Countdown time!

Maybe not counting on it, but yeah they probably are hoping for that to happen. Maybe Naruto being in filler hell and HxH being about halfway done also contributed. I'd imagine they're always looking for their next long-running gateway shonen show like Bleach, DBZ, Naruto, etc., so that they can get in on another one at the start like they did Bleach, and I guess it wouldn't be surprising if MHA was probably out of their price range since it became such a big hit so quickly just on Funi's streaming service (along with Crunchyroll) even before it went anywhere else. Hopefully with them expanding the block for BC, rather than it taking something else's place, when one of the other shows ends early next year they'll be able to use one of the spots for one of the more adult aimed shows or at least one of more demanded crossover shows like Blood Blockade Battlefront (the mix of content in the show and Trigun creator/artist really makes it a no-brainer even if it's been streaming for a while it feels like it'd still be a huge hit with its mix of action, comedy, and colorful and hyper characters). If they'd like to keep the theme of revamped classics for the Lupin spot for at least one more time, Space Battleship Yamato 2199 would really be a great choice now that against all odds it's finally getting dubbed now.

Yeah, as was said earlier, it definitely wouldn't surprise me if they got a good deal on this show given how hard both the JP and US sides are pushing it.

Having seen the first 4 eps, I agree with the dub response, Dallas Reid did way better, he sounds good, even Asta's yelling (which they tone down a bit, though obviously there's still plenty of it to match the yelling animations) is much less grating and loud thanks to his somewhat deeper voice and that he does it better. The story beats so far are, as mentioned a lot, very familiar so far, but at least it's been a good listen IMO, as pretty much all of the voice casting so far has been quite good, while waiting to see if the show ever does get more distinct somewhere down the road to which I have no idea of at all since I'm not at all familiar with the manga. So on the plus side at least we've got voices that slide right into their characters well very quickly IMO. Both Asta and Yuno (played by Micah Solusod, who played Soul in Soul Eater) and the supporting characters at the church are well picked to me and the first little villain has a cool voice that worked well with the design and facial expressions to try to give him a little atmosphere And the couple of new voices for the rest of the main group they just started introducing, of which most were admittedly only the first small samples of, but a couple got more screentime, were well picked as well so far in the latest dub ep from last weekend.

Yeah I wouldn't mind some Jojo marathons when they do them on air, it's one of the more fun shows for them given how crazy each episode can be and how varied they are.

Yeah, I'd be shocked it if actually is intended to stop at 51 episodes, even if that's the plan for the current batch. Would be shocked if they don't intend to make this the next long runner.

Cool. Seeing as you like Toonami I think it's worth the try. It's the kind of show that would totally have fit on the block in that mystery scifi thriller style the block loves and you can feel that it's creators had that kind of spark for what they wanted to create whether or not you like it. The art style is really nice too and distinctive, and there's a good soundtrack. Murase also recently did the new Genocidal Organ movie and the designs and animation direction for Watanabe's Blade Runner Black Out 2022.

Yeah, aside from episode 1, 2nd Gig really starts next time.

ROFL Aramaki so blunt.

NICE MAJOR!

It's really good but a little hard to describe since at times it's one of those "deep questions" type shows once it gets passed the setup phase, it's worth reading some reviews if you'd like to get a feel for both sides of it before diving in. It's directed by Shukou Murase who did Witch Hunter Robin (and Gangsta and did designs for a number of shows) and written by Dai Sato (quite the Toonami fav, since many of the shows he's written for have been on Toonami). Setup from the Wiki/Myanimelist: The story begins in a futuristic domed city called Romdo, built to protect its citizens after a global ecological disaster thousands of years prior. In this utopia, humans and androids known as AutoReivs coexist peacefully under a total management system. A series of murders committed by robots and AutoReivs infected with the Cogito virus (which causes them to become self-aware) begins to threaten the delicate balance of Romdo's social order. Inspector Re-l Mayer, granddaughter of Romdo's ruler, is assigned to investigate this phenomenon alongside her AutoReiv partner Iggy. But what begins as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a conspiracy as Re-l is confronted by humanity's darkest sins as well as discovering there is a more complicated plot behind everything that involves a mysterious humanoid species known as 'Proxy' who are the subject of secret government experiments. The Proxy beings (described as almighty, god-like, immortal, omnipotent) are believed to hold the very key to the survival of humanity.

Goodnight buddy.

Goodnight

Let's go! (Ergo Proxy should have been on Toonami)

"Hey, you're a girl!" Question answered, right before the end of the episode.

yeah, at one point it sounded like Boxleitner said it was getting close then it seemed like all the talk disappeared.

"Not coming for Ed, ooh-la-la" Perfect music!

"It was lonely so it drew some friends."
