The1gairon Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Discussed on the last thread. This is MUCH BETTER.. HxH is still at damn fuck 3 AM though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Much better. Not perfect but better. MHA really is a more 'early' feeling type of show. Still looks like I'll end up CrunchyRolling HxH though. I already know I'm going to fall asleep before then no matter how hard I try to stay up. I wish they'd get that hour at the front back on the schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ngag3 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I can't really complain about HxH because it's been at the ass end of the block for most of its run. I guess I've become desensitized to it or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Judging from ratings retention, this is quite sound. Though Black Clover should probably be at 1 AM ahead of JoJo. Show gets damn near 100% retention almost every time. But MHA S3 closed the gap between it and Boruto, so it certainly deserves the limelight, while Boruto is banished to the abyss!

Blatch Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 This is hilarious. It makes me wonder why the first schedule was even necessary. Did DeMarco dislike it but not waggle his finger hard enough at programming, or is the block being run this poorly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Why does the shit always hit the fan when I'm not here? The first I heard of this was CabooseJr making a community post on Youtube that showed this schedule that said, if there is enough uproar, they will change things, or something to that effect. And I was wondering... what... is he talking about? Then I went back and looked at the first schedule that was posted! LOL! Makes sense why people were upset! At least I didn't have to be pissed off for a couple days. Poor JoJo! But Boruto still got kicked to the fuckin' curb lmao. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can't think of too many networks that would change a schedule based on complaints. You could say that the people complaining online aren't representative of the viewers... but are the fucking Nielsen homes really representative of the viewers?? I seem to remember fans sending food to a network over a show getting canceled... *does some Googling* https://abcnews.go.com/Business/FunMoney/story?id=3214156&page=1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_(2006_TV_series) Oh yeah, Jericho, it got canceled and the fans sent a bunch of peanuts to the network! And it actually worked?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Wasn't there a campaign on the ASMB to send old pizza boxes to Williams Street in protest to the 5AM deathslotting of Geass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Reading between the lines, I wonder if this somehow alerted Jason & co. to the existence of Part 5, they quickly acquired it, and adjusted JoJo accordingly. Maybe they really DID think it was a lame-duck show like Hunter x Hunter? Which by the way, this Election Arc just seems like a really REALLY stupid way to finish the series. The Chimera Ant ending may have been pretentious and overnarrated, but it was at least interesting. Making HxH the last premiere of the night just seems academic at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean if they think Diamond is Unbreakable is a dud, then they're sure as shit not gonna like Golden Wind.

DangerMouse Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Oh wow, didn't expect Boruto to get bumped so far down since they'll almost definitely run the whole thing like they're clearly trying to do for Shippuden, but it makes sense with Promised Neverland coming. Pretty good schedule and I'm expecting further schedule tweaking in the near future in that I definitely think Attack on Titan premieres will retake the midnight slot and bump things down an extra half hour as soon as the dub starts. Glad Jojo's at 1am so I can take that goodness in after SAO finishes. Now I just wonder how long it'll take for Viz to start dubbing OPM S2 to get it on here as well.

I would fucking HOPE they aren't so incompetent to not know about the next JoJo series. But if they are really planning to not renew JoJo then that is a shame, since they've run the whole thing up until now and people seem to be enjoying it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of Golden Wind, it's a damn sight better, what with actually having a plot and direction.

I mean Golden Wind does have more of a plot in that from the beginning it's plot is just "find out who the boss is" but it's just as slow in terms of moving the plot along.

OwlChemist81 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Even if it meanders, JoJo is at least wildly entertaining! A good show to put between SAO and Black Clover, and that's not changing! Plus, if we do get Golden Wind, at some point this year all 3 shows will have 2019 animation, and there will be 4 if they replace Promised Neverland with something else animated in 2019! Of course by that time we'll also have AOT S3 Part 2 and/or maybe MHA Season 4... Edited April 11, 2019 by OwlChemist81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is - Is Toonami trolling with this? They're skating on thin ice. And I don't think they're ever going to give up using that "it feels so nostalgic" line from Kirito. I thought that was more trolling on the part of two stores that participated in a store display contest that Aniplex held. I sure as hell hope that's not official promo material!

OwlChemist81 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) That's strange--with the exception of Promised Neverland, ALL of this footage is from older episodes that already aired on Toonami. A few examples: the DBS footage is from early Tournament of Power; the MHA footage is from SEASON 2; the SAO footage looks like Episode 10 (which aired last week); the JoJo footage and Black Clover footage are from a few weeks ago; the Hunter x Hunter footage is from the Chimera Ant arc; and the AOT footage is most annoyingly from Season 3, when we've been on Season 1 for 7 weeks now! They're clearly putting a lot more effort into those damn Lazor Wulf promos, which is a shame, because fewer people watched that than My Hero Academia last week! Tigtone and Hot Streets usually beat MHA in the Saturday-to-Sunday timeslot head-to-head competition.
