Hej min vän, hur står det till?

Argus Zant posted:

"Quality Control" is just a myth; this block has aired plenty of garbage anime in the past and will undoubtedly do so again in both the near and distant future

if you're asking why they picked up AgK specifically, it's probably because Sentai was only charging pennies for the broadcast rights on account of the anime bombing so hard that the manga author was told to shut it down and get out by whoever the gently caress was publishing it

I think cost is definitely the most major reason, but the 2nd might be that they're holding on to a really outdated sense of what counts as 'mainstream' (let alone trying to chase that idea with an already-niche medium), staying pretty safely in the realm of shonen battle action. AgK in terms of visual style and content is the most paint-by-numbers averaging of what Toonami has aired over the years. Every once in a while a Paranoia Agent slips through, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a Haikyuu or Yuri on Ice to show up anytime soon.

I probably won't be able to stream anything on Saturday on this hotel wi-fi, but I could still host Goonami if we watched something on Youtube. I found the old Brak Show variety specials on there the other day.

LAST WEEK ON TOONAMI

Dragon Ball Super: Goten and Trunks go shopping for toilet water.

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Gohan becomes a high school student.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph fights a vampire.

Gundam Unicorn: Members of the Neo-Zeon (Zeon is an empire of space colonies who long ago were like "gently caress Earth" and caused some poo poo) group "The Sleeves" travel to Side 4's Industrial 7 colony to rendezvous with Cardeas Vist of the Vist Foundation and retrieve a mysterious item known as "Laplace's Box." Little do they know that Zeon Princess Mineva Lao Zabi has stowed away aboard the ship with the intent of meeting Vist on her own accord. Meanwhile, Anaheim Electronics Academy student Banagher Links detects Mineva's presence and commandeers a mobile worker to rescue her from falling through the colony's sky.

They're magical martial arts abilities. It's broken up into several different types and each person has a higher proficiency in one type over the others. The types are arranged into a wheel to show which types are more closely related. If a type is adjacent to your primary type, you won't have too much trouble learning it, but your maximum potential is not as high as in your primary type. If you try and learn one on the opposite side of the wheel you're basically loving yourself over.

I noticed that Samurai Jack is being played on Saturday nights after Dragon Ball Super. I seriously hope they aren't going to air the last season at the end of the year after showing the other seasons.

I mean, I didn't get a confirmation either way from what my plans were, but I guess I could open up Goonami if you really want and do those Brak Shows.

A lot of this doesn't add up when you think about it. Jack is from feudal Japan, yet trained in ancient Egypt and ancient Rome, as well as with Vikings and Robin Hood.

what stands out to me is that apart from a few lines from Aku, and Jack's dad telling the story of the Magic Sword, there is zero dialogue in this entire episode

and yet! it tells a complete story; one that another, lesser show would have spread out over multiple episodes, possibly entire seasons, with copious amounts of talking
