Ginguy Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Now would be as good a time as any to go back to airing obscure stuff that deserves a wider audience. Say what you will about their quality, but the "unpredictables", as I like to call them, were never boring when revealed. The problem with unpredictable shows is they can shine, do okay or shit the sheets. You can't tell what you get until the ink is dry, hence going for things which are known quantities, like MHA and, I suspect, Black Clover.
Daos Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Netflix has all the known quantities though, I doubt that, do they have Made in Abyss, Akashic records and Worldend? If they have all of those, then yeah I guess they have everything.
AnimationFan14 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Black Clover would probably rate well, but I have no desire to see it on the block. I guess it's the most generic shonen to ever get this popular. shithead Akame Ga Kill has proved before that being generic can equal a huge ratings hit and if there is still any truth in that then Black Clover is sure to do extremely well on Toonami

OwlChemist81 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 As always, laughable retention for Super. HAPPY TACO DAY!
PokeNirvash Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The problem with unpredictable shows is they can shine, do okay or shit the sheets. You can't tell what you get until the ink is dry, hence going for things which are known quantities, like MHA and, I suspect, Black Clover. Look, I get it. You never know what you're gonna get with those shows. But really, I don't care if what they get does good like Deadman or does shitty like GXP, I just want something that isn't predictable for once!
CaptainStarwind Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Look, I get it. You never know what you're gonna get with those shows. But really, I don't care if what they get does good like Deadman or does shitty like GXP, I just want something that isn't predictable for once! Yeah, I completely agree with this. Toonami needs to shake it up a bit and get something other than the standard shonen fare. Ratings be damned.
MasqueradeOverture Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Yeah, I completely agree with this. Toonami needs to shake it up a bit and get something other than the standard shonen fare. Ratings be damned. Dune: An 18-Part Limited Event Animated Series.
Blatch Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I think Toonami could stand to move in both directions. Get the people what they want in newer shows sans Dragon Ball, but carve out an hour or so in the back for those lesser-known anime. And I wouldn't mind seeing some past Broadcast Dubs on the block. Basically, whatever is more likely that people haven't seen, I think'd be good.
Daos Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 NAHHHH Toonami will get this http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/10/05/tokyo-ghoulre-tv-anime-planned-for-2018
The1gairon Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 NAHHHH Toonami will get this http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/10/05/tokyo-ghoulre-tv-anime-planned-for-2018 Yeah Alex I'll take "not seeing that shit" for 500.
Daos Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The rumor so far is that it just flat out ignores all of S2.
Delaclease Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The rumor so far is that it just flat out ignores all of S2. S2 was bullshit story. Didn't follow the manga.
PokeNirvash Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Yeah Alex I'll take "not seeing that shit" for 500.
Jman Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 They need to get premieres or else they’re screwed. Funny story, the ONLY AS show with presence at NYCC is Rick and Morty.
OwlChemist81 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Weird; not even FLCL? And that's not even true; the FUNimation panel mentioned all their Toonami shows!
Misaka Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 There’s a big panel tomorrow...for Robot Chicken. Finally! Been waiting for the next season
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 They should try to get the Blade Runner OVA. Oh, you better believe they're going after that!
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Oh, you better believe they're going after that! Watch Netflix will out bid them yet again
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Watch Netflix will out bid them yet again For a SHORT? Yeah, I doubt that.
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 For a SHORT? Yeah, I doubt that. This is Netflix we are talking about They would do it just to spite toonami
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 This is Netflix we are talking about They would do it just to spite toonami FLYING LOTUS did the score. Toonami has this one on lockdown!
Daos Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Nope nope they blew all their money on 3 more Gundam series and S3 of TG. And the next DB series Dragonball Ultra.. coming in 2025 after Super finishes.
Blatch Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 And a co-funded second season of Dimension W. :robotD
Jman Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Toonami airs Season 2 of IBO. Netflix gets a full version of The Origin manga and Crossbone Gundam produced.
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 FLYING LOTUS did the score. Toonami has this one on lockdown! You do realize the current crew has horrible taste in anime in today's standard If this early 08/09 it would be ideal but now? Hell no
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Nope nope they blew all their money on 3 more Gundam series and S3 of TG. And the next DB series Dragonball Ultra.. coming in 2025 after Super finishes. Horrible choice Spend the money on better series not this shit
Daos Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 2016 Samurai Champloo Dimension W Hunter × Hunter (2011 series) Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans One-Punch Man JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2017 Dragon Ball Super Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 Samurai Jack (revival series) Tokyo Ghoul Lupin the Third Part IV Tokyo Ghoul √A JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Outlaw Star (uncut) Two shows that can be considered "hits" in the last 2 years. 3 if you want to count Buu saga, but that's kind of floundered lately. That's not very good.
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 JoJo was a horrible choice after 2 Gundum another stupid move Lupin ... What were they even thinking? Tokyo ghoul isn't even doing that well
Blatch Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 One thing you have to remember is that the majority of these shows are at least well liked by fans. And I guess they all did okay, but DeMarco could be lying to us. JoJo's Part 3 is a small step down from the first two in terms of my personal enjoyment, but I think it's actually the highlight of Toonami for right now. HxH hasn't gelled with me for a while (I have to get serious about it before Chimera Ant starts up, at least), and I guess Lupin is okay, but it's not the kind of show I enjoy watching during Toonami. I'd rather see something else in its slot. -_' I'll give Gundam IBO S2 a chance, even if I wasn't too keen on the first. It at least promises to be a very chaotic show with tons of meaningful drama and character deaths.
Ginguy Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I think IBO S2 will do well, but since it follows the bed-soiling I don't think it will be accurately reflected in ratings. Everyone dies in IBO S2. Not kidding, every main character dies. Total trainwreck
PokeNirvash Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Everyone dies in IBO S2. Not kidding, every main character dies. Kudelia and Atra don't.
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 jojo marathon ..... well the ratings will speak for themselves on how bad the show is
Daos Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Say what you will about Jojo.. but at least it gave us ORA CATS
The1gairon Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Let's hope the FLCL sequels aren't anything like Neo Yokio.
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Kudelia and Atra don't. Ugh, why oh WHY DID I READ THAT!? Aren't they making a movie? If so, it would seem to imply his demise is inconclusive, kinda like the bloodbath that ended Gundam 00 Season 1.
Ginguy Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Wait, they are doing a Jojo marathon? Does DeMarco want to get cancelled? Seriously, is he on a Rocketman suicide mission or something here?
Misaka Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Wait, they are doing a Jojo marathon? Does DeMarco want to get cancelled? Seriously, is he on a Rocketman suicide mission or something here? Yup on the 8th A waste of time
Blatch Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 You mean the 28th? I have not seen anything about that, but I think it's the most likely scenario.
Misaka Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 You mean the 28th? I have not seen anything about that, but I think it's the most likely scenario. Xfinity just had the marathon for the 8th
The1gairon Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 You mean the 28th? I have not seen anything about that, but I think it's the most likely scenario. on the other hand, Jojo is a good fit for the Halloween mood.
Ginguy Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 They could get one off airing rights to so many awesome OVAs for things like DST. Just about any Satoshi Kon film or even older Miyazaki films like Naussica would work well.
OwlChemist81 Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Xfinity just had the marathon for the 8th Like this SUNDAY!? What the hell...? That's...bizarre!
Blatch Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Xfinity just had the marathon for the 8th I am not seeing it. whut
OwlChemist81 Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Xfinity just had the marathon for the 8th Gotta be the 28th, which was not unexpected! While Walking Dead Robot Chicken and JoJo might be thematically similar, no way in hell they'd actually do that.
