The1gairon Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 And no. This WILL NOT air on Toonami. Apparently, Genndy didn't even want the 5th season of Samurai Jack on Toonami either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katt_goddess Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Random rambling thoughts... He's aiming for a coveted spot on the Sunday schedule which is the only place other than as a lead-in to the official Toonami block on Saturdays that could currently work for a new series of this nature. It needs targeted exposure in order to really take off with an audience and enough time to have steady episodes to feed that audience once it starts airing. However, I'm unsure about it's artistic quality fitting into the usual Sunday schedule. Things that tend to move away from Hanna-Barbara / Fox-like animations tend to end up pushed back into the night [ ex. Boondocks ] but Genndy's stuff does better in the 'daylight' of a schedule at least in getting itself established. It's not a weekday show unless he's gone back to doing 'shorts' ala the Cartoon Cartoon days of his start and therefore will have a butt-ton of new to put out there but if that's the case, [ as ] will end up blending back into CN with it's ad nauseum use of shorts on repeat to fill time cheaply.

OwlChemist81 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Final Space Season 2 debuts Monday the 24th at 11:30. Ostensibly that timeslot will just "roll over" to Primal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ngag3 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The first episode is up on Adult Swim's site for free if anyone wants to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgamer Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Seems like it's incredibly over the top, and not really in any good way. Genndy T.'s done some good work. Not sure I'd class this among them, based off first impressions. Good art/animation, I suppose. S'about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I think that it has potential. It's an attempt at storytelling without any words whatsoever. Even though Samurai Jack had it's silent episodes, it still had language as a potential. It will be interesting to see what it's progression is under those circumstances and whether it'll gain and retain a fan base. It's basically a picture book for adults.

rpgamer Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hey, I got no problem with the lack of voices. The silent Jack episodes/scenes were certainly masterful. But. Idk. I'm definitely just being entirely too critical, too picky, etc. It's not strictly bad. Just, not as classy as I had hoped, coming from him. But at the same time, I can still see why it is what it is. Like a strange blend of Samurai Jack and early Venture Bros. Specifically the Brock rampages. The violence is just borderline ridiculous. Might just be I had different expectations. First impressions were that it was sorta trying to take itself seriously. And then it busted out the buckets of blood and spears through skulls, etc (admittedly, was only able to catch the second half of the episode when I was able to catch it at all). It's a personal thing, but I just didn't feel like they were able to blend all the elements that they wanted very well. No words, good animation, sound design, so forth, all setting up for something to get immersed in. But then it just goes over the top with the rest (ok, yeah, I'm focusing a little too much on how silly the violence seemed), that, for myself, just took me out of the experience. All that said, I can still see how it's a fitting inclusion for [as]. Really, it kinda hits all the right weird notes for them. And I'm not opposed to seeing more. Just, didn't wow me right out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Watched the first episode after watching a review that hyped it up as a potential modern masterpiece. Yeah that was some good shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgamer Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Catching some of Ep 4 tonight. Eh. This still feels like it's basically less entertaining Brock rampages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 4 was decent, but 3... goddamn, 3 was something else. Also it's not about the rampaging. It's about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The art looked half-finished. Like the rough and choppy animation that you'd see in 3/5ths into the animation process before they added shading, polish, or anything to make it less like stitched-together drawings.
