Sketch Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Cross-promotion between networks? What a novel idea. Seems odd it wasn’t the lineup promo and the only program shown was Naruto Shippuden and from the Pain fight I think. Well that’s more than AT&T ever did to promote Toonami so maybe the Discovery people will do more than this? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) That IS bizarre!! What program was this during?? Oh, Young Sheldon!! Actually, Toonami ads during Big Bang Theory and its spinoffs does make some sense! Edited June 7, 2022 by OwlChemist81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 i suppose this does put a dumper on those rumors of AS/Toonami being shutdown by next year(Why bother promoting it outside adultswim if there's already plans in place to remove adultswim from television) although this commercial still seems weird because as many have already mentioned before it's using Pain Story footage episodes that toonami no longer has the rights for(Meaning if people tuned in expecting those episodes they'd be confused) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just about as misleading but at least it won’t make people think Toonami is still in the Pain arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seight Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I saw that same commercial during Dynamite earlier. I swear this isn't me going "WOULDN'T IT BE PERFECT FOR TOONAMI THO?", this is just full disclosure that a couple of nights ago wasn't a random event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFrylock Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I Wish we could have gotten this kind of action before things got so rough for the block.... seeing promo's during AEW right now while we're expecting a time slot cut just seems weird to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEW After Dark to lead off before Toonami needs to happen. AEW has 2 weekly streaming shows on YouTube: Elevation and Dark. Putting some of those matches on [as] from 10 to midnight wouldn't seem to be such a terrible idea to me! Hell, the way this is going, we might even end up seeing topicals for the new Gundam show during BattleBots next year. That would be freaking smart!!

Sketch Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’m not opposed to Adult Swim airing AEW before Toonami though if it’s not a live event then it will probably do a lot worse than AEW does on TBS. Still might do better than Saturday comedy but Saturday comedy doesn’t do bad compared to other nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seight Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 You know, thinking about it actually, it could be like found money for WBD in terms of A) Saturday Night not being a high priority for networks so [as] could be good ratings-wise with Dark and/or Elevation and B) You could bump Toonami a bit if they decide to stay on that channel afterwords. Spoiler To be fair also, I can't for certain say how much the overlap between "wrestling fans" and "anime fans" are, but Forbidden Door is mostly AEW vs. New Japan Pro Wrestling, so there's...some just based on correlation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
