The1gairon Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I really wish i was making this up. Toonami, you are kidding me. Why?? A whole new season is even coming out in Japan this fall!! I mean I had a feeling its time at 10:30 wouldn't last, but the END OF THE BLOCK!?!? How?? I really hope you realize just how popular it is!

CountFrylock Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 i heard people speculating this might mean toonami's not getting the 4th season and they are just cutting ties with funimation altogether now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 I dunno. The fourth season is a ways away. It's all the way in the Fall, and its only in Japan as far as we know, so maybe Funimation will make a dub announcement around then. It is way too early to make a call like that. That said. .... excuse me while I go destroy everything and everyone in my path. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Easily the hardest [as] ever shafted one of their anime since the dark ages of Geass and Moribito premieres in the 5AM hour.

The1gairon Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Whew. Wow. That building didn't stand a chance. Now to stay undercover underground. So. The best shonen on the block right now will get 150k in ratings, and I can no longer share the experience watching this show with you guys. In light of this, I will link to places you can legally watch MHA yourself at any time, instead! Cable sucks. https://www.funimation.com/shows/my-hero-academia/ https://vrv.co/series/G6NQ5DWZ6/My-Hero-Academia https://www.hulu.com/series/my-hero-academia-36e318dc-3daf-47fb-8219-9e3cb5cd28f2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm not even being pessimistic. Ratings are already in the tank with a schedule that makes sense. This makes no sense. Instead of Gate, Overlord, Re Zero, Slime, Shield Hero, Konosuba, Tanya, Goblin Slayer, OPM2, Mob2 we get.... More Lupin, More Jojo, more Gundam... and Foodwars. I've never seen a block decide to commit suicide before. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 It isn't even a rerun! Sure, you can watch the dub online in many places, but you're saying the only place on linear television you can see the dub will now bet at 3:30 when no one is awake!?!? It'S NEW EPISODES!!!

CountFrylock Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) another theory you could look at if you don't wanna believe it's being removed is that since there's only five episodes left in the season it's not as much of a priority to have upfront Edited June 28, 2019 by CountFrylock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 I think what REALLY makes me so angry is that this shows that DeMarco and crew no longer see any value in any Toonami show that isn't from the Dragonball franchise, putting all our enjoyment on these boards for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 This and Origins makes me realize something horrifying: The crew sees the back of the block as a hot place to watch premieres that is no different than the front of it! I mean no one's stopping us from staying up til 4, but you know from my past posts on HxH that I been having more and more difficulties doing that! The ratings for it are consistently the lowest the block gets each week at that time of the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'll come clean: as someone who just DVRs everything and watches it the next day (or several) anyways, MHA moving down to 3:30 doesn't really affect me as personally as it does the rest of you. But the reactions I'm getting, which rival my insensitively hyperbolic claims that Geass and Moribito being deathslotted in 2008 was "worse than 9/11", are just laughable. Or they would be, if the "CANCEL TOONAMI" crowd wasn't instead making it anger-inducing. Yes, this change sucks. But it's something we have to live with. I'm gonna live with it, and so should you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That programming attempt only works when you have a connection with the audience. Toonami no longer has that unique connection to the audience, and DeMarco's sanctimonious outburst on Twitter demonstrates why. They need to find a way to engage with the audience in a positive manner to build that relationship.
