  1. So we’re introduced to a new bad guy and a woman whose powers let her assume the mannerisms of a cat who also gets groped. Yeah, this explains the latest rant from Crunchyroll writers about how the show is totally sexist and how High Guardian Spice is coming for all their boobies with potato shaped women and LBGTQ+ relationships. Also Shinra is clearly a Kamen Rider fan.
  2. It wasn’t an original concept, it was a light novel adaptation.
  3. Because those people are the main reason anyone would care about the show. Of course, this is Toonami, where DeMarco’s shit taste is building you an outdated relic of a block.
  4. Most of the time it’s a non factor. Here it’s the biggest draw the show has.
  5. Toonami’s promotional material is legendarily half assed, but it just hit me that they don’t mention the actors involved. Not once. Look, no one gives a shit about your average VA but that is David Tenant. Candidate for Best Doctor Ever David Tenant. Purple Man from Jessica Jones David Tenant. To say nothing of all the other actors, and none are mentioned.
  6. Anyway, on the topic of current Toonami, Kengan Ashura > gen:Lock. This week should give us better ratings data.
  7. I always laugh at AGK. Objectively average and fell off the rails at the end, famous for being the most ANIME of the anime they ever picked up, rumored to be part of a package deal for Parasyte, and it completely destroyed Parasyte in ratings. It’s like how Netflix goes on and on about how this cartoon is super diverse and inclusive, and they find kids watching Transformers and adults watching Baki. And then the other thing gets cancelled.
  8. Kengan Ashura 4.
  9. How many of those are countries that don’t have access to anime via regular means? Not everyone has the rights tied up nice and comfortably. They have to go there.
  10. Because first run episodes are everywhere else. With the forthcoming Hulu/ESPN+/Disney+ bundle, more people will have access to Hulu’s FUNi stuff...which may give Toonami even less of a reason to keep it around.
  11. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2019/08/08-1/blade-of-the-immortal-anime-slices-up-amazon-prime-video-in-october Now if someone could dub the damn thing and advertise it next to Patriot or The Boys, we’ll be in business.
  12. As if streaming didn’t take enough wind out of this block’s sails, Gundam The Origin is also joining FUNiNow.
  13. Why doesn’t Toonami get more fan service centric shows, when their parent company has pushed the living hell out of two of them via Crunchyroll? Why did we get gen:Lock instead of Gridman? Why Food Wars? Just...why Food Wars? Why get a two year old OVA only to stick it at 3am where it still does better than Boruto? Because Jason DeMarco is running the block and it’s his taste, not yours.
  14. Bandai just opened a new Gunpla factory for increased demand and their new smartphone game beat its pre-order estimates. Not to mention Gundam shows get advertised quite a bit on Netflix and Hulu. The problem here is Rooster Teeth. No one likes how their stuff looks, and they have all these celebrities and not ONE is going on Twitter and actually advertising the goddamn show! What is the point of all that talent if you give them shitty animation and no promotion?!
  15. I again point to how well Gundam has been doing in streaming. Let’s be brutally honest, would RWBY have done any better?
  16. So Fire Force is a Fire Flop and gen:Lock looks set to be a one and done. Rough Times for all.
  17. So is it safe to say this went over like a lead balloon?
  18. That’s because the last few Gundam shows they’ve aired were Netflix staples, frequently listed as among the top watched. They just released a mobile game that easily beat all its pre-registration goals. And of course, these reruns still beat a few shows before them. Lupin...unfortunately yeah, that is true.
  19. Most of the shows aren’t bad, just old. MHA is out of date thanks to streaming, same with The Origin. It’s only Food Wars and this that are missteps on the content front.
  20. This show is gonna bomb so hard. It’s actually kind of hilarious.
  21. I would pay good money for a Crossbone Gundam anime. Do not make me want things I can’t have. Next you’re gonna suggest Netflix cancels The Dragon Prince and commissions a Dirty Pair reboot.
  22. Despite my love of mecha, if they wanted a 3D animated show...they should have gotten Kengan Ashura before Netflix did.
  23. Kengan Ashura 2.
  24. Low ratings, much like the chips, are Ahoy.
