My guess is HBO Max has the lion’s share of the viewership on that one but we won’t know for a bit.

If it aired during Tuca and Bertie than Toonami knows its audience.

Interestingly Toei’s head acknowledged the Netflix adaptation…didn’t go so well but the creator of the manga took him out for a night and helped smooth things over. Funny enough that Netflix show is getting a second season on Crunchyroll, especially with Sony as an international distributor. Hopefully they learned.

You can copyright this name more easily.

Netflix is scrambling to make a replacement for Stranger Things as essentially their Star Wars or Harry Potter. And the three series earmarked for the placement include the LA Last Airbender (which Paramount and the original creators are already trying to derail) The Three Body Problem (a Chinese novel series which is already sus to Americans) and One Piece. If they somehow pull that off, it could put Toonami in a VERY interesting place.

Your video doesn’t work.

Well that’s good news.

The Wachowksis introduced Reeves to anime to prep him for The Matrix.

Another new trailer.

No Wayans, decent effects…ok, I’ll give it a chance.

Komi’s innocent. That’s why seeing her misadventures is surprisingly fun.

We now can add Shatner to the grab bag of voice actors. This is the first production Mark Hamill and William Shatner have done together…which is actually kind of crazy if you think about it.

Micro transactions are evil and this is why.

Well we know now it’s not a Netflix exclusive so there’s definitely a chance.

October simulcast, but they didn’t say who the partner would be. It might be on YouTube directly or a Crunchyroll joint if it’s a simulcast though.

This is a toss up between Netflix and Viz I would say but Crunchyroll has a good shot too. The thing is that Bandai doesn’t license exclusively usually, they try casting a wide net.

Sorry, it was Mike Lazzo, not DeMarco that said that. And with Lazzo gone, they seem to be working on undoing a lot of things he did (like bringing back Metalocalypse after Lazzo personally canceled it).

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/streaming-usage-hits-high-june-2022-1235183971/ As even streaming services take on sports programming (Amazon and Apple both have baseball), this will likely get worse.

Considering they said that the anime will be uncensored, throwing Toonami a chopped to hell version to spur CR subscriptions feels like a very evil bait and switch. Alternatively, Standards and Practices could call this a Fujiko Mine situation and say “It won’t work, don’t bother.”

That’s precisely why they got it IIRC. That and it was a direct pushback against Lazzo saying he didn’t think women were funny.

August 7 will see a new trailer and a release date announcement. Hopefully other stuff too.

You have to remember all these execs are crusty dudes in their 70s and 80s who first came to power during the Carter administration.

She doesn’t succeed. Chuck is still the worst.

The same ones that presumably ask their kids what they like for the Animation Oscars because they can’t be arsed to watch “kiddie shit”.
