The recent rejections of CR shows in favor of...Paranoia Agent May be DeMarco trying time maintain independence opposite this.

Is anyone making clear what will happen with Crunchyroll and Adult Swim's content after May 27th?

You can still get CR separate, but HBO MAX will be one stop shopping.

VRV meanwhile may be numbered.

Was Lil Slugger really expected to compete with Joe Exotic?

It just amuses me that some show about a Tiger weirdo basically = every viewer Toonami will get for every show added together for an entire year.

That's not right. Every Toonami timeslot added up in 2019 was over 200 million!

...They'll be included with HBO Max, obviously. :|

..... I mean what will happen to Crunchyroll and Adult Swim's show if someone else also runs the same things. Is there some conditions in their contracts? Are they also allowed to run them, or get rid of them?

The idea is if you just want the one service, you go to CR or Adult Swim.  If you want everything, you go to HBO MAX.  So there’s overlap.

Adult Swim doesn't even have a service, they put their shows on Hulu. Now they'll be on HBO Max instead of Hulu.

I'm still thinking the CR library will be very limited on HBO Max, possibly to just CR co-productions and other shows they have the master license for. But there might also be some catalog anime from other providers like Toei, TV Tokyo, Discotek, Nozomi, etc but far from the entire catalog.

Meanwhile... Syfy just acquired the Harley Quinn animated series. That definitely would have done better on Adult Swim or even TBS but Syfy was willing to pay for it.

It's how we got Geass and Moribito instead of Gurren Lagann and Gundam 00.

AKA the absolute low point of the block.

It was telling when Toonami came back they immediately got Soul Eater and then got Gurren to air after that.

It all comes down to Comcast throwing enough money at SYFY to get stuff and Warner Media not doing much of that for Adult Swim.

Ironically, Code Geass: Akito The Exiled WOULD be a fine choice to get Toonami past a 2-show gap at the top these days!

And at least we ended up getting Gurren Lagann and better Gundam shows in Iron-Blooded Orphans, Unicorn, and the Origin!

But Moribito was a good show, and I'm glad they aired it.  Code Geass though is quite possibly one of the worst animes of all times.

There was also the feeling ASA got Kekkaishi over Soul Eater, though we'll never really know.  I liked that show too and was glad it aired, the story only got even better as it progressed in the manga.

But yeah Toonami got Gurren and Soul Eater FAST lol.

So are Demarco's days numbered?

And what is the difference between HBO Now and HBO Max?

HBO NOW was just HBO shows and movies on demand.

HBO MAX is HBO plus other services like DC Universe and Crunchyroll.  The idea is to get all the WarnerMedia owned products under one umbrella.

If you think Code Geass is even one of the worst mecha... take a gander at Cross Ange, Valrave the Liberator and Eureka 7’s sequel AO. The first two affectionately refereed to as Cross Anal and Valvrape. The later’s nickname is not without warrant. Oh and Gundam SEED Destiny is a shit stain.

But that’s just mecha. There are much worse anime that exist.

I saw the three episodes Chiller aired.  That was enough.

You probably don't like Heaven's lost property either.

I've never seen it but probably wouldn't be a fan.  Not a fan of the art style here.  On MAL it has genres listed as harem and ecchi... blegh.

Seriously that Zombie show has got to be one of the most annoying shows and worst shows to sit through.  Is a guy dressing up in girl's clothes really such comedy brilliance to you?  Are you British or something?  And the girls were fucking annoying.  The one gag I will give some credit to is the girl who never speaks and the guy keeps imagining her saying all this perverted stuff, with a different voice every episode.  But mostly it is just a bad show.

See you say you watched the show, but you don't recognize the "Is this a Zombie" girls cosplaying as Icarus Astrea and Nymph from heaven's lost property =P

Is gen:LOCK season 2 one of the HBO max launch shows?

If so, I dare Toonami to marathon Season 1 on the Saturday before Memorial Day, only this time, do it uncut! Sure that would extend Toonami to 4.5 hours for one night only, as the first and last episodes would be 45 minutes long, so episodes 2-7 would air at 45 minutes and 15 minutes after the hour, but it WOULD be a great way to promote Season 2, especially if it contains sneak peeks!

I very much doubt gen:LOCK season 2 is a launch show.

I gotta eat some crow on my predictions though, Adult Swim shows are getting pulled off the app after all. Several shows including Primal and Samurai Jack have left the Adult Swim app and Aqua Teen leaves later in May. I don't particularly like that because it indicates the notable shows will be pulled off the Adult Swim site/app after probably only a short while. We'll see how it goes.

They don't have unlimited bandwidth, so it makes sense to me. Weird that Primal has already left, considering its last episode follows Toonami tonight.

Samurai Jack also has 2 episodes left on Adult Swim until it gets pulled for the foreseeable future, so the fact that it has already left is strange. Or it could be just a mistake. There IS a 24/7 Samurai Jack streaming channel now, for example!

As I recall the 24/7 streaming channels are allowed to air episodes of shows that they aren't currently streaming on-demand. Like when the Toonami stream had marathons of shows going and it wasn't just episodes that were available on-demand at the time.

Anyhoo here's a twitter post detailing shows that have recently left the AS site/app and will be leaving eventually.

Already gone: Home Movies, Metalocalypse, Primal, Robot Chicken, Samurai Jack
Leaving May 26th: Aqua Teen
Leaving August 31st: Joe Pera season 1, Lazor Wulf, Squidbillies

I did watch the show.  The stuff I described about it should be proof enough of that.

But do you really think I'm going to commit to memory a bunch of characters from a show I didn't even like that I watched umpteen years ago?  And only 3 episodes at that?

Well that's fucked up.  They're gonna take it all off the actual Adult Swim site and paywall it, eh?

What a way to treat the people that are paying for cable to get the actual channel.

To be fair, I guess you can get HBO to get it back!

I have no interest in HBO.  But my Aunt recently got HBO Now.  Don't know if she would get HBO Max when it comes out.

There’s deals in place to make MAX and Now the same amount.

Warner is betting big on this service, which will further complicate the streaming wars and anime’s place in them.
