Toonami General #1

The best time of the week has finally arrived! Time to erase the sorrows of the past week with shit cartoons and a confusing long-runner.

Do you think the reason bleach's ratings died is because nobody except longtime fans know what the fuck is going on?

Because Memorial Day doesn’t have an effect on the ratings and it would be retarded to stop Bleach and BE a single week after they started.

Plus, even if they did do one, Lazarus still would have had to air a new episode

too much naruto & DBZ, not enough Sailor Moon

I doubt it otherwise One Piece would have been canned a long time ago. It’s probably just a matter of week one having an extra large hype wave and then people remembering that watching anime on cable is stupid so they drop it

Suffering

Had a super long meeting with management

Tasks shifting AGAIN

Car was hit by someone and insurance likely won't cover it because car is old, so it becomes a 8600 USD repair bill

Insomnia back at full force

catching up on Lazarus

FEMALES DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MONEY

so they let demarco have input on the scripts too?

Vigilantes on Toonami when?

Rick and Morty premier did excellent Sunday night.

No it didn't? It didn't get ratings as low as Toonami did last week but it got terrible viewership for being a season premiere of [as]'s biggest original series.

Holy shit did it really not last a year?

I don't feel any motivation to watch any anime or cartoons. I need someone to tell me what the good anime are so I make excuses to not watch them.

Starting Kai on Saturday was retarded. It meant Rewind already had schedule fatigue on day one. Keeping Kai on Saturday after Rewind started was even more retarded because then it was oversaturated

Naruto should have never been considered for a nostalgia block, especially in the same year we were finally gonna finish Shippuden. People were ready for Naruto to be gone, not start it over

The DiC dub of Sailor Moon is what people are nostalgic for, the redub using VAs that are in everything else sucks

5pm was too early for a start time. CST viewers were starting at 4. That worked when we were 12 and school ended at 3:30 but not for adults

Robbing Saturday of budget to function to make an offshoot block when Saturday was already having a hard time made no sense either

Jesus H. Christ, what the fuck happened?

It barely lasted half a year.
May 31, 2024 to December 27, 2024

That’s a based statement though, Demarco would never allow that

no, you'll watch shitty anime and you'll hate it

What were the ratings for it?

300k/0.15 is what it pulled. That’s the highest any show has pulled on AS all year. And that’s also contending with it being a Summer episode

What show is that? Valvrave?

Too much sexualization of the high school FeMC, Demarco would never.

drove 2 hours to a con

literally nothing except a vendor floor the size of a high school gym

dicked around in costume for an hour and then dipped

I did find pic related which is actually kinda useful

Literally 6 months. It was kinda psuedo dead already by December though when it was just burning through all of DBZ

you should know the answer to that already

300k and 0.15

It was a Summer episode though which probably hurt it. Tomorrow is a Space Beth episode so that won’t do much better

Retarded design, the phone would only ever flip over his head even laying in widescreen mode. Only thing I think would work is if you had an ipod mini. MAYBE. If someone could actually get their phone propped up with that I'd slonk their donk.

No, I don't. There's like 5000 mecha shows and I can't tell any of them apart. Honestly the first thing I thought was that it's an edit of Gravion.

Did you use the ball pit?

i can understand the first picture but if you can't tell what it is by the second image you might actually be a severe newfag to Anon Babble

Were there any half naked cosplay girls

i gave you two thirds of the title in the last image, try harder

Preview for tonight's Lazarus
youtube.com/watch?v=QbZeaVcN_Bs

I can't see filenames of spoilered images on mobile.

He asked for good anime though.

That’s the highest any show has pulled on AS all year.

then it's barely better than what toonami pulled the week before

The King of the Hill revival trailer leaked yesterday and it made me depressed. It was everything I didn't want to see happen to KoTH, while also not being extremely over the top bad enough to where people also refuse to acknowledge it as being shitty, instead defending it. The worst of both worlds.

Oh it's Pop Team Epic. Never saw that show.

block has one good night of viewership

yay Toonami is saved

You guys got a little ahead of yourselves huh

No one did. It's the same annoying shitposting that guy does constantly

KNEEL. APOLOGIZE. DID YOU SEND YOUR LETTERS THANKING DEMARCO YET?

or

IT'S SO OVER. IT'S TOONOVER

there was one week he pulled that doomer shit then the next started shitposting about doomers because the block got an update

it's in that image dingus

too bad, i said he's gonna watch shitty anime

I spent a whole year watching all of Gundam. I'm Bad Anime'd out for now.

This should air on Toonami.

kills Toonami

Thank him

Pop Team Epic's second season was even more experimental and crazy than the first. Also, animators flexing the fact that they could easily imitate old 70s and 80s style anime if they wanted to.

Fine

Still unemployed

Slept better this week

Friday I took my Nonna to the cemetery to see my Nonno for his 100th birthday, then the whole family had a fun party today.

Do you like her and her show?

Seems like we might know to many of their secrets

Legitimately, what secret does this group know?
I've been trying to figure this out all week

It was half Sailor Moon. It couldn't be more Sailor Moon without being entirely Sailor Moon.

i didn't say it was bad, i said it was shit, there's a difference

Not enough nostalgic show variety

Using the newer dubs to invoke a fake sense of nostalgia in the first place, most likely couldn't get the older dubs due to licensing issues

Doing it on Friday at 5 was good, but most employed people are commuting home from work by 5, and you put the only decent show at the front that they would miss it.

That pretty much covers it.

8600 USD repair bill

Literally buy a new (used) car at this point.

It was entirely Sailor Moon. They bought a new show and stuck it on a block marketing for nostalgia.

There are two Nielsen owners who watch Toonami and one of them watched WWE instead.

I started writing a comic and art friend who's made a bunch before has been giving me good feedback and advice on some of the part I've shown them

They also gifted me some Art of my OC on my birthday this week and a character I've been obsessed with since I saw them last year

It can't be that annoying when half the thread replies to it everytime.

Hope the week has treated everyone kindly.

Finally got around to watching the copy of Spy x Family s1&2 I pulled from my friend's digital library last time I visited him. Fun stuff. Anya is such a precious little shit. Though, it did make me wish all the harder that I could be with my lovely kitten and our kids...

No news on the seriouser fronts.

How goes for you?

That pisses me off so much. They could do it, they just don't.

The best half year of my life.

Id fuck her, sure. Id make love to the hacker girl.

Kneel to the funniest anime of 2024

SHU CEAM FUNKY LOVE

I like thinking about her doing lesbians with the hacker girl

The whole thing seems poorly written

in a rush to save millions of lives

uhhhhh I think we need to put that on pause for an ethics trial

Why is every girl gay in that show?

Anya is indeed a lil cutie

How goes for you?

The 3 day weekend was very welcome. Ended up sleeping half of Monday away, I think allergies are starting to kick in
A friend of mine is obsessed with getting a Switch 2 preorder. He's spent the last month (or two?) trying to get one, so I went with him to like every game store within an hour radius to see if any store anywhere still had preorders left - nope

not Nokochan

Boooooooooo

But they just found out the main girl works for skinner and is his ex lover. It makes sense they would think she is going to kill them after.

They can do it for a 12 minutes short, not a full anime season

Is wrestling happening tonight too?

nokochan

No form of comedy can ever top the laughs from this

I'm pretty sure it happens every Saturday night.

No they could easily do it for a full season. This isn't cel animation, it's digital, they just got better at imitating the classic look and faking the graininess of old cels. It's trivial to do. The reason they don't do it for anything but gags and references is because it doesn't sell as well as the modern style.

That’s the episode B plot. The A plot is apparently a pentagon investigation into the group with the blonde trap testifying

They've wasted most of their time on sightseeing and backstory exposition. They certainly don't seem like they're in a rush to save the world. They've made zero progress since the first episode.

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. Got mixed up.

Shaft was also doing it this season. They kept animating this robot like she was from a 60s Tezuka show.

It doesn’t matter, delusional retards will always find something to blame for the block doing shitty

every single mission they dress me up like a girl

well, I’ll show them!

All that matters is whether the Neilson box owners choose to watch wrestling over Toonami.

Does it?

They certainly don't seem like they're in a rush to save the world. They've made zero progress since the first episode.

Sure they did. Remember that episode where they epic pwnzor’d that icky dudebro tech CEO? That helped. Or what about that time they found a tranny?

I feel like Lazarus having a vast majority of the earth's population on a ticking clock until they all die was a big mistake. Because nothing about the setting or characters feels like this is a real threat that they are taking seriously.

I stand corrected. I somehow forgot about all of the super important moralizing so far.

Hi 7th Guest

Who?

guy announces everybody will die in 30 days

this is a credible threat

basically nobody reacts to this news and life goes on as normal

Meanwhile, in reality

a seasonal flu virus is hyped up as a super dangerous plague (if you are over 60 years old)

society shuts down and there is a massive shortage of various household items as people start hoarding

You guys start these threads an hour before you need to

They have started at the exact same time, every week, for the last 13 years, newfag.

Here are the next 3 Lazarus episodes
5/31

An inquiry is held at the Pentagon to determine the future of Lazarus where information emerges that prompts Schneider of INSCOM to hire an assassin.

6/7

Skinner's medical history provides a lead but requires entry to a private clinic. Leland takes Axel and Doug to his home to secure them an invite.

6/14

Doug and Eleina go to Islamabad seeking the elusive hacker but are pursued by INSCOM. Meanwhile, Axel gets into a chaotic fight with the assassin.

6/21 episode description will be up in a few hours. Show ends on 6/28, so we will get a major hint on how it ends next week

What do we think? How are they gonna wrap all this shit up?

No. I like my car. That cost sets me back six weeks but I should recover.

Why the fuck do they spend an inordinate amount of time chasing hackers?

They have started at 7:50 since 2012, we ain’t changing now

Just because you have always done it, doesn't mean it wasn't always too early.

There's been seven episodes already. These three are once again Nothing Happens episodes. They have THREE WEEKS after that to resolve this fucking chase.

hire an assassin

I wonder if it will be like the one in Fena that is teased but never shows up

seeking the elusive hacker

That sounds HAAAARRRDD COOOORRRREEEE

lmao I love how everyone lost their shit, dropping food, having panic attacks. And then he just never shows up lmao

if you are over 60 years old with severe preexisting heart or lung issues*

and maybe the governement just told most people it was a hoax?

three weeks

2 weeks. The show ends on June 28th

We've been here longer than you have, if you don't like it, leave.

people just blanket trusting the government

You might get some retards with that but there would still be a huge group of people who take it seriously

Yeah I agree. There would be mass panic and chaos if everyone thought they were going to die imminently, yet all we are shown is society going on business as usual.

Maybe they should've done a little worldbuilding to indicate it then? Like, something as simple and brief as a news program playing in the background downplaying the Hapna thing as a conspiracy theory, and the Skinner video as an AI deepfake. Would've been timely, even, and we know how this show likes to do that shit.

We've been here longer than you have,

You've only been here for 10 years you retarded newfag.

Lesson 4: Pay your respects.

I've been here since Anon Babble first existed, but Toonami General has been here since 2012. So you're wrong on both counts, dumb newfag.

Would do jackshit about it except be labeled as nutjobs by the people around them.

Welcome to Japan. Bossman still needs you to come in this week.

Shit, you're right. Last week was episode 8. If Episode 9-11 are nothings, then Faggitman probably paid for a two parter finale on Ep 12-13 just like Bebop.

Man, Bleach fucking cratered.

All of the originals just have a rushed one-episode finale. This won't be any different.

Yeah but they are traveling all over the world, it's the same everywhere.

goes from cold and standoffish to cheerful in a second

Wtfs her problem

Anon, who do you think wrote this show?

Where the fuck is the next MHA season? Don't tell me DeMarco deliberately missed the boat to get Bleach.

youtube.com/watch?v=R189-YSWvsY
What do I think of this?

CR has it and they do not work with us anymore.

Man, I remember when people (read: idiots) were saying Lazarus was going to save the block.

We are lacking a lot of world building. The way they built the team in episode 1 was retarded

Have to wait and see. Will be weird with Dale having a new VA.

jojobrony chimes in with something completely devoid of humor

Many such cases

They presumably skipped worldbuilding because "Oh we don't need to build a world, it's Earth! In the near future! So everything's the same!" which is the least of their fuckups.

Damn, what the fuck?

completely devoid of humor

That's the joke.

I think I saw Denda in the credits

I'll say it again.

Just because you have always done it, doesn't mean it wasn't always too early.

Retard newfag.

People say that about every new show we get.

MHA is a Crunchyroll show so they can’t get it

One Piece never had high ratings on the block to begin with and it HAS been canned before. Bleach just didn't maintain its hype.

There was one Lucy and black miku

I mean, they skipped developing the characters too. I have no reason to care about any of our main cast.

people tune in for Bleach's first episode because of nostalgia

no one comes back for Bleach's second episode because nostalgia is all it is and the actual show just isn't very good

Give me a more reasonable explanation.

so disconnected from toonami that i missed the first 141 posts

bros?

If you are correct, it means Toonami has no future. Bleach was one of the biggest things they could possibly land. If that’s not getting the job done, nothing will

the actual show just isn't very good

that's where you're wrong kiddo

Lucy and black miku

pics?

You mean entire episodes devoted to backstories wasn't enough to make your care about them? Maybe spend less time shitposting and more time watching the show.

Nah, that's pretty reasonable.
The show was alright, but that's just kinda it.

It has no future. Its a cable block, and cable was dying before streaming...

black Miku

Thin and smooth skin? Or weeb nog?

Bleach is easily one of the most engaging things we have gotten in years. I think it’s just a problem of people being able to stream it at their leisure on Hulu

Interesting tidbit - you can NOT stream Bleach through AS like literally every other show they have ever had. So if the cable run bombs there is zero hope for it recovering costs elsewhere

None of the viewers had any idea what was going on because their memories of Bleach were vague since the last time they've likely watched the show was when it last aired on Adult Swim which was a long time ago and just dropped it after that because they aren't going to re-watch the entire show to understand the story.

AXS has the rights now and they restarted from Season 1.

entire episodes of backstories

in the last quarter of the show

Maybe should have knocked those out a little earlier

This is a retarded theory because sub watchers also had a 10 year gap between the last episode and the first of the new season.

One of the actual biggest things they could land would be JJK.

It means there are hundreds of thousands of people with cable that might watch Toonami if it was good, but chose not to watch week after week. Don't blame them.

The most widely disliked "hype moments and aura" anime of the last 5 years?

Most Toonami viewers are dub watchers, idiot. And dub watchers are more casual than sub watchers.

That’s why I said “one of” not “the”. Yea there are some bigger things, but any held by Crunchyroll are never happening

He shows up at the very end of the show during the ending montage and they give him the sword. You know, THE sword they started their journey to get that ended up not mattering at all and was just a footnote in the end, just like the assassin guy was.

Look, I don't even like that trash, but it would be considered more of a big deal to acquire than Bleach. I would also mention Chainsaw Man, but I've heard it's anime was a bad adaption.

Fuck off.

The thing I dont like about Bleach and most anime in general is they explain shit thats clear as day.
Some guy will be kicked in the ribs and then it cuts to 3 different characters and they say

OMG he was kicked in the ribs

And then a guy with glasses chimes in and is like

Haha yeah, he was kicked in the ribs by the GOOGA technique. AH its so powerful idk how he is still standing

Like DUDE I SAW im not fucking blind, let me just watch the goddamn fight

Hey what the fuck you got a fuckin' problem?

Bleach is a Toonami legacy staple, it holds more water here than JJK. Especially since JJK is Twittercore slop for zoomers. They only care about the most recent chapters trending memes, they wouldn’t care at all if the 2022 first season of the anime aired on cable.

Anime like Bleach are made for kids and it needs characters to explain a scene or action so they kids won't get confused.

So what is a show made for kids going on an [ADULT swim] block after midnight?

Too many long runners. Should have had at least something that was just 26/52 episodes like G Gundam. Could have also rotated some of the shows. One week is DBK, Naruto, SM; then another could have been some shorter shows. Might have been a bit tough since they would have to probably grab shows that may not have HD quality, but that's kind of the point with the whole nostalgia angle they were going for.

Because Toonami was made for kids. And as long as Demarco is in charge, still is.

What do y'all think of my wife??

Brain damage

FUCK ON!

Even zoomers don't like JJK anymore

Short obscure shows like that would have made it look like an offical Toonami Aftermath block. The only thing that they could get that could draw interest are their big long running shonen. But they've been running them nonstop, so it wasn't much of a novelty. Toonami IS the nostalgia block. Making a second one was retarded.

Because shows made for kids in Japan can pass as adult material in America.

Demarco is an idiot and only wants to air kiddie slop

Pretty average. Family had a little picnic on Memorial day, and a belated Easter for the kiddos since some of them were disappointed we couldn't do much back on Easter day proper due to conflicting schedules. Got a bit of sunburn on my arms, but thankfully not bad enough to make them peel, just feel rather toasty for about a day and a half.

Meh. She looks sexy, but that's really it. Even with her past revealed, just doesn't really do anything to stand out. If some decent rule 34 gets made, might fap to it, but that's about it.

If some decent rule 34 gets made

lol
lmao
This show won't get shit for R34 except maybe some AIslop.

Man it's still just doing that shitty episodic formula with faint progression. There was no passion or interest put into this show at all. That's really fucking bad. This is around the point of the show people would've expected a new angle take over and things "kick into gear", but it's literally just the same. exact. shit. Just cat and mouse games. I can't fathom a human being on this planet ever rewatching this boring shit. Good news because it'll undoubtedly get pushed in another, full marathon, and a rerun slot.

It could have worked if it had been a bit more varied to draw in people who are more casual watches to CN, maybe not guaranteed success, but at least lasting a bit longer. Having three long shows (even if DBZ and SM aren't anywhere as long as Naruto) is gonna put off a lot of people who might not be sure if they commit to dropping in every week. I get they were also limited in their options since some of the old shows were ones that probably wouldn't be able to fly on the more restricted hours Rewind was on, at least not without remaking or possibly recovering the censored versions of certain anime like the ones made for Tenchi, Outlaw Star, etc.

Demarco used to air more mature content before, they just don't have the budget to get the childish crap that draws ratings (because people are retarded) and also other shows too. We're lucky to have 2 premiers at a time.

She looks sexy,

lol people care so little about this show they didn't even pick up on the fact she's had lots of plastic sugery for identity purposes (and yet she's still kinda ugly lmao)

So get something not for kids. Maybe a nice ecchi.

demarco

ecchi

The surgery stuff only just came to light though, nothing was hinted about that beforehand other than she was more guarded about her past than the others. Even then, the flashbacks make it feel like the most that was change was just hair color and possibly some other features, but we'll probably never know what her original face was like because a lot of anime pull that shit where a character gets a makeover but refuses to show the complete differences in the character's original appearance.

We almost got Yuri on Ice if his higher ups didn't put a stop to it.

Sadly this, the faggit man would never have the balls to get anything even mild, let anything anything spicy.

Horny slut

The surgery stuff only just came to light though

yeah and that post was made 13 minutes ago, enough time to take into account that she's had sugery to alter her appearance when talking about whether she's sexy or not. but people don't care about these characters at all no matter how much they'll try to insist "she actually ain't that bad?? bros...??" while having paid zero attention to anything going on with the character beyond visuals. they know when a character is in a bikini and 2 women share a bed because that doesn't actually require paying attention (listening) to these terrible characters and their stories and who they are

you've shown more awareness about what's happening with her than anyone else outside that night with the actual commentators

Yuri on Ice is a yaoi show

How drunk do you get on Toonami nights?

I know.

The only parts that matter are her being in a bikini and possibly having lesbian sex with the hacker

Islamabad

This sounds like a fake name, and yet it's actually real, the fuck

Are we not doing Fate threads on Thursday anymore? It's fine if we're not, but someone should have told me.

How young are you?

Chill out

Season ended, didn't it?

What? I'm just saying it sounds like the kind of name you'd hear in something like South Park when they make fun of a middle-eastern country

They went straight to Season 2. Premier was only half an hour long.

I used to get completely wrecked every Saturday. As the block started to decay in quality, it became less fun and I just felt like an alcoholic. These days, I barely can finish a 12 pack per day

Like 2 people show up for them. Just make the thread yourself if the other guy doesn't show up.

stop pretending to care about shit on the block because it makes your penis sing

Hardly pretending

You sound like you only just heard about it. Anyone older than 20 should have heard about that city plenty of times during the war.

Thoughts on Live Action Chopper?

That's probably been a blessing on your liver

Most that ever came up was just the usual "IRAQ IRAQ IRAQ" or shit like that, can't recall any time that place coming up, and doesn't change the fact that the name sounds almost like a parody of a real one

It's also less fun getting drunk in silence in preparation for the block, which is only two slots worth watching on a good week. It was more fun trying to drink without overdoing it and passing out before 6 AM.

Don't blame Toonami for anything tied to your shitty lifestyle.

Looks interesting, though I can imagine they're probably going to severely reduce his battles even more so than the manga/anime have since this Chopper is probably costing a pretty penny just to animate in his brain point form, can only imagine how things will go once they get to his other forms and that's if the show even lives enough to reach something like Monster point

I'm sure you must be the pinnacle of health. I drink for one night but Anon Babble the rest of the week. You are a fat fuck everyday of the week.

When was the last time someone called Chopper by his full name?

By the sound of it, Toonami getting worse has actually improved their lifestyle

Not as horrifying as I thought it would be.

crying about not finishing 12 packs of beer "per day" anymore

defensive about other people definitely always being worse to suddenly make yourself feel better

im sorry your brain is fucking melting because it can't support the shit you do to it. fyi lots of masturbation will give you brainrot too so try to cut back on that and let your brain be a little happier

same kinda style as live action sonic desu

sonic, detective pikachu, and now chopper. who's next.

It usually gets mentioned whenever his wanted posted is brought up, and he does tend to introduce himself by his full name, but it's definitely not as much as Luffy or Zoro or Robin. Hell, pretty sure even with Sanji's family name now know, that only comes up every now and then given his rocky family relationship. Curious if we'll ever get family names for others like Usopp, Nami, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe.

A 12 pack a day is barely anything though. Thats 2 per hour if you get off at 5 and go to bed by midnight

Thats 2 per hour if you get off at 5 and go to bed by midnight

Maybe try drinking some fucking water dude jesus christ.

How do I get an Orihime GF?

to eventually poop it back out

yummi

Buy bread.

Beat up ghosts

I drink water at work cause they don’t let us have beer there

Have black women singing about how your number one

Monologues from the characters at the beginning doesn't count.

Sadly any equivalent woman like this in the real world, even just speaking hypothetically, are progressively being corrupted by it and disappearing. Even Japan seems to be feeling the effects even though they still hold traditionalism close to the vest. But that doesn't mean it's some "sexy tradwife safe haven" like shitposters online and politicalbrained western commentators who watch anime will have you believe.

Again that's just hypothetically speaking anyway because obviously 2D > 3D and you're not going to find a Orihime.

They would have if they actually had relevance to the episode, like little glimpses into the character before the whole episode focused on them. As it were, it feels like they got tacked on last minute to pad out the pre-opening segments as if the writers were like "shit, we need to quickly hint at the characters taking the drug and imply they have sad backstories instead of just letting their focus episodes do the job"

I'm 2/3 through a bottle of crown rn

Common Side Effects was better than Bleach.

I'm honestly surprised Rukia hasn't appeared yet, it's like they're showing constraint to not force all the characters everyone loved into the first couple episodes and trying to let it flow naturally.

Alcoholics Anonymous is there to help

They're scooped up by capable stoics.

its like paddington went through some hard times

My friend called him Anthony Anthony Helicopter.

That's what happened to him after he announced his next movie was looking to use AI when people's hate against AI has never been stronger, and all that loveable charm about keeping the top rottentomatoes score warm dried up and everyone hated him.

Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi on Toonami when?

Once again proving that people here somehow manage to have worse taste than even demarco.

Ninja what now?

I stopped drinking on Toonami nights because it was causing me to shit in my pants a disproportional amount of them

Went to a con last week. My friend said he had an extra ticket but when I got there he said the ticket fell through so I ended up paying full price. They had a Studio trigger panel tho with a couple of the artists who animated Dungeon Meshi there. That was pretty cool.

Her endgame?

alcohol stopped effecting me

3 month break didnt help

started smoking weed

cant remember toonami nights

wasnt sure i ever remembered then before

did i waste my life building it around watching an anime block?

They picked the versions of the shows they had lined up people werent nostalgic for.
Nobody is nostalgic for blurry smearjob redrawn dbz kai or non dic sailor moon.
They had no variety for this thing either, just dbz, sailor moon and naruto. Thats all fine and dandy but maybe they shouldve yanked one episode of kai and stuck a show that hasnt aired since the 2000s in there.

no but you wasted it building it around THIS anime block

You wasted your life with substance abuse

DiC Sailor Moon was fandub-tier censored trash and non-Kai DBZ is filler hell on top of being a bad dub with shit music. they picked the best (and thankfully, only) versions available.

Thats all fine and dandy but maybe they shouldve yanked one episode of kai and stuck a show that hasnt aired since the 2000s in there.

They probably didn't have the budget for 4 shows.

I wouldn’t say I was abusing anything

The argument isnt about them being good or not. Those are the versions people have nostalgia for

Are any of the Zoid anime on BD? That would have been neat. Granted that was like "midpoint" Toonami as opposed to "early" which seemed to be the theme they were going for with Rewind especially with Dragon Ball Z Kai and Sailor Moon. Of course, wouldn't shock me if someone's just sitting on the Zoids license and doing fuckall with it

If people are nostalgic for over-exaggerated voices instead of the show themselves, they never actually cared about the show at all.

This

Of course, wouldn't shock me if someone's just sitting on the Zoids license and doing fuckall with it

It can barely get a pulse in Japan anymore.

Why would they have aired DiC Sailor Moon when standards are airing anything in HD, and they'd have to manually redo all those episodes with that dub after getting the rights to perform that on the episodes just to air them a couple times at best?

Demarco hated Zoids. It was a show the network was forced to air and he knew it was cheap toy pushing slop and didn’t want to air it

Correct. Most people wouldn’t give two shits about these shows if they didn’t grow up with them. If you are gonna do a nostalgia block, do it right

Every time they try these blocks out it's when I'm at work so I miss them entirely. Adult Swim starts way too early these days, I pretty much don't get a chance to see normal CN between the toddler shit in the dead ass morning hours before leaving & AS starting as I come home.

That's funny. At the time it aired, I remember Zoids being the only good show on the block at the time. Demarco has always been a faggit.

Who cares what Demarco thinks? He thought FLCL sequels were a good idea.

Why would they start a nostalgia block if they weren’t willing to put in the effort to do it right

And I should care what the faggit man hates, why?

Why start a new block at all when they only bought one show for it

Because Demarco chooses the shows and won’t air something he doesn’t like

Demarco should be shot and killed for raping Toonami.

They bought 3. Yes, they had to relicense Naruto

What about all the high quality originals he has made?

Not him, but the point was to just run "old shows" that are nostalgic by virtue of being old. Yes, Kai is only like 13-14 years old now, as is the Sailor Moon redub, but both anime are much older than that.
But as pointed out in other posts, they really should have sprung for a few shorter shows instead of just three 100+ anime that would require a lot of commitment from viewers to stick around for, especially on a once-a-week basis

Hate him all you want, anyone else in charge would have raped it far worse. It might not be as good as TOM 2 era Toonami was, but at least it's still recognizibly Toonami.

DBZ Kai and Part 1 Naruto don't count.

>But as pointed out in other posts, they really should have sprung for a few shorter shows instead of just three 100+ anime that would require a lot of commitment from viewers to stick around for, especially on a once-a-week basis

If they did that, the block would have been DoA instead of after 6 months.

we went 4 months without talking about dragonball once
thanks assholes

and why don't they count?

Both of those were purchased for Rewind. You may not like them, but they are Rewind expenses

I fucking hate you. I fucking hate the insinuation that things cannot change and if they did it can only be for the worse. I haven't watched Toonami at all in months thanks to this status quo.

I would imagine it was probably an attempt to bring back a semblance of Toonami's original format, even if it was still confined to a single day as opposed to being every weekday. If they had just gone with shows that were shorter, even if it meant rotating the lineup every now and then, that might have helped things. As it were, it was just yet another repeat of DBZK, Naruto, and one show that actually hadn't been seen in ages.

sounds like you're just intentionally trying to turn this into a "thing"

Because I've already watched them. I hadn't watched Sailor Moon.

I don't get drunk, I get high

realized im old and i care more about lawn care than i should

rained for like 9 days strait

didnt mow for like 4 days before the rain

couldnt mow for shit

almost 2 weeks of no mowing and the blades were 7-8 inches

break in the weather

few hours of the grass whip

few hours of mowing with a reel mower

need a rest

.accidentally sleep for 13 hours

rain is back and the lawn is only half done

Dragonball is the greatest anime and manga ever made that no other show will ever be able to beat no matter how hard they rip it off.
Really we should just ban all anime and murder their creators for failing to be better than Dragonball. Only the strongest media should be allowed to exist in this world.

did too good of a job at my work and now i've accidentally become one of the most important people there; and it's destroying me physically.

got paid more than usual though and used it to buy a pizza.

The entire gimmick of the block was replicating the old after school feeling for millennials. Kai and Viz SM fail at that task. Naruto does too, but only because it never actually aired after school.

On this matter, here is another reason it failed. They didn’t bring back the classic TOM animations. They just used current TOM. The Kai bumpers were even recycled from Saturday. They wanted to nostalgia pander and put zero effort into it

Maybe, maybe not. Shorter shows would have at least been easier to wrap up and swap out for another short piece. And while they were initially trying to recapture nostalgia with shows that had been on Toonami, I'm sure plenty of people would have been fine with non-Toonami library shows, just as long as they were things that aired in or around the same time as the starting lineup. Could have been a pretty good way to justify older shows that Demarco otherwise doesn't care to bother with for the main Saturday block.

Anon, it's been 13 years and things have only been consistently downhill for 10 of them. Cable is dying and they don't have the budget to do a turn around now even if they wanted to. The only hope left would be to air obscure old anime, but Demarco has no interest in that and doesn't even want to go to Sentai for obscure current anime, let alone ancient shit.
Anyone who doesn't want Toonami to get better has no soul. Anyone who still thinks there is hope has no brain.

Retard.

You're overthinking it, you should be not watching it because most of it sucks.

The main problem with this is they were clearing splitting the budget between two blocks. Keeping up a Rewind show cycles never would have been financially viable. If they did it, we would probably see similar to what we are now, where the Rewind shows get dumped on Saturday as schedule filler to help lessen the cost

Can you tell me what you're watching instead of Toonami so I can have anime recs?

only hope

old anime

The only thing old anime is good at is evaporating the audience even faster

oh god its going to be this stupid conversation again

No. This isn’t a request thread. I do not, and never will, spoonfeed retards

I'm not a retard.

They should air Panty and Stocking after season 2 ends this summer.

What you nerds doing

I watched The Saga of Tanya the Evil this year and really enjoyed it. In another life it would have been a perfect fit for Toonami.

Fifty-nine minutes until Toonami starts, what have you been doing to pass the time? Helldivers and Minecraft, did get pic related in the mail, holy fuck is there so much merch for Seed and Destiny, but goddamn do I love Luna and from the set I bought, I got two Gladys and not Murrue, so fuck me I guess. Also got a Tifa figure that's been from a discontinued line, found out she has weak as fuck ankles.

Panty and Stocking with creampuffs
There I just saved toonami

I wonder if I should watch Lazarus or just the first ~35 minutes of Wall-E on freeform (it starts 5 minutes ahead of midnight.) I mean I'm not going to miss anything big in Laz.

Isn't that show really jingoistic and full of loli fanservice and Mary Sue bullshit?

Demarco's a fag who would turn down a free show twice.

Gundam should be a bannable offense outside of Anon Babble.

I mean, it lasted half a year. If they had just been able to keep up interest with a rotation of classic anime while using the main block for newish stuff, it could have worked. Of course, that would require CN playing nice, and that channel has been going downhill even worse than nu-Toonami

It's a very standard straightforward 2010's isekai, yes.

Demarco had his shot at airing it. That’s gone now, it’s a Crunchyroll forever off limits show now

Either gonna fap or play some Armored Core, need to get through that level where you descend through a giant underground base, and there's some faggot named Iguana or whatever

Yeah, not interested. The only ones I've liked are Konosuba and Rakudai Kishi No Cavalry.

Do you think that streaming becoming so shit in recent years has somehow stopped cable from dying?

Was piddling away in Vintage Story.
Dunno if my wednesday group will want to play more, one has said he hates the game and hasn't logged in to our server that I know of.
Another can't figure it out, and similarly, hasn't logged in.
The remaining three did help do the resonance archives dungeon last week...
But, I'm just kinda building roads. Finally reached the treasure hunter trader, and found out the next dungeon is basically 7,000 blocks the other way.

There is basically no fanservice at all. And Tanya acts so much like a man you never even want it

He's a one-off loser, forget about that guy.

What, did Gundam fuck your mother for you to be such a little bitch?

It only last half a year because they had to get the most money they could out of those licenses. Realistically it probably would have been canned by the end of summer if they were able to

After an extra 2 weeks of waiting I finally got my copy of Capcom Fighting Collection 2, but for whatever horseshit reason the mail carrier left it on the porch instead of the mailbox.
Great fuckin' idea with all the rain we've had lately.

What's Armored Core?

The jingoism is the point. It's not very Mary Sue because literal God doing everything to screw up her plans is the whole plot. It's very edgy in the same way Helsing Ultimate and Akame ga Kill! were.

No. Shit tier streaming is still leagues above cable

Kind of hard to do when he's being a speedy faggot zooming around the room so much

Mech series, not quite as fast as Zone of the Enders, but not slow like Mechwarrior/Battletech

Then use the Zimzams, and you'll stunlock him for most of the fight. God I wish they didn't allow enemies to get out of stagger whenever they wanted, makes running the pile bunker feel like ass.

don't usually drink but might savor a little bourbon tonight
about as good as can be expected, have we seen Robin in costume since the casting was confirmed?

No, it isn't. Streaming is just as bad, if not worse. The only thing good is pirating.

No, I'm a firm believer that specific franchises should have a Global Rule 15-type treatment where they get shoved in a ghetto and never allowed out. Just like Anon Babble ghettoed Touhou, Anon Babble ghettoes Kiseki, and Anon Babble ghettoed Super Robot Wars.
Then we pump nerve gas into the boards and murder all the weak franchises so only the strong Aryan men survive in my Reich.

Alcohol doesn't cause incontinence. That's an unrelated problem you have.

Never played any of those four franchises. Are there any that I can play on PC? I don't have a Playstation.

Being too drunk to get to the toilet is though

Never. Too many female characters.

The jingoism is the point.

I doubt that. I'm pretty sure it's impossible for narous to be self-aware without being self-indulgent.

Akame ga Kill

Do you actually think that anime is good?

I said edgy not good. Learn to read.

Yeah. Take your fucking meds schizo. A lot of your examples have plenty of cross-board posting.

Thoughts on Rick and Morty season 7?

Pretty sure only the most recent AC game (which is actually the 16th despite being only numbered 6) is on PC, anything else would have to be emulated. In the case of Zone of the Enders, only the last rererelease of the second game is on PC, which is a bit lame since the original was ported to PS3 and pretty sure it can be played on PS4/PS5 and the Xbox systems, but that's Konami for ya.
MechWarrior/Battletech is all on PC since that's where it began, though the series is a lot more mixed since it only recently came out of a decade or so long hiatus

this gif reminds me of the random 3 second gay elevator scene in lazarus

It's bad, wish they would stop airing this show before Toonami. Not even retarded normalfags like this show anymore after that one guy got cancelled.

Grass

Tastes bad

Yea, but then there's the Enforcer thing, which can be another since it almost always get to fire off a shot when starting the checkpoint

Cross-boarding is genetic dilution and enables the destruction of the master race while the untermensch grows stronger.

Your wife!

Questions??

He didn't beat everything up to this point if he needs to go double zimmer for Iguazu. Pile bunker is supposed to be risky as fuck too since the only way to land the crit is to be basically touching them and prime it the exact moment they stagger, and lighter mechs like Rusty recover a lot faster to make up for how frail they are so it's almost pure luck if you manage to hit one of those.

This is a weird sounding rendition of Caribbean Queen

Is cycling supposed to be extremely hard at the start or is my bike just shit? I can barely make it up and down my block (slight incline), and I'm a pretty fit person.

Is it like running where you have to learn to pace yourself because nobody can actually run at high speed for very long except extreme athletes? Maybe I just need to live in a lower gear?

Looks alright. I think his eyes should be just a tad bit larger, like they did for Sonic.
Are his antlers fuzzy? Fuzzy antlers are a thing (during certain growth stages,) but I always got the impression that Chopper's antlers were bony.
It's also odd that his top hat is so fuzzy. It does make sense given his home island's climate, but based on the way it's drawn I always thought his hat was leathery or at least cloth of a much smaller weave, like a traditional top hat.

She's not gonna vore them, right?

lazy template question spamming again

The problem with the timing thing with Pile Bunker is that enemies but especially bosses are allowed to "GET OUT" of stagger whenever they want, they don't have a cooldown bar that works like 621's AC does. The risk is the fact that they get out of it and you'll have to cut your full charge short and just rely on 30-60% of the damage you could have been dumping on them.

Been playing Fantasy Life i.
It's been the perfect game for me right now. Satisfying but mind off grind.

have to pace yourself, but what you're describing sounds extreme or ur lying about being fit. sounds like a gear/resistance related problem

What's his problem?

wrong shows and bad times.

It sucks.

seems like it fuckin flew by. Memorial Day storm cleanup bleeding into rotator cuff surgery (not for me thankfully) and now a busted garage opener. miss when my only problems were getting home in time for toonami.

I think Rick and Morty have nothing to do with Toonami

Cry more. It's better than your whining.

It's fine so far. Though that's probably one of the least impactful season openers they've had...ever.

Moron

The anime is a different show, dumbass.

TTGG if you're here sound off

now i've accidentally become one of the most important people there

Leverage it and ask for a raise.
A bigger raise than just the cost of a pizza.

And where does the post I was replying to say that, dumbass? Also it literally airs right before the block so we talk about it.

before the block does not make it part of the block

Says who?

He's been flaking a lot lately. Probably not here yet again.

Whew, didn't think I was gonna make it tonight. But luckily, back for Toonami once again. Hope everyone had a good week? Feels like summer is here, saw some triple digit temperatures.

Pretty okay, not much to say. Bought a father's day gift, still doing my best to clean around the house. Got more new clothes, haircut.

common sense?

Which you seem to lack.

It's every other week at this point. DelphiSage needs to replace him fulltime.

Most of the people in this thread are shitposting and talking out their ass, it doesn't matter if they're right or wrong.

Bleach was never good.

Nobody wants that dumbfuck Redditfag in charge of anything. I’d rather see anons fight over it weekly over giving that retard more power here

Capcha - TARDY

Fitting

Shut up.
Shut. Up.
Shut the fuck up.

lol whose thread do you think you're posting in right now?

smother me with your big doughey white ass and i will

I met with my sister to start organizing things at our deceased grandfather's condo. It turns out the AC is broken. The AC is also broken where I work but the temp was nothing like that.

If you want to discuss Reddit & Memey so badly go here:

And anon one because delphifaggot wouldn’t start it with a Demarco meme

When I wanna know what to make of the "culture war" as they call it...I ask, what would Mike Judge think?

orihime was made for

Impregnating more than once, fuck Kubo, can't you have her with two kids at least? Kishimoto at least had Naruto knock Hinata up twice at least.

Hugs and forehead kisses.

hoooooooo boy.

he doesn't want to fuck hamsters

This is Red Leader. All boards, report in!

Sorry to hear that, anon. Both about your grandpa and that heat. I like me some hot but it can be too much.

Chaos thinks he can doomed the world with his chaos drugs but not on my watch. Strangers from other boards, who is with me?

I watch clips from the DIC dub and those voices suck.

We also got to see when Naruto fell in love with Hinata, when they married, etc. From what I read people literally had to ask when Ichigo even realized his feelings for her it was handled so passively. That's more annoying to me than just having one kid because it takes away the basic things you'd want to see actually happen in a relationship. You know, it start, and any phase of it.

Do you guys like Gear 4?

One of those times was by me so it doesn't count.

but hamsters are so small it would go from bestiality to necrophilia real quick

Anon Babble standing by!

if memory rick is real why dont they just make memory beth into a thing?

I wonder how many people have died while watching Toonami.

Heh, getting to the temps where I became a decidedly winter person.
Though, been cool and rainy here this last week. But supposed to be warmer this next week.

Anon Babblev/co/ on deck.

There are still people wearing masks, wile driving alone.

Crazy how they absolutely have time for character bonding and development and just waste it on random characters and Skinner wanking, but the cult episode still has the messiest writing out of any.

You forget it had to be done in a movie, and done as filler partially by the animation studio pushing for it because Kishimoto REALLY hates having to do slice of life shit apparently, even at gun point.

Tony Tony Chopper Signing in

Anon Babble on standby!

I mean, not like Ichigo can't put a few more babies in her, she's still quite fertile by the endgame

Anon Babble present

jesus fucking christ, spoiler that shit next time.

Happy Pride Month everyone!

RICK AND MORTY SEASON 10!

Tune in for all your favorite characters, Beth, Space Beth, and introducing Memory Beth as a mainstay! Incest? You got it. Cucking? You got it. Abomination babies named after anime? Sure we can do that again, we have a story arc of all the men being put in captivity for semen pumping anyway (don't worry, Rick lets it stay that way! He's now reliving his memories of Unity before she got with someone else. Those are tears of joy from Rick.)

watch stuff faster and you won't get spoiled

Look at this paddington-ass motherfucker

i meant whatever his wifes name was
car voice, etc

Almost time for Lazarus
Post your favorite Watanabe girls!

Anon Babbleechagodzilla, locked and loaded!

get spoiled

I just don't want nightmares from looking at that shit.

Best girl starting the night right.

No matter how hot it gets, I will never be a winter person. The hot temps can be annoying but cold is death. Nice job starting on Spy x Family, I keep meaning to start it because it seems right up my alley.

Saw that earlier. Could be better, but could be worse. It's about what I could expect.

I don't think I have one. I feel neutral about them except for Faye who was fairly good. But I'm not nuts about her to use the word "favorite." Ed was also fun but if I said she was my favorite people would think I meant sexually and not wongioniously.

Why is everyone painfully unfunny in this general.

insert song for rick and Morty promo changed to something cheaper

Kek

Why is Gene making so many appearances this season?

Severe brain damage, same reason we're watching the block in the first place. The retards here even though they don't watch the block have no excuse.

Anon Babble reporting for duty.

It's like one guy trying to repeat the same jokes he gets responses for. Whoup muh dick fell into my oatmeal and a raccoon ran away with it and i shit myself and my testicles exploded and i shit myself again! thoughts? my problem? how to get muscle gf?

Because we're fruits!

1 minutes till Toonami

It’s over

Happy Fruity in the Booty month, anon!

no custom intro

It’s over

Better than usual. Bleach saved Toonami.

Time for Lazarus!

Could be better, could be worse.
- Got my computer back from the shop on Memorial Day.
- Started the long task of trying to get everything approximate to how it was before.
- Melancholy reflecting on the poor maintenance that lead to me needing outside help for my computer
-Overcompensate by doing backups for all the computers in the house
- Planning for Father's Day
-More melancholy hours

Happy birthday, anon. Glad to see it was a good one. Hope you keep making good progress on the comic.

We've been getting constant fluctuations, mostly in the high 60s/low 70s and what little heat we've had has already been getting to me. Can't imagine what it's going to be like when we start hitting consistent 80s.

Dicks

MA V episode

Maybe shit is actually happening

IS THAT FREEFORM JAZZ I HEAR
MUST BE TIME FOR TOONAMI!

they do not start off the block good atm, let's face it

Anon Babble to the motherfuckin' Anon Babble

this Lazarus show kind of sucks ass

They already beat up the dumb bitch last episode and she got away with running her mouth while being held hostage because she's perfect and amazing and can fight you with her arms tied behind her back literally and in a fucking chair.

Where is his ketchup?

steki

That steak looking kinda raw

use for AI learning is prohibited

as though that will stop even a single person from using it for that if they want

wait, peter luger cuts your steak for you

Is anyone on this team not fucking gay?

Nothing quite like showing a character eating a steak with a fork and knife to make me instantly hate them. I don't know why even. It just looks so douchey.

New thread

New

loud chewing noises

Oh no he has autism.

beef steak

"precise amount of protein"

are you really ok ordering steak and nothing else on the menu?

THE WORLD IS ENDING AND EVERYONE IS DYING
WHY DOES NO ONE FUCKING CARE OR ACKNOWLEDGE IT AT ALL

"when i get saaAAaaAd"

and now black lotus tier music, thanks. can't wait for the shitty ost promos

I fucking hate the sounds of people eating, especially with their mouth open. Fuck this show. Fuck everything about this garbage show.

wow this is so deep, guys
like the ending of the evil morty episode of Rick and Morty

undercooked meat

based retards

4 u

This is exactly why we have a guy.

I fucking hate the sounds of people eating, especially with their mouth open

unironically autistic

read the filename

Axel is the main character
when Axel is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "where is Axel?"

Retards.

Just an average day in detroit.

How do you eat it? With your hands?

The cat is the mole

That's literally how everyone eats steak, retard.

Glad you had a nice birthday, anon.

when we start hitting consistent 80s

Man, soon I'm going to be wishing it was the 80s again.

Schneider

Dan?

Normal people not having a problem with eating noises is exactly why I don't want to be normal. Fuck your labels, learn how to eat like a civilized human instead of a monkey.

WHAT SECRETS?!?
YOU'VE LEARNED LIKE JACK SHIT
EVERY LEAD TO SKINNER HAS BEEN A DEADEND

No matter how hot it gets, I will never be a winter person.

Fair enough. Admittedly, winters in my area tend to be mild, and summer days over 100 are rare.
Still, given I spend too much time three feet from a space-heater doing math...

started

Heh, shotgunned s1&2 and the movie on monday and tuesday. Did add the manga to my list on where I read stuff.
But yeah, its a pretty fun ride. Could have done without a couple of the classmate focused episodes, but they weren't terrible, just a couple of their personalities wore thin when made to carry an episode.

Anon Babblem/rade here.

A massive inferno at a cult compound

It was a fucking cult who cares

Yeah that's the thing, I don't think they know anything to be worth killing

is this a secret recap episode? a flashback episode without the flashbacks?

There's a good reason for having a guy, but when he consistently keeps going missing then I'm not going to begrudge anons for making a new one.

kek

Small budget, please understand.

this is retarded
why isn't everyone looking for Skinner?
isn't the majority of the population about to die unless they find him?
and they don't think that maybe, to avoid capture or detection, Skinner might set fire to an oil rig when the one team looking for him might actually have found a clue

Different climates, what can you do. Seeing triple digits before summer even officially starts mean that I'll probably be seeing it rise up to around 120 again. But it did happen slower than last year, so hopefully that's a good sign. Don't know much about the classmates other than Anya's friend is too fucking horny.

Because the higher ups have made this a political issue, like every other major crisis. Of course everyone should be looking for Skinner, but first some fat old guy needs to posture and hedge his bets and make sure he takes maximum advantage of the crisis.

It really is baffling. At least 90% of the world is going to die, and yet hardly anybody else seems to be looking for the dude

Pretty easy to lull yourself into normality by brushing it off as bullshit if people of authority don't make a big deal of it publicly.

"Must be a deepfake or some shit." "Viral marketing?" Idk considering how easy it is for people to ignore all kinds of shit, I'd believe it.

What do you expect the average joe to do? Check underneath their beds?

Observed my dad's birthday mostly by reading journals from when he was still alive, went to a church gathering on his death day (the day after his birthday), took my mom to a doctor's appointment and to physical therapy and we've been trying get more exercise for her in general. Her UTI still hasn't completely resolved.

Who said the regular people had to pitch in? You'd think someone making a terroristic threat like massive population death would get all the governments scrambling to find the dude
