Diavolo already did that.

Flying in a JoJo episode.

What could possibly go wrong?

"He'll tell us after a good beating."

"That bastard with the boob window."

Oh, Jolyne and Ermes, never change!

 

Stone Ocean 28

Another gem:

Rohan will be jealous.

 

Stone Ocean 29

Did I mention anything about
 

Spoiler

flying in a JoJo episode?

Which reminds me of this meme:

Was Jolyne turning into Anya? So many "shock" moments!

Btw,

Spoiler

I'd have assumed the children were more illusions. I'm glad I was not in Jolyne's place.

Usagi has a fight with her mother over not having cheese in her omelette and runs away from home, eventually ending up with Rei when Zoisite finishes his 'Requiem for a Princess', the music sheets coalesce into a monster and the monster begins to attack princesses all over Japan with a... song, and the Guardians with CGI notes.

Pretty sure they stole that idea from a Mario game or two.

It's strange to see Rei and Usagi get along as well as they do. It's not them being friends that is strange, but Rei had plenty of opportunities to berate Usagi in this one and she never did. It's unnatural, I tells ya.

Edit: Usagi starts crying when she learns that they're all from the Moon Kingdom, because it means her mother isn't her real mother. I shall award a bonus point for bringing it up. I'll deduct it when they inevitably come up with a contrived, silly explanation.

Anyway, how often do you guys think they had to re-shoot that scene?

I'd love to see an outtake reel for that episode. Looking all serious like that, talking to a plush toy, with that dialogue? Yeah, no. Rei looks like she's about to burst into laughter, just half a second later she's hard at work keeping the corners of her mouth from forming a big grin.

Edit: Usagi and Makoto transform into nurses to sneak into the hospital where Minako is after a minor car accident. I... I think that's it. I officially really enjoy watching this series. Bizzare, but there it is.

Minako's manager is incredibly... flamboyant and effeminate.

Okay, that's enough about this for now, I guess.

Edit: Minako thinks Makoto and Usagi figured out that she's Sailor V, but they're just there for an autograph. Judging by her reaction, I think that might mean she'll be serious Minako. Well, boo.

Watched Usagi Drop yesterday. That was a nice, down to earth anime, without any of the usual cringe bs. Shame there are only 11 episodes, I really wouldn't mind more of this.

Spy X Family 23: The End of Tennis

Anya shows up for only a few minutes but still manages to do several Anya faces.

[InsaneCommander]

Stone Ocean 30-31

We finally learn about some characters' past. Jolyne's pursuit slows down to a snail's pace.

There were several things I didn't understand:

 

Spoiler

1- Why did the racists freak out about Weather Report but not about Pucci? Are they racist only against white men that have a black father?

2- Why didn't Whitesnake defend Pucci by simply removing disks from Weather Report and Anasui? I'd never have approached Pucci because of that.

3- Why did Jolyne get envious of the snails? Does she want to "make sex with anyone who approaches"?

4- And why did her breasts turn into shells?

 

Spy x Family 23

The tennis tournament is over and they get the dangerous and shocking evidence that could reignite the war.

Usagi helps Minako escape from the hospital and her possessed manager. They end up in a store to buy new clothes for Minako because she got hers dirty in the escape, then the shop lady tells her that her fans are piling up outside. Usagi puts on Minako's old clothes, undoes the braids of her heir, puts on a hat and says that she'll distract them so Minako can escape. Minako wants to say something, but Usagi is off already.

Minako: "But... there's a back door. She really is an idiot."

Luna is a toy cat? Really?

Yes, of course she is. She's also really terrible CGI when having to go somewhere or an obvious hand puppet, depending on the episode budget and the scene. The most hilarious part is, when she's a plush toy, she really is a plush toy. When Ami first sees Luna, she talks to her, and Usagi comes to Ami and says: "I saw you talking to my plushie."

Stone Ocean 33-35

Pucci takes a tour and loses his patience. Jolyne and the others find out the gravity of the situation.
 

Spoiler

As Ermes points out, how stupid it is when you are running from the police, steal a car and put a child to drive it?

I guess Jotaro's disk was damaged after all. One punch instead of Ora Ora and the enemy runs away. But I don't blame him for not considering that someone who manipulates gravity can affect time somehow and notice what happens during the time stop. He had just arrived there.

KoTH is Texas Anime anyway, I hear.

Pucci gets what he wanted, although it may not be what he expected.
 

Spoiler

It was hilarious that he said knowing your destiny would bring peace and even so he couldn't accept he was dying.

As usual, I could point out lots of dumb moves by the heroes, but I'll limit myself to saying that Weather Report would be absurdly effective in the ocean even if whoever used it had no experience...

Irene and the new characters look close enough to the previous versions that even if they have different souls it kinds of invalidates what Pucci said. Destiny basically recreated them because they are "predetermined and not created by happenstance". Weren't those his words? I actually expected they would get involved and screw his vision even more.

to be honest, I'm a bit bummed out by the ending since this is pretty much a soft reboot of the franchise. It doesn't really feel as if anything up to this point matters now, since everyone is different now anyways.

Still, hope they will continue with Steel Ball Run now, even though it's probably going to have no connections to anything at all(?).

I agree. I don't like when things like this happen. However, if Steel Ball is a reboot anyway, it might not make much difference.

At least he can eat cherries without disconnecting the stem from the seeds.

Steel Ball Run is kind of a reboot, an alternate Johnny Joestar fights the pre- you know what, it's too weird to explain.

Started watching The Irregular at Magic High School, but not sure how much of that I will be able to bear, since I figured out this is some sort of cringe incest anime.

Muse no Shinzui. The first chapter looks promising, but it reminds me of Blue Period. I'll see where it goes.

Chainsaw Man 10: The Training Arc Begins (With the Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World????)

Sort of like one of those half episodes that somewhat reestablishes the show. An alcoholic appears and starts training Denji and Power by killing them repeatedly. Aki has to make another contract because the Fox Devil is mad at him.

Space Dandy 1: The Legend Begins And Ends.

I think this is making fun of 50's and 60's episodic sci-fi with a bunch of one-off episodes. It's great, just the sort of light-hearted stuff to go with after Narutaru, Chainsaw Man, and MADE IN HEAVEN's JoJo shenanigans. Also, it looks amazing.
