Harley Quinn(Season 1)Marathon Discussion
ben0119 replied to CountFrylock's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
I thought it was separate departments for each TV station. Demarco still defended the person who screwed up though, which he shouldn't have done. I'm kind of surprised it's not automated, honestly. Still, that means there is an even bigger issue at Adult Swim and Toonami if they can have these multiple fuck-ups over the years and it's not even the same people doing it. They must have crappy management and system overall. -

Yeah that is definitely odd. Those shows never aired back to back or anything did they? Like going from Cartoon Network to Adult Swim? Yeah Toonami can get some less popular shows but they still need bigger shows too. I'm honestly amazed Toonami are still able to get some of the shows they have been getting. I guess it must be the relationships Demarco and co. have built up over time with these various companies. Even then, after all this time Toonami aired JoJo and highlighted it, the JoJo people still took the money and ran. I guess it is a good thing that Funimation is considered somewhat of a competitor to Netflix, and Toonami is chummy with Funimation, or Toonami would be really screwed. By the way, whatever happened with the Sony and Crunchyroll deal? I can find no update since late March when it said regulators were looking into whether this deal could pass muster. https://variety.com/2021/biz/asia/sony-deal-for-anime-crunchyroll-uncertainty-1234937897/ Yep Warner Bros. and DC probably won't be too happy about this. It looks very sloppy on Toonami's part. -

I remember another time this happened with another show, someone tweeted that someone is losing their job. And Demarco said "no they aren't. Mistakes happen." Well, if that person who screwed up with that other show is the same person who screwed this up, it shows Demarco doesn't run a clean ship. Even if it was a different employee, mistakes like this shouldn't keep happening. You'd think they would double check this stuff. And it's not like this is some little local station, they're part of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and still fucking up like this. -

Yeah I probably don't need to add to it. I'm sure Demarco will hear of it. I don't know. I have been watching TV for decades and Adult Swim/Toonami are the only ones I can think of that keep fucking up airing the wrong episode of things, or cutting things off, or having glitches. It has happened several times over the years. The only case with another network I can think of was when CW aired this stupid horse show in place of a Supergirl episode. And I'm not even sure if that was nation wide. It may have just been my affiliate. Overly optimistic but even being realistic. If Toonami has a limited budget but Netflix doesn't, yeah there is nothing they can do about it, unfortunately. Yes this was supposed to be a cross promotion which Toonami fucked up in their end. THEY DUN GOOFED! -

That is a dumb question. Why would Netflix want to work with Toonami? They're part of a company that's a direct competitor and plus Netflix doesn't need them. Yeah it's definitely a bad look for Toonami. -

My aunt has HBO Max and Peacock, my cousin has Hulu, and we share our cable login and Disney Plus, a strategy I'm sure many families use. I guess I will go watch the finale on HBO Max, and the first episode, since I didn't know the block was starting so early and missed the first episode. This was for a special occasion and a special deal probably had to be worked out to put this together. I doubt Toonami will go out of their way to fix this and even then I don't know how they will do it. -

I just found out the news about JoJo when I tried to find info about this marathon botch. Very unfortunate. -
I saw this just now when I was trying to find info on Twitter about them airing the wrong episode of Harley Quinn at the end the marathon. This is unfortunate. I will miss discussing the show on Toonami with everyone. Demarco said they lost to Netflix's brute force tactic of bags of cash. I guess even with the massive WarnerMedia conglomerate behind them, Toonami still only gets a tiny "allowance." Does Netflix still do the thing where they wait for a whole season of anime to air before putting out all the episodes all at once? And then taking forever to dub shows, if ever? Because that's going to be a pain in the ass. I hope they keep cast members if any previous characters return too. Even if you say you like streaming over cable, I don't see how this model is preferable to what Funimation, Hulu, or Crunchyroll do. Looked further down the replies. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-08-08/jojo-bizarre-adventure-part-6-stone-ocean-anime-reveals-promo-video-cast-staff-december-debut-on-netflix-worldwide/.176012 YEESH, Netflix is really throwing their weight around! It's going to be on Netflix before it airs in Japan! But my other comments still stand!

I guess if we want to see the 13th episode we gotta go on HBO Max. So mission accomplished I guess? -

I was only able to find these two tweets, and it took me forever since I didn't realize the search button was on the bottom of the screen on mobile. I barely use Twitter at all most of the time. I guess not many Toonami viewers that are active on social media are up at this hour. I could try retweeting it to Demarco or Adult Swim but I'm not sure that will do any good. I doubt anyone is actually manning any stations and this was probably all set up ahead of time? This goof-up like this is a bad look for their corporate synergy. And ironic they just aired that "fatal error" bump. -
