OwlChemist81 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I think it indicates that Bo and MHA may move down soon, like as soon as Megalobox is over. Hopefully MHA will at least get a Season 3 long-form promo! Edited February 17, 2019 by OwlChemist81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 i just never expected this to happen since well i never thought the promo's would be that time-consuming and annoying to make.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) If you've never edited videos, yes it's a very time-consuming job, on the level of a minute for each second of screen time. But yeah, I could see SAO: Alicization move up to 11:30 and Mob Psycho 100 return at Midnight with season 2. Meanwhile MHA would follow that and Bo may fall all the way to 2:30 to lead-in to Shippuden...

CountFrylock Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I Have my doubts that Boruto would fall that hard(Is SAO That Popular to really justify starting right after DB Super?) i guess this bums me out because having no hype promo's for MHA And Boruto isn't exactly a good thing....and for first time viewers having to google the next episode description leaves you wide open to spoilers for that episode and ones after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they get another new show, SAO will stop getting topicals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It's nice to see confirmation that they ended the blog because Tumblr sucks. As for the other news, I say good riddance. MHA never needed topical promos, and arguably not Boruto either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I thought MHA's topicals were flawed from the beginning when they said "on the next all-new episode..." when almost everyone knew the dub of that show was NOT new since it was a FUNimation broadcast dub/"simul-dub." But I question the timing of this. It seems it would have been better to finish out Season 2, do a long-form blowout promo for the Season 3 premiere, then relegate it to bumpers and schedule promos.

OwlChemist81 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Well if they're gonna cut down on topicals, some nice touches, such as acknowledging mid-season/season/series finales like they did with One-Punch Man and I believe with Attack On Titan Season 2. We didn't hear that with AOT Season 3A or Mob Psycho Season 1. Maybe we will with Megalobox and eventually AOT Season 3B?

OwlChemist81 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Well, they seem to be showing the schedule promo more often, especially during The Boondocks at 1 AM weeknights Monday-Thursday. That ain't a bad tradeoff!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I guess, yeah. They are still hyping DBS, though I don'tknow why since the tournament is like a third of the way done or something isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain't a bad tradeoff!! I’d rather they regularly show the lineup promo than do topicals for several shows. i don’t think Boruto and MHA are likely to shift down. Maybe MHA for Mob or new Titan but Boruto is holding Super better than MHA did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 While I don't mind the lack of topicals, I'm kinda starting to grow tired of the lineup promos, mostly in how TOM and SARA try to force creative ways of saying [INSERT SHOW HERE] is on at [INSERT TIME HERE]. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFrylock Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 if it's too much of a workload then just cut out the stuff that doesn't need to be promoted every single week Boruto Is The Second Tier Show Right After Super and i think that needs all the promo work it can get if toonami wants it to be Recognized nobody needs to be told DB Super exists every single week They'll sit down and watch it regardless less can be said for Boruto And MHA However Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The OP has done nothing but shit up the joint for much of the time they've been here, so I wouldn't bother with a response even mildly pedantic. I do still think getting rid of most topicals was a good idea. There was never a good reason to do them for every premiere. That we're now back to the standard for 2017 and such, where DB Super and the most recent/noteworthy new show gets promoted every week, is a lot better than flooding the airwaves with promos that won't attract much viewership. Plus, it's good to get the Toonami name out there in advertising anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
