Kamui has a 7/10 on iMDB and RoR has a 6.6/10. RoR does have a better MAL ranking but both are sub 7/10 there. RoR might be more popular but to say it dwarf's Kamui popularity seems inaccurate. There's certainly Netflix anime that do dwarf Kamui's popularity though but also many that are much less known or even more infamous than Kamui became by the end. Netflix is always throwing basically whatever they can onto their platform so I don't think they'd cancel Ninja Kamui's second or third season given it's cheap enough to produce.

I stand by S2 and S3 only existing as a vanity project so Adult Swim could claim that not all of their attempts at anime projects were colossal failures. Citing numbers in China of all places as fuel for a 2 season renewal is a pretty big stretch. 
 

Unless they haven’t started at all, S2 will probably make it. As you say, Netflix isn’t averse to just making whatever and seeing what happens. But, they are also quick to cancel stuff, so unless really ignites the popularity charts, it probably won’t make it to S3.

According to Netflix, last week the new season of RoR was watched by 5.3 million households.  More than double what Raw pulled down that week.  Kamui probably got a fifth of that.

I just don’t see DeMarco projects surviving the buyout.

We don't exactly know how well Ninja Kamui would do on Netflix. Despite it's reputation for shitting the bed after episode 5 it did pretty well for itself on Max and theoretically would have done very well on Netflix and maybe still would if it was thrown on there now.

I think it will boil down to when the deal closes.

Either way, after all the shit he said about Netflix and streaming in general, DeMarco is probably going to be left over at Discovery, or if his contract is with Warner, fired Day 1.

Imagine they bring Demarco in and offer him the chance at maintaining a high level position. All he has to do is present his catalog of projects. Then, when he is done lying, the board just starts reading off one star reviews.
