Blatch

It feels dishonest of them to put scenes from the second season in when they're only playing all of S1. I mean, why not play those first three episodes and extend the marathon all the way to 6:00A? As well, while this promo is okay to mention that Deku used to not have a quirk, they should probably stop whoring that out after this. It's become largely irrelevant to the story after around the fourth episode. For that matter, the official promos should stop saying it as well. Just tell us the plot of whatever's happening now, damnit.

How kinky. Wow, they renged on the Venture Bros. encore really fast. Now I'm wondering why they even scheduled it to begin with, as these attempts never seem to work.

Well then... okay. As far as the four temperaments are concerned, I am easily melancholic.

I've used Crunchy's Wii U app for years, and I haven't had a lot of problems with it. On the other hand, there was an issue with my streams being dropped, so I would often have to restart the console... but that turned out to be a problem with the wireless internet in my house. It went away after we switched providers.

Why in the fuck would you not watch a series because you already know how it sounds? I mean, if you think that the dub isn't very good and you'll hold out for the sub instead, that's reasonable... but not bothering with it at all defeats the entire purpose of watching things to begin with.

My biggest issue is why they're premiering this on Crunchyroll and not VRV, as that service has been adding a lot of classic western cartoons lately and also already has several originals. Also, how come Jman's post isn't that the next thing they should do is make a Cannon God Exaxxion anime?

Yeah... I'm convinced Children Who Chase Lost Voices was a fluke, while Mind Game was an intentional exception for April Fools'. Toonami ain't ever doing movies again. On the other hand, early 2020 for them premiering a new Dragon Ball show does sound realistic. And isn't Dragon Ball Heroes a short series? That's probably never going to air on our block.

I halfway think it was actually me who coined the term. "Unholy megabomb" does feel like something four years ago's Blatch would come up with, and one that I would constantly cringe at. When did they do the FLCL Alternative premiere? It couldn't have been after the SDCC panel, because I remember the stream showing the final episode of Progressive (for the stream only) instead.

Who coined that term, exactly? Was it yourself? I think it's a microcosm of Toonami's ratings weirdness when a show as hype as AoT has its new season premiere this low. Maybe they should've pushed for a world premiere... except I can't even assume that would do better, as way more people seem to be watching the sub. But don't worry, because I'm sure the ratings will go up when FLCL Alternative premieres... and then they permanently go down by 100K again.

Yeah... I really need to get back to posting here. I'm going to do two episodes of Log Horizon next; the post is largely done. I just need to make the images and it'll be ready to go. I'll start doing posts more often after that, too.

IMO, that AC-bu can't do the main segment of every episode is one of PPTP's biggest weaknesses. It would be much better than the lame parodies of various genres of TV shows and movies we get hogging up each episode. [that's an unironic complaint of mine]

So I guess this is the only show where we actually want Kenny to die? I mean, I really detest... Uh, nevermind. No politics in the anime threads, of course.

This is assuming Cowboy Bebop leaves, right? I have a feeling they'll actually do a third run of that in a row, and maybe even keep rerunning it indefinitely until they lose the rights. If there's one show that'll always be an [as] evergreen, it's that one. If anything, an 8:30 weekday rerun of PPTP is just as likely, if not more.

NHK is where the new Cardcaptor Sakura anime aired, as well as Log Horizon. They've occasionally dabbled in it, but not with a show this popular.

I really need to watch AoT again... from the beginning, that is. In the early Toonami days, I had someone who didn't like the show take up space on my Twitter feed; they ended up warping my opinion of the show, and I parroted some of their opinions without critically examining them. But then I watched Season 2 (after unfollowing them), and I liked it a lot more. The last half in particular was really intense, and Bryce Papenbrook's voice acting as Eren was so angry and good that I feel it'd be tough to watch those episodes a second time. On top of that, the pacing wasn't too bad, and it made me wonder if the first season should get a new appraisal. Let's go, new season. I'm already spoiled on much of what happens, but that's just business by now.

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.
