Jason Demarco Q&A Twitter Recap
CountFrylock replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
-those three shows he lamented toonami never got to air were escaflowne slayers and magic knight rayearth -Fox Kids indeed did pick up Escaflowne simply to prevent Toonami from airing it. (Although, I did hear that they tried to get Magic Knight Rayearth less because of their interest, and more because it was offered to them through Ocean and TMS back in '95, and they passed on it due to DBZ and Sailor Moon not doing so well in syndication, but Toonami being successful and Fox Kids' own success with Digimon caused them to reconsider) -So apparently Yu Yu Hakusho was bound for Toonami before the decision to air it on AS, but was later moved to Toonami anyway due to higher ratings with the K6-11 and T9-14 demographics than AS's 18-35. -Do not count on anything Criterion Collection related ever airing on Toonami, and no it's not budget reasons. -He worked on "The Mouse in The Mask" album by Danger Doom -Outside Toonami shows, Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule is his favorite Adult Swim show. (I don't know if he worked on it between Toonamis, like he said about Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, so it could be one of his "babies", per se) -Even in the CN area, there was no way they could air the Daft Punk music videos for Random Access Memories. Their budget was bigger, but just not big enough for where they were in their career at the time. -Either he's backpedaling or the real reason CN didn't let them air Evangelion was because they didn't think it would do well enough in ratings and GRW was his chance to prove it could, and that failed just like Nadesico. (I could have sworn that before he said it was just too much to edit for CN's standards so they used GRW as an excuse to be able to air it at all.) -Whoever predicted this was correct: The network used 9/11 as a convenient excuse to stop airing Mobile Suit Gundam prematurely, because neither CN nor Toonami wanted to air it and Bandai essentially forced them to, and it got low ratings (possibly on purpose). (It wasn't discussed, but I'm willing to believe Bandai had a huge foothold on CN and Toonami - .hack//SIGN was apparently going to continue airing reruns into the City Era before it was replaced with Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. There's even a "Now/Then" City Era bumper face with it used on Legend's premiere date. It also explains why DICE and Gundam SEED's burnoffs immediately happened while Yu Yu Hakusho's was delayed.) -None of the other Toonami original shows will use CGI/3D, besides FLCL: Grunge -The whole idea of Toonami came from Sean Akins. DeMarco himself came up with the name though. -Jason DeMarco is "full time developing and producing now" since Discovery stepped in. -

Jason Demarco Q&A Twitter Recap
CountFrylock replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
here's some more -despite lamenting that isekai trio never airing on toonami demarco thinks there's too much isekai -he enjoys trigun stampede as a stand alone series but prefers the originals -the whole cast of igpx signed a still frame that he still has and holds dearly -there is some hope for more dc content on the block -black lagoon is one show that cartoon network forbid them from airing but thankfully they could once returning at adultswim -of all the modern/current anime out there jujutsu kaisen is the one he wants on toonami -at the moment the budget is too small for another Total Immersion Event -the designers of the absolution will remain a mystery as they requested to be anonymous -they always choose and pick what video games to review based on what they are currently playing(dennis malooney writes the reviews) -he's shocked and surprised at oshi no ko being so successful but gave no honest opinions on it himself -he likes moribito -he enjoyed the 1995 ghost in the shell movie more than stand alone complex -he never wanted moltar to meet tom -

They Probably Thought HBOMax was something speciall when these episodes were made....instead it's getting relaunched with the most generic name ever it's not like adultswim has anything else going for it now -
i think most people are tired of primal at this point.... feels like there's not much of a reason to stay up for toonami now.....

The Counter-Point is "Well Kids don't watch cable anyways" but there's a reason they air the tamest stuff in the early time-slots instead of something like robot chicken it's so parents don't complain that little billy was caught watching this and while they do have some content that can avoid that problem it's not enough....most of adultswim's output isn't for children I Don't even know how this is a win for adultswim when it's just going to be used for more king of the hill -

Royal Crackers Discussion Topic
CountFrylock replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
noticed they no longer mention the episodes will stream next day(Probably because they are rebranding as max)so they just removed that bit from the episode promo's now -
is anything At CN/AS Being warmly Embraced by WBD Right now?...doesn't seem like it feels like Everything's On Fire while David Z Drinks a cup of coffee in the middle of the room while saying "Everything's Fine" If Adultswim had anything else going on i doubt they'd act like royal crackers is amazing and hype it up like it's another rick and morty success story

Need i remind you that Symbionic Titan(A Kids show)aired on adultswim's toonami in the early years?.....besides that it's weird you keep trying to imply toonami fans frown upon shows that aren't adult and gory enough.....since we've long moved past the days of Deadman wonderland And Akame Ga Kill on the block with not many people online missing those days

adultswim starts earlier on May 1st
CountFrylock replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Surprised they didn't update the time change on there yet nowhere did i imply My Area's the center of the universe...simply put no matter how you slice it The New Start Time(For All Time-Zones)is too damn early 7:00 6:00 5:00 whatever it is...all time zones have it too early i know children don't watch cartoon network and most viewers on the channel are adults but pushing adultswim to start earlier and earlier is just gonna make things..weird especially since they don't have a lot of content they can get away with airing in those time slots aside from KOTH And Maybe futurama -

I Suppose it's better than the time-zone where it's now starting at 5:00 PM though(can we really call it adultswim at that point?) -
for me it goes from starting at 7:00 Pm to starting at 6:00 Pm and two hours of king of the hill i don't know about anyone else here but 6:00 pm seems way too early for adultswim

hell's paradise was a manga and people in the anime/manga community certainly knew what it was(not like that series was a sales failure or anything close to that) also do i have to say this again? "none of this means it would be successful on toonami" i don't know why you keep thinking "Put Any Trendy Anime On Toonami and the average joe will be hyped"
-
okay here's something you have to understand....none of that means it would be successful on toonami why? because you keep forgetting Nielsen Ratings gauge a small portion of the overall viewing audience and a lot of them are probably casual viewers who don't soak up anime news like you or me they aren't gonna be all "OMG! Hell's Paradise Is On Toonami?!" because they won't even know wtf Hell's paradise even is
