that well's gonna continue to be dry until this pandemic passes unfortunately that's the difference between then and now....back then the world wasn't shutdown due to a virus so we didn't have to worry about shows being yanked because they ran out of dubbed episodes and needed some filler on the block that's my main concern...that toonami will need a lot of filler shows until this pandemic runs it's course and that stuff like black clover due to the slowed down process of at home dubbing will have it's time slot constantly rotated more often than it should be and for the short term...that will work but the longer this pandemic lasts the more drastic changes toonami will have to make to the block with stuff such as S2 of fire force and dr.stone as well as SAO war of underworld Part II delayed indefinitely i think Paranoia agent's introduction to the block was just the beginning

because adultswim has driven that anime into the ground more than any other i think it's a personal favorite for many of the staff

since there's been zero word on DS's replacement at this point i expect a rerun(modern or classic)

just being realistic...out of all reruns cowboy bebop is the most likely to start off the block if MHA has to vanish soon the problem then becomes what about when MHA Returns? it'd be awkward to put it back in for just a few more episodes and then have to replace that slot so soon

yeah no matter what anyone says...PA doesn't really seem like something that would be wise to air currently because well it is a bleak series it's marketing always pushed it as that

i think RE3 Remake coming out so close to FF7 Remake was just oooof

true but at the same time i feel like PA is marketed on being dark and dreary they sell the show on it being a depressing bizarro show that screws with the mind it has been too long since i last saw PA and i suppose the reason i believed it to be dark and suicidal level depressing all the time is because the dreary stuff like i said is what's generally promoted in material for PA even the toonami promo made it look like someone's deranged mental breakdown

I'm not sure how you'd even fit that into toonami unless it's over the top ice skating in the way that food wars was over the top wacky food battles we have to remember first and foremost toonami is an action block true there are always some shows that pop up that aren't action themed but those are in the minority and the majority of major shows that toonami picks up are action themed most importantly this isn't the cw where they can air whatever progressive shows they want without consequences this is still adultswim which shares a channel with cartoon network and they do have to appease advertisers sad to say a show like Yuri On Ice probably wouldn't make them happy at all a reason why we never saw the Fujiko Mine Lupin series(because it was too risky for american television...)

is it actually more positive than i remember? because i watched it long ago on adultswim and what i can remember is dreary and dark it doesn't mesh well with the rest of the block when you see how the other shows at least have some sense of hope and positivity i doubt anyone has ever used either of those words to describe Paranoia agent

no word on Episode 85 Of MHA....so chances are likely Cowboy bebop will be the lead show after next week

i mean it's either food wars or more reruns...

goodbye food wars...I'll miss ya i have my doubts demarco will be able to secure seasons 3-5

Doki Doki Panic aka super mario bros II

at least food wars is just a show of over the top food battles and has it's own sense of comedic wackiness thrown in PA is just hopeless despair and horrid nightmares hopping from that to Asta screaming for his friends in black clover is nuts

i just think dreary depressing shows clash hardcore with the modern toonami block...

seems like a poor choice since covid-19 already has people feeling depressed enough as it is....we don't need a show that's so dreary and dark that it could make it's own nightmares

Seasons 3-5 have it's rights controlled by a different company than Seasons 1-2

honestly i fear toonami will be left with just reruns before the year is over

i had an opposite reaction to the demo which is why i downloaded it

this time next week no more food gasms and instead "screaming death despair and hopeless ness" ya know...what we really need during a time when people are stressed out

true but we have streaming services now and if toonami became nothing but reruns there's little reason for anyone to keep checking in every week if there's no originals or dub premieres

i mean it's not like people will give away food for free forever plus eventually people will have to pay bills...and when they can't due to no job that means they are literally left in the dark

as long as people are watching but if the block becomes a run of the mill rerun factory then it'll be as depressing as those empty arena wwe shows where most of it is promo's and old match replay's

no matter what he says if it comes down to the block being reruns it doesn't matter if he says toonami's here to stay....if less and less people are watching that becomes the deciding factor
