So Academia was off the table? Because you know that’s the only reason why they got this.

FLCL 2: Electric Boogaloo is the most unnecessary sequel since Son of the Mask.

... Way to go Kubo! My respect for you has gone WAY up!

Well it’s that time of the year, to invite family you don’t see that often, binge eat on a bird usually reserved for low calorie sandwiches, and then collapse from a tryptophan induced coma while football is on. With all that said, does anyone here have any special or unique things they serve for the occasion? Side dishes, desserts, maybe replacing the turkey? Let’s hear it.

New forum, same crappy Toonami ratings. Dragonball especially. When FighterZ looks set to sell several million copies and Super’s ratings continue to struggle, we need to look at Toonami as a delivery mechanism, not the shows.

Those could be internal rules, like how it was a specific rule for years they couldn’t advertise beer (Lazzo said as much in an interview alcohol was off limits).

The industry is changing. Toonami doesn’t have the money to advertise when they air at Saturday night. Most folks think Dragonball Super, then go out.

The best harem show as of late has been Star vs the Forces of Evil.

Medaka? That wouldn’t work. At all. And why finish the original? It’s a remake. That’s like forcing yourself to watch Galactica 1980 before the Battlestar Galactica remake.

As a general rule, shorter shows less likely to be seen elsewhere are the order of the day. So something like Yamato 2199 is better off at Netflix. That and I want to rub the noses of Voltron fans in Yamato 2199. “THIS IS A GOOD SPACE OPERA! THIS IS AN EPIC SCORE! THIS IS A FANDOM THAT ISN’T OBSESSED WITH GAY PAIRINGS BECAUSE OF KORRA AND STEVEN UNIVERSE! Choke on it!”

Maybe because it's more interesting to see people actually use all their tools than a one-sided squash match?

The St. Pierre fight wrecked Toonami.

Watch as Netflix announces Black Clover as its next original.

Season 4 debuted last month and well...I wish the money had gone towards a Demonbane remake instead.

Gundam Unicorn 12. At least I was. Back to work.

The Hollywood Reporter puts things in context: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-netflix-is-disrupting-empowering-japans-anime-industry-1050297 And I still say a lot of Toonami shows would score big on Netflix and Hulu. The problem in many cases isn’t the show (except in the case of Hiatus, it’s the show) but rather the distribution method.

Link? I mentioned blazing through Unicorn on YouTube while having ignored the Toonami run. (Thanks GundamInfo!)

I think it’s the accessibility.

Gundam Unicorn 11. Why couldn’t I be arsed to see this on Toonami but I’m blazing through it now?

Of all the old shows that possess charisma, Yu-GI-Oh is the one exception. The show is literally the worst kind of advertisement to the point I’m not sure how it aired back in the day given numerous FCC laws that prevent direct advertising to children.

Bravestarr?

I do think Toonami gets less credit for making the stuff cool again but at the same time it arrived as companies with immense financial resources began to do what no one really had done. Market it with other things in a way that was respectful. The days of 4Kids edits and ultra niche cable on demand services are over. Now these companies outbid Toonami and show it on demand in a way that’s easy to access.

There’s definitely an uptick with social media after it returned. At the same time, now you have Cracked articles about Froppy when she’s a supporting character in anshow only available online.

Toonami possibly convinced Netflix this was a niche market worth tapping into at a greater level, but so could Crunchyroll having comparable subscription figures to the WWE Network.

I saw the casting choices. It looks like a dumpster fire.
