Nah. Crunchyroll is too busy dragging their feet with archive releases.

I thought you were referring to Attack on Titan at first. That show has actually moved to NHK (basically, public television for Japan) for Season 3, although it airs at about the same time. I guess it didn't have any recapping for its premiere, too. [do what you want with this information]

My bet is on Mr. Osomatsu, which may or may not have to do with why Viz hasn't announced fucking anything about their license in the past year.

Seeing that PPTP had a bigger audience than usual for Hellshake Yano warms the cockles of my heart. This is its best rating since the premiere... I mean, it doesn't completely matter, but when this show is nice, it's pretty dang nice, so it should be respected.

To me, it feels like every thread about this Voltron show is a soul-sucking vortex from which little constructive commentary can escape. For one thing, I've heard more talk about the show having and/or not having gay relationships much more than any actual action. I think Jman had a complaint along those lines. At least these are easier to ignore when they're not in the Toonami thread. If the mods could move this one, that'd be great.

Huh... I have the most of the same complaints. The whole final arc had too much dialogue to be enjoyable, in the vein of Hellsing. A lot of shorter arcs, and even some individual episodes (like the one with Soul Sacrifice), definitely had more action. I didn't mind Joseph being resurrected because it completely fits with the ridiculous nature of the show. What is kind of annoying is how he didn't become a vampire afterward. Basically, someone I follow on Twitter pointed out that there isn't enough blood in Joseph's body for him to be revived on his own, and a bit of DIO's would have to have be mixed in to work. And its been established that someone being infused with a vampire's blood turns them into a vampire as well. How come this guy isn't immortal now? Also, how is it possible that Star Platinum can completely disembowel enemies? That feels like the real asspull to me, especially since DIO had already been punched many times before, but just one or two seconds was enough to do that. Maybe Jotaro knew he had that power but never used it, since there was no Stand user he thought was worthy of death... not even Dan of Steel or Alessi. But since DIO killed his great-great-grandfather, it was obvious that he would have to fry. On to the next one.

It's just so you know.

It's already been almost two years since the new season was greenlit. Virtually all other anime are announced, produced, and then completely aired in that amount of time. The only way I can rationalize this is so that the animation studio (J.C. Staff, in this case) can make it look as brain-meltingly great as the first season. Yeah, the first week or so of 2020 is a while from now, but there are lots of other anime to watch. You don't have to hyperfocus on any one that you especially want to see.

In this case, it's not "skipped" so much as that the TV license probably doesn't include it. There are probably other such examples for Toonami shows.

Unfortunately, if you were hoping for Season 2 of OPM to air right after Toonami's rerun, you're shit out of luck. At least the wait means it's almost certain to look pretty.

All righty then. This is a good substitute for the "Hero Notebook" recap episode, even if this season could benefit from being massively compressed. Also, with the schedule being clear, this is now confirmed to be the longest marathon in Toonami history (in terms of original content), as well as the second schedule overall since early 2015 to run for 6.5 hours. I dare you to stay up and watch it live to the end.

Actually... yeah, that wasn't a good idea. And it does relate to my personal politics, even though they're a lot more complex than just hating the guy in charge of everything. I'll try to be less caustic when posting for right now.

But... that time is enough to air only twelve episodes. So they're either expanding to 4:30 just for the night (more likely, IMO) or maybe airing fewer commercials so they can fit an extra episode into a shorter amount of time. Why does every single announcement Toonami makes, no matter how simple it should be, manage to invite pointless speculation? As I've said before, it's driving me mad.

Oh, so he's completely unaware of the show's parody elements? Of course, those largely went away by... like, the third season, but regardless, that wouldn't be fun. Of course, I'm not sure if he watches much TV beyond Fox and Friends, plus whatever white nationalist-flavored propaganda they've been showing lately.

Most of America is having a bad week right now, and this happens all the time. I'm not doing so bad, though. One thing keeping me sane for right now is my belief that TOM should say "fuck Trump" on air, uncensored.

Oh, so now Black Clover is suddenly beating the shows before it. When does it get moved back up to 11:30? Pretty much all of TV was doing better back then, on top of you cherry-picking the absolute best date. But, honestly, I've become really annoyed at the idea of anyone having a near-encyclopedic knowledge of Toonami history, which is needed largely because we have so much bantering about the Toonami shows and what's going to be replaced by anything else, in addition to ratings banner that borders on insanity. Pretty much the only way you could've made that post more annoying was openly wondering if Toonami should play another David Gilmour music video to boost ratings. In addition, the fact that you appended the laughing reaction to a direct insult seems to indicate that you are completely incapable of being shamed. At least that's a valuable skill to have.

The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater S3E6 Sweet Punishment #1 to #3 The latter's sub has actually been out for months. I didn't know because I never looked at Sukebei.

Screw off.

I don't mean to complain, but reading text like this just bugs the hell out of me. The first part shouldn't be capitalized, and the last is spelled wrong.

Speaking of going for the classics... Nichijou #2 iDOLM@STER Cinderella Typing Out the Full Title is Annoying S3E5 [web episodes are kill]

Most of the DB fans I've seen seem to think the Universe Survival arc has the same problems as the rest of the show, and in some ways, they're doubled down on. On the other hand, at least the last few episodes of it are great.

Well, that's going to confuse people. Why not rerun Progressive's premiere a third time instead?

They didn't do a marathon for the 4th of July this year, so I'd like to believe that they've gotten more sane about planning them. As for Attack on Titan, it has no TV-MA episodes. The sixth episode of S1 was apparently rated TV-MAV at some point, but they changed it to 14DLV before it aired, like what was done with an episode of Space Dandy. Regardless, they could absolutely air reruns at 8:30 if they wanted to.

Way to go, slugger. Attack on Titan gets a much better slot for its new season, but might be slightly disadvantaged as the third show on the block. On the other hand... man, they're really trying to make Deku and friends be popular. We'll see if that translates to better ratings, since this show has been shitting the bed relative to DB Super seemingly even by the normal standards. Objectively, the best part of this schedule will be not having the content warning come on midway through the hour anymore. That's always bugged the shit out of me.

A lot of the hate for that show is because many think "being cliche = bad", but the truth is, you can have a show that's jam-packed with tropes of all sorts and have it still be a hit. I felt that way about Megalo Box; the content of the show is your typical "average Joe tries to become a boxing champion", but how everything is presented elevates it into an excellent production. On the other hand, BC's animation and composition leave much to be desired. I still don't understand the "PPTP doesn't have punchlines" argument, but considering that this thread has taken a political turn, I'll probably flee it forever before I try to answer that again.
