Maybe the problem is airing the one show everyone wants to see at 8. No carry over. All the stuff does great...when it migrates to Netflix after all.

So all non Dragonball stuff bombed...again. Meanwhile Netflix has announced their plan for 30 new anime projects for 2018. I can hear DeMarco throwing stuff at the wall.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/daily-briefs/2017-10-17/netflix-to-produce-30-new-anime-series-for-2018-release/.122823 Toonami meanwhile seems to be picking up at most, 6 or 7.

This is qualified as someone who watches the entire run within 24 hours of starting. https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/life/tv/2017/10/17/countdown-netflixs-top-20-binge-raced-shows/106714694/ Jason DeMarco could not be reached for comment before ranting about those damn kids and their on demand services.

I think I mentioned it before but the show integrated itself into pop culture in a way that most shows don’t. In particular it reflects bizarrely heavy in combat sports culture, and FUNi got a shitload of NFL starters to talk about watching it growing up as a bonus feature on their box sets. Try getting that for Kekkaishi.

Gundam Unicorn 5. Now that it’s on YouTube, I care.

You know Netflix is getting more viewers by sheer word of mouth. They're simply a bigger force than Toonami financially. That said they probably don't see Toonami as a direct competitor.

It’s almost like the cable model is frustrating.

I mean, Netflix will pick up anything: http://southpark.cc.com/clips/birfp7/youre-green-lit But considering the level of complaints, is it bad, or really just overblown?

So in the Great Fandom Fail Off: MLP fans - Specifically made porn of horses and didn’t offer any sort of filter for kids. Got so insane an entire episode of Bob’s Burgers was dedicated to making fun of it. Steven Universe fans - Bullied two people into near suicide for the crime of drawing a character thin. Voltron fans - A hardcore fujioshi tried to blackmail Dreamworks with leaked images to make a ship canon before everyone pointed out she was a dumbass. Rick and Morty fans - http://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-sauce-szechuan-car-trade-2017-10

The way DeMarco talks about it, any show they look at the wrong way gets snatched up by Netflix and trends online.

It’s duck sauce with chipotle. I can make that at home. Fuck, I can go to a dim sum place that serves the duck sauce and the smoky sauce next to actual duck, not Chicken McNuggets. What is wrong with these idiots?

I like lamb. It’s a constant from halal places around here, and I cook a rather good leg of lamb. It works really well in lieu of beef. But I notice a lot of people really don’t like it. Too fatty I hear, or just more general complaints. So, after making leg of lamb for dinner, I must ask: what’s your take?

More like Hiatus GETS killed. Because it’s not popular.

Blame Toei, blah blah blah. You know what the sad thing is? Once JoJo is on Netflix its hits will go through the roof. Toonami, your shows aren’t the problem. YOU ARE! You are an outdated relic!

Idiots lost their mind over Chicken McNuggets. So much for that sophisticated, adult fan base.

At that point just cut the sucker in half. It’s like Dave and Buster’s serving that Double Cheeseburger monstrosity for the power card. Cut it in half.

Toonami airs Season 2 of IBO. Netflix gets a full version of The Origin manga and Crossbone Gundam produced.

There’s a big panel tomorrow...for Robot Chicken.

They need to get premieres or else they’re screwed. Funny story, the ONLY AS show with presence at NYCC is Rick and Morty.

The trailer for Batman Ninja. Holy crap this looks amazing.

That’s actually my train of thought about why it would air there: Bullshit teen romance? Check. Really annoying female lead? (Felicity!) Check. Tackling issue in a really awkward way? (Supergirl handling the coming out of a character incredibly clunky when both Arrow and the Flash had prominent non stereotypical gay characters). Check. People acting like dumbasses to serve the plot, rather than the plot being interesting when they act rational? Check.

Netflix has all the known quantities though,

I’m now convinced the President in last weeks Rick and Morty was supposed to be DeMarco, pissed Rick and Morty run the block.

Blame Toei, blame Toei, blame Toei. It’s their fault and everyone knows it.
