Well, that sucks. But, any idea if this is something that was going to happen regardless, or is happening due to coronavirus? Either way, can't really complain too much, given the circumstances. Of course, that won't stop some people. And yeah, budgets and show picks and whatnot were probably made well ahead of time. So the only issue should be with airing anything that isn't fully dubbed. My Hero Academia is an issue because of how close the airing is to the dub. That shouldn't be a problem with most shows. Huh, I had no idea that older shows would be more expensive than hot new shows. It seems counter-intuitive. Old shows, even ones popular in their time that might still have a following, aren't going to have to the same kind of demand as a new show people want to watch right this instant. There's also the unfortunate issue of people not even wanting to look at classics or give them a chance. Because they're "too old" "before my time" "aged poorly" etc etc. It's like how people who won't even watch black and white movies just because they're black and white, when those are some of the best movies we have! So yeah maybe don't charge so much for something like Ranma and you might actually have some people stumble upon it and significantly increase its fanbase. At the same time, I can see companies charging out the ass for a show because they know a network will want to have this hot new show that will likely get them lots of viewers. So... that just... sounds odd... to me. But, whatever the reason, if old shows can't be afforded, then I suppose it can't be helped. That means any older show they might get to fill the gap would have to be more obscure. That would still be better than reruns or lost time slots, but again, if they can't manage it, it's understandable. My thinking would be that their budget was already committed to what they were going to get anyway. If any of those shows had dubs that got delayed, then they're fucked. The shows that were done they will be fine. I do feel like a dub could still be done safely. You've got one person in a booth, and maybe a few other people in another room or rooms. It's not like there is a huge crew crowded together to do this, as far as I'm aware. Of course those people would still be going back to family, some of whom might be at high risk, if those employees aren't themselves, even if they are interacting with a handful of people, and mostly at a distance. I'm unsure if the other studios will be able to swing that setup Funimation had for doing that MHA episode. I suppose we just have to wait and see. I'm glad to hear Demarco has a new show coming, though. I suppose it's the replacement for Demon Slayer?

Wow, that is quite an impressive set up they've got there! Well done! I had no idea Luci Christian was that old, though.

I was trying to find out the status of any of the shows but it looks like there are no updates yet. When I googled "Toonami news," "Is Toonami cancelled?" is the top suggestion for people also searched for.

But if Asuna was able to use that power endlessly there would be no challenge in defeating Gabriel. It's a literally a god power that lets her reshape the landscape (and heal her severed arm apparently.)

It was in the related videos, heh. Well, she did the fighting demon version too, with a few minor alterations.

@DangerMouse That girl you posted in the MHA thread also did a pretty nice Nezuko cosplay. No idea why she keeps making the bedroom eyes, though! Well, I guess that is supposed to be Nezuko's scared/shy expression lol.

Well he had a scene all to himself where he vowed to defeat Kibutsugi. No reason for him to put on an act for himself, so I don't think this is another Vangeance/Patry situation. There is definitely something weird about him and those twins though.

Link didn't embed. D: But I fixed it. Good cosplay! I still think Mina has a quasi-cute-creepy look. She would look fine if it weren't for her eyes being black where they should be white. But I have been getting used to and warming up to her look after a while. But then I see cosplays and it brings it right back!

YOU BASTARD!

I detailed it in this thread. The compositing director, an integral position, was having issues with depression. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-04-03/sword-art-online-alicization-war-of-underworld-anime-2nd-part-english-subtitled-trailer-streamed/.158280 Yup the last cour is still coming out later this month, just as they initially announced when the delay was announced. So I guess production mostly wrapped before coronavirus hit Japan. I have no idea what will happen with the dub or Toonami's airing, though.

Well at least Naruto isn't an asexual protagonist. He's still an idiot though.

It's so weird that they used a canon villain in this filler.

Looks like 54 yards. But by the time it gets to kilometer vs mile and kph vs mph the difference gets way larger. Anyway, that's a 164 feet! I'm not even that good with yards. That sounds like a lot! Now there is no way she survived a 164 foot fall!

Scars from a fall and not an epic ninja battle? Hated exercise so his arms were weak LOL. Could you really be THAT weak though? And what about adrenaline in times of crisis we always hear about? Like people moving cars off of people?

50 meters... sorry I don't speak your language.

Were they remarking on Naruto's penis size?

I don't get the idea of pricing it so high. They would have more sales from selling more copies at a lower price than a few copies at a high price. I guess Aniplex must be using the Japanese pricing model for their releases. Hmm from what I understand original creators would get royalties from those sales. And the Japanese companies did try to combat piracy in the past with that website and initiative they started a few years ago. Can't remember what it was called or if it's still going. Oda told people to read another manga if they wanted romance stories and I don't recall him getting any flak for that. It made me think of how extremely nice and diplomatic Yuji Naka and some of the Sega guys were about criticizing the original Sonic design for the movie. https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2018/12/13/the-original-creators-behind-sonic-the-hedgehog-react-to-the-new-live-action-movie-reveal/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2019/11/13/yuji-naka-gives-his-take-on-the-new-sonic-the-hedgehog-movie-redesign/ That said, according to people following the current SAO arc in the novels - So it seems he meant what he said. Anyway I think the way the women have been dealt with isn't nearly as bad as some have said. But more screen time and adventures won't hurt.

Well if they have to fight Fugo in the future, that power of his is going to be trouble to deal with.

Lol so now all of a sudden the boss will call in allies. But he didn't do it to help Bucaratti and co. when they were protecting Trish.

So they all went except Naranja and Fugo. I really thought they all would go along. LOL here comes Naranja swimming after them.

Wow they won't join him, really?

Why did he have to kill her himself?

Lol just "dizzy" from all that blood loss.

I'm guessing some sort of reveal after the break.

Lol he doesn't want to fight them all because it would reveal his identity? So he can't kick all their asses on his own?
