Vermicious Knid January 21, 2022 Share January 21, 2022 I had never heard of Made in Abyss, and I also never hated a main character so much after just one episode. So I looked it up and basically, torture porn. Was anyone asking for this? Why does Toonami think this is a good idea? Link to comment

One Piece! Nothing porn-like about that! Link to comment

Vermicious Knid January 31, 2022 Share January 31, 2022 No Demon Slayer season 2. It's success has made it too expensive for Toonami. Link to comment

How expensive could it be to import? C'mon, doesn't Toonami have Time-Warner money? Maybe they could run the second season and not air . . . oh, I dunno . . . the next batch of filler in Naruto: Shippuden. I heard the Infinite Tsukuomi filler is six months long. Who needs that?

Lantern7 February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 Heads up: Blade Runner: Black Lotus wraps up tonight. Its replacement starting next week: Attack on Titan. I’m assuming this is the last batch of episodes. Link to comment
TheGreenKnight February 9, 2022 Share February 9, 2022 Glad to hear Blade Runner is over... No interest in that one. And Shenmue is terrible. That really sucks about Demon Slayer. :( I hope they could still at least afford to re-run the first season sometime. If they're re-running Shippuden, Bebop, and One Piece, I wouldn't mind seeing Fairy Tail or Bleach in the lineup again. I wonder why they've never ran Sailor Moon (the VIZ dub) or Sailor Moon Crystal--also too expensive for them? Link to comment
Vermicious Knid March 19, 2022 Share March 19, 2022 The previous two additional series of FLCL brought absolutely nothing to the franchise and I expect the same of these. Shenmue is more watchable than Fena, although I realize that's a pretty low bar. And Shippuden desperately needs a Kai version with all the filler cut out. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid May 1, 2022 Share May 1, 2022 Shenmue ends tonight, schedule changes for the next two weeks. AS will lead at midnight with an extra Shippuden, then Primal season 1 takes over. Surprised they don't have anything new on deck. We still don't have a premiere date for Uzumaki or the new horror series they announced. Dr Stone season 2 has already been broadcast in Japan so maybe we'll get that next. Link to comment

Way past bedtime for me, but I should mention the second season of Dr. Stone has been broadcast on Toonami already. Also, I think Attack on Titan is over . . . at least the latest batch from the “final season.” My fear is that Luffy will become King of the Pirates before that series ends. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid May 2, 2022 Share May 2, 2022 Season 3 then. I know it hasn't been shown in the US yet. Yeeaaah, I fear just how many 'final' seasons there will be with AoT. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid June 29, 2022 Share June 29, 2022 Uzumaki delayed again. It's only four episodes, and they've been working on it for like three years. Interesting they have also chosen not to add anything new and instead thrown on an extra episode of Naruto. Link to comment
Terrafamilia October 1, 2022 Share October 1, 2022 New show tonight. A horror-themed anime called Housing Complex C. https://youtu.be/5cyTGR1Rbds Also, I wasn't aware Yashahime has been back. I didn't notice it showing up on my t.v.'s channel guide before now. Link to comment
Terrafamilia October 4, 2022 Share October 4, 2022 So, Housing Complex C. Lovecraft in Japan. They start with a flash-forward, then a flash-back to ancient times. I'd rather they hadn't done that, it seemed way too spoilery for me. It would have been better if they let the creepiness build on its own and have the horror blossom from that instead of front-loading your expectations. YMMV. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid October 4, 2022 Share October 4, 2022 I was thinking it's like a Japanese equivalent of building on an ancient Indian burial ground. We didn't see Kimi's mother did we, just Kimi talking at her. Very sus. Only four episodes so they will have to move the story along quickly. Link to comment

Exposition and gore in an unholy slurry, and I think a lack of knowledge of Japanese culture doesn’t help me at all. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid October 29, 2022 Share October 29, 2022 According to my DVR new season of MHA starts next week along with season 2 of Made in Abyss. It's also the end of DST which can mess with recording. 1 Link to comment
Lantern7 February 17, 2023 Share February 17, 2023 Next three weeks, next three “events”: THIS WEEK: Injustice, based on the video game where Superman goes totalitarian after the death of Lois. NEXT WEEK: Justice League vs. Fatal Five, featuring the new take on the Legion of Super Heroes: MARCH 4: This is a weird one . . . the half-hour special starring the casts of One Piece, Dragon Ball Z and Toriko. I’ve never watched the last one, but I did read some of the manga. Good stuff. Link to comment
Vermicious Knid February 19, 2023 Share February 19, 2023 Which is presumably why they haven't run any promos for whatever is replacing Made in Abyss. Link to comment
Lantern7 July 23, 2023 Share July 23, 2023 Not bad. Looks like we'll be sliding into that after original FLCL wraps up. There seems to be a lot of original content coming out for the Toonami block. We got trailers for two other series . . . Ninja Kamui . . . . . . and Lazarus . . . . . . . and, at long freakin' last, Uzumaki. My concern is that they'll stop trying to bring in established series from Japan. I know, that's what streaming services are for, but I like seeing that stuff on Toonami. Besides, haven't past original Toonami offerings been hit or miss for the most part? Link to comment
Vermicious Knid July 23, 2023 Share July 23, 2023 Well that does explain the seemingly random showing of FLCL for the umpteenth time. Still not thrilled at them trying to squeeze another buck out of the property. Also wondering if Marvel/Disney will sue over using The Thing? Link to comment
