So I guess were just going to assume they jumped ahead on AoT for ratings convenience? Honestly, it isn't very plausible, but I feel like a move so trivial and sudden is cause to expect that something big is coming soon. Crazy crackpot theory: AoT finishes on 9/9, and then Toonami airs a world premiere dub of The Ancient Magus' Bride at 12:30 on 9/16, three weeks becore the Japanese run.

Take the future to your hands. Mold it, shape it, get all the bad stuff out, maybe put it on in the background so it can air its grievances while you do the hot stuff, and then take it out to show the world. Tonight might mark the beginning of a new dream, if you can handle this shit. And then there's four more episodes left in the tank.

The other words of this monologue have been lost to history.

I personally thought Tokyo Ghoul was decent until the end of the first season, and then it degenerated into a gigantic ball of nihilism and misanthropy I try to avoid in 2017. That show's destiny has since become trapped as background noise while I play The Binding of Isaac. To compare, I had mildly similar problems with Deadman Wonderland. I actually didn't care for it in the end because it went from something that was not very good, but you couldn't take your eyes away from (especially during the Hummingbird fight) to a generic shonen battle anime with built-in fatalism. Dimension W gets a shrug from me. Maybe I'll look for it again some time and give it another watch, but I wasn't even a fan of the parts of the series I could actually comprehend. Beware the Batman is far from the best Batman series, though I actually found it decent for what it wanted to be. Watch me end up reflexively hating it once I see another one, however. :robotP My Sword Art Online opinion is as follows: Aincrad, good; Alfheim, bad; Phantom Bullet, okay, and it might be the best arc if you remove the rapey parts; Excalibur, boring but competent, so I'll give it that, and Mother's Rosario, almost a war crime. Finally, I haven't seen enough episodes of DB Super to rate it, but I'll probably come up with something after Goku Black happens.

Funimation will probably be the de facto distributor if it gets dubbed. I can't guarantee this, however, since Viz recently got Mr. Osomatsu out of NOWHERE and will be dubbing it themselves.

Mediocrity is the name of the game. And besides, nobody will care if the block is only two-and-a-half hours again.

Watch it be for a Hellsing Ultimate rerun.

The Stardust Crusaders anime actually took a break halfway through, and I feel like the Toonami broadcast could copy that. In fact, maybe that's how you fit FLCL 2 in.

For ratings predictions, I'll be a little generous: 900K for DBZ Kai, 750K for JoJo's, and Outlaw Star will be low, but at least 400K.

This weekend belongs to the shorts, I'd say. Some of it's to clear out the backlog. Nora, Princess, and Stray Cat #1 to #6 Knight's & Magic #8 Nyanko Days #8 to #12 (END)

Birdy the Mighty: Decode 02 OVA... ~Between You and Me~ Birdy the Mighty Final Thoughts: The iDOLM@STER Preview: So I got all of that done, and I can now break free of these archaic text blocks. See you people soon enough, and in the meantime, let's all never stop striving for a better world. [and I'll be joining you there]

For those not in the know, they call that "pan and scan". Though [as] tends to ignore it and do the 16:9 stretch for their old shows. At least it stopped for Toonami around the time Cowboy Bebop first aired in HD.

It could also be grey, you know. The first especially new episode of this season, and the first one where our heroes are actually leaving to do the thing they... well, you know: Go to Egypt. But who knows if they'll actually get there soon. Enjoy all of this, even if I'm not around for it. As always, no flaming in this thread, nor most others, since it's what Luuv always wanted.

I support doing individual threads for each episode of this show. It's been so long since the original Toonami airing that, arguably, most of the people watching it are an entirely new audience, including me.

That's actually scheduled for Sunday.

Luuv was arguably a paragon of this kingdom of shit. And he managed to survive it for 14 years? My god. In the end, I thank him for introducing me to the old ASMB (I joined in April 2014), and his unbridled enthusiasm managed to make me see it for what it really is... a rather decrepit place, yes, but one with people who genuinely care about things. As well as the belief that me could be one of them. There's a lot of people I think I'm better off having known and hobbies I'm happy to have (content ratings!) because of him, and his little slice of heaven, but I want to keep the spotlight on him and nobody else. You got up, but now you'll never get down. Rest in all the platitudes, and do say hi to Chris for me if you have the chance. I didn't know him until it was too late.

I was actually thinking of if Black Clover would be a valid replacement for DBZ. I know nothing about it other than that it's an up-and-coming Shonen Jump property, but that's arguably the point.

[I tried to start shit]

Just from the sound of it, Live PD has the same general appeal as Cops, but this time it's definitely live. Though I honestly hold the opinion that a lot of people watch it merely because they might see a black guy get shot. I'm not sure why so many younger people would be intrrested in this show, however, with general distrust of the police seemingly getting bigger every year. :painfap:

Like... politics? I had to stop following him on Twitter because his feed made me think he was so perpetually miserable. I would actually prefer he get sacked just so we can have someone who is excited about things and/or open to criticism of the block.
