Was Jack S5 a Toonami production or an [as] deal that aired on Toonami. I guess it doesn't really matter which, I acknowledge my forgetfulness regarding it, and it did do well. FLCL S2&3 didn't have much hype, at least not near the fan hype that other shows have. It got promoted, heavily, but it didn't really turn into the kind of cult hit that FLCL was. I stand by the no one watch/wanted observation, particularly since it followed DBS when DBS was pulling in huge key share. LivePD works because it is cheap, it has dramatic pull, it has likable characters (Sticks and Tom ftw) and because it actively involves the audience. They show promos of, and actively encourage people to participate by sharing "watch party" photos on social media. Toonami used to be that way when it first rebooted. It was presented as a "we are going to do this awesome thing together" block, and people bought into it. There was a sense of tribal membership, a belonging. Now it is more akin to DeMarco's dictatorship, you will watch and like it even if it isn't what you want, if you question you will be trolled and driven out. That is why the audience is gone, people aren't going to put up with that kind of arrogance for long. The ratings in general show that. It isn't streaming, streaming was widespread in America before the reboot launched and it still did awesome. It isn't Japan putting out weeb trash (well, yeah it is, looking at you raep slug) because there are genuinely good and compelling shows that are in each season (Arslan, Demon hunter, Shield Hero, SAC etc.). It is because Toonami/[as] has lost its connection to its audience. Eh, my two cents I suppose.

Wow, those numbers are bad. Toonami lacks a draw, a compelling reason to tune in. I'd say original programming is ultimately the key, but the only originals they have in the recent past are a pair of sequels no one wanted (or watched). Maybe the Blade Runner anime will pick things up, I think it has a chance to do so with some good appeal to a broader audience. It would have been great if they had the new SAC season, but instead we got FLCL sequels (that no one watched or wanted). There is no connection between the audience and the Toonami team. The audience is just casual and fickle, which leads to these wild ratings swings. If Toonami would work on building an connection to the audience, being active and trying to get the audience to buy in, then the ratings would slowly grow and more importantly retain the growth. Trolling people on Twitter isn't helpful, neither is ignoring them or whining.

I'm wherever and whatever they need me to be. Actually, I've been doing more work outside politics than not lately, working on a project I can't really discuss. For the most part, it is talking to people, planning effective ways to make lasting positive contacts, get more active volunteers (always this) and to a certain extent donors, though I usually try to avoid that. I don't give a damn about the donors being happy. Dollars don't vote.

I know. I'm generally pretty tolerant when it comes to goofing off, it comes with employing millennials. I set goals, I expect them to be met. If you don't meet them, I want to know why. If it is something you can't handle, then I'll find out what you can handle, and you'll do that. About the only thing I will fire you outright for is breaking the NDA. You don't break the fucking NDA.

In slug's case there is plenty of reason to fire, the goofing off here, giving advice when not licensed, all the petty and stupid drama that gets reported et al.. In the abstract, most places just fire with no reason given, it is the easiest way to protect yourself. Then again, most employers won't fire unless they have to, it just looks bad and lowers morale.

They do if they don't want to get sued.

Congratulations, your employer has an excuse to fire you in 6 months.

Lupin will be banished to 3 am, Gundam will go to 12:30, and Toonami will be cancelled two weeks later with no announcement, replaced with R&M, ATHF and Squidbillies.... 🥠

I'm gonna go with yes. Maybe if we call the Sheriff we can enjoy the fun on LivePD....

Literally every Scout: We are going to die, we can't possibly win this, at least someone might remember us, maybe it will be quick.... Levi: Hold my beer.

Oh, so I guess Lupin will be spared the ignominy of banishment? Or is it that they know Gundam will fail so it is being per-emptively banished? Seems like a waste to get a new show just to banish it. Also, FT would dominate in the front of the block. Start it from the beginning, have years to air it until new DB is made.

PC versus mobile? Browser type possibly? Anyway it was rage frog and wizard

Isn't pretending to be a broker a felony?

Cool Thanks 👍

I heard a funny story about white-out that resulted in a lawsuit. Can't say any more about it though.

There's no such thing as an "office snitch" at a dollar store....

Good to hear.
