Blatch Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 It has to be a hiatus. Toei would be stupid to stop milking their biggest cash cow. A hiatus at least allows them to refresh the production staff and lay out a coherent plan for... probably several more years of the anime to come. 1 Quote

I'd welcome a Haitus if it means when the show returns they'll actually let Vegeta do something genuinely epic again Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 It's either a hiatus or it's moving to a new timeslot. But this WILL enable Toonami to catch up to the Japanese airing somewhat. We're about to begin a story arc which aired in Summer 2016 in Japan, right? If it takes a hiatus then comes back in October, we could only be like a year behind. Remember, Bleach was a monster hit and it was 2-3 years behind the Japanese airing! Quote
Misaka Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I hope it's ended permanently then I won't have to see mochi bitch about Vegeta in ever thread 2 Quote
3ngag3 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Maybe they realized the manga story is better than the shit they put out in the anime and hope to adapt it once it gets ahead. 2 Quote
Daos Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Don't worry Demarco, the Dub is like a year behind the Sub. Quote

mochi Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 update: Fuji TV sort of confirmed that it's being cancelled to make way for another new Dragonball Anime currently in Development so get ready for Dragonball SuperS ] 1 Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Well, that's just great. When it comes to getting the hottest and the best, Toonami can hardly catch a break! The GOOD news is maybe this time after Kai ends and we've just got Super, maybe Ultra will air concurrent to Super a la what's going on with Super and Kai. Maybe THIS time Toonami will get in on the ground floor and get a Black Clover-style simuldub of Ultra in an earlier timeslot while Super airs in the later? Quote

They'll have a LOT of time to plan for a good replacement or rescheduling. After that, I wish wish WISH they wouldn't spam the block with so much Dragonball all the time.

It's 1.5 years, almost exactly. Well, ok, probably more like 1.67 years, due to Toonami's approximately 2 months worth of marathons & the April Fool's stunt, but that doesn't change the fact that since Super premiered in Japan in July 2015 and on Toonami on 1/7/17, at least when they started they were pretty much exactly 1.5 years apart. Kai ends in June, and this new series I'm calling Dragon Ball Ultra, or DBU, for lack of a better name, would likely begin in October. As I stated before, I think we could end up with a situation in which DBU starts the block and leads into DBS, like what we have right now with Super and Kai. And as for Kai, I can't overstate its value from the beginning as an "anchor" show for the back of the block. Edited January 19, 2018 by OwlChemist81 Quote

PokeNirvash Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 You guys do realize that Toonami still has over a year's worth of Super left in the bag to air? If there's any time to panic about Super in relation to block, now is not the time. So shut the fuck up. 4 Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Exactly. That time would be sometime in 2019 I guess, but NOT now! I kinda hope the new series doesn't come out for awhile because it might be good to see what Toonami does with just Super and not both Super and Kai leading for once. Quote

So shut the fuck up. also the implication is that they're going to resume production of Super but with a name change after the new Dragonball Movie finishes production so basically it's just a Haitus so they can focus all their work on the new movie THAT, or they're taking the Sailor moon Crystal season 4 approach and are going to continue Super's story purely in the form of movies as opposed to making any more episodes Quote

Blame Toei for trying to milk this franchise to high Heaven to begin with. The pickins are otherwise very slim for flagship Toonami shows that aren't snatched up by either Netflix, Hulu, Hi-DIVE, Amazon, etc. Edited January 22, 2018 by elfie Quote
PurgatoryGirl Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) What is the next show to end on the block after Lupin? Since DeMarco is on that kick of re-airing older shows, he should bring back Witch Hunter Robin. It's not like it got played up the ass like Cowboy Bebop and Inuyasha. Otherwise, there are still other shows, that have been overlooked throughout the last 17 years. Full Metal Panic, Black Blood Brothers, Devil May Cry, and Tenjo Tenge are just a few examples. There's also Shakugan no Shana, Kaze no Stigma, Black Butler, Beelzebub, the Fate/Stay Night franchise, etc. Edited January 23, 2018 by PurgatoryGirl Quote
PurgatoryGirl Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I forgot to mention Blue Exorcist. Both seasons should be aired starting with a re-airing of Season 1 in its entirety. After re-airing Season 1, follow it up with Season 2. 1 Quote

PurgatoryGirl Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Black Clover, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Naruto Shippuden are the only shows I'm currently watching on Toonami. The rest of the current shows, I don't care to watch especially not Dragon Ball. 1 Quote

That may not be the best idea with Blue Exorcist since it REALLY goes off the rails in Season 1! Like the first 15-16 episodes are all that is canonical; the rest is crazy fast-paced, but it's all filler! Season 2 pretty much picks up where the canonical portion of Season 1 left off with very little explanation, or at least it seemed that way from the one episode that I watched. Quote
PurgatoryGirl Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I've been meaning to watch Blue Exorcist's 2nd season, but haven't had the chance to watch it with my hectic schedule. Did the 2nd season at least cover more about Shima? Quote

Depending on the way Toonami's schedule is arranged, I watch old music videos on MTV Classic, while waiting for certain Toonami shows. I get a bigger kick out of watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because there's always a character named after retro artists and bands. Speaking of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, did anyone catch the Michael Jackson and Prince name drops in the latest episode? Michael and Prince used to be friends. I'm surprised there was no name drop of Vanity. 1 Quote

Yeah, it was that scene when they all were at Avdol's father's house and he was feeding his chicken's, Prince and Michael. Viewers who are 30 years old and younger and don't know much about music will probably have a more difficult time trying to understand the music references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Because I am a music lover and grew up during the 1980's and '90s, I can easily recognize who and what these characters are talking about. Also, the stand that Polaneriff was fighting with was named after the singer, Cameo. Oh God! 2 decades later and I still hate Cameo's song "Word Up." Quote
