plot twist: the reason why DeMarco said they didn't have any plans to bring back One Piece is because they already were bringing it back

a lot of Bones staff is from sunrise so they'd be an obvious choice to make Big O S3

Roosterteeth is another Otter Media company (basically in the same group as Crunchyroll) so I guess this makes sense. Not sure how the schedule will work for july 20 and 27 though.

I still dunno how RWBY ever got popular as the first 3 seasons are largely terrible, and then most of the fan base hates seasons 4/5 (imo when the show actually got good/interesting).

I do wander if Adult Swim may get RWBY afterwards if Gen:lock does well for them. Will probably need some music videos or other specials to help fill 30-60 minutes for a tv slot.
RWBY Volumes 1 and 2 are rough but people like the cast and the action is cool.

Interesting you don't like Volume 3. It being one of the better Volumes is one of the few things the fanbase can seemingly agree on.

I would love RWBY to get that kind of exposure but Volumes 1-3 rough graphics and inconsistent episode length make me think that'd be more trouble then it's worth.

They've had TWO different series localized by viz that are part of their weekly/monthly simulpubs. Both are terrible in different ways which is amazing.

The first one only works as a companion piece to those who saw the original series

The second one is a scene for scene retelling of the cartoon but it skips important scenes and details which means it's hard to follow without context.

They both have awful artwork.


It's also getting a comic from DC.

From what I know about Gen:lock, it seems like a fascinating show and I think it may pleasantly surprise some of y'all.

"Funimation and Toonami are clearly breaking up!"
"Why does Demarco hate MHA so much?"
"Think this is the end of the block?"

I don't know what Gen:lock is but I do know RWBY did not click with me at all.

Also I missed the post-credits scene for Food Wars due to leaving for work, there a link for the scene dubbed so I can hear how badly Sentai screwed up Erina?

Huh Gen: Lock... weird.
And it's still not replacing SAO
They gotta have a replacement, unless they're doing a rerun.

Erina's voice is about the only one I think they got perfect in the dub.

but keep in mind I think she is one of the least likable characters in anime and that the series would be far better without her in it in general :P (aka she sounds super stuck up and completely unlikable >.>)

Gen:lock is a mech show from the RWBY people.
the animation is quite a bit better than early RWBY but it's still very much a CGI series.

To me it seems like Erina should be like an intelligent but mean type. Like: 'how dare you assault my taste buds with this noxious shit you dolt.'

Like something more like that.

gen:Lock? Wasn't that hinted to come to Toonami from a tweet made by Rooster Teeth a few days ago?

Also the cast is insane. It's nuts how it has some high profile actors doing voice work on a RT show. Wouldn't this count as a really huge get for Toonami?

I like Erina fine later in the series.

She never grows on me, the parts that are designed to make you like her more feel really forced to me, her redemption arc in general is a collection of cliches including one of the worst ones of my parents were mean to me, and finally I blame the existence of her father on her because he wouldn't have been created in the way he was if he didn't actually need to be worse than Erina to make her seem better :/

When the show focused harder on her and her father the quality plummeted, would have been way better if she was just written off and focused on the good characters instead :P

Food Wars only has one good character though.
Nah Food Wars have plenty of good characters. Not really any great characters, but plenty of good ones.
Isshiki is obviously one of the best though :P

Next week on the award winning Black Clover; In a world where magic is everything, Asta, born without magic powers and his teammates Mimosa Vermillion and "Xerx Lugner" face off against Mimosa's brother Kirsch Vermillion, Magna, and Sol Badguy in the first match of the second round! Will Asta and Co. show the true power of the lowborn or will the nobility of Kirsch shine through?

I'm not too bothered by the state of things.

I like Gundam the Origin, and while I don't like MHA at the end, I've seen it before.

Does suck that I can't watch it with you guys tho.

Gundam is coming on too late with too much crap between it for me to want to stay up for it. A fully CG mecha show has absolutely no appeal to me, but gen:LOCK seems short so at least it shouldn't be around for long.

We went from one of the best line-ups to this in weeks lol

It's weird how many shows we have ending within the next 6 weeks with no replacement confirmed outside of gen:lock.
