Well then, Toonami is boned. Without a sequel to use as leverage, any Crunchyroll show has a zero percent chance of airing now. Would not surprise me if they start putting an end to sequel deals too.

Damn that’s like the 2nd or 3rd highest lead in of the whole year. I think the audience finally found an FLCL sequel they can like. Really shows how we need some fresh meat later on though, because very little of that FLCL bump carried over into the shonen block.

Usually I don’t try to give an actual explanation, I just do what Shake does when he is watching Vegetable Man with the Mooninites. “Yea, he is Vegetable Man”. “Yea, he is a rubber man”. Reminds me of my gram 25 years ago. She tried so hard to understand those Pokemans because I liked them so much but I don’t think she ever did quite figure it out. We’d always have a laugh when I was older about how I’d talk about Pokémon on and on and she didn’t understand most of what I’d be going on about.

AS was the first place I saw ads for Pooph, and the first 2-3 times I kinda just half watched it and I was certain it was an AS created gag ad. Like I see the dude spray the bottle straight into his mouth and immediately think to myself oh yea, this is just some AS bit. Then I saw it on another channel and realized it was an actual product.

My thoughts are it’s not a very good idea and full of unrealistic choices. There is no reason to give CN back time as Checkered Past is doing better than anyone ever hoped. CN is dead, a “tween Toonami block” is what Toonami is right now with nothing but OP and Naruto. Actual tweens stream, there is zero market for cable anime with the next generation. Didn’t even know what Camp Camp was so I looked it up to find out its Rooster Teeth slop. Why would AS have access to that? Why would anyone want them to? I’d rather watch an American Dad episode I hate over garbage from that talentless studio. Harley Quinn, a nice dream but again it’s not something they have, nor can get access to. DC has it locked down so tight they couldn’t even fix the episode error that singular time it aired on Toonami. Your Toonami is mess, needlessly extended just to be filled up with reruns. Yea, Bleach would be great, and I’m sure they have been trying to put together a deal on it since the dub released, but it obviously hasn’t happened, and the outlook for it dwindles every schedule that passes. And probably the biggest issue with your schedules, yes, you did significantly increase the diversity on the schedule, but also significantly reduced the ratings for the entire network. They don’t air a zillion episodes of American Dad each week for fun, they do it because it’s their main breadwinner. The suits don’t care if the schedule is good, they just want it to have ample viewership so Mortal Kombat will buy ad space every single break.

I’m usually first to call Demarco a liar, but in comparison to the other originals, Grunge actually did solid. HCC and Black Lotus in particular are the standout flops. And so far Shoegaze is holding up too.

I just found it funny that Demarco had to burrow down to some nobodies blog whose website format is from 2003 to find a positive review for Grunge.

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.
