Jman Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I would say it was unfair but given the shows ASA aired...no, it was completely justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 "Not Sucking Saturdays" was the worst ASA commercial ever, and it wasn't even about ASA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's a shame because they aired during the only good years of Adult Swim anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hey, remember when the ASMB shut down? Maybe it was a mercy killing, but it goes to show that [as] thought you guys were more cancerous than... gross-out comic strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreHunter Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I remember the funny anti-anime ones that people would lose their shit and pout over. Especially the one where they talked about how how they hate anime so much, which is why they send someone to japan to negotiate deals, and pay lots of money for the rights to show it, and make bumps to advertise the anime.

PokeNirvash Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My favorite bump was the Moribito one. I didn't think of it as anti-ASA, though. More like, "we know the ratings are gonna suck, but we're airing it regardless". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 At which point they need to wonder why they aired it in the first place. "We have a show no one likes, will do terrible, but fuck all of you, it's 2007, and we sure as hell aren't airing Fairy Tail." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well, at least they didn't air Fairy Tail..... I have no opinion of Fairy Tail having never seen an episode but considering how long it's been available someone at Williams Street must have a personal dislike of the show. Like it drives them unreasonably angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Didn't really see anything in there that said it was terrible either. Just that the ratings would obviously be low. Besides, the Fairy Tail anime didn't even exist when [as] picked up Moribito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was popular when Moribito was fucking up the ratings? I know it was around the Geass instead of Gurren debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it drives them unreasonably angry. Because it's mediocre. I doubt there's any strong feelings involved. But when you have the other long running shonens on the block who all do the same thing but better, there's no reason to even notice FT. And that's pretty much it, to them it's below their notice. It doesn't bring anything to the table. Although I personally wouldn't mind it replacing Naruto, I'd rather another show altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Keep in mind it was 2007 and their only long runner was Bleach, coincidentally, their only successful show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FT anime didn't exist back then. It came out in 2010 and wasn't dubbed until 2011 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
