Still, the words given are kind, probably since the pair did work on co-productions.

And now, 25 years later, Toonami still runs. It’s not the only steady anime game in town, as you being on this website can attest, but its ethos hasn’t changed. Anime is here, it’s great, and it’s for everyone. For many people over the years, Toonami brought anime to life. Long live Toonami.

The writer probably has a fondness for Toonami but apparently so does the founder of CR.

Netflix also tweeted a shoutout to Toonami and that definitely felt disingenuous.

There’s something about recognizing a pioneer, who like Blockbuster, they are now trying to run out of business.

What the hell makes you think Netflix is trying to run Toonami out of business? Netflix probably THANKED Toonami for doing the hard work for them before streaming their leftovers.

Besides, Netflix's business model doesn't really rely on actually WATCHING their streams. If you are a subscriber, they have your money, no matter how much or how little you watch. With TV, it's all about the ad revenue.
