Blatch

I was just wondering when Poke was going to do images again. As luck would have it... The Ancient Magus' Bride #15 Zombie Land Saga #6 Mr. Osomatsu S2 #1

Ah, come on. Why was I careless like that. I'll bump the chances up to 60/40 now.

You mean Countdown? Assuming "Fall 2019" means November like with previous TIEs, The Forge will arrive about two years after Countdown. In that case, a new TOM is a perfectly reasonable expectation to have.

We don't know if they're getting S2 immediately. I think there's about a 50/50 chance it happens, and that's being a little generous. CR may not have gotten a good handle on producing dubs yet, but it's been long enough since the first season ended that it's reasonable they've already started assembling the dub cast for more recording sessions.

Here's a hot take: I don't think Toonami was wrong to push for Boruto when they did. Putting personal reasons for hating it aside, they mismanaged the block so we don't know what its true ratings potential is, and that's hurt it more than any of its actual content. Now that we have a more traditional Toonami block debuting this weekend, we'll see what happens

Eh... this isn't a good look for ANN in particular, but I also question how a film with the backing of a cult was licensed over here to begin with. Eleven Arts should take some blame on that end.

The worst ratings ever: so good, they're back for one more round. There's probably nowhere to go but up from here, but the whims of the TV industry are strange.

They aired the first episode, right? I didn't remember of any of the thirty seconds to a minute that I watched of it.

Between the Sky and Sea #2 And that's it. The first episode I watched of any anime this year, if you didn't already see, was Made in Abyss #4, so talk about a downgrade.

Or we could bless Toonami with the wholehearted rapey goodness of The Rising of the Shield Hero! Well, not really. But there's this huge discourse about the MC of the show having a false rape accusation put against him, so he ends up getting his comeuppance by, through a way I don't know how, getting the accuser's legal name changed to "Bitch". Also, he owns slaves. I'm regretting that I ever predicted this show to air on the block at all.

I was talking about you failing the challenge.

Zombie Land Saga #5 to #7 Is that because the site briefly died over the summer? I made a general spreadsheet of what I watched over the year, and it includes anime as well as other shows and movies. You can tell where I really started slacking and got overtaken by schoolwork, video games, and/or general apathy, but I hope it gives an idea as to my media tastes. You can find it right here.

I like your intentions, but that's not Crunchyroll's doing at all. Sentai announced the dub long before the Funiroll deal broke up and any of this started.

Apparently, this was announced during the broadcast. Extremely dope TIE, here we come.

It's more that they're the type of people who accidentally leave the TV on and activate those damn Nielsen boxes.

Even with the power of a DB Super marathon, Toonami can't crack 500K in general. This might be the new normal... but the ratings will probably kick up a little when we go back to having the best possible lead-in.

Yeah... and as mentioned elsewhere, the holidays didn't stop [as] proper from airing new episodes of The Shivering Truth. I'm not a person who wants to watch anime every week, so I'm fine with the existence of marathons. And while I wish the people who complained about them so much weren't total asswipes, I do think they have a point.

It was, although there was a brief segment where it turned into a general talk thread. In a way, you got an expanded UEMB experience in one place.

I watched the first episode of Slime Isekai and liked it, but that had more to do with its weird sense of humor. Either way, I've always assumed it'd turn into another generic isekai where the protagonist is OP as fuck, regardless of what happens along the way. You also can't call it the first such series with an androgynous MC who goes around being kind to everyone, as Knight's & Magic did it first. Heck, in an excellent coincidence, both shows are made by the same animation studio. IMO, the only shows I've watched this year that'd be candidates for a best-of list are Megalobox and Planet With, but they're not as popular as everything else, so that must be why WatchMojo completely passed 'em by.

In hindsight, I really should've let the fat fetish avatar be a warning sign.

Yeah. I really don't get this user's methodology... do they keep posting nothing but but stuff because they become aroused by the negativity? I've already posted abstract proof that marathons don't cause Toonami's momentum to be shot. I could identify explicit examples, but I'm not going to, because doing that would require more energy than it took for the other person to start the argument, and I don't want to be beneath them. So therefore, if they're just casually ignoring my proof, I'm not going to bother correcting them, because it's clear that they are going to look for every single goddamn excuse to bring down the mood of everyone posting on these boards. The OP is probably a troll. I don't care about changing their mind anymore.

Okay, I'll post one more time. Marathons don't kill momentum. If they did, Toonami wouldn't air them as much. This year has actually had fewer marathons than any for Toonami in a long time, with none for Halloween and Thanksgiving as is usually tradition, but the block's ratings have crashed due to other outside factors. I've really got to stop investing so much energy into coercing a single person's opinions.

And now you're shifting the argument back to the original point because you want any excuse to be a whiny fucking bitch. Welp, that's it. I'm not bothering with this thread anymore.

Jason has said time and time again that the only people who should ever worry about ratings are the people who program TV shows. The Toonami crew will do whatever it takes to keep the shows on the air, so in that regard, there's nothing you need to do. And Tuner has said that they're trying to stick it to the man by not relying on the Nielsen system anymore, so that particular point isn't very accurate. All you need to do is watch the shows and enjoy them, and nothing else. Is that hard to understand?

It's Santa TOM (5), you uncultured dope.
