Can you please stop?

Well that must have been uncomfortable for many... as in the music video, let alone Polnareff's Bizarre Pedophilia Adventure. It came out of downright nowhere, not showing up on the on-air despite having a content rating, and it wasn't even mentioned this week's Pre-Flight. I wonder if this Jason suddenly aired this to let his frustrations out after the recent bombings in Syria.

Yeah... I've already talked at length about this, but airing subbed shows is pretty much the exact opposite of what Toonami stands for, and it also completely defeats the point of why they did the April Fools' gag to begin with. But maybe it actually could happen. I'm thinking we get a more typical announcement on Facebook some time during the week. If they have to do another delay for some unholy reason, my first guess would be a rerun of Samurai Jack S5 being added.

Isn't that the show the banned Mr. Osomatsu episode was parodying? Well, some of it, before it all went to hell... like what's going on right now. The iDOLM@STER Episode 22: "On the Holy Night"

Was it actually competent before? I just guess I'm happy they're playing more of each show. -
flcl FLCL (FOOLY COOLY) Classic (Season 1) Discussion!!
Blatch replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I am so down, mostly because it means I can watch the slot before JoJo's again. -
Well, only one anime with a heavy S&M quotient was getting licensed this season, and it sure as hell wasn't Sweet Punishment. Ironically, that one isn't even being fansubbed right now, presumably because the uncensored version hasn't been released as normal and thus they're waiting for the BDs. Ho hum.

I watched the first episode of this as part of the anime club, and while it wasn't all the way there for me, I did like it. It did a lot to set up the show as a good pilot should, with some world building, but also some proof-of-concept scenes about the titular sport and its tournament. You know... boxing, but with these robotic exoskeletons, except when they're built into peoples' bodies. Parts of it also gave me some Redline vibes, mostly with how raw the action was, as well as the scenes in the desert with the hero getting some tuning work done on his equipment. So that was pretty nice.

The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board

Oh... so I assumed it based on my personal ratings chart not showing them. Got it. -
The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Blatch replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Well, yeah. I probably should've disambiguated that. And GiTS actually got preempted in back-to-back weeks: first by a Halloween marathon, and then by the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie airing as a DST special after that. -
Not quite! Unfortunately, the show is so expensive to buy that it's probably not worth it to most people. And you probably won't see a release of any future seasons, because Pony Canyon has stopped doing physical releases in America... even though they still license new shows somewhat often, which makes no sense and me kind of angry.

The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Blatch replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I have not watched the video (because ani-tubers don't really appeal to me), but I hope whoever made this doesn't think FLCL is replacing Black Clover outright. I get that some of us have a hateboner for it, but come on. Because of the FLCL situation, I do think there's going to be a marathon on either June 30 or July 7. If a new show is replacing DBZ Kai (which I'm edging towards based on recent DeMarco comments), they would more likely have the marathon on the latter date. FLCL Progressive would break before its final episode, but they have done this a few times before, with Black Lagoon and Samurai Champloo. It's not unnatural compared to preempting a show after it airs just one episode, which they've never done. Now, on the other hand, they're being set up for quite the boondoggle in late June no matter what happens. I have to imagine that a new show would be better off airing after 11:00, but I'm not sure if they could mess with FLCL Progressive's timeslot in the middle of its short run, especially since the change would happen on the week of the final episode assuming the 7/7 marathon. But at the same time, I'm not sure if any new show, even the absolute heaviest heavyweights (Attack on Titan, et al.) could suffice at a timeslot where only Samurai Jack and DBZ Kai have aired new episodes. We'll see about this, though... they might just be bold enough to use the post-DBS slot for well-hyped anime that need exposure, and I would not at all be opposed to the idea. Toonami did flirt with losing a half-hour last year, so I could see 10:30 being dropped for just a couple of weeks. One issue with this is that I guess Dragon Ball Super airing at 10:30 was part of the contract they negotiated with Toei; it has to be in primetime or else they can't air new episodes. To combat this, they could bring back the 8:00 p.m. rerun for a couple of weeks, or maybe even air reruns in the interlude to let Funi catch up on the dub. And it just so happens that the Future Trunks saga ends on June 16, the exact week DBZ Kai ends. They could rerun the last few episodes of that arc (albeit with its infamous ending) without a gigantic heap of controversy. But getting back to the other point, FLCL Progressive ends on July 14, so after that they can add the slot back and mess with the schedule however they please. This is probably the easiest way for Attack on Titan S3 to air; at this point, a same-day simuldub will probably happen, but I'm not sure if they can risk airing it on Toonami. Finally, I think it's very likely GiTS 2ND GiG is replaced with a new show; considering how far down it is, that's prime territory for the "confusing" show Jason hinted at to air. And so ends my speculation that's about three paragraphs longer than it needed to be. [it's free real estate] -
If Toonami actually thinks airing Toriko is a good idea and would actually earn them viewers, they should be straight up cancelled. Funi even stopped dubbing it after releasing about third of the episodes, so yeah. I would, however, be okay with Boruto airing, since I know I can just ignore it for as long as I want to. Regarding the tweet... the way DeMarco says "in the pocket" could indicate that it's something we're actually expecting them to get. So maybe Tokyo Ghoul;re? It could also be more Attack on Titan or JoJo's, but those shouldn't be ready for a while. And with how he says one of them will make us psyched, I still have no reason to believe that Re:Zero isn't coming. I'm at a loss about what the "confusing" show might be, but I have a hunch that it's more of a standard comedy.

Trying to decide which Toonami shows to watch
Blatch replied to Winter_Rain's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I'm mostly in agreement with @EmpressAngel's list. I would also recommend Samurai Champloo and Outlaw Star if you haven't already seen them. However, Dragon Ball Super wasn't mentioned, and that is an interesting beast. Skip the movie recap arcs at all costs, and watch the original versions if you care about those stories that much. The Universe 6 vs. 7 Tournament is decent fun but probably not neccessary, while the currently-running Future Trunks saga is probably the best the show has to offer... of course, you're going to want to stop watching it an episode or two from the end. -
Countdown/Scavengers Discussion Thread
Blatch replied to The1gairon's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
That would be even better... but I'm not sure if the original master tapes are still available for those events. For all we know, DeMarco just downloaded the VHS captures from Toonami Arsenal in order to show it on Pre-Flight. How do you even know if airing them on TV is legal? Also, only the first two Intruders tell an overarching story. The third one might as well stand by itself. -
Either my guide is screwed up or Demarco is ending Shippuden early
Blatch replied to Misaka's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
If they can air DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters and DB Super at the same time... and hell, they even played the original Naruto alongside Shippuden for a while, why not keep both of them on at the same time? -

Yup. Honestly, you just know they're going to nominate it for a bunch of stuff at next year's Anime Awards. At least I have enough confidence in the community to prevent it from winning.
