Your stand doesn't count
Shamalayan twist: There is a hole cut out of that body pillow.
Ah it's a good thing that I binge watched all previous episodes recently.
I wasn't a fan of the show when I was a child, but after finally giving the show another chance I fecking love it.
How was I sleeping on this show for all these years I'll never know.

My ex and I dated for 14 months I'm not a robot.
What trash waifus amirite toonami gaf,
they should have gotten a Hisoka and Kurapica pillows i bet the girls will be more receptive
(They would still walk away and never talk to you)
Anime is way, waaaay more niche than manga in Japan, because of its association with "otaku". (Note that calling someone an "otaku" in Japan isn't like calling them a nerd, closer to calling them a neckbeard.)
Unless you're running off a big property, you basically have to lewd it up to appeal to that otaku crowd. It's difficult to make a profit otherwise. That's also disc sets tend to be so overpriced, and why there's so many generic crap series every season. Anime is not made for the general Japanese population, and has little to do with what normal Japanese people like.
In comparison, manga is popular across all demographics and much cheaper to make, so you get a bigger variety of ideas and less forced lewding. Especially in seinen and josei. (cf. science fiction books vs. science fiction movies)

Just get Jotaro and Kakyoin pillows the ladies love them.
For some reason, this sounds like the opposite of the US where more people will probably be familiar with the movie/tv version compared to the books/original source material. Example: Most people have seen the Marvel movies, but I'm sure a good amount (myself included) never read the original comics, & some average movie goers might consider those who did the more "nerdy" of the bunch. Or hell, for a long time, I had no idea movies like the Godfather & Jurassic Park were based on books.
& there's also the fact they try to market some blu-rays as the "uncensored" version so that way, they can convince more fans to buy the expensive sets for shows they might've already seen on tv. But everything else you said makes perfect sense/I agree with.

"This week, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure concludes, as does Sandwhale and Me's reign of terror over DVR recordings across the nation. Also, we talk about Beerus's crushing defeat, Remember the Titans, the wendigo from Hannibal, obvious music cues, New Age flim-flammery, bullet-deflecting oil, and looting the corpses at the Alamo."
tbh after this week i think we're gonna start recording earlier if possible
It makes sense for manga to be more popular in Japan, they commute everywhere, and like Europe, don't associate comics with kids. So you have a lot of free time to read something while you're riding a bus or train, and since they're cheap to make like books, there's probably some series out there that appeals to you.
(There's a manga about daytime stock trading!)

That's a clever name for a Stand, The Ex!

I keep forgetting Sting's music used to be cool. I think after the first solo album it's just down hill from there.
The Stand called The Police is only effective against minorities.
With the Stand ability "No Angel", it has no consequences

Aww man that's fucking horrible. We would have heard more of him in the upcoming One Piece arc as Sengoku. He had such a beautiful voice. I can't believe he passed. May he rest in piece.
My stand is better than your stand. I always win.

WHAT? Damn...he was one of my fave Funi VAs.
It repeats saying: Fuck cancer.
RIP, King Bradley and Sengoku.
Damn, both the original Japanese and English VAs for Sengoku passed away

Wow, that sucks.
On another note, I watched Boruto episode 3, and I realized that this series is actually doing what people say Naruto should have done in retrospect: it's spending episodes focusing on the side cast early on and establishing character relationships.

Damn.... And I was just looking at his voice-over roles the other day, being glad to have someone like him still around
I loved his performance as Bradly and other characters when I recognized him. Will be missed.
Damn, that's a huge bummer. Such a great voice, condolences to his family & friends.
...meanwhile, holy crap, I really need to go back & finish Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei. I suddenly had the urge to go back & watch some of the OPs and DAAMMMNNN I forgot how just unique they are (I put two of them back on my phone to listen to them). Especially since they seem to pull a Jojo & hint at future events.

The fixes konami is doing helped Super Bomberman R a lot. It's not gonna make my top 5 bomberman games but its still an incredibly fun entry with some clever new ideas and getting tons of free new/good content.
I saw someone online named Bdubs, was wondering if it was you.
Nope, should I? Is it that good?
