PokeNirvash Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 What I'm hoping it is: 15-minute sneak preview of one of their anime originals. What it's probably gonna be: fucking Samurai and Shogun 2: Weeaboo Rick & Morty Boogaloo. 2 Quote
The1gairon Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 The bad news: I'm going to have to stay up unti 3 AM to see it. Quote

Although Junji Ito is also doing a thing so... And I would also say that it'll most likely be uploaded to their youtube channel some time next week for anyone who missed whatever the big reveal is.

katt_goddess Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 I don't have a DVR. I still have a slush pile of DVDs to go through and a paper list of shows I must make noms of via the Crunchyroll app. Quote
Ginguy Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Nah, it's lost footage where Maury reveals Jaken is the father.... 2 Quote

I still have a slush pile of DVDs to go through and a paper list of shows I must make noms of via the Crunchyroll app. I have a Chromecast and use that to record all the anime that isn't Naruto or that I don't already own on discs. Speaking of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, I still have some anime I haven't watched. Not much of a backlog, though. Mostly Patlabor stuff. I used to have the old Central Park Media DVDs of the TV series but have since upgraded it to Blu-ray. And that set includes ALL of Patlabor. The TV series, OVAs, and the movie. Quote
Blatch Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 My original guess was that this is going to be a really long music video, or maybe even two or three of them stuck together, but after having read through the thread, I agree that it's probably related to Space Jam. Quote

ben0119 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Mad Max looking world. The Grim Reaper and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Or was that the Devil since he rescued Adam and Eve and gave them an apple? Well it looked cool even if it made no sense. And Iron Maiden! 1 Quote

Reveal hidden contents Rick & Morty made an appearance in Space jam 2....so...yeah...there you go, enjoy the clip show. So what the hell was this surprise anyway?? Time to find out... From the sound of it, it was a very elaborate music video that wasn't based on anything Toonami aired and wasn't promoting anythign. Edited July 18, 2021 by elfie Quote

Some things are done for the exposure and not necessarily a big pay-off right now. I'll have to wait for the upload on the youtube channel to see things. I passed out shortly after the theme for 'Black Clover' finished. I thought for sure it was going to be the mini-thing with Space Jam 2 since that was about 15 minutes. Quote
Sketch Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Iron Maiden on Toonami. I never expected that but it is pretty rad. 1 1 Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Here it is, y'all: The video was posted 4 days ago, so Toonami did NOT get its world premiere. However, you can bet it was the USA TV premiere, as MTV doesn't play music videos anymore--not even at 3 AM! Similarly, other heavy hitters that Toonami has aired over the years, most notably David Gilmour's "Rattle That Lock", also were published to YouTube before they aired on Toonami. But that video got a month head start on YT. This video got a DAY. Edited July 20, 2021 by OwlChemist81 2 Quote
Jman Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Yeah, getting friggin Iron Maiden for the block is a definite win. 2 Quote
The1gairon Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Interesting. I don't recall Adult Swim or Toonami or Toonami Faithful ever uploading this to Youtube shortly after it aired, like what they do with weekly TV bumps. And I check my Subscriptions page every week. Quote
CountFrylock Posted July 20, 2021 Author Posted July 20, 2021 according to demarco Iron Maiden asked them if they wanted to play this music video why did iron maiden reach out to toonami? Quote
The1gairon Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 I guess it's a good thnig I skipped out. This is not the knid of thing I would watch on a whim Quote

They probably reached out to Adult Swim or maybe DeMarco directly because they were aware that AS aired animated music videos. 1 Quote

Maybe it's because of his... *sigh* "cred in the industry." And man, I can't believe Demarco finally took this off his pinned tweet! I could have sworn it was way older than February of 2021 too! Did they repost the article?! Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 So Iron Maiden reached out to Toonami, but JoJo defected to Netflix. 😢 Wasn't there a character IN JoJo CALLED "Iron Maiden?" If so, this is full circle! Quote
