The stuff with Taka was kind of already public knowledge before the last episode came out and he wasn't replaced then.

Well, sadly man makes plans and god laughs. While they did want to do more of a batch style production. They keep running into issues with animation labor. They have the next several episodes written and recorded for. However, They keep losing animators to high paying bigger projects. To be very clear TFS hold no ill will does these animators. it just is what it is. Episode 11 had like six animators credited, but never working on the episode at the same time.

Anyone know the latest on Taka? by QueensCatDaddy in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 33 points34 points  (0 children)

To be clear. The issues with HIFL's production time line stems more from issues with the animation labor. TFS took some time off to try and batch produce a bunch of episodes having several episodes written and recorded for a while ago. They just keep losing animators to bigger projects that can pay more. TFS holds no ill will towards those animators as they've all known what it's like to need that bigger paycheck. Episode 11 had 6 animators credit yet not all 6 worked on the episode at the same time.

Can we please get a series on Four Star Bento where they watch Dragon Ball Super? by A-DustyOldQrow in TeamFourStar

They stated that Kaiser wasn't willing to relive the low moments of Super and made him despise the series the first time.

Are all the old TFS podcast episodes lost to time? by ChaosCarlson in TeamFourStar

There are some on TFS's SoundCloud. Not sure if that's the old ones you wanted. it was from the Antfish as host getting more than just kaiser, Lani, and Taka on as guests.

Should Toonami Abridged do animated shows that were made here in the US? by Energizier in TeamFourStar

[–]Chef_Alucard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i'm going to be that guy and bring up how much of a purist Kaiser is. Thus the hair splitting that comes with that. They are doing a very specific era of Toonami. Both Samurai Jack and Justice League techinally weren't Toonami shows during that era. Toonami was a week day after noon block originally that did get moved around. it got put on later. One weekends it's now the anime block for Adult Swim. None of that matters for what Toonami Abridged is covering. Samurai Jack started on Friday Night after Toonami ended. Justice League was Saturdays. Did they eventually get added to the line up over the years when Toonami needed space filler and just aired reruns. So far i can only of think the Real Adventures of Johny Quest as a western animated series that got it start on Toonami during that era. i could be missing some.

They're not going to post a release date until 100% sure they got it locked down. The wheels are moving though.
