  1. What type of meat? My copper weber and the parts to fix my treager came in today. So I did the first burn on the weber, and it'll be good to go tomorrow. Grabbed some drumsticks and some pork. Thinking I'll just do some rubbed drumsticks and baked potatoes tomorrow on it. Also those bastards didn't send my cover for the weber; so now I'll have to wait for them to get that out. The Treager I'm probably going to have to mod some before I start it up. The new control module I installed has a thermal sensor that is supposed to sit inside of the grill. This one however doesn't really have anywhere for it to sit because it's such an old model. It's been like 98 degrees every day and it's just too hot to try and fuck with it for long. The WSM should be here tomorrow. My great uncle cut down a chestnut tree last month, so I'm going to see if I can get some of that for the smoker. Also bought a rib rack for the WSM. Seen a video of someone smoking 23 full racks of ribs at once with it. I'm also thinking about buying some pork belly from costco and making my own bacon.
  2. Konosuba and Overlord are good. I mean refusing to watch any of them is kinda like saying DBZ, One Piece, Black Clover, Naruto, and Bleach were the exact same show so you'd only ever have to watch one of them and you'd know exactly what to expect from the others.
  3. There are still a hand full of good ones.
  4. Yeah without a doubt about SAO only being on the block due to having a large fandom. I don't care what DeMarco says; he 100% doesn't like isekai series. It's been like half if not more of all the anime being produced for the last five years. Toonami has only managed to get the one; which also happens to be the least isekai of them aside from season 1.
  5. Yeah budget is an issue to an extent. Though I feel that some series prices really shouldn't be as much of an issue. I would rather have getting a couple of good shows a year than 4 complete garbage shows that combined cost as much if not more than what it would have taken to get a couple of good ones. The problem is that DeMarco has to see the value in it himself, which he can't because he has boomer anime hipster shit taste. Shield Hero, Tanya, and Re Zero I'd say never. SH and Tanya would prove to be too problematic. As well I don't think that SH would fit the block well. I could see Tanya on though. However that show has pretty much been banned from anime cons so I don't think Toonami wants to deal with the sjw backlash of people who can't tell a fictional WWI setting apart from a fictional WWII setting. Re-Zero has the problem of having the slowest first 12 episodes in any anime ever. The groundhog day nature of it I think would be a turn off towards the majority of viewers. Overlord probably has the highest chance of getting picked up, but even that show has some casual filter arcs that won't be liked by many viewers. Konosuba I think would work great; but again DeMarco's shit taste I doubt he'd ever air it. I like toonami, but I feel that it's held back a lot by its staff from doing better. Yeah I've been more active on here. Kinda the result of the world falling apart and not having much else to do. Really I should be working on my videogame backlog lol. I don't think that they ever really imposed that onto themselves. I mean they've shown plenty of older series. It also depends on what the studios are charging them for different series. I think Toonami has been trying to catch lighting in a bottle, and grabbing shows while they're in concept before even getting animated; then hoping it's a hit. Their logic is that this will bring the most profit for them, because after the show is already a hit in Japan, they'll have to pay even more money for it.
  6. Kekk was a horrible show. If the manga is good then good for it, but the anime was terrible. I'm pretty sure Soul Eater did air; I'm actually positive it did. ASA and Toonami are the same exact block to me. Just remove tom and it's the same block. Hell when Toonami took over it was still showing a lot of the same exact shows that ASA had been airing at the time. As for the Staff I still think that they're horribly out of touch; or have very particular tastes in series that they don't like to diverge from. I think there is also just an issue with the type of anime being produced today vs when AS/T were starting. It also doesn't help that back in the day they were the only game in town for this sort of content, and now there are a handful of streaming services and the internet to contend with. As much as I advocate them getting series like Konosuba or Overlord at the same time those are series which have been around for a while now. It would still be new to some people but nothing like it was back in the day. When Cowboy Bebop first aired on Adult Swim. There was no way you'd have seen that unless you had the VHS or a bootleg. When Naruto first aired on Toonami internet streams were 144p (the p stands for potato), and torrents would take over a day to get just one episode. I also don't think that they really watch many anime themselves to find out what a show is really like. A lot of series now have added moe, slice of life, and isekai masks onto their series that get kinda subverted if you watch them. For the Toonami staff they have to immediately see some sort of cool factor that appeals to them; like a kid in the 90s picking a movie out to rent based only on how cool the cover is.
  7. Even when Kishi gave it an upgrade in the movie, it was just an Animal Path with Byakugan abilities. Really the tenseigan is pointless when you consider that all of the Jutsu came from the Space Rabbits. There would be no point for the Tenseigan when the Animal Path Existed.
  8. I lost track of time and missed the episode, shame. Oh well do it again next week.
  9. Guess Asta and Nero are staying roommates
