  1. The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater (Web) #1 to #13 Interviews with Monster Girls #3 and #4 The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater (Web) #14 to #26 The iDOLM@STER #25 and #26 (END) I apologize for all these idols. I put them all in one post so you can go back to ignoring them soon. Of course, it helps that the online-based Gekijou episodes are only a minute and a half each.
  2. The best hope for OPM S2 is that, since a vast majority of actual anime production is freelance work, the production companies can bring together all of the animators who made the first season so great. The actual studio doesn't always matter, and I definitely think more people should know that. I don't own the Blu-ray, so I can't give any exact information about the OVAs. However, they're apparently of the typical "light anime comedy" mold.
  3. I actually think the bigger issue this time is with Crunchyroll. Everything they license by themselves seems to come out at least a year later than if Funi gets it, then punts the subbed simulcast rights over to them. Kantai Collection first premiered in the Winter 2015 season, then didn't come out on Blu-ray for two-and-a-half years. Re:Zero has taken a similar path. And then you've got poor KonoSuba!, which hasn't even been licensed yet after more than two years since it premiered. It would tremendously suck if this means Megalo Box won't get dubbed until 2020. At some point, Funi should do something to get all of these backlogged shows from CR out of the way.
  4. Megalo Box pwns everything, as it rightfully should. I am 200% ready for this show to get dubbed and air on Toonami.
  5. I'd say so, at least for this particular industry. The biggest downside to not being a full member is that you can't vote on the contract actually provided by the union, although you can still participate in collective bargaining. There's also the matter of the dues you're paying through fi-core compared a to full membership. You typically pay less, but only by a single- or low double-digit percentage; it's important you still support them for what a union job gives you.
  6. Or he could drop out of the union in favor of financial core status. Basically, it doesn't count as a full union membership, but you do get most of the benefits when working for one, and it doesn't prevent you from working on non-union stuff. This is probably what most California-based VAs do, especially if they also pursue work in Texas... you know, because of those damn right-to-work laws.
  7. You know, they technically haven't announced a premiere date for the new season. It's just that everybody assumes it'll start in the fall because there's a special screening for the first episode in August. And... uh, before you go on theorizing again, I really doubt Viz is going to give this a quick dub. Heck, I'm still waiting for any updates on Mr. Osomatsu's dub, and that one was announced months ago.
  8. That's kind of strange. It might have to do with Steve being an union guy, since the majority of anime dubs produced nowadays aren't union-based. However, I've heard that there have been some produced in California as of late, mostly by Netflix and their dubbing studios.
  9. Very much yes. Talk about the actual shows, and not the ratings. All of this endless fearmongering, theorizing, and speculating is a cancer upon these forums.
  10. The iDOLM@STER Episode 24: "Dream"
  11. This is the typical dialogue for when there's a down week, and it's lacking substance. The ratings are bad! Except when they aren't! Maybe... for what it's worth, everything after FLCL was stable despite the lower numbers. That's all I need to see to chalk this night up to not being a failure. At this point, what would it even take for a night of Toonami to lose money? Dragon Ball Super under 800K? My Hero Academia not even getting a half-million, and everything else being a hundred thousand lower than usual?
  12. Mr. Osomatsu #18 Magical Girl Ore #6 The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Theater (TV) #21 to #26 Megalo Box #6 I also started a Girl's Last Tour rewatch. Sadly, I can't get to the ones I haven't gotten to yet for over a month. Thanks, HIDIVE.
  13. The actual news is that this show got a continuation. And it started airing near the end of February for some crazy reason.
  14. How in the heck did you post this thread twice? And this is on top of not noticing I already made the JoJo's thread.
  15. Prepare to reunite with some old friends on tonight's episode... but not the guy who's returned to take this thread. Also, it's TV-MALV.
  16. This is a worthwhile point. I've seen you make it before, and it's nice to see the most concise version of it in one place. It's also news to me that you actually are disabled, although knowing in what way isn't required. There's one thing that trips me up on this, though. MHA portrays the Quirk system as being a spectrum. You could have a really great power that lets you get all the superhero work you want, or you might have something that's rather useful, but only in niche circumstances. On the other hand, you could like Deku's mom and have something (as in, being able to move objects within a few feet of your body) that's largely useless. For what it's worth, the show portrays her as a normal person who isn't much better off than the 20% of the population who don't have Quirks. Heck, there are probably some that are outright hindrances. Ultimately, I prefer to mix the powerless in with those who aren't well-equipped enough to handle serious superhero work. I imagine there are probably a lot of them; maybe even an outright majority. And if there are fewer able-bodied people than those with good powers, this turns the disability angle on its head. In this case, the moral is more "If you want to be a successful hero, you'll have to get lucky." Deku at least had the excuse of being a generally nice person who would be a worthy recipient for someone to give powers to, which is more idealistic. He didn't have a Quirk to start with, but I don't know if it's possible for someone's original Quirk to be altered in any way. Maybe there are ways to amplify one's power, or even swap it out for something completely different.
  17. I guess the divide here is not so much how objectively good the show is, but some of us being disappointed because it doesn't go in the direction we want it to. I mean, if I cared about this work being about a powerless kid who still wants to be a hero in spite of it, and then it took a switchback into a more typical story, I would probably be pissed as well. But I've heard enough praise from the anime, between critics and casual fans, to want to keep watching this regardless of whatever the final premise ends up being. I guess it boils down to me not really caring, which is a perfectly fine thing to do.
  18. Well this is very much not what happened to Metalocalypse. I actually have not watched Season 3 beyond the first two episodes. I hope it's not as middling (nor as oppressively dark) as other people have made it out to be.
  19. I have no idea if sweeps have ever mattered for cable television. For that matter, they've become much less relevant on the major networks in the last few years. Are you continuing to say this just to annoy me?
  20. They probably will do that. From this point, it's pretty easy to predict what marathons will happen. FLCLs Progressive and Alternative will probably get their own weekends, and those will probably be Labor Day and Halloween respectively. Thanksgiving's marathon could be pretty much anything, but I'm thinking they slip another run of Samurai Jack S5 in there, or maybe My Hero Academia gets one. December could have a run of both new FLCL seasons back-to-back to go along with the requisite Dragon Ball Super marathon. After all, even if this FLCL marathon is the longest, the one they did for Attack on Titan S1 still had more unique content.
  21. They're right. I don't think there's a better way to celebrate than skipping Toonami entirely. As a side note, since they're doing this weird tactic with staggering the second run, the marathon should be 6 1/2 hours long, making it the absolute longest in Toonami history.
  22. The only show that's done considerably well airing after DBZ is One-Punch Man, to the point where it outrated the O.G. Kai on several occasions. It seems all you really need is anything with superheroes.
  23. That's a good showing for MHA's premiere. It's not as if it was going to flop spectacularly, but I like to know there are other people watching the show with us.
  24. It works well on my phone, which has pretty unremarkable specs.
