1. Start shit 2. Get the taste slapped out of your mouth 3. Play victim 4. ??? 5. B-blocked! A tale as old as time. A strange tale, where you frame yourself as the famous protagonist that people would be sad about getting blocked, rather than some soft internet rando who likes to bring the heat but cries like a widdle babby anytime some is sent back.

Reminder that multiple people are paid 6 figures to “discover” things like this, that knuckleheads on backwater forums figured out multiple years prior for free. “Cable….is undesirable” ”That will be $200k per year + benefits + tip”

I dunno, does it get tiring forcing yourself to slurp chunky shit through a straw just so you can call yourself an optimist?

Hopefully Rick and Morty is a monumental flop so they will permanently stop considering doing this. Anime adaptations of western properties are peak cringe.

You give me exactly what I want the one weekend where I wasn’t home. No matter, still a good listen even if I missed my chance to participate. Part of me wonders how hands on Demarco even is anymore on acquisitions. Obviously someone had to be doing it, but it also feels like it’s kinda on autopilot for sequels or “it’s everywhere” shows like Zom. Aside from Rick subs, right now I don’t feel like any show could fall below the current floor of around 140k at midnight. We had Demon Slayer up there earlier in the year pulling down a 160-180k average. Give me a hat with Sentai action titles from the past 10 years and I’ll draw, and I’ll bet whatever I pull out could do equivalent or better at midnight. At the added bonus of being substantially cheaper. At this point, the question is, does whoever is in charge of Toonami WANT to improve it? Or are they OK with just coasting it along as a home for originals and CNs rejects? I have a growing fear the latter is the goal, and they will just occasionally pick a cherry off the tree for us so no one can claim they are going hungry.

Regardless of his gut size, he seems to be one of the only people willing to offer any form of criticism towards the block. As a dissected in my post, it’s mostly mislead and roundabout as to not directly implicate the actual causes, but it’s rare to see anyone of note actually stand up and say the block isn’t in the best place. I do agree though, he does a quick heel turn when Demarco gives us an inch, after taking a couple miles, and gets abrasive towards people who said the block isn’t doing enough. The only other mouth willing to criticize the block is AmbientVirus/Colt. However, he will go straight for the REAL problems, so they do their best to keep him away from a mic since he will get Toonami Faithful blacklisted by Demarco. IMO the worst gaslighter of them all is CJ. Demarco literally told us, from his own mouth, that Demon Slayer would never air again. We get Demon Slayer again, and CJ accuses the fanbase of spreading rumors it would never air again.

It’s not about whether or not we can handle them. Toonami was entitled those AoT specials. It’s securing them that will be the issue. I agree, they will be edited into episodes at some point, but we are in for a long wait.

Good, good. That explains Demon Slayer, the most popular anime of the 2020s and a cultural phenomenon all on its own. Unsurprisingly, very expensive. So, what about the rest of their catalog? Demon Slayer being too expensive doesn’t automatically mean they were priced out of every show Aniplex owns, just the one that was selling out movie theaters.

The only market change they are contending with is CR pulling their stuff off the table. There are 3 other major distributors they could be pulling from. And they choose not to. You can blame the market for why the block doesn’t have top billing Jump shows year round, but you can’t blame it for the frequent voids in content. They claim this, yet the budget does not reflect this. And with Rick on Thursday’s and the more marketable Uzumaki on next Thursdays, that doesn’t show much faith. Until we see a schedule that reflects the claim, the “faith” is lip service Both wrong and just excuses for Demarco’s laziness when it comes to researching content. Let’s not forget just a few months prior, he didn’t even know Urusei Yatsura had a new season. No it doesn’t and it never has. Every time they nostalgiabait, it bites them in the ass. We are seeing it in real time with Rewind flopping out. If people want to rewatch something, they are gonna do so by choosing the best episodes of something and skipping the rest. For 11 years they told us subs were an absolute never ever because that’s the ultimate trigger for channel changing and I have no idea why they suddenly think that has changed. Rick might flop a little more since it looks like wet ass, but it doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s subbed, it’s doomed. Oh boy, I can’t wait till reach the point of airing “what the FUCK is my mom doing with that artichoke!?!?” webtoon slop. Sure, more western stuff is coming in, but these days, what do western action animation titles have in common? Oh right, mimicking anime in every way they possibly can. I think people would prefer actual anime over the cheap knockoffs. Call it an action animation block all you want, people are here for the anime, and the less of that there is, the less people will tune in. Anyway, I’ll give him credit here, he tried. He at the very minimum, acknowledged there is a problem with the block. But that’s where it stops. No acknowledgment of the actual problems, just a nice, safe excuse real so Demarco doesn’t block him and cut off access. No doubt Demarco will at least retweet this with his usual “muh 25 years I no wat I’m doin”, but that will be it. Put a mic in front of Colt and let him rip. He is willing to make the real statements and not dance around the issues.

When Ninja Kamui ends, they could put MHA in that slot too. That would let them finish the season in half the time. If they really get into a time crunch they could boot Kai too and do 3x MHA. But with this development, I don’t expect it this year at all. I think there is a strategy to Rick and Uzumaki not getting 3am reruns. Instead of that being its premier on the block, at a dead hour when most of the audience is gone, they can premier those on the obligatory series marathon nights. 5 hours of Rick subs would probably be the worst ratings of all time, but 5 hours of Rick dubbed might not be as much of a disaster. October 26th? Uzumaki Toonami dub premier 12-2. Marathon nights are a wash but this at least gives them something to market, and no doubt a better turnout than 3am. Whatever replaces Shippuden should give us a better idea of where their finances are right now. Whatever it is will be a 1:30 show, so not anything off the top shelf. I say if we avoid a rerun and Boruto, it can’t be that bad.

Nevermind, signal cancelled. MHA will be starting right at episode 1. So they definitely do not have S7 anywhere near being secured. I guess at some point, they could speed this up, or just outright drop it, but we probably have a 7-8 month wait for S7, if at all. That’s eliminated from the Naruto replacement running, so that should spice up people’s predictions.

But since Rick will be subbed it will be like the pig is old and only has 1 leg

Well, MHA returning to the rerun slot is a strong signal the next season is en route. The question is, what episode are they starting on? If it’s episode one, that’s not good. If it’s the last 10 episodes of the season, we know what our new lead show for the fall is.

Probably this one. I don’t think they care that much. For the initial run of Mugen Train and Entertainment District, Toonami was knocked off track about 2-3 minutes since they left in the Taisho Era Secrets bit.

Consider the following for September, whatever week Naruto ends 12 - Rick and Morty anime 12:30 - Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village 1 - Mashle 1:30 - One Piece 2 - DBZ Kai 2:30 - some rerun idk Same as the last bit of DS, a friendly Aniplex bonus to air when they have the time. Of course, everything but Rick has to move down a slot for 4 weeks for Uzumaki, but that’s hardly a big deal. Then come November, MHA rolls in to become our new lead show until another original is ready. If MHA is off the table, then probably IFG. I know, Demarco’s word is worth toilet paper, but he did say they have something lined up to replace Shippuden. So I want to believe that’s actually true.

Why do your predictions always expand the block? They have more than enough rerun slots as is that they don’t need to expand backward. And if Rick and Morty couldn’t pull us out of midnight, nothing ever will. Zero chance Primal S3 is coming out this year if it wasn’t featured at all at SDCC.

Fresh off the SDCC panel

Swordsmith confirmed for 8/10 as we all deduced ourselves

Not true. Lazzo knew his shit and wasn’t afraid to tell people harsh truths. People don’t like everything he did but he ran a smart ship and the decline in AS quality is notable when he left. Ain’t never seen a Calarts beanmouth show that was good. Dont expect I ever will. I think they can strike a balance. Dont go full edge, but do drop some of the obvious censorship things like everyone’s weird giant space guns. Anyways, I believe the Demon Slayer panel starts in a few minutes so let’s hope there is some news

So long as The Simpsons lives he won’t be touchable without extensive photographic evidence. It’s been awhile so their position may have changed but last I heard there won’t even be talks of ending the show till one of the main family VAs dies.

Case reads like a get rich quick scheme. Neither Matt nor Augustina witnessed any of the claimed behavior, so it’s a stretch to claim either one of them is responsible in any way. So she made unverifiable claims, and is shocked people don’t just get fired because she asked them to be. Barely even news. She will probably cash out a couple mil settlement just to shut her up. This is super underwhelming news knowing his foot massage story.

This dude just wants to ignore the problem. Everything that is cited as Calarts trash has earned it. If your character has the beanmouth, you have already failed. You will notice no one ever bitches about Primal, because it actually checks the box of having its own style. Calarts slop is not “its own style” and that’s why those shows are rightfully roasted. But Genndy seems to be a dying breed of people with their own style so we end up with either Calarts garbo or pretend anime. And you can’t really blame people for going the pretend anime route since every single year anime eats up another slice of the market. What I wonder is now after seeing the finale, that absolutely reeked of “we know we aren’t getting a new season so let’s wrap it all up ASAP”, will S3 take advantage of the show being on AS? They clearly did not get their renewal notice until well into the move to AS. Or will they want to keep the tone for its demographic on Max?

I never get this argument. Where are we racing to? The next poorly paced arc? Where people will complain it needs to be doubled up at all times to make any progress? Dont forget all the pointless delays that will surely come up. 2 weeks of Rick and Morty rerun marathon, probably dubbed? Yes sir. Halloween marathon? You know it. Other completely meaningless delays? Absolutely. It’s election year, maybe another Calamavote style event? I’d say November is when One Piece gets the double up treatment just to carry us into the new year. We have seen them coast as early as mid October so come November that’s only 5-6 weeks left in the year with regular Toonami nights to cover.

We still have the Naruto opening coming up, but after that things are pretty tight. So here’s a pretty good guess at our Aug 17th schedule 12 - Rick and Morty Anime (sub) 12:30 - Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village 1 - One Piece 1:30 - Naruto Shippuden 2 - DBZ Kai 2:30 - Ninja Kamui 3 - ??? The question to ask, how do they wedge in Uzumaki on 9/28? The way I see it there is 2 options Cringe option - when Naruto ends, double up OP for however many weeks till Uzumaki takes 12:30 on the 28th Based option - actually get a new show to replace Naruto, and come 9/28 either drop Kai or do something to make sure Ninja Kamui ends the week prior. I know which one I prefer, but seeing as they are likely farting out the last puff of the budget on Swordsmith, I doubt we will be so lucky unless Aniplex sends it over with a bonus like they did with Lycoris. IFG remains in wildcard territory. None of the material thus far has implied a Toonami run. So it could end up somewhere else on the schedule, or it could premier Thursday and rerun on Toonami.

Ok, I read the tweets explaining it wrong then. Thats marginally better. But that also means the first hour of Toonami will be subbed shows. That will be rough for whatever airs after it. I’d say there are two options. They either run dub then sub on Halloween, or run dub then HCC after, assuming they still have it.
