What the heck is this machine?

You're annoying. Maybe that's why he stopped talking to you haha.

The boyfriend is probably the son of the company owner, right?

Damn kissed and still killed her. She could hear what?

"Do it or I'll do it for you." Damn it Marlowe.

This guy doesn't look much different haha.

I don't even remember from the original film. Why do the replicants have to be killed?

NOOOOOO DON'T KILL THE HOT SINGER!

The singer of the OP is a character in the show now?

How does this guy have any liver left?!

I've learned by now not to take Demarco's word as gospel.

So yeah I was thinking when I saw the art style... ehhhh... But like I said in the announcement thread, you can't just go off of that it seems haha. That promo was fine but vague. I wouldn't want to know too much anyway. I'm trying to remember if the Promised Neverland promo was this vague.

I have heard of this show but apparently never saw what it looked like. I'm not big on that art style, but the show was made by Kinema Citrus, the same studio that made the Village Bride short for Star Wars Visions, which was pretty good, so maybe this will be good. I seem to recall people suggesting this as something to watch from the studio when Visions came out. This is the second thing Toonami has aired by a Visions studio, the first being Batman Ninja. I wonder if that is intentional by Demarco. I was saying, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one, why doesn't Toonami get an older show they never aired, if some of the new hot shows are too hard to get. And here we go. I wonder if Toonami got this because they couldn't get another show that they had their heart set on. Either way, I don't think any fans expected this! So apparently this is a show that you can't judge the book by the cover haha. What the fuck? Yeah definitely seems like this show is not what you would think going off face value haha.

Good to know Demarco is so lackadaisical about how shows are presented on his block. Not that this particular case matters that much, but it's the principle of the thing.

Thanks haha. Expand, you mean write something? I don't know if I have the writing chops for that, haha. Interesting, so maybe Aozei really could be a Japanese name haha.

I had this crazy dream last night about this anime that Toonami got, and wrote this all down when I woke up, before I forgot too much. It's about two scientists that fight in the real world to free users hypnotized and trapped by an online device. So I guess it's kind of like a backwards SAO. But I can't remember what the virtual world was like, but I guess it must have really enraptured the users, for them not to want to leave. One of the scientists is short and overweight, the other is tall and handsome. I want to say he looked like Doctor Tenma from Monster or J from Blade Runner: Black Lotus (they look like kind of similar now that I think about it.) This is Aozei-san (I don't even know if that's a valid Japanese name), who is introduced to this whole situation by the fat scientist (don't recall his name being given.) They gain superhuman powers by having tested the device. Like superhuman strength and speed, and being able to teleport. The fat scientist uses superhuman strength to throw Aozei-san, and Aozei-san instinctively teleports a short distance to safety avoid the impact. He's like wtf, and the fat scientist goes onto explain the situation. You can totally see this as an "introduction to the world/special abilities" scene in an anime, right? And I guess this is the reason for the title, Aozei-san being thrust into all this. But I don't think welcome or go could be possible alternate translations from the Japanese title of the show, nor are they quite synonyms in English. But, I can definitely see this as one of those innocuous sounding anime titles that is actually about something crazy. But the two scientists are opposed by evil bounty hunters hired by the company that created the device, who want to keep the users trapped, because reasons. I guess it makes the company money or something. For whatever reason, the bounty hunters dress like ancient samurai or ninja (the samurai that wore armor.) The scientists just wore white lab coats. I don't remember if the bounty hunters had special powers. Maybe the idea was that the scientists needed the powers to fight these highly trained and experienced warriors, to even the playing field. The company bosses maybe didn't even know that their device could give people super powers. The corruption of the evil tech company even goes so high that a "Premier Miemar" (I know THIS isn't a valid Japanese, doesn't even sound Japanese,) is shown giving orders to the bounty hunters in one scene. Premier is like a president or prime minister, right? But I'm pretty sure Japan doesn't have this position. I'm not sure the reason for the scientists' involvement. I don't think they worked for the company, but that would make sense. Maybe they were part of a government safety review board or something. I think they didn't get trapped because the device hadn't fully launched yet. The first episode focused on the scientists and the second episode focused on the bounty hunters. I remember the bounty hunters had a competition amongst themselves of how many fights each of them had won, though I'm not really sure who they would've been fighting. I knew something was off, because when I turned on the TV in the hotel room (no idea why I was in a hotel, and I almost never stay in hotels,) it was before Toonami's usual start time, and I didn't remember leaving the channel tuned to Cartoon Network previously. I sometimes will change the channel on my DVR to what I am going to watch later, so in case I need to, I can rewind on my DVR, and I usually do this without turning on my TV. Then before show time I'll turn on the TV early, usually muted, before the show I want to watch comes on. If I'm late, or have to step away, I can rewind, since I already had it on the channel. So, not only did Toonami air two episodes of this anime to premiere it, they expanded earlier by an hour! That's a big turnaround compared to the situation of the past few months! So, I guess I've been so starved of new content on Toonami, that my mind invented one for me to watch, hahaha. I'm kind of sad that I woke up when I did and couldn't keep watching the show. But hey, Toonami really DID announce a new show for this weekend, just like Demarco promised! I am not big on the art style for this Made in Abyss show, going off the screenshots I have seen, but it is made by Kinema Citrus, who made the Village Bride short for Star Wars Visions, so maybe it will be good.

And here I thought it was just Demarco writing something stupid again! GOD DAMN IT!

Is this actually a prevalent complaint? And if so, did these noobs really not figure out a way to watch the Demon Slayer dub even without cable?

Pretty dull slow burn. TV Tropes is covering up a show??

I'll believe it when I see it.

Well, wrestling and Shonen anime are both male soap operas. But it still makes little sense to put wrestling on Toonami, even with the similarities and fan overlap.

I'm dreading the Food Wars announcement. I'm kind of surprised Toonami didn't just continue it through to the next season.

I don't think it's that they couldn't get season 2, more that they didn't want to. Didn't Toonami announce they were "taking a break" from Assassination Classroom or something when season 1 ended? Other shows were prioritized. But now that they're desperate they are finally bringing it back.

You're right. I was going to say they really don't need to use that disclaimer anymore at this point, but this show was dubbed even before that point! Hahaha
