  1. He did a follow up tweet and said Ninja Kamui is 2024
  2. Unfortunately it played out exactly as people expected. The only news we got relevant to the immediate future was FLCL. Which anyone with two brain cells already knew was airing on 9/9 the moment they stuck that rerun at 1am. We remain in the dark on what replaces Dr Stone and Superman, and the promised show they were close in April to announcing remains unannounced. And let’s be real, do we really think they would start a new acquired show the same week as FLCL? Big doubt.
  3. Why would that very important piece of info not be in the trailer then? Fully expecting him to drop a “whoops there was a delay lol” around mid September.
  4. Maybe that’s the plan, make Grunge an absolute abomination so people are willing to give Shoegaze a passing score purely because it doesn’t look like dogshit
  5. Watanabe did say he hoped for next year if everything went perfectly.
  6. Just an innocent meme about watching Toonami tonight? Or a hint at something more?
  7. Demarco is delusional and thinks Watanabe guarantees him success. It will be yet another one season wonder, especially if viewership continues to drop due to not ever getting any content
  8. Remember that time 4 years ago when they released a trailer? No date, not even a vague 2024
  9. If that’s what they felt good about showing in the trailer, I think RWBY might have a contender for worst animation
  10. Here’s the trailer. Trigger warning - it’s actually sickening to look at what Demarco has done to this franchise
  11. Now they are wasting time with the Rick and Morty anime that isn’t even part of Toonami. Got fluff out a “ton” of announcements, right?
  12. FLCL on September 9th. As if we needed an announcement for that predictable move
  13. So, since this isn’t being live streamed, do we know of any Twitter accounts that are on the scene and planning to live tweet the event?
  14. The Reddit hivemind NOT showing blind, unwavering support to a project that has “Watanabe” listed in the description? Surely you jest.
  15. “Mutiny” is too big of a word for Luffy
  16. Maybe, but this isn’t the first time we have seen a show listed as leaving only for them to quietly go “oops jk lmao”
  17. I want to lean towards this possibly being an error, surely they aren’t so petty that they would ditch the show not even 1 month after the movie drops.
  18. Toonami has not acquired a non sequel show since January 2022 - Fact Toonami clearly still has money going into it, so the block isn’t on a sustained burnoff mode - Fact Sorry if the indisputable facts in the room conflict with your beliefs, but a thoughtless shitpost reply won’t make them stop being facts.
  19. Have they? I feel like it’s only been in recent years that they have picked up the nickname “Crappa”. Their recent tactic seems to be rolling out a 10/10 trailer, keeping that energy into episode 1, then just giving up. They also have Sola on board for this project. They helped make the barely visible Black Lotus possible.
  20. I’m eager to be proven wrong. I’d love for Demarco to walk on stage on Saturday and announce two non sequel pickups, hit the dab, and tell the haters to li-li-lick my balls. Doesn’t even have to be then, if Saturday is talk time for originals only, I’m cool if they are announced via Facebook in a month. As it stands, the last non sequel acquisition was Jan 2022 with Made in Abyss. Call it /co/ talk all you want, I call it reality talk. 1.5 years without a non sequel pickup and more open slots then I care to go back and count makes it very hard to argue that they have put one iota of effort into looking for new shows. Meanwhile, they are still announcing originals, so we know AS hasn’t completely abandoned the block.
  21. Don’t see any money issues anywhere else on AS. Especially with another 2 hours they are picking up. Yea, the content is all free in house stuff, but it’s more time to manage. And the entire topic of this thread, plenty of money to piss away on another original that odds are will be a major flop as all its predecessors have been. Not to mention the block has had money for a bit of a packaging refresh and all those animated short bumpers. Nah, it’s not a money issue. It’s a desire issue. They don’t want to air anything that isn’t a sequel. Nobody on the staff wants to do the research on fresh anime so we just get to linger and stall for months at a time until another sequel is available.
  22. 2023 for sure, because there is absolutely no excuse for it being this bad. We are still sitting at only 2 acquired shows for the year, and it looks like the maximum we can have this year will be 4.
  23. My expectations are low as well, but they really gotta get it through their head that the block cannot subsist on originals and people aren’t as excited for these as they think they are, especially with their current track record of only one original being barely passable, purely because it adapted an already existing story. Here’s how the schedule looks going forward Superman - ends early September Dr Stone - ends weekend before Labor Day (thanks “accidental” wrong episode!) FLCL - ends weekend before Labor Day One Piece - Punk Hazard ends in Sept Naruto - July 2024 MHA - January 2024 First three slots of the block are all shuffling around in a little over a month. One is almost surely going to FLCL, now is good of time as any to tell us what two acquired shows will fill in the other hour. They have absolutely zero excuse for not having two shows to shuffle in after such a destitute year so far.
  24. On the topic of early info, I’d say odds of another Uzumaki delay are sitting around 90%. As soon as the schedule math had a new FLCL leaking into October I had a feeling this would be the case.
