Yea I ain’t sitting through an hour of rerun trash to get to two episodes of something I don’t care about. Ask me again in May if one or both of those reruns are replaced by a new show.

There was a strict NDA on this project

Ok time to place your bets 1. they are spoiling it 12 hours early because it’s an R&M advertisement and they need maximum eyes on it 2. they are pretending to spoil it with the most obvious choice for a prank but it either won’t be directly associated with S8, or won’t have to do with R&M at all

If he is ok waiting and dodging spoilers, there is a full 1-10 marathon on April 4th as well

Here’s the main reason I don’t trust them. 5 episodes is a lot to hand out early. That’s right on the edge of half the show. AS didn’t hand those episode out to just anyone, they are going to people financially incentivized to at minimum, not say anything outright bad about the show. The age of being able to trust the word of any kind of pre release review is long gone. I’ll be there with everyone else forming my own opinion, and as I said, I truly do hope this is good.

Huh, I felt like the story was gonna be contained. I hope they don’t get too wacky for an S2. A lot of ways this good story can turn to a shit story if they pivot down the wrong angle. Maybe it’s just the angle, but is that white dude that is standing kinda have the same body fat as Marshall? If Toonami survives long enough, hopefully they will add it to the block a bit sooner than the halfway point. Toonami premier? I doubt it, but we can at least be within a week.

The difference is simple, anime generally doesn’t get handed out to review goobers to pre watch. Lazarus is an AS show so it’s working a little differently. TiR and C&R were just seasonal shows among the boatload there is 4 times a year. Since Toonami didn’t spoonfeed those to anyone, they just didn’t get discussed that much outside of diehard anime communities. Good luck criticizing Dandy in the presence of any Toonami fans who was there in 2014. You will be attacked for having the audacity to consider it anything less than 10/10. Among non Toonami viewers, opinions are much more varied. I hope Lazarus doesn’t suck, I really do. Especially since it’s gonna be the only show on the block for 2/3 it’s run minimum. But I also don’t trust the integrity of reviewers to go against the acceptable public opinion.

Gotta take that with a grain of salt though. No one wants to be the reviewer to say “this Watanabe project sux” because they will get absolutely destroyed by fanboys. It would have to be Uzumaki tier abysmal for someone to get up on that hill. Now, when the project is out to the masses, then if it sucks people will be more willing to say it because it’s more than just dude trust me bro. Plus, I stand by Ninja Kamui staying solid for 6 episodes until the CGI slop really started to take hold. Lazarus has to start AND end good for a W.

The more I see of this, the more it feels like Demarco just trying to make a Bebop fanfic with donut steel characters. He promised to not make a new Bebop season, he didn’t promise to not make a new Bebop entirely with Schmike Schmegal and his pals.

So it’s going to be disgusting, right? A devil fruit themed ice cream shouldn’t taste good.

What? You think Mike “women are not funny” Lazzo would have turned down a show made by a woman primarily for a female audience? Birdgirl Teenage Euthanasia Tuca and Bertie Three Busy Debras Oh My God… Yes! Maybe ol Mike one of those “they hated him cause he spoke the truth” kind of guys.

I couldn’t tell you. I have watched a total of 30 seconds of the show. The commercial for it they kept airing leading up to it. And from that, I determined it was shit not worth my time. Sounds like I was right. Anyway, I don’t think it belongs on the block. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s possible they add it. Maybe if we all keep saying it as a sure thing, it won’t happen. Like reverse manifestation or something.

That one article did say that Lazarus subbed would be airing on cable with a month delay, that’s probably what they are saving that slot for. It is the bonus function of making it so there are 3 premiers on the block rather than 2. I still stand by it being crazy they are sending Lazarus onto center stage with zero other shows to support it. Basically guaranteeing it fails. May 3rd isn’t quite a month, so One Piece could give up a slot on May 10th when they slot OMGY into the CSE slot. That’s a LOT of OP episodes burned though. 8 weeks worth, so 7 they need to make up for. Our best prayer for a new show is BE S2 replacing S1, which would be on the 17th. Nearly the halfway mark for the year before seeing them spend any money.

Fresh schedule update, though it’s nothing we didn’t already know. Not sure why they made us wait so long for this one. It is interesting to see that they are keeping double OP. I suppose it can be removed at any time, but I’d sooner bet that the schedule goes unchanged until CSE and BE end. They are looking at a 6-10 episode debt for the show, which won’t be fun to deal with later in the year.
