reminds me of a common saying attached to such shows "i grew up but these characters didn't" You Could have been watching something like it ever since you were a kid only to realize while You've grown and changed as a person over time those characters have pretty much stayed the same and are even the same age as when you first discovered them it has this weird effect where you feel less interested in the characters knowing they'll never truly learn or develop any sort of progression yeah sure we might have learned more about them but if there's a part 6 none of this will really matter and It'll be back to business as usual with People-Log not even getting a mention

Lupin feels so out of place on toonami though due to it's "don't give a crap" attitude because nothing will ever matter in the long run because the characters will be the same by the end

luckily they'll just hit the status quo reset button if there's another series

have we finally gotten to the point where we need lame crap like "Is Lupin's face even real?!" to keep people talking

say that now but streaming services are making television networks and their blocks obsolete faster and faster

that's what happens when there's over a dozen streaming services and people can't afford them all Funimation Now Isn't exactly something many people would pick over disney plus or netflix

i think all marathons do is push some people to services like funimation now because if you really enjoy something would you wait for several weeks of holiday marathons to resume watching it or would you just go straight to funimation now and start an account there? streaming services are such a threat to toonami that giving people more reasons to jump on board one isn't good

someone noted with this in play(and the new years marathon) MHA S4 will be at least 6 weeks behind and Fire Force Will Be 4 weeks behind

i feel like he's in every anime

it just feels off....like either you have a marathon or you have the normal lineup you don't just have a marathon and have two new episodes before the marathon starts...that implies you think enough people will be watching to justify it but somehow not enough for the rest of the block

anyone else still find it weird we have a new episode of MHA And OPM on a night where nobody's expected to be watching?

everyone knows mine

hell last night all i could think after each episode was "welp they chose a fine time to take a marathon break"

the boomer scope

ugh i hate we gotta wait 2 weeks for the next episode....

i don't even know why rick and morty has episode promo's when most of the time they just exist to troll the audience and say "Fooled Ya Suckah! that wasn't what this episode was about at all!" i mean come on....it gets old after awhile when you know the episode promo's flat out lie

like are they trying to piss us off? i remember when stuff like this could have a normal opening without being chopped up...but i guess these days it's all about pleasing the advertisers and having a butt load of commercials

it's as bad as the fire force opening cut we have now...it gets to the build up and then nothing all for what? a bunch of hot pockets and anti-vape ads

same here....it's a breath of fresh air when there aren't as many marathons every time a marathon happens it just disrupts the schedule and we're left just hanging onto the simplest crap for some shows because anything can be played off as a major cliffhanger with a marathon around the corner

or will it be like this year where the marathons are downplayed and there's fewer....i ask because i really enjoyed how marathons were less of a thing this year and so when they did happen like the case with The DBS Finish Line marathon and this upcoming food wars marathon it doesn't feel like "Ooof Here we go again" because in an age of streaming i don't think marathons can make me feel anything except annoyed

i wonder how many people still give a crap about thanksgiving anyways...
