I don't know about not liking Fairy Tail, but I remember Demarco remarking on a Pre-Flight episode that he never even watched it before, though Gill had seen some. Given the amount of requests, it seems kind of silly to take such little interest in it. Maybe they were just prioritizing other shows. I mean, it wasn't due to some limit of long-runners we had imagined, as they added HxH and two Dragonball shows. Though I'm not sure why they wouldn't heed those requests but give in to Tokyo Ghoul fans... years after the fact. And I find it hard to sit here and honestly believe that they "like" Tokyo Ghoul. Maybe it's like GXP and they just watched a few episodes without really understanding what it was. The first episode of Tokyo Ghoul is pretty good. Either way, the idea of them not airing shows they don't like is stupid. Should you not air things that don't fit the block? I agree with that. But not airing something your fans want because you don't like it? Come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious that Toonami has managed to gradually get away with more and more stuff in terms of extreme content on the block since it's come back. I think at this point they could probably get by with airing Panty and Stocking - I say with complete speculation having not seen the show. Whether they want to or whether anyone gives a shit at this point, is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panty and Stocking is a deliberate criticism of Japanese purity culture filtered through stuff like Ren & Stimpy and Invader Zim. One episode is a full on homage to “Zim eats Waffles.” Then again, it has a lot of male on female sex, so that’s probably why Mochi dislikes it.

Remember, GXP was pushed 2.5 hours later into the night because Demarco shit the bed on the realization that it wasn't at all what he thought it was, and Toyko Ghoul just moved around because of other acquisitions. They would've buried it by now. I saw that ep where he said he never saw Fairy Tail. I let out a for-real, audible yell at the screen. It had been requested for at least two years!!

Yeah, Tokyo Ghoul didn't do bad enough to get pushed way back in the night like GXP, but that just means it was the right kind of shit to do well on Toonami. I mean, it obviously has an audience. Though I wonder how many were watching it to make fun of it, like we were. Yeah, that was ridiculous. At that point, I gave up any hope of them getting the show, and felt stupid for waiting to watch it for years in hopes I could watch it new on Toonami with everyone, and started watching it on my own. I've also given up on the whole idea of "saving shows for Toonami" over the past several months, as it's obvious they can't be counted on to get many in-demand shows of note anymore. They're slaves to those stupid, easily manipulated fan requests, and other silly practices, like putting on a show "they always wanted to air," "gotta have a Gundam!" etc. Blah.

Sandstone Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 mochi[/member] I have also been very busy this week, thus my absence. On the side note of the Teen Titans and Teen Titans GO especially. I hated these shows, especially GO. I understand it was a lose reinterpretation but goddamnit don't make a mockery out of the comic like that, it was not a comic with a ton of comedic elements and certainly not a comedy oriented comic. How someone can take: And turn it into: American networks apparently think that kids only like randomness stupidity shows and/or comedy shows. My early childhood was in the 90s, so perhaps I'm a bit biased, but I think the major networks could take a few ques from Fox Box, and Nickelodeon's Saturday Morning block from back then. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: "BECAUSE YOU KEEP SPAMMING THE ENTIRE DAY WITH TTG IN EXPENSE OF YOUR OTHER NEW SHOWS AND HAD THE DECISION TO GREENLIGHT THESE MANY SEASONS IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU HACKS!!!!!" I can't stand it, I don't even watch Cartoon Network much anymore, and it's not just because I've gotten too old or adult for it. It's because the shows they put out are just bad plot-wise, annoying and overly memey, or the animation/character designs/style is awful. This is true of much of the American cartoons past about 2005ish. There is also literally no action-oriented content. Which is why I watch Anime almost exclusively now in terms of animation. Don't get me wrong I would watch comedy cartoons... assuming they were good. I miss the days of good shows with good character designs, interesting plotlines, and actual adventures without characters just walking around doing completely stupid shit and then laughing about it. The last one is ok, but not as the entire basis for a tv show, cartoon or otherwise. Look at some of the first successful American cartoons, for example, Looney Tunes and Tex Avery. They had plenty of nonsensical and silly shit going on, but it was at least followable, the characters didn't just walk around and say stupid crap for an hour with no plot or character development. I would watch shows like Adventure Time, and while it had funny moments and amusing episodes, it just always made me think in the back of my head "This isn't memorable". I can't quote or even describe any scene from shows like that, and it is indicative of a serious writing problem, a lack of art design and animation techniques, and complete lack of in-depth character development. You get characters which are just vessels for conveying funny jokes to the audience instead of actually doing something in personality that is unique to them. The last show I can remember Cartoon Network airing that qualified any of those things would be Chowder, I mostly stopped watching CN sometime during the middle of Adventure Time, for previously stated reasons. I miss shows like Ed, Edd, n Eddy or Billy and Mandy which were great in all of the aforementioned categories. And you know how that is significantly evidenced to me? I can deffinitely remember and even quote multiple scenes from those shows, which are still hilarious to this day. I can do that with some of Chowder, but it was around that time that the quality of shows really decreased significantly in American Cartoons during any primetime hours.

The thing fucking Toonami right now is that Demarco is unable to grasp the concept between something that's super popular in Japan, and something that the US actually likes. Japan likes TG. We don't. Japan still loves Gundam. The US sure doesn't. Japan wasn't big on Elfen lied or Trigun. The US loved that stuff. Japan hated the second season of Rosario Vampire so much it killed the franchise. US loved it. Fairytail had US hit written all over it, Demarco just plain blew it on that and MHA. The only things I can even think of that he's done right lately is OPM and AOT S2 ......even though S2 was pretty disappointing that's not really his fault.
