    Yu-gi-oh was a lot of people's first anime in the USA, that's such a tragedy.

    Ha. The second OP of Summer Time Render goes full monster fighting super teens.

    The headpops will continue until morale improves.

    That was a short loop!

    This series is really quite good and it's sad it's trapped in Disney+ jail.

    Smile of the Arsnotoria reminded me a lot of Little Witch Academia, and also Howl's Moving Castle, so maybe check out the first episode if that sounds like something you'd enjoy. It's based on a mobile game though, which means it could really go either way.

    So the official JP edition of One Punch Man published the chapter this week, and boy howdy it's a humdinger.

    I'm curious why the chapter numbering doesn't match Viz's though. Viz is 2 behind.

    Might be something to do with the redraws of chapters that happen occasionally.

    Okay now THIS is how I was expecting the fight to go and I'm happy it did.
    Saitama just casually grabbing and moving portals in space is simultaneously hilarious and completely unsurprising.

    The very first copy of Shonen Jump in English had the first Yu-Gi-Oh story, and specifically it was the really fucked up stories from before he got to the card game arc that made the series take off. It had the story about an escaped convict holding his friend hostage in a diner so he challenges him to a game, a game that ends with the convict setting himself on fire and dying right in front of them

    I always liked that one because it didn't involve using his spoopy Mind Crush to punish the offending asshole of the week, just clever manipulation

    This feels like a lost OVA in the best way, and really a perfect mix of OG Dragonball and DBZ.

    Yeah, YGO was a different beast at the beginning. This for example was the first 'game'.

    5pbsrZV.jpg

    Then there's the first episode of the Duel Monsters series (which by the way was the second Yu-Gi-Oh series), the plot of which was a VERY compressed version of Yugi and Kaiba's first meeting. How it originally went was that Kaiba managed to steal Mr. Moto's Blue-Eyes White Dragon card and Yami and Kaiba had a tabletop duel in which the former used his magic to create the illusions of the monsters actually being there and later attacking Kaiba when Kaiba lost. Rather then phase him like other one-offs, Kaiba goes off the deep end and turns his new indoor theme-park into 'Death-T', forcing Yugi and his friends to go through several lethal rooms before they had the duel that was the center of Duel Monsters' first episode. And by 'lethal' I mean one room had them going up against hired hitmen in a laser-tag fight with vests that'd electrocute you if you got hit, another had a chained keep-away from a serial killer, a third was a 3d Tetris room with them trying to find a way out before the actual physical blocks falling down would kill them...

    I mentioned this earlier but now that I actually looked up the title of the other series: so if you remember the series Dagashi Kashi, about a manic pixie dream girl appearing in a boy's life to tell him about how great different japanese snack foods are: this is by the same author, and it started out as a similar premise except it replaced japanese snack foods with "wandering around the city at 3 AM when the streets are mostly empty"
    it eventually morphs into a shonen battle thing, many many chapters later, but it takes a while to get there

    Luckily if you are into the "wandering around at 3am" genre the insomniacs after school anime adaptation is coming eventually.

    Dagashi Kashi was ahead of the curve on the "wacky girl + reserved guy" romcom dynamic that's become popular in anime over the past couple years.

    Really enjoyed the first episode of Isekai Ojisan. The OP is great, but doesn't seem to survive on YouTube anywhere. It's got a ton of references in it, and the PS1 anime FMV look they use for it, and uncle's flashbacks, looks perfect.

    Ok so for actual H content we have Dragon Knight and F³ plus a few VHS tapes of shows that are more of ecchi warm-ups for the non anime watching crowd, like City Hunter and Those Who Hunt Elves

    Uhhhh, Teppen's second episode was straight up canceled and is just moving onto the third next week due to "unspecified circumstances."

    I think somebody might have made a whole episode about Abenomics or something.

    There's this screenshot of the episode 2 synopsis before it was scrubbed from the website, and according to the translations I've seen it involves an "assassination plot against the president"

    So, yeah, I guess I see why that one got scrapped
