This is going to be one of the biggest busts in Toonami history.

It has a ways to go before being in the same category as Wulin. That said, Food Wars fails at ratings, so switch it and Origin.

Kengan Ashura 1. Baki 18.

DeMarco’s budget for Toonami barely covers lunches off the Dollar Menu. Put simply, they cannot afford to get any of the actors from gen:Lock in the studio. If they could, don’t you think we’d already have David Tenant singing its praises?

The rumor is the movie will be a loose adaptation of The Origin (given that the writer was tested on the references in Gundam Narrative). They may want to avoid competition with themselves.

The Origin anime is an adaptation of several prequels and side stories from the manga. The manga proper is a wholesale remake of the original series, starting from the attack on Side 7 to the end of the One Year War.

If Toonami had money for originals (which probably won’t be a thing save some very short series especially given the epic belly flop that was DeMarco’s FLCL fanfics) commissioning a full anime adaptation of Gundam: The Origin manga proper, and advertising it as “Only Toonami” as hype for the movie ramps up would = Ratings. That of course is in a scenario where everyone isn’t trying to get their own stuff off the ground in streaming and the Toonami budget can buy mores than a 2 piece meal at Popeye’s.

Netflix Ultraman 12-13.

Good, now hopefully it can show up on Netflix soon and be well...popular.

Char clearly remembered this when he adopted the Quattro disguise.

I liked the first two episodes I saw on demand...but it’s up against the post Ep 3 edits, and there’s a UFC on tonight. Tough room.

Netflix Baki 17. This was amazing and it caused me to burst out loud laughing on the treadmill. Fuck Tuca and Bertie, give Baki and stuff like it all the renewals.

It’s a good thing and I question those who say otherwise, but as a Toonami pickup, Lordy talk about bad luck.

Netflix Saint Seiya 6. Simplistic but serviceable with some good moments. I’m interested enough in what happens next at least but I would have slowed it down to expand the fight scenes and character moments. Dr. Stone 1.

If there’s a moral to this story...it’s DeMarco should have gotten Shield Hero.

Looks like Fire Force will resume its normal schedule this Friday. Crisis averted.

Netflix Saint Seiya 5.

Also apparently, a Crunchyroll writer is accusing the show of being sexist because...reasons.

I’m calling it. It being moved is a political thing. $5 on simuldubs hitting Hulu when Season 4 drops.

You can’t build a brand when all your options aired years ago On Demand and your one new pickup is CANCELLED FOREVER because of a freak tragedy. They need newer stuff which they don’t have the cash or resources to secure.

NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. They may simply have not updated it. Come Thursday we could get another “Uh oh, no FF this week, or ever” message. And I don’t want to hear a single weeb bitching about their cartoon not coming out because animators don’t want to draw something traumatic.

I’ll just express some relief that I haven’t heard hide or hair about the Netflix adaptation.

Netflix Saint Seiya 3-4.

Yeah, that’s actually how they started. The militarization came later.

Netflix Saint Seiya 1-2.
