OwlChemist81 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) While generally considered a long-shot for Toonami, in the absence of a FanDome event this year (which could still come in October after Housing Complex C like what happened with Fena last year), you couldn't come up with a cleaner plan than showing a dub premiere (?) of this September 24th, then following up with the rest of the series starting in November! Gundam at Midnight in 2022, why not? But just on the considerably-more-than-off chance that doesn't happen, it's good to know gundam.info has our backs! Edit: I hesitated to post this in the Toonami folder, but since it concerns a show that is a staple for Toonami, I figured it belonged here!

Sketch Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I have my doubts on that Gundam series dub being ready quite that soon but the industry is constantly striving for quicker turn-arounds so maybe it could happen. I'm pretty delighted to see the prologue won't be restricted to Crunchyroll. They might even stream the whole simulcast on YouTube. Oh man... IBO simulcast on Daisuki. Anyone remember Daisuki? I remember seeing a LOT of Gunpla ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Daisuki? Now that's a rave from the grave. I never used that service, but I primarily remember it for being the first streaming home of Cinderella Girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 They do have that Complex C showing in October, and it is pretty short from what I've seen, so starting with Gundam in November might not be that far fetched. Also there is TYBW floating in the ether around that time. If the financing were more secure, I'd say long shot goes to both those series for a winter line-up refresh with TYBW, Gundam, Yashahime to lead things off.

DangerMouse Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Yeah, if their financing were more stable given their big attachment to Gundam I could have definitely seen them make a big push for this. Like it was back when they got IBO and Unicorn. Edited August 27, 2022 by DangerMouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 IBO was a dub premiere, but Unicorn was not. I would say merely being on YouTube first doesn't preclude the chances of it winding up on Toonami too. Also I don't think Gundam The Origin was a dub premiere but I COULD be wrong about that!

PokeNirvash Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Unicorn and Origin were technically not dub-premieres, but they might as well have been, considering what Toonami aired were the TV recuts as opposed to the original OVAs.

OwlChemist81 Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 So it looks like I got a little confused. The MADE IN ABYSS Season 2 dub is coming August 31 to HiDive. Gundam: The Witch From Mercury DOES NOT have a dub announced yet. Also, with the series starting October 28th in Japan, its replacing Housing Complex C at Midnight is an even bigger longshot than I thought! That slot will PROBABLY go to MHA Season 6. https://en.gundam.info/news/video-music/01_8237.html Instead, I predict the following for the 1 AM timeslot Late 2022-Early 2023: Late October: Lupin wraps, replaced with Made In Abyss Season 2 early November. Gundam: Witch From Mercury replaces either that or Yashahime in early 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Crunchyroll is why you don't support upstart companies who break the law: they end up becoming union-busting conglomerates. However, that is the subtitled version. Toonami may still go through Bandai for the dub, but the chance of that happening has dropped from like 60-70% to like 25-30%.

Sketch Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 If it only streams on CR, that doesn’t bode well but if it also streams on YouTube and/or Hulu then Toonami should be able to get the dub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 They added the prologue to Crunchyroll and now we know the only place to legally stream the simulcast outside of Asia will be Crunchyroll. Gundammmit Between this and the recent movie it seems like CR buying RightStuf and Nozomi might in fact mean CR will be getting first dibs on Gundam series and films. Toonami still might be able to get series directly from Sunrise but maybe not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 So we can add Gundam to things Toonami no longer has access to, thanks to Sony and to a lesser extent Netflix. Wonderful. Bonus, Sony now has the licenses to the entirety of Robotech AND Macross through their buyouts and deals so Macross’ newfound US freedom means Jack shit to Toonami. If the Robotech movie ever gets made (big If, that thing is the Hope Diamond of Hollywood) Sony could theoretically just make Macross sequels. And don’t tell me the people who thought Morbius was a good idea wouldn’t make a Macross 7 movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Simulcast, yes, but let's see about the dub. Our best hope is that Discovery sells WB to NBC and then NBC also buys Sony.

Toonamiguy321 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Given his connections at Sunrise, I’m surprised Demarco wasn’t able to seal the deal on this. The timing is perfect for it to have started on 2/18. Best case scenario is they blew their wad on something of greater significance, and Gundams rough history on the block made it second choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Utena Gundam sounds like something that would appeal to the indie-"good taste" demographic. I.E. nowhere near as marketable as shonen or titty animu. Edited January 31, 2023 by MasqueradeOverture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
