The1gairon Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Think you can get the rights now that Neflix doesn't have it anymore after the longest time? Tough. It's tossed to Hulu now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 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!”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Apparently Toonami has been doing a bunch of show rejections recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 And why wouldn't they? 1. they can't get EVERY good anime out there due to their limited timeslots. 2. they have tons of competition that all offer better deals to companies than Toonami does.

OwlChemist81 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 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!

PokeNirvash Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Because Crystal is more recent and the original series has picture quality issues from having existed since 1992? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mochi Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Crystal's Season 1 and 2 character designs were also Hideous in my opinion Usagi looks surprisingly horrible with lipstick on and it would seem Toei ultimately agree'd since they overhauled the art in Season 3 to make it more closely resemble the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) 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.

The1gairon Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Which is ironic because word of god stated the intent to revamp the designs for Crystal was to ALSO make it look more like the manga! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I mean Toonami was never getting Sailor Moon in the first place, so this shouldn't surprise anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
