The worst part is that even after all that, the next actual episode is just a pointless plot dump on elements that were basically abandoned. If I remember right. Also, this is when their budget starts...stretching... Just look at yesterday's "fight", that kinda turned into a weird blur of colours halfway through before someone found some money to inject into the last 7 minutes or so.

Still prefer it over the organ destroying poo poo that is SAO. Holy crap I don't get how people look forward to that short of hearing the VAs say dumb poo poo. And even then I just sorta pity them rather than appreciate their performance.

I am... very concerned about the content of the next episode, considering the thing I accidentally spoiled for myself several weeks ago by typing "Satsuki" and nothing else into a Google search bar.

Oh yeah, marathons are a pretty sucky reward. Doubly so in this case since there isn't much to rewatch.
You'd want a movie instead or something I feel. What kinda movies did Toonami used to air?

    - Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone (I think it was Memorial Day Weekend 2013/December Movie Month 2014)
    - Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance (I wanna say Labor Day Weekend 2013/DMM '14)
    - Akira (DMM '13/'14)
    - Summer Wars (DMM '13/'14)
    - Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa (DMM '13)
    - Trigun: Badlands Rumble (DMM '13)
    - Dragonball Z: Cooler's Revenge (Memorial Day Weekend 2014/Daylight Savings Time 2014)
    - Fullmetal Alchemist: Sacred Star of Milos (DMM '14)
    - Dragonball Z: Legend of Broly (DMM '14)

they kinda had to re-use stuff for Movie Month 2014, and that hurt the ratings

which has resulted in them saying that they're probably not gonna do another Movie Month again this year, possibly not even ever

and considering this is the second holiday weekend in a row that they've gone with marathons instead of movies, i don't see them using those for movie slots anytime soon either

it kinda sucks

It really is kind of a shame that a dumb loving move that anyone with common sense knew was gonna draw poor ratings might lead to them just flatout not doing a movie month again.

I bet Broly would have drawn in a ton of people if they poorly edited Kirito in there and had him win.

I heard that Vic hates when a new DBZ game comes out, because it usually means he has to record Broly, and he hates doing Broly because it wrecks his throat.

There is speculation that the movie month sucked because they spent their movie budget paying for the last two episodes of Hellsing Ultimate after Funimation screwed them.

Also apparently an Attack on Titan game came out this week on 3DS.

Last New Year's Eve I went to a party, and one of the attendees was a former Funimation employee. He had some interesting stories to tell, but the one that stood out most was about a fan who, at a con, gave Vic a handmade quilt depicting his various roles. Creepy? Maybe. But it sure as hell must have taken a lot of work. Afterward, Mignogna made some dismissive statement about it and left it lying around. Didn't even bother to dispose of it.

Unfortunately no. I could try and ask the guy, but he was a friend of a friend, and to hear him talk about it, his time at Funimation is something he'd rather forget.

Akira on Toonami is how I first watched Akira, so I'm really grateful they did that. Pretty great.

I'm excited for the Kill la Kill marathon, if only because it means Kill la Kill is getting ratings that justify it. I was really excited for KLK to become a popular show here in the west.
