dragon ball super Dragon Ball Super Episode 83 Discussion
Blatch replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Nevermind. -
I'm the same way, except using uBlock Origin. Anyway, I don't think the pinned tweet's article is an exaggeration. People seem to think that way because they don't listen to the music [as] specializes in, but to name a really big example, Run the Jewels wouldn't have become a thing if it weren't for Jason lending a commercial hand to both of its key artists. There's also the whole concept of offering free tracks to get people introduced to a band they might like, either through the Adult Swim Singles program or older compilations like Ghostly Swim. Those have probably worked for a lot in both camps.

Wow... I see Toonami is bigger than ever now.
Blatch replied to ProjectRevolt25's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Nice job stealing this for a worthy topic discussion. If it's taking this long to update a schedule, they're probably rerunning Alternative and Bebop, and nothing new is premiering. Why would they wait until a single week out to announce anything? -
It's not really an "underdog" hit because I'm seeing quite a few people talk about it on my... actually, nevermind. Let's see what the MAL score is like in a few months.

And it's over... again. I still haven't watched past the second episode.

stream 2018 Weekly Streaming Archives
Blatch replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
What if they never bother to remove it? I'd laugh at the prospect of them steaming nothing but Gundam Unicorn for at least the rest of 2018, if not forever. I mean, it's what you actually want... more Gundam on Toonami, or a place adjacent to it. And the marathon stream is a lost cause anyway. -
Don't forget an MLB playoff game. Really, there's no reason to be mad at last weekend when so much shit was going on.

Why would there be a correlation? The confirmation was over hours before Toonami started. If there was a contingent of viewers who didn't watch because they were so depressed at how unbelievably goddamn shitty the world is, I understand, but at the same time, escapist entertainment is self-care I'm sure all of these people deserve. And... well, I think I'm going to take a break from this thread for a while. It's like a knife jabbing bad thoughts into my thigh.

Show announcement: Megalo Box on December 8
Blatch replied to Blatch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I know you like to be optimistic, but considering they got away with rerunning all of Progressive without changing its slot, it's obvious they'll do the same for this. Pre-Flight is on tonight, but they don't seem to announce anything on there outside of simulcasted convention panels. Wait for a Facebook post this weekend, is what I'm saying. -
So what? Dragon Ball is Dragon Ball. Even other popular shonen series would struggle to fill that many seats, except for maybe My Hero Academia.

Show announcement: Megalo Box on December 8
Blatch replied to Blatch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
People were expecting something new to replace FLCL Alternative on October 20, but now it looks like that show is rerunning. And there isn't an official schedule for that week yet, so we'll have to see if certain things get moved around. -
I've watched the first two episodes of Alternative, and although I've enjoyed both of them, it definitely feels like this show would've worked better as a completely independent project. One big complaint I have against both new FLCL shows is actually something I haven't seen anybody else mention: why do they have to be only six episodes? Just because the O.G. series was only this long doesn't mean you have to do that again. I feel like this is limiting the potential of both of them. Progressive suffered from not taking advantage of many plot points and having to abandon them by the season's end, like with amusement park and the shady dodo mascot running it. Also, they could've used more time to balance out the self-indulgence of the action scenes with more relaxed moments to make Hidomi more developed. I think if Production I.G. had only commissioned one new series, using Progressive's plot as a baseline and all the best ideas from it and Alternative expanded into a 12-episode plot, this idea might have worked better. And also, they could've used a budget higher than what most TV anime get. That won't always make a show look better, but it does seem to help most of the time.

The key art seems to stylize it as two words. Personally, I just think typing it as one looks awkward, and it's worse if completely capitalized. But enough of discussing semantics... I'm hyped to see Joe take on the world all over again. -
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime #1 Planet With #5 I didn't watch the former willingly, but it was actually pretty fun.

They even spelled the title correctly! Awesome. The premiere date is a little weird, but I'm sure other announcements will clarify why it is soon.

If the FLCL sequels had aired at least two years ago and got proportional numbers to now, they'd probably be considered failures. But hey, at least Toonami's lowered expectations means you can spin practically anything into a success, and it's also why I think the fact that we still have a ratings discussion thread is proof of mass psychosis. As for Attack on Titan, the hype has definitely died down since Season 1 finished, and that's contributed to lower ratings. I blame this mostly on the current trend of hyperconsumption in the anime industry, where people get bored waiting for new seasons of shit and then get preoccupied with other shows. But, on the other hand, I don't think S3 starting with a very slow arc about politics is doing the show any favors. I didn't think the last season was too bad, but there are probably many who thought the show took a turn for the worse, and then this was the final straw that made them stop watching.

Flower Fairies Mage Floral Yumi #1 Working!! #1
-
I watched a tiny bit of the first episode before I went to bed on Saturday night/Sunday morning. One thing I noticed was that they didn't use the typical space-y graphics for the pillarboxing; there were pure black bars instead. I wonder if they were hardcoded in as part of the remaster, because there's no other reason to treat it differently.

Blatch replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Awesome. I'll have to get some shots in around here as well. You'll probably murder the ratings for tonight, but it'll be in good fun.
