I think the issue Andy mostly had was that they perhaps led him to believe this was an ongoing thing or maybe he just assumed it would. But no one is guaranteed anything. Now if someone’s contract isn’t being honored or royalties aren’t being paid- that’s a whole other issue I saw a tweet from him asking if anyone would hire him for work on any of the announced CN projects. There could be sometime there if he keeps at it. I just haven’t seen much from him before he started chronicling his Amazon misfortunes so I don’t know if it’s only recently he’s started looking or it’s been years of persists

It’s not for lack of trying. He’s had some minor roles and might have a few future gigs lined up, but not enough to make a living off of. But that’s the case for a lot of VA’s. I remember Erica Mendez tweeting that she finally could quit her day job once she got the role of Gon because it was steady sessions for a long running show. You don’t get rich. But he’s actively looking for other gigs

This is my break from reality. My other online world is politics and it’s that’s some really doomerism shit

If they stopped focusing on “what’s popular” and just looked for some decent shows that aren’t over exposed, they’d have a decent block. They aren’t getting popular shows when it matters. Who cares if they finally air JJK and Chainsaw Man in 2026 Im also tired of whenever they do a dig through a company’s catalog, the only thing they ever pull out are shows they already aired.

True. But when there is something worthwhile to watch, people do.

Honestly they do these things out of tradition. It probably doesn’t matter as much as they used to. But they are stuck in the past playing by old TV rules and that’s why streamers snuck up and took everything from them

Waiting for January to air Daima if the streamers (who won’t pause for holidays) start the dub is a bad move unless TOEI makes the decision to do that with everyone. The show literally being on every service is going to give people numerous options to watch it and a Toonami airing that is 5-6 episodes behind because they are worried someone won’t watch at grandmas house is such outdated thinking. Especially in a year where Christmas is on a Wednesday. I wouldn’t say this if it was only Crunchyroll,

Not sure if Jason could shed light on the subject. It’s probably going to come down to how the season 1 rerun does rather than Aniplex’s cooperation

Every time they get a catalog title from a distributor, they limit themselves to what they’ve already aired. It’s a waste of money

You can stream Blue Exorcist. They don’t need to waste money on reruns.

It’s not unheard of. I was at a subtitled screening of Castile of Cagliostro years ago and it ended with a promo to watch Lupin part 4 on Toonami. There is the possibility that they may still wait to release the dub to give it a little space between the theater run. It’s unfortunate if Toonami is forced to sit on the news and not have time for promotion. But little things they do with the schedule may telegraph things once we see what November looks like

I have a feeling said event will still be going on the following Saturday. But I sure hope it is

That’s why I think there’s been no mention of the dub streaming anywhere either. Makes total sense. That’s why I’m not too confident it’ll air that Saturday. Maybe the following week. Again, though, I really hope they don’t get worried about airing the he show close to the holidays and let streamers get the jump on them. Waiting until January and being weeks behind everyone else will be far worse for them.

Question is: will TOEI even let Toonami tell people they are airing it until after the theater premiere? They might have a fear people will not go if they know it’ll be airing

It actually benefited Superman because I think they had mentally wrote if off when deciding to give it to Toonami

I’m starting to think projects they don’t expect to renew will get the Toonami premiere but ones that have potential go to Thursday

Which to me is just dumb. They do this on purpose to “keep suspense” so they can announce it on a platform no one uses anymore

What I’m mostly concerned with is them putting off airing any episode of the show because of a holiday and letting streamers (who don’t care about that at all) get ahead of them. Especially this year where Toonami is on 12/21 and 12/28. Just run the show. Even if there’s something in the contract that ties the streamers to Toonami airing it first. Playing by old TV rules is gets Toonami left in the dust. That works well for casual general audience shows, but niche shows or shows with big fanbases- they’ll turn out. In 2011, BBC America finally secured day of airing of Doctor Who and decided to skip Memorial Day weekend right and the fans just pirated the rest of the season

My thinking is that the Daima dub “movie” will ONLY be in theaters for now for paying customers and if successful, the run will be extended through Thanksgiving. They may not let anyone even think of running it until they milk every dollar first. I’m surprised they aren’t trying to sell DVDs first In that case, a January premiere of the rest makes more sense, but if they have the option to start it and delay because of holidays- that’s dumb because streamers don’t have that self imposed old school mentality As for 11/2, if they revealed that now and showed a MHA blowout, that might reveal they got season 7. Oh no what a catastrophe that would be to actually inform people of something more than 2 weeks ahead of time

If they purposely put off airing Daima because it’s too close to the end of the year or a holiday while letting streamers jump ahead of them- it shows everything that’s wrong with them and why they deserve for it to backfire on them

Actually I think that’s when it gets caught up. Either way, it’s time

If Kai is also preempted on 11/2, then it’ll be one episode behind Rewind. Time for it to go

I’d imagine their reasons for doing this with Uzamaki is because of the personal connection to the Japanese cast and crew and the ordeal it took to get this made But who knows what they’ll do now

If it did, then they did Toonami no favors with this setup
