"Alluka, my wish is for you to have a sex change operation." No?

She kind of reminds me of the Midas Money from C Control. The bigger your personal gain, the worse it is for society at large. Or maybe I should be thinking of Fullmetal Alchemist's equivalent exchange, but not so equivalent.

Kirito and Eugeo manage to defeat the Integrity Knight by talking him to death. "Does not compute...er-er-er-er-er-error-error." Judging by the dialog and the names of the knights, I'm guessing that they're modified copies of the original people. The Magical System Command Librarian looks a lot like Taiga from Toradora, but with glasses and a witch hat, and without the violent temper. Same hair and height.

Emma decides that they're going to save all of the kids. Somehow. And her two friends are dumb enough to go along with it after minimal discussion. At this point I'm rooting for the demons. Also, Mom gets an adult helper, and it turns out that the kids all have got tracking devices implanted in them.

Naruto takes a nice long break in the middle of wrasslin' the Nine Tails to have a chat with his mom, who could probably have been written out of the story completely without any impact on anything important. I guess it's kind of like not wanting to hang around with an atomic bomb.

Shikadai summed it up nicely; just one cliche after another.

A recap episode with everything you already know about the Midnight Sun.

Show seems to be getting a bit chaotic. All the jumping back and forth between different characters is annoying. They grow so fast that they're audible.

A local alternative energy company is advertising that they will "upgrade your entire solar system." Presumably their deluxe package will make Pluto a planet again. Mom still tells the story about the time I walked into the house holding a snake and saying "look at the daddy worm!"

New topic for The Promised Neverland.

A dark fantasy running on Toonami as of 4/13. Not a show for kids. At a ridiculously saccharine orphanage where the children each have a serial number tattooed on their necks (cue ominous music), Emma and Norman try to return a stuffed animal to one of their friends who is leaving for the outside world. They stumble across the fact that the orphanage is, in fact, a sort of ranch where the children are being raised as food for some kind of horrible creatures. Time to make an escape plan!

Now I expect an episode where he accidentally flashes his goodies while getting out of a limo.

I don't think so. He seems to have at least two personalities.

An episode focusing on the minutiae of the process for the upcoming election. Maybe the next one will be even more exciting and have the Zodiacs discussing the advantages of various tax accounting practices. I'm sure Rat would be all over that.

Every time someone says "Eugeo", it makes me think "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Attacking a training camp for kids has to rank pretty high on the villainy scale. So far the kids include one who turns calories into super strength, one who produces endless weapons out of thin air, and one with a powerful "demon" that has to be carefully managed to prevent it from going out of control. Starting to sound like Naruto here.

Master Roshi takes out three other combatants, nearly killing himself in the process.

Just got done watching Lazor Wulf. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a "Boring."

Now that I've thought about it, the Posy Cat looks like something from one of Dali's paintings. You know, one of the ones where you squint a little and suddenly something looks like something else. Like this one. "I'll take a fingernail...and clip it."

I suspect that thinking wasn't much involved. Yami just does what he does. Vanessa's power controls "the red string of destiny", so naturally it looks like a cat. Because cats play with strings.

Kira vs. a dead cat that's been reborn as a flower. I hereby dub it a Posy Cat. Also, Kira's newly acquired kid is still a nosy little creep.

Nice to see that the only ninja in existence who has any common sense is now the Kage of the Hidden Cloud Village. Recall that back when he was one of the ninja who had to chase after Killer Bee in Shippuden, he decided to go downstairs and use the front door instead of leaping out of the window.

All right, it's the night where Adult Swim does their April Fools thing, and I'm watching something that's (apparently) titled Gemmu Settu Machu Pichu. Think of a cross between Prefect Hair Forever and Xavier Renegade Angel, with bonus trivia facts thrown in from time to time, and you'll get the general idea. Amazingly stupid in kind of a clever way. Anyway, it's about a guy who's challenging various Inca and Aztec gods to tennis matches while being pursued by Interpol. To the extent that it's actually about anything, that is. ETA: The correct spelling of the show's name is Gemusetto Machu Picchu. It consisted of 6 episodes, at one hour each. Talk about a merciless April Fools gag.

Was anyone surprised that Asuna's flowers got dug up by the jerkwad noble kids? Thinking about last week's episode, they're not handling the brain copy freak-out problem very well. It took me about two minutes to come up with a couple of possible remedies. Making a copy of someone who wants to be an AI, for example.

Naruto meets Killer Bee, who isn't much impressed. Then he meditates at the Magical Waterfall of Meeting Your Dark Side. Unsurprisingly, he meets his dark side.
