OwlChemist81 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'll give you that. But I don't think that was revealed as her indelible motivation for the carnage that ensued in Episode 11 until Episode 12, hence still the 2nd half. And it's at that time that Toonami wisely sank the thing at 2 AM, though it was a feast for the eyes! Origin will be great though. Just imagine Unicorn visuals with a story that actually makes sense! Music will be a bit different though, since it won't have the Attack On Titan-esque soundtrack of Unicorn and Narrative by Hiroyuki Sawano.

Ric Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Gundam and Lupin shows generally air late right? I might catch these two live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) If the schedule stays the same otherwise, and if they're replacing the shows that are ending the week before, Lupin will be at 1 AM, since it's replacing JoJo, and Gundam will be at Midnight, since it's replacing TPN Season 1. However, it isn't CERTAIN that will be the case, especially in the case of Gundam, since Hunter X Hunter ends June 22nd, and its still-unknown replacement on June 29th WILL shake things up!

Ginguy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Oh, so I guess Lupin will be spared the ignominy of banishment? Or is it that they know Gundam will fail so it is being per-emptively banished? Seems like a waste to get a new show just to banish it.  Also, FT would dominate in the front of the block. Start it from the beginning, have years to air it until new DB is made.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundam: The Origin would be the 4th. The two series, BTB and HU, eventually ended up getting a boost to earlier in the lineup (though BTB topped out at 2:30 AM), mostly due to good ratings. I'd be surprised if the same doesn't happen for this Gundam show at some point, like when either SAO (3 episodes left) or AOT (rumored to only have 5 episodes left) end. Just because it's beginning at 3 AM may not mean it STAYS at 3 AM. I could easily see Gundam: The Origin leapfrogging over the Narutoverse hour and maybe even Black Clover to land at 1 AM or 1:30 AM once a timeslot in the top half opens up. This could mean we're getting SAO's replacement 2 weeks earlier at Midnight on July 6th, but of course this is awkward as hell because we don't even know what show that IS! I also believe it's possible that the 3 AM promo gets retconned and replaced with one that mentions it premieres at Midnight or another earlier timeslot (with some shows being moved up). I cite JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders as evidence. At first it was to premiere at 12:30 AM to replace AOT Season 2, but Toonami's entire lineup got shifted forward by 30 minutes so it ended up at Midnight. Now 3 AM to Midnight would be an even bigger retcon but at least it wouldn't be unprecedented!

That said, it was a different time, and a different block. The block was longer then, packed with more shows, so airing something at 3 or later looks much worse now. Might have been possible they put it there to easier work around the odd run times? Everything after Hellsing was reruns.

Are you talking about watches as subs or watches as dubs? Some people will wait for dubs, some won't, some will watch both, others won't care. Anime is more popular and mainstream now, but I think dubs are still what gets the majority of casual, passive viewers, as you call them. Only reason I ever watch something subbed first is if it's a show I'm already following and I don't want to wait, but then I'll still watch the dub. Even then, I almost watched SAO and JoJo subbed after looking into them and recommendations from a friend, before they aired on Toonami, only for Toonami to shortly get them thereafter, so that was pretty good timing for me. I watched the later seasons of SAO subbed first though, and re-watched the dub on Toonami. For JoJo I've just been watching it on Toonami. But yeah we all know Toonami is a day late and a dollar short, Demarco constantly dropping the ball not just with show picks, but when he gets them. Maybe if he would prioritize what's hot over what he personally likes, like Gundam, things would go better. Although it's entirely possible they are getting the shows as quickly as they can, I don't know. Some shows we've seen have had very quick turnaround, like SAO and Attack on Titan. It would seem they aren't able to pull that off with every show, though. I know I don't watch a lot of stuff before it gets to Toonami because I don't have time (I have other hobbies besides anime,) or prefer to watch dubbed in most cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't die but it may shrink majorly. DBS evidently has to air premieres at 11 or earlier, since it was technically a rerun when it kicked off the block at 11:30 in 2017, but no other long-running shows on the lineup seem to have the same constraint, so I'd say it's likely it will get pushed back to Midnight. But MAYBE it won't. SAO, AOT, and MHA are all needing replacements soon, and maybe one of them will be the new show that "saves" Toonami?
