Toonami to air Rooster Teeth's gen:LOCK

I think that's part of what's killing toonami, realistically speaking.

They don't get premiers anymore, which would be the only thing really going for them, and part of why Space Dandy worked so well. If they had decided to do that again with a show that wasn't nuFLCL x2 they might be doing better than they are. As it stands, there's really no reason I can see for people to watch toonami other than out of nostalgia or love for the community, as the shows they air are either reruns or less old reruns.

yes, which is why i used a reaction from it

I've had it with Toonami.

I just watch Toonami because of the threads here.

This sounds and looks fucking awful and I hope I'm being rused.

I do it for the nostalgia mostly. Around the time that it came back I adopted a credo of "toonami is sacred" and I am a very stubborn person. The community is secondary.

to be honest I'd like for it to die, I've been living in Europe for over a year now and disrupting my sleep schedule every Saturday wears on the soul

>Toss MHA to the end of the block due to not getting the licence to season 4.
>Air Rooster Teeth shit.

Either this year or 2020 when Toonami dies again.

Thank you leaker user you made this easier to take on

Basically this. When the threads are no more I's be free.

also based on the end dates this is replacing attack on titan? do we know what's replacing sao yet?

Current Series End Dates (accounting for marathons):
Dragon Ball Super - October 12, 2019
Attack on Titan - July 27, 2019
Sword Art Online: Alicization - July 13, 2019
Lupin III: Part V - December 14, 2019
Food Wars! - October 24, 2020

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - TBD
Naruto: Shippuden - November 9, 2024
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - October 5, 2019
My Hero Academia - August 17, 2019

Demarco said on the AS podcast that they have six unannounced anime in production, so coupling that with Blade Runner means they got seven anime being made.

So there's that.

SAO ends before AoT, user-kun. Since the premier is in August, maybe it means that they're losing another half-hour until AoT finishes?

>Naruto: Shippuden - November 9, 2024
Goddamn

Also why this show instead of RWBY their most famous IP? Gen:Lock wasn't even all that good and I'm especially sure people are gonna be confused as fuck at that scene where they dress as RWBY characters or spend half the episode talking about the ins and outs of transsexuals and asexuals.

>six
Wow that's a lot. Does announced mean that it'll come to fruition? I am not super familiar with their past production schedules, and if there has been stuff besides IGPX, Dandy, FLCL2 that just hasn't made it to broadcast. I guess if it does, then toonami has to survive at least long enough to show all of them...right?

>SAO ends before AoT, user-kun
i know, that's why I'm asking if we know what's replacing it

but you're probably right about toonami losing the half hour

>Toonami and Funimation's relationship is destroyed because of My Hero Academia.

Frankly, I'm impressed it survived after Hellsing.

RWBY is apparently less than 30 minutes an episode.

RWBY episodes are too short to air on television.

Are you still around to answer questions?

I don't feel so good...

ah, my apologies. Ha, ha, maybe it's Wan Paunch s2! Or Mob s2!

Or, it's a rerun in last slot and everything moves up, or or it's just 30 more minutes of Family Guy.

Too short and it's pretty much their only successful post rvb series.
Genlock was a turd, so it's cheap.

I want Demarco to fucking die

They got the license cheap cause Rooster Teeth knows that this man is about to take them through the wringer. And they're gonna need some money.

Maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't have listened to the woke crowd known lie to harm people they don't like. God watching that lawsuit is like watching the slowest guillotine in the world fall.

At this point they may as well just air 22 minutes of animals fucking dubbed over by Yuri Lowenthal. That's daring, new and just familiar enough to pull an audience.

well they're gonna catch up with the manga sooner than later, so it'll either end for a while or become a filler fest like naruto/boruto

It's not good, but Asta is.

ask the internet device and report back to us

wanna take bets on which one it'll be?

Attached: 1444368023709.jpg (276x300, 98K)

It's studio Pierrot animating it,so i already know the answer

Those guys have effectively hijacked the franchise from the author, he just kicks back and enjoys the royalties now, the boruto manga is ugly and boring as sin. They should just cancel it. And Boruto itself is Dragonball GT

They've owned part of it for years and bought the whole thing with the rest of Otter Media like a year and a half ago.

Seriously.
Incoming blogshit.
I have a yearly tradition where I rewatch ALL of RvB in the summer. The reason being is that I, like much of Yea Forums, wasn't a piece that really fit with the rest of the puzzle. I was in middle school around the time season 3 dropped and to me nothing was funnier than the Reds and Blues. The characters of RvB almost felt like my friends during the summer when I had no one else outside of family to talk to. In memorial of those happy moments between shit days, I watch RvB back to back non stop. Toonami airing RvB during the summer, for me anyway, would have been like a sign from on High.

Vic's a disgraced creep and Funi basically told him to prove his shit in court, because they know damn well he's got no case. Because all the VAs are freelancers; not employees of Funimation.

“In production” could mean ideas on a whiteboard. Until they have actual titles and key visuals to share, it may as well not exist

It was owned by AT&T, so it was grouped in with the other entertainment assets when the takeover of Warner happened recently.

>Believing in seething /cgl/ fujoshits who are mad as fuck he wont sign their gay porn.
He's gonna win his case and Funimation is going to be lucky that Dragonball doesn't get taken from them.

>gen:Lock in Toonami

Are we sure Toonami isn't already in a point past no return?
Because this sure looks like it.

Well, anyways, ggs, it was fine getting disgusted by y'all, faggots.

thank you for your reply, I'll be waiting for the content then.

It can’t go any lower than this. Bad anime picks are one thing, this can’t be excused

It’s been that way for years. They want to focus on their stream

It's hearsay, but apparently Funi wouldn't let tooni air boku no hero s4 because hulu is getting it and as a result tooni deadslotted it in a petty act of retaliation

and also apparently they're not going to deal with tooni anymore?

but gen:LOCK is good

No it's not you RT cock sucking faggot

Is it? So do you think it will save toonami? I haven't seen it, and don't think one way or the other about it since I know so little.

Does this mean that the >Yea Forums posters are permanently btfo?

RWBY can't fill an episode block, the episode times are all over the place and most are too short to fill a half hour (some are only like 9 minutes).

They tried to cut it all up into 13 standard length episodes for Japan but they cut so much it bombed there.

>For those who have seen it/watch it, what are we in for?
Censoring, Maisie Williams' character has an open sewer for a mouth. P. sure she says fuck at least once an episode.

It's good if you like military sci-fi and/or mecha and handles the concepts it addresses well even if there's nothing too new or interesting for the genre.

Dunno what's stuck up that [as]user's ass, they'll get great exposure from a show with characters voiced by A-listers like Mike B and David Tennant instead of literal who career anime voice actors.

Attached: 1558168134993.png (323x461, 186K)

Because they phone in every line, and the animation is dogshit

well maybe they are going to lean on the voice actors being so big these days. Just advertise the shit out of Micheal B Jordan and David Tennant

they're irrelevant. toonami had cartoons on it on and off from the beginning, and moot said /tg/ belonged on Yea Forums, making it law.

animation is better than RWBY and people in this thread are saying that should be aired instead.

RWBY is even worse dog shit

gen:LOCK was alright, still don't want in in Toonami though.

>Reduced to airing shitty low budget web cartoons

As if this block wasn't irrelevant enough already.

Adult Swim is slowly backing away from Attack on Titan since the manga went full Alex Jones Jewish conspiracy rant.

They'll have to push the big names hard to get normies watching. Weebs will be too salty over all the animes getting deleted to support it, so they don't really have any audience for it.

It's kind of a shame how little attention it gets, it actually is pretty great, but RWBYfags get pissy because it's not RWBY and won't watch it and /m/ won't discuss it because >western. The best it gets is a few paltry threads on Yea Forums when episodes release.

Attached: 1538089613703.png (350x263, 116K)

Nobody cares who the VAs are, just that they do a good job. Everyone loved that literally who in Black Clover who did Ladros. Rooster shit all sounds phoned in

Did you just watch a trailer or something? The mech fights are the best choreograohy RT's done since Monty died and Mike B's performance as Nemesis is great. Matter fact, the only one phoning anything in is Dakota. You can't even tell it's her. Everyone else is hamming it up with wacky accents (except Mike B, but he has to be the stoic MC).

If CN actually put more money into GenLock could it actually be good

normies care about big names. they just need to advertise it right

What happened?

RWBY is next, isn't it? Just run two episodes a week.

Streaming services are the fall of toonami, this is just a choice made based on available media. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it wont, but either way toonami has to go digital or die out

As long as he does solo wing Pixy lines

its objectively not. Your love for RT is clouding your judgement

Hey guys, I figured you would have a thread up about now to discuss the news. Again, sorry, we know this is going to be a slow burning disaster.

I ended up having to take off early last night, so if you have any quick questions you want to ask I’ll try to answer them. One I’ll address right away, quite a few of us were under the impression this was replacing SAO. Apparently that changed in the past week or so and had not trickled down to our link on the chain yet. I have no clue what is replacing SAO at this point

That's basically vaporware now.

What other western shows are being considered?

How many people at Williams have actually seen it? Sounds like a lot of people are disappointed about getting an Emmy-contending show.

why doom and gloom over getting big star power the company can advertise with?

None that I know of. Let’s be honest, there aren’t many to consider in the first place. How this performs will dictate future decisions on western stuff though. So I hope you aren’t too attached to the idea.

Amusingly, the people pushing it the hardest have only seen clips. I don’t think anyone that was involved with the discussion has seen more than one episode, most of which only watched it because of the talk of picking it up
>Emmy contending
Maybe they can stand on the stage with Seth Macfarland

Because we know internally that Toonami viewers don’t give one single fuck about star power. They care about looks and entertainment, two things this show lacks. There’s a reason we started cutting down on promos, they do absolutely nothing. Not to mention how easy this show is to access, it’s going to be an uphill battle getting anyone to commit to the block to watch it

Wait he is sueing Rooster teeth as well? I thought it was funimation and the other voice actors.

What is the current situation with Funimation?

>Because we know internally that Toonami viewers don’t give one single fuck about star power.
fair, but lets be honest, you need NEW viewers. retaining a dwindling fan base isn't enough

>Maybe they can stand on the stage with Seth Macfarland
Hey, put Seth Green up there, too, and you'll have every reason Adult Swim still exists.

I can't believe I have to share oxygen with you faggots.

Finna

How damaged is the relationship between Toonami and Funimation?

and are partnered with CR

but you don't, we all live in separate basements

>Alex Jones conspiracy rant
that's quite the buzzy meme description you've got there

RT was the first one to fire him. I think he is just suing them over the firing though, since unlike Funi, they did it in a quiet, and professional manner

don't think it's going to be that relevant to the people who would watch toonami, or even [as] for that matter. voice acting doesn't mean that a story is going to be good or well-animated.

What exactly does the partnership between AS and CR entail? Because we haven’t seen fuckall from it

If that shit comes out it'll probably air on Toonami.

I doubt it. RT just professionally broke ties with him and haven't commented on it any further suggesting they just want to distance themself from this and not get involved.

It's most Funimation lead by Sabat Rial and Marchi that he's got a beef with because they took to trashing him on twitter and trying to ruin his life and have made it clear they've wanting to get him for years and are jumping at the chance to crucify him.

The only RT connected person I know trashing him is Shannon Mcormick who's just a VA and not actually a company worker.

What was the real reason MHA was deathslotted?

Nice trips, and thank you for coming back to us [as] user. You made the news easier to take.

These are reruns airing in a month. You're lucky if you get a promo more than week before it starts.

Don't normies like RWBY? Thats reason enough to air it.

>gen:LOCK
jesus christ and I thought it couldn't get any worse

Attached: Donald Duck.png (719x719, 564K)

its endless though. Gen:Lock is short

They can't. The episode's aren't long enough. It doesn't matter how popular it is if you're showing dead air because that particular episode is only 10 minutes long.

The only way I can see RWBY working is if they fill in the dead spots with shorts from RWBY chibi.

But since Chibi's stopped even that will only work so far.

It's too short, user. That was already explained in this very thread.

Maybe DeMarco can fill that space with his mixtapes instead of cutting OPs and after-credit scenes for them.

Hard to put into words. They are the cause of us having to scramble since they blocked a show we had lined up. We still have to work with them for the titles they currently have on the block, however it’s my understanding that we are no longer going to approach them for shows. That may change in the future mind you, but for the foreseeable future it’s just going to be Super, Black Clover and the next season of AoT

We have been trying a lot of things to bring new viewers, and all it does is drive viewers away. A Youtube series is not going to bring new viewers, but it will drive the anime crowd away

It’s not what people seem to think. It allows CR to produce anime with AS money. We then get the rights to the anime. This is how Blade Runner is being made. Contrary to a popular belief, it does not, and will not, have Toonami airing any shows licensed by CR

We expected a lot more out of it due to its popularity, and it just really never delivered. Why they waited till now to make a change is above my pay grade, though I’m sure our halted relationship with Funimation has something to do with it

No prob man

>don’t normies like this?
>we should air something completely different!

I have hopes that it won't be terrible. Just because it's western doesn't mean that it's going to be bad.

I also haven't watched a rooster teeth product since The Strangerhood.

was there a comment on why they cut the post-credit scene for AoT?
you know the one about the jews wearing star bands and trying to escape?

Attached: 1362196516015.jpg (416x259, 19K)

I recall reading that so long as SAO is produced, it will be aired. Are there any other shows that are like that? AoT and Jojo for instance? What about Mob Psycho or One Punch Man?

>We expected a lot more out of it due to its popularity, and it just really never delivered
So why the fuck does anything air on the block now when they're not meeting expectations? Why is BC and Boruto still airing?

DeMarco said they aired what was delivered to them - implying Funimation cut it.

So, what was the show Funi fucked the faggityman over on?

Not the guy, but given Funi's past actions in injecting politics into their dubs where it has no business...
I can fully believe they cut it for TV air.

Mob Psycho bombed and I doubt they have exclusivity rights to OPM like they do with AoT despite how much of a huge hit it was on the block.

Not him, but MHA is considered the Naruto of this generation and probably was given the expectations Naruto had when it aired on the old Toonami where it became a smash hit in the states.

So basically, due to MHA's reputation, they put higher standards on it.

>We have been trying a lot of things to bring new viewers
I know that this is probably redundant for me to say, and I am just some weeb in their pajamas in front of a computer, but you need (exclusive) premiers to get people to watch. More Space Dandy, less "let's cash in on nostalgia" FLCL2. Or, if there is some way you can get in on the streaming market...because that's what's killing you. My weeb friends that don't watch say that it's because there's no reason to when they've either seen it before or can stream it when they want to.

What are the unknown shows we were supposed to get that were dropped?

Space Dandy was a once in a lifetime thing that will never happen again. You'll have to have some contact with the JP studios to have an anime premiere in the west alongside the Japanese broadcast.

>Black Clover

They got that shit for free. Its obvious that its a low priority.

>Boruto

No fucking clue. That just seems like an assbackwards decision on Demarco's part.

Space Dandy did as well as any show from that era of Toonami if it aired today it would have bombed. FLCL2 +3 by all accounts should have done well since it was entirely a world premiere like Samurai Jack season 5 but nobody cared.

From what I've heard, Black Clover was offered to them for a cheap price. Boruto is here because DeMarco likes Naruto.

Nobody wanted more FLCL. The biggest question about the sequels were "Why?".

For AoT there is just because of a contract we have that guarantees it. Anything else I can’t make promises on.

We expect less of them is why. MHA was not cheap

I can’t say, but I can tell you it was a sequel to something we already aired

FLCL was a money pit. That’s not an office secret. Getting stuff like Dandy isn’t easy, especially these days when the one studio that does simuldubs isn’t working with us

Can’t say sorry

Cuz AS loves FLCL. That and Cowboy Bebop are the only anime they legitimately enjoy, so they say.

Wrong. They cut it to encourage people to drop the Toonami run and come to FuniNow for the full experience

>That and Cowboy Bebop are the only anime they legitimately enjoy,
Also Astro Boy and Gigantor but that's all Lazzo

What's the deal with the insistence on long running shounen series?? Financial because they're cheaper? Longer running so they have a slot occupied long term for less turn around? Only things companies are willing to hand over for air? Or because someone higher up with really bad taste makes the choices?

gen:LOCK doesn't get uploaded to YouTube, that's RWBY. It was an RT exclusive until Toonami picked it up.

Better than what's usually airing on it anyway.

A lot of people like to act like they know everything that goes on in [as] and also think that they can do it better. If you wouldn't mind, could you give a brief overview of the process of getting a show aired? Is there a great variation in cost of a show?

For the most part, Toonami is a project for Demarco, Gil and their little crew to work on, everyone else is hands off unless absolutely necessary. Demarco picks the majority of the shows, and apparently he really likes shonen jump so that’s what most of the schedule ends up being.

>For AoT there is just because of a contract we have that guarantees it
Guaranteed indefinitely?

>I can’t say, but I can tell you it was a sequel to something we already aired
It was Tokyo Ghoul, wasn't it?

I really hope shokugeki does crazy good

could've been wan punch 2 or even Jojo p5

Does this include shogeki? Because it seems absurd for them to have sandbagged panty and stocking this hard and then have a show about people cumming in their pants over eating food on the "action cartoon block" that sensors risque content all the time

Is the block on a legit lifeline right now?

Why is Lazzo fucking stupid? Wonder how he'll be when they lose Family Guy?

What was the idea behind getting Boruto?

Might not be your area, but what's the real reason why Toonami is still airing?
Looking at the ratings, it can't be because it's pulling in big numbers of viewers. Is it because what ratings it does get is satisfactory to higher ups and advertisers for a late night Saturday,or could it be because [as] has little to fill the time slot with that's not already airing every night so they keep it around for essentially air filler?

Not that user, but I think the eventual loss of Family Guy and Bob's Burgers is making them extent Toonami's lifespan to find some superpower on their schedule to fill the void they're gong to leave.

I don’t have any involvement with that directly, but I can confirm it varies widely between shows. For example, to get IBO, Demarco has to physically travel to Japan to deal with Sunrise directly. Obviously that was a lot of extra overhead cost on our end to consider. Other shows have been resolved in a short phone call.

Actual license prices are a tricky game. Often times we get a bargain on brand new content because the distributor wants it to air to advertise an upcoming BD. If we lean towards something else, they raise the price on everything else till we pick what they want us to pick or walk away.

We have dub premiere rights to every future season. As S4 is rumored to be the last, I’d assume that deal will be coming to an end soon enough

We had no interest in Tokyo Ghoul outside of its original series

Food Wars was actually chosen in a bit of a rush, and only a little research went into it. Being a Jump title was the selling point, but I have a feeling it’s content was a bit misunderstood

It’s in a weird spot. We aren’t talking about cancellation yet, but we are talking about it’s plummeting viewership, which is one step behind the cancellation talk. The hope is the new schedule can polish the numbers up a bit to put the worries on the back burner for a bit

Demarco REALLY likes Naruto. If he could, he would be airing the original right now as well

Saturday is low importance time, but we still need to fill the time. Toonami does that well enough, but as I mention in the answer above, it is starting to reach a troublesome low. We also have to consider what shows we have that could fill the time if it was gone, and that pool is not as huge as you may think

SOS
BOOMERS CRYING

SOS
TOONAMI IS DYING

There is no way to see MHA being deathslotted other than pure spite.

>he watched RWBY
Opinion discarded

>but I have a feeling it’s content was a bit misunderstood
So there is a likely chance DeMarco will pull it from the block?

But he said it was Funimation blocking the show. Both of those are Viz licenses (and dubs haven't even been announced yet for either).

It was most likely Mob Psycho 100 S2.

>We lost Mob.

I am upset.

1: How will the show be edited to fit TV timeslots?
2: Hear anything about High Guardian Spice?
3: What were the Momocon shows that fell through?

>and that pool is not as huge as you may think

Is DeMarco himself getting ANY backlash from [as] for pushing this block into the dirt?

so when's the crunchyroll deal going to amount to anything

What's gonna happen with DBS once it ends? Rerunned or replaced?

I’d rather watch SAO then fucking rooster teeth garbage.

You already saw it last night. There was an ad for Dr. Stone to watch on Crunchyroll.

Do you interact much with Demarco, or any of the really higher ups?

Do they seem like they genuinely care about anime, or are they out of touch?

To be fair, there's been Crunchyroll ads airing during Toonami for years, long before the "partnership".

This user's posting already known info/ theories and ya'll are eatin it up.

well i hope it was at least a cheap acquisition

Nah. He's mainly going after Funimation because they were being assholes about the whole thing and then some of them threw even more of an unprofessional autist fit when he decided to go after em, making things look even worse.

At least RT for the most part just made it a quick relatively quiet thing and left it at that.

Doesn’t work that way. The check has already been cut. It’s airing in full so we get our money’s worth. The only way it would get pulled is if it has offensively bad performance

1. No clue. That’s something scheduling will have to figure out
2. Never even heard of that title before sorry
3. Already said I can’t say but one was a sequel

The pickup of Gundam Origin was not met well, and as you can all see the schedule team did the only thing they could in protest

The current plan is to place Demon Slayer as the new block lead and see how that works out. This is tentative though, there’s no telling what is gonna happen with the block in the next 4 months. As I’m sure you have noticed this year, we have had to make quite a few knee jerk decisions

Super will stay somewhere on the normal AS schedule until we lose it.

My job does have me interacting with Demarco and the Toonami team quite a bit. The other higher ups I don’t have too much interaction with.

Demarco and Gil do seem to genuinely care about anime, but they are extremely out of touch with the modern day. They don’t seem to grasp why new things are hot, and refuse to believe they actually are hot. For example, Demarco refuses to touch the isekai genre despite how popular it is. So we get stuck in this 90s/early 2000s rut and wonder why we can’t find new viewers

Considering the cast and budget, not likely. RT couldn't have even made it without Mike B producing.

>Demarco refuses to touch the isekai genre
Then why did they air SAO?

Attached: 1533994743127.jpg (1920x1280, 329K)

I think he is going after RT for a wrongful termination, but that’s just a normal thing to do. Funimation is getting slammed with the defamation stuff because they can’t keep their VAs in check

We got the first season for nothing is why. Literally nothing. If “free” is uttered, we will air it. As long as it’s not like porn or something

Well and I thought it couldn’t get any worse after the FLCL sequels, you got me pretty good demarco.

>They don’t seem to grasp why new things are hot, and refuse to believe they actually are hot.
despite statistical evidence to the contrary? how silly of him.

thank you for sticking around and answering so many questions!

>couldve had more young justice
>get this instead

bro

Any new original plans for next year like Jack S5 and the FLCL sequels or if the latter flopping killed any original projects for the future.

Doesn't WB own the wider distribution rights to Gen:Lock? I can't imagine the price tag is all that high when they already own it.

Soon DeMarco is going to air his own produced anime on the block.

Demarco is right not to touch the modern Isekai genre, it has nothing of value.

Neither does Gen lock

WHEN IS SHIELD HERO COMING TO THE BLOCK?

I'll need some proof you're legit. Tell us something we don't know that we'll find out within 2 weeks.

It has a rude Scottish bunny.

A lot of people around here are gonna be feeling silly when this does well. Forbes actually had to issue an apology for shitting on it for being too derivative before the first episode aired because it actually turned out to be really good.

I enjoyed Gen Lock despite its flaws and it is superior to most of these modern isekai shows.

Toonami's real problem is that most of the current lineup isn't really suited for a midnight block. A few years ago, most of the lineup would probably be airing after school, weeknights, Saturday morning/afternoon and early Saturday evening.

It’s my day off and im just playing games in the background so it’s no trouble

Blade Runner is still coming. That’s all I know about. Projects are typically kept very tight till officially announced to limit leaks

It would be better than trying the same tired things that don’t work over and over. We missed peak isekai period that really could have grown an audience

As far as i know, no time soon

I tipped you off on gen:lock last night. That’s all the better I can do

It's not pride month anymore, black people and gay people don't exist outside of February and June.

Oh great RT shills are here to tell us about the wonders of shitty animu ripoffs and how they are better then the actual shit.

>Oh great RT shills
i mean there is a constant RWBY thread on Yea Forums. of course they are here. That said, gen:lock was kinda cool, I don't like this type of animation for character faces but it really works for mechs.

I wonder if one of the shows they were planning to get later this year was a simuldub for A Certain Scientific Railgun season 3, that was planned to be released in the Fall season but it's been pushed back for some reason.

Actually I just looked at the time, I have to get on the road, and it seems like it’s winding down here anyway, so I’ll be calling it here.

We do browse these threads from time to time (the official Saturday ones and the Tuesday ones), but I likely won’t be posting again anytime soon since there really isn’t anything more to share for the foreseeable future. Hopefully I was able to answer your questions and give you a little insight on the current state of the block. Later

Can’t wait to watch muh gender fluidity with you guys

>We missed peak isekai period that really could have grown an audience

I dunno, there is the off chance the Arifureta adaption isn't a dumpster fire and revives it.

>without S1 or S2
Zero chance

Overlord, Slime Isekai and Isekai Maou get added, what gets removed

Hopefully the nart hour and Gundam

Booo.... it certainly be surprise without the previous seasons though.

Realistically; Gundam, Lupin, and Food Wars S1.

Demarco will never allow shield hero

It got delayed because of the problems with Index S3.

I doubt [as] would air Railgun, there's way too much fanservice of underage characters.

It's more like military sci-fi with mechs than an actual mecha anime.

/RWBYg/ goes in /trash/ when there's not a season or news. The shipping power level is too high and too much art gets made, they can waifu and husbando shitpost year-round without actually discussing anything.

Still no Aaravos.

So no MHA season 4 on Toonami?

That's just their online avatar. They're a Russian cybergoth /k/ommando cutie IRL.

>I think he is going after RT for a wrongful termination, but that’s just a normal thing to do
Voice actors are independent contractors for the most part, and wrongful termination is only for actual employees. Vic is not an RT employee, whereas Barbara is.

I liked how the introduced the genderfluid stuff. it was very casual, just online using other avatars and then explained why

That really doesn’t look any better, shit looks like it game out of a shitty 90s cg cartoon.

why does their online avatar look less like someone from a bad video game than the IRL?

If it's any consolation, the only two long-running shonen series that have been dubbed and not aired are D.gray-man (113 episodes) and Fairy Tail (300+ episodes) both of which are licensed by Funimation

Could Darker than Black ever air or is it too "dark"?

Man, that sure was a funny joke user.

So toonami will be dead this time next year?

>Protrays slavery as a positive thing

Yeah, no way in hell is that getting on, just like Goblin Slayer, you're a fool for even suggesting that,user. At least SAO tries to pretend the girls are useful from time to time before shoving back in cock sleeve cages and rape bait arcs

That’s even more reasons to mute it

>Full of political right ring agenda
You played your hand to early, it’s okay bait overall though.

Why is this considered a bad thing?

Because RT are pretty well incompetent, and half ass that incompetence to boot.

How so? Give me an example please

Jesus fuck. Well, that's all folks. I'll watch Toonami again when or if the following happens in the future (granted the block isn't shitcanned by then)...
>Jojo part 5 comes to the block
>Black Clover & MHA move back to earlier timeslots (the fuck did they kick MHA to 3:30 AM for anyway???)
>One Piece returns
>DeMarco gets the boot, and gets replaced

The premise of Gen:Lock sounds like the RT people watched Pacific Rim then decided to cobble together a show

People see Rooster Teeth and assume it's shit because they haven't seen the show.

>the fuck did they kick MHA to 3:30 AM for anyway???
Funi is using season four as a flagship for their streaming service, Toonami won't be getting it.

Nah, Pacific Rim didn't have brain hacking, memory clones and robots you can get your mind stuck in if you stay integrated too long.

Because MHA is ending and they don't have S4.

>hey we are kicking you off a role prematurely for reasons
I imagine he is in the position to defend himself here. Had the series ended and they just never hired him for anything again, that’s a different story

>introduced the genderfluid
Mental illness concepts should not be introduced at all unless it’s for the sake of pointing out that they are mental illness

Bigger issue is it’s too old

Didn't that air on AS?

Because Rooster Teeth “animation” looks like it belongs in a low budget 90s cartoon, and they are infested with SJWs which bleeds into the show

>Find an article, there's way too much shit to unpack.
So...what do I look for? "Attack on Titan manga Alex Jones"?

Defend himself from what? A lot of these deals involve clauses where any spec of bad PR will force their hand. Also RT is based in Texas, where they have at-will firing.

Fired Vic Mignogna based on “evidence” they found on twitter, most of which has now been debunked

What a dramatic baby. There have been worse shows on the block that could've been "the deathblow." Did they forget about the entire section of DC Nation rejects?

I'm pretty sure that at-will firing also only applies to actual employees, but i'm not lawyer nor texan

Yeah, pretty much. It's fun to watch the reactions to hype moments, especially to stupid shit like Food Wars.

so gen lock is a rerun then? everybody who wanted to see it has already seen it somewhere else?

That has jack shit to do with why their shows are bad

Basically yeah

and not's not fucking relevant. Toonami isn't going to get anymore new viewers. They need to focus on keeping the people that still watch toonami and this shit is not going to help.

Well, the character does have PTSD.

Actually, yeah, "attack on titan alex jones" works.

This is guaranteed views and only Yea Forums's weeb infestation is still gonna be bitching one Toonami General actually watches the damn show.

They should just rerun Kill La Kill again to double the amount of fanservice on the block with Food wars.

You're probably thinking of Black Lagoon, Darker than Black never aired on Toonami.

Just let them have their fun.

Fanservice is good content

RT actually handled it professionally, Vic's just bringing a standard wrongful termination suit against them. Funimation are the ones who are gonna get flayed alive for defamation because of the Twitter shit their employees were posting.

RT went through employees bringing drama into public years ago, they knew to tread lightly even if they had to axe him due to their unforgiving SJW fanbase.

Those shows may only be known by a handful of people, so I can see the logic. Still probably just shitposting but whatever

Whose car was that anyway?

>tipped you off on gen:lock last night. That’s all the better I can do
How do we know that's you? Everything else you've said is vaugue or can never be proven

Why can't we get a good adult swim/toonami stream like neotoonami again?

I miss the bumpers and hosts, and chats make watching them 1000% better.

I'm the OP, my post wasn't written with any sort of tonality behind it. I don't necessarily consider it a bad thing or a good thing as I haven't seen it. Was just looking to discuss.

Why others might consider it bad (from what I've gathered) is that it's a western cartoon in "muh animay block" (even though toonami has aired western stuff on and off throughout). There also seems to be the to be expected "this is a shit show" opinions that comes with every show in existence. Others point to this as being a sign of toonami dying, as it's evidently a cheaper acquisition, one that changes things up for a bit, which makes it further evident that what they've been doing isn't working anymore.

Ultimately, I'll be deciding for myself what I think of it when I watch it.

ever since they learned what's in the basement we've had like...20-30 chapters (once a month mind you) of exposition and cold openings that have completely changed the manga. Like, if you want to ruin your positive view on the thing, dont read past the point where they enter the basement and pretend like it's a cliff hanger. It's not the same manga anymore.

>the fuck did they kick MHA to 3:30 AM for anyway???
oh, I see you haven't read the thread.

enjoy your saturday nights then user

or you can just, I don't know, read the manga

>decide to watch a clip of Gen:lock on youtube to get a feel for it
>looks cheap
Man the CG animation in gen:lock makes the CG in Gundam Origin look like top quality stuff.

He is gone man

legit looks worse than IGPX.

>hurr it’s not anime
If they can’t get western content that looks like it belongs on a TV, then yes, they should stick with anime only.

if they were willing to break their NDA so easily then they would've said their unknown shows. the only thing they did was announce the new show a day early, everything else is just answering questions that they could, as if they were at a panel at an anime con. I don't see any breaking of an NDA, but maybe you have more information about how [as] works than I do and can tell me.

What’s really bad is that this is some of the best RT animation there is. Take a look at some of the first episodes of RWBY to get a feel from how it used to be.

This is just something with no business being on cable

the face animation totally looks like garbage, but watch the mech fighting, that looks good

>go look at recent vids thumbnails from RT since haven't watched them in 6 years
jesus christ they need to be shut down

Well, once you have toonami programming decision power then you'll be able to implement your opinion.

Oh no need, this show will likely execute Toonami before years end, so no one will need to make decisions

Only thing I remember from IGPX was the Brown tomboy waifu and being disappointed it wasnt like the micro series at all.

First and foremost that new show looks like garbage. Don't know why they think it'll bring in viewers. Secondly why don't they turn toonami into some sort of streaming service?

>generic anime flashy mech combat
meh

I'm current with the mango and I'm not disenfranchised. Something doesn't have to stay the same for it to be good, and Aot/SnK has changed progressively as more information has been known. The biggest turning point was in the basement, sure, but it's not damning.

When the fog of mystery begins to clear, those who enjoy dreaming can find that reality isn't quite as fun.

Do you read Berserk? That's something else that changes a lot as the story goes on, and I'm not even talking about the stuff contained in the Golden Age.

>a show so bad that viewers stop watching every other show toonami offers, killing the entire block within six months

if this happens I'll buy you an ice cream.

Because there isn’t any more room in the market for more anime stream services

Gen:lock vs IGPX as far as Western Anime goes which is better?

Sure, but I'm aiming the comment at easily 90% of the 'fan base' who watch it purely for the original hype train it generated which was seasons 1-2, and past that point, it is 100% not the same.

>other shows on the block already falling below 200k viewers

I can't believe there are still colossal morons who believe Funimation will close its doors because of a defamation suit because some literal who youtube lawyer said so. Best case scenario is still a nice payday

Block shrinks by another 30 minutes probably. Toonami is basically dying now. We've been in a downward slide for years but this is the beginning of a true dark age for the block that will probably end in cancellation in 1 or 2 years.

He never said they were gonna close their doors you dummy.

>Secondly why don't they turn toonami into some sort of streaming service?
Because AT&T, which owns CN/AS and all of Time Warner's other crap now, also owns Crunchyroll. There's zero reason to make another streaming service for anime when you already have a successful one.

I guess that would be fine. I’d rather it get shorter than waste airspace with garbage like this

Who is going to watch a stream for dubbed anime you have already seen before?

Air the new episodes on t.v

>Secondly why don't they turn toonami into some sort of streaming service?
Because there's already tons of streaming services for anime with vastly superior show libraries which already include nearly all of Toonami's shows. So any Toonami "service" you come up with would have a tiny show library that is almost 100% redundant with existing platforms that also provide you with more options than "English dub or nothing", while also providing you with dozens if not hundreds of other shows, including stuff Toonami would never ever show because its incredibly restrictive programming guidelines.

There's zero reason for anybody to subscribe to or use a Toonami service when there are far superior services to watch anime. Especially new anime. Toonami works best as a weekly event, when there's a sense of urgency to it. Take that away and you just have the world's shittiest on demand anime streaming service, and that's not even an exaggeration.

this, anime streaming is all over the place, most people just go to crunchyroll or other anime streaming service to watch this. Yea Forums fags don't get it

Most of Yea Forums torrents their anime

Not on their show quality. How are they incompetent when it comes to their show quality?

Animation is a good argument. I'll make my decision when I actually see it. What SJW stuff has bled into their shows?

>Don't know why they think it'll bring in viewers.
RT has a very loyal and devoted fanbase and normies are intrigued by the voice cast. It's guaranteed views.

It's pretty damn shameful to see Yea Forums so upset about anime.

Attached: 1543532717201.jpg (1400x700, 131K)

I've never heard of this show until the Toonami leak.

we had talkback threads on Yea Forums

me neither. I don't know why everyone is saying that Yea Forums is upset, it seems like only a few people are upset on principle.

Well Yea Forums doesnt give a shit about gen:lock so its not a surprise really.

>Frankly, I'm impressed it survived after Hellsing.
Huh. I haven't been paying attention to Toonami or much television at all. Been wathcing stuff mostly OnDemand after the fact. I missed they even had Hellsing. Damn.

Attached: hellsing anderson 1408818778373.jpg (887x1097, 77K)

When DeMarco got the right to Hellsing Ultimate, he thought the block was going to get all the episodes, but only 8 out of the 10 episodes were released when the contract was made, so that basically meant he needed another contract and pay for the last two episodes to air outside of the first licensing.

We didn't get any new Funimation shows for awhile after that.

Holy shit. That actually is the cast. When the fuck did Rooster Teeth get so popular that they're able to those big names for voices?! I knew RWBY was popular.. but damn. Good for them.

>shitty CG the show
Good thing its short

Attached: 1550454118030.jpg (680x500, 48K)

Why are Funimation a bunch of greedy jews?

Hellsing Ultimate, the 10 episode OVA series, not the TV show. Which is more surprising, really. It was a total shitshow though.

Because they are the biggest anime licensing company in America.

Hellsing Ultimate, not the regular Hellsing, and this was years ago. They put it on after midnight, it did horribly in ratings, then Funimation went full jew and said "whoops we said you only get the episodes we have available right now, you don't get episodes 9 and 10 included too bad" and demarco flipped on twitter and basically told toonami fans to go pirate the series cause funi was holding the last two episodes for ransom. Relations between funi and toonami became extremely frosty after that.

This was one of the moments where DeMarco was the victim, not a faggit. I don't know what Funimation was trying to pull with this.

And considering how much sloth and incompetence there is at Funimation that just shows what a parasitic joke the licensing industry is. Funimation was completely asleep at the wheel when it came to simulcasts which is how CR managed to eat their lunch despite being literally an illegal pirate site for years. They managed to go legit and negotiate exclusive rights to stream Naruto Shippuden as a simulcast and that put them on the map. Funi had been doing legal streams for a while, but they were super lazy about it, not bothering to get same-day or even same-week releases for most shows, only bothering with the most popular shows out there, and only streaming in standard def even though 720p was already the norm for anime broadcasts.

Yeah at worst you can say he got bamboozled by not reading the fine print on the contract and being naive assuming good faith, but he literally had no reason to assume Funimation would backstab him like this given their amiable working relationship over several years. It was full on treachery on the part of Funimation.

Fuck you namefag and they have to prove it not him.

Fuck you and your shit taste. We didn't need more cancer that rivals Demarco's creations.

They wanted more money.

Even if Toonami is not doing so good, canning it sounds like a terrible idea, especially since [as] is losing all its Fox shows in the coming years. They're honest to god going to need bodies, if nothing else.

The departure of the Fox shows is probably the reason why Toonami is still around.

Toonami has been struggling for years now.
Just put it out of its misery.

I don't think it was all that censor-happy when it aired. I could be wrong.

I actually use old P2P shit like Direct Connect still. Haven't used torrents much. (Okay. Maybe some harder to find JAV vids.) Though I've been meaning to try out stuff like Crunchyroll and get back into more current anime.

I used to do the same.
Then I skipped it one week and never really had the urge to watch it again.
I sometimes still shitpost in the thread though.

Not much.

Yep, been looking forward to the lack of fanservice, male characters being shat on for liking women, and women curbstomping and in general being cunts to the guys.

Sorry waifufag that sounds obnoxious.

>FLCL was a money pit
That fits in with some of the more devoted regulars here narrative so I may call bullshit on that alone. But the fact that you can't reveal the two shows that got canned when it's a known fact that promos were made and ready to air for them is strike two.
>it does not, and will not, have Toonami airing any shows licensed by CR
However if this is true and the Crunchyroll deal doesn't lead to any access to the shows they have licensed then that would be some shit. But it's weird how neither party, Toonami or CR came out and cleared that up to avoid confusion

I'm actually considering bailing. I never thought it'd get so bad where I couldn't even support it for the general anymore. I enjoy shitposting with you guys but not like this, and not when actual fans of this shit are going to leak in, this is Yea Forums after all.

Not even posting a reaction image. Fuck everyone involved with this, I don't even think I'll stick around for Food Wars fanservice memery. I enjoyed its first night, that's good enough.

That sounds like a lot of money being used up all at once. If these aren't hits, it's game over. Literal hail mary play.

The block is stagnating and the ratings are dropping. They are pulling all the stops now to keep this block a float and gain more viewers, by any means necessary.

When MHA tanked everyone should have known just how bad things are

One of them must be something Cowboy Bebop-related. If they can pull FLCL from the retirement home, they can do the same to Bebop.

>airing gen lock
He's not even being subtle anymore

Do we really need more Bebop? We sure as hell didn't need more FLCL

it was naive to think MHA would do well. Not only did everyone see it before, DeMarco literally told everyone to watch it somewhere else, but at that time, the deal Funimation had with Hulu seemed tight.

Alright well they can do that without me, I know myself isn't enough to matter, that's not what I'm getting at mind you, but whatever they fuck they're doing it's just hard to sit through. I love the sense of community at the end of the week with you guys, but this is just too much at once. If everything else was alright and then Blade Runner anime, and they spaced this shit apart some, then fine, that'd be acceptable, but this is burning too fast. We already don't have this and just bad anime picks right now and I've considered skipping a week before. I mean I don't because these threads are, for the most part, enjoyable, but even if we had 70% of people sticking to their guns that this has all been a disaster series of moves, the 30%, or hell even 10%, are going to be insufferable.

I'm not sticking around for people to fall into this trap again. It's fun when we all know when something is shit, not when its defended. What a fucking clusterfuck of 2 days this has been.

>Do we really need more Bebop?
That is not for you to decide. It's all up to DeMarco, Lazzo and the rest of [as], and Watanabe if he wants them to do whatever they want with it.

Throwback to the end-times of original Toonami where they were reduces to airing reruns of Bakugan, Dragonball Z, and Ben 10: Alien Force with Naruto as the sole premiere

They actually did not cut anything except maybe some frames from the rape scenes. They gave it special 1 hour slots and everything. And yet it did abominably, I think that's what soured Demarco on going for different shows than normal Toonami fare. He really went out of his way to make Hellsing Ultimate happen, rearranging the schedule especially for it, and viewers just poopoo'd it.

Damn should have asked [as]user when the estimated time of the forge airing is.

At least Nardo will always be better than Bort

Hey, at least I can hand it to you being strong enough to leave. The rest of us have Battered Wife Syndrome with this block.

/m/ here, been watching it and it's a fucking chore with awful comedy, if Gen:Lock doesn't end Toonami this might finish the job. If Netflix Ultraman didn't air it would easily count as worst anime of the year, do not trust ANN and yes I've seen W'z and Afterlost. Uwe Boll movies are more engaging that this.

I buy manga and import BDs and merch from Japan. I refuse to support parasitic licensing industry that contributes nothing and actively ruins anime and manga for people.

I'd have it worse if I was here from the beginning of this revival, I started watching maybe 1 and a half years ago at this point. I missed a lot of the good stuff and its heights that would have made me want to stay and not accept the difference. Really sucks I missed it. I came for the mediocre and am leaving at the announcement of rock bottom.

I haven't watched it yet, did they butcher the manga?

I should rephrase that, I didn't come here for the mediocre, I just came into it.

Holy hell you sound autistic. I could understand somebody going "manga is better" for Kimetsu but this is just beyond the pale autism.

They could have saved Toonami by finally getting some nerve and just aired this;

Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail
Speed Grapher
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Static Shock

Toonami has become prime comedy at this point.

Yeah for most of us the decline has been gradual. The block peaked in 2015 and after that we saw more and more bad decisions and mismanagement leading to viewer bleed-off. The cord cutters contributed, but you can't chalk everything up to that considering Toonami's numbers plummeted earlier and harder than other shows on AS at the time. The stagnation of the block and gradual die off of hype premiers and fresh content was just slow enough that nobody had a visceral reaction of disgust to it, the remembrance of the good times was still alive in our minds, the desire to keep the party going was still strong.

Nothing better than unintentionally funny.

I knew something was going to go wrong with this block when I heard Panty & Stocking was practically handed to DeMarco on a silver platter and he just "Eww, keep that away!".

Literally all you need to know to stay way from this block is that the runner hates fanservice.

A lot of the current problems are of Demarco's making. Not all of them though. In fairness, Funimation's backstabbing cost the block a lot of potential shows, and competition from other sources also cuts into Toonami's niche, and those cuts are starting to hurt.

But in the main, Demarco did make many bad decisions and steered the block in a dead-end direction.

It was at some point also on Crunchyroll. I think it's still there.

It's an adequate show, if a little safe (likely due to someone high up the chain saying "if this doesn't make more than $X we're killing this shit forever, stick to the greatest hits and the selling points for now")

>boruto manga is ugly and boring as sin
Yeah no, the manga is pretty great. You just got shit taste user.

>reads boruto
>calls other peoples' taste shit
You're fucking deluded. You read actual garbage and think you have the right to criticize anybody.

I don't read manga, what I do know is that it constantly whiplashes between gory horror story and shonen jump slapstick comedy. The Room had more awareness than this shit.

The art offers much to be desired, but the story is better than the anime's.

That is such a low bar to clear and it's so obvious you have no idea of it because your taste is just that bad. You have no perspective.

If [as] is still around: How hard did Iron Blooded Orphans crash (ratings or reception)? Has Gundam Reconguista been considered to air on Toonami?

I see plebs complaining about "tone whiplash" in anime a lot, it's a pretty good sign you have a room temp IQ and can't handle a show throwing multiple moods at you cause you can only focus on one thing at a time.

The pacing might be different in the anime, but you're pretty much describing why the manga is good.
Maybe you just have shit taste.

Autistic or not he is right, it's fucking horrible. Think Kekkaishi after a lobotomy while high on weed. Don't come whining when blonde guy shows up and makes diaper grape boy from Hero Academia look like Rambo in comparison.

>More Black Lagoon
>Save the block
More like give it one final decisive blow, the Toonami audience doesn't want actual dark adult shows.

the only time i felt this way was with promised neverland, some things seemed comedic (or really were supposed to be) at the same scene of them discussing how to break themselves and many other children out of a death trap

Nobody actually likes Speed Grapher except me though.

IBO S1 did pretty decent, S2 no so well.

I watch a lot of anime regularly, tone whiplash is justified for this one.

I'm guessing a lot of people didn't want another session of Crisis on Infinite Chit Chat When Any Other Gundam Can Deliver All The Goods And Better. I mean shit, Mari Okada can do mecha well if M3 was any indication.

Put Devil May Cry when AoT ends.

[adult swim] needs to add the Aquarion trilogy at some point. Seeing heads explode if Logos aired on TV would be amazing. Or Nobunaga The Fool and Unit Pandora.

Unit Pandora's on Netflix so that's a no-go, also the CGI from the original Aquarion series is extremely dated, and in some cases worse than Gonzo CGI.

Then they should start with Logos and go backward. Or start with The Fool.

>also the CGI from the original Aquarion series is extremely dated
Looks good to me.

I'll be impressed if they don't actually budge and keep MHA at the end of the block until it's over.

The problem with Nobunaga The Fool is that it is devoid of humor. As in devoid of any comedy. It's a very serious semi-historical semi-fantasy setting that acts like a play with giant robots. Imagine Samurai Jack without any comic relief and more realistic art. And Aquarion Logos? It is Japanese wordplay: The Anime. Even Japan thought it was too wordplay heavy. Without translator notes audiences will be lost fast and Funimation deals with Aquarion.

So ow badly did MHA do on toonami?

Logos has its own meme:

>this is the most reposted image on /wsr/

Gen:Lock is about as Anime as Last Air bender or Dragon Prince

To say the least I'm very interested in this week's ratings.

Aquarion requires viewers to be familiar with various concepts of mythology and communications theory, it goes further in philosophical deep dives than stuff like Evangelion, Death Note, Monster, etc. Normies wouldn't comprehend it and I'm pretty sure SJWs would go ballistic at EVOL's end.

Yea and those have similar problems as it too. Avatar had that really random feminist thing going on in the first season (and ignoring what came after and how the creators got much worse), and I heard Dragon Prince wasn't free from that writing either, but that's too be expected since its a modern cartoon.

Yea Forums lapped up Dragon Prince though around its debut because this board's waifufags are the worst of them.

>SJWs would go ballistic at EVOL's end.
Which part, the main hero for the first two series turning out to be the reincarnation of an angel dog? Or the girl that won did so by doing nothing while the girl that lost actively tried to fight for the MC's attention and got shat on very thoroughly in the last quarter? Now granted, Zessica deserved most of it and Mikono is the only woman in the franchise worth fapping to, I'm just saying specification is necessary.

>Yea Forums lapped up Dragon Prince though around its debut
I remember people being slip about it.
Liking it but also hating it but solely because of the frame rate.
Honestly I never noticed the Waifufagging until S2 happened

So it really is a smart people only franchise, understood.

Just because you want to bang something doesn't make it good.

Seconding, Active Raid was proof of this. BTW [as] user if you ever get a say don't bring over Active Raid. Pilot Candidate was better than AR.

>he wanted a cheap shitty CG mech series

Good thing I didn't say that then.

So what would you call Boruto?

If you want a true example of tone whiplash, check out Taboo Tattoo. It happens so much towards the end that it completely sucks the impact of most of the huge final developments out in the most hilarious and unintentional way possible

is demarco trying to replace us with the woke tumblr/reddit audience

Trash with some delicious eye candy.

Has [as] ever considered getting Full Metal Panic?

They are going to be awful. They didn’t promote the new schedule at all, only that Food Wars and Gundam were airing. Herofags probably tuned in at 10:30 and figured their shit was cancelled

They are an actual studio by basic standards that are riding the coattails of 'small Indy studio' in name to hide their mediocrity for years now.

Well he would definitely like them better then us.

That audience doesn't buy nor watch anything. They only dwell on Twitter to complain.

>another disgusting black haired mongrel playing a blonde

Then you worded the previous post badly.

Delicious eye candy is the opposite of ugly and boring.

You'd think they would try and move past making shows that look like early 2000s CG cartoons after nearly a decade.

You've never seen Active Raid, I can tell.

One character that you find attractive doesn't save the entire manga from sucking ass, you admitted this yourself.

Their fans are at the level of SW fanatics because of how they evolved from YT stars to a millennial's version of hollywood. They don't need good content, they just have numerous personalities in just their staff (even fucking people doing their management are stars) which makes viewers think they can make it big there if they get a job. Because
>you don't need to be a good animator
>you don't need to be professional
>you don't need to be good writers
Just be loud and kinda know a thing or two about what you want a job in and bam, intern. And interns get on to be made fun of until they become popular (like that one guy Blaine or whatever) and then you have a job.

>Pilot Candidate
Wow. That's a name I haven't heard... in a long time. It was a good fr.. wait. No. It was a shitty show.

Just because you don't personally like the art style, doesn't make the manga suck ass fag.

But user she has a SCOTTISH ACCENT thats her most defining trait, plus she is RUDE and has girl power!

>Has Gundam Reconguista been considered to air on Toonami?
No more Gundam, please. It's time in the US came and went almost two decades ago, and viewers now don't want 25+ episodes of people just talking about how war is bad. Also Reconguista isn't dubbed

He's a huge weeb and couldn't get any Japanese studios to work with him and liked Grey's pitch.

It was meh

>that voice cast
Holy shit.

They couldn't find any bonnie Scottish lasses willing to swear as much as necessary to voice Cammie. Maisie's gutter mouth was their only option.

Are you fucking stupid? I said an attractive character stops a manga from being boring and ugly. Don't be fucking stupid.

The based Japanese guy who thinks the genderfluid character is weird also has a famous Japanese voice actor (his lines are all in Japanese, everyone has ocular implants that create subtitles for languages they don't understand).

I'm completely joking about the Disney thing, I hope I wasn't ironically right.

Pretty sure its gonna air on Hulu

No that's not Charlie Sheen it's just Maisie Williams.

It's not gonna air on television ever or it airs later at some point in time on Toonami.

Isn't Genndy's new show airing on Toonami?

Funimation did the dub, and they still hold some control on it. That’s why we didn’t get the dub premiere

no

genndy said he was pissed samurai jack got 'stuck on toonami' and felt like toonami held the show's success back

That character design looks awful

AS thinks it will kill the block if they do

Can't be worse than the shit Machinima pawned off to Tatsunoko .... right?

Fuck really?

Bakugan launched. Toonami died not too soon after.

Bakugan just relaunched. Toonami is dying.

Really makes you think.

Bebop is getting a live action show on Netflix starring John Cho, Toonami can't afford the rights anymore.

Oh hi, /m/, I see you still haven't watch gen:LOCK. You guys were very rude when I tried to make a thread speculating about the variable geometry turbofans on the aircraft in the first episode.

I tried to stay up for MHA last night but fell asleep during Gundam. What was the episode about?

Game of thrones style politics, i dug it

Dozel tanked a point blank explosion

some things they have no choice but to deal with toonami on

for instance, they signed a contract way back when giving toonami first rights to air future episodes of attack on titan

or how toei forces funi to put DBS on toonami

/m/ doesn't watch western stuff.

And no one here has actually seen gen:LOCK. Everyone just sees Rooster Teeth and assumes it's shit and will be scratching their heads when it improves Toonami's ratings because a good show is a good show regardless of Yea Forums's shitposting about it.

Gang Orca showed up to terrorize children.

Cartoon Network can't even air the latest developments in the manga if they get animated. People will start shrieking about antisemitism and fascism.

Explain foodwars

The art is fine, a different art style that's steadily improving with every chapter.

It’s not a good show though

Wasn’t Demarco’s choice more than likely. With the confirmation that they lost two shows last second, that only furthers the notion they may have had to rush into something

just fucking air subbed anime, wtf is wrong with them? There's so much shit that's good that's never ever getting a fucking dub and it would be so damn easy to do.

>>/m/ doesn't watch western stuff.
>Like I said better taste

Just wait until they air High Guardian Spi—oh wait

>supposed to come out in “early 2019”
>0 news since august of last year

they tried that once, ratings sucked

Subed anime will tank, its never gonna happen

Oh, Toonami's already fucked from breaking up with Funi, nothing's gonna save it. This is just gonna be its highest rated show as it goes down in flames because of the star power of the voice cast drawing curious normies to the block and might get picked up for Adult Swim once Toonami tanks.

It also doesn't look cheap, you're probably just cherrypicking the human animations. The mechs and military tech are on point.

But you can't explain why because you're just joining in on Yea Forums's anti-RT groupthink. You've never actually seen it.

Wait, what?
Breaking up with Funi?

>It also doesn't look cheap

toonami isnt funding the production. it already aired its first run on that dumping ground rooster teeth uses for their backers. we're getting a glorified rerun

>It also doesn't look cheap
All CG mech shit looks cheap, at least Sunrise pairs its cheap CG with 2d animation.

Funi isn't letting Toonami have MHA season four, so their relationship is incredibly strained at the moment. A positive relationship with Funi allowing them to get good deals on decent anime is the only reason the revival happened. Toonami can't compete with what streaming services pay for anime because subscription streaming is a far more lucrative way to monetize anime than selling ad space.

RT pushed to find a network to rerun it on because they knew it was too good to leave behind their paywall.

It doesn't look weird or uncanny if everything is CG. The "shitty CG mech" trope is from Japanese studios using CGI to cut animating costs in otherwise drawn shows because of the detail involved in drawing mechs.

Simulcast subbed anime premieres will not tank

Considering they had no clips, no story to talk about, basically no concrete details of any kind, I wasn't really expecting anything. It sounds more like something that was early in the ideation phase of its life and they only talked about it because they wanted to virtue signal about the diversity of the cast and how diverse it was gonna be etc. Basically a hype video for how exciting it is that the thing is being made, just like existing is a triumph, which is how you know it doesn't really have any good ideas. Otherwise they'd be talking about the ideas.

>aimed at adults
Could've fooled me with this trash line up for 13 year olds

Only until the cancerous dragontard audience burns off and gets replaced by actual anime fans.

Manchildren are technically adults.

Taboo Tattoo is shit for so many reasons besides "tone whiplash".

Are you sure this site is for you? Have you tried fucking off to leddit?

The people who watch toonami don't fucking care about western series. (even when well done and non PC infested) There is already a place for that shit.. known as the rest of TV! These morons either don't know or don't care about who watches toonami and why/for what.

If anybody wasn't clear on the type of people running the block before.. Avoiding fanservice at any costs, trying to turn toonami into the homoerotic power hours, shoving in nonsensical "music" videos completely out of tone or style with toonami or its base, going out of their way to not step on any outside PC feel-feels, fucking with the time slots and fucking certain shows over, the retarded limit on series age etc. It should be pretty clear now after this, what kind of moronic fuckwad degenerates we are dealing with.

Na, even that place isn't generally this bad. He needs to go to tumblr or something.

>BC

Are you fucking retarded? That was doing better week in and week out than MHA did immediately after stealing it's spot. Then continued to usually stomp all over Edgelord x Edgelord and jojos homoerotic adventures and other series around it. In some cases over an hour earlier than it. If anyone wants a good reason for the falling numbers then look no further than the time slot retardary!

/m/ user who hasn't seen any of Gen:Lock but knows about the show here. From what I've seen it looks fairly derivative, the designs are all reminiscent of Full Metal Panic and the whole "linking directly to the robot" thing has been done so many times I can't even think of when it started. I have a friend who says it gets better beyond that though so I MIGHT have to give it a shot.

That said, it probably won't kill Toonami. In terms of ratings, it'll probably do poorly but the other shows should be doing better.

That said, I AM looking forward to Demon Slayer because that shit looks really pretty

That would be beyond fucking unforgivable. It was a HUGE part of the ep/impact..

Ugh if true.. I knew it. We need to get these people far away from toonami as possible.

>Doesn’t work that way. The check has already been cut. It’s airing in full so we get our money’s worth. The only way it would get pulled is if it has offensively bad performance

Thank god.. Sometimes i think the "fans" are a bigger threat to the block than the people who run it.

Fuck off nitwit. It's people and opinions like this that are ruining this block and running it into the ground!

>It would be better than trying the same tired things that don’t work over and over. We missed peak isekai period that really could have grown an audience

Yup.. But the block is being run like their own personal anime collection. So nothing outside of a few peoples tastes ever have a chance.

Yet we have idiots screaming about how if they just did the same exact thing a little bit different of a way, everything would be good..

No shit. I never said it wasn’t. I’m saying it’s a great example of tone whiplash

You're sounding really close to actually thinking this shit.. That is, sounding like a SJW fuckwad.. I think you're in the wrong place if this is what you think.

Sadly they are everywhere right now it seems.

How is DeMarco gonna get his shonen that his main benefactor (Funimation) has turned their backs on him?

Given the type of music videos being forced in, the FLCL 2&3 and the hysterical aversion to fanservice despite it accounting for some of their most successful series in the past.. I'd say that much should have been clear. ugh

It at least sounded better than the others.

From Sentai or Aniplex's past libraries, it's not like Funi has a monopoly on shonen shows

But they usually nab the hottest Shonen.
