What are these bastards planning tonight
>>
FLCL picture-in-picture during the Fox block.
>>
Wonder Showzen and Million Dollar Extreme videos playing at the same time with flashing messages and images
>>
Who cares.

If they do anything it'll probably be at 11 during their live action garbage.

And that ain't worth watching.

I hope it's Fish Center.

It will be The Room again and you know it
>>
They already did their prank you newfags and it was nothing

Okay did anyone else see the April Fools ad again

Toonami Pre-Flight confirmed nothing was the prank

There was just a commercial that hinted at something after this Bob's Burgers.

It is nothing. They are just stringing us along. I quit watching after an hour last night. They think they are clever by pretending that nothing happening is the joke, when in reality adult swim is so unoriginal now that the old adult swim would have made fun of them 10 times over.

Absolutely pathetic.

>>81354996
He's right.

Adultswim is rapidly dwindling away the goodwill they've painstakingly accrued. They've traded their innovative cutting-edge underdog appeal for a more sleek, market-tested, myopic ratings driven alternative. They've become the opposite of everything that made them such a hit to begin with.

Pretty sure I somehow triggered you, so I apologize for your sensitivity to the word "idiot". I guess that's sadly just the reality of the millenial generation.

But really, they've never done a prank on April 2nd, it's always once the clock hits April 1st. I can't believe some of you are actually still holding out for a proper gag when the joke was that there was no gag.

Adult swim is practically two networks now. One is a very highly rated actual television channel that's hypermarketed to 18-34 year old males. The success of Rick and Morty along with the Fox repeats consistently getting some of the highest ratings on TV every night caused them to function like a traditional network. That's why they're suddnenly pouring money into surefire hits like Samurai Jack and extending Rick and Morty's seasons. Around the same time they started acting like a real channel, they also started the live streams. The streams have no ads, cost literally nothing, and are purely experimental nonsense like FishCenter or Crossword puzzles all day. It's basically adult swim trying to maintain an image but with no stakes. The problem is, the live streams, by virtue of being live, have no animation whatsoever. So adult swim is still experimenting, just sadly not in animation.
>>
>It's fucking nothing. AGAIN.
You fags are gluttons for punishment.
>>
>>81356014
Their best experimentation has to be their "infomercials". Some of those are downright art.

Holy fuck I wish I was a mod so I could ban idiots who believe AS is still going to pull an April Fools gag on fucking April 2nd. I have a hard time believing people are willingly this fucking stupid.

I think it did around that time too anon, everything looks so bland in digital and also the rise of the internet (and smartphones like I'm using) cut down a lot of production budgets.

No joke being the joke is equivalent to those "You mad?" kind of statements. You can't react at all or else the other side gets the victory, so ultimately one just looks like an asshole from the get-go and the other is just annoyed. Nobody wins.
It's just boring. They didn't even make any fake-out bumps save for that one ad.

Adult Swim used to kick some serious ass, when there had been nothing really like it before. Staying up late as an adolescent to watch deviant cartoons in the dark was an indescribable feeling for the time.

Adult Swim is nothing but 5 hours of FOX shows, weird live action shit and some reruns of old shows.

Add onto that the coming of Netflix and reliance on VOD and streaming services and television just went straight to the shitter. Pretty much the only thing on TV now is either just no-effort programming to fill out the slots and programs catered to Baby Boomers and Gen Xers.

This guy gets it, I've been watching since the night adult swim premiered and there used to be this cool mysterious atmosphere around it, watching shows you weren't supposed to at age 9-10 (or teens) and seeing those bizarre bumpers made it such a unique experience.

Family Guy reruns unfortunately killed adult swim.

I still hope that they'll just replace Toonami with the old AS Action block, using that old-ass Microsoft Sam narrator. Even if they don't air the classic anime, it would be nice to see modern anime repackaged with the 2002 bumps. That would be kickass.

I'd been a CN junkie as a kid, and had been watching SGC2C which sort of felt like the opening shot of what would eventually become AS. That first night was incredible though, I distinctly remember laughing into a pillow to keep from waking up anyone else in the house.
Everyone takes it for granted these days, but what adult animation do you remember from before AS came around? The Critic? Duckman? Simpsons? Beavis and Butthead? Sure they were around, but all far tamer than most AS stuff today, and more spread around besides.
