At least Ballmasterz was good and had enough anime references to justify it being there. This show is (show name redacted because it doesn't exist) levels of bad. Quote
CountFrylock Posted October 7, 2020 Author Posted October 7, 2020 i wonder what jason demarco will say about this if he says anything Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I have mixed feelings about this. It does seem that the quality is up a notch from the April Fool's gag of a first season, but if they were always going to do this, why not grant the first season Toonami bumpers?? Also, Ass Class is kicking ass at 1 AM. Why mess with that!? Quote

They're 11 minutes, there are supposedly 14 episodes in season 2 so that will be 7 half hours. Seems like a fine way to give Black Clover a break until January. 2 1 Quote

The1gairon Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 I dunno. I was upset at Perfect Hair Forever when I saw it around 2008 because it had aired in place of an anime on Toonami at the time, which Adult Swim did not announce. Still sore about that. Quote
Jman Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) The best part of Perfect Hair Forever was Space Ghost trying (and failing) to do a round table panel discussing it. Edited October 8, 2020 by Jman 3 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 What most people don't know about the [as] Brain Trust is that it was meant to be a panel discussion on the Squidbillies pilot - hence why Early's there - but because the pilot was far from ready yet, they aired PHF in its place instead. The ambiguity of what the "program we just watched" even was helps with that. Quote

CountFrylock Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 i fail to see how this isn't being done because toonami had no other options....there's no way they'd put this on the block if it wasn't all they had availablle 1 Quote

EmpressAngel Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) No no, this can only be a secret conspiracy to hide the fact that they don't have any new shows!

Supposedly the second season will be much more of a show than the first season was. And an action adventure show at that. But this is far from the first time Toonami's thrown on a bizarre show. Pop Team Epic and Bo-Bobo for two. From Adult Swim's perspective, a show that's loaded with anime references makes sense for a block that contains many of the shows that are getting referenced. And the general Adult Swim audience probably doesn't appreciate Gamusetto, so they're experimenting with airing it on Toonami. It's a gamble but Adult Swim likes to gamble. 1 1 Quote
CountFrylock Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) i just don't think Gemusetto will be as loved as they are hoping it'll be BallMasterz Was one thing because it was being used as filler until Jojo Part 5's dub could resume but this is being used as an actual replacement for Golden Wind Edited October 10, 2020 by CountFrylock 1 Quote

ben0119 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 UGH, really? I have seen a little of the first season before, due to not changing the channel or turning the TV off fast enough, of course. It is obnoxious. And saying season 2 is "more of a show," isn't saying much. I doubt it's like Perfect Hair Forever, since that was actually funny. I just hope it's not speed-fueled like Ballmastrz was. You couldn't even follow that.

I don't care where the show was made. I don't think this portends that TOONAMI IS DYING either.

Well yeah it doesn’t really fit next to Japanese kids shows like Ass Class, DBS and Black Clover... because it was written for adult audiences. 🤣 Quote

It’s comedy straight out a Youtube poop or Tumblriffic “We have LBGTQ+ characters, you’re a bigot if you insult the show” like that abomination on SyFy. All you can do is not watch. Quote

Well in this case I was going off the assumptions that he didn’t care for the show or the type of humor being presented given the complaints being made about said show,, therefore not watching it and letting it get cancelled was preferable. This is also why Primal is such a big deal, but Genndy has earned the trust of his viewers over decades. Quote

PokeNirvash Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 THIS JUST IN: [as] just remembered Fire Force Season 2 exists, and have moved the premiere time for Gemusetto Death Beat(s) down to 2AM as a result. 2 1 2 Quote
Sketch Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Well that's kinda shitty honestly. That implies it will even be after Black Clover. So we're probably looking at this in November. 12:00 - Dragon Ball Super 12:30 - Fire Force Season 2 1:00 - Assassination Classroom 1:30 - Black Clover 2:00 - Gemusetto: Death Beats 2:30 - Naruto: Shippuden 3:00 - Demon Slayer Or... Black Clover does go on a break and SAO is ready to air (or something else). 1 1 Quote
PokeNirvash Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Shitty for live viewers, yeah. Me, I just record everything and watch it the next day, so as long as it's in there, that's fine by my flexible standards. Quote
Sketch Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I know several of you are on the fence or straight up don't want this show on Toonami but I implore you to listen to this conversation I had with Max. 1 Quote
Jman Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I have a significant distrust of Western animated writers for a while now. It’s always the most surface level parody made by people who despise anime and want it either destroyed or bent to their morals and standards. And it always looks like crap. Whiny, butthurt Twitter trolls trying to weave their way into streaming services and usurp the stuff they despise with their own crap, then shout “Racist!” And “homophobe!” when it inevitably flops on its face. Case in point - It is the wrong show, for the wrong block, at the wrong time. Quote
