According to Dave Willis this season of ATHF wasn't originally supposed to be the last season, they only found out partway through working on it. Which, yes, means that it was actually canceled by Adult Swim.

I don't know if I'm gonna like the new show or not, since it spent the whole episode on the fairy tale evil step family. My friend insists it's a really, really good show, so I'm gonna stick with it for now. They also say the dub is terrible, but I really don't see anything wrong with it.

Something I realized yesterday was that Steven Universe would be a great show on Toonami, or at least it would have been back when Toonami's tone was lighter. Something that would fit in flawlessly now though is Kino's Journey. Too bad localization for that series pretty much stalled out after the show.

This kinda shoots down my theory that each episode is gonna feature one of the recurring badguys from the series, culminating in a finale where they take on Dr. Weird one last time. Which would've been cool.

I still can't believe they canceled ATHF for good. That's some bullshit.


If I find out that it got canceled because the Boston episode got leaked, I'm gonna be really really mad.

Obviously they're going to play some good old-fashioned American cartoons like Looney Tunes or Popeye instead of this satanic Japanime.

I stopped buying the DVDs after Volume 4 (though I'm considering buying 5 used for the second SGC2C/ATHF crossover). There have been a handful of good episodes since then, but many of them haven't been memorable.

I'd be surprised if the creators didn't just want to end it. It's been 13 seasons and 15(?) years. Ending now wouldn't change anything

If the network sprung it on them as a surprise, I doubt it. More likely it's just not pulling in the ratings it used to.

I'm genuinely curious as to what the rest of this season's going to look like. Was that a one-off to get people talking or are they going to do weird crap to play out the stretch?

And is anyone else slightly wondering if they've had this final season buildup only to say "Nah, not really. That was the last season of ATHF Forever. See you in 2016." at the end of the season? I know there were a couple "Cancelled"-type commercials/clips (Commercial where they "killed off the characters", Moving van) in the past which weren't serious. They've done strange stuff before; wasn't the announcement that The Brak Show had been cancelled built into the final seconds of what ended up being the final episode?

Well, it's not like shows haven't talked about their cancellation during a normal season or even on the final episode. Aside from Brak, Strangers with Candy did it and American Dad mentioned how they would no longer be on Fox. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm going with the assumption that this is the end.

Also, regarding the episode, the Live episode and Episode 100 were both one-offs that had a wildly different feel from normal ATHF(though 100 still was similar in a way). I'd say, don't expect the rest to be animated or structured like that.

I like the boost mobile (possibly only for how hilarious boost's branding sprawl was at the time) and the live episode, wouldn't put them anywhere near the worst even if they were the biggest outliers. Last night's only joke that landed with me was the mech suit that wouldn't stop building up, since it felt like a live action rendition of their typical gags. I'd have to suffer through it a few more times at 2 AM before calling it the worst, though.

That show...
There's ineptness like Michael Scott, which can be rather endearing because the character himself has some likeability. Then there's just plain annoyingly dumb that isn't alleviated by the character because he's awful.

Same here. Usually ATHF is vaguely amusing enough to get a couple chuckles out of me, but other than the mech suit thing the episode was pretty boring to me.

Michiko and Hatchin looks amazing (although the evil rear end in a top hat family went on a bit too long) and I'm super excited to see it.
