Cool special opening!!!

SEASON finale! Although this is dripping with Big O-style finality to the point that I don't even know how they can do a second season!

Midnight + 30 after the season finale of Fena: Pirate Princess!! Only Toonami!!

NOT EVERYTHING GOES TO F*CKING NETFLIX! 🤬

Truly a sad day for anime fans. Guess Daman Mills is it from here on out, IF we get more Frieza in anime. I guess we will in DBS Super Hero. At least Chris was able to voice him one last time in DBS Broly!

Yeah, that was about the ratings. Damn right I enjoyed the movie! I love over-the-top stuff like this!

I'm fully expecting FXX to be infiltrated by TV premieres of Disney+ action animation originals at some point in the near future. That includes shows like Marvel What If, Star Wars Visions, and these anime series.

If HBO Max has it, maybe Toonami will air it for its 25th Anniversary? They got away with Hellsing Ultimate Episode II, and that was just full of F-Bombs, so they could probably pull off Spawn with limited censorship.

Turns out I would have lost that bet. The Bat fell flat: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-10-16-2021-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Well, at least Fena and Batman Ninja made the Top 50. But that girl power went bye bye!

The Bat kinda fell flat this week, but these movies WERE older. Next week it's Fena finale and a 4-hour Halloween-themed Batman epic from 2021 that got a 🍅100% on Rotten Tomatoes! Bring It On!

Finally caught most of the movie in pieces over the past few days. Wish I hadn't fallen asleep during it, because it really was DAMN good! So disgusted with myself! Oddly enough, ANN didn't review this movie, but they DO have an entry for it, since it technically IS anime: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20384 I guess I'll have to hit up IMDB for a proper review of this thing. But in the meantime, I found something interesting: this movie inspired a manga. Does that mean we may get a sequel someday? Oh please, Japan, oh please... How 'bout Rotten Tomatoes? 🍅82% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_ninja

November would be a pretty good time to air Season 2, Toonami! Call me crazy, but I think the Sony-Funi-Roll alliance may help somewhat.

Well, then how does Netflix have Gundam on lockdown? There is ample evidence that they have JOJO on lockdown, but I can't see any evidence of Gundam being on lockdown.

Sale final? Netflix has gotten random Gundam shows in the past but usually only AFTER they air on Toonami! Netflix may have "f**k you" money, but they're NOT omnipotent!

Eh, they had to set up the "million monkeys mecha" gag somehow!

Or perhaps Yamato 2199/2202? It's damn near mysterious THAT hasn't shown up on Toonami yet. A bona fide space opera like that would be great in a mid-block slot, and Food Wars! won't last THAT much longer. Gundam isn't exactly "space opera" subgenre; it's "Real Robot." Elements of the same but not quite the same. Never thought we'd be at the point where DC animated movies seem to be easier to acquire than actual anime series, but here we are.

Excuse me, sir! I'm a "Xennial," and proud of it! 😉 But seriously, my 40-year old ass can't help but fall asleep sometimes during Toonami no matter how awesome the shows are. Thank God for DVR! The ratings breakdowns have shown that very few "Boomers" (50+) actually watch the block. They're much more likely to watch ESPN, Fox News, or whatever trash Hallmark is playing. Toonami's chief viewership is still 18-49.

Dammit, I absolutely HATE that I couldn't stay up for this movie! It IS on my DVR though, as is Red Hood. The sacrificial lamb? The first season of SAO-Alicization War of Underworld.

I think Gorilla Grodd is Beau Billingslea?

Oh look. Bane is here too--and he's a Sumo wrestler!?

So let me get this straight: I'm watching the Joker using a giant robot to throw giant Shurikens at the Batmobile!? Yep, this is Toonami alright!

The Batmobile--in Feudal Japan!?

Alfred looks about the same!

It makes sense if it happened after Dark Knight Rises?

Why the hell would Batman care what Poison Ivy thinks!?
