Apparently it’s also on CR and they just didn’t bother to mention that till the day of.

He’s at least part Latino but yeah. How did he not recognize Axel right next to him? 🤣 That’s not a bracelet you try to steal! Also seems to have hacking functionality built in so it’s not just a burden I guess. People will definitely direct their anger toward DeMarco for how inclusive this show becomes despite Watanabe’s history of being more inclusive than most. Trans characters are a particular hot button right now in the US and also considered trendy to include in any left wing produced media that doesn’t want to bow to Trump’s regime.

Didn’t even think about that but maaaaaybe. Also when Axel stole some clothes there was a very Dandy looking jacket.

They can certainly hold out till the week before. One slot can go to Lazarus subbed and the other could just be another rerun. Primal perhaps. And there's always dropping a slot but I think they'll have something other than One Piece or Lazarus sub at 12:30AM even if its another rerun. Wishful thinking they managed to get Dr. Stone, Fire Force or Daima for May 10th and we have to wait to see if they ever continue Mashle, Blue Exorcist or Demon Slayer. But if they have nothing they should just do this. 12:00 AM - Lazarus 12:30 AM - One Piece 01:00 AM - One Piece 01:30 AM - Lazarus Sub 02:00 AM - Naruto 02:30 AM - Sailor Moon Just run Suicide Squad Isekai or Scavengers already WTF WB/D!

Goose egg for Easter weekend. https://bsky.app/profile/spiralmaiden.bsky.social/post/3ln7lhmgrvs2e

No schedule update yesterday, probably to no one’s surprise. But Aniplex has a panel at Sakura Con today from 6:30 to 7:30 PM PST this evening. The timing is right to announce Blue Exorcist Kyoto Arc if nothing else.

TOHO handled this themselves though they did have CR dub it. So I can't say I'm too surprised by this.

Skipping a Naruto would put them in danger of not finishing Land of Waves if the show leaves in May but they probably weren’t thinking about that.

If THIS is what it is then it would explain why they tossed it to 3AM rather than air it earlier in the block to save some precious One Piece episodes or something. EDIT: I don’t think that video is what will be airing. Seems they made a vintage style anime for this. It's subtitled and could certainly turn off their regular viewers just by the look of it so 3AM is a much safer bet than earlier in the block but at this point they could have played it at 1:30 without much concern.

That’s a bit surprising. At least it is doing well on AppleTV digital sales so far.

So they moved the Thursday slot to midnight and moved the encores to Sundays. It has already lasted longer than some expected but its evident by now that they will keep running it because it's paid programming.

This whole show is about substance in a manner of speaking. Someone didn't do enough research on prisons when they wrote this episode.

None of the folks I'm talking about are reviewing the show as a means to profit. They all write as a hobby. They're paid on passion but have torn down basically everything DeMarco has been associated with but like Common Side Effects, Scavengers Reign, My Adventures with Superman and Invincible Fight Girl (maybe only one of them liked Unicorn). Most of them didn't even like Ninja Kamui before the general audience turned on that one and even nitpick the first episode of Uzumaki. If anything they are overly critical of the co-pros so when they say Lazarus is genuinely good so far, that's quite a vote of confidence to me. I don't know if you ever read my initial reviews of Ninja Kamui, RATAM, etc but they aren't exactly glowing. I find these people to be of like mind and trust their tastes in entertainment in general.

You didn't have to wait long. There's a marathon of eps 1-9 tonight at Midnight. Set that DVR.

I think there's Toonami viewers that don't consider Space Dandy a 10/10 but Toonami viewers are more likely to love Space Dandy than the majority of the anime viewing public. I will say the people who endlessly sing the praises of Watanabe are the ones that are probably still watching Adult Swim and at least gave Dandy a chance or outright loved it. I think you should trust their integrity a tad more than that and none of these folks I'm talking about are really Watanabe dick riders. They are not concerned with going against acceptable public opinion and suggesting a Watanabe project didn't turn out well. I'm not saying their judgement is infallible but I've known them not to sugar coat it when it comes to DeMarco's pet projects. So I genuinely feel some relief that they say its good so far. But as you said, starting off well doesn't mean it will stay good and for that we'll just have to wait and see.
