Oh wow, I remembered Cowboy Bebop aired on Adult Swim back in early 2000s, also they ran frequently through the 2000s.
Yeah, that’s a good point. I would like to know about that as well.
The Superman slot won’t open till late July, so R&M could fill up to the end of September. Then maybe Uzumaki finally shows up? R&M will likely get a full series marathon as Kamui did, so that can allow them to stall till the first week of October. Of course, this all hinges on Uzumaki actually materializing.
I don’t have the exact quote but someone asked if the status between CR and Toonami has improved and he gave kind of an “eh” then said it changes every 6 months. The Aniplex side seems to be more independent, which is how they landed DS and Lycoris, but MHA is on the Funi side and that’s where all the trouble is.
They aren’t permanent rights, but they do have a long term contract for Bebop. That said, I don’t think that’s something they would be willing to air at 5-7.
Most of what Discotek has is far too old and obscure for Saturdays. Sentai is a good question though. Someone asked him about Urusei a couple months ago, and he didn’t even know the remake had started. It’s been out for over a year. So he hasn’t even glanced at the Sentai catalog in all that time.
Yeah true
Yes, still owned by AMC Networks.
I believe there was some early concern that acquisition would take them off the table but I don’t believe we ever saw any evidence that it hurt the blocks means of getting shows from them. Made in Abyss and Food Wars S5 came long after the merger, and Shenmue and Ninja Kamui are actually Sentai dubs so they are working together on that front too.
I don't buy it, there's other people on staff. Would be a big coincidence if they all have the same gap in knowledge of what's the latest anime and what's popular. Plus, there's simple research online. There has to be some other reason than blaming DeMarco.
He literally admitted in his latest AMA that he didn’t even know that Urusei Yatsura had its new season out. It’s not speculation or exaggeration, he is completely clueless on what’s going on in anime. And the few other people on the staff like Gil are no better. That’s a show 2023 speculators had on their short list for airing on the block because it’s such an entry level pickup, and he didn’t even know it existed. And considering it was one of the biggest titles from Sentai in 2023, it’s pretty hard to believe he even cracked open their catalog for a peek because if he did, it would have been front and center. Yes, the research is simple to do, that’s why it’s so frustrating that he won’t go out and do it.
Keep the circumstances of both in mind. Food Wars was picked up last second when a different show fell through. Had that unknown show deal not fell apart, Food Wars likely never would have aired. And Made in Abyss came after a severe dry period where they had been stalling for over 3 months.
What do you mean? Food Wars never aired with an E/I credit. E/I is for broadcast networks and usually used on Saturday mornings to fulfill FCC requirements of providing educational programming for kids. A TV-MA food sex comedy airing after midnight on cable is hardly the sort of thing that gets assigned an E/I credit.
I mean, if you want E/I anime on Toonami, then Dr. Stone is right there, and most importantly does not open up with a tentacle ecchi gag.
