Because you don't expose the inner workings of how you run things to such an extent that could be bad for you? They don't want the competition knowing that stuff, and you generally don't discuss business deals openly due to legal, courteous and professional reasons. Deals are made in private. They don't want to piss off the people they're working with and they don't want to tip off Netflix who will scoop them if Demarco so much as sneezes the name of a show they're interested in. Remember, he said that if Netflix finds out they're interested in a show they bid double what Toonami does and snatch it up. There's also Hulu and others to contend with. Demarco said it's been very tough to pick up the shows they want lately because of this. Pretty sure it's because they ran out of Toonami relevant material. And they have admitted to GXP and other fairly recent things as being blunders.

Yeah, I'm eating crow now. Don't judge a book by its cover!

Yeah, I'd prefer to be able to separate it in my mind, but I don't know if I can. I mean I pretty much don't even think about Chris Benoit anymore unless someone else brings him up, and I haven't gone back and watched any of his stuff since then. Maybe it's easier to not notice with an author, artist, or director, since you aren't physically seeing the person onscreen who did the deeds? The fact it's a comic/anime and not live action, another degree of separation, might also help? Don't know. I think it also depends on the severity of the offense. Then again, Mike Tyson once bit a man's ear off, was convicted of rape, was a legit scary, violent dude. Now he's a lovable gentle giant doing comedies and starring in an Adult Swim show, pretty much making fun of himself, and raising homing pigeons. So, redemption is possible. But, child porn? That's quite a line crossed. And it's not like anything Watsuki does will ever stop him from having that fetish. At least maybe the girls are just nude and not actually molested in the videos, not that that helps much. It's tough, for sure.

Saw this comment on the MAL post - https://myanimelist.net/news/53117249 "I guess I speak for the whole fandom who has been supporting the series since the beginning when most of us were just kids when I say I am so deeply upset and disappointed and I feel betrayed. Rurouni Kenshin was a huge part of my childhood and it had a big impact in my life. It really hurts knowing he wrote these characters with strong morals and beliefs only to mess it up himself. His own characters would never forgive him. That's what's giving me comfort right now, to think of Kenshin and his friends beating Watsuki's as*. Even the villains such as Shishio would never approve of his actions. I cannot however, throw away everything the series meant to me." That's an admirable thought, but, I dunno, man. It's going to be impossible for me to read or watch Kenshin again without this popping into my head. I still haven't read the manga. D: Re-watched the anime some months back, then the movie. Was going to re-watch the OVAs, watch that Kyoto Arc OVA I hadn't seen yet, then I was going to read the never animated manga arc and ending. Not sure I will now. D:

Thing is though, Kenshin wasn't remotely perverted. It doesn't even really have fan service. So this really comes out of no where. Yeah but that was innocent childhood nudity. Some people think it's cute and/or funny. And there is some perverted as hell stuff in Dragon Ball, but it deals with women. Lots of it comic relief based, too. Also remember when Goku would constantly find guys' porn stashes? I don't know how the world would deal with an institution like Dragon Ball having the author being a sex offender, though. I saw someone comment somewhere they hope Oda doesn't get swept up in this since he was apparently Watsuki's assistant for years. I just... can't.

I know right? I still haven't read the manga. D:

I was going to say how I was finally touched by #metoo, but ehh. But yeah, none of the pervos who have gone down, uhh, been exposed, uhhhh, taken out, were really anybody I gave a shit about until now. DAMN IT!

All those celebrities died in 2016 so they wouldn't get popped as sex predators.

NOOOOOOOOO I still haven't read the manga. D: Re-watched the anime some months back, then the movie. Was going to re-watch the OVAs, watch that Kyoto Arc OVA I hadn't seen yet, then I was going to read the never animated manga arc and ending. Not sure I will now. D:

Oh, well that's good!

Didn't watch much of the Dragonball sub due the Son family voices, but still. Besides, she was in tons of other stuff. RIP.

I... see. Well, crap. When are we getting more Seven Deadly Sins? D:

They probably didn't watch the 4th one. This is GXP all over again. Well, if it's so bad it shits the bed in the ratings, it will get death-slotted just like GXP did.

I thought everything was going the way of the seasonal model nowadays.

But, Netflix is showing the shows? I have SuddenLink and they dropped all Viacom channels years ago over carriage fee dispute. We got the channels back a few months ago but now I'm not even interested in them. And yeah I didn't care about Futurama by that point anymore lol. AS ran it to death so I was sick to death of it. Hahaha oh god. I was going to watch that to make fun of it but never got around to it.

They've gotta be banking on that. I can't think of any other reason for them to expand the block and put it up front like that. They're hoping it will be the next big thing. I'm not so sure though. Toonami, you chose... poorly. Wasn't MHA implied to he one of the shows where Netflix they found out they wanted it and bid double Toonami's offer? Yeah it's not taking anythings place so that leaves more hope. Something more mature or different at the very least would be nice. Didn't know Blood Blockade Battlefront was by the Trigun creator. That makes me more interested in it now. I'd probably want to watch the old Space Battleship Yamato stuff first. I've been interested in it for a while. But yeah, if there's a new series it'd be cool for Toonami. *sigh* I'm very disenfranchised and depressed with the state of Toonami right now.

How the hell does Batou fit in a Tachikoma by the way?

Well, that Tachikoma is fucked.

You sure like reading things between the lines that aren't there. I was simply commenting on how the show remains relevant to current events. Either way you can support someone without agreeing with everything they do.

Individual 11 card planted! There's definitely something fishy going on.

Was there a bunch of beer cans and military model kits in that guy's house?

Does a chopper really use up fuel that much faster than a car?! The helicopters went rogue and now are refueling themselves, like Maximum Overdrive.

It was those dummy robot support girls talking to him too so that probably didn't help. They really should've cut him off before it was too late though.
