And the rise of off network solutions. Which is why right now I'm watching Sneaky Pete.

And once again I wish DeMarco would dump it and move on. No one would miss it. Smaller total watching TV = Lower total ratings. The percentages seem the same.

So better but One Piece and Hiatus are still failtacular.

And they've never been forgiven for it. It was one of the many reasons I celebrated the demise of ASA.

Other than Unicorn and JoJo...I'd agree. Eff One Piece.

You have not seen suck until you've seen the ASA block in its dying throes. Kekkaishi, Bleach, and reruns out the ass.

It was Adult Swim going "We're going to give a shit about anime again."

Oh Zeni... You're such a troll. [fuck ASA]

The end of ASA was a joyous day since for a while it was assumed they would replace it with more Family Guy.

Kuromukuro is one of the few anime that seems to be universally liked on this board. It is quite enjoyable though. Seven Deadly Sins is an easy recommendation but be aware the lead can be kinda annoying in that he is a shameless pervert. Dude straight up owns it. But it's OK because they're on Netflix. I would also recommend Knights of Sidonia if you're into hard sci-fi, as well as Ajin.

I get the selection is a rights thing and that is beyond their power. That is annoying but understandable. I'm not sure how the tights to their West Coast steam goes, but you would figure that is within their own power to show. Everything else at this point is industry standard (app features, being available with your PS4 and Xbone as they become the centerpiece of the living room). It makes the fact that they don't offer people the option all the more grating.

Or you know, because they have a much smaller population since a lot of them are dead. Or extremely elderly given their national crisis level low birth rate. But also dead.

Weebs telling me FF 13 was better than Mass Effect is the rough equivalent of saying they have no idea how game design works.

Well, after the latest ratings related panic attack, it's time to once again ask about the digital end of getting Toonami shows. It's been said over and over that On Demand is and continues to be what pushes somewhat niche content forward. Look no further than Netflix investing significantly in its anime offerings, Hulu acquiring streaming rights where available, and Crunchyroll reporting record profits (while laying off staff, because capitalism.). In contrast, AS/Toonami's offerings are woefully underfunded and out of date. Let's count the issues: 1. Limited selection. This could be a matter of rights, but nothing is more frustrating than wanting to start watching a show, only to realize that the show cycles on at Episode 10. Off to Netflix! 2. Lack of support. In an age where every video app wants to be on your console and multimedia device, Adult Swim's app is still limited to Android, iOS, and PC. If you want to watch anime on demand on your TV, you would not be using Adult Swim's app. 3. No saving your spot. Just about every single app saves your spot. Adult Swim? Fuck you, write down the time stamp. In an age where On Demand offerings eat Toonami's lunch, they need to offer robust On Demand options to answer in kind. They do not.

I'm kinda glad Family Guy is wearing out it's welcome since the writers stopped trying years ago.

Especially One Piece. Betcha that didn't crack 300k total. >

Except the Helga premise sounded good, vs that which was awful.

The problem is those people weren't talking about it from an LBGTQ+ perspective so much as crying about chemistry when no one else (save Lance) has done anything romantic to speak of besides a comic relief. It wasn't coming from a place of wanting a gay hero so much as it was expressing rage their baby likes girls.

How badly did Family Guy shit the bed?

And the Tumblrinas are out in full force hella pissed Keith likes girls. "No chemistry! Muh representation!" I love slow burn romances. I get annoyed with people wanting to toss that out for fetish pandering. And then Lotor hitting on Lance so Keith realizes his on-existent feelings(vs him being a creep to Allura)? Hard pass.

So we have a muscle chick Saiyan? You know, some people are into that shit. Damn you internet for making me know that.
