Toonami will replace Kai with their own dubbed version of Bakemonogatari, all the voices will be dubbed by Steve Blum.
It might not be new enough to be on a lot of people's radar. Remember that like 99% of what gets requested is the brand-new hype thing coming out.

If Fairy Tail gets a slot before Hunter X Hunter someone is going to get lynched
The Boruto anime is completely unrelated to the manga right now. It has recurring characters and important plot threads that aren't even mentioned in the manga. The only similarity is the opening scene.
It's most likely going to be another Dragon Ball Super situation, where the manga is more of a glorified promotion for the anime.

Dude, I would pay all the money to hear Nadeko with Orochimaru's voice. Hell, just having him sing Renai Circulation as Orochimaru would be worth it.

I will say, I feel like with Fairy Tail, if they really wanted to air it on the block, it would've been added by now. Especially since there was a time where both DBZ Kai and Naruto Shippuden's licensing weren't available for them.
It once again made it into the top requested shows at the moment, along with Jojo, My Hero Academia, freakin' DB Super (I don't know why), & no real #5 since it just becomes a 40-way tie.

I don't think Fairy Tail ever happens without Hunter x Hunter or Naruto leaving
like, by the time Hunter x Hunter alone runs its course that show is gonna be old as fuck

How the hell did FT zombie its way back on the list?!?
I'm not complaining, just impressed!
FT because of its mediocrity ends up being better than both Naruto and Bleach, Nowhere near the highs but also nowhere near the depths either.
It's long, to be sure, but not impossibly long like One Piece/Bleach/Naruto.
It's got a first rate dub. Better than Bleach or Naruto, a little bit worse than One Piece.

At this point, DeMarco and Co. need to stop listening to fan requests for shows.
The last few requested shows that made it on the block haven't done very well in ratings.

Fairy Tail has a good chance to have another anime season announced since the manga is ending in less then 10 chapters. After the last season ended (went through all but the final arc) they did another film which was fairly successful. Final arc is long enough that it could still be relevant around the time dbz kai ends on the block.
Dbz Kai, super, and opm haven't done well?

They definitely planned on doing it after the last stop and restart worked out pretty well.

Probably a done deal, or perhaps it's popularity has sank like a rock once it stopped airing in Japan. Considering they did that poll of what shows you'd like to see and all of them sans mob have shown up I'll lean on done deal.
Words of truth.

Our Samurai Jack review begins around 1:28:24.

Dragon Ball shows always do well. (Super's kinda underperforming slightly)
From what I can remember, OPM did good.
Everything else did average or below average for their time slots.
Good lord no. Tokyo Ghoul is a new low point, the worst show that I'd only put ahead of AGK/Beware the Batman/Tenchi Muyo GXP. It's the line. Might end up below AGK at this rate because they killed the only interesting character and we're not even 1/3rd of the way through.

No lie. I would probably stop watching Toonami (or just tune out early) if they ever acquired Fairy Tail.
And Tokyo Ghoul's lackluster anime is the lesser of two evils.

Has anyone seen Alien: Covenant? I spoiled myself on it, and now feel no desire to see it at all.
I feel like it suffers from the same problem I had with Rogue One, but even worse. From "Do you wanna know how the rebellion got the death star plans?" to
While telling us the former is just eh, who cares, telling us the latter actively takes away from previous movies.

I just want Mob Psycho 100 so more people can be introduced to the greatest con man with a heart of gold, Reigen!
The absolute best character in MP100.
Ridley Scott seems to have totally forgotten what he knew when he was younger and that was to show not tell and to leave things unspoken and mysterious. Revealing everything in such a blatant fashion just seems heavy handed and destroys any mystique there is and worse, what's left to your imagination is often far worse than just laying it all out there for us to see. I'm so glad he's not directing the Blade Runner sequel.

Prometheus knew what it wanted to be and embraced it while being very flawed
Alien Covenant wants to be a sequel to prometheus and a remake of the original Alien. The alien half of the film is easily the best Alien film since the original two (top 3 alien film... yeah not saying much) and the prometheus half again suffers from the same issues prometheus did. Fassbender steals the show and the scenes of him interacting with himself are a real treat.

Endless trash
Tokyo Ghoul, as bad as the anime is, is only 24 episodes. That's vastly preferable to 277 episodes of Fuck This
Seriously. I feel that's something that didn't need an explanation.

I knew the Aliens franchise was heading into an abyss of pure suckage after AvP.
Just remember there were rumors of Cameron being potentially interested in working on a new Alien movie but they went with AvP instead
Oh that was comparing Alien 3 to Aliens, sorry.
Alien 3 like CC is seen as something that took the ending of it's previous entry and shat on it in an overly depressing manner.
Alien 3 is better than Prometheus because Prometheus isn't very good.

I thought we all agreed not to talk about Chrono Cross in this thread.
Chrono Cross is too good for kids these days.
