Because when it was announced, it was made clear DeMarco was still handling Toonami. Not that they were going to restructure or AT&T was going to made Toonami a Crunchyroll subsidiary. For Toonami it’s business as usual.

They didn’t accept Beware the Batfleck either. Still aired, DeMarco was upfront he didn’t care people didn’t want to see a show about the C-List of Batman’s Rogues Gallery, block survived.

Something that could really affect the ratings - Live PD has been pulled from airings. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/cops-season-33-paramount-network-george-floyd-1234626422/ The comments are pissed obviously. Blaming the Left.

The very painful lesson live action developers will learn is that unlike comic book fans, anime and manga fans suffer no alterations. It’s probably a defensive mechanism from decades of mockery and 4Kids style censorship, but if you censor a titty, a cigarette, etc, then “FUCK YOU YOU GOOFY NEVER LAID MOTHERFUCKERS I HOPE YOU DIE IN A CAR FIRE AND I HATE YOUR NIECES AND NEPHEWS BECAUSE YOU’LL NEVER HAVE CHILDREN NEEDLE DICK”. Anime and manga fans will not suffer changes, watering down, etc. And in a lot of cases, it’s better to not try than to try and fail.

Sure, get this for Space Force. Eva can keep some stupid instrumental. Right Third Children?

Here’s the announcement teaser. I can feel the disdain Mike Lazzo would have for this show if he was still around. Just...dripping.

It is, and the fact they have to air it shows just how slim the pickings are. But everyone else is in the same boat.

Well if that’s the case, fine. No need getting a stroke over a block of second run cartoons given what is going on in the world. Look, in a perfect world, DeMarco could good to Crunchyroll, get Shield Hero, Tower of God, or KonoSuba and call it a day. But it’s not a perfect world. He’s stuck with Stupid Balls Joke 9009.

Ballzmaster 9009 is dogshit. But if that’s all they have, then Toonami is in the same situation as the rest of Adult Swim. An Adult Swim losing Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers. An Adult Swim with a small budget unless DeMarco gets on his knees and starts begging Crunchyroll for help, which he will not do.

Netflix got Fly Me to The Moon for Space Force but not this. Yeah, that sucks.

Talk about trading down.

Turns out it’s the ED theme. The opening is...meh. Of course being “meh” is usually what happens when you compete with Freddie Mercury.

Please.

If ever there was a week to pull the “real life got in the way” card...

DeMarco is known for running his mouth over situations because it’s his block and he doesn’t give a crap what people think, they will hear his opinion. Doesn’t sour my opinion on big companies speaking and coming off as disingenuous. Honestly, the best thing corporations can do is shut the fuck up and let the actual people, the ones affected, have their time to speak.

That’s the fear given it’s HBO. That it will be whack-a-mole for stuff.

Dorohedoro 11-12. Now I want some gyoza...

The card tonight just makes me miss grappling practice. Lot of submissions.

Dorohedoro 3-10. Haven’t ran through a show this fast in a while.

MAPPA’s most recent work was Dorohedoro and that was pretty good.

Yeah, it’s Freddie Mercury. It’s a Netflix exclusive so no idea when we’ll see it though.

Dorohedoro 1-2.

Normally I’d say yes but we’re about to find out who plays live action Luffy in two weeks.

No one’s mentioned City Hunter yet? Come on, it has Jackie Chan. That automatically makes it better than a lot of the vomit trying to adapt anime.
