The Toonami Ratings Thread 1.0 :You are on a new board
Jman replied to StarPanda's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
With simuldubs now a thing this is going to become more and more common, particularly as big streaming services invest in the medium. I wonder how many views MHA is pulling down on Hulu. That would give us a far more accurate picture. -

And here I was hoping for solid evidence of MHA’s performance. -
You just know he raids the fridge for sticky buns.

1. They got Colbert back? Damn! 2. Wait...didn’t Birdman die in the last episode?

I’d say this is where Futoshi binge eats to deal with his problems...but that train left the station

Megalo Box 6.

Oh God I knew you were going to say something about this. The message appears to be about choice, hence the rather heavy hints of one of the heroines being a lesbian and being in favor of a society for individuality, rather than one of emotionless blob people.

God I miss FIOS. It's nice to not have to use all these supplements or pay out the ass, or borrow friends cable passwords for the apps. -
OK, so without spoiling anything plot related, the minigames in Yakuza 6 include: Virtua Fighter 5 (yeah, the actual Virtua Fighter 5) Puyo Puyo Classic Sega arcade games like Space Harrier and OutRun Karaoke Mini-gang warfare battles An entire subplot and conversation simulator that's more or less a season of Cheers. Baseball team management and batting And the actual story. God I love these games.

Hooray! -
That’s a triumph of human ingenuity over genetic disposition. The power isn’t gifted, it’s earned.

My problem with the show has always been the setup doesn’t work. Not that I want it to be like The Boys (which when you get down to it is more interested in being offensive than making any sort of nuanced point). When the narrative goes one way and then makes a hard U-Turn to go in the exact opposite direction of its moral, you cannot help but shake your head. And I was mostly laughing at the joke Daos made, which came off like a variation on the “Rick and Morty is for smart people only!” meme.

Asking the women in the audience since as a dude I feel unqualified to answer. Although last week’s...yeesh.
-
Yeah, and MHA is a spiritual counterpoint to The Boys, as opposed to crap on toast.
-
Trying to hype up the sequels while not burning any of the precious episodes. Good for hype, awful for ratings.
-
Like I said, something about this show just irks me, and the idea that it’s better than One Punch Man?
-
The one so far.

It’s weird because I friggin love superhero stories in a lot of contexts. Justice League and JLU are iconic Toonami shows and I adore pretty much all the DCAU stuff, I love OPM, and I’ve mentioned my fondness for the MCU. I mean I bought the Gatchaman boxset just for that amazing Alex Ross artwork. But something about this setup just grinds my gears, lending itself more to that anti hero opposite corrupt douchebag “heroes”.
-
Well actually, because this is literally the plot of Garth Ennis’ The Boys, one of the biggest anti superhero screeds of all time. This is the origin of Billy Butcher, and he would kill all the superheroes. That’s the point.
