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.

I miss them showing The Princess Bride and the Keaton Batman already.

You have to know you were the only one who cared.

Toonami fails yet again. Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier II ate their lunch.

... Really?

It's always creepy interviewing someone after they got their head caved in.

Sony also has a much wider distribution network making its publishing of media cheaper.

It flopped in the US. All I'm saying. Meanwhile it took five of the damn things for people to realize Bayformers was never going to improve.

Monster was so good HBO told them to fuck off about adapting it because it didn't sell for shit. Zeni, you a busta.

I'm not upset. I'm confused. I thought that was made clear.

I thought that was obvious when he refused to stop watching the myriad of shows he hates.

The real question is why you would go to Pizza Hut in the first place. Then again, New York. Finding a pizza here is like finding a delayed subway train. It isn't hard.

Why you such a busta Zeni?

Play nice you two. Zeni's a busta, it shouldn't effect how you discuss stuff.

Yeah, but Arrow and The Flash proved you could do action shows on a TV budget and not look awful. Case in point - Why do you think The Tick revival is live action and looks a billion times better visually than the Patrick Warburton one?

...Zeni, you a busta.

American action cartoons don't exist anymore. Arrow and The Flash killed them.

DeMarco is helping fund live action One Piece for TNT.

We have our first review from the SDCC premiere. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-07-26/did-netflix-make-a-decent-death-note-film/.119342 It's positive.

No one counts these $3 productions. We've had one LA Dragonball movie - Man of Steel. Unfortunately we also had Ghost in the Shell.

Yeah, but it's only the third 2D one that isn't a cheap cash grab.

You know what the sad thing is? Dragonball stuff still does crazy well. That new video game (that looks better than Super, thanks Unreal Engine 4!) is essentially a license to print money. But Toonami can't make that into ratings.

I'm pretty sure I've seen fan films with bigger budgets. But that's Japanese. There's only one Western Dragonball movie - Man of Steel.
