This would seem to imply anything remotely for older audiences will be absorbed into this new structure. It also seems to imply between this and Unicorn that Toonami will be relying much more on in-house production because all the other streamers have anime on lockdown.

I’m sure this will go over well.

Official trailer has dropped.

Unicorns getting crapped on due to not having the content really makes me wonder how far we’ve gone, and also looking in at the decline of action cartoons for the younger set. Most of them, judging by the kids who went to see that Demon Slayer movie earlier in the month, can’t be bothered with stuff that appears sanitized. We are a long way from DBZ freaking parents the fuck out - (Remember at this point DBZ was pretty much one of the highest rated shows in the entirety of cable). Now we see this kids show, and Genndy clearly wants to target families, and I’m wondering how it will play when it’s not airing in a family timeslot. Still, it is definitely a case of not having a choice. Crunchyroll is not sharing (and they’re currently sitting at 5 million paid subscribers with distribution deals to Hulu) and Sentai only has so many shows, many of them not fit for DeMarco’s taxing standards. As fun as Akhiba Maid War or Princess Principal would be, they don’t fit DeMarco’s tastes, so they do not air. I feel really bad even implying that I’m crapping on Genndy. I’m not. I’m sure the show will be great. But I don’t expect it to do great on Toonami.

I think people arguing over the show at least need to concur that they really don’t have a friggin choice. This isn’t DeMarco curating a perfectly tuned schedule to his exacting highbrow taste, this is the schedulers trying to find something to air that isn’t another rerun. Now thankfully, Genndy is generally considered a mark of quality, so this show should be good, but my fear is that it’s going to get the Beware the Batman treatment if there isn’t a lot of blood and/or cursing right away - “This is a kids show!” And yes, I know Beware the Batfleck supporters argued One Piece, MHA and Naruto were also kids shows, but they were kids shows with lots of violence and foul language, (there’s a lot of anecdotes about what actually is attracting kids and the levels of violence in say, Demon Slayer being enjoyed by the children, but that is another topic). So I think Unicorn is going to need to come out the gate with violence or adult language or else it will be dismissed as a kids show.

Remember FTX? Money laundering and bribery.

Well they certainly aren't getting the money from advertisements.

HBO Max exclusive, but we all know Zaslav treats animation the same way corporate landlords treat the poor. Genndy is the one Western creator that can get his stuff on Toonami and not cause a fit, even if he’s not a fan of the block.

August 31st is the rumored release. I always hated when big things were planned at the end of August/early September. You don’t want summer to end and this stuff is a reminder that it is ending.

Let’s see if this leads to knockoffs, or more attacks.

I'm expecting some sort of ad for something...only to be replaced with an airing of Royal Crackers.

Yeah, because with everything else in the MCU crumbling, their main actor being a domestic abuser is just what they needed. As usual, waiting for evidence and hoping no one harasses the Jane Doe, who apparently showed signs of being assaulted, namely bruises and other injuries.

That’s admittedly why I think they’re delaying their actions. I do expect, if the evidence in Georgia leads to an arraignment, for New York to either stand down or downgrade the charge.

It’s easy to explain. “Our witness was not credible, and we were also dealing with an unprecedented amount of scrutiny in this case, so we didn’t want to move forward unless we knew what was going on.”

The problem with doing a Succession parody is that Succession is already a black comedy/drama satire. It’s redundant.

The fact that they keep delaying the decision coupled with all that stuff with the judge probably means everyone’s looking to see what case they can get Trump with and how quickly they can be presented. It’s a tightrope.

Looks like the strategy is lots of mid budget films with notable talent.

…So is this supposed to be a Succession parody?

If being a jerk was illegal, prisons would be even more crowded. I'll say this much, if Adult Swim and Hulu don't want Roiland back, expect one of the major streamers like Apple TV to acquire his services. Also, Rick and Morty style shows will continue.

Shit is about to get ugly if he wants his jobs back .

These tanks are from the 50s, BTW.

Still want some sort of advertising tie-in with Cobra Kai. That or Ohma as a guest fighter in Tekken 8.
