I don't think that toonami could last as a streaming platform simply because they rely on dubbing companies that have their own streaming platforms. Really I'm surprised that Funi or Sentai hasn't tried to make a host like Tom and do live streams through their service to show off newly dubbed episodes each week. Kinda like how Joe bob Brigs will host live on Shudder when they're doing new episodes. I don't know why they think that they can't make money by selling goods and services for a profit. For some reason they seem to trail off into it being too expensive. Then when they do put something out it's like the toonami logo, or a picture of clyde. That was probably the last time I remember them even trying to push any merch was when they were slapping clyde on everything; because nobody wanted a shirt with Tom 4's stupid face on it.

I don't really get what the point would be to move it to a different channel. They would just cancel the block before selling it off to another network. CNN midnight news is the only rival that toonami really has, and it's a sister company. Warner would start up a streaming service that has a weekly live stream before they would try and start a new TV channel for Toonami. I think what you were more getting at is that Toonami itself is constrained a lot by its content. I think we brought this up a couple of weeks ago; about how some anime would be good for old toonami but not new toonami. Then there were other shows like Fairy Tail that are just in this weird limbo that makes them too adolescent to be in a mature block, but too fanservice heavy to be in an adolescent block in america. I think there's also just problems with show schedules, as in just the lineup order. When DBS was new they moved the block to start earlier. It never really seems to come up in terms of cause and effect at toonami, but shows being shown earlier is better. More people are going to see them. Also they tend to have all of the big shows on first; then wonder why people tune out. Yeah if people are drawn to DBS; maybe have it as the 3rd show in. Their logic seems to be that if they did that then people will skip the first hour of shows, but if they show DBS first then they'll stay for the whole night rather than just watch it a peace off to bed. This goes for every new show they get. Either way I think that toonami should have two blocks like it used to. Main one and midnight run pretty much. Use the after school block for shows like Naruto, One Piece, DBS, MHA. The late night block for shows with more gore, language, and fanservice. Also toonami dropped the ball to make money on merch. I don't even think they have a t-shirt for sale yet. You'd think that since they're now targeting adults with an income that they'd be trying to make nostalgia money. For whatever reason they just really glanced over any of that. Also the only merch that I think they have put out just is the bland toonami text. Put tom or moltar's helmet on a shirt you lazy asshats it's not difficult.

I always do my stuff in the dark. Then again I'm not applying makeup or anything so the struggle may be different. -

From pitt can confirm all our old tv's are haunted. Steel worker fell into a vat of molten steel used to make components and he haunts those TV's.

We had a scrambler on ours. Only reason we had Disney, Showtime, HBO, and Max growing up. Because when things went digital we sure as hell never upgraded.
