PokeNirvash Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I'll be here for Black Out 2022 but won't comment live - may provide post-airing thoughts - and I'll DVR 2049 to watch some other time, probably a day where I actually have four hours of time to kill doing something besides listening to anime music on YouTube and hornyposting in a Microsoft Word file.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) This is kind of a weird block. It's like they used some Toonami bumpers, but they forgot to use them all the time. It also didn't begin with an intro by T.O.M. and S.A.R.A., but after Black Out 2022, a bump announcing 2049 is up next followed. It's kinda like on the edge of being Toonami and just plain ol' [as].

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Has Toonami ever aired an actual live-action movie before? I saw 2049 a while ago, so don't remember it too well and decided to watch it again to refresh my memory. I forgot Batista had a part in it, heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I don't think it ever has. Maybe a Batman Live Action movie back in the day? Other Toonamis over the globe HAVE aired live action, but not U.S. Toonami. But, as I mentioned before, I'm not sure this block actually counts as "Toonami" after all.

AnimationFan14 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Tom and Sarah and some proper Toonami bumpers seem to be missing or just the themed bumpers show up. Edited November 27, 2021 by AnimationFan14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time Toonami's aired a big live-action film since those two, and [as]'s first outright, as their only two live-action movies until now have been The Room and Black Dynamite.

Yeah, DeMarco said they were prevented from doing that by [as] because it would make the movie run too long. Pretty disappointing. I ended up deleting my DVR recording as I realized there was no real reason to put on a censored version with none of the Toonami flavor over the version on HBO Max... although they're currently caught in a controversy involving a censored version of Birds of Prey, so who knows about that, really. I did get to watch Black Out 2022, and I liked it. Interesting that Sentai did a dub of this, because I wasn't aware that it had one until now. And the Black dude who plays Nyanta in the Log Horizon dub voices the main character? Sweet. Also, in a nice coincidence, I just saw a tweet today featuring a screencap from Bebop that talked about a loss of all data from before 2022? Since this is a Watanabe joint, I have to assume that's an intentional reference. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess I was right about the Batman movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
