3ngag3 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Am I the first one to post this news here? Do I not have to get a thread locked again? Good. Never seen it, but looking at some ANN reviews, it doesn't seem to be that good. Guess time will tell.

stilgar Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Well, I certainly wasn't gonna post it because I don't care about toonami. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Well I'll be! A show I thought was a reasonable get. Not bad. This show is apparently the most generic, third-rate shonen you can think of... except it looks really pretty. And it's got some gore, so compare it to Attack on Titan if you must, but with worse writing. I watched the first episode and I didn't feel strongly on it, but casual Toonamites will probably lap it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now we've got two shows on Toonami that I was one and done on. We're kind of down to the B team of anime here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Obviously, this is replacing SAO at Midnight, and I'd say probably moving up to 11:30 in August once AOT S3 ends. I'm sticking with my prediction that they won't be rolling out a new show to replace AOT, which will fall to 3:30 AM for reruns, and depending upon whether or not they can leapfrog the Narutoverse hour, Gundam to 1:30 or 2:30 and MHA to 2 or 3. The future may be quite bright for Toonami after all!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Insofar as people are going to enjoy it, yes. It's anime comfort food; sometimes, all people want are the same time-tested tropes presented with all seriousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it's replacing MHA which has a small handful of episodes left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I can't say I'm too excited about this one. This seems like one of those "it's popular so of fuckin' course they'd air this" pickups that I've been desperately wanting them to move away from.

I’d say it feels like when someone’s parents hear something is popular, but another item has a similar name and is cheaper, so they buy that instead. “Oh, Transmorphers! That’s what my kid wanted!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm fine with it. I've been watching it on Croll and it is pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but very well done technically, with an accessable story and likable characters. I think it should do well enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Toonami FINALLY gets a ufotable show!? Amazing!! Also, it won't be replacing SAO--it's coming this FALL! Lack of timeslot isn't the issue, so perhaps it's dubbing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FATE franchise 1. may be under heavy legal red tape. 2. is waaaaay too long and involved to the point where the team may feel overwhelmed by it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) So, anybody know anything about this show? Is this the Hail Mary show that Toonami needed to stave off death after their wasteful indulgence on Origin, bad timing experimentation on Food Wars, and self-inflicted wound of death slotting My Hero Academia? And yeah it's coming in fall (I first saw this news from a Youtube community post by CabooseJr that said this,) so it's not replacing Alicization. I wondered if maybe they would replace that with GGO Alternative, and then that would fill the gap until Alicization Part 2 premieres, which is in Ocotober in Japan, but I dunno if that would work out.

It's an unusually well written shonen, I say unusual in terms of today's standards where most of them are harem oriented isekai garbage. This is one of the best new ones I've seen in a while, it's a bit on the dark side in some parts which fits well with what Toonami likes to air normally. The animation is also very good.

You know Demarco and his SURPRISES (which is terrible for promotion and people being able to catch shows,) or there's some ungodly red tape reason Toonami can't announce them yet.

DangerMouse Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Am really digging what I've seen of this show, looking forward to the dub cast announcement, probably once we find out when this fall it's going to start.

What do you wanna bet that Dr. Stone simulcast was supposed to be the big announcement, but since [as] and Funi are on the rocks (no pun intended) it fell through and ow they are scrambling for anything.
