Yes, people are going to face issues with money in the coming months. And meanwhile, there's a well-known concept called the economic lipstick index, which has found that in times of major economic stress, inexpensive, unnecessary items like cosmetics (the primary focus of the research) tend to see a notable uptick in sales. People still want to treat themselves with small luxuries as a way to boost their mood in rough times. An $8 anime subscription fits pretty damn neatly in that "unnecessary, cheap, and fun" Venn diagram. In general, streaming services have seen a massive boom in subscriptions as a result of the pandemic. It's gonna be some rough sailing ahead but it's not an automatic death sentence. Chill your shit, y'all.

I don't understand the reference. Hero- I know they're villains and all but I genuinely hope these two somehow have a happy ending. Paranoia Agent- I hate the ugly hentai bastard trope. Things never go well for hookers in basically any media. Whelp, that took an unfortunate turn. To be fair, that little bastard kind of deserved it. Sorry doc but that sounds way nicer than Maria. Wow, getting engaged is easy as hell. I hope she's at least getting paid well for these guys. Well, that's uncomfortable. This is going too well for this early in the episode. Hey some of those clothes are cute you should keep them. Oh no. You should probably get that therapist on the phone right now. And then shit got awkward. This guy seems nice, it's really gonna suck for him. No shit you should tell him about your secret split personality prostitute. I don't think this is gonna end well. Girl just burn the stuff instead of hauling it to the dump. WHELP. Running through the deserted streets, screaming and slathered in clown makeup is kind of a real mood right now. I hope she lucked out and he beat the crazy out of her. Thanks, Maromi. Mob- Remember, never fuck with Mob. Goddammit I love this dumbass conman. POCKET SALT. This OP didn't need to go so fucking hard and yet it does. Mob is my son and I love him. There's a stand in that tunnel. Goddammit Reigen, get better salt! Mob is the best. Clover- What fresh bullshit will this week bring. This OP is way too good for this show. Big deal, my hatred for these people is way stronger than that. Oh great, the douchebag is here. Look I'll forgive you for being a piece of shit if you just kill the elf and move this arc along already. Buddy I've been saying "DIE DIE DIE" at them since the beginning and it doesn't work. Everyone wants to be wizard hokage. No you stupid idiot why are you healing him, the entire point of that original mission was to destroy that group! Just let him kill him you dumb bastards. This seems like it'll be stupid. "HATE HATE HATE HATE" is also the entirety of my brain when I watch this show. Yep, you're dumb as fuck and this is all your fault. I spend every epsidoe pleading "SHUT UP" and it never works. This is a really bad motivational speech. This is stupid. Still rooting for Satan here. You suck, elf guy. Oh it's her again. Hey there Cap'n Sexy. Jojo- Props to Trish, I would have already pissed my pants. That is the proper response to someone around you on a plane reclining their seat. Aw shit it didn't work. Well that's new. Hi there. Oh my god I love her stand. Great job now get in the closet. RIP shirt. Aw fuck it's oozing through. Boing. Thank god for the rubber clock. Man her stand isn't fucking around. It's still too early in the episode for this to have worked. My 90s kid heart is elated at this name. Now get that hand in the turtle. This is why you DON'T TAKE PLANES in this show. Ohhhh that can't be good. OH FUCK. Can you try setting that thing on fire? Oh my god, her attacks are Spice Girls songs. Oh cool she rubberized the plane. Bitchmeat, this dub is a gift. I fucking hate this thing. Joke's on you he's already dead. Note to self, don't go sailing in Italy. This all could have been avoided if you'd just remembered to wear a condom. Whelp, this maid's getting murdered. Huh, pleasant surprise.

And if there's no anime being produced, why would they be up to a year behind on dubbing those shows? That was the entire point of my first post that you replied to, do try to keep up.

Why the hell would I know what you're keeping up with? You're really too lazy to even glance at a website before making dramatic posts, huh?

Nah, the private business with individual recording booths that can be easily sanitized between uses, and editing stations with minimum amounts of contact seems substantially more likely to get their train back on the wheels than the stadiums full of thousands of people sitting within inches of each others' sweaty asses.

Why the fuck would dubs go back to being a year behind the sub? This isn't going to last forever; once they're able to, they'll go back to recording in the studio on a daily basis like normal. There may be a bit more of a lag, but they're not just going to sit there and wait for a show to end before they start dubbing it.

I'm guessing FUNi uploads the episode on Saturday morning to give themselves a few hours. It's only a day ahead of what seems to be a two-week schedule for episodes, so that's doable. The real problem is 87/88, which almost definitely won't be ready in time for Toonami. The best option is probably to just reair 86 next week, 87 the week after, then give that an encore to stretch things out before the finale's ready.

Let's be honest, at that point we're all cosplaying Fatgum during quarantine.

Season 1 Mob is good, season 1 OPM is great. Season 2 Mob is great, season 2 OPM is awful. Mob averages out to be the better series.

Are your naysayers the ones using you're/your incorrectly in your fantasy here or is that just you?

You have to keep in mind that every channel and streaming service is kind of in the same boat here. No one is able to produce new content right now, and they're all facing the prospect of running out of fresh offerings for their viewers. It's not like Toonami is going to go to reruns while Netflix premiers 12 new anime series at the same time and meanwhile Adult Swim has six new regular comedy shows that need to find air time. You're ignoring the overall context in favor of more doomsday theories.

They could always just cut it into 3-4 episode length chunks and air it as a couple of special episodes. Hero- Sorry Deku you can't beat that mustache. Douche Rogue is dressed like a Hobbit. Okay I kinda love Bibimi. MY BABY. Don't worry about him, he's just fighting the oldest 30-something year old man. Oh shit, did he beat that mustache? Oh, that's a depressing backstory. Her thirst is her will to live and I respect that. Awww, nothing says love like bad eyeliner. La Brava's power is the exact opposite of mine. GENTLY SANDWICH. Everybody gets a sad backstory! His backstory is the firt part of The Incredibles. Oh this is depressing. I do like that he just took up that accent for the aesthetic. I miss Nighteye. Now I just feel sad. YEET. I might go cry now. Demon Slayer- I got a bad feeling about this. Never trust a creepy lady playing a sitar. Oh shit, it's Michael Jackson. Aw crap he can read minds now. I'm more afraid of the butterfly lady. I'm not sure how wise it is to kill a bunch of your top fighters all at once. Kinda hard to misunderstand things when he can read your mind. This is his fetish. Oh, I guess he won. Goddamn demon musicians and their weird Inception houses. CAW CAW MOTHERFUCKER. Where is my box daughter? I don't trust that guy. If that con lands on heads she's gonna kill you. Oh shit, she can talk! This is just a trick to steal your money. I choose to be indecisive as fuck. I like the girls. Shit, it's the cops. I kinda love Boarkugo. I love my box daughter. Paranoia Agent- This boy is a douche. This child has a very punchable face. He's just a poor boy from a poor family. Leave the fat kid alone. Well all her coworkers are bastards, let's start there. I hope he's brain damaged. Maybe don't go rollar blading aroun town now. At least there's one rational adult here. Oh yeah this is gonna go great for you. It's been like fifteen years and kids still don't know how to turn off their phones. This could be going better. Sucks to be this kid. Why would you bully someone if you already think he's attacking people on the street with a bat? What's with the tree? And then shit got real. Just listen to the weird talking plushie. Well, that ain't normal. Black Clover- Oh right, this guy turned into Killua's sister. "I'm a douchebag." Oh jesus what the hell now. I don't think that's supposed to happen. Is it Satan? Hell there, Twink Ryuk. Surprise, you were a fucking idiot all along. Nah, you can go ahead and just kill him. Use the screaming dumbass as a human shield. And nothing of value was lost. I'm definitely rooting for the devil here. Wow, he really was stupid as fuck. He might be my favorite character. Stop screaming you jackass. Wait, is THAT what's up with Yuno? He's got a dead baby elf soul in him? Kill them, weird giggling devil guy. This seems like a really unnecessarily convoluted plan but okay. Oh, shit got dumb again. Just kill everyone, demon. "I'm begging you, please stop" is exactly what I say to this show every week. Jojo- Planes never go well in this show. Moody Pilot kinda cracks me up. Wow that is one ugly bastard. Oh hey, Mista finally beat someone without hurting himself. That random suspicious guy sure was easy to take down. YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT. This is why you wear a condom. Well that noise sounds ominous. OH, THAT'S NOT NORMAL. You might wanna put Trish back in the turtle. I got a bad feeling about this. Show, I can't read Italian. Ohhhh that's nasty. Isn't that what almost killed Joseph that one time? You're gonna wanna start growing another arm now. Man that is the worst stand. Fuuuck. NO MY BABIES. Oh god he's so dumb. Get in the turtle. Owww that's horrifying. Again, never take a plane in this show. Aw shit he got Overhaul'd. Trish needs a hug. Oh fuck it's not gone. SHIT. Nice, it's turning into an arm.

I love that La Brava has the exact opposite power from me, who gets every anime boyfriend I have maimed or killed.

Did you know you don't need to make a brand new thread about every single anime-related thought that pops into your head?

For fuck's sake, could we corral the virus chatter to all the threads already dedicated to it? Do we have to keep talking about it in every single conversation? Can we go five goddamn minutes without having to dwell on the sad reality that is our lives now?

Why do you keep randomly going into italics mid-sentence for the rest of the post every time you bring up the virus? It's weird.

That is such a specific award. Hero- I love these kids. FRIENDSHIP ROPE. Shut up, Mineta. WORK SON. I love Hatsumei. Let that girl sleep. Nothing to see here, just two random bystaners. This is going well. You gotta kill them, Deku. Do it for the views, Gentle. His face. Oh, he's reverse Luffy. You can't beat his mustache. "That's the kid who blew up his own fingers." God I love Mirio's stupid ass. Awww Jiro. You could always call Bakugo and let him murder them. FINGER BLAST, GO. Stay inside, old man. And pose! I love the fancy Youtube man. It's just a prank, bro. Okay the bouncy construction site looks fun as hell. Just casually dropping a steel beam at an old man, no big deal. Those dresses are cute. Oh no what does her quirk do. Demon Slayer- "Hey kids, hit me with these sticks!" This needs the Mulan song. Well, you almost did it. Fuck this gourd! I love this bird. You suck, kid. She scares me. That's one angry pig. STOP SCREAMING. I like her, she's quiet. Oh boy, time for a tragic backstory. Well that's ominous. This shure is depressing. Crazy girl's sister sure looked a lot like Nezuko. Make it rain, girls. She's our urchin now! So then, she's depressed loli Two Face. STOP SCREAMING. And then they got stabbed. Swords are his fetish. The fuck, pig boy? Good job, make your swords weaker for the aesthetic. Oh hey, he caught her. Still needs the Mulan song. I feel like they should give new slayers this kind of training before they start going off to fight demons. MY DAUGHTER. Meanwhile, demons. Paranoia Agent- I love this OP. This is also how I feel with math. I still kinda want a Maromi plushie. This show really nailed the "nervous woman getting off the bus in a secluded area at night" vibe. My boss would just tell me to get back to work because we're understaffed. What a douche. I would assume that she just misrembered some details verses made the entire thing up. Titties. They're right, goddamn kids should just play Fortnight. Man I hate that guy. Ohh that's creepy. Fuck off, guy. The old woman fleeing after seeing a violent assult isn't that surprising, creep. Big deal, I hate my coworkers too. That guy is the worst. Kids are terrible. Yeah just keep harassing the injured woman, jackass. He got what he deserved. I could go for some BBQ too. Clover- Boy I sure am glad that we're not gonna run out of Black Clover episodes. Maybe these two will kill each other. "The Hateful" as a title that definitely belongs to me. Don't apoligize when you're fighting for your life, you moron. Tits out and trying to kill someone I hate, that's living the dream right there. MECHA SHIVA. Oh right, Yuno's in this show. I forget tht Charmy's not actually like 10 years old. I fucking hate Tinkerbelle. "Oh, I'm in hell" is also how I feel 90% of the time I watch this show. Draw girls with big titties like a normal weeb. MY FOOD. Oh now she's pissed. At least if she dies she doesn't have to be in Black Clover anymore. Well that's new. This show actually has a good idea for once? Oh thank god, it's Jack the Ripper. So have they explained what the fuck's up witn Yuno or nah? Oh right, he had that necklace. What is this bullshit? Jojo- Last time, Giorno got maimed by a toilet shark. They have a point, killing Giorno first is the smartest move. They're as gay as their fashion sense is bad. Great job on shooting Giorno, kiddo. Huh, did he figure out how to trick the tongue? Fishtank. The others are trying but they're dumb. Meanwhile, Giorno's drowning. Watching Giorno pop in and out of tiny pots and bowls is hilarious. How's he saying it? Aw shit it's a trap. And then they blew up. I'm sure the abandoned ladybug won't be immportant. Well, this could be going better. Just look for the people in the ugliest clothes. Narancia isn't smart enough to pull a trick like that. Jesus christ orange boy. Ohh, Giorno gave him a new tongue. Aww, that's actually really sweet. Oh fuck it was a trap. Man, the rest of these people are surprisingly chill about all this. Oh hey Giorno. NO DON'T GET ON A PLANE.

Does constantly stealing this John Oliver joke make you feel like you're actually funny?

I took that to mean they have contracts in place through that year. If the money's already been spent, AS is better off just airing whatever it is than letting the show go to waste.

Because "Oh, the cartoon block is showing an old anime show" is definitely what anyone gives a shit about nowadays.

Y'know, Toonami's survival odds are probably higher now than normal. If Adult Swim cans it in the next few months, it's not like they really have much to replace it with beyond their own reruns that probably won't pull in super great ratings either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They didn't even get Inuyasha: Final Act's title right.

"Funimation ends up on the production crew for an anime that's a faithful adaptation of a fanservicy manga." Okay, and....?

Let's be honest here. Evangelion 4.0: You Can (Not) Premier was gonna get delayed again anyway.
