AXS doesn't have the biggest reach, right? I mean, this block is following TNA Impact, which these days is pretty happily in its niche of being a farm league for the WWE (and they even have signed a talent-sharing agreement, primarily to get TNA wrestlers on NXT so those guys can work with more experienced wrestlers). Still, the fact that this block on this music channel got MHA is just more proof of how cooked Toonami is.

Let’s advertising a sports betting platform on your phone during every single sporting event! I see no reason how that goes horribly wrong!

Leg of lamb, mashed potatoes, and salad.

Oof. It’s clear Toonami is a very very low priority.

This is a surprise given MC Chris has allegedly become a pariah with a really bad reputation.

Filming has wrapped. Estimated air date is late 2025/early 2026.

…I do wish I had more people to share these dinners with, and a bigger place to serve them. Pernil this good should be shared with friends.

Roast pork shoulder with rice and vegetables.

This is why I stand by DeMarco, who considers him a music tastemaker and a guy trying to avoid tropes that seem too Japanese, going with an instrumental. Even if it will be forgettable and not as memetically hilarious as Limp Bizkit.

It was a condition of licensing his music back in the day he got to have a cameo IIRC. He didn’t charge AS much in exchange for the exposure.

The band responsible for so much music behind DeMarco’s favorite show is calling it a day.

Dante is the exact kind of guy who would have thought Bikertaker was awesome.

Metaphor ReFantazio: A 100+ hour RPG about a political crisis in a racist society where the people’s decreased faith in the central government has led to the popularity of an autocrat who is practicing a form of Darwinian meritocracy. I wonder where they got the idea.

So we’re totally getting an instrumental that sounds like a Bebop track for the opening, right? Edit - I mean, that tends to be DeMarco's preference in shows he's had a more direct hand in. I mean, I think I get why, he wants something that doesn't sound distracting due to a Japanese guy singing, or whatever the hell Adi Shankar was thinking -

Specifically September 5, 2000.

Solo Leveling S2 1-2 I can’t hear “arise” without thinking of this -

Andy really oughta write a book about his time at Cartoon Network. Hell, all the early Adult Swim guys and gals ought to. Even DeMarco, just so he can burn every bridge in Georgia.

At this point it’s less a failing of the block and more the accelerating decline of cable.

She’s an innocent girl, but she’s also a horny teenager. She probably thinks it subconsciously.
