So are Demarco's days numbered? And what is the difference between HBO Now and HBO Max?

But Moribito was a good show, and I'm glad they aired it. Code Geass though is quite possibly one of the worst animes of all times. There was also the feeling ASA got Kekkaishi over Soul Eater, though we'll never really know. I liked that show too and was glad it aired, the story only got even better as it progressed in the manga. But yeah Toonami got Gurren and Soul Eater FAST lol.

But that show is fucking terrible, and the would-be anime block it was on got canned after just 3 weeks!

Also Chris Niosi, the voice actor for Reigen, had a scandal and Nintendo went so far as to have someone redo his lines in a Fire Emblem game. Is Demarco not concerned with the PR issues? Reigen will probably be recast for season 2.

Don't tell that to some people around here that think Demarco is irreplaceable.

Wow, well I was hoping they wouldn't have to resort to another rerun. This is unfortunate. Even then, Paranoia Agent is very old and many of us haven't watched it in years, and it never played on Toonami. Some of us I'm sure have never seen it. But we saw Mob not that long ago. Not sure if I want to watch it again so soon. But, it will probably be more trouble to not watch it since it comes on in between other shows. I didn't like that in that announcement, there is no semblance of an explanation or disclaimer, and not anything about something we can hope for in the future. Just what shows did they acquire that they weren't able to air? Just about everything should be dubbed already, so I don't get it. I would have rather them get a show from a few years ago they never aired, or something even older they never aired, than just run something they showed before. And remember how Demarco always used to say getting a rerun is no cheaper than getting a new show, citing that as the reason Toonami couldn't maintain a library like ASA did and simultaneously be bringing in so many new shows? It would be one thing if he resorted to airing shows they permanently own the rights to, but they had to go and get new deals for Paranoia Agent and Mob. So unless that was yet another case of Demarco bullshitting, I call shenanigans. Going by what Demarco said back then, this should not be saving them any money. So if it is just a buy for time, why not get us something that is new, at least to the network? Oh yeah and remember Demarco recently talking about the next big picks we would all be pumped about?

What is going on with the sameface in this arc?

Well, that sucks. Obviously whereever a dub is will be moot if there's no further episodes to dub. Hopefully its not on hiatus for too long. But that Twitter account looks like it's the official Jump account, when it's clearly just a fan account. Deceptive. Why has Twitter not banned the account?

SAO was delayed until July, not "indefinitely." When I tried to look up Fire Force, a bunch of garbage websites came up that I've never heard of. ANN doesn't say anything about it. Not sure why. The same crap websites came up for Dr. Stone. Both shows were supposed to come out in July, from what I can tell. I guess no delays have been announced yet because they haven't gotten close enough to air. So yeah, please don't add to the misinformation. But I did find a couple pages that might be helpful that we should probably bookmark. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-04-21/list-of-anime-and-manga-affected-by-covid-19/.158799 https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/04/20-1/heres-a-list-of-all-the-anime-impacted-by-covid-19

Being realistic and you expect Bebop to be put on first as opposed to the end? Well, looks like Funimation may be able to keep up dubbing it after all. Oh look, I found a video someone made of you. Wow, the thing he said about Saturday night was scarily fitting!

Well Demarco did claim that Toonami was doing great before the block got cut in half and had movies banned after that disastrous month of movies and the horrible idea to open the block with Attack on Titan reruns.

I don't see what was so bad about the dub here.

DeMarco said he tried to get Yuri on Ice but couldn't.

So that's what Bardock is named after! I should have figured he was named after a vegetable too!

Oh I see. Still, what you described about the origin of that Mordred character sounds extremely demented. Granted, Mordred was already a product of incest in the original story (which is why he was a cursed/evil child,) but still.

God damn, you're getting more and more annoying, you know that?

That was much deadlier and healthcare has advanced a lot since then.

You never explained why this is the perfect show to air during a pandemic. Fucking hell don't replace Demon Slayer with Food Wars. We need something good! I don't think DeMarco could get the deal done that fast anyway. Food Wars doesn't fit because it's not action and about food and slice of life. But DeMarco had stated some time ago they would be expanding to non-action shows for Toonami and started with Pop Team Epic. Obviously Food Wars would be another case. I'm not sure why you say Promised Neverland and Megalobox don't fit. Promised Neverland I guess is more psychological thriller than action, but even as hardcore as it gets, the manga is in Shonen Jump of all places! I suppose the kids can't really fight the adults or demons, but it does have similarities to AoT and I think it fits in just fine. Even if it isn't considered an action show Toonami isn't bound by that anymore anyway. Megalobox I guess has kind of an ASA feel but it is fine for the block. Good to have a more offbeat, different, more mature show now and then. If it's a stopgap for that and they really want Food Wars back so badly then this show would have been put on regardless. But then that begs the question of why didn't DeMarco have the deal ready ahead of time? They knew this entire time these episodes eventually would run out and they would have to negotiate a new deal. JoJo should have all its episodes dubbed right? Man I hope Black Clover doesn't go on hiatus. That would suck! Tokyo Ghoul?! BAD OWL! And a hidden gem, really? But yes, there were quite a few good shows that got passed over in recent years they could air, if they can afford them.

I never knew the show tanked back then. Then again I never paid attention to ratings either. I still don't know why people care so much about ratings. As long as the ratings for the thing I like are good enough for it not to be canceled, that's all that concerns me. I don't recall anyone being angry over this show when it aired either and remember it being well-received.

I know DeMarco probably sleeps with the master tapes of Cowboy Bebop on his night stand but why the hell do you think he would do that?

Why do you have a self-imposed rule for not discussing shows that already aired?

Well it is a lot shorter now.

I hope this is explained lol.

The Nine Tails separated from Naruto?! And Kabuto trying to control it? Good luck with that!
