also here's some more toonami related answers from His Q&A - He's confident Sony/Funiroll won't partner with another cable network to compete with Toonami (and well, what network is willing to air anime anyway?) - He blames One Piece's cartoony artstyle for why it didn't catch on in the US the way Naruto (and to a lesser extent, Bleach) did - He hopes for more DC stuff on Toonami soon, but it's out of his hands. - DC Fandome night was supposed to be Batman Day in 2020 the first time. I guess it shifted because of FanDome and now thanks to it being gone Batman Day is a thing? - Housing Complex C will only be one season - All of Toonami's originals for 2023 are announced. '24 and '25, not yet - Scavengers was meant to be a full Toonami original series, but a US-based show is in development - Even if Sony can't license them anything, he still has a good non-work relationship with the people there - They still aren't being paid to work on Toonami. Those Shark Week and Craig of the Creek bits reflect their honest opinion.

this schedule confuses me because while most of us expected something to be doubled up...we didn't expect the made in abyss rerun to be doubled up why are they in a hurry to wrap up that rerun now?

I've mainly been using it for classic nickelodeon content also watched that new owen wilson superhero movie last night

probably doubled up naruto... the better question is what will replace housing complex c? it's only taking up the lead spot for 4 weeks and then it's off

got a month free trial to the service earlier this month to watch the new beavis and butt-head content but i also watched sonic the hedgehog 2 and have been watching classic nickelodeon content on it not sure if I'll keep it but it's far better than peacock....

i still wonder why demarco thinks he can possibly make a deal for chainsaw man...that show likely won't be cheap to acquire

anyone here still watching this?

for anyone who wants an alternative to rightstuf I've been seeing comments about "Takara's cafe" although it's a very small company and it only deals with manga(no anime dvds/blu-rays or anything else that isn't manga)

that's the thing...toonami can't maintain an audience if it doesn't have a good budget to acquire content said audience wants to see WBD Big wigs have got to understand that....the current lineup isn't the success story they want but that's not toonami's fault Lupin Yashahime and double one piece just aren't enough to get people excited about the block weekly they can only acquire what they can afford and with Sony playing hard-ball that further limited the options available to them if WBD Won't give them more money then they shouldn't be surprised to see no major improvements

and let's be honest....who the hell buys anything from the crunchyroll store? people talk about buying from rightstuf you don't hear anyone say "I'm buying this from crunchyroll!"

here's the thing though rightstuf has been struggling a lot since the start of this year...staff shortages and just overall having a difficult time keeping up with most orders

someone told me most people aren't gonna care about what discovery does to hbomax all things concsidered because "People really dont care about quality when over 50% of the workforce is : clock in 9-5, get home at 6, drink a beer and do normal stuff. they just want something to watch" and that statement scares me because that means you can put paint drying on and most people would watch it...because it's something and they don't care what it is they just need something to fall asleep to it could be a shot of somebody pooping on the toilet and it wouldn't phase them if all they require is something on tv...anything

Amazon had that anime strike program they did many years ago...that shit failed can't see them doing any better with crunchyroll.... it just boggles the mind that discovery is content to surrendering in the streaming landscape and admitting defeat because they think it's just some dumb fad like pogs or fidget spinners that will be phased out by something else and then everybody will come running back to big cable tv bundles they see watching cable television as a sacred american tradition but i don't see it that way look at most channels on tv now...so many of them have resorted to endless marathons of old tv shows that it isn't even funny how is that suppose to be seen as better than streaming?....american cable television gave up on anime long ago so i can't even watch stuff like shadows house or the great jahy will not be defeated on television

I Wonder what would have happened if Crunchyroll had not been sold to sony...it seems fortunate that sony bought them when they did because it doesn't seem like Discovery would have any interest in anime and we know dismantling crunchyroll wouldn't be good for anyone

Mister Z and the discovery bunch don't seem to give a shit about competing against other streaming services they are content to waving the white flag to Disney+ Netflix Amazon Paramount And Apple as i doubt many people will stick around just to stream 90 day fiance they really wanna go back to the days where cable tv was king and You'd see brand new movies at the theater not at home

both were uploaded yesterday to crunchyroll/funimation(sub and english dub) i watched both and honestly the baseball one just sucked The Second one was better but only because it felt like an episode of mha instead of whatever the hell HLB was

weird how long this takes to be uploaded on hbomax(it's almost 7:00 AM and still episode five isn't on there) anyways the snake episode and the rake sports episode were...a bit too random so far I'm preferring season 2's content to this honestly

a couple months ago he made these two comments

if they air season two without the movie nobody will have any idea what's even going on and quickly lose interest the movie isn't optional it's a 100% requirement for watching season two.... there's no episodic version of the movie in Season two so unfortunately there's no easy solution for them in regards to Made in Abyss season two honestly if the movie wasn't so essential to the series we wouldn't be having this discussion but alas it is

it's crazy how much that one show airs on mtv....anytime they talk about a ridiculous ness marathon i just wanna say "how's that any different from the normal schedule?!"

no word on if episodes will be uploaded to hbomax the next day but i think that's obvious(It'd be weird if they didn't)
