Top Gun Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I trust that piece of shit as far as I can throw his bloated ass but at least it seems like good news for the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarwind Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 While I don't necessarily believe him (I've seen enough times where someone will say something is safe then go and get rid of it), I do think Toonami isn't going anywhere. They seem to be cutting a lot right now and it isn't doing them any favors, either monetarily or with potential/current customers. If they cut Toonami now they would lose a lot of the goodwill that they barely have to begin with. They can't afford that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilgar Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I don't think they really care about goodwill right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flat out told Clint Eastwood to go to hell saying they didn’t owe him anything to release his next film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) [sigh] It's discussions like this that make me wish this site had a function to just remove entire threads from your dash. Because as reassuring as the news is, it seems almost factory-designed to get people riled up over hypotheticals.

Sorry I couldn't resist. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not much that can be done if someone saying “the block is safe” somehow still worries you. As it stands, the biggest issue is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It's less the block being safe upsetting me as it is the theorizing that Zaslav is lying though his teeth about it. In the moment, it's comforting, but no less worrisome than what we've already went through if we're really trying to stretch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you feel about the breaking news that Toonami is C ontinuing to offer anime programming for free? Great news isn't it! Wow weird gap there, musta been some sorta glitch.

OwlChemist81 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm almost certain now he's pushing for Toonami to acquire Gundam WFM and use it to cross-promote Battlebots Season 5/7/12/2022-23 on Discovery! The question is: would that take midnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just cynical of anything someone in his position would say, Toonami related or not. It's not so much I think he's lying about Toonami being safe, just that I doubt sheer goodwill is that reason. This is what happens when I read too much TVTropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Agreed, though in my case I just get sick of how repetitive some of the entries are and that's when I know I've been on too long. Spoiler One time I saw two entries on the Trivia page for Master of Martial Hearts that said the almost exact same thing about Alexis Tipton regretting doing voice work for it, so I edited out the second instance and replaced it with "see above".

I think it's pretty obvious if you stop to think about about it for a second. It's Gamera NT. It's pretty clear he's a fan of a version of Gamera from Godzilla who is into non traditional relationships. ...... not sure how you missed that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I saw this but I think it was on CBR. I didn't read the actual article. I didn't see it posted on the boards at the time and was too tired, so I went to bed. Glad to see the story was credible and Toonami is safe from the cuts. Even though I honestly don't get the point of this merger, if they are going to get rid of so much stuff. And it's not exactly a natural fit anyway. The content of the two companies has nothing in common with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The content of the two companies has nothing in common with each other. The point of the merger was very simple. Seller wanted to unload the ginormous, up to the eyeballs debt Warner Media had, and every new buyer thinks they're the one that can leverage Warner's gigantic library of IP's, networks, and other assets while pairing down said debt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
