I think the fact Adult Swim still puts out so much original content when they could probably make more money on an infinite sea of Family Guy reruns is great for us.

What good original content does Adult Swim currently produce that isn't Venture Bros or Rick & Morty? I'm drawing a blank.

He never said good, though.

Mike Tyson Mysteries

And I never said GOOD original content, I just said original content.

Black Jesus is alright
I've heard good things about the Eric Andre Show

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/473463284/cannon-busters-the-animated-series-pilot Well, it's funded but man, if it takes off, pretty sure Toonami would be it's only chance. television-wise.

If Adult Swim contributed to funding this, that would be another original series under Toonami's belt they could rerun indefinitely.

 

[Grexeno]

Maybe someone should shoot a link to DeMarco.

I swear, that Cannon Busters logo looks so familiar to another one, but I can't for the life of me think of the anime or game it reminds me of.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Cross Ange - Episode 15

LOL Is this show serious?

Spoiler

Did they really need a reason for Ange to land face first into Tusk's junk?

Kinda reminds me of Chrono Crusade

You're still watching? I thought everyone dropped that.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This is my fifth time looking at the Cannon Busters kickstarter and I just now noticed LeSean Thomas

Spoiler

is wearing a Bartholomew Kuma t-shirt.

You're still watching? I thought everyone dropped that.

I love a good hatewatch.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I bet One Piece did around 600K

It is, but there is probably some element of cost in there. Most of these shows aren't exactly high budget, so I imagine that balances things out at a certain point.

 

[Jarate]

I hope Toonami comes back to good ratings ;-;

Kill La Kill might be the last bacon of hope

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Yeah, all the live action stuff they crap out is pretty cheap to produce compared to something like Venture, R&M, Mr Pickles, etc

 

[BassForever]

Didn't we have a dip in ratings last year around this time before things slowly began to pick up again?

From saving anime to saving Toonami.

 

[Crocodile]

Yeah Mike Tyson Mysteries has been pretty good so far. I haven't seen enough of Black Jesus to form an opinion on that.

Mike Tyson Mysteries

And I never said GOOD original content, I just said original content.

I mean when somebody is happy of the production of something, "good" is usually assumed

Didn't we have a dip in ratings last year around this time before things slowly began to pick up again?

I want to say yes but Gucci probably has the data on hand so he probably has a better idea.

Last year was also the Dandy premiere so I'm sure that helped compared to now with AoT reruns now leading the block.

I don't like most AS original content, I'm just happy they continue to create lots of new content regardless of what I think of it. I've seen some channels I really like devolve into rerun hells of airing the same shit over and over again producing almost no new content or just producing shitty "reality" tv shows.

 

[Man God]

Say what you will about the quality of their shows but Adult Swim are definitely active content providers.

So Toonami is dead again?

 

[Grexeno]

Toonami had a bad run.

 

[Raxus]

Toonami had a bad run.

I blame everything on Tenchi GXP.

you blame it on what?

This is a fair point.

*Recalls the fate of TechTv*

 

[Man God]

I believe he meant Tenchi Muyo GXP!

The first admitted failure of a show run on the rebooted TOONAMI. Poorly animated, very boring, and when it wasn't boring, it was offensive as all hell.

Producing scripted content gets people to talk more about your channel in general.
Plus there's no expensive licensing fees.M either.

Edit: ratings this week were alright. Hopefully they trend up soon.

I never put it together but Bleach has Fifteen Openings and 30 endings.

I have no idea what you are talking about, Toonami never had a Tenchi show.

 

[Man God]

I'd still rather watch GXP than either Thundercats or Beware the Batman. It's close for BtB, very close.

Oh, Bleach:Hell Verse and the first Shippuden movie are hitting Netflix next month. Never seen Hell Verse, heard it was good. Own the first Shippuden movie (came with the third Wii Naruto fighting game) and it's awful...except the ending is kinda funny.

 

[BatDan]

Classic Toonami did. Those were fun.
But the new one didn't. Oh well.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

January is traditionally a down month for the block; you'll see KLK drive momentum, one big spring month (probably March) and then ridiculously high summer ratings.

Sometimes this thread brings me sadness...at 10:18.

Wait Deadman Wonderland and Bleach BOTH beat TTGL?

 

[UltraGunner]

So Toonami is dead again?

With how many times it died and came back to life it officially qualifies as an X-Men character.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Seems about right.

Eric Andre and all those crazy infomercials.
