it could simply be toonami not really finding it worth the effort to keep doing this every week when they are already dealing with enough crap with this pandemic however the fact it happened so early in Fire Force Season two does make me wonder what's really going on as i doubt they'd suddenly decide to remove the weekly promo's for no reason whatsoever the reason the topical promo's existed in the first place was to drum up hype for the episodes and give a little tease into what's happening next without them the lead up from one toonami to the next is identical and hype isn't built or maintained just a bunch of sustaining promo's that remind us "this exists!" that's good for people who don't know about toonami or what these shows are about but for people who have been tuning in for weeks already these sustaining promo's serve no purpose at all

fun fact did ya know the english dub for disk wars is actually considered lost media

an episode title usually doesn't tell you what's gonna happen in the next episode itself and searching for that info can lead to spoilers for those who haven't seen the episode the weekly promo's helped build hype without giving too much away now it's just "what's gonna happen next week? Tune In To Find Out!" No Tease Or Hype at all which makes the build up from one week to the next non-existent because if you haven't seen the episodes yet you don't know if you should be excited or not you don't know if it'll be boring or amazing it's just "I Hope this episode doesn't suck" which isn't really a good mindset to have waiting for the next edition of toonami

A Notable sale special this week Dr Stone bundles and MHA Bundles are on sale(single volumes for each are $5.49) this even includes the spin-off's for MHA Vigilantes and the short lived comedy series MHA Smash!

it really seems like that's the case and as i stated just now....it really sucks because that comes at the expense of fire force's weekly commercials without these....people who haven't watched them really don't know what's gonna happen next not even a brief idea to build up hype and if they try looking up online for the answer they could run into spoilers i think weekly promo's helped build hype for certain shows leading up to the next toonami without them there's no real hype build up because nobody would know there is a hype worthy moment coming unless they've already seen the episode

well we have our answer....last night i saw a generic 15 second commercial for sword art online instead of a weekly topical explaining the next episode so the other shows will probably get generic commercials as well stating the show's on saturdays at "Insert time here" instead of Next saturday at "Insert time here" this sucks in my opinion since fire force never really had weekly promo's during S1 and S2 only got to have a couple before they quit doing them entirely https://www.facebook.com/Toonami/posts/2603003143323850 that post has the fire force sustaining promo

it just sucks because they were finally starting to promote fire force season 2 after bungling the toonami premiere to the point where some didn't even realize Season 2 was starting that week so to go from that to toonami not being promoted at all on air isn't good

i noticed there wasn't a single topical promo for any show aired last night during toonami are they giving up topicals entirely or were they not ready in time?

a little off topic but in the midst of this...I'm just browsing rightstuf anime's site(for the holiday sale)and noticed most notable viz media manga's have some volumes out of stock if not completely.... which means as soon as the new holiday bundles update in 20 minutes or so....there's gonna be some that are already out of stock due to that Unless there's some viz titles I've forgotten about somehow....

i got the twisted visions junji ito artbook and tomie hardcover deluxe during the second week of the black friday sale although since tomie's out of stock...no telling when that order will actually ship anyways this week's manga specials are bundles for (Viz)black clover black torch and no guns life (yen press)interspecies reviewers elders sister like one and val x love the single volumes for those series are also on discount this week

https://www.rightstufanime.com/ They've also been doing weekly manga specials for viz media and yen press published books as apart of this

that makes no sense...whatsoever why does the rerun of demon slayer get to stay for the night but naruto doesn't?

all these hbo max themed marathons aren't making it look any better

hestu felt really clunky to use

still though toonami doesn't really gain anything from this marathon....it's just to lead people to HBO Max and that's all

and i just don't think that's gonna work.....hbo max really doesn't have the original content to say it's as great as Warner says it is

i guess the same

Most of the darker stuff adult swim has aired in the past had some downtime of some kind and wasn't just non stop misery even attack on titan wasn't just titans eating people and there were moments where the characters weren't in peril

i dunno it just seems like HBO Max didn't become as popular as Warner wanted it to be and now they are trying to make it sound like it's better than it actually is

Crafting Wasn't in previous AC Games as mentioned by this comment and crafting is where the grind comes into play tools that break so you have to craft new ones before you can craft anything else.... events are all about collecting materials and crafting them to make more items... before NH....Crafting didn't even exist in AC so I'm not sure how the holiday events were always like this

Did i watch a different show or something? because the primal i watched wasn't happy or an enjoyable romp it was depressing and tragic with very little break from the madness most of the shows you listed weren't constantly going nuts there was downtime it wasn't just nonstop titan attacks or children being devoured by demons all the time

except the transition from what airs now to something like samurai jack wouldn't be as much of a mood whiplash as primal would be Imagine going from assassination classroom straight into primal.... and then afterwards it would be another mood shift as there's no way what comes after it would be as dreary or violent nobody can deny that the tonal shift from anything toonami airs now to "Primal" would be hard to ignore
