3ngag3 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) While I'm happy to see this show on the block, I'm sure a lot of people will be insulted by the schedule when this officially airs. 11:00PM – Dragon Ball Super 11:30PM – Attack on Titan 12:00AM – Sword Art Online: Alicization 12:30AM – Lupin the 3rd Part V 1:00AM – Food Wars 1:30AM – Black Clover 2:00AM – Boruto: Naruto Next Generations 2:30AM – Naruto: Shippuden 3:00AM – Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin 3:30AM – My Hero Academia Edited June 27, 2019 by 3ngag3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 How do you go from first on the lineup to last? And when there's only like 5 more episodes? Lupin airs 4th? Is that a joke? Alright guys this is it, once Super finishes its run... Toonami is getting canceled. That lineup is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 the worst part is people act like we can change the ratings....unless you were selected by the nielsen survey you have no impact on any of this did everyone just forget that?

The1gairon Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 A few thoughts. - so THAT'S what is replacing Hunter x Hunter! Comes the week after the rerun of a requested episode. - I seen all the episodes released ..uuuh... not at all my favorite shonen. It isn't even close to my top favorites. So I'm not exactly looking forward to seeing the episodes AGAIN, only in English this time. It sucks that it's in the middle of the block too so it's not like I can skip it. Maybe I'll tune in to see who is voicing who. If they wanted to aim for the same problems, I would've at least preferred Fairy Tail. At least that has 300+ episodes dubbed. - As predicted by a lot of members here, the block is being pushed back a half hour back to 11.

Jman Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This schedule shows how much of a lame duck Toonami is as a block, more or less a guideline of what shows to watch on Hulu or Netflix or what have you. MHA was like...the one comic to get a boost from Avengers Endgame and it can’t bring in an audience because said audience has already watched it elsewhere. And now we have Food Wars, never seen it, negative interest, but it’s supposed to bring in viewers? I think it’s time we accept it’s the block.

PokeNirvash Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Putting it that way, it's more non-interest than negative interest. Non-interest means you aren't interested because it has nothing that appeals to you. Negative interest means you aren't interested because it has something that doesn't appeal to you.

3ngag3 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Listen. If we can tolerate this series on the block for however long its going to last, then perhaps the network will be willing to air another Sentai show which has much more of an appeal than a show about food. I am talking, of course, about Made in Abyss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 ya know i guess this proves the Hulu Deal really does mean Toonami's gonna be lacking new funimation content in the future i mean if that wasn't the case why they pick up food wars of all shows for the block?

Sketch Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This is legitimately surprising. I recall they showed interest during a Pre-Flight (where they did not realize it was dubbed yet) but having it on seemed like a pipe dream. They tend to avoid fanservice shows and haven’t picked up a series from Sentai since Parasyte. I was hoping Made in Abyss would be the show to put Sentai back on the menu but I’m all for Food Wars spicing up the lineup. I can keep going with these food puns all day, I assure you. I guess they found another shounen that will last over a year. That’s probably the main reason they got it. But it’s a bold move to be sure. They are taking a risk on a 50+ episode show that’s way outside their wheel house. I hope it does well but if it flops then it’s decent fodder for 3am. I am happy to see they can still surprise me with their show pickups. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the bright side, it's a Weekly Shonen Jump anime adaptation so it's not like it's guaranteed to be dangerously ecchi 100% of the time, it's directed by the GaoGaiGar and Brigadoon guy so you know it'll be some degree of fun, and when all else fails, there's always the gorgeously drawn cuisine to look at.
