Toonami Night Review: Snowy Night of Fright and Delight.

Well last week was the second run of the new 5 and half hour run of Toonami, a new lineup that some watchers are absolutely loving, or hating because they’ll miss shows due to their conflicting schedules. Fortunately for me, my work schedule doesn’t extend over 9 PM, so I don’t have to worry about being late. However, that sure didn’t stop the snow shower that night from interfering. During the commercial break of Outlaw Star, my cable connection was lost, and wouldn’t back until 10 in the morning.

Fortunately I was prepared and quickly logged into SlingTV, missing only a little bit of the show but got to see the awesome ending. But enough about the snowy weather, let’s talk about last week’s run. As I said before, it was the second run of the new lineup. And like the last one, it was just as great. But unlike the last one, we had a new trippy music video, and boy was it quite the acid trip. Can’t remember if we had any Hot Pocket Dings last week though, But I’m sure we will during tonight’s run. Man, can’t believe it’s Saturday already, man how the weeks go by fast these days.

Anyway, we started last week’s run with delight and fright with the usual hour of Dragon Ball. The delight being Baby Pan being adorable, and the Pilaf Gang being hilarious as usual on Dragon Ball Super. Then came the fright on DBZ Kai, with Evil Buu being terrifying as all hell in his slaughter, bringing the stakes higher for our heroes. After the power hour of Dragon Ball was Black Clover, which was okay, not going to judge it yet. Then after that was Stardust Crusaders, which was pretty much the highlight of the night, with JoJo finally giving the jerk Dan the beat down of the century.

Following that we had some down time on Gundam IBO before going into Hunter x Hunter, starting off its next arc, the Chimera Ant Arc, which looks to be quite ominous of things to come. After that bit of fright came more delight in the form of Lupin the Third, with Lupin getting captured by a Japanese version of Sherlock Holmes, leaving Fujiko to once again shine as she rescues him and humiliates the detective. We then move onto heist out of Die Hard but in space in Outlaw Star, before then moving on to a fitting episode of Cowboy Bebop for the winter season.

We then ended the night with one more bit of fright on Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG, in the form of a government conspiracy/cover up being discovered by Togusa. And that about sums up last week’s run. Now to end the end with the usual, more in depth recap of last week’s shows. Well not too in depth, just enough to get the picture across. Plus I need to get better at summarizing things anyway without putting so much detail. But enough babbling, on with the recap!

Dragon Ball Super: Goku begins having trouble with his new level in power and needs to take a break from training, and what better way to do so than to look after your son’s baby daughter while he and Videl are out to a job interview. Meanwhile, the Pilaf Gang tries to seek vengeance on Goku once again, this time with a new mech suit. Unfortunately for them, baby Pan turns out to be more than a handful, having super strength and already the ability to fly! And into space no less! Indeed, this girl has quite the stellar future ahead of her.

DBZ Kai: We’re introduced to Evil Buu, who devours the Good Buu, gruesomely kills a guy, and manages to find the Lookout. Fortunately Piccolo manages to buy some time for Krillin to take Goten and Trunks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train them faster, but at the cost of the human race. But hey, with the Dragon Balls they can wish mankind back to life, provided that they succeed in defeating Evil Buu.

Black Clover: We’re given a flashback about Asta’s and Yuno’s childhood, and how they came to be they way they are, before returning to the present where Asta kicks the rogue mage knight’s ass with his newfound power. Whether that power is really black magic or something else remains to be seen.

Stardust Crusaders: After trying to figure out which one is the real enemy Stand, Kakyoin manages to locate it and send it packing. With it gone, Old Joestar uses his Stand to eradicate the flesh buds within his head, saving his life just in time. Meanwhile, Dan of Steel realizes he’s in deep shit, and JoJo knows as well. After his Stand prevents Dan’s Stand from getting into his head, JoJo proceeds to crush the man’s leg and arm, causing the latter to beg for mercy.

However, after JoJo decides to spare him, Dan tries to use his Stand on a nearby little girl, intending to hold her hostage against JoJo while he gets up to stab him. Unfortunately for him, Kakyoin’s Stand still managed to hold onto his Stand, keeping both it and him still. Knowing this all along, JoJo never intended to spare Dan’s life, and begins making the bastard pay the debt he had for all the humiliation he had put him through.

And paid Dan of Steel did, not with cash, but with his life as JoJo has his Stand beat the living shit out of him with a barrage of punches that sends him crashing into a nearby building. Again, this was truly the highlight of last week’s run, and me and everyone else can agree how satisfying it was to watch. Truly one of the best scenes of this show.

Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans: As things begin to settle down on Earth, McGillis offers Orga a deal for Tekkadan to become the future rulers of Mars in exchange for aiding him in his power plays with Rustal. As Orga thinks about the offer and shares it with the others, Takaki decides to leave Tekkadan, which Orga accepts and even offers to find someone to hire him so Takaki and can continue living on Earth to support his little sister Fuka. 

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Makanai asks Kudelia to become his successor, as he wants to pass his political connections and legacy onto someone before he dies. While he may have survived the recent attack on his life, his recovery has given him time to think, and the old man believes his time may soon come to an end in the near future. After taking some time to ponder over his offer, Kudelia decides to turn down his offer, and begins heading off with Tekkadan back to Mars.

Hunter x Hunter: After using Accompany to teleport to the player they thing is Ging, Gon and Killua meet instead Ging’s former student, Kite, who manages to save them in time from a killer bug called a Chimera Ant. After finding a place to sit down and eat, Kite tells Gon how he met his father and more about his old teacher. He even offers the young hunter Ging’s location, but Gon turns him down, wanting to find him on his own. Happy with his response, Kite then goes on to talk more about the old man.

Meanwhile, a pregnant human-sized Chimera Ant Queen is feeding on a lot of fish to regain her strength, as well as prepare herself to give birth to a King. To quote an old saying, “I have a bad feeling about this.”

Lupin the Third: Believing Fujiko to be kidnapped and held ransom by a Japanese crime lord, Lupin quickly flies to Japan, and snatches an antique to pay it off. However, after bringing the doll to the hotel, Lupin discovers Fujiko to be just fine, apparently the whole being a bet she had with Goemon to see if the former could pull it off. However, Lupin reveals that Goemon is still in Italy, and then it’s revealed that this Goemon is in fact Akechi Holmes in disguise! Apparently this was all a trap set up by the detective, and both Lupin and Fujiko are arrested by the hotel guests who are actually police officers.

Fujiko manages to escape, but Akechi let’s her go, believing her to be small fry and not that much trouble without Lupin. Unfortunately for the smug detective, he soon learns a harsh lesson about underestimating the woman Lupin loves. And with a disguise, some misdirections, as well as a little help from Jigen, Fujiko manages to rescue Lupin from Inspector Zenigata and Akechi. With the egotistical detective humiliated, Fujiko drives off with Lupin into the sunset, with a romantic view of Mt. Fuji in the distance.

Naruto Shippuden: We continue with another flashback, this time with young Naruto being chased by Tsunade and the other Lead Ninja, who believe he’s a carrier for virus that’s supposedly going around.

Outlaw Star: While performing a transport job, Gene, Jim, and Melfina find themselves held hostage as the advertising ship they were pushing latches onto them, revealing to itself to be carrying a bomb. The one behind this turns out to be a terrorist calling himself Crackerjack, who begins threatening the government to give into their demands for an independent Heifong, or he’ll detonate the bomb killing the hostage.

In the end, Gene manages to defuse the bomb, while Aisha and Suzuka discover that Crackerjack and his men are in fact thieves, having set up the whole thing just to steal a whole lot of jewels. But they’re soon quickly dealt with, as Suzuka and Aisha take out the thieves, and Crackerjack gets punched out by Gene crashing in with the Outlaw Star.

Cowboy Bebop: After cleaning out the crew’s safe, Faye leaves the Bebop and ends up on Callisto, where she encounters Gren at a Jazz club. While Jet goes after her to get the money back, Spike heads off to look into leads regarding his ex-girlfriend, Julia. However, he soon encounters Vicious and gets shot, around the same time Faye discovers a startling secret about Gren.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG: While investigating a homicide a prime suspect involved in trying to blackmail the Ministry of Energy, Togusa and the dead man’s fiancée, Asagi, eventually discover a secret excavation of an old nuclear plant by an unknown party. They’re soon chased by two men in military grade mech suits, but are soon saved by a Tachikoma takes them down.

After managing to get into contact with Section 9, an investigation into the facility is started. However, when Togusa tries to contact Asagi, the woman vanishes, possibly having been abducted by mysterious men in black suits that had been watching them from behind the scenes.

And that’s a wrap for the recap, as well as the end for the review. Tonight will be the last regular run of Toonami of 2017, as the next two weeks will be marathons of Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball Super to end the year on. So with that said, I’m looking forward seeing to what’s in store for us on our favorite shows, and what kind of note we’ll be left on each of them until the New Year.

See you guys tonight for Toonami and Stay Gold!

P.S. Still haven’t seen the new Star Wars movie yet, but I’m so looking forward to seeing it next week!
