Spoilers if you haven't seen the episode

To start things off we meet Kara on Earth! I talked more about her here. Shes's dressed similarly to Android 18 when she, 17, and 16 drive to Goku's house in episode 147 of Dragon Ball Z. While watching the episode I was wondering why does Kara's hair look so familiar? Then it hit me. Kara's got Sakuya Kumashiro's hair from Tenchi in Tokyo!

Shout out to recent DC characters enjoy ice cream for the first time like Wonder Woman in the live action movie and Justice League animated movie, and the new DC Super Hero Girls cartoon. As a mint chocolate chip ice cream fan, good first choice of ice cream to enjoy!

Perry puts Clark and Lois on a new beat for the Metropolis "Most Eligible Single" contest because Superman was chosen to be one of the five up for that title. Cat Grant self-invites herself to join the duo to figure out who Superman is through his love life. Lois is sweating bullets at this point. At the contest we meet the potential people for winning the title, Hank Henshaw, Chandi Gupta, Byrna Brilyant, and Silver St. Cloud. I talked more about Hank Henshaw here. We see a darker more bigoted side to him this time around. Will we see him get his cyborg body and become Cyborg Superman in this season or season 3? Who knows. Season 3 is confirmed though.

Dr. Byrna Brilyant is a very deep DC universe cut dating back to 1946, the golden age of comics. Back then Byrna Brilyant was an enemy to Wonder Woman going by the moniker, Blue Snowman.

Byrna in the 1940s makes her first appearance in Sensation Comics #59 (1946) [W: Joye Hummel, P&I: H.G. Peter], where she was a teacher who's father created this compound called blue ice, after his death, she uses it as a way to extort this town after freezing it over for monetary gain.

Byrna makes another appearance in 2010 in Power Girl #7 (2010) [W Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti, P&I: Amanda Conner, C: Paul Mounts, L: John J. Hill] where Dr. Mid-Nite and Power Girl are trying to stop Byrna from committing a robbery but the main bad guy, Vartox shoots a seduction musk rifle at Power Girl but the smell knocks out Dr. Mid-Nite and it works on Byrna, but not Power Girl. This all makes more sense if you read the comic.

Byrna's next appearance post-New 52 was in Superman/Wonder Woman #4 (2014) [W: Charles Soule, P: Paulo Siqueira, I&C: Hi-Fi, L: Carlos M. Mangual] where we see Wonder Woman and Hessia battling the Blue Snowman robots.

Byrna's latest appearance post-DC Rebirth is in DC: Love is a Battlefield #1 (2021) [W: Crystal Fraiser, P&I: Juan Gedeon, C:Ulises Arreola, L: Marshal Dillion, where Byrna is now gender fluid after interrupting a date between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. Good on Wonder Woman for letting them go and hoping the realization there is a word for what Byrna was feeling would make them feel much better. So going forward if we meet Byrna again, I'll be referring to them with they/them pronouns, but if its New 52 continuity and before, Byrna will be referred to with she/her pronouns with the continuities to help clarify the pronoun usages.

Chadi Gupta is also another deep cut from the DC universe because she's reference to her comic counterpart from Justice League Europe.

Chandi makes her first appearance in Justice League Europe #47 (1993) [W: Gerard Joes, P: Ron Randall, I: Randy Elliot, C: Gene D'Angelo, L: Willie Schubert] where she's escaping her family and comes across the the JLE and wants to join them. Her energy projection and construct creation powers came in handy for the JLE in issue 50 where she and the rest of the JLE were able to fend off Sonar's attack and that earned her a spot on Justice League Europe as the superhero Maya.

Silver St. Cloud is probably one of the more prominent characters from the DC universe who showed up in MAwS. She got into the pop culture zeitgeist through the Gotham tv show when it aired.

Silver St. Cloud makes her first appearance in Detective Comics #470 (1977) [W: Steven Engleheart, P: Walter Simonson, I: Al Milgrom, C: Jerry Serpe, L: Ben Oda] where she meets Bruce Wayne at a party on his yacht. She eventually becomes one of Bruce Wayne's more prominent love interests and one of the few who were suspecting Bruce to be Batman thanks to his constant disappearing.

She shows up in post-new 52 in the maybe possibly out of cotinuity anthology, Legends of the Dark Knight (2014) digital comics, specifically as a cameo in issue #50, Dr. Quinn's Diagnosis [W: Jim Zub, P&I: Niel Googe, C: Kathryn Layno, L: Saida Temofonte], where Batman is getting psychoanalyzed by Harley Quinn.

If you want to read a comic with a fun appearance of Silver St. Cloud give Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1 (2017) [W: Tom King, P&I: Lee Weeks, C: Lovern Kindzierski, L: Deron Bennet] a read cuz goddamn is it noir AF and beautifully drawn (a while back DC superheroes crossed over with Looney Tunes characters and its very good. They have also done it with Hanna Barbera characters as well. Give those a read too! They're all fun!)!

The charity that MAwS Silver mentions was first mentioned in Superman #152 (1967) [W: Bill Finger, P&I: Al Plastino] where Superman is accepting a clock medallion for a charity event. In the comics Silver St. Cloud isn't usually working for charities, shes mostly a Gotham socialite.

At the event, the MC (who gives off Funky Flashman vibes imo), asked if anyone has questions and the first to jump on that was George Taylor of the Metropolis Star. I talked about the Metropolis Star here, but for George Taylor...

he actually makes his first appearance here in Action Comics #1 (1938) [W: Jerry Seigel, P&I: Joe Shuster, C: Strauss Engraving Company] where he is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Star.

In the silver age, George Taylor makes his first appearance in Superman #366 (1981) [W: Bob Eozakis, P: Kurt Schaffenberger, I: Frank Chiaramonte, C: Adrienne Roy, L: John Costanza] where he assigns Perry White on the Superboy scoop to see if he's active in Metropolis. In post-Crisis on Infinite continuity, George makes a cameo appearance in Adventures of Superman #451 (1989) [W,P,&I: Jerry Ordway, C: Glenn Whitmoore, L: Albert DeGuzman] where we see George's office door.

In the New 52 continuity, George Taylor makes his first appearance in Action Comics #8 (2012) [W: Grant Morrison, P: Rags Morales, I: Rick Bryant, C: Brad Anderson, L: Pat Brosseau] as editor-in-chief for the Daily Star where in the comic he's proud of Clark and encourages him to take the job at the Daily Planet.

Kara and Jimmy make it into the studio where Lois, Superman, and Cat Grant are and Kara confronts Superman showing off that she's the one in the armor. She is on a two-way radio communications with someone named Primus. Whether that is Brainiac's designation when Kara is on the field or its a different character all together, there is a Primus in the DC universe, not just in the Transformers universe. Btw this isn't Kara's first time siding with an evil faction, she was part of Darkseid's Female Furies in the 2004 Superman/Batman series, specifically in issue #11. You might have also seen it happen in the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse animated movie too.

Primus aka Pren makes his first appearance in Green Lantern #141 (1981) [W: Marv Wolfman, P&I: Joe Stanton, C: Carl Gafford, L: John Costanza] where he is the leader of the alien group, the Omega Men from the Vega star system. They jump Hal when he and Carol Ferris were on vacation thinking Hal is part of the Citadel, an extraterrestrial empire that is conquering the star system the Omega Men are in.

Primus/Pren NuParr makes his New 52 first appearance in Deathstroke #9 (2012), but gets a more prominent role in the Omega Man limited series from 2015 [panel from The Omega Men #1 (2015) W: Tom King, P&I: Barnaby Bagenda, C: Romulo Farjardo Jr., L: Pat Brosseau]. In this continuity, the Citadel is now a corporation that was exploiting Krypton's destruction by by selling stabilized planet cores to other worlds. This comes at a cost where the Vega star system is enslaved by them and those who resisted we killed and the survivors formed the Omega Men.

And with that another episodes Easter eggs and references are done! Come back next week to see what episode 6's Easter eggs and references are! In case you missed it:

“About earlier, I'm sorry. Back when I shut down your ideas about love, my father didn't...well, he never approved of how I lived my life. And when your opinions are continuously shunned and ignored, it makes it hard to accept the opinions of others. In order to defend your position, you assert your legitimacy by rejecting what other people have to say. But you're not concerned about winning approval [Akira]. You just say whatever comes to your mind. I guess that made me a little jealous, and the old me slipped out for a bit. The truth is, I'm just bad at romance. I'm afraid of getting hurt. Which is probably why I put up a front and acted like work was more important.  [...] If one day, I do find myself falling in love, I can only hope that it's with someone I can be this open with.” -          Shizuka Mikazuki, Zom 100 (Ep. 08)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for June 8-9, 2024. Some fun times this week, as Beatrix joins the crew in Zom 100 as they go out for sushi and a hot spring visit, while Lex Luthor leads the charge in calling for Superman’s denouncement, and Sabo substitutes in for Luffy in trying to secure the Flame Flame fruit in One Piece, among other great moments.

In terms of trends, Toonami trended in the USA alongside My Adventures with Superman and Zom 100. In addition, Android 18 interestingly enough trended during the night. The reason? Check out the next episode preview for My Adventures with Superman, and you can probably see why fans have compared the show’s newest character Kara to DBZ’s Android 18.

No trends were spotted during Week 2 of Toonami Rewind on Friday, which probably wasn’t helped that Summer Game Fest (considered to be the successor to the now defunct E3) was going on at the same time.

This week’s feature was a new ID indent titled Rubiks Cube, as TOM and SARA try to solve a Rubiks Cube. You can check it out below.

Speaking of Summer Game Fest, Toei Animation and Bandai Namco released a new trailer for the upcoming video game, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The newest game to the Dragon Ball franchise, it will be available for fans to play on Steam, the PS5, and the Xbox Series X/S this upcoming October 11, 2024.

Dragon Ball will be once again featured in San Diego Comic-Con this July, as Toei will once again have a booth in the convention center halls during the event on July 25-28, in addition to an outside booth at the Marriott Marquis next door for non-badge holders. I’ll be covering SDCC for Toonami Squad once again, so be sure to follow @AnimeSavior and @ToonamiSquad on Twitter and Bluesky for any news that will be coming about during the con.

This week, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival is taking place in France, and among the awards and presentations, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim have announced several new and continuing original productions. Of interest for Toonami viewers, Adult Swim has greenlit production on a third season of My Adventures with Superman. Among some of the other productions from Cartoon Network include an animated adaptation series of Get Jiro!, a graphic novel penned by the late Anthony Bourdain and Super Mutant Magic Academy, a new Adult Swim original series created by J.G. Quintel (of Regular Show fame) and Jillian Tamaki, the creator of the franchise’s original comics. The Adventure Time franchise will also see three different animation productions, including a movie; Adventure Time: Side Quests, which will feature stand-alone episodes in Finn and Jake’s adventures; and Adventure Time: Heyo BMO, a preschool series starring BMO.

Toonami creator Jason DeMarco is also at Annecy this week to promote the new Lord of the Rings anime film, titled The War of Rohirrim. Directed by Kenji Kamiyama, produced by Joseph Chou and Jason DeMarco, and animated by Sola Entertainment; the anime film will also feature the talents of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, as executive producers. "The Lord of the Rings: The War of Rohirrim" opens in theaters on December 13, 2024.

Unfortunate news in the anime industry this week, as Gainax, known for giving us the Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, and FLCL franchises, alongside other classics including His and Her Circumstances, Nadia, Gunbuster, has filed for bankruptcy after 40 years in existence. Studio Khara, Evangelion creator Hideki Anno’s newest animation studio, will assist in foreseeing Gainax’s liquidation, including transferring or selling the rights of all their remaining properties. While Gainax will be missed among the anime community, its legacy will certainly live on through its successor companies and veteran animators, including the likes of Studio Khara, Studio Trigger, and Production I.G.

Not much else to say other than see you again next time for another round of the better cartoon show. Later.

Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold. The number next to the listed trend represents the highest it trended on the list (not counting the promoted trend), judging only by the images placed in the rundown. For the Twitter tweet counts, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.

9 and 10?

9. worst part of canon

Ok so Guilty Gear spent 23 years building up the fact that Sol got turned into a Gear against his will and that every day for the last ~150 years of his life have been a living hell because of the Flame of Corruption nagging him to destroy everything and to give up what remains of his humanity, and then in Strive in a scene that took like 5 minutes they were just like "btw Asuka could've taken the FoC out whenever and the process is actually super easy" and then they just haven't gone back to that since lol Can you imagine if Dragon Ball Z was like "Goku can't go super saiyan anymore" in an episode detail that was barely more than a footnote in the greater lore?? Strive did that with Sol

Also Dizzy. She's just been Ky's Wife™️ since Overture. Free her!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASW you have the budget to animate her now DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. worst part of fanon

uuuuuuuuuuuh This one is so hard.... Hm....... Not enough Goldlewis posting. Man's left out in the cold

Here is a special morning for the Friday audience.

With my mother making me go to my father's planned funeral on September 13, I had to shift up the T3 Express block by seven hours*, much like how I turned September 7's Saturday morning lineup into a special late-night lineup due to preparations for the upcoming funeral.

I had to do that to give myself some time to dress up and ride with my mother to the funeral chapel when the time comes.

As a result, this will be the T3 Express schedule for September 13 as presented here:

130924 (All Times PDT)

T3 Express Special Edition

E/I: Educational & Informational

7:00A - SAILOR MOON (E/I)

7:30A - SAILOR MOON (E/I)

FORENSIC FILES

8:00A - NARUTO (2002 series)

8:30A - Moriarty the Patriot (Episode 5)

LEGION OF SUPER HEROES

9:00A - TIGER & BUNNY (2011 series, Season 1, Episode 3)

9:30A - X-MEN (Episode 20)

"Lucky Ending"

10:00A - attack on titan: junior high (Episode 6, rerun)

10:15A - DRAGON BALL Z ABRIDGED (Episode 16)

I also got started on working on a specially-edited version of a 30-year old Pierrot anime long before my father's passing. When I complete editing all 15 episodes before Halloween, I will air it following the series finales of Rick And Morty: THE ANIME, TSUBASA: Reservoir Chronicle, PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA, and whatever cartoon that will win the next U-PICK poll event**. This 15-episode cartoon will be live-streamed on the New Gabe Order Twitch channel this November in memory of my father. My father was into computers and technology, and same can be said with this cartoon grandfather, the man who provided the cybernetics for his granddaughter, who happens to be the main character of this anime series. Even if my father didn't die, I would have live-streamed the series anyways. I had to make edits so Twitch would be far less likely to catch me if any risque content is exposed.

** The next poll will happen on September 20-27, and the theme of the poll will be four-episode cartoons. As usual, the top result will be added to the Saturday morning lineup following the poll event.

[the-bejeesus]

People need to stop blaming the fact that One Piece isn't nearly as popular in the US as other long running shows like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto on the 4KidsTV dub. Yes the 4KidsTV dub was bad, yes it made it look like a show for little kids. But it aired for just 3 years, and wasn't even viewed by that many people. After all, it wasn't popular. It'd be a setback for sure, but over 16 years later, there's no way this is still the root cause, when shows like My Hero Academia can skyrocket in popularity in a fraction of the time. The newer quality dub is the only dub that's been marketed for a decade and a half, with episodes in sub on Crunchyroll on the day of airing.

The fault isn't the show being too long or the animation or the pacing or any of that. These are problems that every other country has to overcome in selling One Piece. The fault is in Crunchyroll's marketing. While some people point out that "Film Red ads were at Times Square" or "They're showing Episode 1000 at the expo!" there's not much Crunchyroll actually does to encourage new audience members. Yes, the dub is caught up more or less, adapting the most current arc. But that's only if you're buying them on Microsoft Store for $30 for 12 episodes. If that sounds like a scam to you, you have to wait a couple of weeks for it to show up on FUNimation or Crunchyroll, the niche streaming services for dedicated anime fans. If you don't want to subscribe to tons of streaming services and just want to use the most popular ones, it's on Netflix too, but only up to Enies Lobby, it doesn't even cover the first 500 episodes of a 1000+ episode show. A bit odd for a platform that is trying to hype up their live action adaptation of the series, but streaming licenses can be tricky and expensive, at least they have the show at all, as it wasn't even on Netflix in the US for a long time. Hulu fairs a bit better with 457 episodes, though dub is the only option (this was NOT how hulu was with One Piece just 6 years ago, btw. It changes all the time how much sub or dub they have). Don't even get me started on Amazon Prime. It's not even about the $2 per episode, the navigation is horrific. I couldn't even tell you what episodes they have. There's like 3 Season 10s and a Season 11, and all of them have the most random ass selection of episodes. Like straight up, it needs fixed cause idk what the hell's going on. Even if $2/episode was a reasonable price, I'm too scared to buy it. I'm afraid it's not gonna even be the episodes I ordered. If you'd rather just catch the latest episodes on TV, they're on Toonami, the channel that only airs from midnight to 3am. A pretty late schedule for normal people, and even if you can catch them, they're nearly 350 episodes behind there. It actually would have been even more behind, as it was cancelled for quite awhile. But to make up for lost time, they skipped 134 episodes. Those unaired episodes are some of the most iconic, high-rated, and important story arcs of the entire series. And don't expect to catch re-airings, this ain't DBZ Kai on NickToons. You can also collect the series on DVD/BD. But that's gonna cost you $44 for 12 episodes. And don't expect to pick it up at a Wal-Mart or Target. Maybe a Best Buy if you live somewhere busy, but even that's not guaranteed. 9 times out of 10 you gotta deliberately buy that online. Might as well buy two shelves from amazon while you're at it because that my friend is 64 DVD sized boxes you're going to be purchasing, assuming you're buying the Voyage sets. With the Collection sets you can collect the series in just 32 DVD sized boxes, because the Collection sets are literally two Voyage sets for the price of one.

Compare this to Dragon Ball Z. People my age grew up catching episodes frequently on NickToons or Toonami. Many I know started in their teens watching Dragon Ball Super on Hulu. You can catch the whole series dubbed and subbed on Crunchyroll. If you wanted to own Dragon Ball Z, you can get the Orange Brick DVDs, the Dragon Box DVDs, the DBZ Kai DVDs, the Blu-Rays, the Level Sets (jk they discontinued), the DBZ Kai Blu-Rays, the 30th Anniversary Blu-Rays, the steelbook Blu-Rays. Wal-Mart has Blu-Ray Orange Brick sets where you can buy 3 seasons for $30 dollars, that's 1/3rd of the show for the price of 12 niche anime episodes. You can also buy the manga by the volume, by the box set, in a big-print omnibus set, (partially) in a full color set, or online. And while games like Dragon Ball Z Kakarot are still getting fresh dubs, high-budget One Piece games like One Piece Odyssey or One Piece World Seeker are Japanese subbed only, with not so much as an English dub update in sight. Most Dragon Ball movies are available in dub, and even come in 2 or 4-movie Blu-Ray bundles. One Piece only has 6 of their 14 movies dubbed, with only 6 TV Specials dubbed as well.

My point is that the most approachable way to get into One Piece is the same way it was 16 years ago; piracy. It's not kaizoku-fansubs or kissmanga like it was back in the day, but things haven't changed much. Most fans ik don't catch the latest 12 dubbed episodes on FUNimation, they watch them on 9anime. They don't purchase 4 box sets of manga that are all nearly worth $200, they see fanscans of the colored manga on mangasee. With this kind of fanbase, One Piece is always going to stay within the "Film Red grosses $12M at US box office" range of popularity. To get to the "Dragon Ball Super: Heroes grosses $38M at box office" ball-park, you gotta reach out to the audiences who just want to watch some TV and don't want to have to do some digging. Even the 4KidsTV dub knew this. It wasn't very popular, but by airing at day time and having plenty of commercials, and just being on a channel kids tune into, it would at least catch the accidental attention of people every now and then. Sometimes I have to wonder if Crunchyroll even wants to push One Piece as a flagship series, or if it'd rather just be known for more trending anime like Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer.

🕎Kamehame-Hanukkah (5/8)🕎

It's Hanukkah, and that means Antiochus IV Epiphanes can go fuck himself, and it also means we're gonna talk about another Kamehameha from that popular anime, One Piece.

Wait, whaaaaa? The Kamehameha is from Dragon Ball, not One Piece! What in the wide world of sports is a-goin' on here? Patience, gentle reader. Allow me to explain....

In 2013, Toei produced a three-way crossover featuring two of its most popular anime franchises: One-Piece and Dragon Ball. Also Dream 9 Toriko was involved. If you're not familiar with that one, don't worry. You're not alone.

I watched it earlier this year as part of the 2023 Dragon Ball Apocrypha Liveblog, and it's not very good. The story was presented as Episode 99 of Toriko and Episode 590 of One Piece, so I don't know if the problem lay with the quality of those anime series in general, or if the special itself was just too unwieldy for its own good. There's like 900 characters in the thing and very few of them actually get to look cool.

Anyway, the plot involves characters from all three franchises teaming up to hunt down some sort of life-force-stealing monster fish. I think the idea here was to have a sea creature, which is typical for One Piece's pirate cast, but also the creature is delicious when properly cooked, which ties into Toriko's action gourmet bit. And they needed somebody to kick the thing's ass, which is where our pal Goku comes in.

The fish turns out to be insanely powerful, and when Goku resorts to a Spirit Bomb, it just gets stuck in the monster's mouth. So he has to push it harder, kind of like when he turned Super Saiyan to finish deploying the Spirit Bomb against Kid Buu.

So while the B-listers keep it busy, Goku charges up a Kamehameha and turns Super Saiyan 3 at the same time. I've only ever seen one episode of One Piece, but I can promise you this is the best one. Unless Cell guest-stars in another episode. That'd be pretty cool.

Goku lets it rip and this forces the Spirit Bomb down the monster's gullet, and it detonates the bomb and... doesn't destroy the creature. Instead it just expands violently and all the energy blasts out of its mouth.

Which is... pretty wild when you think about it. The monster's dead, no worries there, but usually when Goku kills a guy they get totally vaporized. This is just a contrivance, of course, since the payoff to this battle is that all the good guys are going to eat this monster fish for dinner. Obviously, they can't eat it without a body, so there we are.

Still, that makes this thing one of the most durable enemies Goku has ever fought. And while this crossover was disappointing as a whole, I can't help but appreciate the spectacle in the finale.

@writerwithoutsound I hope you don't mind me stealing this but it looks like fun!

1. Killer and Healer: I think this drama is forever going to be a comfort drama of mine and I doubt anything is going to top it. Like I genuinely doubt it. It has my entire heart and soul...it has my everything

2. S.C.I: My first cdrama that introduced me to the world of cdramas/dramas in general (I watched a few jdramas with my mom when I was younger but never really got into them) so it has a special place in my heart. It was my top drama until Killer and Healer came along. But it's still a show that I love and like to watch every now and then (Second season when; it's been years)

3. Doubles: I love this fucking jdrama okay? It's an older police procedural/crime jdrama but my fucking god is it a comfort drama. I love the cast and the cases and just everything about it. It just makes me happy

4. Dragon Ball: I love this god damn show, okay? I love every version, the original, Z, Z Kai, Super, GT, the fucking movies...it's my first anime and I love it.

5. CSI: Miami: The only CSI show I have watched all 10 seasons of. I literally can just see the beginning of an episode and know which episode is playing, that's how much I've watched this show. But I really like it and I like the characters because they're so bitchy and if you're bitchy, I'm probably gonna like you (though there are some characters I'm more fond of than others)

6. Law & Order: I like my police procedurals okay, sue me. It's a comfort show of mine but I have to say, I like seasons 3-5 the best because of the partnership between Mike Logan and Lennie Briscoe. I think they were the best partners. But I also just like Jerry Orbach so there's that

7. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty: I think one of my first cdramas in COVID (covid is when I really got into watch dramas because of how much time I had on my hands when I wasn't doing school) and it was just so fun and interesting and tragic and I loved it

8. The Fiery Priest: My first kdrama that I watched during COVID and it had me screeching with laughter because of how funny it was. But there were also some really serious moments during it to and they mixed the serious with the funny really well. I can't wait for the second season

9. Forensic Files: I love this show. I fall asleep to it all the time; it's like my white noise. It's also one of the shows (besides CSI: Miami) that got me interested in forensics (I was interested in forensics before but watching this show just enhanced my interest in it)

10. NCIS: New Orleans: I like this NCIS show the best and again, like CSI: Miami, I've seen almost every episode (for the most part) but I like the seasons after the first two seasons, just because I didn't particularly care for Meredith Brody. Not my favorite character. But I like the show and I like Dwayne Pride

You can blame One Piece for my lack of stream activity on my YouTube channel lately. I've been getting into it. I'm sorry but it's just so good, I don't even care that it's super long.

There's no real wrong way to start One Piece. All 3 versions of One Piece have their own very distinct flavor.

The manga is everything as Oda intended it to be. You pick this one for the most authentic and well-paced experience possible. This version is my personal favorite.

The anime may tone some things down, but the animation and music are so beautiful. "We Are" will be stuck in your head for many years to come. And surprising for a long-running Shonen Jump anime, there's very little filler. Just some padded time in canon episodes, and only 9% of the episodes are all filler. Compare to other SJ animes like Dragon Ball, Naruto and Bleach, where almost half of it is filler. And then you get to Boruto which has so much filler that you're basically forced to read the manga instead...

The live action series stays largely accurate to the source material, but the events that happen in between the major plot points are different, letting it stand as it's own show while still being faithful to the original. It also takes itself more seriously, but the fun lighthearted goofiness that One Piece is known for isn't completely absent either. The show is very fast paced, so while some characters may not be as developed as they are in the manga, it makes for a great entry point for newcomers. And even for long-time fans, it was a fun watch.

My Easter eggs and references for My Adventures with Superman comic issue 3 post is here

(SPOILERS if you haven't seen the show yet):

We start things off with the title of the episode, "Kiss Kiss Fall in Portal" a fun nod to the lyrics of Ouran High School Host club's OP, Sakura Kiss by Chieko Kawabe. Very apt since Clark wanted to show the cherry blossoms to Lois on their date.

Next Jimmy razzing Clark for his extremely scheduled date plans for Lois and razzing Lois for her gift to Clark. Each of them reference what happened in previous episodes. With the first thing Clark and Lois I talked about it here and the second thing Clark mentioned I talked about it here.

After we cut back from Lois and Jimmy picking up Lois's dry cleaning, we meet the villain of the episode, Mr. Mxyztplk. In the comics, Mxy makes his first appearance in Superman #30 (1944) by Joe Shuster, Jerry Seigel, and Ira Yarbrough as you can see in the page above this text. Mxy is a 5th dimension imp who plays jokes and pranks on Superman and can only be rid of if Mxy says his name backwards. Yeah Mxy is a MAJORLY annoying thorn at Clarks side. MAwS Mxy, as you can tell has a DRASTIC overhaul in design kinda shares color and design choices with Whis from the Dragon Ball Super anime. Also in the show Mxy is a chaos god compared to the annoying imp in the comics.

Classic way to describe Clark Kent. That's a given in any Superman media.

Next we see Mxy mess with Clark by snapping him into his various Superman animation incarnations from the Max Fleischer cartoons, the Superfriends cartoons, and the cartoon that introduced Superman to me, Superman the Animated Series. Shout out to the MAwS team for remembering to give StAS Superman the darker trunks. People often forget that. Same with the red belt on the Fleisher Superman and the cape circling behind the neck of Superfriends Superman when usually the cape exposes the next a lot more too. Very good attention to detail.

With Lois and Jimmy they meet alternate versions of themselves. We meet two different Loises and one Louis Lane. There actually is a Louis Lane in the comics who has connections to Mxyzptlk.

In Superman #349 (1980) (W: Martin Pasko, P: Curt Swan, I: Frank Chiaramonte, C: Adrienne Roy, L: Ben Oda), Clark is forced into a genderbent world thanks to Mxyzptlk where he meets, as you can see on the page, gender flipped versions of his Daily Planet colleagues. Clark is eventually able to escape the world and defeat Mxy where he actually meet Louis Lane, Lois Lane's legit cousin. Bonus fun fact Osric Chau who voices Louis Lane, was the Atom/Ryan Choi on the CW DC shows

The League of Loises have a ship that's kinda similar to one of the ships designed by Rian Hughes and Grant Morrison on the Multiverse Map. I talked more about that map and the multiverse here

Lois Prime here shares similar designs to Fleischer Studios' Lois Lane. Very good homage to the look.

Next scene is EASTER EGGS GALORE and the section that took the longest for me to do. When Mxy and Clark break into the Science and Superhero Museum that Lois Prime created, we see a mace and an elaborately designed box of some sort. If you know your DC universe, these two things are a Thanagarian (alien hawk people) Nth Metal (strongest metal in the DC universe) Maces that is usually wielded by Hawkman and Hawkwoman/girl (as you can see both of them wielding their own respective maces on the comic covers here. The first one is from Justice League #15 (2019) done by Jim Cheung Tomey Moreu and the second cover is from Hawkman #1 (2018) done by Stjepan Šejić) and the box is a Mother Box from the New Gods. The Nth Metal mace makes its first debut in the Brave and the Bold #34 (1961) though it resembles more like flails and even then the Nth metal mace is a morningstar, but its alien technology maybe Thanagarians call these weapons maces where here we call it a morningstar.

Mother Boxes are basically supercomputers that the New Gods use. Created by Jack Kirby and debuted in the Forever People #1 (1971), Mother Boxes have a wide range of uses from energy and molecule manipulation, energy transferring, Boom Tube summoning to travel inter-dimensionally or inter-/intra- galactically, machine manipulation. The page from Who's Who-The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #16 (1986) explains what a Mother Box is in full detail.

The camera then shifts and we see a Green Lantern Power Battery, a T-Sphere, and a book on display. The farthest item is an obvious one, a Power Battery that Green Lantern uses to recharge the Power Ring. This version of the Power Battery and Green Lantern make their debut in Showcase 22 (1959). The final two panels from the comic (W: Jon Broome, P: Gil Kane, I: Joe Giella, L: Gaspar Saladino) shows Hal Jordan recharging the ring with the Power Battery.

T-Spheres are floating spheres used by Mr. Terrific aka Michael Holt. These spheres can form laser grids, act as sensor arrays, bombs, record video and audio, hack into computers, display holograms, and discharge electricity to shock things or people. They make their debut in JSA #11 (2000) as seen there in the middle two panels (W: Geoff Johns, David Goyer, P: Buzz, I: Michael Bair, C: John Kalisz, L: Ken Lopez).

The book is a little harder to pinpoint, but my guess is this is the Book of Souls/the Cosmic Log/The Book of Destiny. If Lois Prime is able to find all this stuff and is able to preserve it in a museum, I wouldn't be surprised if Destiny of the Endless gave her an inert copy of the book for the museum. The book makes its debut in Weird Mystery Tales #1 (1972) (Page art by Michael Kaluta). The book records everything that is, was, and will be. If you haven't read the comics, you might have seen it be used on the CW DC shows rewriting the histories of their characters.

Ok so at the moment I am near the end of my 30 images limit so I will be making another post to hopefully finish the rest, but in the meantime, now that you are down here, feel free to check out the other easter eggs and references posts -

Spoilers for the newest Sun and Moon Show episode "Sun and Moon's NEW ENEMY in VRCHAT" below

Beware, word soup below the read more. I'm just throwing out thoughts willy nilly.

The sarcastic laughing is SO goddamn funny. I'm crying. I love the AI's. They are such funny characters to me.

I would love to see just, like, a funny side episode where Moon's two AI's meet up with Monty's AI on his space craft. Interactions between the three of them, especially if Moon, Sun and Monty are there. I think that has the mixings to be a funny episode.

I don't know how to describe why I like the way the AI talks to Moon now. Pre-mind wipe it was so much more respectful towards Moon and now it treats him with the same level of what feels like contempt to me as it treats Sun. I like the way their interactions have changed, I wish I could articulate why. (Also the concern that pops into it's voice when Moon sets the portal or whatever? Yus.)

"The Entity" jumping out of the ball pit caught me off guard. It was really cool to see, but it was also so unsettling. It felt like a lot of movement for VR Chat, watching them just vault over the thing with ease. Super cool.

I LOVE this new character. This "Entity". Heavy Nobe vibes, a character of Invisible_Davis's whom I also like a lot, I'm SO excited to see where they take them. They're all sing-songy and cheerful but also threatening. Goofy but capable. Good shit. The LAUGHING. Genuinely making me nervous.

Also, another thing I noticed. Pre-Wipe, Moon was always a very threatening character to me, he had a sort of 'this is a villainous character on the side of the good guys' vibe to me and now his threats against the Entity just didn't hold up here. For some reason his 'negotiating' which he's done before didn't hold as much weight while I was watching it. Super interesting for me to realize I've had this perception change of the character.

Everything post 9:25 before the return to the present in the video was great. Moon getting sucker punched and then screaming for the computer to take the Entity down. The AI immediately responding. The Entity's joy at having sucker punched Moon. The Entity dodging fucking lasers as well as their whole unconcerned reaction to being shot at. Moon's reaction to hearing the Entity had left the daycare already. "It's just you... and Sun in there." Moon getting scratched, physical damage. That entire section was fantastic.

The entire conversation about what they should call the Entity is really funny.

What happened to Moon's mic at the beginning of the episode? He went "Spiiiiiiinnnnneeeeeerrrrrrrr̷r̶r̷" It was really funny.

Sun launching the barrel into the far cosmos a la animation error style had me crying. Fuck me that was hilarious.

The AI bashing Marvel

Tiny detail I really liked, the 'ha' being cut off mid articulation after Moon told the AI off

Based Dragon Ball opinion from Moon

I appreciate they got distracted talking about Dragon Ball being mid that was funny as hell

"Welp you heard it here first! My Dad said no!"

"We could play hide and seek." "Stab and seek? I like that idea." "That's not what I said."

"Like stab and go seek." "But like... rewind."

" I don't have lips I don't know how I'm doin that noise."

"Three years. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That was a joke."

"Give me a legitimate answer you sarcastic [REDACTED]."

It occurs to me that when Moon said "C'mon you're a gamer Sun I believe in you!" He meant Sun and not son, but I heard son the first time which is infinitely more funny.

"GUNS."

...

"Guns."

I love this show so fuckin much. Absolute banger of an episode all the way through.

Hi Belle! For the fanfic end of the year asks :)

14. a fic you didn’t expect to write

15. something you learned this year

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

Hi Myth! It's only taken me a month and a half to answer this, my response time is improving!

14. A fic you didn't expect to write

Oh! Probably Transition #1. I thought I had moved on from that RPF fandom approximately 12 years ago, but here we are. I was watching old YouTube videos of Pia and Uwe and just...got sucked back in! Also it's in German, which is probably the language I'm least confident in. (It's not even the cases that bother me, it's my vocabulary not being extensive enough to be able to express myself properly!)

15. Something you learned this year.

So, it's not fic-related at all? But I started learning Japanese on Duolingo in mid-December 2023 as a way to have a tiny little distraction every day during a super chaotic time irl, and it's really fun? I don't have plans to ever visit Japan, don't really watch anime other than the times my wife's watching Dragon Ball and have no real connection to the country, but I think the language sounds and looks lovely. And I'm on a 9-day streak now, and I'm having so much fun! It really is way more fun to learn something out of free will as an adult.

25. A fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read.

Oh man, I read so many great fics this year. I'm going to select three, because I can't possibly pick just one.

First is Tomorrow Take Me Higher by hughinahoodie (pseud of MldrItsMe). It's E-rated, 179K words of absolute House M.D. brilliance. It's the addiction recovery House deserved, and a realistic one at that.

Secondly is Grief, and other ways of loving by @nightraiderwrites I didn't even watch Witchcraft SMP beyond Cleo's first episode but holy shit this blew me away? I think I got it recommended somewhere, and I'm so glad I did.

Thirdly, it's living arrangements by @raffinit. I originally read their Jaina/Sylvanas (World of Warcraft) works, and then found out they also wrote The Last of Us, Joel/Tess, and this one just... I felt so many things while reading this it's insane.

Thank you for asking!

“What I want to do is save as many people as I possibly can. And you're in my way, Himeko Toga. So, I'm going to have to stop you right now.”

-          Ochaco Uraraka, My Hero Academia (Season 6 Ep. 10)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for February 18-19, 2023. Toonami begins the first of two weeks of DC Movies, as the entire block took the night off (save for My Hero Academia and reruns of Primal) to showcase Injustice, a 2021 film based on the 2013 video game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

In regards to trending for the night, on Twitter, Toonami trended in the United States alongside My Hero Academia and Injustice. Meanwhile on Tumblr, #Toonami trended alongside #mha.

Toei Animation has revealed a sneak preview of the upcoming "Toriko x One Piece x Dragon Ball Super Crossover Special," which will make its U.S. debut on Toonami on March 4 at 1:00 a.m.

Studio MAPPA and Pony Canyon have released a second trailer for Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 3, which you can see below. As previously noted, Part 3 will be split into two additional parts, the first will be a 1-hour TV special which will air in Japan on March 3rd. The second part is scheduled to air later this year. Neither Toonami nor Crunchyroll have revealed their plans regarding the U.S. broadcast and distribution of Attack on Titan’s finale as of this time.

Tune in tonight as following a highly anticipated episode of My Hero Academia at midnight, Toonami will showcase the Ballmastrz Rubicon special at 12:30 a.m. followed by Justice League vs The Fatal Five at 1:00 a.m. Until next time, stay gold as always.

Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold.
