Blue Exorcist Kyoto Impure King Arc

I'll definitely watch this. Wonder if Toonami will pick up this season later.

True but we still have time before this is out and dubbed.

I pretty much like all of the AS comedies.

congratulations for having an opinion.

it is one what we do not share.

I watch AS live action shows religiously and I think, not only are they not an insult to my intelligence, but they are probably the smartest shows on television.

If you personally have trouble wrestling with them, or figuring them out, that's understandable.

But I don't think it's necessarily right of you to go attempting to paint your opinion as some sort of larger reality for everyone.

Taste is taste. It's not the law of the land. Your reality isn't everyone's reality.

Complaining on the internet really doesn't make it any moreso.

I think what you're possibly asserting has more to do with people wanting to be spoonfed bland mainstream bs. Of course people who prefer not to have to think too much aren't going to like shows that you actually have to think a bit to figure out.

nor does it appear to be one shared by the larger television audience, who seem to continue watching AS programming.

you can argue personal taste all you want, but the network has consistently achieved real results. Your opinions don't change that.

also there are lots of people in the world. it's one thing to have opinions, it's another to attempt to force them on everyone.

The TBS thing is a terrible idea. For one thing, there is no infrastructure at TBS for anime. There's no previous relationship with distributors, knowledge of the product, or even desire to showcase said product. TBS is a little busy going after mainstream audiences to concern themselves with niche stuff.

Niche stuff serves Adult Swim perhaps better than any other network, because they understand it, they understand how to use it to grow and maintain an audience.

I can't think of another programming entity in the US that could or would handle anime 1/10th as well as Mike Lazzo and Adult Swim.

You just seem to be sort of attempting to construct a larger complex reality out of some fairly shallow superficial thoughts. There are larger elements at play, such as network branding, commercial interests, contractual obligations, etc etc etc. And history.

TBS wouldn't know what to do with anime. I don't think the Toonami crew would necessarily be comfortable switching networks, because it would be a situation where - "so we're going to do this thing, switch networks, and then in about three months (if that long) they're going to pull the rug out from underneath us and we'll be stuck with nothing".

We even have a real world recent example of how networks handle alternative/niche programming in ADHD.

You honestly seem happiest when you're disagreeing with people. And you don't seem happy with any disagreement unless and until you have twisted it around so that it's somehow about you.

And yet you seem endlessly frustrated by it.

Like a moth who is constantly flying straight at and smashing into light sources, and also made very anxious by light sources.

you seem to seek out those elements in posts that you can use to extend discussions in that adversarial manner that seems to frustrate you, when there are many other ways to view and approach things.

You seem to often be locked into that ASMB style back-and-forth "two posters beating their heads against each other" but it holds no interest for me.

I'm just not interested in - like rather than reading posts and hanging out and sharing/learning stuff, just spewing the same opinion over and over again to hear the sound of my own voice.

You can get a lot of that on the ASMB. I'm hoping it's harder to find here.

but in any event, you have fun with that.

just - like without me.

I'm just hear to hang out.

I think that might be for the best.

and as much as I think there are enough longrunners on the block, I'm still psyched for Jojo.
