This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that I'm arguing facts and you're going off blind faith. I don't know why you think new content created over time as the block has grown (ya know, a natural progression) automatically means Kill La Kill is coming. Aren't you the same person who made the claim Fairy Tail was coming to toonami in the fall and that it was a matter of when, not if? We both know how that blind prediction went.
What part of DeMarco's comments at Momocon do you not understand? He straight up said it would be tough to air. We know CN has a strict policy on excessive nudity/violence/language to protect their family friendly image. I really can't tell if your serious here or just unwilling to see another point of view because you want the show to air so badly.
Using 'Well DeMarco says they listen to fans' is a flimsy argument. If the fans truly dictated programming we'd have 2 hours of original DBZ to kick off the block followed by Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, and G Gundam. What the fans suggest does hold some weight, but it is not the only factor that goes into picking up a show:
Also, please tell me where I said it will NEVER come to toonami? I'm not Nostradamus or Ms Cleo, I can't predict the future and won't pretend to be able to. I've said numerous times that without heavy editing, it probably won't air. I've outlined how a tight budget could prevent them from airing KLK, backed up by DeMarco saying money is the NUMBER ONE deciding factor in whether or not they pick something up. Let's take a look at exactly what I said in my last post:
Is that me saying 'LOL KLK is NEVER coming guys' or am I saying it's unlikely to happen at this time? Please stop putting words in my mouth, I'm not trying to rain on your KLK parade. I'm not a fan of the show but if it's going to make toonami money and allow them to acquire new assets/create additional content, then I'm all for it airing. I can do something else for 30 minutes.
What facts? You have no numbers, how much does it cost to air a show? How much will it cost to air KLK? How much money does Toonami have currently? How much are they earning on Titan/Dandy/etc? How much did SAO/BE cost to air?
We don't know ANY of these things, we can all guess that KLK/Aniplex shows are expensive but we don't know that for sure.
Also
That's your post on the last page, in response to me saying "it's only a matter of time before KLK airs on the block". How else am I supposed to interpret your "it's not coming message" other then you saying "KLK will not air on Toonami" ?
Your "facts" and my "facts" are 100% speculation and reading things into quotes when the only thing that truly matters is the fact things can change. What know for sure is that
1- There is fan demand for KLK
2- DeMarco/Toonami are looking into the show but nudity would be a problem
3- Aniplex has expressed interest in the show airing on Toonami
4- Money is needed to air a show on the block, Toonami has a tight budget, Aniplex shows cost a lot to own on DVD/Blu Ray
5- Fan demand has impact on what shows come to the block in addition to money/cost
Really at after that any conclusions we wish to draw in terms of how likely KLK is to come to the block are not are just pure speculation. I look at everything above and speculate the series has a good chance of coming to Toonami, you look at it and think the opposite.
well, the difference with like Funimation is that they have stuff at reasonable prices. i feel like most of the people who are just hearing about Aniplex shows through Toonami are going to be driven off once they see the price of the DVDs; the people who are actually paying that amount of money are the hardcore fans who probably knew about it long before the dub even existed, let alone aired on TV.
I don't think there is any way for us to know for sure cause AFAIK Aniplex doesn't release the information on their DVD sales. Though I do feel it's safe to say that among the 800-900k people who watch *insert aniplex show here* there are first time fans who will enjoy the show enough to pay the outrageous prices Aniplex asks to own the series on DVD/Blu Ray. Even if it's only a few hundred with the stupid prices Aniplex charges they probably made a worthy investment letting the show air on the block.
Heck I know I'll probably end up buying the bluray/dvd for Blue Exorcist in the future to own it and it's a series I may never have checked out without it airing on Toonami and I feel like I'm a pretty well versed manga/anime fan.
Are we....is BleachGAF gonna be a thing?
Man God isn't canon so at best it'll be a filler thing
