I wonder why Adult Swim haven't considered bringing back IGPX.
I've always heard of how confusing the ending to Big O was and it still seems to be a series held in good regards in spite of that, so I think that there would have been some genuine excitement for a continuation. I've never seen Cowboy Bebop, but I know the ending and I'm not sure how you'd make a sequel for that. It would have definitely attracted attention, but I don't think it would have been a smart thing to do so soon after the Neftlix series was cancelled. A sequel wouldn't necessarily have the same issues people had with the Netflix series, but I think that the timing would have been too much of an issue, let alone the struggles of creating a sequel to a deeply beloved anime series in the first place.The Big O season 2 was patient zero for controversial Adult Swim/Toonami originals. Fans might actually want to get a season 3 to explain the confusing and bizarre ending of season 2. Considering the decline of mecha in the American fandom, this is probably why this won't happen. I know that a very small number of people thought of the idea of a Cowboy Bebop sequel, but that's too much of a sacred cow to touch. I'm guessing when it comes to co-productions, I noticed that none of the American companies doing them has ever co-produced a Shonen Jump title even though that would seem like the safest and least risky coproduction possible. I'm wondering why? Both Netfix and Toonami have co-produced maligned CGI content despite American fans stating displeasure towards CGI anime and it looks like FLCL: Grunge is continuing on with that despite fan backlash. It's just weird how these original anime co-produced by American companies seem to do as audience alienating stuff as possible instead of just play it safe and just create a safe DBZ esque anime. A lot of these Western co-produced originals have failed, be it Crunchyroll, Toonami, or Netflix, but they continue to chug along anyway. Sometimes, gold is struck and something like Devilman Crybaby is made, but I'm wondering when Toonami will make its equivalent of Devilman Crybaby or Tonikawa. If Netflix and Crunchyroll can occasionally get a lucky dice roll and co-produce a hit original, surely Toonami can eventually do so too.
I mean, I'd be on board with a third season of Space Dandy...Surprised they haven't gone with Trigun Maximum. That's probably the only sequel/reboot idea for an existing Adult Swim/Toonami show people would actually respond well to.
I don't really agree on that nobody likes CGI anime. I mean, while they are largely hit or miss, there have been CGI anime shows that were popular with critics and audiences, such as Pacific Rim: The Black, which I enjoyed when it arrived on Netflix last year.Hey studios and networks and streamers, since the massive amounts of money you lose on this stuff evidently still isn't enough to drill it into your thick heads, let me give you some advice:
NOBODY
LIKES
CGI ANIME
There's also Lupin III: The First, which convinced me CGI anime could work with the right team.I don't really agree on that nobody likes CGI anime.

Any guesses as to what replaces Made in Abyss next month? Or do we know already?
Yeah, I suppose so and the odds are really low for it to be a new acquisition.I thought it was an obvious toss up between Food Wars season 5 and Yashahime season 2. Those are the obvious shows with sequel seasons yet to air on Toonami.

Dang! Whole Cake Island already? Didn't they just have the last batch of episodes a few weeks ago?
They're just steamrolling ahead, aren't they?
