Then why the fuck did they do that?! Even Goku's first Super Saiyan transformation didn't go unscathed!

I thought they supposedly did that because the original footage was "lost" or something. But yeah now that you mentioned it I'm glad we haven't seen it in this saga. That was awful.

But that was years ago. Is it still being highly requested now?

Hahaha.

Still pretty pissed off. "Triggered" is a stupid term, by the way.

I really do hope that Tokyo Ghoul was a last minute pickup that they scrambled to grab because One Piece got canceled on short notice, because I feel like if they had more time to plan they could've come up with something better. Then again the deal could've been inked for a while, and the show came in a bit sooner because One Piece unexpectedly left, so who knows.

That's a good point. Most shows on other networks get promoted throughout their run, typically with a "next time on" on type of deal. This might be difficult with all of the shows Toonami has in such a compacted space, but it couldn't hurt to run those general lineup promos more often. Maybe after the initial set of promos they figure the lead-ins are enough to keep people around. And of course, usually if someone likes the first episode of a show they'll tune in for the rest, or at least the next few weeks. Like a restaurant, you get one first impression.

They're doing a lot of things to derail momentum lately. They preempted Samurai Jack and Dragonball Super pointlessly because HURDUR April Fools. Now they're derailing Tokyo Ghoul's momentum to double up on JoJo to air Attack on Titan faster, because reasons. Remember all the spiel about not having too many schedule shakeups and keeping the block stable so it doesn't disrupt the viewers' experience and ratings? So much for that!

Demarco can try to justify all the bullshit "holidays" he wants, but if we took it a step further and attempted the program the block around every major sporting, entertainment, and other event going on the block would pretty much never air. Toonami already took a hit from Jack and Super not airing and you forget the rest of the block still aired that night. And again there was no forewarning of this aside from Demarco's stupid Twitter which most people don't look at. I hope they choke on that nugget. So then there was no point of airing this now when they could've just ran promos. This was pure dickery. Williams Street can burn in Hell and Lazzo should pull a Hudsucker Proxy.

Oh, good. I hope that's the case.

So is JoJo going to come back ever or were the ratings not good enough?

Wow they just played one of those low-rent addiction hotline commercials. Thought it was some Adult Swim thing at first.

It's too bad Venomlord isn't here for me to rub it in his face how he was wrong about Adult Swim never getting 13 episode series again.

Don't try to act like that's why they did that. There was no logic put it into this. Just goes to show even more how stupid they were to premiere Rick & Morty against such competition. The hit will be critical.

Doubt it's half a billion. That's 200 million over the U.S. population, most other countries don't care about American football, and not everyone in the U.S. likes football. Then again I don't either and I still watch it for the commercials and the spectacle of it all.

Not every shonen protagonist is an idiot. I can think of Yugi and Kenshin right off the top of my head. Wouldn't really call Ichigo dumb, but he's not a genius, either. And the non-stupid ones are definitely a breath of fresh air.

Yeah Shikamaru can relate. Naruto finally realizes it. Gonna' have to grow up sooner or later!

Is that really how encryption works? No key and they can't solve it? Oh look an old school PC. Still not sure what the tech level of this world is supposed to be! Oh god what's with this nerdy girl. 106 cm bust. Why didn't Kakashi say something? So I guess Shikamaru knows what happened to Jiraiya now. Wow Naruto is back to being literally retarded again. The kid will be Shikamaru's student. T__T

I know it wouldn't have been applicable in this situation, since Jiraiya smuggled the body out so fast, but whatever happened to those ninjas that were supposed to show up and retrieve the bodies of ninjas before the enemy could get them? Was a neat bit of lore/world building, but we never heard about them again after that first time! Gross, a dead body. Yes get the medical ninas and an autopsy done. Oh hey it's Iruka. I wished he had been more of a character but he's barely ever around after the early episodes. Oh man this part got me. *cries* Thanks, Iruka, though.

Actually, I partially take that back. I'll be able to watch tonight's Naruto live since I just caught up on last week's while Hiatus was on. So I just have the 2 Gundams to watch after this, then. Sasuke's reasoning for this makes no fucking sense. So, Itachi let Naruto have some of his power. Okay, then. And yeah he should listen to Jiraiya and Itachi. Sasuke is beyond a lost cause. Besides the fact, you were never "like brothers!" So, did the other Akatsuki know Tobi was Madara or not? Why was he putting up that act, then? This makes no sense. Didn't think I missed such a big episode! So, Naruto finally found out that Jiraiya died. Poor kid. Yeah it was much better when Pain was the leader. A code. So we still won't learn the secret then, yet. Damn it. Okay I am ready for tonight's episode.

Toka is the classic tough exterior but softy on the inside kind of character, but that was pretty obvious from the beginning. By the way, it feels like this show is introducing too many characters too fast.

Who is this dude? Reminds me of that racing rival from Space Dandy a bit.

This mask maker is funny. Of course we knew Kaneki would stumble in on the girl eating flesh like that. Though it's silly because there wouldn't be that much blood most likely, and you'd think the girl could at least wipe her mouth! What are they killing them with? The brief cases? Aww he's going to teach her new words. How... adorable? Ah so the masks are to hide themselves during "ghoul time" so the investigators don't discover them during "human time." You know killing all your possible informants before they can even tell you anything isn't the best way to go about investigating. And even if some of them don't anything it's just going to make all of them keep an even lower profile now. I never did get around to watching the Gundam and Naruto episodes I skipped last week so I can't watch live tonight either. I'll watch all four eps later.

Some doctor. What's all this then? The mother and daughter are ghouls, really? Must been why they were portrayed so nice and innocent. Why is coffee the only thing that tastes good? This reminds of me of Ash of the "Buffy-verse" talking about how human food tastes like ash to him. Sneaky way of eating human food. Okay so they eat suicide victims. You could get food from the morgue too. This makes a lot more sense for your self-preservation and trying to live with humans. He even pays respect to the dead, too. "Box Carriers" doesn't sound nearly as ominous as this show thinks it does. Alright why is white coat man such a weirdo? They're duty is to do what to ghouls? Toka looks way different with her hair like that when she was studying just now. The old guy needs to study humans. But didn't all the ghouls used to be humans at one point? Why would you need to study them? Oh cool plague doctor mask.

Hahahaha.
