Am I the only one who hates it when [Adult Swims] delays the DUB?
The pacing is pretty poor (from what I recall, they're barely halfway through the arc) and we've been set back 2 times. One for that stupid Rick and Morty prank (Unnecessary and unforgivable truly not the way to introduce someone to their show) and another for that holiday (we got delayed, but nearly everything else still stayed the same. What sense does that make?) We should be two episodes ahead! At this rate (what with [AS] nonsense and Toonami always giving their anime an all-night marathon tossing aside the ones that air new episodes) we may not even reach the Black arc by the year's end and I say that's really off-putting.
Side note: Why can't they just air It on Sunday night? Or just strip off one of Seth's re-played reruns and air it at 5 or 6. All 3 of his shows don't deserve to come on twice a night.

I thought it was incredibly clever and a great way to shut fans up that have been clamoring for a season 3. One of the best season premieres of all time tbh.IntangibleFancy wrote:The pacing is pretty poor (from what I recall, they're barely halfway through the arc) and we've been set back 2 times.

It wouldn't of been that bad had they aired the episodes of Jack and Super that were missed but they didn't. Why should we have to suffer? I for one, do not want to watch a nihilistic old man fumble about with his grating voiced grandson for 3 hours while 2 of my favorite shows are passing by.PeanutSaiyan wrote:I thought it was incredibly clever and a great way to shut fans up that have been clamoring for a season 3.

That's a shame, because it's one of the best written shows out there right now and probably one of the best animated shows of all time. The writing is on par with the first 7 seasons of the Simpsons.

Well can you imagine when it comes to December? They usually take a month off for movies and specials. A week off isn't too bad at least compared to that.

I keep hearing that, and while I've tried to give it a chance (before and after that April Fools joke) I can't really see myself liking it. I am constantly off-put by the loud whiny voice of the deuteragonist(and the fact that his grandfather's life before he was born seems to be better than anything ever seen on my viewing of their adventures) and don't even get me started on that family! Ugh. It feels like every family oriented episode of modern family guy and It's just plain uninteresting (then again, boring human related b-plots on sci-fi shows are my bêtes noire) there are plenty of other things I can list out (like most of it's fandom)PeanutSaiyan wrote:That's a shame, because it's one of the best written shows out there right now and probably one of the best animated shows of all time.

But, this is a rant on AS's incompetence and not Rick and Morty so de gustibus non diputandum

These kinds of things are to be expected. Dragonball Super isn't Adult Swims only show so other shows are going to get some love sometimes or there are just going to be holidays. That's just how T.V works.
Besides Dragonball airs a lot on Toonami already. Super airs Twice and Kai airs on the same night. That's 3 counts of Dragonball. I know one is a rerun but still. One night off everyone once in a while won't hurt. It's happened plenty of times in Japan as well.

This is not 1998-2003 anymore when you had new episodes every day from Monday-Friday in the afternoons. Marathons are used for Toonami to save money since most people don't watch TV on the holidays. You got to deal with waiting for a new dub episode every weekend.

Perhaps I am. But I could of have certainly been way more dramatic about this.Dbzfan94 wrote:I really think you're over reacting.

I think that rick and morty special was pretty tasteless.
Considering Toonami is once a week, and that stuff can also play on the other 6 days in which they have 20 Seth Mcfarlane Re-runs.

Which wouldn't have made your points any more valid. In fact it probably would've did more harm. Super (especially at this point in the dub) is NOT worth getting pissy over.IntangibleFancy wrote:Perhaps I am.

Exactly. We're at the worst point.

Just don't watch every week and it becomes much easier. Simple as that.IntangibleFancy wrote:Exactly. We're at the worst point.

Wait a few weeks and check the episodes out.
I wonder if the blu-ray releases will eventually be ahead of toonami schedule.
