Yea I think he was more upset that I previously "illegitimate " source was now a place where people could legally watch anime and blamed things like it as to why anime would no longer be watched or picked up as much on live tv. Either way it was bizarre and sorta misguided .

There will always be people who like dubs over subs and vice versa and shows will be picked up on TV because of that. I can kind of agree that streaming sites will eventually kill off traditional television outside of live events, but even that scenario is still a ways off imo.
 
I think eventually especially with all the mils but not anytime soon

The highest rated toonami program (usually Dandy or Bleach) struggles to break into the Adult Swim top 40 shows each week. It's normal for 3AM Family Guy re-runs to do better, I'm not sure if the current ratings warrant an expansion although the block has grown since the 2012 resurrection.

Indeed , he sounded like someone who really liked live tv programming and the industry and was upset that media is changing.
 
Novid had strange praise for Toonami and Demarco.
What's strange about it? DeMarco and Toonami are cool. Anywho, the ratings were pretty okay for being a game night and also half the world already having seen the Dandy episode. Cant wait to see what the ratings look like when reruns start.

Novid was a bit excessive in that regard though.

I like how Kami was stronger than Piccolo Daimao and refused to do anything about his rampage even though Kami created Daimao. King Piccolo is his responsibility. He unleashed him on the world then did nothing and let the Earthlings die because he wanted a position of power, but none of the responsibility that came with it?

Asshole.
 
Indeed , he sounded like someone who really liked live tv programming and the industry and was upset that media is changing.

I can relate but it sounds like he really went off the deep end about it.


Edit: Also would love to see some Toonami expansion since currently their extra hour [AS] has acquired is being used for nightly Cleveland show -_-

I just had a dream conversation with a friend.

Imagine a world that this fall replacing Bleach (YAY!) and Space Dandy (BOO!) was a lineup of:

DBZ KAI
SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL
ATTACK ON TITAN.

This thread would lose it.
