ONEPUNCH MAN SEASON 2 OCTOBER 12TH! (DEMON SLAYER TOO!)
ben0119 replied to 3ngag3's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
We still haven't figured out why MHA got death-slotted like that. Sure, the episodes had been widely seen elsewhere for a while by then, right? But it wasn't even doing bad! And even way back there, it was beating just about everything that aired before it! We had originally theorized it was a political move of pettiness due to the deal Funimation made with Hulu. But then Toonami got Fire Force, so that seemed to debunk that theory. Either way, they had definitely better put the episodes at a better time if they get season 4! Those episodes will be much fresher! -

So then this means they won't just rerun Super at the front of the block? Thank Kami. I was afraid they would do that. I'd like to think they wouldn't do anything so foolish, wasteful, and lazy, but my confidence in the Toonami crew has been steadily eroded over the past few years. -

Fairy Tail is a long-runner, so it would have been continuously airing. It's really popular, too. Of course people kept requesting it. Hell, ASA should have been airing it before Toonami even came around. Tokyo Ghoul, bafflingly, has a very ardent fan base, who apparently would not stop pestering Demarco until he aired it. Then when it airs, what we hear from people is how you shouldn't even bother with the show and should just read the manga. I looked up wiki stuff on the manga, can't say the writing there sounds brilliant, either, even if things are apparently given more time to breathe and be better developed. Just look up all that Owl nonsense for a sample of what I'm talking about! I would really like to know how many total requests they are getting and from what sources, though, and if they are even tabulating them and counting them in any way, or just "eyeballing." Could be troll requests in some cases? Well, I just looked up Golden Kamuy. I must have been thinking of some other show. Banana Fish, not sure. Don't think people would request that one as a troll or joke. Like I said, we have no idea of the sample size or how they are even counting them. Demarco also flat out refused shows before, too. They said they wouldn't air Panty and Stocking. Was it because of content, or did Demarco just not like it? Can't imagine it's any worse than what we saw in Kill la Kill. He said no to Yugioh. I like it, but let's face it, we don't wanna skew that young! And he had remarked to someone who asked him why .hack was aired the way it was, and said something like he wouldn't have aired it anyway, because he hates it. So don't expect any .hack series to ever appear. So yeah, just because something is requested, doesn't mean it will air. It may not make it for content reasons, or Demarco and co. may veto it because they don't like it. I wouldn't put it past him. But I mean, a lot of these shows are popular, so stands to reason Demarco would like them too? That kind of goes against his supposed hipster-ness, though. At least he has that ITO CRED. -

That sounds great! Why did the show have to change animation studios? I would've thought, especially after waiting all this time, the show second season would have high production values. Hearing about animation downgrade depresses me. That was one of the best parts of season 1. Yeah I will watch it regardless, since I love the story and the characters. I just hope the animation isn't too bad. I have known fans to exaggerate with complaints before, so it wouldn't surprise if that were the case here, too. -

I hope they are a more compelling enemy than Naraku's poisonous insects! Oh, and I just found this picture! More Maki, please! I like Tamaki, but she's over-saturated. I like Maki more, she needs way more fan art, or even just some screen shots! -
We've long since stopped expecting great sense from the Toonami crew. ASA makes Toonami seem like geniuses, but that's not saying much. Demarco and co. still do a lot of stupid shit. I'm not super familiar with Ito, and I didn't see that other Ito anime, but, if what you say is true, then that throws more doubt into this series' success. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I really wouldn't put it past Demarco do yet another thing that doesn't make sense. Nice Balsa avatar, by the way.

I don't know what reruns you're talking about, or what you're trying to say with that. But if viewers really balk at a show running at the front or in the middle of the block, which has happened at times, it can end up fucking over the rest of the shows that air after it. During particularly disastrous, baffling moves, like airing Attack on Titan reruns at the beginning of the block, that, along, with previous bonehead programming decisions leading up to it, ended up getting the block chopped in half. And who knows how much money they are spending on Uzumaki that could potentially be put to better use elsewhere. It better be good.

https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/rooster-teeth-layoffs-13-percent-warnermedia-1203333556/ They actually fired 50 people. Don't think they would fire this guy, though? So not sure why he left. And he's not the CEO. The CEO is the guy that posted that message you linked to, Elfie. Rooster Teeth has gone corporate, it seems. Just look at how this message is written - https://roosterteeth.com/post/52071476 And yup, Demarco dun goofed again! How does Toonami always manage to stumble into these situations?
-
They don't even know if shows are dubbed or not? Seriously? That's some crack team we've got there. More like a team on crack. Still, I can't see how Demarco could like the show, when the fan service is all over the place in it. It's not exactly a minor thing or infrequent at all. There's much better shows they could have come up with to "fill a slot for a while." Sounds like this show is... filler. Heh. There was fan service in the first two Fire Force episodes also. Yeah watching a 1-3 episodes for most shows to get an idea of them is probably okay with most shows.
-
Yes, but Demarco has blamed other departments to pass the buck before, like programming, master control, and S&P, etc. Also, what Sketchor said. And why would Funimation make an edit like they're trying to put the show on old daytime Toonami? What the hell is even going on here? If that's implying actual penetration then this show may have crossed a line, "joke fantasy" foodgasm scene or not.

You actually went for the thread at midnight?! Someone actually tried to make the thread this early?! THIS IS MADNESS! I actually like the opening theme and think it is too good for this show. Wtf is a givegasm? Me posting this picture tonight is even more fitting than I expected! Not only does Mochi frequent the Food Wars threads, he made this one! I kept this box for the novelty. I should try to find these again, though. I think I remember liking them! By the way, this photo was taken with my NEW PHONE. Samsung Galaxy S10+ I've been struggling along with my Galaxy S5 for a long time now! This new one is awesome! I'm still finding out all the features. But since now I have a phone with good battery lifespan again, and no real issues with lag, it was good for show discussions last week! Pretty much I use the boards on my phone during Toonami, and I'm on the PC at other times. I have my PC to the right of my TV, but I'd still have to switch chairs, from my recliner to my desk chair, so no good for live discussion. I guess if you had a laptop or tablet would be the only other way to do it.

Black Clover Page 87 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, Yami finished telling his tale of his past with Captain Vangeance. After completing a mission where they defeated two Magic Knight traitors that were working with bandits, including the bandit leader Yami had faced before, the two were promoted to Captains and allowed to form their own squads. With Asta still in a stupor even after hearing the story, Yami spouted some shonen cliches, which snapped Asta out of his funk. Just as the Black Bulls were about to leave to find out the results of the Royal Knight selection, someone came knocking at the door! Mereoleona! Just what does her arrival portend? Find out tonight, on Black Clover, on Toonami!
