unless these people stick around for the other shows what does toonami gain from catering to people who don't like anything that isn't dragon ball?

- Cosmo Samurai was greenlit pre-COVID and it's much cheaper to produce than the TIE stuff. CGI is expensive and is getting more expensive. - They're still deciding what to do for the 25th anniversary next year. - Stuff like Cosmo Samurai and the Rick and Morty anime shorts come from a separate budget and it is not tied to the budget for acquiring shows. - We should be getting info about the original series in a couple months, such as premiere dates. He said everyone is pleased with how they're turning out, including the "high, higher-ups." - As always, Toonami plans are known well in advance before the public knows. For example, there was a funny moment where Jason forgot that Dr. Stone season 2 is coming to Toonami because he had known for a while it was coming. - And the last thing was the topic about DB: Super reruns. Basically, that's Kim Manning's decision and the reason why it's starting the block is what we have known for a while: it brings in the ratings. The Toonami people see more data than the general public and the show brings in the casual people to Toonami. Jason did say that they're aware that some people are unhappy about this and he said the show won't be at midnight "forever" but it's there for the foreseeable future. He also said that while he appreciates the die-hard fans of the block, they're still a television network at the end of the day and they need to bring in the eyeballs. He also mentioned that My Hero Academia reruns don't do well on the block compared to Super and he speculated it's because My Hero's audience is much younger, so they'll stream it compared to DB fans.

there was no way 16 episodes would be able to fit in the conclusion of AOT(from what I've been hearing anyway)

Yeah Jojo Part 6 will probably put fire force S3 on the backburner for quite sometime so if anyone wants to continue this...be patient or read the manga

i find it funny how Hibana's in the opening but she's barely been in this season

but what will replace it when it's rerun eventually ends? will they just restart from the beginning....

early on in the pandemic it made sense because they were desperate for any kind of content on the block and this helped act as filler now....it's just weird 2 year old dbs reruns don't really help anyone the dbs anime isn't returning anytime soon and people who watch dbs typically run away from any other show You have to imagine adult swim isn't happy with that and this contract has put them in a very frustrating position where the next lead show will most likely be something too niche to attract mainstream attention all while MHA S5 lives in the shadow of DBS Reruns...

keeping the show as the lead show on the block doesn't help any other show it doesn't help toonami because people who only like db will continue what they do...watch that rerun and then tune out so how is this a smart business move?

I Have no idea what will be the lead show after super now....MHA S5 seemed like the obvious choice to take lead spot and demote DBS Reruns but apparently toonami is too stubborn to not have DBS as the star show

someone on the anime superheroes/toonzone forum had this theory to explain why DBS Reruns are still the lead show "One theory I have is that advertisers probably know what Dragonball is more than MHA, Attack on Titan, or any of the anime that are popular but not Dragonball Super tier. Advertisers are probably more willing to throw money at the show. "

reminder this movie had a happy meal promotion in japan... The R-Rating here is a good example of cultural differences Nobody bats an eye at kids being into this series in japan but america? You'd have parents flipping out and sending angry messages

Either MHA Replaces AOT Or fire force I'd be surprised if MHA S5 doesn't show up on toonami in the near future with this announcement

i watched this when it originally aired on the foxbox and i think it's one of the better jobs done by 4kids there's still some of that silly 4kids vibe to it but in my opinion it's not enough to make it awkward

this music video acts as the epilogue and shows how Akane's doing after the show concludes

and yet it's what we still use....so toonami has to appease people who typically aren't anime fans it's why DBS Reruns remain at the front

if that was the case then the lack of engagement with DBS Reruns would have gotten it demoted

Yet They'll DVR Naruto Shippuden but not really do the same for gridman

reminder the average american(counted by nielsen boxes)hated this show

Shaman King Originally ended a long time ago so it isn't like this is new stuff The Original Anime Debuted in 2001(the manga began in 1998)

it's a movie it isn't like Starz has started to air the series itself besides they've aired it during the day as well(much like what they did with the first movie they are doing with the second movie)

Starz Kids had a tendency to frequently air MHA Two Heroes and now they are doing the same for the second movie Heroes Rising also i heard an episode of Mama Named Me Sheriff outdid toonami...what?(I Don't take nielsen ratings seriously and this is one reason why)

man it feels weird for my chinese zodiac to be the snake every other animal in it is somewhat respected but then you have the snake that's like the asshole of the zodiac(much like virgo's for the standard one which i also am)
