what sucks is when i lament about this on the toonami discord I'm met with people saying "It is a mix of things outside of their control. Just give them some leeway and don't be soo uptight. It is unecessary stress on everyone for no real good reason." that i shouldn't care about when the schedule will come out or when new shows will arrive because they'll come when they come....however my patience at this point is long gone i can only take so many stalling tactics and weeks of silence before i just stop giving a damn about toonami i had a weekly routine going watching toonami with my mother and now...that all seems to be dead at this point

inb4 another black lotus marathon.....if that happens I'm gonna be so pissed

still nothing...I'm convinced we're getting another marathon on 1/8

looking like that will be the case....

unfortunately it's christmas and still no word on the upcoming new premiere shows....

still waiting to see what the schedule for 1/8/22 will be...

if he didn't say anything at all then the reactions would be worse....with all the doubling up and random schedule changes we had the late half of this year there would be a lot of confusion and fan theories running around....family guy's departure was too soon for it to put a stop to any new shows coming in for the rest of the year however now that we do know that they don't really spend much on acquired content(like DBS)there's just more confusion now as the only two explanations are either every single show they wanted got an unexpected price hike or it was all funimation content and sony said "No"

demarco also confirmed that the money spent on The Original Shows are separate from the budget they have to spend on acquired shows for toonami which is big news for a lot of fans as the assumption was that they came from the same pot but now that fan theory can labeled as debunked

"Trying to be somewhat transparent about the inner workings of our tv block on here is not easy. I can’t be TOTALLY transparent, and that space between what I can say and what I can’t leaves a lot of room for misunderstanding and misinterpretation." this quote is something that i think frustrates demarco a lot especially now because after the last couple of months....uncertainty regarding the new year is something toonami fans don't like but all demarco can say is "stuff is coming we can't tell you what or when but stuff is coming"

the play was to get KOTH and futurama back it seems...

i wasn't expecting A Harley Quinn Incident to happen....

why would he mention it if it was something that happened back in 2019 and phrase it like it's happening now?

but do you think toonami could afford it after the success of mugen train?

I'd just like something positive to come out of demarco's twitter account lately regarding toonami...that's all instead with this news I'm just hoping sony doesn't block toonami from more than just demon slayer

still seems weird that demarco would comment about sony blocking them from getting demon slayer on twitter...wouldn't you say so?

either way.....should toonami try to find a replacement or just settle for airing the cheapest of the cheap animes to avoid running into issues like this?

You Don't think Sony Jacked up the price on Demon Slayer after seeing mugen train's success?

this raises a question "How Much does toonami need shows like demon slayer And MHA how much do they need the mainstream super duper popular anime?" because people have noted there's many cheap series toonami could pick up that would work perfectly on the block but is that how they should operate...picking up cheaper lesser known shows? if that's the case then do they lose anything if they are unable to air the super popular stuff anymore
