If/when cable goes the way of Blockbuster, will Demarco commit seppaku? Not sure how Toonami can remain cutting edge at this rate. Cable companies refuse to change and adapt and offer better pricing options, whilst streaming services ruthlessly tear through them like Langoliers. And Demarco continues to make equally baffling decisions.
-
It's almost as if not literally every anime is affiliated with Netflix, yet Demarco still fails to get them.
-
Not only that but in the old days they had to compete with other actual TV networks that ran anime once upon a time. They pulled dickish moves too, like buying shows Toonami wanted and sitting on them. There's going to be competition. Does he expect to do business in a vacuum? So yeah there's no excuse really.
-
Which goes to show you where Demarco's priorities are and his thinking is.
-
That's after the fact. Demarco was the one endlessly pestering people in Japan for years for them to make more FLCL, like a child, until they finally gave in. All this time everyone else was content with FLCL being the singular lightning in a bottle classic masterpiece that it was. Things were set and that was that. But Demarco couldn't leave well enough alone. And now the block is suffering for it.
-
Obviously not, that's an exaggeration. But clearly whatever they are doing is draining funds to such a degree, even with likely assistance from Adult Swim's main budget, that we have no new shows. This isn't sustainable. The block shouldn't rot just so Demarco can get his fanboy fap on. Where are the shows, then? Outlaw Star was replaced by a rerun. Cowboy Bebop was to "play it since the HD tapes never got aired in full," but it's airing again, and not as a "placeholder" since apparently Demarco said it was running in full. A rerun of a rerun. A waste of a slot and one less premiere. Now FLCL is playing for the 80 billionth time to lead in to the new series. It won't have Demarco's intended effect if the new shows end up being a pile of shit by comparison, airing them back to back with the original will make that explicit. And FLCL was always a NICHE SERIES.

Yeah. It's like Kishimoto made all these characters and then didn't know what to do with them. But with Anko you'd think it would be pretty easy! -
Those are the same rookies they recruited right? I didn't keep that close track of them. And yes training then in the field was stupid. Who was the boss talking to? WORLD DOMINATION! Like Pain? Yup Kuze gone cucco. Major made an oregami thingy. Russia had a submarine base in Japan? I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE BACKSTORY OF THIS WORLD! ALL WE EVER GET ARE HINTS AND TEASES!

You'd think Orochimaru's apprentice would be more relevant. Actually, now that I think about it, since she has a curse mark, does she have a transformation? -

Since that ninja team has two women, maybe at least one of them is capable. They have numbers on their side LOL. Is that the blonde? Yeah like I said, a thick android 18. -

Did Kishimoto completely forget about her She-Hulk strength she's had since the timeskip? -

That Hinata thing was filler. Yeah you'd think we would've heard more about this village lol. I had also expected the other Jinchuriki would get significant attention, like Gaara did. So that disappointed me. -
I think Mika was joking, if that's possible for him. Fat guy I hope was just a soldier or mercenary or something. McGillis isn't a part of Tekkadan. Mika is totally psycho and gives no fucks though. And there are other weirdoes. It's a bad of misfits! But yeah dunno. Guess Yamagi was just another one of the street rats? Remember how the show started out?
-
He started going to work with him every day after a while, remember?
-
He was just upset about the time loop, and that he'd been literally wasting time trying to get with her.

Lol Meow lost it at the lesbian Katie reveal. For being her girlfriend her boss treats her like shit. Also her with that old lady. Yuck. Love this manly beer commercial music that plays when Meow's dad cuts the page. That was a Gundam and one of those orb robot thingies in that shot where they discuss what the part is for, hahaha. Yep their life is pretty monotonous regardless!

He caught the glass. They called it Wahoo instead of Yahoo and Gogol instead of Google in the dub. But I thought it being called the Gogol Empire was part of that joke?
