Yea that doesn’t make much sense. If it’s not a simuldub, there should be no reason they can’t have a show in their pocket for a month or two. Not to mention when the block has reruns, it’s not full. A rerun should be able to be dropped at a moments notice for a new show. Of course, he says this immediately after dropping everything to get Daima on the schedule ASAP. They will make room, if it’s for one of their favorites.

The criteria for fits Toonami is “has action”, and even then, they break this rule any time it’s convenient like they did with Common Side Effects. Sentai has plenty of that, every season. So that’s not a good excuse. Plus, I’m sure the audience would have preferred ANYTHING over what we had to suffer through Jan-mid May. We heard it right from Demarco, they just sit around and ask for Bleach over and over again till they get it. If they aren’t getting those shows, they just don’t bother.

If you actually do want to throw one out they might answer, Demarco confirmed in this interview that Sentai is their go to dub studio for all their originals, so why do they not air shows out of the Sentai catalog as well? That seems like it should be easy synergy that they aren’t utilizing. And for a few they probably won’t answer. 1. What is the status between Crunchyroll and Toonami? The block has not aired a new show from them since the start of 2021, and the last sequel from them was from 2023. Toei owned shows make it on, but nothing else. Does Crunchyroll no longer license shows to AS? If you need a follow up trump card to a non answer, point out that AXS was able to secure MHA. So Crunchyroll will license shows, but not to Toonami. 2. Why was Toonami allowed to go nearly 6 straight months without any new acquired content in 2025? Should the audience expect further long stretches of stall schedules when first choice shows cannot be secured?

“I need my co hosts to commit to only ask meaningless softball questions that give little, if any insight on the inner workings of Toonami” Like I get it, Demarco is a manchild who will turn tail and run if you don’t spend the entire interview jerking off his ego, but let’s call it what it is.

I can’t believe the audacity they have to actually make that dude in the homeless camp that Doug talked to, looked at, and promptly disregard as not important despite looking exactly like Skinner, to actually have been Skinner the whole time. Doug gets an F- on detective work

So this has been bugging me, sometimes AS runs a generic promo for Lazarus, rather than the episode specific one. It goes something like, “this team could save the world, if they could stop trying to kill each other first”. But like, not one time in this entire series have I felt anyone on the team held any animosity towards the others. Worst was Axel being a little salty about being caught, but he was cool with the crew almost immediately. Really, all of them get along quite well. Did AS even watch their own show?

Lazarus is mid ”Zaslav wanted to cancel it” Lazarus is the greatest anime ever created because I was told Zaslav was against it. That should about sum it up. I’m noticing Colt is not on the cast list, an intentional omission so no hard questions would be asked?

99.9% chance it’s gonna be Daima. No originals are ready, we would have heard something by now. Get Jiro was shown to still be in the production stages at Annecy, and we haven’t heard a thing about Rooster Fighter or MAWS S3 since their original announcements. And I don’t think there are any acquired titles they would place above a Dragonball show. So most likely scenario is our current lineup slides up 30 minutes, and Lazarus reruns get parked at 3am.

Well, at least we aren’t seeing the usual Dragonball nosedive between shows. Seems my theory was right that DBZ fans aren’t gonna turn out for something more reminiscent of DB. Will be interesting seeing if anything changes when it takes over as the lead show next month.

I imagine the casting for this must have been hilarious. ”Ok miss, we are gonna have you start at the top of these stairs and run down, and while you do, we will get a recording from this seismograph. If you can make it move, you got the part.”

Schedule goes out to July 8th and it’s KotH all the way. It’s done.

Whoever was in charge of action direction for this show should never be employed again. First off, we have Axel fall at LEAST ten stories off a bridge, onto a moving tanker trucker, that judging by the interior shot, was doing at least 70-80mph. Our protagonist doesn’t even drop an “oof” from this bone shattering impact, he just rolls it off. Then, our assassin character apparently input the cheat code for the infinite grenade jacket. But that’s not the best part. After knocking Axel into another (easily fatal but nowhere near as silly as the first) fall, somehow our assassin gets down, gets on the boat, gets IN the boat, all in the time it took Axel to stand back up. I hope whatever meager check Watanabe got from AS was worth this major stain on his career. And we ain’t even done yet.

They didn’t. Tax write offs only affect the US market. So a shows reruns can still persist on in non US markets while being written off. In order to do a reboot, they would have to fully pay off the tax break they got on the show in the mid 00s. If they bought it back, it would be available to CN (or let’s be real, AS would get it just like Jack) to air and stream. Not saying it’s impossible, but I think this article is oversimplifying things a little and a reboot wasn’t as close as they are implying it was.

I don’t care about taking the 5th off, but I hope we don’t have to do another marathon for the second half of Lazarus.

Starting on June 28th, the online schedule indicates the Checkered Past hour on weekdays is being replaced by King of the Hill. A month and a half short of a 2 year run. It was fun while it lasted. Any final thoughts on this block?
