I get WHY DeMarco and friends hated the show, and the breakup video was hilarious, but I still don’t think it was as bad as its reputation was. What would be hilarious is if it got replaced with Ronin Warriors. Did they ever dub the OVA’s?

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/end-of-television-streaming-shows-deals-1236133596/ I think we all knew this was going to happen, but now that sports have migrated to streaming, the last true value add for linear television is gone. Which is terrible news for a once cutting edge alternative animation block

While no one is really bullish on the music channel airing TNA to have a successful anime block (and apparently canceling New Japan Pro Wrestling coverage to air it), it is once again a prime example of DeMarco ain’t having no damn money. He can’t snap his fingers and suddenly this appears -

The menu. Including a sushi platter apparently served on a Going Merry replica.

One could argue DeMarco had to make more original materials, but the quality of such has been a complete disaster.

I'm honestly curious if DeMarco seemingly burned these bridges, or if it's a case of Crunchyroll not wanting to work with their former owners for whatever reason.

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!

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.
