Also this. That was a block ready to have the plug pulled.

I’ll sit here and hope Stardust Crusaders hits Netflix next month. They have a bonafide hit and I would hate stupid Toonami contracts to stall the momentum.

It’s easy enough to blame the fact that Hulu and the other streaming services are far ahead of Toonami’s episode count, but I still have no explanation for how Season 1 of JoJo on Netflix is apparently trending higher than a lot of their live action originals. On Demand continues to encroach on Toonami’s shit.

Yeah except Outlaw Star might actually be successful.

Please. Wulin Warriors. I still remember...the puppets. And Outlaw Star? Seriously? I still keep worrying Hulu or Amazon Prime is going to make a live action version.

Fits with DeMarco’s stated “boutique” philosophy as opposed to Gridman or Goblin Slayer.

Good luck with all the sublicensens. It’s pretty much a Gordian’s knot of property rights to untangle. Who even has the US rights to Magic Knight Rayearth? Last I checked it’s still up dubbed on the Media Blasters YT channel, and I thought that they ceased operations.

Just for fun, video of the attack animations. Naturally the theme music used is “Tank!” in game.

Shield Hero is pretty popular last I checked. I could see them airing it because of that.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-03-24/megazone-23-reboot-project-only-remakes-part-i-and-ii/.144973 Sell it to Netflix. They’ll buy it. They’ll buy damn near anything.

1. Being reminded of Outlaw Star just makes me think someone is ready to sell a script for a live action series to Hulu or Amazon. Don’t let Titans Starfire play Aisha is all I’m saying. 2. DeMarco seems to be fairly comfortable with the block now even if it sort of a broadcast arm of Crunchyroll. They seem to have a lot of plans for the future, even while acknowledging Netflix making...everything.

Magic Knight Rayearth 7-8. I’m telling you, Netflix is probably getting their usual suitcase of money to give to CLAMP for a remake.

It drops 6/21/2019. No samples of the new dub as of yet. I still say if they got $100 million for Friends, they should at least loan the cast out for the dub. Not like Ross is doing a lot these days...

FUNi has Gridman but your point stands.

So, new show... Wonder if they’re gonna start flexing that new corporate relationship and air Shield Hero.

They’re making you sign up? Bastards...

OPM2 is Hulu exclusive for now.

Rewatching Jojo Part II on Netflix. I feel like more people have watched Jojo on Netflix the last month than during the entire Toonami run.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Oum You’re correct. And edited.

A 3D show from a low budget start up that got an immense amount of loyalty, fans, and improvements in the budget. Unfortunately, the original creator died a few years ago. He never got to see his characters present in a BlazBlue game.

...ANYWAY, Toonami news asked people what shows they would want on Toonami on Crunchyroll as part of this new collaboration - WAY too many people suggested RWBY and gen:Lock.

They run HDive, right? They made a deal with VRV once FUNi left, because someone had to fill that hole. Speaking of, I wonder how DeMarco is going to be allowed to run the block, or if he butts heads with CR executives over Shield Hero. I imagine DeMarco is in full ragefit mode between that and live action One Piece.

Well that and Netflix greenlighting...everything. Seriously, a Spriggan anime the same week as a Dragon’s Dogma adaptation? And coupled with the news Netflix greenlit the live action One Piece (the one Tomorrow Studios is making with the GOT level budget) it makes perfect sense that Toonami/Adult Swim needs allies in what has, since 2012 and the Toonami revival, become an incredibly competitive field with streaming services throwing tons of money at animation studios and dubbing companies alike. Having the same corporate parent following the big merger just makes their choice of ally obvious. Part of me wonders if that’s why DeMarco hates on streaming services so much. He had to build Toonami back up from the charred rocks of ASA with leftover lunch money from catering, only for Netflix and Hulu to throw millions directly at studios and get every little weeb fantasy project made (except Cannon God Exaxxion).

Piracy. Hulu exclusive means people will pirate.
