Blatch

What did I fucking say? shithead Toonami, you let me down, but there wasn't going to be much complaining to begin with since it's a marathon. My main problem is that, if they decided to run DBZ Kai again so soon, is there much else stopping them from doing Samurai Jack S5 again in December? I'd like to watch part of least one marathon for a change.

I remember seeing some creepy ones last year during the movie, including one with no music on a black background about eliminating credit card debt. :skull: Also, if the 2:00A hour is the one without ratings, that's just weird, because the switch forward and back happens at the start of that hour, so then it goes back to 1:00. Shippuden and Outlaw Star should be the ones primarily affected by it.

I should've had this done on Sunday, but nobody even wants to invent reasons to care, so I'm good with... whatever time in the weekend. Even if it's technically Tuesday. :pumpkin: Say hello to my 900th post. This playlist

It could, if you're mad about the show's quality. Personally, I've seen a Toonami block without any Dragon Ball shows, as that's how it originally started. I wouldn't mind them going back to that at some future point, especially since the franchise is not the ratings draw it used to be.

I'm thinking they might do a Hunter × Hunter marathon. I don't know, but Greed Island seems about as worthy of representing "the feast" to me. But I'd be happy with pretty much any show, unless they somehow decide to marathon DBZ or (oh lord) Samurai Jack again.

You know what I'm talking about. 11/25 is the date. So I guess that one-year experiment didn't work. I know one could assume it's due to laziness, but I am implied to agree. Thanksgiving is the one holiday every year where most people travel, so if they're on the road and don't have access to a TV, it's for the better that they don't miss any shows. Also, they're going to be showing the final episode of Countdown anyway, so this is probably to get more people interested and make the stay-at-homes watch a marathon. You know how well Parasyte did for Thanksgiving '15. And the final episode of this TIE is six minutes long, which could severely fuck things up and probably makes marathon scheduling easier, but I have no idea if this influenced the decision. More information on this stuff as it comes, maybe.

Eh, it's a slow night with OwlChemist not on. I put mine up, fully detailed, in one shot.

Let everyone else get some, yeah? Even me, who hasn't watched the show in weeks. But even I know it's not really like that .hack stuff right now. This is an actual, tangible place, which is not at all like those digital worlds. And who even cares about a deadly video game nowadays? Half of the people on Twitter wish they could visit one and die in it. The world isn't that awful. And yet again, the usual applies. Have fun.

World(END) #12 [it can be two things]

I don't know how binary decision-making plays into this, but if Jason says Part 3 of JoJo's is doing fine, shouldn't that mean it is not a dud? Just like most of us are not crackpots. But I guess it would be easier to just name some currently-running anime that are doing well and/or Toonami won't get, such as Black Clover, The Ancient Magus' Bride, Juni Taisen, and Omiai Aite wa Oshiego, Tsuyoki na, Mondaiji.

Or even better, Lupin. Seriously, "How Lupin III Stole Christmas"; the theme couldn't be more obvious! It'd make up for me not getting JoJo's for Halloween. I'd also like to see that come to fruition maybe for the week after.

I really have to wonder if the "new layout every year" thing is something that costs money... well, much of it, anyway. It seems pretty wasteful to me. There was also the "Pipes" revival for the 20th anniversary celebration that got used for less than two months. Maybe they should've started using that as permanent packaging; someone I follow on Twitter suggested that for nostalgia purposes. I mean, the old Toonami never had a problem with reusing graphics; a typical look lasted for more than a year, and they had an exponentially higher budget. ::]::

Oh hell no. And not with who made this thread. :robotmad

Or JoJo's. Who cares if it would've rated low, some of its episodes are a great fit for Halloween, like the one with Soul Sacrifice.

Finally, Toonami gets the themed marathon-ish it's always deserved.

It's probably the Funiroll deal. CR announced they would be dubbing their own shows, but then that deal happened, and so did delays. KanColle took its sweet time to come out on home video, and Kabaneri has followed suit. Of course, there's no guarantee anything that streamed before the deal was made is locked up by Funi. :ghost:

I'm all for FLCL 2 airing between Stardust Crusaders' two cours, but I worry it might be just a little too soon. As in, it'd air in the spring rather than February or early March. I hope we get a concrete date by the end of the year. With English recording for the show apparently having started, its premiere can't be too far away. Now, as for AoT itself.... I don't have much to say. But let's hope Season 3 wows us even harder than the last sequel did.

Holy my goodness, people really didn't care for this one. I haven't seen a single discussion thread on this board go so low. Under two pages for me, and probably less than one for the others.

I don't think so. Instead, he invests too much of the time into politics. Under this logic, with nobody to see what's popular, it's a miracle Toonami has had good ratings for this long. But, in reality, their success came from not really focusing on new shit, but looking at old shows they knew were really good and exposing a wider audience to them. Right now, the block is too far between airing the new hotness and undiscovered gems. I'd like them to go in both directions at the same time. Also, as an epilogue for this, Toonami has absolutely no incentive to change if their ratings are still pretty good. But rather than passing off this entire continued conversation as meaningless, I'll just say that you might have to try really hard to see our demands through.

I've not much to say about this one. Either enjoy it, or don't. Don't flame anyone or anything here, and for whatever you do, make sure to have fun.

It was redundant to me by using the word twice. Not technically true, but virtually all of those shows aired before Aniplex started releasing their own shows in North America. ohno

Okay, first of all, I hate when people use redundant phrases like "they will improve the block by getting new shows for the block", but that has long been a personal nitpick of mine. Also, not only do we not know if Aniplex is getting that "Darling" show, but they seem to have abandoned any simul-dub procs after how Durarara!!'s turned out. As in, not good. You probably just brought it up for easy name recognition of "yes, this is good".

There are a lot of people who don't mind that, honestly. I can't think of many who would want to binge a whole show in such little time. But, at the same time, seeing just five episodes of a show in a week is too much of a tease. Especially if you're emotionally invested in it and want to continue the story elsewhere. So all in all, airing any amount of a show on the stream is going to disappoint somebody. Personally, if they're not going to air more than five episodes at a time, I'd rather them junk this idea entirely. Just air the time-delayed block all week. Maybe they could work to have it on just a one or two week delay to compensate.

It doesn't. I just watched some heavy episodes of various shows and came out of it feeling wistful. Also, we are in a change of seasons. The iDOLM@STER #4
