“Demarco hates it” is usually a reason to lead with, but it’s such a non factor suggestion that has a literal 0% chance of happening, that Demarco’s opinion on it hardly matters. It’s like walking into a CN thread and saying they are gonna air Spongebob soon. It’s completely nonsensical to...

If AS owns it and it’s even mildly Toonami themed, we are gonna get it as a cheap slot filler. They don’t care about the block theme, they care about saving money. CSE had absolutely zero business being on Toonami, but since they got away with it once, they are gonna try to do it again. SMMA...

We need a middle grounder. Demarco is way too shonen obsessed, to the point of getting shows like Boruto and One Piece that are blatantly for children, just because it’s shonen. On the flip side, Manning will go for more mature oriented shows, but often ends up landing on things that are...

Well, that settles the question on whether or not Super Mutant Magic Academy is Toonami bound. They say they can’t compete with streamers for acquisitions, but I can almost guarantee the reason for that is they are only looking at hyper popular shows everyone wants. There are around 50 anime...

So I did the math, and they are doing this to make sure all of S1 can air before it expires in November. It started its run the first week of November 2024, so with a 2 year contract is set to expire this November. At one episode a week, even without counting marathons, it would come up short 6...

I’m still really not on board with the idea that Get Jiro will not be a Toonami premier. So whatever Curtis is doing won’t matter. They may have a Sunday rerun for Jiro as they did for Rooster Fighter though. If they were to bring in an anime to replace Superman, I think the presumed Lazarus...

This show was actually what got me back into anime after a long hiatus. I was still in high school when this started, and I was deep into an “anime is teh suck” phase because one, liking anime was a social death sentence back then, and two, it was that harsh downturn period for anime in the west...

So that’s gonna leave a pretty big gap between the end of Superman and this starting, if we are going by the actual start of fall which is late September. If the dub turnaround is fast enough, and Viz is cooperative enough, maybe that’s where Bleach slides in to cover the lead for awhile, then...

I mean, I don’t think it’s fair to lay all the blame for that episode on Curtis. That’s generally considered on of the worst episodes in the entire series, and it really was a boiling point for Harmon’s obsession with incest. The one perk of that episode is it’s the closest possible thing to...

Title has to go to their weird, experimental 3am shows like Xavier, 12oz, Drinky Crow, Assy McGee, etc. The kind of stuff you really gotta be deep into AS culture to appreciate. You can’t just sit someone down in front of these shows and have them enjoy them, they are too abstract.

I have said it before, but we are long past the point of Toonami operating like it’s a powerhouse of anything. Its only goal should be attempting to be enjoyable, rather than trying to chase trends and fads it can’t possibly keep up with. Just air good shows people can enjoy and an audience will...

Common Side Effects isn’t really a Toonami brand show though. The only reason we ended up having it was because it was that drought period where they had literally nothing else to air. Even when they started it, they had to have a custom TOM intro where he flat out admitted it wasn’t a Toonami...

The only reason they even do that for Primal is because Genndy has a thing against Toonami. Without an outside reason, I don’t see why they wouldn’t let Toonami have the premier. Especially with the current subpar state the block is in,

Strange not to have any internal cross promotion, but I’d guess they wrote most of this season long before it was even greenlit. I wonder if Curtis will appear in this season at all.

Toei won’t even allow the original to be purchased. The only version they want available is the Kai cut. The original cut also has internal rights issues with Falconer that they are never going to fix. Plus, even if they could get it, I can’t imagine anyone willingly sitting through that after...
