Honestly, I doubt S2 would've rated any better if aired that way. And the idea in general would be very hard for Funi to pull off when they already have a dozen other SimulDubs per season to produce. They did do a short fuse dub for My Hero Academia's recent season, but that only lasted for a few months, and then it was back to normal. And on another note, the rerun has finished. Yay. I'll make sure to bump my GiTS thread next week.

I don't really see a problem in airing something unrelated. ::]:: It's interesting that DeMarco didn't specify "we won't be airing a new movie", though. I've never seen this thing, so I'll be recording it when the time comes.

I'll be getting some extra sleep. ::spin::

Well, you know that there are many good people on both sides of the debate. I think DeMarco's being paranoid, but it's probably due to a lack of self-care.

I have to admit that I wasn't too crazy about this story at first. I thought it was about trying to rekindle the "Weird Japan" moniker for no good reason, and this show could stand as awesome on its own merits. But, in the end, it's a prime example of a rare heartwarming story in today's world. For that, I guess I'm grateful. Grape-kun can hang out with his waifu in heaven and not have to witness Kemono Friends S2 be bastardized by a different staff. B}

That was probably the point. Food Wars did the "shonen anime with food" thing so much better, and without having to shoehorn a particular genre into it. Also, it made me giggle when I remembered people wanted this on Toonami at one point.

This thread now looks like a madman talking to himself about irrelevant things. -_'

If they could somehow to go Aniplex and ask them for Birdy the Mighty: Decode, that would be fucking awesome. As for this bit of breaking news... eh, really? I guess since it uses a graphic of bearded Jack, it'll be just Season 5 again. Marathons are supposed to save money, but them using a show they own makes this one ring even cheaper than usual. What was wrong with using JoJo's?

Yup. I guess they finally decided to crack "Mother To Be-Sa" out of the vaults, since whatever she'd do as an indentured servant (it's lewd, apparently.. the episode is rated TV-MAS) just isn't bad enough for 2017. The geohell tends to have a positive effect on other things. I'm sure a lot of people would ask, since this episode is getting a first look during the marathon, why can't "Boston"? Well, I guess considering that episode was leaked after already being well known and infamous, not to mention real life circumstances that would make it genuinely awkward for its namesake city to watch, I'd guess they're still squeamish. Maybe in 2021 or so, it'll see the light... officially. In the meantime, catch this one at either 1:15A or 4:45.

I just think this is... sad. Like, how far down have we degenerated to as a society for this to happen? It's all just, this was in the show and it became a meme, so I like it. This has to do with stuff at the far end of the table, so it's bad, and we might die from it. But I never knew I could even stop these things. What the hell? Everything is so black and white now, with added anti-intellectualism. At least I could potentially enjoy BBQ sauce mixed with added teriyaki spice.

Well, I guess the people who say JoJo's is spoiling the sheets have somewhat of a point. But DeMarco still says the show is doing okay... owo You know, this was a pretty packed night of TV; college football, TBS airing playoff baseball, TNT airing Star Wars movies, and a hurricane. I'm happy the schedule held its own. Even Al himself was affected this time, so it must feel especially sweet.

In a better world, we could actually thank Toei for getting people to stop caring about the ratings. But that's probably never going to happen. whut

Al did update the thread already, but... yeah, Dragon Ball Super on the marathon stream this week. #21 to #25, and I have and nobody here has idea if they'll advance any further. At least this show fares better than HxH in regards to airing recent arcs.

So onto this week's Toonami... I mainly focused on JoJo's and the Gundam IBO premiere, though I did tune in partway through DBZ Kai. Buu somehow morphing into a hot jock was hilarious. For the former of former set, good times. Shows can be pretty formulaic but still a lot of fun, as Stardust Crusaders has shown. This is probably the most insanely contrived road trip in the history of anime, and I have to wonder how deep DIO's bench goes. But it's all in good fun. The pig at the beginning seemed to just be thrown in so the audience could assume they were the stand user, but then they brought in two new guys who look pretty awesome. I like Hol Horse, especially for his dub voice, magical guns, and even magical-er Stand bullets. And as for Centerfold, I have to tell you... if attacking via mirrors as well as any sort of reflection isn't an existing trope, it should be. I like the idea in general.

Either the guy who uploads a lot of Toonami promos or this somewhat weak hurricane that became a tropical storm. I've definitely seen worse.

You know, for as much as the comparisons to video game anime have been played up, this arc hasn't really felt that way, at least to me. I mean, there is the card collecting aspect to it all, but Greed Island is located in the real world. And that makes the whole "die in the game, die in real life" thing hilariously redundant. B}

I am not seeing it. whut

You mean the 28th? I have not seen anything about that, but I think it's the most likely scenario.

One thing you have to remember is that the majority of these shows are at least well liked by fans. And I guess they all did okay, but DeMarco could be lying to us. JoJo's Part 3 is a small step down from the first two in terms of my personal enjoyment, but I think it's actually the highlight of Toonami for right now. HxH hasn't gelled with me for a while (I have to get serious about it before Chimera Ant starts up, at least), and I guess Lupin is okay, but it's not the kind of show I enjoy watching during Toonami. I'd rather see something else in its slot. -_' I'll give Gundam IBO S2 a chance, even if I wasn't too keen on the first. It at least promises to be a very chaotic show with tons of meaningful drama and character deaths.

And a co-funded second season of Dimension W. :robotD

I think Toonami could stand to move in both directions. Get the people what they want in newer shows sans Dragon Ball, but carve out an hour or so in the back for those lesser-known anime. And I wouldn't mind seeing some past Broadcast Dubs on the block. Basically, whatever is more likely that people haven't seen, I think'd be good.

-_' ... ::]::

The iDOLM@STER #3 Tsuredure Children #9 and #10

Black Clover would probably rate well, but I have no desire to see it on the block. I guess it's the most generic shonen to ever get this popular. shithead

I like how this turned into more of a general Toonami discussion thread... even if we didn't need another.
