Remember it's supposed to be a movie, they just chopped it up for tv

when the gently caress has that kind of strategy ever, EVER, resulted in anything that could be described as being better than "aggressively mediocre"

How did anything in that franchise ever get on Toonami.

"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

probably be back in time for Z, though

Dangerous Person posted:

I always forget how great this whole training montage is

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

trip report: Rogue One is tits, but CG Peter Cushing was kinda unsettling

also, i felt cool when i got some of the really arbitrary references

also also, sorta interested in seeing Dunkirk

Not-Peter Cushing is the head of a foundation, and was going to hand over MacGuffin's Box to the smugglers
