And with Netflix and Crunchyroll existing as Super King Big Nuts, most of Toonami can be viewed as reruns.

Slim.

Jason is old fashioned, not an egomaniac.

DeMarco shouldn't be too upset. http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/netflix-lures-shonda-rhimes-away-from-abc-studios-report-1202526464/ Netflix wants to take over the world. And how to handle anime isn't a well kept secret anymore with On Demand existing.

Because Toonami sucks ass sometimes. This is why I'm not watching this one. I'm probably gonna just sub the sucker on Crunchyroll eventually.

Well it isn't an exclusive, that's for sure.

Wait, exclusive? Because the sub is on the usual suspects.

I'm more pissed they have the money to redub SEED but not V, Turn A, X, Build Fighters, etc.

So the two the US actually cares about.

SEED was competent. Destiny was a sad, confused show that didn't have any idea who to cheer for.

No, he hit on a lot of women, including the princess constantly though.

That is the point though. You can't change the relationships when the character races change. It's putting a sexuality over all other minorities. And that is a load.

So the girl who has been involved in a romance with the main hero no longer gets to be in a romance because she's black. I want you to think about how utterly messed up that is.

Why the hell would you go into a remake of an old show and expect them to change a classic pairing into a nonsensical yaoi ship? You expected it to just override everything done before? My problem is it has too much Avatar stuff. The fight scenes are all on foot. The conversations are Avatar based. You have a giant robot, use it! Build the pairings from the original show dammit! I don't want these people near classic franchises because everyone thinks they need to be Korra clones.

For all the whining and discourse, the show is meh this season. There's a quote from a Taiwanese viewer on Reddit that sums up the whole thing - ‘I can’t figure out what these Americans are trying to do’ That's telling. I think some fans and new viewers wanted this - And they got...this. That...sucked.

You're still waiting once a week. You're not binging the whole season as soon as it hits.

Yeah, that's the issue with ashcan copies. But Netflix, Crunchyroll, FUNi, they all win on quantity. Here's the steps for your average Toonami pickup. 1. Get rights. 2. Hide it till the last possible moment. 3. Schedule it without making Toei mad. 4. Promote it. 5. Air it. On-Demand? 1. Get rights. 2. Promote it. 3. Put it up for viewing. By virtue of not having to worry about specific time slots, Netflix can air a lot more material than Toonami does, and get it out to people much faster. And this makes DeMarco mad. . DeMarco, and he has admitted this, is a traditionalist when it comes to television. You watch what we schedule, once a week, and you wait. We show nothing beforehand because that builds hype. And if you're not sitting down in front of your TV at the dedicated time, tough. Netflix is the complete antithesis of everything DeMarco likes in traditional network television. Television on the viewers time, television for binge watching and finishing at odd hours, and television where the viewer chooses when to watch. I think that's the source of his anger. It used to be that he was the only guy who knew how to do anime right because Fox were filled with executives that had no respect for the medium. Now it's a new distribution method leaving him in the dust. DeMarco wanted to air Seven Deadly Sins and Cannon Busters his way, once a week, Saturday night. I wonder if the idea of someone watching anime on Netflix on a Sunday afternoon hurts him.

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.
