CountFrylock Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 kinda funny SAO Glitched out and caused this whole mess because it's worked perfectly with toonami's plans according to Demarco since they aren't even allowed to discuss megalobox's replacement yet I Have no idea who is screwing up the deal but had SAO Not glitched out they would have been screwed with potentially no new show for the megalobox slot 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Who knows if they already have Megalo's replacement picked out, but with how the block has been run lately (as in, last October), I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. But if so, and if it weren't for this, they could've put a lame-duck half-hour like the Countdown supercut/Scavengers on again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) stuff like this shouldn't happen and i can only imagine it's because toonami is under-staffed so they can't even regularly check the copies they have to make sure they aren't screwed up the toonami crew just isn't being run properly i don't know if they don't care or if they are too busy but it's unacceptable and will only get worse if something's not done about to prevent another incident like this from happening Edited March 19, 2019 by CountFrylock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in either programming or master control (whichever dept. ingests the shows at CN as it's different for every channel) didn't put the right start or end marks on the two segments of the file on the dubber before saving them in the system, thus causing this royal fuckup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind that March 30th is technically within the [ as ] April Fools time should they decide to do something weird for weird's sake. So they may have had a buffer scheduled anyway before doing any announcements. All the glitching did was force a slight change in how things are aired in order to get back on schedule with the shows they currently have running. Additional theory, this double episode might be used to move SAO back half an hour officially with Attack on Titan season 3 restarting at the old SAO time. The 50th episode is currently scheduled for 4.28 in Japan. Starting season 3 now should hopefully give everyone time to dub and ready for aire the 50th episode to seamlessly play. Theory only though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaloBox, on the other hand, had a definite release date of December 8th for months. And, I believe, so did Boruto. That, I believe, covers all the new shows of the 2nd half of 2018. The first new show of 2019, SAO: Alicization, we knew about for a couple weeks at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Sunday this year. True, but Saturday's are easier to mess with. So like I said, it's within their time frame if they felt the need to cheat the schedule a little. On the same level, it's been 12 years in April since the 'ATHF' movie came out. Maybe they'll have a 'we just hit puberty' marathon of that movie as the joke that Sunday instead. In like Chinese or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Was another thread really necessary for this? After we had the episode thread, the Sword Art Offline thread, then CountFrylock made yet another thread with Demarco addressing the issue, and now this thread. I swear Al just makes some threads just for the sake of being the OP of "big" threads like when some news like this breaks, even though it's not necessary. I won't really complain about him grabbing so many episode threads because no one really cares about the "competition" anymore, where that competition was always who has the best atomic clock and not the quality of the OP itself, and many of us are too lazy to make the episode threads, no one gives a shit about certain shows, or we just plain forget. I guess we're all getting old. But, redundant threads are redundant. If we weren't going to discuss the glitch issue in the episode thread, one additional thread, Poke's perfectly titled Sword Art Offline thread, was all that was needed. On the topic of how many threads, should we make another episode thread for episode 6, or reuse last week's thread? Does the episode thread were the glitch happened need to be preserved for posterity and historical significance? Some people seem to think that this incident is interesting because of how rarely this happens. For me, it's just annoying and a hassle, this time, and any other time this has happened, like with Big O and Eureka 7. Though it was more thoughtlessness than a glitch with Eureka 7, since they cut legit content "for time" intentionally. For when episodes 7 and 8 air, I think one thread should be necessary even though it's not one episode like with the premiere? Then people don't have to worry about clicking into a new thread to continue the discussion. Anyway, I am glad they are re-airing the episode they botched. I don't know why they are so insistent on SAO not being behind an episode, but they are and so we have another hour of SAO coming up. I am quite frankly shocked that we don't know what the Megalo replacement is, and especially that Demarco can't even name it. So it's not because it's a "surprise," which by the way, surprises don't help with a new show starting out that people need to know what it is and that it's airing to be there to watch and/or set their DVRs. Promoting something kind of actually matters. I gotta wonder how this would have panned out if the glitch didn't happen. You'd think they'd be more on top of things than to be negotiating down the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
