The insertion of advertisements can be construed as production.

I was kind of hoping that Boruto would fail to find the souvenir, so that his sister would actually kill him. Then the show could focus on all the characters who aren't obnoxious spoiled brats.

The author Elmore Leonard had a list of rules for writing, and one of them was "Skip The Boring Parts." Apparently this show's writers don't know that rule.

Talk about getting right back to the action. Bad guys hiding in little camouflaged holes in the wall = trap. I'm on a dial-up modem. No video downloads for me.

Kira accidentally outs himself to Jojo, so he's not going to automatically explode. Stuff happens. Meanwhile, Jotaro and Rohan somehow manage to ignore the screaming and the explosions. I'm impressed that Kira has found a place where he can buy ties that have little Deadly Queen heads on them. Talk about specialty clothing. "Mooninites; duplicate, reunite, and u-nihilate!"

I saw the following sign today on a freeway off-ramp for a narrow, winding road: "Trucks and RV's not recommended." How did they manage to get it only half right?

I'll guess it's a simpler trick: Hayato tricks Kira into asking about himself, so that Bites the Dust kills Kira.

Styling mousse? A new stand that he hasn't mentioned yet? An emulsion made from his fingernail clippings?

Looks like everyone is setting up a a complicated game of "who can you trust?", with even Krona getting in on the act. Of course the kids can sight-read Morse code. IF the name of the band that does the opening credits music, Uverworld, sounds familiar, it's because they've done the same for about a zillion anime shows, live action anime movies, and video games, starting with Bleach in 2005.

Cue me and my dislike of time travel plots. Hijacking the credits was cute though. Now Toonami should have him hijack one of the bumps.

It's Samehada night on Toonami; first Boruto, and then this episode. Bee picks up Guy and throws him. Guess you could say that he's a Guy-ded missile. <rim-shot>

Did anyone else have trouble understanding the ninja who used wires to tie up the Misukage? Her squeaky voice is near unintelligible to me.

Insert joke about Granny Butler being the village motorcycle here.

I'm pretty sure this is the only anime I've ever seen where a guy (Asta) does an accidental face-plant into a woman's cleavage, and then doesn't get beaten up for it.

Wait...if Rohan got blown up, and then Deadly Queen did a time-skip back to earlier that day, doesn't that mean that Rohan isn't all blowed up anymore? It would make sense if it only blew people up, or only did the time skip. Maybe Kira wants to traumatize Hayato as many times as possible.

Zeni1: "Wooooo, Goku's okay after all!" Zeni2: "He is okay, and very sparkley!" So I guess Goku has unlocked the Twilight vampire ability to sparkle.

Sasuke started crying when Naruto was born. How appropriate. I guess Minato's teleportation is basically a reverse summoning. This is the same Might Guy who gave Kakashi a bouquet of flowers not so long ago...

Last night I was reading through an old collection of science fiction stories, and one of them used the exact same Big Plot Mystery as Gun Gale Online; player gets killed in a virtual world, turns up dead in real life. And it had exactly the same solution; someone in real life kills the real person when the VR character dies. Outright theft by GGO, or just coincidence? If you want to look it up, the short story is "Death in the Promised Land" by Pat Cadigen, published in 1995.

Kirito and Eugeo manage to befriend the red armored knight with the classic Nanoha technique: They kick his ass. In the talky bit that follows, they figure out that the knights get their memories erased on a regular basis.

Kira can go ahead and kill the kid. Who cares if he's recording everything? He can't show it to anyone if he's dead.

Mom is two steps ahead of Krone, but she's cool with the attempted treachery as long as she gets what she wants. The scene with Krone ripping her doll apart should have been creepy, but the effect was ruined by the completely inappropriate wacky background music. So Ray is the traitor. Or at least a traitor. I suspect there's going to be an attempt to turn him into a double agent.

I, for one, am mightily impressed by Krone's ability to run flat-out on uneven terrain in those heeled boots of hers. And she's a ridiculously fast speed-reader. Maybe she's a robot.

And smart too. Now she controls whether Killua gets to make a wish because she's "it" until she fulfills two more demands.

"DIE YOU ASSHOLE!" Judging by the crowd's reaction, Leorio may be the next head of the Hunter Association.

As if in response to your post, tonight's episode gives it up: The Nine-Tails got loose and rampaged, killing lots of Leaf folks, because Naruto was born. Bet there's a lot of "it's all your fault" in their loathing.
