OwlChemist81 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but a summer debut for Part 1 on home video just seems to scream dub premiere on Toonami! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-02-17/funimation-announces-re-zero-home-video-release/.127900 What's even more interesting is the time this story was posted: Exactly 22:00 EST on a Saturday night, which of course corresponds to 23:00 EDT, as Daylight Savings Time would be in effect this summer. Could we be talking about DBZ Kai's replacement here?? Some are saying it might be FLCL but I'm "fully-cooly" expecting that to be a 10 PM expansion show! As for Re:Zero, could make a great pairing with Black Clover for a "Dark Fantasy" hour at 11 PM Saturday nights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korosu Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We could be getting 10 pm next month unless he means 4 am here. Either way he's pretty clearly saying the next show is supposed to be an expansion show, don't think you can read this any other way. Logically I also take it as this change will happen the week before Outlaw Star ends. If it was just going to replace Lupin there wouldn't be an expansion, but for him to use those words instead of just saying Outlaw Star is ending soon gives me that impression. Unless Outlaw Star is replaced with The Big O or something and this new show is pushed back even further, we're supposed to expect another expansion along with the next new show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 It's a stretch, but then again, this IS the same company who handed out exactly 1,337 piracy lawsuits a while back. So don't put anything past them. Besides, you can't deny it wouldn't be bad paired with Black Clover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 They're a true transgender character in anime, which is rare, and they're portrayed as completely wholesome. I'll take a win like that whenever I can. I also don't know what you're referring to by the "okama character". Betelgeuse, maybe? He does dress rather flamboyantly, but I've never thought he was a crossdresser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurgatoryGirl Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) I'm actually surprised that Anime News Network never bothered to announce, that Stardust Crusaders' "Battle In Egypt" Arc was premiering last Saturday night. As far as shows go, I hope Blue Exorcist's 2nd season does eventually get acquired. However, it would be much better to re-air Season 1 for a recap. Then follow it up with Season 2. Meanwhile, I still say Black Butler should be acquired for the block. Some may be opposed to Black Butler, but there is quite a bit of action in it. Also, the series is meant for an adult audience.

OwlChemist81 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Black Butler would be nice for Toonami. But it's in licensing hell since Aniplex decided not to let FUNimation renew their license to Season 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Has Demarco shown any sign that he's aware of it's existence? The dub could be quite a few months away still.

PurgatoryGirl Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 That sucks. Considering that some of the current shows have dark content, I think it would be nice to have Black Butler as a latest addition to the block. I would suggest Vampire Knight but it needs a re-dub, in my opinion. The dub is not terrible, but I think there should be a re-casting for Kaname, Yuki, and Zero, since they are the main characters. The current English dub voice actors don't bring out their personalities. With Kaname Kuran, he needs to have a dark yet seductive voice. Someone like Patrick Seitz or Crispin Freeman could've worked. Zero Kiryu needs to have a voice actor, who sounds angry and resentful. I think Johnny Yong Bosch or Yuri Lowenthal could've played the role of Zero and his evil twin brother better. As for Yuki (the protagonist), I would've suggested Laura Bailey but she was casted as Maria. Anyway, I digress. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question that remains is if it is on their radar. supposedly they reveal he's evil and he becomes a main villain for a couple story arcs before turning good again, basically he reveals he's like Orochimaru and has been transferring himself from body to body (including several female bodies) in an attempt to revive a man he was once in love with at the cost of everyone else in the world's lives, or so says the millions of spoilers in his entry on TVtropes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Mr. Osomatsu, which (premiered in 2015,) actually got licensed by Viz and they said they were dubbing it, but it's been several months since that without any other announcements.

Blatch Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 To my knowledge, Crunchyroll has no affiliation with BC's Toonami airing, probably since they focus on subs and thus only have the rights to that one. You can prove this through a quick look at the credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
