CountFrylock Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) what caused him to tweet this?...well apparently a video from 2009 where Voice Actor Greg Ayres dumps on adultswim during a convention due to those "Anime Sucks" Bumpers and how he was given a shirt at a live event that said "Anime Is Teh Sucks" on it what i find weird is that....that was 2009 and to my knowledge Demarco never said anything about it until now nobody brought it up to him on twitter and it's not been a trending topic yet he felt the need to dig it up anyways Edited May 16, 2021 by CountFrylock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) They may have been joking but most of the fandom and a lot of the creators took it seriously. Like I said, they lorded their “only game in town” status over the plebs until mass streaming broke their monopoly. There was a motherfucker on the old ASMB that had an entire site dedicated to shitting on anime and attacking anyone who had anything positive to say. “I think anime STINKS and I’m not gonna apologize.” Edited May 16, 2021 by Jman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Odd that he chose that era in time to do damage control for when it was pretty clear that they didn’t understand why anime fans were upset with how the block was being handled and why they got the shit end of the stick for being fans of the shows they aired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it’s the same reason that Adult Swim did their damndest to reconcile with creators like Brendon Small after they lost the Family Guy rights.

PokeNirvash Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I remember Ranlsa taking a clearly sarcastic "we hate anime" bump seriously on the old ASMB, telling them "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" twice like she had no idea she was being redundant or something. Oh, if only we knew how terrible she could get back then... 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Demarco knows that he is going to go from exec producer to fetching coffee for Dan Abrams in a matter of weeks, so he wants one last bite at the troll apple.... 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The funny thing about 2009 is that at the time, [as] was FAR from the only game in town. Syfy also had a piece of that pie, and were airing such hits as Gurren Lagann, Gundam 00, and Monster every Monday night, alongside some older classic series and movies/OVAs on Ani-Monday! Sure, [as] still had Bleach kicking off a whole night of anime on Saturday nights at 12:30 AM, and a few other ongoing premieres like Code Geass and Moribito were in the mix too, but in 2009, at times Ani-Monday was looking like the stronger brand. And ironically, when Toonami returned in 2012, Greg Ayres would star in Deadman Wonderland!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a motherfucker on the old ASMB that had an entire site dedicated to shitting on anime and attacking anyone who had anything positive to say. “I think anime STINKS and I’m not gonna apologize.” It was obviously a joke and I don't know if "most fans" took it seriously. I at least would hope not. I haven't heard about any creators taking offense, if they even knew about it. Adult Swim would tease and joke around with the fans all the time like that. Not just with the anime stuff, but in general. And they used to do those Q&A bumps. I never would have learned Tessaiga was a falchion if not for those bumps! Honestly it was pretty cool they interacted with the fans at all, since most networks didn't. I think some people just take things too seriously and have no sense of humor. Although, if any actual creators did get offended, that may be cause to reign it in. Especially since that could compromise future business deals and licenses and such, and the sarcasm/joking may not be obvious across the language barrier. I honestly don't remember that part of it at all.

Of course Demarco is still butthurt over that. He's still mad over stuff that happened during the original Toonami, like long-dead competitors buying the rights to shows and sitting on them so Toonami couldn't have them. Of course Demarco didn't mention the voice actor by name, so that makes him look pretty bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 that video from 2009 still exists...so it's not like Demarco had no way of knowing the dude's name pretty sure he did it just to seem professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 And then, there’s the matter of whether Greg Ayres really Greg Cayres about an Adult Swim exec wanting to wedge in the last word over 10 years after the initial dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
