Behold the Megazord of streaming.

Eight.

Shade. Shade everywhere.

300. I’m telling you guys, that PPV didn’t do Toonami any favors.

Everyone remembers Wulin Warriors right? No? You forcibly blocked it out of your brain? Well guess what? https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/coming-soon/whats-coming-to-netflix-this-week-july-8th-to-july-14th/ It’s coming to Netflix in its original form and no one knows why.

Well as far as the artificial feud went, it worked. Goblin Slayer was the top viewed show in every single state during its season, a feat last performed by One Punch Man. And then we had Shield Hero being one of the top viewed shows worldwide thanks to its artificial feud with the phantom High Guardian Spice, making Kate Leth and The Dangerhairs nothing more than an easy target for fans of the two shows to lay into. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next we hear about it is when Crunchyroll wants to bankroll another show that might be controversial, like I dunno, Cannon God Exaxxion. Dr. Stone meanwhile is being hyped as THE next big thing in shounen. No small shoes to fill but the hype machine has to go beyond what you would do for an isekai like Shield Hero. I’ll say this much, from what I’ve seen of the two, I’m enjoying Fire Force more than Dr. Stone, but either way, this means big money for streamers.

Long story short, Rooster Teeth is considered the Happy Madison of action animation.

The only reason their CEO didn’t serve jail time was because he was over 70 and the court allowed for a conscience objection. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Agrama

The talent in gen:Lock is big enough to make any HBO original green with envy. Michael B Jordan (Killmonger in Black Panther) Dakota Fanning, the aforementioned Arya Stark, Spike’s Japanese VA, and David Tenant. That cast list alone has me thinking that it will get a better time slot.

And that’s why this show will BOMB. Hard. As I noted with Beware the Batfleck, Toonami does not welcome non-anime warmly. At all. Genndy however gets a pass.

Alright everyone, start your complaining -

Even with its improvements RWBY is still amateur hour in terms of production and the like. The whole point of gen:Lock was to show a professional quality production.

Harmony Gold is solely doing this out of spite. Because they are literally criminals found guilty of money laundering for the Italian mafia.

I expect the fandom to greet the announcement with the same warm welcome it gave Beware the Batman.

The undercard knockout trended on Twitter immediately. People are watching.

I’m predicting Food Wars will bomb. Its premiere is up against a Jon Jones fight. But odds are it will do better than the show at 3am. Still, fuck Food Wars for its scheduling.

Fire Force 1. Yeah, this was from the Soul Eater guy.

Reminder that it’s on Hulu if you don’t want to stay up till 3am, but this is the TV show edit and that’s the OVA’s.

You know that’s an indirect reference to the sarin gas cult, right?

God I miss MEGAS. Damn tax write off.

Pop Team Epic is best experienced in random short video clips, not a full on TV show.

Tatsunoko was the one that signed off on it. Big West’s endless lawsuits will continue...

I’d say it feels like when someone’s parents hear something is popular, but another item has a similar name and is cheaper, so they buy that instead. “Oh, Transmorphers! That’s what my kid wanted!”
