Demarco broke another one of his promises? I'm shocked! I was hoping Shippuden and One Piece would run double episodes on a regular basis. The faster we can rip the Shippuden bandaid off the better! And well, I hear One Piece's pacing gets worse later on. And regardless, there's over a 1000 episodes now.

https://blog.funimation.com/2017/08/01/funimation-agrees-acquired-sony-pictures-television-networks/ Sony bought Funimation on October 27, 2017. Why would the relationship suddenly go to shit now? I mean, is Toonami really considered a form of competition to Funimation Now, though? Sadly, the shows Toonami gets are bigger than Toonami itself. Toonami isn't making names anymore. Toonami needs these shows more than the shows need Toonami nowadays. Streaming services for anime like Funimation Now and Crunchyroll are also vastly more known than Toonami, and especially the more general ones like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max. There is also a higher barrier to entry with a cable bill that costs hundreds of dollars a month, to watch Toonami. So, would Sony really care that much about shows being on Toonami and not just Funimation Now? Also it's not very wise of Demarco to openly complain about the companies he's trying to make deals with. That's not likely to get them to be nicer to him and cooperate more.

In the second picture, Nami doesn't have a Thomas the Tank Engine face or a waist the size of her wrist.

Though to be fair, there aren't that many pirate animes. One Piece was considered novel when it first came out, for being in that genre. What other ones even are there? Captain Harlock? But that's in SPACE.

Well, I just got finished watching this show. I decided to watch it on a whim after I saw this really funny clip, and also being feeling deprived by Toonami's lack of content over the past several months. Although did feel there was an outside chance for this show to air on Toonami now, since they are having to be less picky and go for some older series, but when I watched it and noticed how Aqua's ass is on display in almost every scene she's in, I realized that's a probably an impossibility! And wow, did I really have the wrong idea about this show. The whole idea of someone dying and being sent to another world is DUMB and I want to slap whoever came up with it! But, this show must not be one of the first in this genre, because it actually makes fun of that concept and basically all the other isekai tropes! It's hilarious! Kazuma thought a truck was coming but it was really a tractor! And didn't even die from getting hit, but from being scared! Of course the world is not the fun adventure Kazuma expected, and most stuff doesn't go by plan. The characters are basically riding by the seat of their pants the whole time and succeeding in spite of themselves. Although they do plenty of failing as well. I liked that Kazuma learned thief skills, since that is one of my favorite Final Fantasy jobs, but I never would have expected him to use it to steal panties! I love Darkness, she is like a perverted Erza if she couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with her sword! I thought it was hilarious she turned down her suitor because he was too much of a gentleman! Kazuma making Darkness do that stuff in the bath because he thought it was the succubus' dream has gotta be a legendary scene. Interesting that the headless horseman general was saying he didn't have any depraved torture planned for Darkness, but then he ended being kind of a pervert anyway since he would roll his head under Wiz's skirt. Then the recurring joke of him trying to get her to join him when Aqua's powers keep almost killing her! Aqua's followers being like Jehova's Witnesses on steroids was pretty funny, as was the fact slimes are one of the most deadly enemies in this world. I kept wondering if big tough guy who kept commenting on the heroes' progress through the show (who is an interior designer or something and not even an adventurer ) was really a god or someone more important than he seems. And whoever said this wasn't a harem was right. It really isn't, despite the cast make-up. But, I think it is still catering to a similar demographic, or it wouldn't have all those girls in the show and all the fan service and perverted scenes. Although, this show isn't really that crazy with that stuff. And something I did find sus, Megumin's age in the original web novels was 17, but was changed to a preteen in the light novels and anime. So I have to wonder what the purpose behind that change was, and how this character was treated and used originally, before the age change. I am surprised there are just 22 episodes over 2 seasons. I'd hoped it would be longer, since I was really enjoying it. The second season came out in 2017? Though apparently a movie came out in 2019. I have been trying to figure out where to watch the movie but have not been successful. I guess the output of the light novels must be pretty slow? And it makes sense now that the last episodes of both seasons were actually OVAs. Although I'm not sure where the first OVA could fit even if it was moved in the timeline, since it seems to serve as an alternate introduction to Yunyun. Kazuma's VA sounded very familiar, but when I looked him up, he doesn't have very many roles and isn't in anything else I watched, at least not as a major character. Still, Arnie Pantoja's voice, or at least his performance as Kazuma, reminds me of somebody, but I can't think of who. Also kind of odd that Christina Vee (Darkness) didn't play nearly as many characters I was familiar with as I thought. Faye Mata as Aqua also sounded familiar, but looking at her work, the only other character she played that I knew was Yukako from JoJo (crazy stalker girl,) and I don't think she used a similar voice for that character. I guess there must just be different archetypal voices for certain types characters, like high pitched whiny bitchy girl and constantly exasperated guy.

Ok. I don't remember that happening but that doesn't mean much haha. If it's just as well, I'll wait to read that explanation until we see some more episodes and see what gets explained there.

Was that said in the show yet, though?

NOOOOOOOOOO THE VOICE ACTING ISN'T BAD! But Ryo still sounds pretty monotone lmao. And hey, this trailer dropped and the One Piece announcement both happened on my birthday! That's pretty cool!

What show are you... Oh!

When was this?! This must be from a filler episode or movie or OVA or something, because I would've remembered something like this!

I thought we were supposed to get a new premiere every week of this month? Now it's maybe? Eh, I should have known. What happened to their relationship with Funimation?! They used to be their best partner! Really? I remember people were requesting Fairy Tail like crazy and they would never pick it up. I recall at one point Demarco saying he never even saw it before. So it really didn't seem like something that was on their radar, regardless of fan requests. But NOW they want it? They should have struck while the iron was hot! It's a little late at this point to be going for Fairy Tail. But I guess at least my request would finally be granted. Lucy and Nami don't even look alike! Besides, One Piece is difficult to fap to, due to the wonky art style. Fairy Tail has more realistic body proportions. Here is some fan art I found of Nami. Too bad Nami doesn't look like that!

Wow, I would never have expected One Piece to come back. Toonami must be really desperate to bring One Piece back, since it was removed due to bad ratings. I wonder if it's just a placeholder for something else. At least I watched to 511 after it got canceled, so I don't have to much to watch to catch up. But that was still years ago. Some flashbacks and recaps will be welcome for once.

I think he is just meant to be a monotone no-nonsense kind of guy.

Too good for Toonami?! Are you serious?! The cgi in that show is whack, man! There's videogames that look better!

I don't recall. But I wouldn't be surprised if Demarco contradicted himself.

But she is supposed to have She-Hulk strength. Though the fighting in this show isn't just about brute strength. Maybe Sakura will do something in this battle, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

LOL Sakura. I thought for sure she would just sit in the back.

Sasuke wants to become Hokage LMAO.

SASUKE!

I'll deal with you later. Madara gets disappointed LOL.

Why not send the blast to the Ten Tails? Would it blow them up too?

I wish another design cue was used for the reanimated characters than those eyes. Makes them look creepy.

He must have moved the chakra bomb away with transportation jutsu.

Naruto isn't surprised to see his dad?!

Those that don't cherish their comrades' memories are even worse scum than that. LOL.
