I think many people here have this assumption that toonami can do much better than boruto at that time slot. It’s 2024 and I don’t think that’s true. Maybe when companies were eager to be on toonami and any time slot was a good time slot but now? I just don’t know who’d be interested in lending out a show for the barely anyones awake time slot

Cable television is mostly reruns these days. A lot of channels are just playing old movies and tv shows That isn’t worth paying so much for

Regardless of what’s in that time slot nobody’s gonna watch it. Fewer and fewer people watch toonami each year so why pretend that isn’t the case? There’s little chance a new show gets that time slot and keeping it around just for more DBZ Kai Reruns seems silly

It’s more likely they’d get rid of that time slot entirely

My problem Is it feels like adultswim is becoming more and more just background noise the network that this Could be any other network and nothing would be different

I haven’t watched it in months since getting rid of cable and paying out the ass just to watch anime once a week made no sense Now I just watch anime on streaming services

There still isn’t enough episodes of most original content so they gotta pad out the schedule with koth/bobs/Ad which ends up making adultswim look very repetitive and boring

It’s a shame because I don’t think anime should just be relegated to graveyard slots on Saturday especially when adultswim struggles to fill time slots Monday-Friday without using multiple bobs burgers American dad and king of the hill episodes

I remember when they tried airing my hero academia as something to close out the nightly programming for adultswim Monday-Friday However they couldn’t even get through the third season before removing it from the lineup

I used to enjoy watching toonami but eventually realized the community aspect of watching shows the same time as everybody else wasn’t worth paying out the ass for cable television The toonami discord will say “streaming it doesn’t give you the same kind of enjoyment” but I disagree

Honestly how many people are really using toonami as the primary way they watch anime?

Remember when people thought this year toonami fans would be eating real good

Several marvel manga books got added to the viz manga app and all viz manga subscribers get a 1 month trial code for marvel unlimited meanwhile marvel unlimited subscribers get a 1 month trial for viz manga

One night per week just isn’t much when it comes to consuming anime and like I just stated cable television is too damn expensive to justify holding for toonami

It’s been months since I even watched toonami I ditched cable long ago and i decided I’m better off watching my anime on streaming services than to continue holding onto cable television when so many of the channels have turned to absolute crap

To be honest this season was too frustrating for me and I’ll be a lot happier not dealing with more of this next season

Speaking of them thoughts on them so far. Have these match ups turned out like you thought they would?

I’ve been feeling a little sore lately and seeing my fantasy football team fail like that didn’t make it any better All could have been avoided if I benched taysom hill and played puka over olave as well as not even pick up the bengals defense. Yet I chose not to do the right thing and opted to play it experimental

Why do you ask?

Congratulations to @scoobdog for defeating me in the quarter finals

But was it really worth flushing most of the year down the toilet for one show? People watching demon slayer in droves on streaming doesn’t mean jack shit for toonami There’s no incentive for me to stay up to watch DS on toonami after I have already seen it on cr

I think it’s fair to say this year was a dumpster fire for toonami and them likely paying out the ass to get demon slayer back doesn’t change that If anything it makes me disappointed that they’ll sink so much time and money into something that most fans likely watched somewhere else long ago

Why are they so impatient for a rerun?

There’s just no reason to bank so much on demon slayer when we all know if somebody really wanted to watch that then they would have done so by now. Most people aren’t waiting around for toonami to air something

I don’t think it was worth sacrificing most of this year just for demon slayer
