The1gairon Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Maybe it's a Japan thing. Americans just emphasize the 6-foot rule, wearing a mask, covering your cough and sneeze etc, but never talks about getting tons of sleep. Indeed sleep is overlooked here in America for some reason. It's actually one good way to boost your immune system in addition to simply feeling great in the morning. Maybe they thought the Japanese would just always wear masks on their own since they been doing that on a routine basis for decades.

The compositing director going down with depression was the reason War of Underworld Part 2 was initially delayed. And I see on the bottom of this article it says SAO was delayed from April until July! Why did they wait until now to announce the delay?! They just had a trailer recently. I thought all the work was done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Toonami has new shows coming in 5/2 and 5/9 if MHA has to be delayed, but if they can't, I guess the one new show that would have replaced Demon Slayer, moving everything up 30 minutes, and a rerun in the back would suffice. And if that rerun is Cowboy Bebop, then so be it, but I think it would be better to bring back Promised Neverland for its last 4 episodes since it disappeared from the lineup for the Genndy Power Hour back in February. This is worse than the rights loss bonanza that hit Toonami back in Fall 2014 that saw both Batman and Star Wars go poof, as well I guess as Sym-Bionic Titan (if only they could bring THAT back for the Genndy Power Hour!). The only difference is that now Toonami has ALREADY cut back to 3 hours. But older shows they skipped over that have been out for a while could the way to address this.

PokeNirvash Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Sometimes I (or rather, /co/) am convinced that Demarco only picks some things up because of their tangential relation to Bebop. Sometimes it's sensible, like Shinichiro Watanabe producing the music for Michiko & Hatchin, other times it's too ridiculous to sanely comprehend, like "Gearless Joe looks a little like Spike if you squint and ignore everything about him".

Jman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I am expecting Bebop to return for better or for worse but perhaps not this soon. If all other avenues aren’t exhausted (or if PA bombs and scheduling tells DeMarco to knock it off with airing personal favorites no one will watch) it won’t air until the Netflix Bebop debuts. The second that debuts, DeMarco will air it in a prime time slot and go “this is the real Bebop!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies are costly and i think toonami would rather spend that cash on older anmies they skipped out on previously since they have no idea how long it'll before normalcy returns and they actually have a pool of new shows to shift through instead of "Everything's on hold" due to corona virus it would be a very bad idea to just have the block be movies or a mixture of tired old reruns and marathons...this is the new normal they shouldn't try to act like this is a temporary setback they'll shrug off very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anime dubs was what I was referring to. JoJo, MHA and the Madoka spin-off are all recording from home so far. Likely more will follow. A month is unlikely but I would not be surprised if anime production was mostly in full swing again in Japan in 2 or 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The world is racing to find both. I think the "Shadow Clone Jutsu" effect may even apply here. It may normally take 6 YEARS to develop a vaccine for an illness if a single company goes at it in a proprietary manner, but with like 12 different labs around the world conducting experiments and sharing data, this could get done in 6 months. I believe the business world, which has been addicted to trade secrets for centuries, is about to learn the value of open-sourcing information is speed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
