The thing is, Fighting Spirit/Hajime no Ippo had a dub at the EXACT SAME TIME. Are you really going to tell me that boys are going to prefer tennis to BOXING?!

How did that work out again?

The Tenchi series stopped being relevant when kid-targeted anime blocks stopped being relevant. The whole joke was airing a show about women wanting to bang a teenager to an impressionable audience entering puberty. You think anyone gives a flying fuck about the space goddess bullshit at this point?

Only the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices can fix the ratings.

The ASMB was cited in a paper about demographics once.

What? There was a whole Steve Brule movie over the summer. Kong: Skull Island.. Or was that Brule's dad?

Well it certainly isn't going to reverse the downward trend.

Yeah, this is gonna reverse the ratings slide. A show that's only been gone for a year, two tops. I still have the boxset guys.

Yeah, that will reverse the tide. LOLBEBOPAIRZ.

It's not that DeMarco is averse to boobies, at least not how Kim Manning was rumored to be, it's just not supposed to be the main draw. Which is funny because all the boob-heavy stuff usually gets the most ratings.

Toonami has never shown stuff just for boobs. Although when they do because it's a secondary feature, ratings are like Akame.

Mayweather vs McGregor won this one by KO. Wasn't even close.

Yeah but they were the same designs and used the same names, even playing different roles.

Kiyone was likable? She made sense in that one OVA about Mihoshi's story because she was the straight woman to the insanity (and Mioshi was still likable back then).

I have a better question - Why has no one made Karate Minoru into an anime yet? Netflix, this is perfect for you.

If tennis bores people, Go would leave them comatose.

I caught a "rerun". The result was obvious, but how they got there was interesting.

My theory has always been that combat sports are way easier to translate than stick and ball sports.

I just wish there was more we could do, but logistics come into play. At least, you know, someone did something. Someone cared.

The ultimate mood killer - The narrator telling you that Snow is fucking his AUNT.

So this is just a one-off, right? Last I checked the duo had hit their stride in advertising (in a good way) which just proved to me they're the comedic equivalent of salt. A little bit is good, too much ruins the flavor. Given that, one off specials is probably the best use of their talents. Any vitriol I had for them was probably because I was getting a ton of salt from an ongoing show they made, which doesn't play to their strengths.

Surprised McGregor lasted as long, but the pacing in MMA and boxing are completely different.

McGregor lasted eight more rounds than I thought, for a neophyte.

They had their chance with Ippo years ago and got Prince of Fucking Tennis. They deserved the low ratings tennis, prissiest of sports, bought.

I've seen this one before.
