Hey, I found this weird anime gif.
Just gonna leave it here since I figure we'll find a use for it eventually.
I feel....like it really ties the thread together nicely.
Is she a fish? She looks like one.
I didn't beat seda, I'm a failure
At least I'm still on the list I guess
There's a whopping six people ahead of me when it came to posting in the last thread? SIX?
You're the new guy. At this rate, you'll have double man god's average per month. Just believe in yourself.

"The ass was fat"
I thought about making a fake hype post for Chiller tonight, but then I didn't.
Didn't they stop that like 3 weeks in?
And you had The Quad Post.
That was week two. At first I double posted, figuring that somebody, ANYBODY else was watching it. Then it continued.

Seda missed an execelwnt opportunity by not calling the topic "The Amazing Cronenberg-Man"
The opening for the new Lupin III anime is incredible.
Really makes me want to get into this series.

Lots and lots of annoying Man God gifs apparently. He probably already has one prepared for this post.
I still love you Man God
It was more like we broke even.

Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.
Its also a matter of how much worse could it possibly get.

Toonami Faithful posted the podcast where Jason joined again (same one where he reveals Kill la Kill rerunning, which the fansite announced separately before actually posting the podcast in full)
- Happy with ratings this year and how the block feels, thanks DBZ. Momentum going into Intruder II.
- Well set up for next year, "exciting stuff in the works". "Bigger" than stuff in 2015 or 2014, apparently.
- The original Intruder came about after the Six Flags Coaster to Coaster promotion, (Toonami's first major promotion). They had a new look in the works, and Jason wanted to give Tom a backstory and change his look. 'His reverse knees pissed us off'. Eventually turned into a microseries. Nine month endeavor 'literally like a baby'. Animated by Turner Studios.
- Jason played Starcraft at work back then apparently \o/
- Freddie Prinze Jr was considered for the original Tom.
- The original Intruder went twice overbudget, was called "Sean (Akin)'s Boondoggle" by Mike Lazzo and CN, haha.
- Pushed back because they got a sponsor, possibly helps for future similar ... things ... if it does well.
- They advertised Intruder II early (announced Momocon 2014 I believe?) and asked people to tweet stuff in order to show interest to sponsors
- Moved from 5 to 7 episodes because Jason wrote more than he thought he did.
- Total time is 25ish minutes, 3-4 minutes per week.
- Sponsor involvement should be typical formal "brought to you by" style
- Animation led by a unnamed private CG artist with his contacts 'moonlighting' to help.
- New packaging confirmed, made by "another studio". "New graphic look, might not be drastically different". Just started the animation. Will come in 'piping hot onto the TV, probably'.
- Making the Intruder II, comic, mobile app, have been difficult. Talks about eating into holiday days for Toonami staff. Jason wrote Intruder II on his vacation, for example.
- Comic 'acts as a bridge' between Intruder I and II.
- Intruder II will replace any game reviews and promos during November/December, of course. Continuity-wise it wouldn't make sense to have Tom reviewing a game while this is happening (and of course they can't devote time to those.)
- Not really expecting it to drive ratings during typically lower performing November but of course they'll take it if it happens.
- Jason basically thought the Chiller block was the network throwing stuff and seeing what sticks, but doesn't work for a niche channel.
- Marathons have been working for them. Decisions made by programming department, not Jason. "can reuse content and perform better in ratings than movies" so win-win basically from that department's viewpoint. Jason would love to show movies but it's not up to him and it may not make the best sense to.
- Oct 31 falls on a Saturday, so does Dec 26 - will these disrupt programming too in addition to the announced marathons? "Shit, I dunno." (probably not)
- Intruder II starts on November 7th for 7 weeks, starts off the block for the first week, then moves into the DBZ break (or first show for marathon nights I guess) for the remaining 6 weeks.
- Toonami Comic launches on November 7th.
- Toonami app launches on November 2nd.
- Marathons on 11/28 and 12/19

Probably during the week during adult swim commercial breaks
But it sounds like they won't have ANY promos because it just wouldn't make sense. You can't have TOM come on during the week if he's currently dead/dying.
It's what happened in old Toonami. Makes sense.

So you didn't even make it long enough to find out if it WAS a zombie. Now you'll never know the answer to the show's title.
