But there will NOT be any more made. Thank god. Finally some good news coming from Demarco. Shoegaze (so far) has been passable, so if it can keep that up it’s the perfect way to end this abhorrent chapter of AS history.

Always rely on Demarco to shatter your expectations, usually for the worse. I did watch Akudama Drive in full, so I don’t know why it hasn’t been announced yet. Great show actually, if they announced it for a Toonami run in November I wouldn’t even be mad. The OP slaps and I’d get to see my man Hoodlum again.

Easy, I phone up Sentai and I accept ANYTHING they offer within the blocks price range. Would have done that 2-3 years ago. I don’t waste my time looking at top shelf shonen I’ll never be able to secure. This has been a consideration for me, as I believe at this point they have the rest Shippuden locked down. It’s just hard to envision what they do when that anchor is gone. I know there is a chance they don’t have ALL of Dressrosa, but surely they aren’t out of episodes this soon into the arc, right?

Huh, well I was kind of right with both FLCL getting a rerun, but I didn’t expect them split up like this. Pretty dirty for 10/21 since people still have to turn out for Shippuden if they are following that. And on that topic, shocking that they are burning 2 episodes of that instead of One Piece. Very uninspired Halloween this year though, HCC seemed like a lock. Uzumaki will either air next month, or Demarco couldn’t sell subs to the higher ups. So here’s how things look after we come back from Halloween 12 - empty 12:30 - One Piece 1 - One Piece 1:30 - Naruto 2 - Naruto 2:30 - empty It’s also possible that OP or Naruto does not return to the schedule with a double dose, so that’s 2, possibly 3 slots open. Last year at the same time, they used DST confusion as a cover to slip in a time cut, I wonder if that’s the plan again this year or if they finally are going to deliver something.

It’s a real show that airs on the ID network. Has to be a monumental blunder for this to have happened when American Dad should have been playing. Usually mistakes of this caliber are reserved for Toonami hours. I love how no matter what happens on AS, people will stick with it for 30+ minutes asking themselves “is this some kind of gag? The joke will hit any second now!” You really just never know.

A giant rubber Luffy? How did THAT happen?

Good. Memberberries + your childhood but EBIL is shit 7th graders write. It was good as a Halloween short and a half assed April Fools stunt, that’s all it ever needed to do.

We will probably be getting a schedule update this week for the last 2 weeks of October, here’s my final prediction before it’s revealed 10/21 12 - Grunge 1 12:30 - Grunge 2 1 - Grunge 3 1:30 - Shoegaze 1 2 - Shoegaze 2 2:30 - Shoegaze 3 10/21 is an odd week they need to fill time on, so what better time to do full reruns for both shows? 10/28 12 - HCC 1 12:30 - HCC 2 1 - HCC 3 1:30 - HCC 4 2 - time filler, something Halloween theme if they have it on hand 2:30 - time filler, something Halloween theme if they have it on hand Or, if the stars align and let us having something nice for once 12 - Uzumaki subbed 1 12:30 - Uzumaki subbed 2 1 - Uzumaki subbed 3 1:30 - Uzumaki subbed 4 2 - HCC 1 2:30 - HCC 2 3 - HCC 3 3:30 - HCC 4 If it’s the latter schedule, we may only get the 10/21 update this week, but that would still be a strong implication that something is cooking for 10/28.

Pretty good so far, furthers my theory that what holds the others back is Haruko. Still a big issue with sound mixing, some scenes the music is just blaring as the MC whispers his lines. I don’t know why they can’t get this right. Also, I HOPE it’s a mistake, but if not, the CC subtitles dropped multiple huge spoilers. So if you haven’t watched it yet, turn subs off.

There was a mistake yesterday and the Dexter marathon aired then. Seems their “fix” was airing yesterday’s skipped schedule today rather than doubling down on Dexter. Should go back to normal next week so long as they keep the tapes straight.

And the double ups continue even further into October with the 15th locked in. Next week, if nothing is announced, the schedule should be blank as Shoegaze won’t be on the schedule anymore. I’m gonna guess that nothing Uzumaki related will drop till after the panel on the 12th, so we may be waiting a bit for the next schedule update if Uzumaki is included on it. But, there is also the alternative of the 21st being a one off stall day as well. Guess we will see next week.

Something about that quote seems…edited, yet somehow still accurate. To answer your question, because it’s Demarco. If he has a way to fill time for free and no effort on his part, he is gonna take it.

Kim Gasiciel has a website, Twitter, etc with pictures and stuff. Not that any alias VA name has ever been much of a secret. It’s there to allow them to sidestep union rules, not to actually keep their identity secret. Thinking about it, the only time I can think of where a VA genuinely was trying to hide their identity was Brittany Karbowski when she did Newgrounds porn voice work back in 2020. Though, her voice is in so many shows you can’t help but immediately notice it’s her. Everyone else, you google the obviously fake name and the first result is usually the VAs actual name.

I’m glad it’s Haruko-free, but I don’t think Kari won’t at least make a cameo as some background character. Crazy how similar that other VA sounds like her though.

And when we do get it, Demarco will act like it’s some huge deal we should be thankful for, and getting it justifies not getting acquired shows.

I mean just from a Toonami specific perspective. Last year we saw HCC completely bomb after its first episode. Grunge didn’t blow the lid off anything, but its viewership stayed fairly consistent and was slightly over the average we expect for the block in late 2023. Can’t ask for much more from a show these days.

Can’t believe we have to pencil down Grunge as a success. 3 for 3 on passable viewership. I hope at the very least Shoegaze does better so Demarco doesn’t get the wrong idea that making cheap CGI garbage is a good thing people want more of.

Sounds more like the equivalent of my ass.

It absolutely will be ready by November. But that’s the wrong question to ask. What you should ask is when is Crunchyroll willing to release it from their uncooperative claws? I believe the first cour had 6 episodes released before it started its Toonami run, and it’s not a matter of the block not having the space for why it took that long to start.

Yea it makes me skeptical if they plan to air it then because that’s a very tight window unless they are actually going with the very low promotion sub route. That’s only 8 days worth of promotion time, where every other new AS show this year has gotten 3-4 weeks. That said, the promotion would start almost the same time R&M does which is when the most eyes are on AS, so maybe that compensates.

Still thinking this will probably be a new years pickup for the block. CR will take a few weeks to get the dub started, then we will have to wait a few more weeks for them to release 4-5 episodes before they let us have it. And at that point it’s running into the heavy holiday marathon part of the year so they will probably just sit on it.

Adult Swim will have a panel at NYCC on October 12th where they are teasing an early look at Uzumaki, among other upcoming shows. Of course, this could just be a rehash of what they showed us at the last con and nothing more, but it’s also timed just right just announce a date for it to take Shoegaze’s slot.

At the start of the video I was gonna say that’s totally just Roiland again, but by the end, especially that final bit with them in the car it’s obviously someone else.

At least nu-Star Wars occasionally has a scene or two that makes you say “ok yea that was kinda cool”. I’ll even give credit to Prog and Alt, they were bad but they did an occasional spurt of good here and there. Grunge was ass from start to finish, and while the CGI greatly contributes to that, with how creatively bankrupt and boring it was, I can’t see 2d animation bumping that final score up. At least Shoegaze looks like it’s going to at least try to do its own thing. So it’s already off on a better foot than Grunge. But as I type this, I think about how the trailer just outright has a character mention “sexual energy” or something and cringe. If someone says they are going to overflow, I will probably overflow with rage.

So, do we just not have any faith at all in Ninja Kamui?
