Toei doesn't need the financial support from Adult Swim. Adult Swim is too small of a player to be a co-producer anyways. If Toei really needed help they would work with Fox like they did for the last two movies.

Bah humbug. I hope it doesn't make my posts seem out of place.
"Hey, Kirito is gonna attempt something super hard in a video game. I wonder if he'll succeed."
*Kirito has already flawlessly accomplished this and we've gotten 5 Sinon ass-shots in the meantime*
I hate Sword Art Online so much.
You and me both brother

There are multiple streaming services out there who have already made it their business to outbid us and secure exclusive rights to shows...
Demarco's burying the lead here. This is by far the most interesting revelation. The fact the streaming sites have outbidded Toonami for shows might help explain where some of the most requested are.
For example, we can probably assume Toonami WON'T be getting Sailor Moon Crystal anytime soon thanks to their deal with Hulu. Probably the example Demarco was thinking of with that tweet.
Let it fund Dragon Ball Super!
Ok so I found those KLK rating stats. If I'm interpreting the chart correctly (it has info on a bunch of different shows) then KLK did indeed do exceptionally well with females 12-34.
Deal with Hulu? Aren't episodes of Crystal also on Crunchyroll as well with no delay? Or do you mean the Sailor Moon Classic deal?

I think if there was one show they'd break the bank for it's this one. They remember what DBZ did back in the day and they'll want to repeat that, improve on it even.
Goddamn it, SAO beat Inuyasha too. What the hell do girls want to watch SAO for? It's like the most offensive shit to women on the block!
Inuyasha did put up really respectable numbers among that demo though.
Yea, Sailor Moon Crystal simulcasts on a number of websites simultaneously and it does so with subtitles. We are presuming that Toonami is going to get the dub premiere at some point.
Not sure of the source (well actually that twitter handle helps I'd assume) but it's cool fanart:
Right which is why I'm confused with regards to how Hulu would stop the eventual Sailor Moon Crystal dub from landing on Toonami unless there is some aspect about this "deal" I'm not aware of.

It shouldn't.
Yeah the delay is there.
Also it's frozen on me a couple times during commercials. I never noticed until I saw the chat pick back up because it's a static image and the buffering icon is small.

I always use the stream and I've generally been ok.
The joys of laughing at 2 minute old jokes ;_;
I'm still confused as to why people are confused about Kill LA Kill doing well with females.
Have y'all never hung out with female anime fans before?

Well Hulu seems to have the exclusivity on Sailor Moon classic. And the original press release for Sailor Moon Crystal seemed to imply that it would also be exclusive to Hulu. I wasn't aware of it being on Crunchyroll. Perhaps the exclusivity was only for the classic series and they were just leaving out crunchroll? Or perhaps there is a Crystal deal but it'll only apply to the english dub?
Still, there must be some series that have been wrapped up in exclusivity deals with streaming sites. If not Sailor Moon, I wonder which ones they are....
I thought we "concluded" (inferred through deduction but have nothing to confirm our suspicions) that he was likely talking about Psycho-Pass and maybe Knights of Sidonia?
I'm not surprised, after seeing/meeting some of them, but I get why many others would be what with KLK's rampant fanservice and how that is assumed to be a turn off to women (and to be fair KLK does get skeevy sometimes so the criticism is warranted)

Aqua Teen is ending? Damn, I feel old.
And Metalocalypse got cancelled?! What the hell?

It sounds like they might be cleaning house from their old style of programming. They could be looking to update the style of their original shows.

Aqua Teen was cool, but man that was a level of weird my babby self couldn't handle.
Wait, there's a NEW DBZ show??? Have I been living under a rock?

OMG, once again, where were these girls who were interested into guys that were l33t gods with video games in high school?!
I was in 7th grade when that show started
My 10 year High School reunion is next year
At least it draws in the ratings to continue. It seems any cartoon that isn't 15 minutes long nowadays is doomed to have the worst schedules in history. Scooby Doo Mystery Inc., Gravity Falls, TMNT 2012, Young Justice all suffered the same problems and only half survived.
Doesn't seem to stop Venture Bros. Thank god.
Lazybones18 PR campaign is that good.
It's all about Kirito. Guys want to be him. Ladies want to be with him.
I'm not even sure why SAO is a thing people enjoy watching.
RIP Tron Uprising, you were too good for this world.
Also needs a Blu-Ray release strat. Series was goddamn gorgeous.
Kirito-sama may have actual female appeal beyond my hetero-male ability to comprehend. I mean, to his credit he does seem like a nice guy, wears a lot of black, and I suppose he could be considered cute. Maybe a male power-fantasy character like Kirito appeals to hetero-women in more of a "isn't he dreamy" way?
Also, there's Sinon who is by far the best character in the series, at least of what we've seen so far. She's strong, independent, and yet flawed. It's not hard to imagine young women relating to her. However, she could be as offending to women as Kirito is to me. I really can't say.
Exactly.

Its a slow motion train wreck. You watch it to see how hilariously bad it can get, but at the least it never stops being entertaining.
I thought the first half of S1 was ok, never saw the second half, but I hear it goes places.

That's.....weird.
I like KLK more than most on the Toonami block, but I don't want it over One Piece :\

So they usually have a special event or whatever for this day?
Is there any particular reason for it?
Many people on vacation. I assume they just don't want people to get behind and lose the incentive to keep up.
Well, every show gets pushed back one except DBZ.
Inuyasha: The Final Act: June 13th
Kill La Kill: July 25th
Sword Art Online II: September 12th
Attack On Titan: September 19th
Dragon Ball Z Kai: ~2018
Naruto Shippuden: AHAHAHA....
One Piece: ....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(note I had July 25th listed here for KLK before, but I thought there were 25 episodes, but I guess there's 24 + a special? So, actually July 25th now)
The "special" episode is basically just the Blu-ray only episode 25. It's the "true" finale/epilogue.
Curious to see whether it gets included in the broadcast package or not. I'd lean towards no, but Adult Swim DID get the DVD only episodes of Durarara!! from Aniplex in the past, so who knows.
