There’s not much that can be done if someone saying “the block is safe” somehow still worries you. As it stands, the biggest issue is gone.

Zaslav doesn’t. He flat out told Clint Eastwood to go to hell saying they didn’t owe him anything to release his next film.

GameRant.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2022-08-29/gamerant-warner-bros-discovery-has-no-plans-to-cut-toonami/.189089 Surprising given Zaslav cutting shows and projects is the closest this company will get to having Chainsaw Man.

On a related note, if Netflix made more Ippo, it would make me happy and make a disturbing amount of sense.

Netflix, Apple TV, and Hulu all want that Batman. DeMarco is probably livid.

New trailer.

Zaslav's being the oldest of old school executives has me wondering why the hell Rooster Teeth hasn't been sold yet. I can't see RWBY being worth that much at this point.

If Warner wrote off Uzumaki Crunchyroll would take it as an exclusive and there would be even less of the current 0% chance of Crunchyroll ever working with them. But given Zaslav's slash and burn policies in the name of "middle America", I could easily see him viewing these weird Chinese cartoons as an unnecessary expense.

Yashahime has apparently gotten better this cour, but if you want the dynamic that InuYasha was famous for, you’re probably better off watching Bastard! And if you’re just hankering for some more Rumiko, well, the Urusei Yatsura remake is due in October, meaning anime’s original waifu is back.

Zaslav to HBO Max subscribers -

Horizon’s been hinted at ever since Sony made their division to adapt games to film and television (so far they just have that Uncharted movie) but Bioshock has apparently been floating around Hollywood for years. Netflix rescuing half dead scripts like that is what they used to do, and honestly, what I would rather than do before they inevitably make a live action Ururesi Yatsura.

So in light of Warner literally not having enough money to properly advertise their films, this came up - Probably explains why all that animation was gutted.

HIDIVE is admittedly a bit less bad news for Toonami, given that it also hosts all the Lupin series’s. We may see it down the line.

Dragonball Super: Super Hero. Fun movie on a weekday night. Attack on Titan 84-87. Well, that’s in the books.

There are some vague rumors Cartoon Network itself might be shut down when all is said and done, but that’s probably a bridge too far. That being said, Warner is running out of money.

Destroying the footage would mean destroying the evidence of labor they want that precious tax write off for. Unwise.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/batgirl-canceled-hbo-max-film-gets-secret-screenings-1235205323/ The footage still exists, the directors were just blocked from having it. Hence these “funeral screenings.”

Maybe. Honestly I could see Netflix getting it. I still want to know who greenlit a Family Matters anything in 2022. Family Matters. Urkel. This - This thing was a stereotype when it was on roughly 30 years ago.

Their big lead show is airing both on a popular (for the moment) streamer and as a first run production on linear television. A lot of the juice is squeezed out at that point. Newer programs in the fall should alleviate that.

Battinson is back presumably because it’s not animated.

Watch as Zaslav fires Genndy anyway.

Zaslav's cuts extend to other projects - Why the hell Warner was making a damn Family Matters Christmas special in 2022 is another matter altogether, but it's dead now.

So much for the idea of it airing on Toonami. Watch as the Superman cartoon meets a similar fate.

Had the show kept going, we would have seen more guns. And that would have been amazing. Two more random trivia notes while I’m at it - 1. Adrienne Barbeau was one of the voices in this! She plays Beryl and Queen Serenity, which is just…really? I know she was going into voice work around this time, but ouch. 2. It’s the same set as Saved by the Bell: The College Years. The Power Rangers were often joked of as being Saved by the Bell with kung fu, so this brings it full circle as a ripoff of Rangers (this attempt, not the original which was a female centric take on the Sentai formula, but not a ripoff of such).
