What happens is they request the shows, then watch them elsewhere. JoJo did gangbusters…on streaming. Netflix wouldn’t have gotten Stone Ocean otherwise (and presumably are making Steel Ball Run as well). ONLY Toonami is no longer a thing.

Considering how successful Witch from Mercury has been for Crunchyroll without a dub, I’d say you’re quite wrong on that one. Toonami’s failures should not be considered the failures of the general audience.

Don’t suppose he can cancel that completely unnecessary GXP sequel and restart Tenchi from scratch. Their stakeholder partners at Toei would welcome it.

Advertising boils down to two things usually - 1. We have products. 2. We have the means to get those products to people. Toonami right now is losing both of those. They don’t have the products, and the ones they do have are beaten by streamers. I don’t know what happened exactly. I think somewhere between 2014-today we felt the momentum shift against cable blocks particularly as Toonami was no longer the only game in town, the reason they were as long lasting as they were. Then it was one disaster after another. Originals that weren’t very good. Family Guy going bye bye. Sony buying FUNi and eliminating their big source of new shows. Originals getting written off for taxes. And so on. Fat Nami feels almost like a gross parody of how far the block has fallen. It reminds me of this -

It’s apparently a copypasta, so it is a joke. Still…yeah.

It’s also licensed by Sony, who isn’t playing with Toonami anymore.

The Mooninite bomb scare resulted in a lot of disgraced resignations and indirectly, CN Real. Not the best example of the good old days.

The artist’s fat fetish was plastered over national television. Even with Toonami’s vastly decreased ratings that is more attention than anyone would want, especially with the attention being “dude draws morbidly obese women.”

I bet half of his responses are “What about X?”

Season 2 is happening, and the manga gets more insane from here, so good.

Witch from Mercury 12.

It is what it is.

We have clearly gone too far down the rabbit hole and it’s time to come up for some fresh air.

And this is just the start of the year. I fully expect to hear in a few months something like “Uzumaki canceled by Zaslav after latest delay.”

I think the best thing for all parties involved is for DeMarco to take the L (won’t be the last one he takes this year, that’s for sure) and move on.

...True.

They're not going to do that and piss off more people.

DeMarco remains stunningly out of touch, and this is a pretty ill omen for 2023. Hey, if Netflix One Piece is a hit (PRESS X TO DOUBT) they may not even have One Piece by the time the year is over.

Good to see Toonami is starting off 2023 the same way it did 2022. Confused and underfunded.

Not sure if troll wanting free fan-art, or someone who doesn’t like Toonami and wants to kill any attempt at viral marketing.

If you just want anime, Crunchyroll is your best value. Everyone else does other stuff instead, or gets the anime later.
