Maybe don't start the night with a rerun (or 2)? Seriously, it should be obvious. If you start your night low, it'll only go down from there.

Move Jack to the back, and scrap Super's earlier slot. That alone will get more people to start Toonami, at least.

But this is [AS], so I'm not surprised their scheduling is insane.

I can't believe a live action SAO tv series was announced before a live-action Bebop series.

Either way, do not want.


Speaking of live-action, the JoJo movie might not be shit.

They've been "announcing" Bebop live action stuff for many years now. This just happens to be the first TV series. Also, SAO started as a light novel, and light novels/manga receive live action adaptations more than animated stuff do.

 

[Grexeno]

Super probably has to have an airing at 8 to satisfy Toei, which probably wanted it showing during the day on a kid's network.

Sam Jack is probably trying to wring as much money out of it as possible.

 

[Hellwarden]

I wish Super could air Saturday mornings if it has to air when kids are watching. Probably wouldn't take away from the Toonami block, and would get kids into Dragon Ball. Cartoon Network might think it's too violent tho...

So tomorrow I get to interview Batou, life is odd at times.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Directs are meh and the reactions suck.

There has been plenty of good directs and bad directs. Some meh directs. Reactions depend on the person.

I prefer directs over live conferences since they get to the point a lot faster than live conferences do typically.

Plus, Nintendo haven't had a really good live conference in a long time.

 

[Morlas]

I love a good direct in the morning

 

[Mizerman]

Nice.

 

[Hellwarden]

So I'm gonna have to miss a lot of E3 because I start my new job on the 12th.

But on the other hand, it also means I'll miss gaming-gaf just breaking apart, because E3.

Can't wait...

 

[RampagingSoul]

Also, been hearing that there might be an Animaniacs reboot with Spielberg, Amblin TV and WB. I would like them doing it only if they can get as much of the old staff as possible to do it. This is mainly because most reboots of cartoons coming out are making me weary like the Power Puff Girls one...

Sorry for the unintentional double post.

 

[Raxus]

Keep in mind many reboots have done well too.

 

[SigmasonicX]

I wonder what "while Bill Clinton plays the sax" will be replaced with in the intro. I imagine they won't use Trump, not just because of the controversy, but the very real possibility that he won't be president by the time production is complete.

Black Clover
Reading Black Clover for the first time, strange there seems to be a mistake it looks like i'm reading naruto i guess i picked the wrong manga.

 

[cntr]

Yeah, Black Clover is basically Naruto 2.0. It never gets as bad as Naruto does, though; it's like a cheap pizza, serviceable but not great.

 

[caliph95]

I need my generic shonen garbage ala fairy tail anyway
Is there something similar that's actually good

Also fuck Naruto sorrry i mean Natsu sorry i mean Luffy, sorry Asta, i'm starting to hate the typical shonen protagonist they are so obnoxious

 

[cntr]

I dunno about Asta, but I don't mind most shounen protags. Like, Naruto's fine when he's doing stuff unrelated to Sasuke.

...that said, yeah, I hope in the future, shounen protagonists end up more like Deku or something.

edit: Whoa, you're shitting on Luffy? Boo.

Not shitting on him i can see how it can be seen that way was just making a joke about how generic asta is

 

[cntr]

oh, fair

holy shit the Malaysian DBZ dub

While Hillary Clinton plays the Blues.

 

[cntr]

While Obama gets the thanks.

We can wander selfishly around the universe, destroy whatever we like, eat delicious food and drink delicious liquor. I guess Turless is a Republican.

 

[BatDan]

Only upside is that it keeps the original music.
Saiya-People is why literal translations DO NOT WORK. Also Krillin turned into BMO. I can't even

God I always forget how terrible Return of Cooler looks.

 

[Shard]

Nice.

It is going to be interesting.

KAIOKEN UP TO TEN TIMES!!!!!!!!!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I think at worse, the block will get reduced back to 3 or 3 and a half hours. Which, I mean, ditch Shippuden and the Rerun slot and nothing much changes.

Yeah, unfortunately. Though I wouldn't mind if it were something like:

Super
DBZ Kai
Attack on Titan
Tokyo Ghoul
Hunter x Hunter
Naruto

I mean I don't like most of those shows but if they squeezed all their moneymakers together into 3 hours they'd probably get good returns.

 

[Regiruler]

Naruto is nothing if not consistent (ratings wise). They're not going to drop it.

 

[Line_HTX]

I definitely feel like running Super twice a night is not doing it any favors.

DBS doing worse than DBZ Kai, hmm... I wonder why.

Damn, that dropoff for the exposition reveal though... Toonami, we NEED to talk.

 

[B-Dubs]

Super will probably get better numbers once we move past the movie content.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm just tired and done with Frieza for good. Hearing that

Spoiler

he comes back again later in the current arc

just turns me off completely.

And we also get super spoilers

Spoiler

a couple of awesome female super saiyans from U6

 

[Line_HTX]

Gohan is gonna need a whole lot of redemption for me to even be interested in Frieza being present. Sorry.

 

[HStallion]

Super is creatively bankrupt. I expect Cell to return when they run out of other threats to fight. Maybe Nappa will get brought back and give an uber power up.

Maybe we'll get a canon, off color Janemba in Super.

 

[Morlas]

dude after the frieza arc Super is a legit good show

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Spoiler

I'm fine with Freeza being on the U7 team, as long as he isn't the main villain again, and they develop his character more like Vegeta.

 

[caliph95]

Maybe we'll get a canon, off color Janemba in Super.

But we already have Buu

 

[Hellwarden]

Maybe a weird opinion, but I think Super is at is best when it's being a bit irreverent.

And maybe a bit fanficy.

I find the most enjoyable parts rarely involve fighting.

So far my favorite arc was Goku Black.

You don't want Goku and Vegeta to fuse into Gogeta?
