Blatch

You know, DeMarco recently said they were going to announce the next Toonami show at Anime Expo, but legal issues came up and they had to "hold it". Maybe it would've come at the AoT panel.

I'm not sure. At the very least, I think it's a good show, but probably not on par with the original. On the other hand, once I have some time to fully process its themes (which will definitely require a rewatch), I think I'll like it more and know how it stands up amongst the FLCL canon. Part of this is due to that the show ended up swerving in a different direction than I anticipated; I thought it was doing to be "progressive" in more ways than just the title, if you know what I mean, even though the original series arguably wasn't that political.

Like a sadistic game of limbo, Toonami's numbers get lower... although it still wins in the demographics. At this point, I don't have any honest idea why they still release the data.

Didn't Kadokawa intentionally leak an announcement for this to try and make people forget about the Kemono Friends scandal? That's probably all I'll ever think of it (and the franchise itself) from now on.

So Buu ended up leaving the boards over this? Honestly, I'm smitten. I feel like I wouldn't have openly commented about blocking them if I knew it'd make them upset. Still, considering how other people reacted, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

Log Horizon S1E2 and S1E3 How to Keep a Mummy #5 On a related note, I like seeing other people blend viewings of simulcasts and such with older shows.

I actually thought it was "Do Your Best, Ide!", somehow getting the MHA episode's title (and Iida) mixed up with it.

Is it a more anime anime than Akame ga Kill!, or is that show still unmatched? And Promare, too. I feel like that's going to be the biggest hit, if only because of how long it's been since we first heard about it. You know how much people love their hot-blooded robot shows.

Actually, this is a recap episode. I have to wonder if we even need a thread for it.

So if it comes, it'll probably be on the 11th. Well, AX has an Attack on Titan panel tomorrow, so why not announce it there?

This is another one of those episodes even the dedicated DB fans think is hilarious, so I'll make sure to tune in. And hey, at least Vegeta isn't the one being made fun of this time... so says one person in particular.

Well, I guess I think it's reasonable that I'd remember what entire shows I've watched over a long period of time. On the other hand, some streaming services try to make it easier. Crunchyroll keeps track of every episode you watch while logged into an account, so if you're unsure as to if you've watched a show there, you can just go to the show page and it'll tell you if you started and/or which episode you left off on. And for the record, I'm also keeping a log of all the anime I'm watching this year, but that's something I wouldn't hold to anyone else. Some people genuinely don't care.

Poke had that one rated as TV-14 straight; I went with PGV. Either way, it ain't a gigantic deal.

Okay, wow. That was not a warranted response. I've put you on ignore in turn. All of these people saying that they haven't watched anything at all since MAL went down seems stupid to me in a way that's too extreme to represent with mere words. Why the heck should anyone have to keep track of the shows they've watched? It feels too autistic even for me.

Well, that went by fast. If anyone wants to make a thread for discussing the rerun, I'll happily give it to you.

I didn't even think of new Attack on Titan replacing Dandy. They could probably move a bunch of shit down so the former can return on the 11th, in an interesting parallel of when the first season premiered. FLCL Progressive is definitely going to rerun, and I don't see those getting pulled or even moved down unless it's an insane bomb. It'd be stupid to shunt it to 2:30 only to bring the slot back up a month later to premiere Alternative.

We already have a backdoor schedule for July 21. If tomorrow reveals a blank slate for 7/28, that would pretty much confirm it right away. Now, I really don't want this thread to degenerate into mindless speculation, so I'll just say that I hope the Toonami fans are accepting of DiU. It's apparently going to be a much different story compared to the previous three parts, although Stands will still be featured.

Awesome! So they're not taking a break after all. Now we just need an Attack on Titan S3 announcement. They'll have to expand the block for it at this point, but I think that's possible.

Why do you think that? Because Trigger made it? It isn't even their own show; A-1 Pictures is co-producing it, and I've heard most of the staff typically work for them. On the other hand, Gridman('s animation, because Tsuburaya Productions is the rights holder) is all Trigger, all the time.

Recovery of an MMO Junkie #1 (rewatch) The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater S3 #1 That's the TV and online episodes put together. At this point, semantics are all I want.

Does anyone else get a message when loading this page saying that ProgrammingInsider is an unsafe site? I don't visit them enough, so I have no idea if they've actually hosted a phishing scam...

Bebop: The last Toonami rerun, although I never got to watch "My Funny Valentine" or "Black Dog Serenade" due to DVR issues. Trigun: When Toonami aired Badlands Rumble. FLCL: The rerun before Progressive. Evangelion: 1.11 and half of 2.22 on the last weekend of 2014. Wolf's Rain: I've never seen it. InuYasha: Final Act on Toonami. GiTS: Only a few rerun episodes last year. Fullmetal Alchemist: Again, when Toonami aired both movies. I need to work on watching the classics.

Well damn, this has taken too long even for me. I just wanted to check something to verify the rating, but I was too lazy to do it for several weeks. My apologies. But at least you already know what's coming. Log Horizon Episode 1: "The Apocalypse"

I think this is why they aren't airing it as a same-day simuldub. The difference in ratings between that and a regular fast dub would probably be negligible. And besides, I've seen the KissAnime streaming numbers, and they heavily favor the sub. On the other hand, we don't know if Funi still wants a true simultaneous release. We might end up with a situation like Black Clover where the dub airs on TV a few weeks after it begins streaming.

Well damn, 67% retention for My Hero? That can't entirely be the show's fault. Like other people, I'm personally hedging on Dr. Slump tanking the night. Obviously, next week won't be much better for Super, but what about the next several months of filler and slow-paced table setting before the Universe Survival arc begins? FLCL could drop to... like, #9 on the list.
