Blade Runner, like Shenmue, got screwed by rights issues, namely Amazon making a direct sequel to Blade Runner 2049.

Invincible Fight Girl premieres on Toonami on November 2nd
Jman replied to Sketch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
This is why I'm seriously questioning how well this is going to do opposite an AEW whose champion is Jon Moxley, a stereotypical hardcore wrestler whose ideas tend to be focused on blood and guts. The CEO of Moxley Plumbing isn't exactly someone I think would introduce people to a kids show. At least in Kinnikuman, people get busted open, blood escapes from the mouth, and all that stuff. -
You could honestly argue that in saying that, this glorified fanfic becomes the antithesis of Roiland's nihilism and the whole "Nothing matters, no one belongs anywhere, let's just watch TV" philosophy. So not only have you alienated the audience because the characters don't act like the Smith's everyone loves (and there was a lot of love in that room yesterday, make no mistake), you've contradicted the main philosophical tenant of the show and the source of a lot of the gags since it informs how everyone acts. This is probably why no one bought this up at the Rick and Morty panel yesterday. It's also why this is probably not getting a sequel.

Yeah, almost like they didn’t have to do it because they can be horrifyingly precise when the situation calls for it.

You ever get the urge to exercise randomly? You see a pull up bar? You want to climb on it. You see weights, you want to lift them. You’re in line at NYCC waiting for the room to open, you bang out push ups. Just me?

$5 says this special is introduced by AEW wrestlers. I’m also pretty convinced I’d be on a normal level of dislike for this show rather than full bore chugging Hatorade if I hadn’t watched the new Kinnikuman arc during the summer. -

I feel like for better or for worse that show ran on “Do the opposite of Snyder” and got a fanbase off of that. But that got a Thursday release. For better or for worse, it was also Superman, probably one of the most recognizable fictional characters in the entire world. -

I'm admittedly annoyed by the series, but I think it's because it falls into so many of the checkboxes of modern pseudo-anime from the West that it's getting obnoxious. Pseudo-anime in general seems to be losing popularity among casual viewers depending on the art style, with the Kong show from Powerhouse falling flat on its face and Tomb Raider on Netflix failing to make the Top 10 opposite DanDaDan, which did despite being a weekly release. I'd probably be less annoyed if it weren't on Adult Swim. Still, people are looking for the real thing.
