Sailor Moon Getting Exclusive Hulu Deal: Never Coming To Toonami

Hulu’s has exclusive rights to this for a while, but can someone tell me if it’s THAT big a mover for them?  Like did someone scoff at Castle Rock (damn good show BTW) but go “HOLY CRAP!  Sailor Moon is definitely worth my money!”?

If they had it for a while, why would Toonami News make a post like this YESTERDAY?

they made a post like this back when Toonamu first got revived too

 

only logic I can come up with is that people started asking them to get SM again and Toonami had to remind everyone they can't

This isn't really "news". We've known about Hulu's deal with Viz for Sailor Moon for a while.

The thing is, wasn't My Hero Academia ALSO in a contract with Hulu? And where is that now??

But yeah, DeMarco isn't gonna let Klaxosaurs anywhere near Toonami, and we can all be thankful for that!

yes, MHA was until recently a Hulu Exclusive

 

which Is why I keep wondering why Toonami can't just snatch SM when and if the Hulu contract lapses

 

 

the only OTHER thing I find questionable is why they keep trying to get Crystal and not the redubbed original

 

because general agreement is that Crystal is absolutely fucking terrible....................until season 3

Because Crystal is more recent and the original series has picture quality issues from having existed since 1992?

I would think Most people would preffer minor picture quality issues

over animation so off model that it looks like a screenshot of Bob epic Team

Crystal's Season 1 and 2 character designs were also Hideous in my opinion

and it would seem Toei ultimately agree'd since they overhauled the art in Season 3 to make it more closely resemble the original

The only reason I shell for Crystal is because it's newer, and we all know the Toonami crew likes to shill for the newest shows they can get.  But yeah, that one reason isn't enough to justify how the original show is better, even with the new dub.

Now as an adult I appreciate just how good the designs in the old show were. They were expressive, simple, appealing, personable, and just lovely.  The revamped designs in Crystal are complicated, rigid, difficult to get on model, and frequently replaced with robotic CGI.

making Crystal look even stupider for it's over complicated art is that the 90's anime actually resembles the manga much more closely

Because someone on staff decided to do these posts now despite most of them being old news. I guess they were inspired by DeMarco implying Franxx won't be considered for Toonami. Though there certainly are people who still ask Toonami to air Sailor Moon so the topic remains relevant I guess. Personally I thought these posts weren't necessary and wouldn't have made them myself. Oh well.
