Angelville: come for the Tombs Fights, stay because you got killed in such a godforsaken place! Anybody else think of Adult Swim's Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell seeing Satan with the Saint of Killers? Looks like he's going to make up for last season by hunting down Eugene and Adolf. "The whipping, I could handle. Being relegated to hunting down the comic relief? That will suck so hard." No rhyming with "dog" this week? ?

DC/HB, Round Three! I might just have to pick up Deathstroke/Yogi. Holy fuck! in the best possible way.

Third season of AoT premieres August 18.

Essay on why Redemption Houses are bad. ETA: Shane took over the show's Instagram, and the old-schoolers came out in force. So many blasts from the past. Great read if you miss the good old days.

Quick teaser.

Finally got an obligatory MOTU sketch, only with Grizzlor in place of Beast Man. I like to think the latter had enough of Skeletor’s schemes for one lifetime. I think the highlight from last night was the dad playing Bob Dylan in the car, and the girls in the back seat bailing out in increasingly hysterical ways. ETA: “Speak of the devil” was also clever, as was Mr. Sinister getting made over.

I finally got all of the main Stardust Crusaders and their Stands last weekend. Yes, I will look into getting Iggy and/or The Fool done.

Lesson learned from last week's episode: Ilda needs to get laid. The boy is one ball of neuroses, and I bet his distinguished older brother pats him on the head a lot. Because anime tropes. Lessons learned this week: Mineta might be even less qualified to be a hero than Midoriya. All he wants to girls, and his Quirk basically involves releasing sticky balls from his body. By comparison, Tsuyu can't help but look better, even though she's basically "Frog Girl." Anyway, the mass of villains storm USJ to kill All Might, but the Symbol for Peace doesn't know about the crisis. The kids get split up and are forced to fight the bad guys, along with Eraserhead and Thirteen. Midoriya tries his best to think through his situation alongside Tsuyu and Mineta, but he's forced to use One For All. I really hope his body adjusts to the strain soon. I'm good with the whole "I can't use this unless absolutely necessary!!" bit. It's the fingers dangling with the broken bones that's unnerving. Oh, and the bad guy covered in hands? Creepy. I think the fact that they cling onto him like they're holding on makes it way more horrific.

Here another set, this time about the Gang being/not being White Trash.

My best guess is that an official trailer will "drop" next week, after it would premiere at the Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con.

Well, this is something at least.

With what?!? Goku probably wouldn't know what zeni looked like without Chi Chi. Shit, she might pre-order her groceries, then send dumbass Goku to pick them up. Also, pray that he doesn't screw that up.

In brief: Polnareff: Iggy saved me at the last second. Why is it that everybody saves me, even though I'm probably the one that deserves to die the most? I mean, I avenged my sister. Sacre Bleu, that should be the end of my arc!! Vanilla Cool Ice: To review . . . I murdered your friend and the mangy mutt that took the image of my Lord and Master. Also, I removed a part of your foot, two fingers, and a good chunk of your leg. There is no way I can lose!!! [five minutes later] Cool Ice: Oh, shit. DIO made me a vampire. The process didn't take right away. And because I was stupid not to jump back into Cream, my body parts disintegrate in the sunlight. Polnareff: (gasping) Ha ha! Mon dieu, a character even dumber than moi!!! [Silver Chariot nudges Cool Ice into the light, killing him] Spirit of Avdol: I go off to my reward with Iggy! Kick some ass for us!!! Polnareff: Wait . . . Egyptians ascend to Heaven? You know what?? Fuck it, I'm blaming this on the blood loss. [collapses] [Back in Japan] Suzi Q: Yes, I know Holy is in a bad way. But I have faith in my husband and in Jotaro. They will save my Holy! [long pause] Roses: Begging your pardon, Madam, but what shall we do should the worst happen, and Holy turns into a vampire in the service of DIO? Suzi Q: Well, tht's what this bag full of wooden stakes are for. Roses: Ah. Resourceful! Suzi Q: If you didn't drop that thug, I would have turned his ass into Swiss Cheese! Roses: Ah. Quite. [Egypt] Nukesaku: Where the three experienced Stand users failed, I, a vampire, shall succe- Jotaro: No [Star Platinum punches Nukesaku through four pillars] Nukesaku: How did you know about my helpless lady disguise?!? Jotaro: At this point, we're going to murder anything that stands between us and DIO. Unless that person squeals like a pig about where DIO is holed up. [Credits] Polnareff: With these curtains, I've managed to bandage my many, many, many injuries. Fortunately, I'm a shonen hero, so I'm still ready to fight! DIO: Oh really?!? Polnareff: What's French for "Oh, fuck me"?

@Silver Raven . . . they're one game over .500. Why the trigger pull? By that rationale, Sandy Anderson should have executed Mickey Callaway between games of last week’s doubleheader. I have to find my copy of Sports Illustrated. They listed potential deadline deals. One of them involved the Mets getting four Yankees for deGrom. Depressing thought . . . God forbid the Yankees win the Series. The fans at the parade would be even more vicious towards Mets fans.

Twenty-second season to premiere on September 26. Also, they'll have stuff at Comic-Con next weekend, including a Cartman-themed escape room. That sounds horrifying.

My memories are really vague. I do recall a sequence with Ed and Ein, the Dynamic Duo of Bebop. For those who haven't been following Toonami: Pop Team Epic is currently running, and the four iteration of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ("Diamond is Unbreakable") will premiere next month. Oh, and a new season of The Venture Bros. is on the horizon. Good times.

For anybody that needs a few laughs today . . .

Got an answer: he ran. He just didn't run-run. Also, I kinda want to punch him in the face because of his new gig. Only way I'd watch is if Sarah storms the set to put the hurt on the limpest banana.

Emmy nominations announced today. As usual, TAR is up for Best Reality Competition. I think all the other nominees from last year made it as well. No Best Host nom for Phil, which still irritates me. How many series have been nominated in that category every year they’ve been on the air? I know TAR is one. Wouldn’t be shocked if The Voice qualifies as well.

Is anyone out there going to shows in the near future? It would be nice to chat about tha. Right now, I’m probably going to get admission to FlameCon. I had conflicts the first few years, but I’m curious about it.

If you’re going to New York Comic Con in October, will you ready to jam? I’m not getting the commemorative edition just for a shot at hanging with those guys, though.

Jodie will be at Comic-Con, hopefully with news about the upcoming season. In the meantime, fans can start collecting Thirteen stuff.

Any word on when we get new episodes?

So the ball was fair even though it poked outside the base line? Is the dirt an indicator of fair/foul? Credit the catcher for doing the heavy lifting. If that was a really important game, the miscue would be the MLB version of the “Butt Fumble.”

*sigh* Same as it ever was, except now two players can walk away with $500K. That's The Amazing Race money. And if BMP throws in the "Fuck Sarah" twist at the end, we're talking one person going home with a million bucks. Makes you want to throw up, doesn't it? As usual, barely anyone is showing base levels of maturity. As usual, there's at least one safety net, guaranteed to be one of way too many twists. As usual, Johnny is front and center. He could punch somebody, and BMP would keep him in the game. Same goes for firing a gun point-blank into someone's face. He is the Golden Child, and I wouldn't be shocked if BMP does all that they can to give him a seventh title. And, of course, the one team I felt the least conflicted about was "ousted" at the beginning. In the long run, Jemmye doesn't bug me, and I kinda want Jenna to win for once. Getting $500K might mean her tastes in guys improves. Seriously, as much as I like CT, I hate Veronica. I just wanna sing "The old grey mare, she ain't what she used to be!!!!" at her direction. And I think I'm older than her. Have I mentioned how happy I am that the bulk of the RR: Campus Crawl cast has titles, and Shane hasn't even been to a finale? What a little snot. Sarah had better luck than you. SARAH. Oddly amazed that nobody tried to pour dirt into their teammates' tubes. ETA: Once again, Big Brother people can ruin anything . . . even a dumpster fire.
