  1. Nah, and this pretty much confirms that MegaloBox isn't getting a rerun anytime soon unless they get the 4 AM hour back, which MIGHT not be so far-fetched once we get past the DST changeover on March 9/10. Currently Megalo has 5 episodes left so it's scheduled to end on March 23/24. I guess that means I get its finale for my birthday!! But after that, regaining the 4 AM hour with Megalo/Gundam IBO back-to-back MIGHT not be THAT far-fetched. At this point, Gundam IBO's rerun has 18 episodes left so they COULD roll with it through early summer before losing the rights. At this point, a jaded Gundam fan can only hope... But as for tonight, DAMN am I looking forward to that Gundam movie in a theater!! Also, I'll be shocked if we don't get Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 to replace MegaloBox on March 30th.
  2. Well, it is official. I got on my on-screen up and it does indeed say, for March 3rd "To You In 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1". What's really funny is ELSEWHERE on Adult Swim, they still think Adventure Time, Tigtone, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force are airing on weeknights, when they've been replaced by Samurai Jack (yay!), American Dad, and The Boondocks.
  3. Toonami just keeps kicking ass and taking names in trending! Megalobox goes 7 Rounds out of 8! http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-february-16-17-2019/ United States Trends: Toonami/#Toonami [#10] #MegaloBox [#10] #JoJosBizarreAdventure [#9] Koichi (From JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) [#20] #BlackClover [#10] #HunterXHunter [#3] Pitou (From Hunter x Hunter) [#14] #Shippuden [#7]
  4. SPOILER ALERT if you read that. You'll read about something called... ...and at that point I just had to close the article!
  5. BUMP: As Gundam IBO Season 2 has been pulled, it has been removed from this list.
  6. Asta has lost some of his ability and needs to get it back. Or, at least that's how it seemed to me.
  7. Damn, but if that's the case, how far into the year will it even come out? 50 episodes is next year. I'm thinking June myself. That would be around the time Megalobox's replacement would end if it's Mob Psycho 100 Season 2. UNLESS it gets a weeknight run, but they wouldn't do that, right? And what's really scary is if it does simply get IBO'ed and cut off in the middle of its run when Season 3 Part 2 is available, without a regular rerun to end the night, Shippuden would end up at 3:30 AM. Are we ready for that?
  8. Alright, just for posterity's sake I guess I'll continue my review of the edits to 7-12 and how well they improved on or fell short of the OVAs: 7. Ends after the first major action, but at least not on a cliffhanger. Grade: "B". 8. Ends during the wreckage exploration mini-arc, but it would have been better of if it had just continued. Grade: "C+" 9. I've gotta hand it to the Re:0096 editing crew, they went all out to make sure this episode stood out, along with using the original ending of OVA 3 as a special ending theme. It also ends exactly as the OVA ends, but did it do a MUCH better job than the OVA? I can't really say so, since the OVA also came packaged with a recap short which actually included the guitar solo of "Merry Go Round" over the main action. Grade: "A-". 10. There IS some action right at the beginning, but this episode still has . A pretty bad edit. Grade: "C-". 11. This contains the major action of the middle 3rd of the OVA, but ends on a semi-cliffhanger. Grade "C+". 12. Well, at least it ends the same way as the 4th OVA. Grade: "B". My review of the edits of 13-22 coming up tomorrow!!
  9. I just checked and looked and sadly you're right. Well, hopefully its final episode gets a promo. That would be a nice compromise. As for Sword Art: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/sword-art-online-alicization/episodes-1-2/.138142 Grade: "B+". Not sure if that's for the hour-long special combined with this episode or just this episode, but the review pretty much harps on this episode. It's a little slow, I'll admit, but I agree, and can hardly wait for Episode 3!
  10. Oh yeah, I get it--because the brown LOG comes OUT your butt!
  11. So that means we won't even see Megalobox topicals for its last 5 episodes? Or has it been "grandfathered in?"
  12. Holy stinking Super-Crap they DID actually address that!! ON to the next chall...oh. Guess THESE guys will end up showing up in the last 2 episodes, right?? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-37/.121781 Grade: "B+". Yeah, that's lowballing it worse than I imagined! Should have been AT LEAST an "A". ON to SAO3!
  13. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-18/.119655 Grade: "B-". I'll admit I was intrigued, but I find this a bit generous. It IS neat that the first half of the episode co-opted a bonus OVA that came packaged with the Boruto movie. ON TO THE MOST ANTICIPATED MHA in my President's Day "rewatch!"
  14. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-98/.118603 Grade: "B". I might have gone a notch higher, but for the most part, I agree. Bye bye, "Niners!" Hardly knew ya.
  15. Oh, OBVIOUSLY it's because some movies use multiple theaters and Tuesday night is a good night to cut down to one. Plus with Monday being Presidents' Day, it makes sense for the dual theater runs for the current blockbuster (probably Alita: Battle Angel) to go through the day on Monday. There's irony for you: at most theaters it's probably replacing a manga adaptation! Also, here's what you need to know before you go: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/advertorial/2019-01-31/what-you-need-to-know-before-watching-gundam-nt/.142483
  16. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-57/.139255 Grade: "B". That damn Midnight Sun...
  17. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-diamond-is-unbreakable/episode-23/.106078 Grade: "B+". Believe it or not, Koichi is voiced by Zach Aguilar, so Reverb Act 3 is probably just his more normal Genos/Colt voice.
  18. http://www.toonamisquad.com/toonami-to-start-attack-on-titan-over-from-episode-1-season-1-starting-march-2nd/ Like, REALLY!? Gundam fans can't seem to catch a break. Well, at least we've got our Unicorn continuation movie NT on the big screen this Tuesday night! [now come on origin] Disclaimer: not yet corroborated anywhere else but Toonami Squad. I suppose it's possible they could still pull a 180 and announce something different.
  19. Well if they're gonna cut down on topicals, some nice touches, such as acknowledging mid-season/season/series finales like they did with One-Punch Man and I believe with Attack On Titan Season 2. We didn't hear that with AOT Season 3A or Mob Psycho Season 1. Maybe we will with Megalobox and eventually AOT Season 3B?
  20. I thought MHA's topicals were flawed from the beginning when they said "on the next all-new episode..." when almost everyone knew the dub of that show was NOT new since it was a FUNimation broadcast dub/"simul-dub." But I question the timing of this. It seems it would have been better to finish out Season 2, do a long-form blowout promo for the Season 3 premiere, then relegate it to bumpers and schedule promos.
  21. If you've never edited videos, yes it's a very time-consuming job, on the level of a minute for each second of screen time. But yeah, I could see SAO: Alicization move up to 11:30 and Mob Psycho 100 return at Midnight with season 2. Meanwhile MHA would follow that and Bo may fall all the way to 2:30 to lead-in to Shippuden...
  22. I think it indicates that Bo and MHA may move down soon, like as soon as Megalobox is over. Hopefully MHA will at least get a Season 3 long-form promo!
  23. Damn, I fell asleep before the penultimate episode (to date) of AOT: "#48: Bystander." But I just watched it with the West Coast! Well, next week, the Battle for Humanity ends...for now!
