tiny and parasitic in nature, possessing humans for its own personal chaos. As the series goes on, demons go from these odd alien creatures to more exact human copies, which we’ll discuss more in the next few episodes.
We get some weird inconsistencies with later mythology from the set-up of Yusuke’s powers as Koenma says, “You’ll get cool powers, I’ve come up with them myself.” It brings into question where exactly Spirit Energy comes from. Are humans born with a certain amount of Spirit Energy, or are they gifted with it? For now, I’m just filing that aside as weird beginning series talk, similar to Hiei’s demonic form and telepathy that we don’t ever get to see again.
Animation wise, I’m pretty happy with the one fight scene we get. It’s not extravagant, but I always enjoy Yusuke’s dramatic entrance.
My Dark!Koenma theory lives on though! “Let’s see how our little Yusuke fares when he’s not floating in the sky,” he says. OKAY, KOENMA. CAN YOU TALK MORE LIKE AN EVIL VILLAIN? Not to mention, he made Yusuke’s Spirit Detective position mandatory, despite the fact that he never mentioned it as part of the deal when he brought Yusuke back to life. No wonder Yusuke spends the rest of the series trying to ignore Koenma’s orders. He’s just an unpaid intern being forced to do entry-level work. I feel your pain Yusuke, I do.
Final thoughts:
Favorite line of the episode goes to Yusuke: “I can talk trash to people and even touch them. To be alive is a wonderful thing!”
And we can’t forget: “Hey! That guy has horns. Well, not going to ruin my day.” Oh Yusuke. You idiot.
Kuwabara’s love of kittens raises my respect from him 1000%
Yusuke’s outfit here will always remain forever in my heart
I’m weirdly fascinated by the high school gang wars. Kinda wish there had been a larger side arc with that.
Pay Yusuke Urameshi For Saving the World 2018! Even Naruto got paid for his missions!
TL;DR: Though the beginning of this episode lacks rewatch value, the second half makes up for it with its on point humor and characterization. It’s the perfect closure to our first arc.

Custom Toonami Block Week 113 Rundown
Kaguya-sama: Love is War: So we get the traditional ‘character that hasn’t shown up for half the series but is in the OP so we know it’s coming’ intro which seems to be an oddly common thing for slice of life anime nowadays. Yu Ishigami is fun, his manic paranoia adds some energy to scenes that are basically Romantic Death Note and his hyper awareness of social cues makes up for everyone else’s total blindness to them. He’s in trouble because he can accurately tell that Kaguya can and will murder someone at the drop of a hat and has definitely had assassination training so every time he thinks about her we get a Higurashi-inspired Rena aesthetic which is just a fun Halloween look so good timing on this episode. Then there’s a bunch of bullshit internet questions that don’t amount to much except Kaguya KOing herself with the final answer and Yu thinking he has a thing for yanderes. The last segment confused me at first because Maid Lady is apparently going to the same school as Kaguya but ninjas her way out of any of the other council members ever seeing her so they don’t know she’s there so at first I thought she was like in her early twenties so I assumed she was undercover as a high schooler and acting in a deep cover as a gyaru with her own friend group to protect Kaguya but apparently she just… goes to the school and is ordered never to interact with Kaguya which is way less cool and obtuse than what I was thinking. Anyway they do Kaguya’s nails and the rest of the segment is just a ‘will he notice the change’ deal and he does instantly but he has a little monologue about treading the line between trying to be nice and compliment people without making them think you have an overinflated right to comment on their physical appearance which hit a little too close to home for anybody that’s socially awkward because geez that’s a hard thing to figure out. Anyway things are romantically inconclusive as always but this episode was fun overall.
Inuyasha: It’s time for Koga’s spotlight episode and I always appreciate when we get some time for the side characters to have a serious fight. Renkotsu and Ginkotsu are standing just behind the barrier on Mt. Hakurei ready to snipe Koga with Ginkotsu’s cannons and they get his legs enough to slow him down before retreating behind the barrier and spawncamping him. Also Miroku has a sideplot about being determined to grab Sango’s butt despite the barrier purifying his lewd thoughts and forcing him to respect women, it doesn’t come to anything but it’s like a third of the episode and pretty funny so I thought I’d mention it. Koga pulls a Naruto and pops out of the ground when they think he’s dead and traps them on the outside of the barrier, slashing Renkotsu and stuffing his armor into Ginkotsu’s cannons to make him blow up. Now in the manga this is how Ginkotsu dies but in the anime they extend the fight a bit which is funny because Koga even says ‘You shouldn’t be alive’ after the explosion and they just have Ginkotsu’s cannons explode and give him MORE fuck off cannons that root him to the ground but basically make him the Gundam Heavyarms and also let him shoot his torso at Koga. Since Koga’s the master of dodging this isn’t too much of a problem but Ginkotsu self-detonates and gives Renkotsu his jewel shard. Overall this is probably THE Koga fight and gives him two Band of Seven kills which is pretty decent, always love me some Koga.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Elder Toguro completes the cycle of “Kuwabara’s about to be slammed into the ground but it’s a cliffhanger” by… slamming Kuwabara into the ground, kinda anticlimactic really. Still Kuwabara’s basically a Jedi at this point and is able to call his Spirit Hilt to him and chop up Toguro on the way. Luckily not only can the guy not die but he legit cannot shut up and Kuwabara gets angry enough to just make his sword into a giant fly swatter to dice Toguro before he can play musical chairs with his organs and wins the match. Sakyo tells everyone that if Yusuke win’s the final match he’ll let himself die if Koenma will do the same making the last big worth double points which if Yusuke won they wouldn’t need another win anyway because it’d be 3-1 but if the other dude is betting his life on the match you don’t wanna look like a bitch so Koenma agrees since if Toguro wins Koenma’s definitely gonna lose anyway so it really doesn’t change anything it just makes things more dramatic so the two joke characters don’t have to decide things if the bad guy wins. Sakyo goes on for a bit to Toguro about how he’s insane and just wants to bet and kill and shit and Setsuna’s like ‘awww poor just wants to torture animals and bet on people killing each other’. Anyway the final match is here and… Elder Toguro is back and he pulled a Mayuri Kurotsuchi and did emergency liquification to… bump the betting odds in Yusuke’s team’s favor? Like Sakyo mentions this too that Yusuke’s teams’ odds are now better than Toguro’s as far as the betting pool but like it’s not like Team Toguro was pulling any punches and Elder Toguro sure looked like he was trying to win that fight so idk how much bullshit this is supposed to be or if it’s an ‘even when we lose we win’ type deal. Anyway Elder Toguro still can’t shut the fuck up and offers to turn into a weapon for Younger Toguro while talking about what a slut Genkai was (his actual words) and Younger Bro is just like ‘you know what dude shut the fuck up’ and legit kicks him into a slushie and says he’s gonna have a fair fight against Yusuke. Like idk how legal Elder Toguro being a weapon for Younger in this fight would’ve been anyway but then again Sakyo literally is the rules committee at this point so who knows.
Fate/Apocrypha: We get the bulk of Mordred’s backstory which is basically how she loved Artoria until she found out she was her dad and then was like ‘I hate you dad’ because that’s what people do in Fate is hate their dads. And then something something Camland everyone’s dead. Everyone’s like ‘hey Assassin’s acting pretty sus’ and go out to fuck her up. Astolfo’s Master is just sitting in her underwear dismembering puppets, as one does and has resolved herself to save all her Command Seals for the purposes of femdom pegging Astolfo which, I get it, but also, eww. Fran’s Master decides to not take her with him to go check out the Jack the Ripper situation because… reasons I guess, like they say he can call her with a Command Seal if needed but like just bring her, one Servant isn’t gonna matter when you have 4-5 others as well as an army of golems defending the castle. Anyway Mordred and Jack fight but Chiron interrupts them and his Master turns into Doc Ock to fuck with Lion guy while Chiron proves that Gilgamesh isn’t the rule for Archers sucking at close range and just judo flips Mordred which I guess is enough to hurt her somehow despite most Servants being able to tank anything short of orbital bombardment but I guess if you hit the ground pretty hard that’s bad too.
Nisemonogatari: We thankfully skip over the incest kiss and cut to Kiyomi having taken half of Karen’s deadly bee virus. Having been slapped with the respect women stick by having shit go down with his sister, he meets Mayoi and doesn’t sexually assault her for once which makes the little girl even wonder if he’s the same fucking person which is harsh. Their conversation doesn’t go much of anywhere except the ‘my sisters are doing stupid shit and don’t have the vampire powers to back it up like I do so they’re foolish children’ thing we’ve been doing for the past three episodes. Eventually he arrives at Hitagi’s house and is like ‘Why are you hand-sharpening a hundred pencils like you’re on your way to stab the shit out of someone?’ and she’s like ‘Because I’m on my way to stab the shit out of someone, duh’ and they agree to confront Kaiki together on one condition that Hitagi will name later which she all but says is just for dramatic tension. Kiyomi gets home and Karen is gone, guess we should’ve let her suffer under the full virus a little longer so she wasn’t well enough to bail, this is why you get for solving your problems with incest. Tsukihi doesn’t know where Kaiki’s place is to track Karen but Karen might be heading there so Kiyomi has to track her down before she fucks up the meeting Hitagi has with him in a few hours. He calls Shinobu out who says she’s going to help him in the most tsundere way possible and they get a read on her position.
Speed Grapher: We resume our program of a naked diamond lady invading a drag queen strip club to capture a teenage girl that grants billionaires super powers… god this show is weird. The girls do their best to hold her off while Kagura and Saiga escape and obviously because she’s made of diamonds camera explosions don’t work on her. They duck out through a blowjob factory and there’s a high speed chase through the city that ends with Diamond Lady Koganei stabbing her hand through both Saiga’s motorcycle and Saiga himself like three times and taking off with Kagura. We learn that Euphorics basically have a decent healing factor as Suitengu’s already recovered from Kagura’s mom blowing his kneecaps out and Saiga’s more or less shrugging off multiple stabbings after a few hours and a good meal. Saiga holds the Bloodhound guy and his goons at camera-point to get them to tell him where Koganei took Kagura. Koganei calls Bloodhound dude and tells him she’s ransoming Kagura off for crates of diamonds instead of the shit they promised her and Saiga gets the address for Koganei’s mansion from them while Bloodhound boi is ready to let his enemies fight to the death and pick off the winner. Saiga goes to his camera guy to get a meal and heal up as well as a new camera while Koganei tells Kagura her backstory. Basically her husband was a rich simp that gave her diamonds all the time because she was a gold digger and eventually took out an insurance policy on himself and died to use that money for more diamonds and she feels bad about that and basically became a diamond-consuming monster after kissing Kagura to manifest the all-consuming lust for jewels she feels killed her husband as her jaded form of punishment on herself. Saiga shows up and she gets him to drop his camera but he pulls out spray pain to act as ‘focus points’ and hit her with a couple quick shots with the camera since the paint clouds the diamond and lets the impact of the explosion hit her head on, knocking her around a bit and breaking off one of her arms. They make a break for it while she’s down and Suitengu shows up and kills her with his weird hand tattoo thing which if he had that why did she ever think she could just ransom Kagura to them? He says he’s going to sell the broken bits of her diamond body to profit off her betrayal so they’re legit selling a diamond-encrusted corpse and that’s pretty dark. Kagura’s kind of having an existential crisis that her kisses turn people into monsters and wants to know what the fuck’s going on with that and so we’ll probably look into that next episode.
Durararax2: We start with Chikage coming to visit Kadota in the hospital after they bonded over beating the shit out of each other and now he’s in on the ‘fuck up whoever ran over Dota-chin’ club, which is of course the best club to be in. Izaya also goes to the hospital to get his head examined (fucking finally) after getting knocked around because one of his henchmen is very insistent about it, though this does give him a good chance to fuck with Anri who was there to tell Erika all about her Saika powers. Izaya goes on for a bit about how he’s gonna make sure Masaomi and Mikado kill each other in this gang war and Anri debates just using Saika on him to stop it but knows it could just all be part of his plan and she may not be able to stop herself if she uses Saika in hatred like that. Meanwhile now that her puppeteer boss is dead, Kujiragi does what any mastermind villain would do… buys out the party store’s supply of cat ear headbands and heads to a café. Turns out Kujiragi’s Ruri’s sister and their grandma sold her off to Yodogiri to basically be his supernatural slave before she ended up taking over the whole empire and now she’s just kinda vibing with freedom now that she doesn’t have to keep up the act anymore. Meanwhile turns out Izaya’s gang is kind of like herding cats because they all hate his guts and just wanna fuck shit up so it’s like unleashing half a dozen Jokers on the city and Haruna and Mamiya have decided to fuck shit up proper. Haruna confronts Anri and says she’s fine with a Saika-off in the streets but for now they should probably just talk. And Celty’s guild is just starting to get their shit together when they turn on the news and find out Mamiya swiped Celty’s head from Haruna and tossed it in some random bushes just to fuck with Izaya so now Celty’s head is in play again and all over the fucking news.

Custom Toonami Block Week 108 Rundown
Kaguya-sama: Love is War: So I was not entirely sure what to expect with this anime, I’ve heard a lot of good things but the premise sounded like it would get frustrating very fast because it’s characters tormenting themselves and if I wanted to watch people waste their youth not getting with people they’d like I’d be 14 again. But now I get it: These people are ASSHOLES, like I legit don’t care about their suffering because they’re both insufferable and I am not rooting for them in the slightest, which makes it a lot easier to laugh at the comedy of their failures. Plus the amazing voicework of Ian Sinclair as the narrator is always a treat, so I’m having fun so far. We get three rounds of bullshit with a movie invitation, Kaguya doing weed, and lunch sharing and Chika’s the only halfway decent person in this show so it’s nice to see her being gay for Kaguya and just kinda getting along with everyone since she has none of the hang-ups of the other two. They try to humanize Kaguya’s complex at the end but I’m kinda not really buying it, like they’re just kinda assholes and no sane person acts like this (which is fine, it’s a comedy) and it’ll take a lot of work to make me take this relationship seriously as a possibility instead of a gag both of them are doing for convenience.
Inuyasha: So we pick up with Suikotsu’s Existential Crisis already in progress and there’s a cool little scene where Inuyasha has to fight claw to claw with Suikotsu without the Tessaiga and Miroku has to get through the others to save Kikyo from getting run over by Tank!Ginkotsu and it’s really kind of nice that Miroku, Sango and even Kirara get to do something for a change, really shows what a villain ensemble can do for secondary shonen characters. It’s also clever that trying to kill Kikyo was just a ruse so Jakotsu can sneak up and kill Sukotsu’s kids so his evil side can take over, however it has the opposite effect and Suikotsu drops out of the battle because he is pleading with them not to kill the kids, giving Inuyasha enough time to grab his sword, it’s a cool little chess match exchange that the show’s been lacking for a while, my only real complaint is Kagome doesn’t do shit, like firing a Sacred Arrow at Ginkotsu probably would’ve solved a lot of this real quick. Still because Mt. Hakurei is fucking up Suikotsu’s evil aura and preventing Kikyo from healing, both sides have to retreat for now. Kagome does her whole thing of ‘oh okay I guess I won’t let Kikyo die” which she’s done several times now and it’s gotten kinda old, like we’re past this in Kagome and Kikyo’s development by now, though to be fair Kagome does say she’s not really confused about her place in things but whenever Kikyo’s around she wants Inuyasha to fuck off for a bit which he doesn’t understand because he has the nuance of an overcooked breadstick. Still, we’re getting to the Bankotsu part of the Band of Seven arc which is legit the most fun bit so I am a bit excited.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Karasu vs Kurama is about to start and we do get a nice little scene of Botan breaking down to Shizuru about how Genkai’s death has affected her too and even if it was her time she wishes for a more peaceful way for her to die while Shizuru says Yusuke’s team winning against Toguro will bring her peace instead, and if they don’t she offers to fight Toguro herself which is pretty badass. Kurama has taken his fox juice and has to wait for it to kick in, which idk why he doesn’t either sit down and drag out getting into the ring with some antics or try to get Karasu monologuing since apparently it’s a matter of seconds or he would’ve died in Karasu’s dynamite blast thing, like if Kuwabara hadn’t talked to him and asked about it the transformation would’ve been too late and he’d have died. It does lead to the line “If that clown gave Kurama bad juice…” which Yusuke is hearing out of context and is rightfully like ‘what the fuck are you even talking about’. Anyway Kurama transforms in time and Karasu stops his cool bomb-based martial arts and instead just starts pelting him with homing eyeball bomb bats which is much less cool, Yoko Kurama makes a plant that senses movement and it auto-kills all the bomb bats and puts Karasu on the backfoot, of course since this is a time OP transformation it’ll probably go out next time at the worst possible moment but oh well.
Fate/Apocrypha: It’s AU time because while everyone was fighting over the Big Cup, the Na-German Soldiers, took the Bigger Cup and noped the fuck out of there only for their obvious anime villain to be all ‘mwahaha now I have the Bigger Cup and will use it to make magical stem cells and also child soldiers to fuel my rock people army’ which he’s now gonna use in a war to beat the Red guys and get the Big Cup which idk why he even needs the Big Cup if he already has the Bigger Cup but bottom line there’s a bunch of Servants but they’re all on one team so the Bigger Cup is like ‘wait no you can’t do that” and makes another team of seven to fuck them up in Fate/Fortnite Battle Royal Apocrypha. So now the baby eating anime villain has Avicebron and summoned Fran, Siegfried, Astolfo, and Chiron with his Ginyu force of characters who have like one visual gimmick in ther designs and I’m sure will be deep and nuanced. Meanwhile Mr. Chainsmoking Necromancer summons Mordred in the traditional ‘throw a piece of history into the void and hope a Saberface pops out of the forest’ ritual, I’m pretty sure that’s how the first episode of every Fate series ends so far. Also a girl is praying and is possessed by Jeanne D’Arc and I’m not sure if that’s magic because that’s also just how Catholicism works.
Nisemonogatari: We start off the second season with Araragi in some kind of SAW trap of Hitagi’s doing in the old school where Oshino used to hang out, we don’t really get any explanation for that now, just a lot of tsundere torture and wordplay, standard Monogatari stuff at this point. Meanwhile we get a flashback of Araragi getting a free day and deciding to go over to Nadeko’s for a bit, between her, his little sisters and eventually Mayoi, this episode has way too much loli shit for my taste, but the general core character stuff is solid. His sisters are concerned that his distantness and passive nature means he’s growing apart from them when it’s really just a combination of getting absorbed into a pseudo-harem collective and being mildly concerned about killing them with his situational vampire strength. Like it’s not something that’ll definitely happen if he gets close to them but it’s something he’s somewhat concerned with but not enough to actually go tell them about all the supernatural shit and upend their worldviews and image of their brother. After far too much talk about little girl panties, Mayoi tells him that keeping it under wraps until it’s necessary isn’t that big a deal which is a not too subtle way to say it’s going to become necessary really fucking soon. Also there’s a cute little moment between Mayoi and Araragi where he’s kinda traumatized about Oshino just kinda dipping out in the middle of an arc without a word and doesn’t want to lose more friends like that and Mayoi says she’s not going anywhere but if she does have to leave she’ll at least come and give him a proper goodbye which he seems to make peace with.
Speed Grapher: I mean I really have no fucking clue what to say about this anime, like there’s so much shit going on. I’ve always wanted to see this show because I knew the protagonist was a photographer and the antagonist was a guy that wanted to destroy the economy so I figured it’s like an edgy Pokemon Snap anime but knew very little else about it. So yeah, Saiga is a jaded film noire style photographer in a city where only the rich survive… so, basically any city. He has a weird fascination with photographing death (to a sexual degree it seems like) and became a crimescene investigative photographer… honestly I’m not entirely sure what his job is but he seems to be a combination detective/photographer which I don’t think is a thing but I always wanted to be a photographer as a kid so it sounds cool to me. Also there’s this dancer guy who breaks a little girl’s arm for not being flexible enough and then gets dressed in a gimp suit to Gum-Gum stretch his way into murdering a bunch of dudes. Saiga takes pictures of the elastic murders while his big titty golden gun police chief lady comes onto him before he dives into an underground society and gets into some real Eyes Wide Shut shit with the ultra rich doing something with a half naked girl named Kagura that’s apparently supposed to either kill people or give them superpowers or something. He can’t keep his fingers off his camera which is frowned upon in your ultra rich eyes wide shut society that no one’s supposed to know about and she ends up giving the ritual to Saiga instead of the small dick naked rich dude they had lined up, so their leader Money Sephiroth is pretty pissed about that but now Saiga’s dying and/or has superpowers because he frenched this feather lady, like see how the fuck do I talk about this shit.
Durararax2: So this is the story of how Izaya Rusty Shackleforded Nakura’s name. Essentially Shinra and Izaya have an odd friendship back in middle school and almost all the current gang leaders in his league of evil are people they went to school with that believe Nakura’s aliases are the leaders of their group when it’s really just Izaya using Nakura’s name because he bought it from him to pin gang crimes on as a scapegoat, partially to get back at him for stabbing Shinra and probably also partially just because he can. This episode seems to try to add some more layers of ambiguity to Izaya, layers he very much doesn’t want, even bring Celty’s head to his meeting with her to see if there’s any reaction between the two pieces. Celty can feel her head’s nearby but knows she can’t force Izaya to give it (which idk how she plans to get it back if that’s the case since just convincing him to want to give it back sounds like a long process) but yeah, Izaya is an asshole that’s using someone else as the figurehead for several other gangs that he’s just absorbed into his own gang cell anyway and he may or may not actually care about a select few people.
Anyway good start to the new block, had a lot of fun with most of these and can’t wait to see where things go from here~

Custom Toonami Block Week 74 Rundown
Code Geass: So we’ve got another one of those “wacky bullshit student activities” episodes, though this one seems to ride the hardest on “shit is going down, the world is ending but haha Shirley romance drama” though admittedly it does have a nice character arc for Milly so that’s cool. Lelouch is worried that the Knights of the Round are here to investigate him until he realizes both of them only have one braincell between them so it’s fine. Cornelia’s also murdering her way through religious fanatics so that’s cool. And last but not least we have Shirley and Lelouch finally getting together right before Jeremiah Geass Cancels her amnesia so she knows Lelouch is Zero and killed her dad and presumably the other stuff that Charles put in the whole school’s brain somehow. I’m sure this will end well and their romance will survive in a way that isn’t insanely tragic.
Inuyasha: We’re still in fillertown and it’s another SangoxMiroku episode. Man we get a lot of these in filler huh? I kinda don’t remember which Sango/Miroku moments are canon at this point. I’d kinda laugh if it was just all filler and some manga-only fans were bewildered when they ended up together in the end. Anyway, Feudal Lord has a thing for Sango because he has great taste and Kagome ships Sango/Miroku so she doesn’t want her to go, Miroku’s like “Hey it’s her choice, she’s been through enough, she can choose her own life, I’m not gonna get involved” which is pretty mature but the girls still hate on him for it. Sango’s just like “Dude even if I wanted to stay I still have this Naraku-slaying quest to go on and I’m not about to sit around all day and be royalty while my friends go kick Naraku’s ass for me.” Which is how most love confessions in this series go. Also Sango suplexes a demon bear the size of a building with her bare hands and it’s pretty great. In the end the lord doesn’t give up going after Sango but they finish the bear stuff and are on their way. I like how they don’t go out of their way to demonize this guy in the end to prop Miroku up, he’s still a good guy, Sango’s just got shit to do and is more the type to like a warrior who’s got her back. There’s some really cute shipping shenanigans here and all in all it’s fun filler.
Yu Yu Hakusho: We’ve got a three for one deal here as Yusuke and Kuwabara assblast their way through the Dark Triad in one episode, continuing their power play of beating villains with little effort while the boss man bets that they’ll completely wreck his guards which is still a pretty interesting dynamic. We’ve got cringey 90s trans commentary, an invisible dude that gets blindsided easily and a hostage ogre that gets beaten by Botan taking off her coat. Honestly for these guys being supposedly minibosses they kind of went down easier than some of the grunts. But now Kuwabara’s in contact with Yukina because his bullshit power of love connection actually works for some reason and they’re in on the final fight with the Toguro brothers. With this many people betting the GDP of countries on the fight there’s no way this isn’t rigged. I really like how YYH basically makes shonen fights just part of stupid black market deals for a large part of it, just like in real life everything’s decided by some old rich guy.
Fate Zero: Kayneth’s still fucked up and has Rock Lee syndrome and can’t use jutsu anymore so his wife’s like “Yo buddy you can’t give Lancer the magic cummies anymore anyway, lemme take control of your hunky knight manslave or I swear to god I’ll rip your arm off and jerk him off with it” which since she asked so nicely he just kind of does. With Lancer still kinda being uppity about Kayneth having dibs on his soul and Sola-Ui being weirdly horny and increasingly yandere for him I’m sure this’ll end well. Saber and Kiritsugu are still pissy with each other because Saber wants to go after Caster to stop the child murders which is fair but she’s also injured and shit and she’s mad at Kiritsugu for not teaming up with Kayneth to just take down Caster right there and I mean I don’t think he really had time to suggest a truce while getting attacked with Terminator 2 goo, he’s not really the asshole here. Meanwhile and more importantly, ISKANDAR HAS PANTS! Nothing can stop him now and they crash Caster’s child murder party and are jumped by Assassin’s Forty Thieves (they aren’t named yet but I’mma just assume) and Iskander’s just like “Yeah no I’m not fighting five ninjas knee deep in child guts.” And they just burn the whole place down.
Konosuba: So in a bizarre Interspecies Reviewers/Food Wars crossover, Kazuma goes to a succubus house and instead of just getting sex they do dreams and shit which seems more complicated but I guess it’s less morally gray. Anyway, naked Darkness and contrived hentai plots ensue. They sprinkle in some good character stuff for Kazuma which is nice, it’s always kind of hard to pin down where his principles lie. Like he’s generally a scumbag and will take the easy way out of anything but he’s not evil and will give Darkness an out on their encounter if she wants and will get his ass kicked to protect his local sex worker. The Principled Scumbag approach is kind of neat for him, I wish a few more of these moments didn’t feel the need to immediately undercut themselves with a joke but that’s the nature of the series. I feel like one or two more genuinely sincere moments throughout a couple episodes would do wonders but either way it’s still amusing.
Sailor Moon Crystal: We pick up right where we left off with Tuxedo Mask throwing himself in front of the Kamehameha for Usagi and then she goes Super Saiyan and cries pokemon tears to bring him back to life. But the bad guys are somehow like ‘yoink’ and steal him from her lap through a barrier somehow (that still kinda pisses me off) and for some reason the crystal that booped its way into his chest isn’t there anymore and Usagi still has and and Usagi’s going through a lot of shit right now between processing the trauma of a millennia-old kingdom falling that’s partially her fault, working through her romantic feelings and having a Steven Universe identity crisis about how to process her identity as a reincarnation of someone a lot cooler than she is, so most of this episode is Usagi crying, as most episodes are, but at least she has a good reason. Then we get a Girl Squad Roll Out montage because fuck it we’re going to the moon somehow.
Durarara!!: Apparently everyone knows about where Celty’s head is but her because she visits Izaya’s office where the head is just kinda behind some books on his bookshelf and she doesn’t know but Shinra’s dad has enough time to mug Namie after telling Shinra and Celty off for their weird interspecies relationship and tell Izaya to have fun fucking around with the head. Also people have shifted from being worried about the Dollars to being worried about Saika and ALSO being worried about the Dollars maybe being at war with the Yellow Scarves. Celty’s looking into it and Shinra shows some character development in just coming out with it that Saika was the sword that severed her connection with her head… I don’t know how you cut the soul of a head that’s already cut off but okay, at least Shinra’s not hiding shit from here anymore. Also Saika’s about to seriously chop up Anri and Masaomi comes to visit his girl in the hospital finally.

Custom Toonami Block Week 77 Rundown!
Code Geass: So since Shirley’s dead, Lelouch has a similar thought to Cornelia and blames the power of Geass itself instead of her actual murderer. So instead of using the Geass Order like he planned he decides to say fuck it and burn it all to the ground, completing his Darth Vader transformation by not only killing the men, but the women AND THE CHILDREN AND THE SCIENTISTS (Science is the fourth gender, look it up, it’s in Dr. Stone). But yeah half of this episode is just murdering scientist who granted were making child supersoldiers but also don’t have any weapons, like they have zero security no wonder Cornelia was able to walk right up to V.V. And the Black Knights are pissed about killing civilians but I feel like once the horde of children starts making them shoot each other they should get the picture. Rolo murders all his friends, C.C. murders all her former supports, Dietard puts a ninja hit out on Ohgi and Viletta also wants to kill Ohgi, poor Ohgi the dude has like nothing going for him and just ended up in this fucked up chess game and he’s just some dude that fell in love when he saw Viletta naked (didn’t we all) but anyway V.V. pilots Jeremiah’s Pumpkin Battleship and before Lelouch can make Rolo kamikaze himself for killing Shirley, Cornelia wipes him out anyway in probably her most badass moment in the series, using the Pumpkin Battleship’s Byakugan Blindspot to bring it down. V.V. is dead like five times over but Charles comes out to drag Lelouch into the Spear of Longinus so he can do Human Instrumentality or whatever.
Inuyasha: Naraku’s kidnapped Rin so Sesshomaru will kill Inuyasha for him and Sesshomaru hates two things more than anything: being implied he likes humans, and being told what to do, so he tells Naraku to fuck off and goes to fuck him up. This being one of Naraku’s plans of course Sesshomaru doesn’t actually have a choice in this and the battle is a farce so he can spread bits of himself all over and absorb Sesshomaru like Super Buu did to Mystic Gohan. However Inuyasha’s new powerup lets him throw a wrench in that by breaking his barrier and Kagura has to pretend to fight him even though she just wants the doggy brothers to fuck Naraku up. Also Kohaku and Rin have a cute little interaction while he’s holding her captive and Kohaku sees Sango again which triggers his selective amnesia shit. Like you get the feeling Kagura probably would’ve been a better guard for Rin but Naraku only has so many named demons and Kanna isn’t allowed to do anything so might as well throw Kohaku in there to get bonus mental damage to Sango which only works out if you know they’re going to split up like that. But again, this is one of Naraku’s plans so it’s like 50% torture, 50% just trolling people to fuck with their heads.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Younger Toguro faked his death and ambushes Yusuke’s date with Keiko because the plot just doesn’t want this relationship to happen. Toguro pulls up on a motorcycle which is just kind of weird to see and he takes Yusuke somewhere, idk if they walked or if Yusuke got on the back of the motorcycle but Toguro either tossing his motorcycle away to go walk to a car park with Yusuke or Yusuke holding onto Toguro’s waist while they ride are equally hilarious images. Anyway Toguro demolishes the parking garage while still breaking all the rocks that are about to crush Yusuke just to literally flex on him how much stronger he was than when they fought. It’s weird because Toguro seems to kinda be mad about having to fake a loss but also respect Yusuke as a fighter which is strange since Kuwabara was the one that put in the effort for that fake win. That doesn’t matter though cause it’s DARK TOURNAMENT TIME BABY! One of the most iconic anime arcs ever is about to begin and it’s kinda funny they yadda yadda over a two month training arc like there’s like three minutes of Kuwabara training with Hiei and Kurama (where Kurama is the bad cop ironically enough) and Yusuke training with Genkai again before it’s like “Okay let’s just get to the tournament” like I don’t think I’ve ever seen an anime where they announce the tournament and then go sign up for it in the same episode, usually they milk that shit to really sell the preparation but they go with “Here’s a few scene and Yusuke’s a lot stronger now, take our word for it” which is a funny way to start one of the most epic tournament arcs ever.
Fate Zero: This is an episode I’ve heard a lot about, Iskandar, Saber and Gilgamesh fuck around drinking, the whole thing kinda reads like a fanfiction or a Ghost in the Shell episode since 75% of it is just talking. Gilgamesh is basically like “Yo, see that shit? All that shit is my shit, even if I don’t know what it is, it’s mine, so fuck off.” Iskandar’s like “What could the man who once conquered the whole world want? To conquer the whole world TWICE!” and Saber’s like “Hey my whole country got destroyed cause I was thrown into a role I was grossly underqualified for so, maybe not that?” and this pisses Iskandar off because her regret and martyrdom isolates and enfeebles her, he sees the downfall of nations as inevitable and leadership as something to form a community that emulates their leader, not to isolate the ruler as some lone pillar. Also Kirei’s Assassins jump them and Iskandar uses Unlimited Dude Works to stomp them all. Basically it’s the whole Ling/Bradley discussion from FMA but with more nuance, rulers have to benefit their people but they can’t be so dragged down by it that it destroys everyone involved once that pillar collapses. So Iskandar’s like “Yeah you have a really toxic way of looking at things Saber, I’m out. Stop beating yourself up about what’s already happened.” And Gilgamesh is like “No, let her keep beating herself up, this fun, I’m having fun.” So Saber has the admiration of the villain and the disdain of the hero which is an odd situation to be in.
Konosuba: So this one is an OVA or something I think so we don’t get closure on the whole “Kazuma is going to jail for horny and non-horny crimes alike” subplot but we do get a cute little story about Kazuma slowly getting murdered while basically doing the Higurashi Punishment Games on everyone. Ironically he’s not pervy enough for Darkness or Aqua because he’s just a voyeur for Darkness and Aqua he apparently has no sexual attraction to whatsoever. It’s kind of interesting because a few times one or two of them heavily imply they’d just straight up take his virginity if it’d help and he doesn’t go for it, I don’t know if that’s better or worse than what he actually does but once again the ‘principled scumbag’ archetype comes into play and it’s always fun to see what Kazuma will or won’t do, it tends to be just enough that we’re willing to see him punished but not enough to make us hate him, it’s a surprisingly good balance. Anyway, Darkness is boobs, Kazuma may be a lolicon for Megumin, Yunyun and Wiz are also boobs, Aqua is boner repellant and Kazuma dies anyway because the real wish was the friends we made along the way but real friends are the ones that murder you when you’re a scumbag… or something. On to Season 2 next week!
Sailor Moon Crystal: I’m kind of loving the Evil Tuxedo Mask aesthetic, like the bishie face with the red eyes and the suit is really cool-looking. Anyway Tuxedo Mask is evil now and seduces Usagi all over again with the power of evil and video games. There’s probably a message here about girls falling for toxic boys but that’s the subtext over a lot of Sailor Moon that there’s lots of bullshit out to get teen girls and they shouldn’t waste their energy on it. Usagi’s kind of having an existential crisis over evil Tuxedo Mask and Luna’s feeling bad about calling him evil before and now that he actually is evil she doesn’t know what to do. Anyway he finds Zordon’s Tower by hypnotizing Makoto and we do the full transformation scene and speech for four of the scouts so you really know they were stretching the plot with this one. Usagi gets over herself but it’s too late, Evil Mask has the crystal and summons Queen Beryl by… flapping his cape, guess calling her was that easy, man you’d think they coulda just stomped these guys a long time ago but oh well.
Durarara!!: We leave off where Shizuo just crushed someone with a car door, good times. Celty takes the knife they had, believing it to be Saika but is so superstitious about it she doesn’t even see it’s a crappy Pampered Chef knife that’s like two years old max. Then Haruna, the reporter’s daughter reveals not only did she have a weird relationship with the teacher hitting on Anri but she’s also controlling all the Saika zombies around the city because to swords cutting people is loving them like how sharks bite things to see what they are. She sics her army on Anri and Shizuo separately and goes after her teacher who was just coming to sexually harass Anri again so… yay? Anyway Shizuo says fuck you to being in a polyamorous relationship with hundreds of sword zombies and Anri reveals that Haruna’s Saika isn’t the real Saika because HER Saika is the real Saika, we got katana school girls here folks, it really is an anime after all.

Custom Toonami Block Week 73 Rundown
Code Geass: Lelouch and co. are still stuck in China and Xingke’s flipping out because the Chinese assholes are gonna kill the Empress and go with someone less problematic for their political marriage to Britannia’s creepily overaged prince. However Lelouch pulls out a Knightmare that’s basically the Twink version of the Gawain and busts everyone up as well as pulling a Father Cornello on them and letting the people know they’re all elitst 1% assholes that don’t care about them, which I suspect all countries probably know about their leaders but it sucks to hear it in a recording so riots show up all over China and CC Geass Flashes Anya to take her out so Britannia has to back out because the Chinese Hierarchy are now the least popular people in the world. So Xingke gets to be with his Empress and joins the Black Knights but Dietard wants the Empress to marry someone on their side so they can basically do the asshole move Britannia just tried to do but for them. All the girls are like ‘hey no’ and Lelouch is like “Oh hey Tamaki buddy, let’s go talk and get me the fuck out of here” so before Lelouch actually has to give Tamaki more lines and elevate him beyond the Black Knight’s Yamacha Shirley calls and Lelouch just straight up asks Shirley about love in a weirdly forced series of circumstance. But Shirley’s like “Yeah don’t fuck with love, don’t you love anyone?” and Lelouch is like “Yeah I do, Nunally!” and I don’t think that’s at all what Shirley meant but it does mean Lelouch sees that fighting for something beyond politics is powerful and agrees to not marry off the twelve year old girl, so that’s good. Lelouch decides to return home while they hunt down the Geass cult which is in China for some reason despite that being one of the like two places on earth Britannia doesn’t control and the Geass Cult largely being a Britannian affair. Meanwhile Sayoko is basically a Lelouch Vtuber at this point with her insanely accurate Lupin III mask of Lelouch and kisses Shirley so Shirley’s a little bit more gay than she was before and is not sure how to feel about that. When she’s about to tell the real Lelouch he kisses like a girl, Anya and Gino show up because we’re retreading the whole ‘sleeping with the enemy at school’ thing from the first season except with way less interesting enemies. Also the preview for the next episode is Lelouch dramatically talking about enemies finding out he’s Zero overtop footage of Shirley and Milly absolutely naked in a batthouse scene so I think we know what kind of episode that’ll be.
Inuyasha: The Panther Demon filler concludes with everyone meeting at the site where the Panther Master is being revived behind a strong barrier, if only someone just got a barrier upgrade to their sword, oh wait. But yeah everyone manages to free the hostages so even though Kagome’s jewel shards revives the Panther Master he’s still a zombie without a sacrifice which is weird since Naraku managed to completely revive the Band of Seven with one jewel shard each from skeletons and the Panther Lord has three shards so idk the rules here but yeah he steals the souls of his own men to revive and is Wind Scar Proof because he just is. It’s pretty cool to see him shooting his claws and lightning and shit but he’s too big and slow for it to be much of an interesting fight. Sesshomaru’s about to go full demon which would be interesting since we haven’t seen his full demon form since he lost his arm but in a neat bit of character development, Tenseiga calms his rage and tells him to use it instead. You get the feeling Sesshomaru only goes full demon when he flies off the handle and forgets about speed and strategy so him opting to not repeat the mistake he made against Inuyasha is pretty cool. Anyway Tenseiga heals the souls of the Panther Demons and drains their energy from the lord so he’s back to Zombie Cat Man which Inuyasha can Wind Scar because that’s what happens to villains on this show, all Wind Scars all the time. The Panthers don’t wanna fight anymore since their boss just killed them and tell Inuyasha to tell Sesshomaru the feud is over and they’re going back to the West. Honestly this is basically the same backstory they gave Kirinmaru in Yashahime so it’s funny for them to say they’re going back to the same place Kirinmaru is from, wonder if it’ll ever come up in Yashahime since most filler seems canon there.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Yusuke and Kuwabara continue the assault on Tarukane’s compound and basically plow through the lower demons easy since they’ve been fighting minor deities up to this point. It’s always pretty cool in Shonen to just have a few rounds to show how much power creep the heroes have had where certain things just don’t bother them anymore. Toguro murders a Chimera which has an oddly similar backstory to Nina from FMA and he seems really bummed about it but he’s like “Hey we’re both monsters made by humans telling us to do shit, so sorry for killing you bro”. And Tarukane basically sees Toguro is the next boss and is like “Yup time to scam some people off of this” and he sets up a betting ring for how far Yusuke and Co will get into his compound. This is kinda neat because it puts Tarukane in the weird position of betting against his own guards and hoping Yusuke will make it all the way to Toguro and then lose after everyone else has seen how awesome Yusuke is and bets on him. And funnily enough Sakyo’s in on the betting and he’s watched anime before so he knows to bet on the plucky teenagers with weird powers. So yeah Yusuke and Kuwabara finish plowing through the demons while Hiei kinda stalks them and remembers getting his eye surgery and wanting to help his sister but it’s kind of against spirit world rules for demons to just go plow through humans even if they’re scumbag humans so now Yusuke and Kuwabara have to go fight the Triad of boss demons Toguro has under him before Hiei busts in and just murders everyone for kidnapping his bird-loving jewel-crying little flower of a sister.
Fate Zero: So Kiritsugu can break Kayneth’s Terminator 2 Gaara defenses with rib bullets that just say ‘no’ to using magic and fucks his arrogant ass up. Saber and Lancer do some combo shenanigans to stab Caster right in the book and disrupt all his hentai tentacle demons but the book heals so idk why he can’t just make more. Kirei fucks up Maiya and Iris but didn’t double tap Maiya and DID double tap iris but she’s got Saber’s bullshit healing scabbard on her which no one knows about so Saber’s like “uhhh why are you healing” and Iris can’t tell her so she’s basically “Uhh internet?” Lancer comes in to save Kayneth’s worthless ass and tells Kiritsugu to stop being a dick to Saber because she’s pretty dope. But as usual for an early Fate encounter, no one dies and nothing of terrible consequence happens despite it being teased a couple times. I’ve noticed a trend with Fate that it really doesn’t like killing characters early so you’re basically guaranteed to have the first 2-3 major battles have a zero net gain/loss. Rider in UBW was probably the subversion to that since it happened crazy fast and anticlimactic but even that wasn’t till like ten episodes in.
Konosuba: So we finally meet Wiz the big booby Lich and Kazuma learns a new skill, both fun things. Also the gang gets a house to stay in after escapades with an army of haunted dolls and the most “I need to pee” in a horror setting since Corpse Party. But yeah, good progress this time honestly, the living in a stable gag was getting kind of old so Kazuma’s a bit stronger now and they have a home base so that’s pretty cool. Also Wiz is a Demon General or some shit but no one cares cause there ain’t no money in murdering busty zombie waifus.
Sailor Moon Crystal: So turns out Minako is Princess Serenity, except everyone who knows anything about Sailor Moon or indeed plot structure knows Sailor Moon is Princess Serenity, that’s like the Luke I Am Your Father of this series. But still turns out Minako has been guiding everyone with the power of video games but also thinks the power of friendship sucks and she’s gotta go do everything alone. This makes things super awkward because Mamoru’s pretty sure he was in love with the Princess but likes Usagi, now instead of running with this interesting thread of a reincarnation falling in love with someone new we’re gonna do the reveal that Usagi’s the princess and the whole ‘till death do us part’ part of marriage was just a metaphor and you’re stuck with one person no matter how many times you reincarnate. But yeah, Minako fights the bad guy on top of the tower but he has Naraku’s Barrier now and Minako doesn’t have the Red Tessaiga upgrade yet so she needs the power of friendship but this barrier is friendship-proof and this fight is basically a bunch of kids on the playground making up increasingly stupid powers that negate the other powers the other guy just made up. Anyway Tuxedo Mask shows up and is like “Holy shit Sailor Moon I love when you kiss me and kick ass, go get em sweetie I’ll hold your flower” and they kiss and Usagi has learned that if she just pretends she got this the power of her confidence will beat the bad guy. Unfortunately she does not got this and Tuxedo Mask has to pull a Piccolo and throw himself in front of the blast.
Durarara!!: So now that we’ve had our climax for the arc we have a six month timeskip and everyone’s just kinda living life, Mika and Seiji are being clinically insane together, there’s cops harassing Celty to the point of mental breakdown (normal cop stuff) Shinra’s dad’s in town, Namie’s become Izaya’s secretary for blackmail shit, you know, normal stuff. Also there’s a katana-wielding maniac going around slashing people and Anri’s being bullied and sexually harassed to the point of mental collapse, normal stuff.

Custom Toonami Block Week 71 Rundown!
Code Geass: Lelouch establishes the Black Knights floating iceburg country complete with representatives and shit and somehow no one on the team monitoring Lelouch notices he disappears right when Zero is exiled, like yeah half of them are in Lelouch’s pocket anyway but you’d think him just yeeting himself out of the country would be difficult to hide from the oversight committee. Anyway Brittania being Brittania is going to have a political wedding with the Chinese Disturbingly Loli Empress and their literal oldest Prince, like they couldn’t even pick a slightly younger prince to make this less creepy, it’s literally the First Prince who’s like 40, I’m sure Charles has fucked more recently and they have a younger prince but no we have to really hammer home how creepy this is. So yeah now that Lelouch’s new band is under the Chinese banner, having them make peace with Brittania and sell them out would be bad so Lelouch decides to crash the celebration and… challenge Schnizel to Chess, because reasons. And both of them just proceed to completely ignore the rules of Chess for shit that’s thematically appropriate before Nina tries to stab Zero and Schnizel says he has all he needs about who Zero really is. Also Milly’s here and I feel bad for her because all of her friends are several degrees down the sanity cliff now and she’s just there trying to hold their cliché student council group together while wondering if she really will have to marry Lloyd or not because it’s been a year and they threw together this Chinese marriage in like two days so who knows anymore. Anyway Xingke crashes the wedding because of his adorable backstory with the Empress and Lelouch crashes Xingke’s crashing of the wedding by literally appearing out of nowhere which is pretty good for a guy as shitty at athletics as Lelouch and also Jeremiah is on a chair in a desert and this is important or something.
Inuyasha: So we start the Panther Deva filler arc and it’s pretty good honestly, we have an array of Captain Planet Panthers to fight with elemental powers of varying strength to give Koga, Miroku, Sango and Sesshomaru something to do so it’s not just the Inuyasha Wind Scar Power Hour and we have some good foreshadowing/fluff of Inuyasha eating steak in the modern era and fucking around with Kagome’s cat and pissing it off which is a good thematic throughline about how petty cats are and the whole thing has this sunset coloring and it’s really pretty. Anyway Kagome gets captured, you know how it goes, Koga’s pissed because Inuyasha is always letting Kagome get captured and he has a fucking point, bitch is captured more than Princess Peach at this point. But turns out the Panther Demons run behind a barrier and too bad for them Inuyasha just got a new anti-barrier sword to try out.
Yu Yu Hakusho: So Suzaku’s kind of broken, he can dispel his clones to heal himself which apparently gives him all of his energy back because he went from exhausted to just being able to re-do the clones again and start blasting Yusuke so he heals and rests indefinitely as long as one of the clones is alive that’s fucking insane. Anyway apparently despite just healing, Suzaku got his guidance system damaged by Yusuke’s first attack and his aim has been getting progressively worse so he just has to sit there with stormtrooper aim winging Yusuke now and then to torture the poor guy despite going Super Saiyan last time Yusuke only had one shot in him but now he does the whole Life Chakra deal and gives his life for one more even Super Saiyan-yer burst and Shotguns Suzaku’s clones into dust and somehow transmits energy to Keiko through the tv to protect her. It’s pretty convenient that Yusuke learned an AOE attack right before fighting someone that needs all of their clones to be killed at the same time to stay down but yeah, arc over, pretty fun, Yusuke pulled so much power out of his ass he literally dies but some spirit mouth to mouth with Kuwabara saves him with surprisingly little consequences for either of them while Hiei says he’d never drag himself down to save anyone and I’m sure that won’t come back to haunt him. Also Yusuke FINALLY tells Keiko he’s a Spirit Detective given this is like the third time she’s been held hostage by a demon she probably should’ve figured this out sooner.
Fate Zero: Caster’s sitting there talking about how Saber is his waifu and like dude Saber is EVERYONE’s waifu but apparently it’s not actually Saber he’s after but a Saberface so he’s not wrong but he’s also not right. So yeah, he orders more child murders which knowing this guy there isn’t a situation that calls for less child murders. Also Lancer’s teacher asshole dude is cheating by using two E-Tanks for his servant after being all ‘haha old magician families are just better lol’ he has to use two dudes to make his servant fight and still got rolled by Iskandar. Also Kiritgusu bombs the fuck out of his building which given this takes place in 1994 is probably in very poor taste. Also Kirei meets Kiritsugu’s battle maid and shit goes down but everyone’s like “Okay Caster’s more insane than usual so we should probably take care of that” and Gilgamesh claims he’s gonna teach Kirei about pleasure while shirtlessly drinking wine so there’s that.
Konosuba: So Dio-voice Dullahan is back and he’s pissed because Megumin keeps getting off to destroying his home. Though through a combination of luck, Darkness being a meatshield, Aqua’s absurd water/holy power and Kazuma’s dumb luck along with Megumin blowing up the henchmen, everyone plays a role in defeating him in the most ridiculous manner possible. Despite not actually getting any money from it, it’s nice to see the group come together and actually accomplish something in their own way. Makes me think maybe this series won’t just be dicking around about nothing forever, which is fun don’t get me wrong but I don’t think I could stand 52 episodes of one note character jokes with absolutely no progression.
Sailor Moon Crystal: Tuxedo Mask blows the load on the whole Silver Crystal deal to the whole town so now everybody knows about it and can keep an eye out for it. So despite Tuxedo Mask being nothing but helpful Luna assumes he still may be bad and has the power to brainwash a whole town despite his only notable skills thusfar have been standing on telephone poles like Itachi Uchiha and cheerleading. Anyway Luna takes everyone to Zordon’s Morphing Control Center under the aracade which you think would’ve come up by now and reveals she’s a moon cat which you think also would’ve come up by now. Luna’s really just been “We gotta do the thing cause I say so” this entire time. Anyway they wreck the tv broadcast and kick the King’s ass but we have a Disc One Final Boss as Queen Beryl shows up and uses her Conqueror’s Haki to knock out the other Guardians without touching them while Usagi has an existential crisis about her crush maybe being problematic. They give motivational speeches to each other, basically Usagi telling him that they both have to try harder despite feeling powerless and them immediately wilting and saying she’s hopless so he can have a turn giving her a speech and then she gets surprised when he knows she’s Sailor Moon despite literally just telling him she’s the leader and has to help everyone and shit. Anyway, you know how this goes by now, Ancient Moon Laser Beams, bad guys fall, Queen retreats and Usagi wakes up in Mamoru’s apartment ready to reenact Fifty Shades of Moon. Hey an actual fucking cliffhanger for once, that’s kinda neat.
Durarara!!: Mikado’s plan finally comes together and he meets with Ms. Yagiri while Celty confronts the girl with her head who says her name is also Celty. We get Mikado’s backstory about basically creating Reddit to make The Dollars a Stand Alone Complex, a gang that doesn’t actually exist outside of the rumors of its existence, man this kid’s been watching too much GitS. Still despite it going predictably awful with guys doing shitty things in their name by some miracle some of Mikado’s wide-eyed optimism gets through and his belief in the good of humanity makes the Dollars a gang that’s good at its core. And now they use that good to outnumber the Yagiri goons and let Mikado get away while Celty jumps off a roof on her bike and has a mental breakdown which people seem to hear for some reason. Also Seiji broke out and is using his yandere energy to hunt down Mikado.
