I'm not at Lain-levels of Manga collection, but I used to have a fairly large collection. I've downsized in the last year, shipping out a nearly full run of Eyeshield 21, 15 Bleach volumes, and dozens of other books to fellow MANgaffers.
Right now, I still have full runs of Death Note and Rurouni Kenshin, tons of Yu-gi-oh books, and am currently buying the 2-in-1 collections of Loveless Viz has started to publish. Will probably end up collection Nisekoi for some shitty reason soon as well

Semi-related, but I'd like to see the IDW Samurai Jack series animated at some point in the future.
No video games, though.

Hahahaha. We told you that it would be awesome.
For the record, this scene in the manga? Eneru's face took up an entire page.

Here's the Space Dandy episode 2 preview that's been running on Adult Swim all week. They sure are pushing it hard, we've never seen Toonami make individual episode promos before.

I found the Japanese preview for us 'dub apologists' to gander at too

Well it's basically a brand new series for them and Adult Swim has always done this for original content. They aren't bringing it over years later so there's no real chatter about it other than what they can create through promos and such.

Not really, toonami wasn't making episode specific promos for IGPX or Big O Season 2 that aired during the week. Dandy is being pushed hard, probably because they paid a pretty penny for it through funding and licensing.

Did they make episode promos for Rick and Morty?
I don't think that was a simulcast though. Plus it had a bit of hype because it was a season 2. Dandy is closer to an Adult Swim original. Also I think regular Toonami did make previews for IGPX back when it was new.
Has that even started yet? I know they've done it for Venture Bros and others.

I'm assuming that, I have not watched the sub.

Yeah, it's played like 3 or 4 episodes. You should watch it.
Do you mean they didn't make promos for them during their recent runs? Well you're correct there. However, though my memory may be a bit hazy, I remember them pushing IGPX and Big O 2 pretty hard when they were brand new which was about 8 and 11 years ago respectively. For something that's BRAND NEW/WORLD PREMIERE and that they helped fund, this level of promotion doesn't strike me as unusual. They've done the same for new seasons of Boondocks, Venture Brothers, Black Dynamite, etc.

What does Dandy being simulcast have to do with anything? Sorry, I'm not following you there..
This is the first time we've seen something from toonami get a specific episode preview made and run outside of the block. Adult Swim co-funded Ghost in the Shell but it didn't get this treatment. The same goes for Big O like I mentioned earlier.
I'm pretty sure regular toonami did not make episode previews for IGPX back in the day. There were previews like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lQx5fIv9YQ
But none created specifically for an episode
No, I'm talking about episode specific promos during their initial runs. I don't remember seeing them do this for IGPX, GitS or Big O Season 2 and can't find any videos online proving otherwise. They made general promos, but they weren't episode specific. I think the Dandy marketing is being handled a little differently than they would've done in the past which is interesting.

I've seen AS episode specific promos for rick and morty, we also see them for eagleheart paradise rising. Them doing it for Dandy isn't really that unusual
Also mcxc every show you mentioned aired years ago and them being "new" on newnami does not make them new to the block or new to adult swim. That argument would make more sense for Bleach - SAO which they don't do specific episode previews for.

This is the first time it is being done for an anime, that's why it's unusual. Did Ghost in the Shell get this treatment? IGPX? Big O season 2?
That's the point I'm trying to get across.

Yes, AS doing promos for specific anime is pretty rare.

I dunno if they did when those shows first aired in the early 2000s, but why would they make specific episode promos for 10 year old anime thats rerunning? Your argument should be "they don't do this for bleach-sao" which are new to both toonami and adult swim

That was a rhetorical question, they didn't do episode specific promos when those shows first aired. You're not understanding what I'm saying, I'm not asking why GitS and Big O didn't get promos on the new toonami.
Bleach and SAO aren't co-funded or co-produced so no, that's not what my argument should be.
You get me

Good, I want them to keep pushing this show. Hopefully they can start to draw in some people who wouldn't normally watch anime.
OP 183 & 184: It's an absolute shame that CN never got this far before it went off air, because things have gotten awesome after the initial slow build-up (though the villain's build-up was done rather well) & probably would have gotten me to continue watching the series after it was taken off. Hopefully, I can finish 185-195 before Monday when college starts again.

How well has rick and morty done ratings wise?

Pretty good, it's averaging about 1.3M per premiere over a 3 week sample size.
Whoa now. DAYS is baller yo.

Shonen Heart wins best Eureka 7 OP cuz it was in Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! 2 & that game was awesome......oh, & the song's rather good as well.
Edit: Uuuuuuugh, episodes 187-189 would have worked better AFTER
. Oh well, at least I'm just about done with this arc.
Edit: Uuuuuuugh, episodes 187-189 would have worked better AFTER
Luffy finished his battle with Eneru, it's an interesting look of things before the island was shot up, but to do it right as things are about to end makes me wish they did this AFTER the final confirmation

If by the final arc you mean the manga's final arc.. then no.
If you mean the anime's final arc... then yes, it is surely that. I always assumed they hadn't dubbed that yet.
The real question is: Is 3 months enough lead time for the final arc to be ready by April 26th (when the current arc ends) or is Bleach about to head into another rerun period before then...
....Nah, that's probably enough time to get it ready.

I meant the anime's final arc.
Hah, there were several people who moaned at those episodes' 'positioning', myself included.
Yeah, I remember it had a really slow start at first, trying to set up so much stuff, but it feels like it's finally starting to pay off and such. Though WTF at 189's beginning.
In any case, at the rate I'm going at, maybe I can fit in the filler arc between Skypiea & Davy Fight before I go back to college.
NOBODY ever though "Hey, someone should tell the guy that's exploring the island for research & stuff about the sacred woods & trees and all that. I mean, just to be on the safe side, considering he's most likely never seen them before & might want to do something with them to gather information."

If we're gonna repeat bleach episodes we better skip back to the ice tard troll
I hope you are wearing headphones for that incredible ost
*Taste, you haves them!*
Just watched A-ko Move + the 3 followup OVA's over the past few days (need to watch the Versus Now), and recently watched Mich-chin, which was pretty enjoyable, if not... weird in many ways.
If Space Dandy can deliver on the oddball sight gag comedy as well as the A-ko works, I hope to really enjoy it. A-ko riffs on freakin' EVERYTHING.
That... sounds like a good idea.
I have a memory of seeing the Streamline Dub of Naussica on TV at my Grandma's house when I was really young... (I think it was aired on Nickelodeon), and all I remember is thinking that Naussica died under the sand at one point, and feeling sad whenever I saw anything that reminded me of that. Took many a year to figure out what in the world I'd actually seen at the time...

Eh. Not everything was well-developed, but I thought the movie did a pretty good job about that overall. Especially compared to the series itself.
Holy crap, OP was doing fine in this 3-parter set of episodes until 189. Not even 1/2 way through the episode & once again, I can't help but rant.
& it's a shame, they were almost 3 for 3 with this set. At least the rest of the episode is good for the most part.
Why didn't he TELL THEM the trees were the source of the disease? Why didn't he tell them "HEY, I found these trees were already dead & were infected by the same thing you guys had, which will spread to you guys again", therefore letting them know on preventing the disease from spreading again. & all we got was "OOPS, should have explained earlier! SORRY."

It's looking like I'll miss most, if not all, of the preblock.
