Space Jam ad?

Expand  

Honestly...I would say Bingo based on the last blast I got via e-mail. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

How the hell did Demarco manage to afford this?!

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.

still it's weird something like this shows up in a time slot most people wouldn't see it at

even  with Demarco informing us ahead of time this would be a special surprise....there are still people who have to go to bed before then for various reasons

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.

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.

according to demarco Iron Maiden asked them if they wanted to play this music video

why did iron maiden reach out to toonami?

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

just seems weird to reach out to an audience that's probably not that big outside rick and morty fans these days

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?!
