Jman Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Mob Psycho II will never be on Toonami? Ever? Oof. Also, his worst take? FLCL sequels. Edited July 29, 2020 by Jman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) The same was said about MHA in 2017... The word "ever" was not used in the case of Mob Season 2. It was more along the lines of "No matter how hard we try". Edited July 29, 2020 by OwlChemist81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yeah. It sounds less "we're never gonna get it" and more "getting it is harder than even we thought". Here's to hoping they pull through with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly never cared in the slightest for FLCL, and saw it in the same category as Cowboy Bebop. Two shows that performed like shit in Japan but for some reason are regarded by older anime fans to be iconic. I was a bit curious to see the sequel series, but never got around to it, and probably never will cause I don't care in the slightest.

PokeNirvash Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hey, if they managed to somehow get Mob S1 - a.k.a. something relating to Crunchyroll - they can get S2, even if it takes a lot more effort than you think it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I just assume things between crunchyroll and toonami must have changed for them to be unable to get anything from them now They are in a partnership yet it doesn't really seem like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit curious to see the sequel series, but never got around to it, and probably never will cause I don't care in the slightest. Bebop was absolutely successful in Japan from its sales figures and general popularity. It's a stupid long-standing myth that it "failed" there simply because it wasn't the generational phenomenon it was in the English-speaking world. Likewise, I have no reason to believe that FLCL wasn't also successful, given that it was made by a super-popular studio at the height of their talents. It was still getting figurine merch as of a few years ago, and failed properties don't get that 15 years after their release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly unrelated note, I used to subscribe to this one guy's videos on YouTube, and they were all videos of various songs by the pillows, accompanied by either screenshots, official art, or fan art of FLCL (all featuring Mamimi, oddly enough). Even I'm surprised at the number of promotional drawings that were made for a mere 6-episode OVA, even discounting the ones that appeared weekly on the front page of the GAINAX website. If you're curious about the channel, you can't view it anymore. Got DMCA'd to hell and back, from the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a hated series and it didn't bomb; but it really wasn't remembered all that well. At lot of this I think stems from an interview Matt Greenfield did back in 2007 when he was talking about licensing anime in the 90s early 00s. Weird thinking back that like 13 years ago anime panels were simply a small room and talking across a table to people. Not a full auditorium where you need microphones. Pretty much he says that the Japanese felt that nobody would be interested in OVA series outside of Japan. As well I remember a lot of early anime boom weebs who went to japan around then talking about how nobody really knew what they were asking for on some of the shows that were popular in america like FLCL.

HardcoreHunter Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I did get a laugh that DeMarco didn't like FLCL prog/alt. He said it sucked. Never answered me though yet as to just "why and how". Like the staff at toonami had to have seen the progress of this. Yet they still hyped it up anyway with staff interviews and other shit leading up to the trainwreck. Also the fuck deleted my comment where I talked about how IGPX sucked and that he has horrible taste in music for hyping up his friends garbage 50 year olds hipster garage bands. Then shit talk successful bands like REM. Someone else called him on it though as well, but didn't bring up them being a hipster garage band or REM. Just said that he plays favorites with his friends music and that it's mediocre. He said that he has some bias. Also the coward won't answer questions about Isekai shows. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 That... doesn't prove that he hated Progressive and Alternative. Just that he was expecting people to bring up Progressive and Alternative as their personal picks for "worst take(s)", and that they came at him later than he was personally anticipating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I would say the issue in that case is that DeMarco knew the fan reaction was predominantly negative and accounted for it, more so than he personally hated it. Even if he did, I doubt he would admit it publicly. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tweet that I read that said Sorry it sucked, made me feel more that he didn't like it. Though I can't find it anywhere.Maybe he removed that one so it wouldn't hurt any working relationships. How I took it in though was that he more agreed with it. Everything else that isn't someone telling him what an amazing job he's doing is like a paragraph of him explaining himself. Like the music or videogames. Also there a quite a few Isekai and adventure series questions on there that he isn't even bothering to address. 1 minute ago, Jman said: I would say the issue in that case is that DeMarco knew the fan reaction was predominantly negative and accounted for it, more so than he personally hated it.

I'm guessing hate is a strong word, but for as much as he liked FLCL I think judging by those reactions that he wasn't enthused by what they received. At the same time though you're right and it may have just been him anticipating that fans would bring it up more/sooner than they did.
