Been a while since Elfie made a thread.  Grats.

Thanks! It's because I saw that golden post VIZ made earlier this week and thought, "man, so many people on this board would LOVE to see that!"

So, I happened to actually physically walk into Wal-Mart, personally, myself, the other day.  I try to avoid it, but I had to pick up some things.  I happened to go by the poster section, so I checked them out. 

There were TWO different My Hero Academia posters!  Mainstream status confirmed?  I'd like to think they were probably there before the show got on Toonami.  Demaro used to talk about how Toonami was a hitmaker, as in, made shows popular that few knew about before, or increased the popularity of already moderately popular shows by a substantial amount.  Those days are long gone!  Demarco is almost always late to the game and dropping the ball these days!  And so out of touch he thinks people want Gundam and FLCL sequels. 

Oh, there was also a Yuri on Ice poster, and a poster of that unholy Cyberdyne abomination Hatsune Miku (has she infiltrated this far?!) ...and a Super poster. :| Had to check the spelling of that and...  ...Wait, there's a real Cyberdyne company now?!  And you named your cyborg HAL?!  YOU FOOLS!

Ever watch Kitchen Nightmares? All the episodes where the owners have shitty decor and shitty food that they love but the customers hate and they refuse to change because they're running their business to cater to their own likes and interests..... rather than catering to their customers and having a successful business?

That's how Demarco has run Toonami. He likes vintage stuff, FLCL, Outlaw Star, Champioo, Bebop, Gundam's, Lupin etc. And if he likes it you're getting it.

Yes lmao.

Well the thing is, Demarco would pick up things the fans ask for, but then they always say they only play shows that they like.  So, the show has to be something that people want, but Demarco also has to like it, and he also has to not bungle acquiring it.  But then yeah, there's still stuff he gets that absolutely nobody was asking for.

Also, think of all the crap that they've aired.  This means Demarco and co. like Tenchi GXP (which they realized was shit after the fact, but too late,) Akame Ga Kill, Tokyo Ghoul, Dimension W, Pop Team Epic, etc.  And still sticking to his "we don't skip filler!" rule, even for Shippuden.  They only ever skipped some Jar Jar episodes of Clone Wars.  I'd take those any day over Shippuden and Boruto!  I remember someone asked him about why .hack was aired the way it was on CN and he said something like I don't know but if I was in charge I never would've ran it since I hate .hack.  So yeah, if you want a show but Demarco hates it, too bad!

A few days ago there was a random article on my news feed about an Asian girl that makes 6 figures cosplaying. In the video that went with the article she was cosplaying as...... female Bakugo.

Found the article.

Anime not so niche anymore, eh? :P Well, at least not some of it!  My Hero Academia is up there.  But, I can see why, after watching it.

Hmm, one I'm not familiar with.  I'll make not of her for later.

This is such a weird OP song.  The verses don't go like you expect and go longer than you expect.  It's good, though.

Poor Uraraka about to be thrown to the wolves/lions. T__T

It's more mainstream but it comes with drawbacks.  Corporations are having trouble figuring out how to market it. Hollywood live-action remakes wind up horrible, and recently Reed Pop restarted the NY Anime Fest but got a poor turnout.

I'm fine with Live action remakes as long as we can ignore them and watch the animes they're based on (''>_>'')
