I'm guessing you didn't watch Fixed. I mean it's not about dog schlong it's about dog testicles. Really it's the animated equivalent to 40 Year Old Virgin and you have to admit if nothing else that's novel for animation even today. And it's not playing safe with something like Family Guy or Rick & Morty and it's tremendously better done than Sausage Party. Much better visual gags and much better dialogue. Genndy certainly understands dogs and funny things about their behavior and leans hard into that.

Yeah probably

Generally mergers aren't a good thing for the workers of either company and I don't want to diminish that but... hard to imagine Sky Mount will run things worse than Zaslav and Casey Blows

Man he flat out said nobody but DIsney is making kids cartoons now... Yet another Genndy project that he slowly cooked for decades, he originally pitched the movie in 2008 and obviously the industry wasn't ready for that yet but the Sony exec at the time did like it but they got promoted and the next person didn't. Can you IMAGINE if this came out in 2010?

They were in the same dang company when Toonami tried to get Mob season 2. That was also when CR priced Toonami out of JJK, Shield Hero and KonoSuba (allegedly). He really wasn’t throwing CR under the bus until after Sony bought CR but CR was always difficult to work with even before Sony. And unfortunately that merger pushed all those attributes to FUNimation now under the same leadership. DeMarco certainly didn’t help but by the time he was public in his frustrations with CR that relationship was probably already burned by CR first. Like really what did he say that was so egregious besides “we would have promoted G Witch if we got it” and “they priced us out of X show”. It feels like CR management have always had a grudge against Toonami (and probably hated sharing originals with Toonami) and I really don’t think it’s because of DeMarco or anyone else that has worked on the block. We don’t even know if AXS got MHA from CR or if Toho controls the TV rights now. Fate is under Aniplex. The crypto bros might have gone directly to the Japanese companies. It would explain why they don’t have translated credits even though they exist for at least MHA.

They confirmed Spring 2026 which would be April-June for the anime Spring season but did they confirm April specifically?

You mean besides two more seasons of Ninja Kamui? Also they’re showing the first dubbed ep in October? I guess an early 2026 launch is feasible.

Mashle would be acceptable and I would welcome it.

Looks like Bleach is sticking around for part 2 of the Thousand-Year Blood War as well. Seems like Toonami is pretty well stocked until Daima ends in mid-November and there's a non-zero chance they actually will roll right into the 2nd cour of Dan Da Dan when the first cour ends. They should just stop being cowards and give Futurama Toonami bumps.

Naruto is still on and MAWS replaces CSE at 3:30 (that starts this Saturday). So they probably just forgot 3am on the graphic (again) because Naruto has Toonami bumps but MAWS most likely will not have Toonami bumps.

IGPX was remastered for BD. Jose really only expected to run eps on DST but provided the rest once Toonami decided to keep it around. Unfortunately probably did real bad so they dropped it again and don’t intend to show the 2nd season.

The popular ones probably will go to Hulu, Netflix or Amazon if they aren’t already on any of them but the more obscure ones probably won’t go anywhere. Maaaaybe Tubi will get some of the obscure leftovers, that would be neat. Any of them is a better choice than HBO Max but at this point the value of that service only will continue to diminish.

Baaed on current and recent developments, older AS shows will continue to stream on the AS website/app and on-demand through cable/satellite/slim packages when HBO Max doesn’t want them. CN shows are likewise available on-demand if they’re not on Hulu, Amazon or Netflix. Both libraries should have shows on Tubi and maybe some CN or AS shows will go there like Hanna Barbera and WB shows have already.

The whole panel is up? Awesome! I missed it because the line was insane.

This split would almost be good (besides the loss of jobs and projects) if AS/CN (and by extension Boomerang) and TCM were on the WB side with HBO. As it stands they feel like two islands in a sea of unscripted TV shows under the Discovery banner. Nothing much will change for Adult Swim because they mostly rely on Disney owned shows anyway and I don’t think they will lose R&M, the president spin-off, Smiling Friends or any other original series that does well for AS. I would not rule out HBO Max taking some or all of those away but they’re probably sticking with AS for a while yet. But now the network won’t own the rights to those shows and have to pay for the privilege of showing them. They can develop new IP for the network and on the AS side that probably will happen but the CN side? Not dang likely. Meanwhile WB will make shows for HBO Max or any streamer willing to pay the most. This could lead to interesting acquisitions for AS and maybe even some for CN if they even care to do that. Or CN will just air whatever WB catalog shows that are affordable enough and maybe WB won’t price them out of Gumball, Adventure Time and Regular Show reruns. Somewhat ironically TTG a WBA show itself is probably gonna stay on the network and even keep premiering episodes there. Its not all that different than when Turner was largely autonomous under AOL Time Warner but back then Turner had plenty of operating cash they pumped into CN and I don’t see Discovery’s regime doing that for a number of reasons. Honestly I don’t know why they don’t just kill CN outright. Maybe they’ll finally kill it now if it becomes too expensive to air library titles on it. But AS will probably be fine and Toonami by extension will stick around but Rooster Fighter might be the last anime co-pro besides more Ninja Kamui.
