Toonami also wasn't about to create revivals of Devilman and Saint Seiya.

I found Seven Deadly Sins and Kuromukuro the superiors of a lot of Toonami shows. To be fair, Sins isn't as memetastic, except for macro waifu.

Ohh, Pookie. I should feel terrible I can watch stuff at a decent hour! Netflix isn't Fox Kids. They're showing this stuff uncensored. They're showing it on demand. And they're bankrolling stuff now.

No, I agree. Unless fear of being outed IS the story, just say it!

Still, it's one thing to go "BTW they're gay" because that isn't normalizing, it's fetishizing. Look, my list of issues with Voltron has only grown with each season, (when I expect the action from a Brave Series show and I get poor man's Avatar) but that would put the series right in the shit category. Hey, Japan? Can you remake Voltes V already? It'd be better than this. Hell, Dagwon is better than this.

That is a load and you know it.

But it makes no sense in the context of the show for their relationship to be romantic.

It can be read either way but his tone and actions are rather overt. Also Lauren Montgomery said in an interview the KL ship wasn't happening.

"Burninating the countryside, burninating the peasants..."

So, can we agree the best part of Super looks like that Arc System Works fighting game?

This season was short, lacked exciting set pieces, and really makes me hope they kill Shiro next season so the main cast can move on. On the plus side, Sven returning was hilarious and the classic crew is back, which further intensifies my desire to kill Shiro. As for ye olde Blue Paladin, they had no subtext or shame about him being gay, so that just reinforces Keith being socially awkward despite his caring for the princess. (His attempt to comfort her was kinda sweet).

Physical media.

At the rate things are going Sony might buy that shit too. Besides, Crunchyroll only licenses. FUNi distributes.

Anyway, old show is old. But Oda is too busy trying to make One Piece the next Game of Thrones in the US.

The fact that IDW in their quest for ALL THE LICENSES picked this up makes me sad. Let Sonic die...or at least remain a goofy gag comic. Nothing epic about it.

Yeah, that was getting sad and hilarious by R5, with the head patting.

This isn't going to drive up ratings...

The problem is most of those niches are being filled by other avenues rendering Toonami redundant. I also blame Toei.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-08-02/netflix-announces-cg-knights-of-the-zodiac-saint-seiya-remake-anime/.119635 Netflix - Because we can. Except The Get Down. $120 million? Uh uh.

I bet anything it's Toei's fault.

No! Nonononono. No One Piece. That show was an albatross and it would be about ten times worse if it was here.

That's the official name for the FUNi/Crunchyroll service.

Big money forcing out niche competitors.

As much as we rag on Toonami, stuff like Crunchyroll passing 1 million subscribers, Netflix getting tons of hits for their anime, things like that do NOT go unnoticed in boardrooms. As much as we like to think this little hobby is under the radar of most who think of "those Chinese porno cartoons", the truth is people have noticed. They noticed FUNi's distribution networks. They noticed VRV beating Toonami up like DeMarco owes AT&T money. They saw and they invested.
