  1. Does Log Horizon have an ending, since the author got in trouble for tax evasion? Either way, just because you don't like SAO, doesn't mean there's not an audience left for that genre of series. It's popular and has done well for Toonami. So if anything SAO having been on the block so much could create more interest for Log Horizon. Don't know much about those other shows and haven't heard of at least one of them. I hope the theory Poke had about this being a package deal is true.
  2. Well, I think we can all safely say that no one predicted Toonami would get this. So, I guess this is one of the NON-ACTION shows Demarco was talking about? After Pop Team Epic. Was Food Wars heavily requested? I don't know much about Food Wars, but given what little I do know, and I think I skimmed a chapter or two, it should be... amusing, to say the least. Wait, it's going to last over a year?! I dunno, man.
  3. Are you talking about watches as subs or watches as dubs? Some people will wait for dubs, some won't, some will watch both, others won't care. Anime is more popular and mainstream now, but I think dubs are still what gets the majority of casual, passive viewers, as you call them. Only reason I ever watch something subbed first is if it's a show I'm already following and I don't want to wait, but then I'll still watch the dub. Even then, I almost watched SAO and JoJo subbed after looking into them and recommendations from a friend, before they aired on Toonami, only for Toonami to shortly get them thereafter, so that was pretty good timing for me. I watched the later seasons of SAO subbed first though, and re-watched the dub on Toonami. For JoJo I've just been watching it on Toonami. But yeah we all know Toonami is a day late and a dollar short, Demarco constantly dropping the ball not just with show picks, but when he gets them. Maybe if he would prioritize what's hot over what he personally likes, like Gundam, things would go better. Although it's entirely possible they are getting the shows as quickly as they can, I don't know. Some shows we've seen have had very quick turnaround, like SAO and Attack on Titan. It would seem they aren't able to pull that off with every show, though. I know I don't watch a lot of stuff before it gets to Toonami because I don't have time (I have other hobbies besides anime,) or prefer to watch dubbed in most cases.
  4. And this time it was actually relevant to the discussion and not yet another reach for Al to come up with an excuse to talk about it! That said, it was a different time, and a different block. The block was longer then, packed with more shows, so airing something at 3 or later looks much worse now. Might have been possible they put it there to easier work around the odd run times? Everything after Hellsing was reruns.
  5. Hell, we didn't even see him DIE! There's been tons of times where we've seen characters in shonens take what we thought and probably should have been fatal wounds, only to turn out to have survived. We didn't even see what happened with Norman!
  6. Yeah I was about to say it's dead here again lol. I have no idea! Usually if a website has a no hot-linking policy (not sure how common those are nowadays,) that "no hot-linking!" page/image would appear/load in it's place, and not just a dead image/link. Administrator fucking with things I guess. She's been doing lots of illicit things with the programming!
  7. Yes I know. Did you read what I said? His post was first, yes, but he had a typo. I say he still wins it I think. The p in psword silent!
  8. I'm using Chrome, up-to-date, but I'm using an ancient, low-end PC. Phone is old too, Samsung Galaxy S5. Haven't updated Chrome on the phone in a while because I'm afraid of losing the tons of tabs I have open. Good thing I saved it before then!
  9. Do you still win even though you had a typo?
  10. Black Clover Page 76 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, Mimosa's brother Kirsch, Sol, and Finraal managed to succeed in their match against expectations and through unorthodox techniques. Kirsch was actually helpful and was able to win over Sol and Finraal? Is Kirsch not as bad as we thought, despite being a weirdo and a bit of an asshole, or is he using some sort of spell to charm his teammates? And will the Royal Knight selection go from here? Find out tonight, on Black Clover, on Toonami!
  11. EPISODE 22 DISCUSSION
  12. Oh man, I didn't even notice how funny Jean's face looks when she hits him right there in the clip. It's way more obvious in this gif! And she calls him a horse-faced jerk!
  13. Oh yeah, that whole scene is funny actually! Hitch nodding along. Jean saying he doesn't trust Marlowe because of that bowl cut. Hitch not realizing it was a test and whacking Jean with the stick!
  14. That was symbolic ghost Norman, whatever you call that, encouraging Emma. He wasn't in the next shot, and you see Emma's reaction. Unless I saw that wrong. I'm still not convinced he's really dead though.
  15. I remember that part I think, but why was Hitch doing that? Freaking out?
  16. Man that was so weird! I couldn't get that image to load! Wouldn't load on my phone so I went to my PC. Still wouldn't load. Wouldn't appear in the thread. Wouldn't appear when I opened image in new tab. I copied the image address and pasted it into the address bar directly and finally it loaded! Then I refreshed the tab with this thread and it worked here! o_O WHAT DID YOU DO ADMINISTRATOR?!
  17. How do you know? There are tons of more popular and relevant anime series Demarco could have picked up besides Gundam. It's a waste of money and timeslot, even at 3AM. You act like getting a live action movie is a good thing? I mean, even if the movie may end up sucking, you could make the argument it speaks to the series' relevance, that Hollywood takes notice? They'll pick out some random obscure stuff to adapt too, though.
  18. Hunter x Hunter was banished for being a failure. Blah-ruto and Bore-uto are back-end filler. Demarco thought Boruto would be the new hotness and even moved Shippuden up to run alongside it, but then both got kicked the curb. We're all well aware of Demarco's infamous declaration of wanting to have a Gundam series on the block at all times (LOL.) Of course that didn't last, and even with the boner for Gundam Demarco has, he knew getting Origin wasn't a wise business decision. He got it because he wanted to, which is why it's banished to 3AM. That's best for business!
  19. I have a DVR, and I'm a night owl, so I'd have no issue watching it regardless. I just think it's funny that the legendary Gundam would be relegated to 3AM death slot. Sharing company with Hunter there. >=]
  20. I remember Mochi I think pointing out that Hange was gender undefined in the manga/sub or something (which I took with a grain of salt,) but when I looked at her again after he said that, she really is kind of androgynous! Still, Armin is and has been a confirmed dude!
  21. Damn it lol. I guess it could be like an extension of the walking on water and walls thing, but I dunno.
  22. For sure lol. Yeah! She's gotta have someone to learn from... I think Kakashi is probably playing a villain to some extent here, but it didn't seem like he was lying about believing Boruto is the best in the class. Eeeehhh...
