Lupin the 3rd Comes to Toonami June 17th
ben0119 replied to viperxmns's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
If true, that's pretty shitty. To just sacrifice viewers FOR THE GREATER GOOD. That doesn't sound like the Demarco way! -

I don't give a fuck about ratings. I want a new show! -

They have no proof these deals exist. They're talking out their asses. I think maybe you guys just need to accept that Adult Swim is retarded. And their shitty scheduling seems to be infecting and taking over Toonami's once rather logical scheduling. It's looking more and more like ASA idiocy all the time. -

What are you basing this Toei scapegoating on? Or any of this, really. You're doing a lot of assuming here. You have no proof that Toonami is locked to keeping any shows into particular time slots. Iron is cold as fuck and makes me wish they never even bothered. Those Tokyo Ghoul fans must have been really patient and persistent. Yeah Lupin is definitely a not a top tier show which is why I guess it is getting this slot. Lol Naruto... "story heavy." No you have to suffer with the rest of us. -

My thoughts exactly. I have no issue with Jack rerunning, but why waste the opening slot on that? There's plenty of new shows you could put there! It's VERY disappointing. -

I think live ratings count more than DVR ratings but I could be wrong on that. I mean, if someone REALLY likes a show they'll make the effort to watch it live, right? Besides, it's the principle of the thing. Also new viewers probably aren't going to DVR a new show, unless the promo manages to interest them enough, or they already record the whole block anyway. And in no way do I think most casual viewers watch it religiously like we do. -

I guess they must not consider Lupin a top tier show. Which yeah, it kinda' isn't, but still... -

Which is probably not the best way to go about making your show. I mean, it's fine for something that doesn't matter, like that Amuro picture, but stuff like this? If you want to go to lengths to include connections and fan service, etc, for long time/hardcore fans, that's fine, but it should be stuff comes as a bonus for those people and you don't have to know it if you aren't as familiar with the universe, to get important things about the show.

They didn't show Char's face either for some stupid reason so if you didn't know who he was that part would be easy to miss too. I at least saw parts of the original series plus Char's Counterattack, but I don't remember this girl. That's a pretty unique character design too. So does Full Frontal know them or something? Because that's how it came across. Because I'm pretty sure Frontal was not in the original series. Hahahahahaaha wow.

Oh Inochi recognized her from the dude's memory. Oh yeah, Ibiki is going to throw down! Iron Maiden... giant cat? Not what I expected. Alright, this is more like it! I don't think these undead ninjas care if you torture them. Defeated already? That sucks. Well, that's happens when you wait so long to have a character fight and then put him up against someone uber hax. Wish we could've seen more. I swear those slugs are like symbols of shame LOL. -

Don't worry if something happened they'd send a messenger frog! I thought the Nine Tails got sealed and Naruto swore off using the powers or something. Oh forget it. Danzo you piece of shit. So they have to go through every single memory this guy has ever had one by one to find anything. Damn. Bullshit he's gone through that many memories that fast. But maybe there's some kind of time dilation going on or something. It's that damn cerberus thing again. Yes let's leave it to the trusty Anbu. Yup that new one is the girl. By the way she looks kinda like one of those four henchman Orochimaru had. Hmm looks like someone recognizes her. HOW THE HELL HAVE YOU PEOPLE NOT FIGURED THIS OUT YET?! This music video is cracked. Whoa that monster.com monster is cool! -
You're up against Full Frontal! Ppbbbbbffffffft HAHAHAHAHAHA Are we really giving Riddhe a second chance after all his bullshit? Where did Full Frontal get that giant suit? Why the hell are you feeling sorry for Riddhe? Now what's going on? Flashback? Time travel? No, they're more like observers. Light in the darkness... oof. Eh? More Newtype ghosts. Well, that was anticlimatic. Damn you and your rational plan Full Frontal! What the fuck just happened? Frontal took off with those other 2 ghosts. One looked like Char but I have no idea who the hell that girl was. Why are you doing this? Good question, which you could ask of a lot of characters in this show. Lots of questionable and nonsensical, or just plain nonexistent character motivations. Fat guy finally develops a conscious. Too little too late. So I take it Riddhe is related to president man. I remember him being from some important family or something. You should have mentioned that BEFORE they activated the death beam, fat man!

This whole Newtypes having some divine rights to rule bullshit is dumb. Besides the whole fact of Newtypes in general being stupid (why would you get psychic powers from living in space?), it feels very artificial in the way it's obviously written in after the fact, based on previous Gundam mythos. How the hell would they be able to predict that Newtypes might come into existence?

You could say it's a race relations metaphor. Kaniki is biracial and being descriminated against by some people from both races. Or it's a gay metaphor and he's bisexual and being descriminated against by against by some gays and straights. OR MAYBE THE SHOW IS MAKING A GRAND STATEMENT ON EATING DISORDERS. All of the above is giving this show waaaaaaaay too much credit.
-
I love how the show said Kaniki's parents are dead because it didn't feel like making their characters. Ah, the always never present anime parents. Devil Ape? Really? We have a cockatiel. Kaniki is a pushover. Hahaha the way Kaniki reacted to that. They found the whinest bitch VA they could. Did they do a casting call? He fits! Oh that's why we got that flashback. To show how Toka's once sweet and innocent brother has grown up to be super edgy, like everything else in this show. This show is so edgy. I'm on the edge of my seat! Edge of getting up off it!
-
This show realized Mado was one of the best things about the show, so they made a flashback after they killed him off. I am seriously surprised Mado died this fast though. So we're going to retroactively develop Amon's character huh? If you like that eye quit staring. They waited 8 minutes in to play the OP to trick us into thinking they wouldn't arrrggghhh! *smashes mute button* Sorry I'm not going to accept this guy as a wacky member of the group. Toka is right about him being a douchbag though. Uh, this bar girl is not a character. So Rize IS still alive inside Kaniki?

Okay I gotta call BS on Armin pulling that out of his ass that she scratched something on his hand. Damn Mikasa was almost able to kill them before they transformed! These hours earlier interludes annoy the hell out of me. The show always does it in the middle of some big moment too. So I guess Reiner and Berthold didn't have a change of heart after all. TRAITORS! So we've got a Titan Triple Threat! Annnnd of course it's a cliffhanger. -

Of course there's not a hole. Holy hell, did that really just happen like that? BY THE WAY... Also, never would have pegged that guy as the Colossal Titan. He doesn't resemble that form, unlike the others. Who the hell is that guy anyway? He's been glorified set dressing until now. So they were sent to exterminate humanity, but had a change of heart. Where does that flashback of Reiner's friend getting eaten fit in, then? -

Wait Historia is her first name, really? That's not... a name. This show's PLOT gets more complicated by the hour second. So they don't have enough people to man every part of the wall? Otherwise the hole (which probably doesn't exist) would have been reported.
