why do so many of these characters suddenly have horrible looking faces?

I think it's a joke that so many of these HUC people are ugly and weird looking.  There's been old people and little people playing kids etc.

according to twitter next week will be a filler episode so we won't see this test resumed until two weeks from now

Announcer guy: We literally have a category for telling people they should be villians because of their physical appearance

 

 

Me:......well that's super fucking prejudice

I don't think that's an "official" category.  And there's plenty of people who look what would be considered "normal" and "attractive" that look like villains, like Bakugo and those students with the hats.

Crunchyroll just advertised Dr Stone on Cartoon Network. That will probably be coming to Toonami.

That's right.  Didn't Toonami form some sort of partnership with Crunchyroll?

Edit - yep.  So, Sony bought Funimation and severed their deal with Crunchyroll.  Then Funimation made a deal with Hulu.  Then Adult Swim/Toonami made a deal with Crunchyroll.  Hmm.  I think Toonami made this deal to make up for the loss of Funimation?  That's still a LOT of potential titles they are losing out on though.

So yeah just so you know guys, the remaining eps cover one last climax, one very entertaining filler ep that also serves as a commercial for the movie Two Heroes, and set up for the next arc introducing crucial new characters.  All this is important to know going into Season 4, so I would go online and watch them on your own time.

gen:LOCK is coming, and several of the episodes have wonky-ass run-times which MIGHT indicate that MHA is getting out of the 3:30 AM ghetto soon. Hopefully that happens before the important "S4 leader" material, but if not, there's always DVR too!!

Hold on. ..... Gen:LOCK's episodes don't have the same runtimes?!

That seems typical of RT. Making a web-based series that doesn't need to conform to tv standards, they can get away with it. Kinda weird (and I guess a little impressed) that they've pulled off a push to actually get on a network. Still salty about them moving their shows off youtube, tho.

The wonky runtimes are probably gonna get the first season stuck at the butt-end of the block so as not to run any premieres beforehand at a weird time. But then again, they've upset that before a bit with that Sand Whale & Me thing. I'm thinking it's just too enticing not to run a "giant robot hour" at the end of the block, which is why Gundam: The Origin is at 3 AM.

But that doesn't mean that gen:LOCK is necessarily screwed on arrival like this Gundam series is. I'd say if there's going to be a Season 2 world-premiering on [as], it will adhere to more typical programming standards. We could also see a marathon of Season 1 reruns before Season 2 premieres at some point in the future. It seems it would also be a logical co-production between Rooster Teeth and Toonami/Williams Street.

Depends. Wouldn't surprise me if every episode gets little cuts here and there to trim down the run time Idk, haven't watched it to really know what they could edit. Isn't it pretty normal (or maybe was, years ago) for a lot of anime to get a similar treatment, since JP show slots are just longer than ours or something?

Surely OPs and EDs will get cut from the middle episodes (2-7), but it's hard to do that with a runtime that's over 30 minutes. Might as well just leave it in and air it in a 45-minute timeslot as 3 segments of 10-11 minutes each, perhaps cutting the middle segment down to 6-7 minutes in order to throw in a video. They did something similar with Hellsing Ultimate Episode IV over 1.5 hours, padding a 56-minute runtime with 2 "extra" videos.

This will be very interesting to see what they'll do. Maybe they're rerun Pop Team Epic episodes to fill out the rest of the hour for the longer episodes. Of course that would delay whatever show follows it.  Or they'll just push shows a few minutes later or earlier in their existing line-up.
