Toonami and Elation say fuck it -

Yeah, I’ve said it before, but combat sports can’t really be compared to traditional stick and ball sports, especially in adaptations. Your layman may not get the rules of tennis, but they’ll get a fist punching someone in the face.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce High Guardian Spice!”

I’m kinda wondering if they’re gonna tackle the dumber aspects of the fandom. Humanity was collectively embarrassed over the chicken nugget fiasco, and if they don’t take the piss it will be a missed opportunity.

After it’s sort of become identified with incel culture, so...good luck with that!

More than you would think. Especially concerning Dragonball and MHA. It’s just that most of those people rely on On Demand for their stuff and only watch when there’s no direct interference. That’s the weird dichotomy to me. The anime market is bigger than ever, with more people watching than ever. But thanks to the decrease in over the air viewership, that hasn’t translated to ratings for Toonami.

Magic Knight Rayearth 21. This proof of concept trailer that makes me pissed stuff like this doesn’t get animated to a whole series but we get the same “diverse” shit from what can’t be more than a circle of 15 goddamn people.

Let’s see if it gets more than one episode like Korgoth did.

Oh good. Put it further in the range of sports and PPV’s. That isn’t likely to backfire. Wasn’t the idea of starting later a way to ensure the audience didn’t have any other commitments besides just going out and watching everything on demand?

It is a 20 year old series. My guess is that means the voice cast is no one special (i.e. no stunt casting) so they don’t need to scream it.

They are back to the pre Family Guy strategy of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks because the writer of their remaining most popular show is a barely functional alcoholic. Something had better land... Shame that they alienated so many people during the salad days like Brendon Small.

Might be worth watching them in the park on the FUNi app...

Do you need to have seen the original show to care? The original show had a ton of production issues and was on during the dying days of ASA when everyone criticized them for getting that and not Gurren Lagann, which aired on SyFy instead.

I don’t know. All I know is that Part I and II was put on Netflix and the social media mentions skyrocketed. That and Netflix put it in their “top viewed” section.

Gary and his Demons? The VRV show? Ouch. That’s awful.

So standard Nostalgia Critic when he isn’t riffing shitty movies.

JoJo’s Netflix numbers seemed to indicate Toonami was the problem, but we’ll see what happens when Stardust Crusaders hits.

He’s a complete assclown. I miss when he made fun of movies before he thought he was this genius writer and actor. Just make fun of No Holds Barred or something for 15 minutes.

And since I heard this exists, so do the rest of you -

...Netflix themselves didn’t say that. Industry executives are predicting that. Don’t do that!

I’m pretty sure whoever did would have to hang out with Roman Polanski.

Also keeping with 90’s nostalgia, 90’s Jim Carrey is apparently back as well since Robotnik is basically evil Ace Ventura.

Magic Knight Rayearth 16-20.

Because people can be really, really dumb.

Didn’t Part IV flop on Toonami?
