Oh holy shit... I almost want that show to air on Toonami out of my fascination for seeing the world burn. It would make the controversy of every SAO season put together look like a cupcake.

It could just be that they get it eventually regardless of Hulu's actions, because the same happened with MHA for no real reason.

Hot damn! In particular, SAO must have either held My Hero really well or gained on it. Here's hoping the new corporate overlords are satisfied with these numbers.

Mitsuboshi Colors #3 Radiant #1

That's an ugly drop for SAO. I thought it had potential after last week's showing.

I decided to watch this after hearing about the hype, bypassing my fuckin' huge backlog in the process. It was pretty good. I was expecting Gon's transformation (which I spoiled myself on long ago) to be flashier and involve more screaming, but I like the way the show undercut it in favor of horror. And that ending... damn! I wasn't expecting the explosion. I hope both him and Killua are okay.

The post is written in an authoritative way that implies the developers did do it on purpose. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably lacks basic reading comprehension skills.

Actually, its chances of showing on Toonami haven't gotten worse, since we still don't have a premiere date for the new dub.

I think Toonami is pretty solid where it is. The only feasible expansion is to 10:30 for the next batch of new Titan episodes, just because of how simple that is. If Megalobox is replaced by a new one-cour series, that would end (accounting for marathons) in June, and probably late enough in the month that an Independence Day marathon would be an issue. Now, three weeks after the sub premiere is most likely for the premiere of AoT S3P2... but that's the weekend before Memorial Day, which also muddies the waters. They might just wait until after that and premiere on June 1, or it could be two weeks after the sub. Either way, I separate these ideas from each other.

Yeah... one of the people who helped spread the swatting rumor deleted their tweet, and they said the person who started it isn't mentally well. I normally detest the "LOL both sides" argument, but neither of 'em are looking good here. Even a broken South Park-themed clock is right sometimes.

Yuppers.

Point taken, but it actually gets a lot worse than that. Look under the spoiler of my reply to mochi for one of the most explicit examples.

Yeah... no ethical consumption and all that. I get it, although I am the kind of person who makes clear what I believe in, so it was at least nice to give them a slap on the wrist for that. But it does suck that you can't support the biggest purveyor of anime in North America without giving money to productions like this. And CR is so proud of this that it hurts. Regarding High Guardian Spice, it makes me wonder if they were even serious about making that show to begin with. Maybe someone who works for them took a closer look at Shield Hero, got horrified at what it represented, and then quickly commissioned the most generic Steven Universe-like bean mouth American show possible to preemptively satiate the libs? Either way, it doesn't seem like they stand for anything now.

That show is usually the answer to "What sports anime could Toonami feasibly air?" Maybe Megalobox is on the block now, but their point still stands. I'd try to watch it.

Caboose doesn't have a topical on his YouTube channel, so almost certainly not.

The last rerun slot doesn't matter anyway. If a fan of IBO wants to rewatch it, they've probably already bought the Blu-rays and are doing so now.

I've become really angry and cynical about the industry lately, although the #KickVic thing actually has little to do with it. I'm mostly miffed about Crunchyroll's decision to keep promoting that Shield Hero crap, to the point where I totally deleted my account with them. I'm wondering if I should ever give them my money again... but I'll cave eventually. It's just really sad to see everything come to this.

It's nice to see confirmation that they ended the blog because Tumblr sucks. As for the other news, I say good riddance. MHA never needed topical promos, and arguably not Boruto either.

If you didn't know about it until you looked at this thread, you did miss it... and honestly, there's no help for you.

It has more to do with the natural degradation of Toonami's ratings over time. Comparing Alicization to the last season, which aired in the revived block's highest-rated year, is just unfair.

The pacing was tolerable for me. Do you think it would've worked better as two episodes? The reason they made the premiere extra long is probably because the first half was something different that would've confused people without context, but I thought it would've made a great cliffhanger.

When you're presented with a giant pile of evidence suggesting that Vic did at least most of this, you should feel empathy for the victims. Claiming neutrality and blaming both sides is a bad tactic has to do with the conservative mindset invalidating the experiences of others that don't affect you. It could also be based off of someone's incapability to take a stand on anything that has even a whiff of politics, but that's a bizarre trait I haven't seen anywhere else. Now, the funny thing is when "anti-SJWs" try to claim that I'm enforcing my morality on others. I am, and rather proudly, but I'm not trying to be militant about it... which is something I can't say for the other side.
