hopefully this will give the AOT committee more than enough reasons to give it a second season. its way too good an anime series to suffer the same manga laspe fate where people will have to go to the manga to continue with the story just like what happened with Deadman Wonderland , Tokko and especially Claymore. also its good that GL got a release , however it should have been that way from the start instead of Sci Fi. |

What no one has brought up is the fact that, being a holiday weekend, Labor Day ratings will be down substantially across the board for all networks, so there's no sense in [as] burning a bunch of premieres when a bunch of people won't be watching. The only reason that Space Dandy is still premiering that night is to maintain its simulcast status, or at least I'd assume so.

Welp, I guess it's Dandy only that night.
But the reason they're doing this is because I think if they hold a few shows back a week, a bunch of things will end on the same night. So it's not really Titan they're wanting to promote, more so them preparing for huge switcharoo coming up soon. The faster Titan gets off the block, the better. |

Dude, it's more or less guaranteed at this point that there will be more animated AoT, but the committee is waiting until they can get enough distance to do a second season and not lapse the manga. As for TTGL, Bandai made the best move by putting it on the Ani-Monday block on SciFi instead of Adult Swim. Their action block was suffering their worst years during that time. |

And maybe we would have gotten that too if FUNimation hadn't indefinitely delayed the release of 3.33. I love those rare movie nights on Toonami, it's something brief and exhilarating that I can actually get into late on a Saturday night. Like when they had that month of movies last December. I'd totally watch Gurren Lagann if it wasn't airing so late. I can watch it any time I want, but it's still nice to be a part of the ratings I guess. I've already seen the first 13 episodes of Attack on Titan at least three times in a row, so I think I'm good. At least this marathon will bump up Spasoo Dandeewa's new episode to the beginning of the block. Meaning that maybe for once I won't be on the verge of sleep when it airs! And from the short preview this next episode looks like it could be really interesting. There were a lot of interesting never before seen characters in it. Then again, every episode of Dandy is like that. |

I wouldnt be so sure about that. for one thing it might get the bleach timeslot when that series ends. also the other thing that considering that viewership wise AOT is very solid , once a second season comes around, it getting the 11:30 timeslot is almost a giveme.
That i know. however its as a said some of those series like deadman wonderland was doing the same thing cause it caught up with the manga too soon. now all of a sudden , all plans of a second season have ceased even though the manga is up and running again. its as a wise person said, no future is written in stone so the chances of a second season is not set in stone. there could be multiple circumstances like what happened with that series that could prevent a second season. hopefully it wont be the case and there will be one. and if so it definitely should get the space dandy treatment. |
