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.

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.

And now, without further ado, here's the first reply. This is discussing Toonami for the week of June 30, 2018... FLCL Progressive (Offering you every single fetish under the sun, plus some surprisingly conservative politics.) Pop Team Epic (All it really needs is more Touhou references.) Dragon Ball Super (IMO, pretty much everyone was made a fool of in this episode, and I think Vegeta deserved it the most.) Hunter × Hunter (It's amazing how a one-off character voiced by LittleKuriboh wasn't even in the top three of crazy things to happen this week.) Lupin the Third, Part IV (Stop using the word "secrets" so much. It now could mean almost anything to me.) My Hero Academia (Once you hear Monica Rial's nasally voice, you might never be able to unassociate it from Tsuyu... or, in my case, Tomoko.) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (An arc that revolved around video games ended up being one of the most boring in the show? Go figure.)

Here's a tradition from a long time ago, back on the ASMB. Some dude with the username "CowboyBebop4Ever" would do a weekly series of threads (such as this one) where people could do a top ten of the anime to air that weekend. I've decided to bring it back in a more compressed form with this thread, because critical analysis is fun. On the other hand, I typically don't watch every show that airs on Toonami every time, so I just rank what I do, hence the more general thread name. Just for reference, or in case you're too lazy to click on another thread, the current Toonami schedule is below. Have fun.

Oof... it turns out that removing DBZ Kai makes everything go down sooner. A year or two ago, My Hero Academia would've been trashed for not being the post-Dragon Ball "savior" to improve the ratings. But hey, very little Toonami has aired can do that, and the shows are still doing great in the demographics.

The ASMB definitely isn't coming back, but if it did, I would happily rejoin. I was able to carve out a niche for myself alongside two or three other users to create a positive posting environment. It also helps that I'm not one to care about my post count, so it wouldn't be a big deal to start fresh.

So you want them to pull a Kujibiki Unbalance and actually make the parody? Keep in mind, that show actually sold better than the second season of the series (Genshiken) it spun off from. I do think having a one-off Girldrop episode, let alone the actual show in its full length, would be great. Make it as an OVA for the next Poptepipic season.

I don't think all of the jokes are like that. Heck, the very first segment of the entire show (as in, after the parody OP) had an obvious punchline. And then the Bob Epic Team segment at the end was a postmodern reversion of it, with infinitely worse animation. Another one I really liked was the your name. parody; it's one thing to actually reference the movie, but this show really sold it by having a faux-RADWIMPS track playing in the background. And then everything blew up.

Wait, why is there a Mars symbol there? It doesn't look like they're a crossdresser, unless those boobs are actually breast padding. I'm going to assume she's just into dudes, rather than this being an inexplicable Himegoto reference. Megalo Box #13 (END)

I'd like to answer a few questions about the show so far... First of all, the Bob Epic Team (or, as the weebs call it, Bobunemimi) segments have different voices from the rest of the episode. On the other hand, these voices are the same every time they appear. In the sub, they're played by the two guys from AC-bu, the sort-of company that actually animates the segments. But for the dub, you're going to be hearing Christopher Sabat and Ian Sinclair every time. The first episode has the "A" cast for Popuko and Pipimi voiced by two guys, while the "B" cast has a man for the former and a woman for the latter. Again, this is the same as how Japan did it. For every subsequent episode, the "A" cast is two ladies, and the "B" cast is two men. I'm surprised the French segment didn't get more attention, but that dude is not Thomas Romain; his name might be in the credits if you feel like scouting it out, and if not, it's definitely on the ANN encyclopedia. You're gonna be seeing more of him in future episodes, and his segments have the same layout as what was done here: the first play is untranslated, but the rerun is. Now, there are supposed to be two different EDs to go with the gendered casts, but they only played an edit of the female version, so that might be all we get. Both of them happen to be iDOLM@STER-themed, which tremendously pleases me. Additionally, Sumire Uesaka (Anastasia's seiyuu) sang in the Hoshiiro Girldrop parody, and you'll also hear her in the regular OP starting next week. There actually is a reason for why the the show repeats. It was originally going to be an 11-minute short, but the production committee apparently booked a full-length timeslot against the staff's wishes. Bkub Okawa, who created PPTP, suggested that they dub each episode over with different voices and play it right after the original version. This might explain why the anime was delayed from the Fall 2017 season to the start of this year. Finally, fidget spinners were more of a 2017 thing, but the anime was announced around the height of their popularity. The delay suggests that the joke involving them may have been serious, although with Bkub's irony-drenched style of humor, there's no way to really tell. I thought it was funny. This is probably way too much for anyone to type regarding this show, and I'm really only doing it for my own enjoyment. But if it does help you, that's okay.
