I Like the dub, but the original, Grim comming in like "Arrancar Sexta, Grimmjow" will always be amazing

Jey R

like somebody else said, you’re really insufferable. touch some grass

Nina

it’s literally not that deep

All base arrancar look humanoid. One of the tell-tell sign if they're Vasto Lordes is how they look when they release their sword! Like I said last week (i'll copy paste from last week): "There's three types of Menos Grande Hollows. All of them become an arrancar when they tear off their mask in order to get Shinigami/Soul Reaper powers, and get stronger due to this. A) Gillian: "A captain's class (aka assistant captain rank and above) shouldn't have much trouble taking it down." B) Adjuchas: "A little smaller and less numerous than Gillian. But they are intelligent and their fighting ability is several times that of 'Gillian'." C) Vasto Lordes: "Extremely small, about the same size as a human. It is said that there are only a few of them in the entire region of Heuco Mundo. But let's be clear. The combat capability of this "Vasto Lordes" class is superior to that of a captain level!" It should be noted that the kanji used for captain in these statements is 隊長格, which is captain level and not captain rank (隊長). Renji, Iba, Hisagi, and other assistant captains in Soul Society arc were noted to being 隊長格, captain level, in the manga, as almost all of the assistant captains were as well during that arc. So to make it clearer: Normally (so barring unique exceptions), Gillian hollows are fodder for Assistant captains, Adjuchas hollows are much stronger than that, and Vasto Lordes hollows are stronger than assistant captains. That is before the increase in strength from Hogyoku arrancar process, as these hollows would become even stronger..."

And the Rebuilds

Dude that’s common knowledge. Their lack of funds led to the clip show type finale episodes that got Gainax and Anno tons of hate, including death threats and the like. End of Evangelion was made after the initial backlash and includes some of the threatening letters in the film itself.

Dooly

I 100% agree, I’ve been watching their uncuts synced to the original VA. Shinji’s screams hit different in Japanese

Tom B

They post a schedule weekly on their website, pre sure they don’t mention future reactions until they finish a series where they spin a wheel for the next show with recommendations from themselves and patrons

Kal Kal

That’s not that crazy tbh. If they miss stuff, they miss it 🤷🏽‍♂️not a big deal like ur making it out to be.

#SundayRundown you have to realise the difference in power between Rukia and the lieutenants Renji , Momo etc . and Ikkaku/Yumichika are lieutenant level . they touched upon it before.

Tafadzwa manzini

#SundayRundown Both Ikkaku and Yumichika are at least lieutenant-level despite their ranks. Per the Soul Society arc, Ikkaku is 3rd seat because Yachiru is the number 2 of squad 11, and Yumichika is 5th seat because he doesn't like the number 4, and Ikkaku is 3rd. Remember they both matched/beat other lieutenants or were described by others as being on that level. I get the confusion with the Arrancar levels -- partly because following Toshiro's statement of Vasto Lordes-Arrancar outmatching captains, it cuts to Aizen and his posse of 20 arrancar. But at this point we don't really know how strong anyone is. Just keep in mind that Arrancar in general should be very difficult to deal with since they are hollows w/ shinigami powers, vs. your ordinary shinigami. Which is why Soul Society might send lieutenant-level and above people to Karakura town in the first place (regardless of Renji's explanation about everyone just tagging along).

KaydenC

There’s no comparison. The original voice actors for Eva are iconic. Kotono Mitsuishi’s Misato is unmatched. Same with other seiyuu, though the original ADV dub cast did well with the characters. Better than Netflix’s attempt at least.

Dooly

I for one laughed at the "hollowgram" joke Suraj lol AND, in defense of the Rangiku/Orihime scene, it is at least very true to Rangiku's character lol it would've been uncharacteristic of her to cover up in the moment. When has she ever cared to be modest and classy in front of others? So, of course, in this private moment with Orihime I think it makes sense for her to not cover up, and I fully support Kubo's decision to give us a more, umm... candid, view of it all lol. And as someone already mentioned, Di Roy was not a Vasto Lorde, nor are many of the top ranked arrancar actually. Also, Vasto Lordes being "stronger than a captain" does not mean that they are stronger than all captains. Just something to keep in mind.

A. P.

Ya I think the anime said something about Sora taking her away from their parents but not as much detail. But ya it wasn't clear in the anime, so I just wanted to help out and let them know.

Christy

Yeah though i think the anime cut that out, which is why they didn't know. Regarding her relatives, they only give her money if she gets good grades in school....kind of an asshole family all around really, except Sora may he rest in peace.

Shockzz1234

That scene of Rangiku tryna seduce Ichigo will always be hilarious. Love the Rangiku fan service. My favorite character Grimmjow pulled up, he's too cold. Can't wait till you guys see more of him. @Chris yes Ikkaku's VA is Vic Mignogna. You can really hear Edward Elric when he was yelling lmao. @Suraj yep Edrad (arrancar that Ikkaku's fighting) has the same VA as the Raikage. Y'all the goats of pointing out the VA's

Kayso

Ulquiorra 🦇 > Grimmjow 🐈‍⬛

AttackRunRepeat

i feel ya as im waiting for thursday too. glad the day is basically over (8pm here in the states) so i can go to sleep instead of waiting with anticipation. the best part of waking up, and is buffy with a cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup......of lemongrass and elderberry tea. mmm mmmm. so excited to start season 5 tomorrow!

rickie woodson

Things that don't matter at all lmao

Brakthir

Bro I've seen you on so many random different Patreon comments from other creators and you are always the most insufferable elitist tool.

Brakthir

Damn idk why I thought it was thursday and I was boutta watch YJ ):

SlyMorris

#SundayRundown Just to make something clear, it seems you guys are confused a bit about Di Roy. Di Roy isn't a Vasto Lorde turned Arrancar. He is an Adjuchas turned Arrancar—a completely different power level compared to Vasto Lorde Arrancars.

Charlie

Thanks for the correction, I guess it’s a good thing tho that we only care abt the top 10. Never seen ppl talk about ones like DRoy or Shawlong.

BlakStatik23

Lol so what’s your point?

Alex

Where does it say this? In all my years as an Eva fans I've always heard this but no actual interview has been presented to me to show this to me

bondbond53

Please add this to sunday rundown surj! important info.

Charlie

If there’s one show I’d like a podcast type discussion about after finishing (similar to their Bojack Pod) it’s Evangelion Have honestly adored the couch’s discussions and their willingness to be vulnerable and ask questions Hope End of Evangelion gave them a sense of… closure 😅

space1999

No offense guys especially to the one to the very right but you guys honestly need the recap. The moments you guys talk you easily miss key details so it is the most ironic thing you are complaining about the very thing that would help you. For example, the one on the right shouted before Toshiro finished what he was saying and because of so she thought that he said "stronger than soul reapers" but he actually said "stronger than soul reaper captains". She would've caught this but spent the time complaining

Aus

We all started somewhere didn't we?

AttackRunRepeat

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE EVANGELION FINAL EPISODES: The studio literally ran out of money. That's why they're this way.

V. R.

BLEACH THE MOVIE: Memories Of Nobody “Now that you’ve completed the Soul Society arc, and met all the initial characters, it’s the perfect time to watch the first ‘BLEACH’ movie!”…is what I would’ve said back then, if not for one detail. The movie came out during the Bount arc, with the canon story being left off after Soul Society. However, the plot of the film includes Rukia using her zanpakuto powers with abandon, which hadn’t happened yet in the show. So anime-only’s were watching a filler arc in which Rukia’s powers still hadn’t returned, then saw a movie where she was suddenly releasing her sword like it wasn’t even a big deal. Now that you’ve seen her zanpakuto, you are free to react to this first film; and you ABSOLUTELY should! I recommend you avoid looking up the other films for now, because the 4th one...has an episode that leads right into it, and if you avoid spoiling the title for yourself, it'll be a nice surprise. Not a big deal though.

Nabeshin

I'm glad someone pointed this out. I don't think the dub is any worse than the sub, quite honestly. I watched the entire series in sub, and I STILL get confused when it gets to the arrancar explanation. 😛

Normies continue to be anime noobs. Only anime they have behind their belts are a few of the most mainstream anime.

L.C.

#SundayRundown So because of Sode no Shirayuku being revealed in this episode here's some fun facts! Sode no Shirayuki translates to Sleeves of White Snow, the attack she used, Some no Mai Tsukishiro, translates to First Dance White Moon. Now some poll data, as Tite Kubo put out several calls for readers to vote on thier favorite characters, zanpaktos, and fights. Sode no Shirayuki was ranked the second most popular zanpakto in the first zanpakto poll, and then most popular in the second zanpakto poll. Speaking of popularity Rukia herself was voted as the most popular character for the seventh and tenth character popularity poll, second most popular in the first, second, and fourth as well as third place on the third. Rukia's bout with D-Roy was ranked 47th out of every fight in the series.

Annah Suarez-Domit

yeah the fan service involving orihime and rangiku is way too much lol. love grimmjow though and rukia’s shikai ❤️

Lila A

Oh man. The couch absolutely freaking out and ragging on the fanservice scene in Bleach 116 was fantastic and the fact it was followed up by Navi looking up Orihime/Rangiku fanfiction just slayed me.

Annah Suarez-Domit

That applies to the Espada. Arrancars from 11 onward are numbered by their birth order.

Burntberries

Can someone tell me where bleach at?

Mikale Farr

Man, 118 bout to be heat. bro went off

Philly The Kid

Congratulations on almost finishing NGE, if you havent watched the recap movies yet would it be possible for you all to watch them in the original Japanese? Since you watched the whole show dubbed it would be cool to see how you think the original VA's compare (Also you would finally hear baka shinji)

Tom B

That one week fucked us. Woulda had 118 today.

MarkyO

I never knew that. Makes sense now, can see where they got the idea.

M.

man i wish the bleach gods woulda had it so u guys watched 117 and 118 together

windextor89 .

#SundayRundown They're not all Vasto Lorde. Any hollow (Gillian, Adjuchas, Vasto Lorde) can transform into an arrancar. Vasto Lorde have a human form BEFORE being transformed into arrancars. But all of them would have a somewhat human form after being transformed. Some are bigger than humans like Yammy and Grand Fisher who are both arrancars, but Grand Fisher was not a Vasto Lorde prior to becoming an arrancar, Yammy we don't know yet at this point. The anime (particularly the dub) does not do a good job at phrasing this.

M.

oh man next week is gonna be the HYPE TRAIN

Oda Dam

Fun facts the reason why people in anime get a nosebleed when they are turned on is because it symbolizes the blood rushing to your head.

CodePhoenix13

Grimmjow <3

Kristin Dominguez

The Arrancars are in numerical order and as the number goes down they get stronger. Mainly the top 10 are the ones to watch out for, those are the ones I can truly say are Vasto Lorde level. Ikkaku is one of my favorite Lieutenants so I’m glad he gets a good ass fight at this point. Grimmjow is one of the fan favorite characters and you’ll begin to see why.

BlakStatik23

She was abused by her parents and later by school girls who would make fun of and cut her hair 😡

ispeckz--

Orihime's parents were abusive. Her brother took her away from them when he was old enough. I believe now she has a distantly related aunt who lives farther away who helps her financially.

Christy

For evangelion ep 25 and 26 is what's going on in the mind and the movie is what's actually going on

Its ame mario

Bleach makes Wednesdays the best day 🙏🏽💙

Zay

Is there a master list anywhere of everything the Normies are currently reacting to and what is coming next? Do they know what movies/series they'll be doing in the near future?

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

I need whatever Kubo was smoking when he wrote the second half of that Rangiku and Orihime scene.

Zangetsu

I get so excited for this arc in Bleach man let's go 😭
