Would be a great, different direction for the "mecha" show on the block to go in with only 4 episodes left of Gundam IBO. That's not to say that I wouldn't mind a TV edit of Thunderbolt also showing up on the block while Franxx is still airing. That or Twilight Axis; it's presented in 3-minute minisodes so you wouldn't even need to use a timeslot!

So did the finale air this past Saturday, or is that next week? It comes/came out on Sunday in Japan, right? Which means not next week since that would be April 1, and the new show, right? Because if it aired this past Saturday, then the sub of the show ended on my birthday, and that's pretty cool! EDIT, YES, it did conclude on my birthday! Too bad that's a present I won't be opening for a year and change!

Even if we DO get TGS3 a.k.a. TG:Re, no WAY that would be the big "get", but to be fair, Re:Zero wouldn't even be the big "get". That would have to be FLCL despite the fact that it's only 12 episodes. Last year's big "get" was only 10 (Samurai Jack Season 5), though you could argue the runner-up was Dragon Ball Super.

Ummmm, HOW exactly could this cause a seizure!?!

I think we've seen something like this before. Not on Toonami, but on Adult Swim... So, Black Clover, was this a cheeky tribute? BTW, it's a hard concept to get, but there IS a continuum between "greatest thing EVAR" and "pants-shittingly terrible." Black Clover falls smack dab in the middle. It's just OK.

So Darling In The Franxx?

Slenderman got a "?" back in 2012...

I didn't notice anything on DirecTV...

so NOW next week it's back to Canon, right??

BANG. LATER!

Honestly not sure when Mikazuki found time to do that... This week's review is a bit confusing. It has glowing language that seems to applaud the show for its nuance but then it gives it a "B+": https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-46/.113009

Wet nightmare? What the hell is that? When you get scared to death and still soak the sheets!? I don't even know how it's possible except for in-dream Stockholm Syndrome! Goda is an ass though!

On to the last legacy show left, unless you count Space Dandy, GITS!

I lust after cell plugs. This would be the magnetic end of me...

BANG.

What service do y'all have? And how long did the glitch last? Also, here's what ANN thought of this episode: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-15/.126482 TL,DR: Rating "B+". Seems to show promise!!

Indeed!!!

Well, that's rather neat! Of course this is SUNDAY night entertainment!

Yeah, or just the Gundam thread like I always do? But I'll let it slide if whomever started this thread calls it "Page 15" instead of "Ep 15!"

Well darn. Somehow this slipped my mind. And it's my birthday. Well, whatever.

WELL, to be fair, I just rewatched Episode #44, and it DID kind of hint at that possible outcome. At the end of this episode (#45), Shino failed in his mission to take out Rustal and show Tekkadan and Gundam Bael's power to Gjallarhorn. McGillis' motivation in doing that was to convince the rest of Gjallarhorn to come off the sideline of neutrality and to obey him, Agnika Kaieru, and Bael. But assuming that doesn't work, McGillis may just have to go for broke and bring about the "old order" by somehow setting up an awakening of the Mobile Armors on Earth and using Bael (and Tekkadan's Gundams) to protect Earth from the newly awakened overwhelming threat! But I guess we'll find out which direction this will go in in just 5 episodes! For the sake of this series I kinda hope the April Fool's Day stunt waits until 1 AM!

I'm less interested in LBGTQ implications than I am the fact that this would seem to mark Toonami's return to "girl power" shows with strong female protagonists outside of Ghost In The Shell. One could argue it was mostly a boys' club in 2016 and 2017, though AOT and IBO had some strong female supporting characters. FLCL 2/3 seem like they will "lean female" and maybe if we get Re:Zero or Sailor Moon Crystal to go along with that, the "girl power" sub-block might return!

No freaking way that's gonna be a simul-dub, and certainly NOT on 4/7! Now could we see it this summer or fall? Hell yeah!

On SUNDAY night? That would certainly be interesting, but I don't see that coming. So far the only action animation to air in that timeslot is Season 5 of Samurai Jack!

I think there is supposed to be an IBO movie. If the rest of the series doesn't have more Mobile Armors running amok on Earth and taking out massive buttloads of people, there's always room for that in the movie!
