Demarco is on vacation, probably was just intern-kun messing up and posting an incomplete graphic. Not the first time we have seen it happen in recent years. They are happy to air viewer repellent so long as they can take credit for making it. See - FLCL Progressive, Alternative, Grunge, Fena and Black Lotus.

I was never smug or condescending about it. I only ever suggested that it MIGHT happen given the length of the arc, and more recently the delays after Punk Hazard ends. As much as I wanted it to, never once did I suggest it leaving was a sure thing. Maybe a GOOD thing, but not a sure thing. Dressrosa doesn’t make me suffer. It actually improves my situation as I have an excuse to go to sleep much earlier. Later down the road I may have to tough it out since I do want to see Shippuden end live, but that’s about a year away and plenty could change before then. Hopefully the suffering I experience in your head makes up for how dog water Dressrosa is.

Like right this second? Or in general? Been keeping up with Superman which I certainly did not expect to be one of my top AS picks of 2023. Also been trying to care about Teenage Euthanasia, but I have already missed one week so far. Why a Wednesday premier? Come on AS.

Caught ya, just couldn’t bring yourself to actually ignore me, could ya? Imagine sitting here and actually defending Dressrosa just to have the opposite opinion of mine. Sorry, I can’t take credit for it. You can skim any hardcore OP community for thoughts on Dressrosa and get something very similar. You will struggle to find OP fans who will give a positive review of anime Dressrosa.

Dressrosa sucks ass. It’s easily the lowest point for the anime between shoddy Toei animation and their most shameless one chapter episodes full of padding to reach 22 minutes. 2 episodes a week means an hour of torture each week instead of 30 minutes. The only way Dressrosa is watchable is on your own skipping the OP + recaps, and maybe setting the speed to 1.5x just for good measure. Even if the entire arc stays double, which I doubt, that would still be about 1.5 years on the arc when accounting for marathons and other delays. If nothing else, I kinda wish since Naruto is now in its final sprint to the end, that they would swap it with OP. After this stretch of Itachi filler, there’s only like 10 filler episodes left. Throw the Naruto fans a bone here after 10 years of loyalty.

Buddy, One Piece leaving was OPTIMISM. It staying and dooming us to two years of a single arc is the bad end. I still think Naruto is gonna stay double till 9/30 and then be replaced by Uzumaki. One Piece has no need to preserve its episodes. So here’s a revamped 9/30. 12 - Grunge 12:30 - Uzumaki (subbed) 1 - One Piece 1:30 - One Piece 2 - Naruto 2:30 - MHA No cut, yet it still feels like an awful lineup. Depending on dub speed and Crunchyroll cooperation, Dr Stone’s second cour could tag in when Uzumaki wraps up. That would be November when accounting for a Halloween delay. That just leaves Grunge as the one unknown. And as we have seen in the past, when an original or top billing shonen isn’t available, they really struggle at putting something in the lead. If nothing else, I’d say odds and Toonami only getting 2 acquired shows this year is sitting at about 90% right now.

Welp, we can finally put the OP speculation to rest. Looks like we either will stay at 2.5 hours, or they are weening us into a 2 hour block normalcy. This is just like last year during DST where they used the confusion of unusual schedules to sneak in an hour cut. If I had to take a guess, double Naruto will stick till 9/30, at which point Uzumaki will slip in at 12:30. Once Grunge ends is probably when they rip the band aid off on 2 hours. So in our future a few months from now probably this. 12 - Dr Stone S3 part 2 12:30 - One Piece 1 - Naruto 1:30 - original rerun

We are at least sure Bleach isn’t an exclusive. Crystal was Hulu only so we knew it could never come (which was a good thing), it’s slim, but Bleach isn’t entirely off the table. Unfortunately, for all we know Bleach was the April show they seemingly blew the deal on. Back in the spring, Demarco explicitly ignored all questions about Bleach. From asking if it could be on the block to innocent questions like asking if he has checked it out. It did seem like he was taking precautions to not accidentally trip an NDA. And at the same time of doing this he had no issue talking about wanting JJK, reiterating Demon Slayer S2 was still off the table and wishing Witch from Mercury was coming their way. So it’s not that he was just avoiding show talk in general, he was explicitly avoiding Bleach talk.

Probably better to ask after we get 9/16. There are just too many unknowns. I’ll make an assumption they will stall one slot so subbed Uzumaki can tag in on 9/30. That would have it temporarily overlap Grunge, but I think they will let it slide to squish it into the appropriate month. Since it’s subbed, it’s a lot harder to headline with anyone, as by their own admission multiple times, subs are the number one ratings killer. The rest is anyone’s guess. The only thing that could even be considered a hint is that Eizouken tweet that tagged Toonami, and that’s a huge stretch. It seems the teased April show may have fallen through. I would not be surprised at all if there are zero acquisitions for the rest of the year. Even though it’s entirely pointless, they will probably do a Halloween marathon on 10/28. Id bet on an hour expansion for that so they can run both Uzumaki and HCC. Not that you would ever know, you blocked me, remember? Hopefully you don’t start charging me rent for the head space though.

They are unobtainable. On the slim chance they are obtainable, it takes way too much sacrifice just to land one show. But Demarco can’t get out of the mindset of Toonami being able to effortlessly land every Jump show that releases and would rather air nothing and continue chasing a dream, over settling for B shows and actually having content on the block. I have no doubt he will be. Taking a vacation from work is not taking a vacation from being angry on twitter every day. He is probably thinking about “haters” right this very second. Expect a “I’m bored, AMA” tweet before this vacation ends. He needs his monthly quota of attention and validation.

Here’s our answer courtesy of Sketch. Little worried about using “was” in the discussion of this matter as it implies it fell through and will never come.

If anyone is interested in bothering Demarco, someone should ask him if AoT is the show they were waiting on back in April.

Wiki lists it as episode 1 of season 17. I don’t think CR cuts the seasons up correctly. If Toonami is going straight to Toei to get these episodes, I’d assume they are going by the proper breakdown rather than the CR one. Please do, I’d love to be able to put this to rest. Though, if it is leaving, I doubt he will answer.

Allegedly, the anime is supposed to deviate away from the manga ending. So we may either get an end that isn’t as bad, or we get to witness an end people hate even more. 8/12 - 627 Luffy Dies at Sea! The Pirate alliance comes apart! 8/19 - 628 - A major turnaround! Luffy’s iron fist strikes! ??? - 629 Startling! The Big News Shakes up the New World Episode 629 drops Hands Up and swaps the OP to Wake Up, marking the start of a new arc/episode batch.

Is that really a surprise or a bad thing? Let’s make the 3 hours we have great before thinking about adding more time. Something they have struggled with for the entire year. Anyways, I’m glad we can finally get this out of the way. Still think after all this time it would have been better to pair the two up later this year, but I suppose it would still be good if we can get part 2 before 2023 ends. So here’s what 9/16 looks like 12 - Grunge 12:30 - empty 1 - empty 1:30 - maybe empty maybe One Piece 2 - Naruto 2:30 - MHA AoT allows them to not have to split the spotlight as much, but they still have lots of work to do the following week. And I’m a noticer, and I notice on 8/19 Punk Hazard airs its final episode and then they stall 3 weeks, so I’m still not writing off One Piece leaving again.

The first one he may not even be 100% wrong on. Early era emissions equipment on 80s vehicles was often the source of problems. Not for the reasons given, just that the technology was rushed out the door. In the second one, the way he says “no… no!” to getting his ass kicked is great. Early era KotH had him deliver the dialog differently, it’s a lot deeper and more monotone.

They have tried many times to bring Kahn in, he doesn’t want to hang out with hillbilly redneck. Plus, it’s not about just filling a body, Dale was a unique an irreplaceable character. Have Dale for the first time ever take Hank’s advice on something only to be taken by the feds for doing so. Really? Lucky is usually cited as one of the worst things to happen to KotH, and Luanne being gone would only be slightly noticeable

I wonder if any voice work had been done yet. If not, this may be the finishing blow for the reboot. It could have gotten by without Luanne and Lucky, but Dale is simply too significant to be written out. I don’t think people would want a recast.

https://amp.tmz.com/2023/08/10/king-of-the-hill-dale-johnny-hardwick-voice-actor-dead-dies/ Law enforcement says no foul play suspected. That’s what THEY would say though.

Oh when Robot Jones used this voice, it’s was bad. But when AS uses it for their promo, it’s great. Really though, hype for this. And it looks like they are putting a little more into it than just tossing these shows on the air. Kinda reminds me of those old school bumpers where the various characters were in the break room or cafeteria.

>make a non argument blind insult towards something you took an L on >have it explained to you exactly why you are being served the L despite doing nothing but making an insult >double down, hit ‘em with the “BLOCKED BRO” >act like this doesn’t make your clown nose and wig get bigger Dont care if you don’t see this, others need to.

I told y’all it was a dumb idea to repeat the episode. Nobody wanted to listen. People actually believed going backwards, rerunning, then forwards was what the audience wanted. And they didn’t even announce any of this on air, so irregular viewers were thrown way off. They should have aired them both back to back the following week as they had done with SAO when it had its issue. Sorry that I was right.

Oof, I’d be willing to bet that might be the worst ratings average Toonami has ever had. It’s almost like an unannounced Dr Stone rerun rather than just pressing forward was a bad idea or something. But hey, at least they actually made the chart this week. A shame we won’t be able to see the two upcoming rerun marathons, they will probably make these numbers look like a home run. We need a lineup refresh ASAP with some actual new content. Grunge ain’t enough Demarco.

Interesting note about this episode, at release, Matt Shipman (Chrome) voiced Senku for the entire episode as Aaron Dismuke was unavailable. I don’t know when exactly Crunchyroll had it redubbed properly, but as we hear in the promo, Dismuke is back in the driver seat. I wonder if anyone will bother to preserve the Shipman dub or if it will just fade away as lost media.
