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

I thought what was said was Toonami couldn't have come back without Bleach, because if not for Bleach, Adult Swim Action would have already been canceled well before Toonami could have come back. And of course it Bleach helped modern Toonami immensely in its early days.

I have been watching both seasons since they came out in Japan. Didn't want to wait haha. Some episodes I have seen like three times. Of course that's still nothing compared to the original series! And yeah many considered the last episode (the one that came out on Christmas) to be the best episode yet. Yeah there's not really anything I keep tabs on like that on Funimation so I have no idea.

Watching the credits does no good since they're just the Japanese credits. But wow, you were right. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=131942 I was thinking it was Rock Lee's VA haha.

This history more interesting than what's currently going on haha.

lmao he was actually going to do it. What a moron.

No just let him kill him!

I'll tell you why. He's dead because you bastards killed him!

Again how the hell is that a visual jutsu?!

Or Tatsu.

Uchihas defected? That's surprising.

That's what you get for talking shit about non-Sharingan users haha.

Madara's brother looks like Sasuke haha.

Lazy time skip is lazy.
