Zenigundam Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I'm seeing right through the veil. This is terrible... I only wish Sci-Fi could have kept Ani-Monday, but the people in charge were definitely looking out for any extra buck they could get. I know there was probably an internal struggle there to keep it going. Sadly, the bad guys won and now they'll die of heart attacks at 51, damn corporate bastards. And the funny thing is, I'm not a fan of "Toonami" just the shows. I've been around the game a very long time. I remember the original Toonami run by Moltar with Voltron and Robotech and I remember when Sailor Moon started. I remember the first TOM and Ronin Warriors and the Intruder when he got killed. I was even there in those weak ass Saturday only days when One Piece and Naruto started and Bobobo and Toonami Jetstream. But Toonami has really dropped the ball. When I got introduced to ASA in the very early days, I was already more into it as a once a week, three hour affair over a 6 day (if you count Super Saturdays back then) Toonami deal because it opened my young eyes to how badly Cartoon Network was really chopping up that shit for Toonami. You cannot convince me that nearly all of Toonami's current programming couldn't air on regular CN. You're in denial if you believe otherwise. The whole purpose of ADULT Swim's anime part was to air mature, like TV-14 legit shows that could never be shown when the sun was out. Parasyte, Hellsing Ultimate, Gundam Unicorn... why aren't we getting these types of shows and getting one, possibly two max MATURE shonen series to complement them? Don't even talk about ratings, because the ratings difference would be marginal. Most of these kids don't even have cable they just stream, go to Netflix, go on Instagram, and probably cry themselves to sleep. This whole shit is distorted. When fucking Dragon Ball Super, a garbage show, is this popular, you know there's a problem with this generation. A new Blade Runner anime? '82 Blade Runner sucked and the sequel is 3 hours long and puts me to sleep 45 minutes in whenever I try to give it a shot. Man, fuck Toonami. You didn't build us a better cartoon show after all these years, it was a marketing scam. You sold out and gave in. 🤦♂️ Edited February 23, 2019 by Zenigundam 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 SAO has rape, how could that air on CN? Jojo couldn't. Megalo couldn't Super, Naruto and MHA probably could. HxH couldn't BC probably could. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenigundam Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) They would just edit that content out, like in the old days. Jojo, I have no clue because I think it sucks and haven't watched it in over a year and never will again. Nah, all those shonen could, and ironically SAO and Megalobox are two of the four shows that I follow on here. Don't worry, guys, I'm not mad. Just exposing the Toonami myth. 👨💻 Edited February 23, 2019 by Zenigundam 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... no actually I do get it in terms of the business angle, but I'm pretty sure most of us grown men would like to see some badass content, not an overload of repetitive, generic shonen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
