  1. Well at least if you have VRV they’ll still be there through HDIVE. They want you to upgrade.
  2. I would say the issue in that case is that DeMarco knew the fan reaction was predominantly negative and accounted for it, more so than he personally hated it. Even if he did, I doubt he would admit it publicly.
  3. That was almost a decade ago. Saying the market has changed is putting it mildly to say the least.
  4. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/splinter-cell-animated-series-netflix-1234612535/ Well it’s better than letting Dreamworks do it I guess.
  5. Nothing they’re willing to share, remember.
  6. They’re not the only ones feeling the crunch. Even when production worldwide resumes to normal, expect a few months of utterly anemic programming releases.
  7. There’s always going to be pirates. The way legal services compete is with ease of viewership and the promise they won’t give your computer 100 kinds of malware. And in CR’s case, originals, although some are doing well, some became punchlines as soon as they got announced, and some were hopefully quietly cancelled (Warren Ellis’ FreakAngels belongs in a garbage bin).
  8. The website is doing its absolute damndest to earn its keep amidst rumors of being sold, and having a million more subscribers than the WWE network (1.96 million) is a good start.
  9. Oh Florida...half your population is dropping dead and that’s your battleground. Dude must have time traveled from 1999...
  10. Mob Psycho II will never be on Toonami? Ever? Oof. Also, his worst take? FLCL sequels.
  11. Rick and Morty was second only to the finale of the UFC Fight Island series. Rick and Morty = Ratings.
  12. BEBOPAIRZLOL. I do genuinely think DeMarco wants to hold on Bebop reruns until the Netflix show debuts next year, but circumstances, namely their anemic programming, will force their hand.
  13. They use Attack on Titan ending as their base, but this is an eternal struggle. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-07-28/-attack-on-titan-publisher-kodansha-searches-for-next-manga-hit?cmpid=socialflow-twitter-businessweek&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_content=businessweek&utm_source=twitter
  14. Ok, so that’s our set schedule, but it’s predominantly a summer of reruns. Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose.
  15. Quick! Someone make a ninja movie that bombs at the box office before they finish casting Naruto!
  16. I’m just the messenger here. That and Western action cartoons have had a very rough go of it the past few years. The Avatar clones are all merchandising duds, superheroes are sold through their big films, and everything else is either from Japan or designed specifically to mimic Japanese work.
  17. According to the guy heading the Kickstarter for the pilot, a certain furry musical of nightmares has killed anything with anthropomorphic creatures for the foreseeable future.
  18. I’ll be honest, if the pilot turns out as good as the footage is hinting at, and I was a Netflix executive asked to choose between Bean Bandit, Swat Kats, and Hazbin Hotel, I would choose Bean Bandit.
  19. More confused than anything to be honest. Because judging it from Toonami’s broadcasts and the like, it shouldn’t have done well.
  20. Well that’s a positive. Shame they’re still stuck with Ballmasterz.
  21. Toonami, for years and years (and Adult Swim Action by extension) ran on one guiding principle. “We are the only game in town.” And when that was no longer the case, the problems began in force. These are unprecedented circumstances. But Toonami is responding with actions that the viewers no longer accept.
  22. That is a very good question, but it is specifically highlighted by the problem that DeMarco ain’t got no damn money. It’s telling everything announced tonight is a Crunchyroll co-production of sorts. If something happens to Toonami, Crunchyroll can pick up the ball fairly easily.
  23. It didn’t get an Emmy, the production company just submitted it for one. The hope is the Emmy people look at it and laugh, before tearing up the submission forms.
  24. Yes, the director is a fan of the show. Everyone loves them some Rick and Morty.
