  1. I remember there being a disclaimer for the episode on Crunchyroll, but not on Toonami. I think the fact that it was SAO's first TV-MA episode was discretionary enough. Technically there were two, not that it matters. [none of this matters]
  2. So I take it this means they're gonna kill off Early and make Rusty the main character?
  3. Considering the Soul Eater anime was an early evening TV Tokyo series, and Fire Force is late-night Mainichi Broadcasting, I'm not surprised the Soul Eater anime turned out tamer than Fire Force, even with enough fanservice left in for ACTN-era [as] to pass it over the first time.
  4. >implying watching shows through less-than-dubious but nonregulatory means will literally get you thrown in the clinker, even sarcastically YOU'RE DUMB ELFIE YOU'RE SO FUCKING DUMB WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ELFIE? GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW DUMB YOU ARE
  5. For that post alone, I'm honestly hoping that KimAnime becomes a thing.
  6. The Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited 1
  7. As a wise man once said, kill one illegal streaming site, and two more will pop up to take their place.
  8. Your occasional reminder that good guys still wear black. 12:00 - Batman: Year One - TV-14DLSV 1:30 - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 - TV-14V 3:10 - Rick & Morty vs. Genocider - TV-MAL 3:20 - Rick & Morty: Samurai & Shogun - TV-MAV
  9. And yet it'll still be better than Shyamalan's take on the franchise (which was only partly his fault).
  10. Cinderella Boy 10
  11. I'd be distressed. Then I'd be fine. Then distressed again. Then fine again. A repeating cycle until I figure out how to easily and cheaply afford Toonami in its new location.
  12. All I know is that it's apparently one of those "non-battle battle manga" with acting as its method of battle, but even knowing that, I have no interest or desire to get into it, wrongdoing on the author's part or no.
  13. Ikebukuro West Gate Park (J-Drama) 4 From the streaking idiot in the beginning to the funny foreigner getting deported at the end, this episode had some awfully "That '70s Show" vibes.
  14. I've got your Fresh Prince reboot right here.
  15. I don't think drive-by gropings can be classified as solicitation. Molestation, definitely. But not solicitation.
  16. Hey, anyone remember that original anime idea I used to annoy everyone with back in my early days as an ASMBer? Well, the first chapter of its attempted final rewrite is now available for your reading pleasure as a pilot script (of sorts). You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but I'd really appreciate it if you did.
  17. Since we're being honest, I'm not really a "reads the manga after the anime" kinda guy, or even the kind who reads manga at all. I used to read the Naruto and Bleach manga, but gradually lost interest. I have both volumes of the FLCL manga, but mostly forgot about it since it was way different from the anime. I've also read Nana to Kaoru (up to what was current in 2011, anyways), because of fucking course I did.
  18. It all comes down to what they personally want vs. what he gives them. Sometimes it's the simple stupidity of Demarco not knowing of or even outright disliking a show they personally want to see on Toonami, or one they think would be a good fit, if not one they think would bring in viewers. Other times it's his attitude when he approaches the harsher critics of the block. Surely some of you remember all the times he called people on ask.fm "armchair quarterbacks" and "diaper babies". Not to mention the aforementioned "cutting 3 hours off the block in 2015" and "moving MHA premieres to 3:30 AM" scenarios, where he said people weren't watching them where they were. And then there are the horny bastards who dislike his distaste for meaningless fanservice, which is why they're always quick to blame him whenever Turner S&P censors anything sexual, up to and including rumored extra fanservice scenes in the FLCL sequels he personally requested be removed. Personally, I don't have any serious problem with Demarco. He's doing his best, he's doing his best well, and whenever I actually see the guy talk out of his own mouth, he seems reasonable enough that I don't feel threatened by what the hater crowd sees in him. But for as much as I abhor the whole "TOONAMI IS DYING MY DUDES" movement, it's kinda fun - for a socially maladjusted pseudo-freak like myself, at least - to rag on him indirectly, hyping him up to be a delusional hypocrite secretly seeking the death of Toonami through picking up increasingly predictable Shounen Jump adaptations and other actions with good reason behind the apparent nonsense. I like to think it was this exact meme that pushed so many people towards the cult of Demarco dislike. So yeah. There's plenty of reason those who dislike Demarco dislike him so, and why they act more "in touch" with what the audiences of today want compared to him, the guy who's been in the industry for 25+ years. I may give him shit time and again, but it's almost entirely done ironically. I respect what he's trying to do, and I say he keep on doing it, no matter how many roadblocks 2020 throws in his way.
  19. I think Batman might also be a way for them to avoid rerunning Black Clover when they run out of premiere episodes on deck, like what they did with MHA.
  20. Before COVID, I meant. Don't lump me in with those all-caps, poorly-worded English-speaking "weebs", even inadvertently.
  21. My guess is, air something that isn't obviously predictable or aligned with his own interests. Or just stop blaming the viewership for Toonami's cuts and extreme timeslot changes for shows (i.e. MHA S3).
