Jman Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Let’s see if it gets more than one episode like Korgoth did. 1 Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 So is it gonna be a Toonami show or just an [as] show? I can't see them playing this on Sundays at midnight... Quote

The1gairon Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I did start a thread about this already. But I put in the Adult Swim section since it has more to do with Adult Swim than Toonami. Quote

PokeNirvash Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Can't I ironically hate Demarco just once without someone cursing me out with their logic and facts? Besides, Lazzo hate is outdated. Quote

CountFrylock Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 this is from the toonami subreddit and is a quote from Genndy " Still, he wasn’t thrilled with seeing the show stuffed into Adult Swim’s Toonami animation block, alongside the likes of Japanese hits such as “Dragon Ball Super” and “Ghost in the Shell,” having hoped to see the show receive a different context. “I would’ve liked it to be its own thing,” he said. “The magic of Jack is that it’s unique, there’s not a lot of stuff like it. But OK.” pretty much it isn't gonna be on toonami because genndy felt Toonami held samurai jack's final season back and kept it from being as big as it could have been had it been on say A Regular weeknight alongside the normal [AS] Lineup as opposed to being on toonami where it's just another action show on a action heavy block 1 Quote
The1gairon Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 .... weell you heard it here folks. Genndy now shows that people have put Toonami into a stronger label than previously thought. This is perplexing. He is very much inspired by anime and I would've thought it DOES fit at home there. Quote

I can't see a show like PRIMAL taking over the Jellies' current timeslot on Sunday nights, and Fridays would probably be just as disappointing. Plus, Jack Season 5 DID air on weeknights. It had a Wednesday night timeslot at 10 PM. Of course, the solution is obvious: GIVE TOONAMI a weeknight timeslot!! Edited May 15, 2019 by OwlChemist81 1 Quote
CountFrylock Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 i think he just wanted Jack Season 5 to Premiere on a week night instead of what he felt to be a block that didn't do much to reach a wider audience and that putting it on toonami made it harder for it to stand out Quote
The1gairon Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 There's an unsettling feeling when a creator reveals his actual opinions after appearing on-screen with a front about actually loving it. Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) I kinda hope going forward, [as] offers some original programming on weeknights. Monday-Thursday have been a wasteland of reruns for FAR too long (though I'll admit I often watch The Boondocks) and it would be better if every night at 10 PM (with a 1:30 repeat) they had something original to offer. But with Final Space coming soon as well, this might be a reality! Edited May 16, 2019 by OwlChemist81 Quote
CountFrylock Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 it just seems like Toonami has this stigma of being for stuff that isn't good enough to be on at a reasonable time on a reasonable day in the eyes of people like Genndy Quote
The1gairon Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I think I'm so shocked because this is the first time a public showrunner displayed preference for something other than Toonami for his show. Quote

ben0119 Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) That trailer looks cool. https://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/samurai-jack-season-5-genndy-tartakovsky-interview-sex-violence-1201888020/ Gotta admit Genndy sounds like a bit of a dick with that comment. I mean it's not like the people who still cared about Samurai Jack had any issues finding it. In the same interview, he was also bitter about Lucasfilm doing the CGI Clone Wars, but changed his mind on that at least. Genndy's Clone Wars series is awesome but the CGI series is great in its own right too. You couldn't have had the CGI series without Genndy's series. It's a clear inspiration and direct spiritual successor. I also thought sequel of sorts but Genndy's series isn't canon anymore for some reason? Does it conflict somehow with the other series? He also openly bitches about doing the Hotel Transylvania movies over his own stuff (gotta say I got no indication from the trailers that he made them and they don't interest me AT ALL) and Hollywood not buying any of his original ideas. I'm sure that will do him wonders. Edited May 19, 2019 by ben0119 1 Quote

Jman Posted May 19, 2019 Author Posted May 19, 2019 I love Genndy’s work a lot, but yeah, putting an industry as insular as Western animation on blast where everyone knows everyone and all the people have the same style and play Dungeons and Dragons on the weekend where they can’t help but reference it in every show (as if the rest of the world gives a flying fuck about D&D) is a one way ticket to being blacklisted. 1 Quote
Blatch Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Well, here's a new trailer. They're stripping it like Tender Touches, which you can see as either good or bad. 1 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Huh, I was expecting twice the episode count. Still, what a way to celebrate my birthday week. 😁 Edited August 27, 2019 by PokeNirvash Quote
The1gairon Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Fuckin it's a miniseries and theyre gonna marathon it one episode each day for a week CHRIST!!!! *banging head on the wall* I suppose that was expected. I mean how much variety can you get when your main character is a caveman who can't speak? Quote
Jman Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 Preview is up on Twitter. 5 nights, 5 episodes, and therefore 5 times as successful as Korgoth! 1 Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Well that's...different! Perhaps they'll pull an Infinity Train and run a marathon of reruns of the first 4 nights on Friday, October 11th from 10 PM to midnight, then air the finale? If I'm right and Demon Slayer is coming October 12th, then throw promos for that in, maybe?? Edited August 27, 2019 by OwlChemist81 Quote
Jman Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 I’ll say this much, five nights, five episodes on old fashioned television seems like the sort of thing DeMarco would love. 1 Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) It'll be 11 PM for me, and I'll probably have to go to bed right afterward every night except Friday. Perfect. Edited August 31, 2019 by OwlChemist81 Quote
