CountFryFuck who likes to dip his dick in lard and shove it between the fat folds of 600 Pound Lifers.

It may as well be a rerun. Shippuden went off on and on the air and switched networks, fell far behind, eventually finally finished. The episodes on Toonami now may as well be reruns, since they are so old, for a long-finished series, and already widely-available and widely-watched elsewhere.

KIRITO WILL RETURN

Beggars are free to go beg on another street corner, however.

I saw that Fire Force was coming October 24th, which is great! But I didn't know season 1 reruns were replacing Mob! Fucking hell! Why the hell didn't you get season 2 of Mob! DAMN IT, Demarco! !

Oh well thanks now I really know not to watch it lmao. Those fucking three characters lmao. I thought maybe after they had their big arc, the show would be done with them and get back to the other characters and plots. This is why I thought maybe season 2 might not be so bad, but I have not rushed to watch it at the least and wouldn't be a top priority for me to watch regardless. Now I will probably just avoid it entirely. To me, the show came off as having a rotating or shifting cast. I hoped it was done with the three kids, but apparently not! And it's not good that they are back in the focus and the story is even worse, or that other parts are boring! I had no idea the first season didn't follow the light novels as closely as the second. Then the second season doesn't try to tie in to that at all. Yeah, that would create problems lmao. But I mean, there is technically a threat of this happening if Demarco follows up on my suggestion of getting already-dubbed shows from the past few years that Toonami didn't air. (Potentially and hopefully they have already been trying to get such shows (just not this one!) and simply couldn't get the deals done yet, or my confidence and belief in them will have fallen even lower.)

Yeah I didn't think any of that stuff would be that long. They are still going to have to get some other new shows. Yeah I would prefer shonens and popular, potentially formulaic shows over nothing, but Demarco can't even do that anymore! And it can't all be blamed on covid since shows were ending without replacements since well before then, then Demarco rolled out his "well we always preferred a shorter block anyways!" excuse again. Yeah, because things being downsized and taken away is always something people love, right? And it's always a good sign. Now covid hits and it's even worse. This pandemic is a proving time for everyone. And Demarco is proving more than ever that he can't cut the mustard anymore. I don't think Bebop and Fooly Cooly airings will happen just yet, but things are still looking dire. JoJo coming back and the Fire Force announcement are great news, but I hope there is more than that. There's also the factor of people having lowered their expectations so much, it makes them accept more bad news and crap more easily, and get really happy about the good news. I am really happy about both shows coming back, but there has to be more than that. I also really don't want Black Clover to go on hiatus, since it is one of my favorite shows and one of the shows I look forward to the most each week. It's also been a constant and stalwart on the block for so long. It's going to feel even worse if even Black Clover, after airing nonstop for all this time, can't survive without a hiatus. I also don't want Demarco to use it as an excuse to get rid of it and not bring it back. Though I sure as hell won't stop watching it if that ends up being the case.

I think you have to be on speed or meth to enjoy Ballmastrz. It's way, way too fast and frenetic, and totally nonsensical on top of that. Other Adult Swim shows were dumb or nonsensical, but they didn't go a mile a minute. You had time to appreciate and understand the stupid and funny. Also this show and the characters can be annoying as fuck, and the hyperactivity of it doesn't help that. So really all those anime references don't mean that much to me, given all that. Most of the time I find myself just looking at the forums or doing something else and the show is lucky it stays on as background noise.

It's pretty telling that if Demarco (or anyone for that matter,) can't be relied on now, when can he be? If he doesn't get his shit together soon, it's not going to inspire confidence in his bosses. I hate to lose Toonami, Tom, Sara, etc, but if Crunchyroll can put together a better block... Also, Toonami could still continue under Crunchyroll leadership and co-branding, with Demarco and co.'s influence and power diminished, if not outright symbolic (think Gene Roddenberry "executive consultant",) or kicked out entirely, and I don't think anyone would be crying too much about it.

Gross, dude.

Yup that tweet and what you guys said sums up Demarco to a tee LMAO. And that is STILL his pinned tweet! I have been pointing and laughing at it for ages.

Yes, and it was ASA that aired Durarara ages ago. The second season didn't come out til years later, at which point Toonami had taken ASA's place. So it would take Demarco and co. actually watching and having to like Durarara (god forbid it be something JUST the viewers like) and then actually go through the effort of acquiring it. And I don't for a minute believe they put equal effort into everything they pick up. Look at the ridiculous lengths they went to get Gundam back. There's no way they made that sort of effort for the various shows Demarco claims he "tried but couldn't get," like the various isekais he claims he tried to get, or Yuri on Ice. The man is the ultimate bullshitter and will say anything he thinks will please people, or piss them off the least. And have you noticed, any time something goes wrong, it's never his fault or decision or department, or anything Toonami could do? But he will gladly take the praise for anything that goes right. Somehow the man simultaneously has all of the power and none of it. Because he is full of shit. Still though, Demarco may have felt obligated to run season 1 before he ran season 2, since it was so long ago, which Demarco may not have been able or wanted to do. Even then, maybe season 1 didn't do well? I don't know. I personally didn't like how the plot diverged from the genuinely interesting story and characters in the beginning to these three other characters, who then proceed to have a misunderstanding-fueled feud, one of my most hated pet peeves in storytelling. Then at the last second the show introduces two obnoxious incestuous twin sisters. It didn't seem like the show was going to get better again after that. So I really wasn't all that interested when season 2 came out, and I was glad Demarco didn't get a show that time. Though I would have watched it if he did, for ASA/Toonami completionism, and discussion. I have to really, REALLY not like a show that ASA, Toonami, in past years, sometimes other blocks, airs, to drop it. Yeah, but he was back here way before the covid stuff happened.

Oh, that's right. I remember watching it I think on Hulu on my ancient fat PC monitor back then, if I recall correctly. With the Pulp Fiction-style storytelling I can't imagine how it would do on ASA or Toonami or the like. Toonami aired Black Lagoon, not ASA, but it has nothing to do with Baccano, so not sure why you brought it up. Durarara is by the same author as Baccano, which is possibly part of why I watched it, and possibly the story, concept, and setting interested me. I did end up liking it a lot more than Durarara. I liked Durarara at first but then it diverged into a side plot focusing on three other characters who then proceed to have a misunderstanding-fueled feud, which is something that always annoys the fuck out of me. And it didn't help that the show completely diverted from the story and characters I was more interested in. Oh I see. I wonder how it was received in Japan. It had to have done well to get another season. Re:Zero got dubbed, but didn't it take forever? And it's free? Also isn't Crunchyroll mostly a subs thing? Oh ok. Well I still haven't liked basically any harem I've watched though. I don't care for the whole concept or setup at all. I couldn't stand ANY of the Tenchi series. And usually when I find out a show is a harem I don't watch it. Ok. Yeah but you were back on here way before the covid shit started. Ain't that the damn truth. But I have my hands in so many interests, hobbies, shows, etc, I don't often get around to watching a lot of anime separate from Toonami, though I probably should. Since I have been watching ASA and Toonami and coming to the boards for years, it is ingrained and isn't anything I would stop doing and I do my best to never miss when the block airs live. It also doesn't help that if I watch other shows, I won't really have anyone to discuss them with. They have that "what are you watching" thread in Anime & Manga section, but people only ever seem to use it as like a shared log of what they are watching and no one really discusses anything. I honestly don't see the point of the thread. Social Media isn't really ideal for discussing shows. Facebook is the epitome of impermanence and not really conducive to discussion like forums are, where you can go back to things later on. Twitter's layout and setup has always been ass for actually keeping track of and following discussion and posts. Reddit's layout has always been ass. A comment section with nothing above it, basically, no avatars and the setup, layout, and interface is not good there, either. I don't know why they made the site in the asinine way they did. And of course, social media will be rife with assholes (especially Twitter,) and people latching onto anime and discussions for ulterior purposes (swats away alt-right and anti-sjw jackasses,) and spoilers, as people have little to no sense of spoiler marking there, and some people seem to even revel in spoiling people. Of course, other actual forums will be more geared to sub airing discussion so spoilers will not be marked there regardless, either (except maybe from the manga and light novel if the anime is an adaptation.) So basically what I have to do, is watch a whole show (if it's done airing), avoid looking on the internet in the process, except maybe to visit the ANN and MAL listings (and sometimes I am hesitant to even look at their synopses, which can be spoily), and find a place to watch it, watch the whole show, then post about it somewhere here, if at all. The experience of watching live on TV (only on Toonami at this point,) and discussing the shows on a forum with a simple, organized, straightforward layout, mostly free of assholes and spoilers, simply can't be replicated elsewhere. Which is why the block and this forum is so cherished by me. Of course, even as much as I enjoy the experience of watching Toonami and discussing it here, I Iong ago learned the lesson to not "save" any show for Toonami, no matter how "inevitable" it may seem. I did that with Fairy Tail and ended up regretting it immensely. That jackass Demarco had said he never even watched it before, when people had been requesting it in droves for years up until then. I didn't end up liking it as much as the Rave Master anime and manga, which is why I was initially interested in Fairy Tail, but still enjoyed it quite a bit, and wished I had just watched it as soon as I could. For the past several years now, if I am really interested in a completed show, I will go and watch it. If there is a show or season coming up that I really want to watch, I will watch it ASAP, if it's something I'm really into and I don't mind watching the sub for it. This is especially the case for new seasons and sequels of things I am already a fan of. I didn't wait for Demarco for anything past season 1 of SAO (and he never did air GGO,) I'm not going to wait for Demarco for Bleach, and I won't for InuYasha, either. And funny thing is, JoJo and SAO were highly recommended to me by one of my best friends. In both cases I was about to start watching them and then suddenly Toonami got them. Recently, I watched Riding Bean and Gunsmith Cats in place of that last marathon. Been wanting to watch them for years and finally sat down and said fuck it and watched them. They were both great and I was sad to learn that Gunsmith Cats was just three episodes. They sure put in a lot of effort and spared no expense though. I saw the lengths they went to on that making of documentary and I could tell from watching it. It was very impressive.

If it's the thread I am thinking of it is not nearly as detailed or as informative as the post you just made, so thanks. Is Funimation dubbing Black Clover off and on because they can't dub all the shows at their usual rate at the same time? If they are swapping between what they are dubbing, they should just drop the lowest priority shows for now and only concentrate on the highest priority, most in-demand, popular shows. Unless they are still trying to dub everything they can, and aren't swapping between shows, and the current work restrictions are what is stopping them from releasing faster. But I'm not really sure how they are doing things right now. As I said, I feel like they should concentrate on a core of their most popular shows (and what people are also mainly subscribing to them for,) and not try to dub EVERYTHING right now. If they are already doing that and still being hampered, then I don't know what else can be done to streamline things. I would hope they would be more consistent as things move forward and they settle into their new dubbing system, but on the other hand, virus spread and infection rate is just getting worse, even if progress on treatments and vaccines is happening. It mostly has to do with people being stubborn and ignorant and doing what they're supposed to do. I agree with my therapist, their behavior has been embarrassing for this country. Like, I thought I had seen the dumbest people could get, but with covid I see some people were even dumber than I thought. If they were only getting Darwin Awards it would be fine. But the problem is, they are endangering others and just making the situation worse for everyone. I'm out of the last of my patience with conspiracytards too. That shit is NOT helping right now. This is a matter of life and death, the health of the people and the health of the economy. We don't need all this misinformation and "HURR DID YOU ABOUT REALLY HAPPENED!!!! HURRR" Fucking idiots. Oh ok. And I think they are on like 136 or something now? A few months without Black Clover would be sad indeed since it is one of my favorite shows and one I look forward to the most every week. It also been a stalwart for ages on the block. But it would be better than having a lot of starts and stops like what happened with My Hero Academia. Same as what I said about JoJo, which I hope they just went ahead and dubbed the rest of it, or took a well long enough break to have the rest of the show dubbed before the remaining episodes need to air, that they have a long enough buffer. It may be possible that rerunning JoJo episodes was not in the contract or not possible for some other reason, but I would like to think and hope that they dont want a repeat of what happened with MHA with any other show. What are they rerunning? Fire Force? I haven't seen that. Was that part of the announcement for Fire Force's Season 2 premiere? I haven't checked the thread for that yet. Yeah marathons will be a boon now, as it turns the many past ones were that gradually delayed Black Clover's Toonami premieres behind the Japanese and Funimation Now's dub premieres. I am surprised at Demarco's restraint in using them during this, actually. I was really tired when I watched that panel, but I could have sworn he was talking about War of Underworld Part 2 dub specifically. I don't know why he would mean the dub of the first Alicization Arc. They even had Alice and Kirito's English VAs send in videos, and Bryce remarked on looking forward to hopefully having more dialogue in the new episodes, and they joked about how he had more lines in the game than the anime recently. Plus the whole panel was mostly about the new cour, with a few promotions for other things sprinkled in. You are saying they are embracing it and doing better with it more than Funimation is? Or just that they are? Either way, SAO dubs were always put out quickly in the past, I don't see it being much different now. I do hope it will still be in August, but I suppose we will find out soon enough, whether it comes in the form of an another announcement, or month comes and goes and the dub simply airs or it doesn't. But man, with all the show delays and hiatuses, shows ending and not being replaced, time slots dropped, even pre-covid, waiting until October for another new show will be quite a drought. I hope we get SAO before then, and not even just because I am a fan of it in particular. I hope there are other shows coming too.

I was in a conversation in another thread, and I just saw that more has been released. Some of it just today. Final character designs for the characters and some weapon reveals. I'm kind of surprised that no one else bumped this. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/yashahime-princess-half-demon-inuyasha-sequel-kagome-daughter-moroha-character-design/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-yashahime-new-sword-anime/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-final-designs-sesshomaru-daughters/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-sesshomaru-daughters-towa-setsuna-weapons-yashahime-princess-half-demon/ I am surprised that Moroha doesn't have silver hair. Her hair and eye color are just like Kagome's. But facially and hair style she looks like Inuyasha. And the hairbow, alluding to Inuyasha's ears, is a nice touch. She's also wearing what I think is the fire rat robe. But it turns out her sword isn't Tessaiga. It's called Kurikamaru. I was reading a reply under the announcement tweet that mentioned the name could have something to do with dragons, and I see there is a dragon design on the blade. Hmm. Not sure what their red streaks in their hair are all about. On Towa with her silver hair it makes me think she could be yet another sibling of Todoroki haha. Towa's sword is called Kikujiyuumonji. Rolls right off the tongue... Setsuna's spear/halberd thing is called Kanemitsu no Tomoe.

Hmm, her hair is too long, blue, and Rukia doesn't have the two long pieces coming down on the sides. And this girl has small eyes. I don't remember that girl being like Orihime, but it has been a while. True enough Orihime is not a unique character type haha. I do remember one of her friends being fat and thinking this is one of the few animes to acknowledge that fat girls exist. Wow, you are right. I knew none of them had dog ears, but they don't even have the elven demon ears. They look just like human ears. So they could blend in to modern society really easily. Of course, they could hide the elf ears under their hair or hats, but dog ears wouldn't be so easy to hide. For Moroha I could see, she is only one quarter demon, but Sesshomaru's girls being half-demons, seems odd to me. And now I see that more has been released. Some of it just today. Final character designs for the characters and some weapon reveals. So I need to bump the thread about the InuYasha sequel show. https://comicbook.com/anime/news/yashahime-princess-half-demon-inuyasha-sequel-kagome-daughter-moroha-character-design/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-yashahime-new-sword-anime/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-final-designs-sesshomaru-daughters/ https://comicbook.com/anime/news/inuyasha-sequel-sesshomaru-daughters-towa-setsuna-weapons-yashahime-princess-half-demon/ I am surprised that Moroha doesn't have silver hair. Her hair and eye color are just like Kagome's. But facially and hair style she looks like Inuyasha. And the hairbow, alluding to Inuyasha's ears, is a nice touch. She's also wearing what I think is the fire rat robe. But it turns out her sword isn't Tessaiga. It's called Kurikamaru.

Rolls right off the tongue... Setsuna's spear/halberd thing is called Kanemitsu no Tomoe. And yes, it would make sense for many of the long-lived demons to still be around, but also for them still to be around in general. Even if they are reduced in numbers and maybe gone more into hiding, and at this point pure myth and legend to most people, there should still be some demons around. Yeah we had the Noh Mask, and the ghost piper. Yura's hair was also able to travel through the well. There were those dried demons but I don't know if that was filler or not.

I mentioned that I doubted Tanya the Evil could be more offensive than stuff that was shown in the likes of SAO, JoJo, Hellsing, Black Lagoon, Deadman Wonderland, Tokyo Ghoul, or Akame ga Kill. But a lot of that stuff was a while ago. Though actual Adult Swim and Toonami viewers have never really been overly offended by stuff that didn't justify it. I would say the SAO rapisodes are justifiable to offended with, and had enough backlash to get the author to stop using rape in the stories. Not sure how the Tanya show would go over, as yeah, some of those other potentially offensive moments (some including Nazis) were a good while ago. But I don't know if the show is even on Demarco's radar. And have people requested for it to air? I highly doubt that would ever happen.

Wtf was that you linked to?

Are you blind, illiterate, or do you just ignore things that would stop you from bitching more? It was announced on that Aniplex panel for SAO that the dub is coming in August. Did Funimation stop putting out dubbed Black Clover episodes? I know there was a delay in producing the actual episodes in Japan, but that's over now. But I'm not sure how it overlapped with Funimation's dubbing schedule. I'm sure it is one of their top priorities though. https://www.bubbleblabber.com/funimation-announces-additional-dubs-from-home-featuring-my-hero-academia-black-clover-and-more/ What do you know, they are putting up another episode tomorrow...

wtflmao How long has that been there?

So, JoJo is FINALLY back. Maybe there was a method to Demarco's madness after all. I hope we can just get through all the rest of the episodes now. Better to have one long break and get it over with, than a bunch of little breaks. But maybe they weren't actually able to rerun JoJo episodes. But Ballzmastrz is still here. I hope that is just a placeholder and Demarco isn't just going to play the whole damn thing. But Al told me Ballzmastrz only has 3 weeks left and that's it. So hopefully something is coming soon to replace it.

YES!! Why did the show do this?!

These ANN reviewers are spotty as hell.

Wow lmao. Someone this clueless about Adult Swim after all this time?! Well, it's a good thing her little crusade apparently went nowhere lmao. It's kind of hard to get to get such "depraved" content taken off the air when the "sickos" are the ones in charge lmao.

I suppose you did do a good job editing, then. And good, now I don't have to reverse image search to find the original versions lmao.
