The thing about NFTs is that, while the general public has largely moved on (assuming they ever really took to them in the first place), there's always going to be a niche market of hyper-whales who are willing to stake money on a proof of stake that may or may not pay off. It's like how some anime mobile games stay afloat, the difference being that rolling for SSRs is cut and dry, while NFTs are often a means to an end that the token collectors probably don't care about. So how many people who buy the Anime.com tokens do you think will actually watch the show it's promoting? If something like this didn't work out for Neopets, it probably ain't gonna for you, blud.

Besides, this is a way more effective marketing strategy:

 

Anime gacha players are a different breed. NFT people at least are thinking about their financial future, even if it’s just scammers trying to out scam other scammers. 
 

Gacha players are just in it for the jpeg. Money does not motivate them, just jpegs. Financial security? Generational wealth? No, there is an SSR I need with 0.5% roll odds, I need to take out another loan.

I see you are a fellow Mint Fantome and Dokibird enjoyer.

Fuck Nijisanji, all my homies hate Nijisanji. I'm glad they both got out and are thriving.

Oh hell yeah. I've been posting some good clips (and occasionally whole streams) of various VTubers in the YT thread.

Just came back from setting up my recording for UBW #1 (the real one this time), and it looks like the Saturday night at midnight encore has been moved to Friday nights at 12:30. Guess they bit off more than they could chew, trying to directly compete with Toonami.

Heh, well that was fast.

[Blatch]

So it's almost time for Episodes 1 and 2 of UBW, except that Xfinity is showing a one-hour slot for just Episode 2... of the 2006 Fate anime. I think it was like this last week, too, though I didn't think anything of it at the time. No unique episode blurb either, just an awkwardly-worded blurb for the DEEN show. Pretty ramshackle, inn't it?

[PokeNirvash]

Ah, so that's why F/SN 2006 was showing up in my DirecTV search results!

Ramshackle or not, AXS TV's schedule says UBW #1, so that's what I'm ultimately trusting.

[Blatch]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to abruptly switch to a show Aniplex doesn't have. Not even the most back-alley anime operation in town (so Mnet America) would do that!

[Blatch]

Okay, so that was just Episode 1. Whew! Saw a lot of ads for Jameson whisky, and it turns out they're actually fitting. Also, speaking of which, there was one more commercial break than last week for some reason.

Don't think my rating will diverge from Poke's this time: TV-14LV.

Are you sure? I saw Saturday Night at 12:30.

Sling still shows it on Saturday albeit at 12:30-1:30

[PokeNirvash]

That's early Saturday morning. Which is late Friday night.

No, it's Saturday night/Sunday morning. Same as Toonami.

[PokeNirvash]

No, it's late Friday night/early Saturday morning at 12:30 AM. Don't believe me, click this link and try believing me then.

So did it actually come on last night? Did anyone watch?

[OwlChemist81]

FATE is on AXS now!

[PokeNirvash]

Wait, what sense does that even...

Meh, whatever, my recording for it took in the end and that's what matters.

And you would be right on that. (Though I was personally expecting at least one S-bomb, but hey, two "bitch" variations and a "bastard" will work just fine.)
