Funimation won't be uploading a new dub episode tomorrow(the dub will resume 8/27)

It's Filler Time Tomorrow Night At 12:30 AM Eastern/11:30 PM Central with the return Of Sirius And Selkie

I Can't really say outside the obvious because to me mainstream means The Average American has a good chance of encountering the series somehow someway and hearing about it because of that i don't really know what to say about demon slayer since I Don't wanna make any assumptions by claiming the average american has heard of demon slayer and would be familiar with it when i don't know that for sure

i ask because I see too many people online just thinking because something's popular that means it's automatically mainstream(For example Jujutsu Kaisen Or Demon slayer) Do You Agree or Disagree? and regardless what anime do you think would qualify as Mainstream?

i think many people tend to forget there are all kinds of superheroes so it's not like we're gonna be seeing the same thing over and over again....some are sci-fi some are horror and others are just basic street level heroes

just seems strange that they'd be the first fast food place to make A Full On Anime Themed Commercial in the united states is taco bell popular with anime fans or something?

my question is why was it taco bell not mcdonalds or burger king or even wendy's? nope it was taco bell..

so in other words Toonami Can't really do anything about it then because even the originals will debut at the exact same time on crunchyroll(subtitled)giving them no incentive to watch it on toonami and aside from that toonami doesn't have the money to get the most exciting anime content to air exclusively on toonami so i guess i have to face facts that toonami is doing the best they possibly can right now and ever will be able to given how things are the anime that would make toonami popular again realistically cannot air on toonami

it just sucks that the best performances from The toonami block lately have been corporate sponsored events that are less about the block and more about using it to promote something so what kind of anime would appeal to the average american? because i often get the sense that a lot of toonami content seems too foreign and weird to the typical american viewer

hey if that's what you wanna screencap go ahead....seems like a waste of time though but hey this message board is mostly for shit posting so i don't exactly expect the best decisions to be made on here

Hey I'm not complaining anymore I'm in a far better situation (btw doordash doesn't really deliver groceries around me...the best they can do is deliver from CVS Or a gas station)so You'll never hear me talk about lack of money ever again

honestly why do you even care that they are using doordash? if someone's willing to pay to use the service and someone's willing to deliver then what's the problem? you seem to forget most Technological advancements exist to make life easier....it's not about working harder to make things harder it's about working to make things much easier in turn that might result in some laziness but that's the point.....An Easier Life like going from walking on foot to eventually cars even the internet we currently use has made life much easier....we can order stuff at the tip of our fingers without leaving the confines of our humble abode

well we are still in a pandemic.....that's the reason why a lot of those delivery app's saw a major boost in usage last year it's nothing to do with being lazy it's everything to do with wanting to avoid people spreading the virus around all while acting like it's just a hoax

makes me wonder why more people just come out of the woodworks for DC Content then never return for anything else an argument came up on this topic that maybe it's because those are special events out of the ordinary and they wouldn't do so well if they became a normal part of toonami but would that really be the case? it seems more and more likely that DC Content is just more appealing to the viewer than any anime toonami can muster now(Even The AS/CR original fena pirate princess)

i feel if they stuck to one episode then we wouldn't have gotten anywhere with just the first episode

if you have used any....that is

because Anime is A Investment(not just in money but time) and requires many people to be on board it isn't something you just casually do with little thought or effort put into it it's something that requires a lot of time invested into it and with that time invested....People need to be paid If You Look At Something Like Spirited Away Or...A More Recent Example Demon Slayer and say "yeah that could still exist without Capitalism" you are nuts Artists need to be paid for the time they spent on such projects....

however...Nielsen Ratings are a small part of the picture and a very inaccurate one at that so maybe it's best not to look at them as The Deciding Factor in What toonami should do because then you start running the block based off what a small sample size audience wants and that just doesn't make much sense now there's so many factors to look into...most of which we do not have access to and the one we do have access to the majority of us aren't even counted in it(I've never been selected for the nielsen survey and i doubt many people have either)

how do this topic go from "should anime dub va's be paid better?" to "Capitalistic Pig Dogs!"

so looking at the ratings for the HQ Marathon....i can already see some of those people pointing and saying "SEE! this proves the block needs more american cartoons because three of the airings broke 400K Viewers....when was the last time anime did that on toonami?!"

three of the episodes cracked 400K Viewers(which is better than anything the regular toonami block can muster)maybe this is proof that Toonami Needs More DC Content On The Block?

voice actors aren't really valued that much by the mainstream media....they believe unless it's a well known celebrity nobody will care.... and speaking of disney it's a shame that after Disney stopped handling movies like that.....Japanese Animated Films went back to being Limited Release(even the bigger name series like MHA And Demon Slayer Might Only Have 1'000 theaters or so in the country playing them)

it sucks that there's assumption that voice actors aren't real actors....it doesn't help that the only time you see a voice actor on any talk show is when it's some mainstream celebrity doing voice work for an animated film someone who typically doesn't do voice work and isn't the best person to ask what it's like

and that really is disappointing....as it continues this vibe of Anime being this bizarre obscure piece of entertainment that the average american has no clue about while it's no surprise Kari Wahlgren's name is rising due to rick and morty....it sucks that it's due to a character whose personality is about as interesting as cardboard and her only purpose is "the girl that morty can never get"

Stuff like this happens to many notable Anime Dub VA's too and it's depressing because they don't get paid enough to deal with that kind of crap behavior from psycho fans hell they aren't even classified as celebrities they are below washed up movie stars and tv actors that are irrelevant now... but people still keep harassing them anyways
