I always found Toshiyuki Tsuru to be an extremely underrated director. It's a shame he's only been chief director for one and a half shows, a Naruto movie, and a Shippuden filler arc that almost was a movie because his work is amazing, and it's partly thanks to it that I was able to shape Kinky Kunoichi into the hypothetically-an-anime-actually-a-story it is today. I've also grown to appreciate Hideaki Anno's understandably pretentious but nevertheless breathtaking style after finally finishing Evangelion (ADV).

Will MHA see a schedule promotion at the last minute before July 6th and avoid its deathslot like JoJo, or will it stay there until the distributor tells Turner to quit that shit - which could be months from now - like with Geass and Moribito? Place your bets, people. And put away those crying emoji reactions while you're at it, nobody wants to see those.

I assume so, they say they've got plans out to 2021.

For all you know, this could be another Akame/Parasyte situation where one of those four shows you just listed was the one Demarco was after and Food Wars was just part of a package deal.

Not even any cubicle walls, huh? Dang, even I have cubicle walls where I work.

Telling him to stop is only gonna make him do it more...

I know and it's hilarious. 🤣

Still a Sentai property, Al. Still a Sentai property. I hope so, all these popular picks have made Toonami super predictable over the past couple of years. Yeah, fanservice can do that. But on the bright side, it's a Weekly Shonen Jump anime adaptation so it's not like it's guaranteed to be dangerously ecchi 100% of the time, it's directed by the GaoGaiGar and Brigadoon guy so you know it'll be some degree of fun, and when all else fails, there's always the gorgeously drawn cuisine to look at.

Forgot the Daylight Savings special airing of Children Who Chase Lost Voices already, huh.

Nope. I started MHA on Toonami, and I'm finishing it on Toonami, so you can take your legal streaming links and shove them. 😤

Make it the week after the movie tie-in episode, and I'd be inclined to agree.

Putting it that way, it's more non-interest than negative interest. Non-interest means you aren't interested because it has nothing that appeals to you. Negative interest means you aren't interested because it has something that doesn't appeal to you.

I agree, there does seem to be more to this than just "you weren't watching it when it started the block so we're forcing it to the end, how 'bout that!?". Something tells me the schedule will get reshuffled and MHA will get moved up to a better slot before the day it's set to happen. Just like when JoJo got demoted to 3AM only for that decision to be revoked less than a week after it was announced.

I'll come clean: as someone who just DVRs everything and watches it the next day (or several) anyways, MHA moving down to 3:30 doesn't really affect me as personally as it does the rest of you. But the reactions I'm getting, which rival my insensitively hyperbolic claims that Geass and Moribito being deathslotted in 2008 was "worse than 9/11", are just laughable. Or they would be, if the "CANCEL TOONAMI" crowd wasn't instead making it anger-inducing. Yes, this change sucks. But it's something we have to live with. I'm gonna live with it, and so should you.

"It's your fault for not watching it!" Holy shit Demarco do you even realize how much of an asshole you sound like right now? I can smell it from here.

The negative interest excuse worked for Golden Kamuy and its gay fanservice, but what's so turn-offy about something as knowledgeably fanservicey as Food Wars? Is it the whole cooking thing? Wait... I get it now. It's the fact that guys are just as fair game for the foodgasms as the ladies. And if there's one thing you hate, it's homoeroticism.

And with that, I break out the big guns.

Please go away. 😑

Easily the hardest [as] ever shafted one of their anime since the dark ages of Geass and Moribito premieres in the 5AM hour. I'll be surprised if FUNimation doesn't read Demarco the riot act over this.

It was probably too expensive for them at the time.

FUN FACT: If you look hard enough at this bump, it pretty much reveals that Angel Beats and Highschool of the Dead were actually under consideration for pickup by [as] in the dry spell between Durarara!!'s end and Toonami's resurrection. https://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/4362 And that's how we wound up getting Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins.

Yeah, but it's also got fanservice. That'll help us.
