Anime continues to be fantastic New chapter #69

I am all aboard the Dads' bandwagon! It's a bummer about Seattle, but even though they got swept, that was not an easy series for Houston. The M's put up a good fight.

I think the M's still have some fight left in them, but it's probably better to expect the worst I am hoping that Atlanta comes back to knock out the Phillies. Something about the Phils, I just don't find them to be a very likeable team. I am all aboard the Guardians and Padres bandwagons if they can do away with the Yanks and Dodgers.

It's all good, I won't be losing out on anything It's not like I'm going to stop watching. I've been looking forward to seeing this animated since I read the manga. I just found parts of this first episode to be slow, perhaps even a bit sleep inducing The action sequence in the middle part of the episode was fantastic though.

I fell asleep during the first episode of Chainsaw Man, which usually isn't a good sign But I watched it right before bed the other night, and I've been sick for a few days now. Not sure what kind of virus I have, but it's totally kicking my ass. I figured Chainsaw Man would keep me engaged enough to stay awake, but sadly I was snoozing about 3/4 of the way through the episode

Dudes! O M G It's happening!!! New chapter coming in 11 days This is not a drill! The whole series right up until the most recent chapter (390) is available on the Jump app! The anime ended at chapter 339, so it's not too much to catch up on if your liked the anime and want to pick it up. Some crazy stuff happens. It's been so long since there were new chapters, I'm probably just going to read everything again starting from 340 to refresh my memory. Oh man oh man oh man oh man I cannot believe this

I don't know this team very well, the bullpen and names of guys further down the depth chart, but I really didn't like what they did in the 9th last night. Sewald was awful in the game against Toronto on Saturday. I would have put anybody else out there instead of him. Then they brought in Ray, who is prone to allowing homeruns, with two runners on. And he's a starter that hasn't appeared out of the 'pen in a pretty long time. If it had worked then I suppose Servais would have looked like a genius, but to me that was a recipe for disaster. I'm still cheering for Seattle, but, I won't lie -- it felt pretty damn satisfying seeing Alvarez hit that bomb But, uh... go M's!

So I started reading Jujutsu Kaisen on the weekend and blasted through 64 chapters since then. I am almost at the point where the anime ended. This was a great refresher. There were definitely a lot of details I've forgotten, so I'm glad I didn't try to pick it up where the anime left off. Can't wait to keep reading more! Also, Todo is the best

#2

I never get tired of seeing the parts where Yor absolutely wreck dudes animated That little recap clip at the start of the episode: magnifique!

Fuck me I hate baseball

uuuuuuggggghhh this fucking Blue Jays team I don't think there's going to be a Game #3 on Sunday...

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 swayed me to start reading Jujutsu Kaisen next, so Claymore will stay on the backburner for a while yet. I was going to pick up the manga where the anime left off (around chapter 64, I think) but I might as well just read it from the start and get a refresher on what was covered in the anime. I finished Death Note last weekend. In the end, I wasn't a huge fan. Interesting ideas, but I ultimately didn't love the execution of it. I will spoiler my rambling thoughts...

I watched the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie today and it's effing rad. Loved it. Very tempted to re-watch the anime, but I think I will start reading the manga instead.

What about Yurei Deco!? Did you finish it? I am rewatching it with my daughter (she really likes it so far, 4 episodes in) and I still think it is fantastic.

Bring it on, Seattle! Game times: Friday 4:07 PM Eastern Saturday 4:07 Eastern Sunday 2:07 Eastern if needed I'm cutting loose from work early on Friday

There's still a chance it's Tampa coming to Toronto, but, yeah, I think Seattle is more likely. Either way, bring it on! The Jays are playing really well right now. If it's Seattle coming, then I would bet that the first game pitching match up is Manoah vs. Castillo. I expect Toronto to throw Gausman out for Game #2, but he did leave his start early this week due to a cut on his finger. If the Jays win Game #1 then they might take a chance on Stripling for Game #2, as he's pitched so well this summer too. If they can sweep the M's in two games then that buys a bit more time for Gausman's finger to recover. His middle finger is key to throwing his splitter, so if a cut or blister is bothering him then he might not be as effective as usual. I'm thinking about trying to score a ticket for Friday or Saturday... not sure I can afford it though, even way up in the nosebleeds.

Watched the Prologue again tonight before episode 1. Fantastic stuff. I am so hyped for this series! Even if it wasn't great, I'd be watching a new Gundam pretty much no matter what, but so far I think this is fantastic and I can't wait to see more.

Gonna watch the new episode tonight Chapter 68.1

Has anybody else seen it yet? I took my daughter to see it yesterday afternoon, and we both enjoyed it quite a bit! The movie was dubbed, which isn't my preference, but oh well. On such a big screen, I might have missed all the action while reading subs. I'll add in my thoughts and comments later, don't have time to type it all up now.

Yeah, I agree it was pretty great. Me and the kiddo re-watched the Broly movie about a week after seeing Super Hero at the theatre. I might have actually liked Super Hero just a biiiit better, but they're two very solid DB movies, no matter which way you slice it. I want more!

Finished Bastard!! last night. Looks like there's more yet to come.

Pretty much a perfect weekend for the Jays with a sweep of Boston. I think all they need is one more win, or an M's loss, to clinch home field advantage in the WC Series. The Red Sox got absolutely destroyed by their AL East rivals this summer. The just barely had a winning record vs. Baltimore (10-9) but it wasn't even close for Boston in the season series vs. Toronto, Tampa, and NYY. You should look up their season splits. It's pretty hilarious.

Make time for Gundam!

Pretty solid finish to Overload IV. I knew something was off about Renner, but wow Climb got mixed up with the wrong girl! I guess we'll get another season eventually... seems like it's still pretty popular, and there is a lot more source material left to cover. I'm glad this season is over now though. I've had my fill for a little while.
