Because the guy has focused a lot on what he doesn’t like, without convincing you why you should like what he does. Most Toonami stuff is a case of Follow the Leader, with its hype established elsewhere. The work is done. DeMarco doesn’t need to convince you to watch MHA, the audience has decided it’s the new X-Men. Black Clover has been hyped by Crunchyroll throwing its whole ass into it. Etc, etc. This is why DeMarco having shit taste is a meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man If The Adult Swim Con Arrives and toonami's announcements are terrible I can only imagine demarco's twitter will be spammed with angry replies roasting him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he does the Two Heroes film earns millions at limited release. That falls on Toonami no longer being a primary source for material.

I do think Toonami needs another person to spearhead their original content, because DeMarco, even though he's great at manning the Toonami block and getting anime shows from elsewhere, he's subpar at heading anything that requires his creative input, like IGPX, or FLCL.

Some people have the talent of a used car salesman, many do not. There is no good way to promote it is the issue. The more people know about it the worse the pre-launch reaction will be. It's just going to get dumped onto the block probably between MHA and Black clover. Also it hampers expectations. If people don't think much of something, then the disappointment will be less.

Most people already have their dub fix and aren't tuning in. The only way I could really think of Toonami to try and bring in the young demographic is to try and launch some sort of twitch or youtube thing and have v-tuber characters playing shit games and talking to fans. Also have garbage give aways for participating. I mean fuck what does it cost for them to get a sweatshop shirt that says toonami and send out to people who interact. No AS/T just wants to focus on twitter, it's why they abandoned ASMB. Twitter even is becoming a dying platform because of the drama that is on it, while Twitch and Youtube are being viewed as the better social medias. Probably more due to being able to turn off comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of things have all gone up. Toonami's budget problems are their issue. As well I don't think there will ever be a time where toonami says they aren't having budget problems. They're a late night block that is only competing against CNN midnight news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Wouldn't really call it minor annoyance when he seemed shocked and surprised that anyone would censor his shirt because "Yeah No One ever uses swear words during a panel right?..." a minor annoyance would be "Man That sucks but i respect they're decision none the less" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
