Absolutely incredible season finale from Eric Andre. Bird Up! is one of my favorite bits of his.

oh goddamnit, i was afraid that that was the finale

i knew that they wouldn't go off-format for anything less, but i was still hoping that there would be more new ones beside that

Yeah, but it's all jokey. I can't imagine why on Earth a censor would be appalled by the "nudity' in Kill la Kill after passing other stuff that's aired before midnight before.

Do you not understand that American culture is one obsessed with nudity more than violence? Like there's nothing that's aired on Toonami so far that's visually as terrible as the mother loving her daughter with the exception of kid Alucard being raped and they edited that scene the gently caress down.

Oh my loving god, why are there so many words here

Holy poo poo, it's DBZ Kai. Everyone loving loves DBZ, Kai has only aired in its entirety on like Nickolodeon in the past and not to mention they're probably getting rights to the Buu Saga which will air exclusively on Toonami at that point. There's nothing they can really get that people are going to care about with the exception of a surprise HunterxHunter announcement and there's been no word of any localization company putting anything into that, ditto on JoJo.

I acknowledged that.

I wouldn't think KLK would need much editing to be any worse then anything else shown on Toonami or Adult Swim, outside of a particular scene or two.

I get what you're saying, though, and I agree about DBZ too, It's a pretty good get for Toonami even if it is technically old.

I really don't understand why HunterxHunter doesn't have a dub by now though, I would've thought that'd be a thing Funimation would've swept up no problem, but nope.

Yeah but nudity in KLK is basically featureless due to the style of the animation.

Argus Zant posted:

no, i mean like, what could they get in 2015 that would be fresh & exciting enough to pull viewers but wouldn't have too much objectionable content to bar it from being shown before midnight

Here are the top 5 requested shows as of a month ago:

- Sailor Moon (old show might be a turn-off, and I hope to god they don't get Crystal)
- Kill La Kill (FULFILLED)
- Sword Art Online Season II (everyone believes this show is a lock for later this year)
- Attack on Titan Season II (doesn't exist yet)
- Hunter X Hunter (been addressed)

Argus Zant posted:

now they've just gotten KLK, which was another New, Exciting Hotness that Everybody and Their Mother has been clamoring for literally since last year
but they're not putting it into the pre-midnight slot, likely because it's too skeevy to show then
so instead we get DBZK, which is I think several years old already, not to mention it's already been running on the block since November

When KLK was announced, it was announced for 11:30.

Argus Zant posted:

so what would/could they get in 2015 that would be

A)Relatively recent/new
B)Unobjectionable for airing at 2330

Funimation has been experimenting with speedy dubs lately, so honestly anything they've recently simulcast on their website is on the table. Psycho-Pass II is being dubbed and streamed as we speak. Tokyo Ghoul was pretty popular last year. We probably won't see another mega-hit like Attack on Titan for another 7-10 years.

To put the power of DBZ in perspective, according to Funimation, DBZ: Battle of Gods outsold both Attack on Titan and the Cowboy Bebop BD.

DBZ is just so well known in America. It was the gateway drug for a lot of kids. Even some people who don't give a poo poo about the rest of anime love Dragon Ball.

Which is why it's perfect for 11:30, so you can get the normal Adult Swim crowd watching as well. I don't think KLK is very suited for the 11:30 slot because it doesn't really have a lot of non-anime fan appeal, whereas Space Dandy was the new series from the guy that created Bebop, and critics were (dumbly) comparing Attack on Titan to The Walking Dead, plus it was a MEGA-hit, so there might be a bit of periphery appeal there.

Yeah, I wasn't arguing against DBZ being there, just that I didn't think KLK needed to be midnight on because of content. It's very smart to start out with Dragon Ball Z.

Didn't the guy in charge of the block also say "This isn't just an anime block, but an action block" What kind of western action cartoons are there to be shown on Toonami? The whole DCAU is out because CN and WB are idiots, Megas XLR is the only other option off the top of my head.

There's been Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Sym-Bionic Titan, the Thundercats reboot, and Beware the Batman. But all of those are either lost rights or written off.
