I think Funimation pitching Dimension W to Toonami shows that they still are gonna rely on TV for exposure for the bigger stuff (or at least the stuff they're most invested in), so hopefully that bodes well for My Hero Academia

Just says "simulcast", not sure if that means the dub will be hitting a few weeks afterwards, though that could be the case?

Though..."Funimation has secured the exclusive international rights to home entertainment, video on demand, merchandise, and broadcast distribution of the series as part of its agreement with Toho Co. Ltd. " BROADCAST DISTRIBUTION!??!

Being W's replacement seems more plausable since Funimation hasn't said anything about the dub yet, just the fact they got the rights for the sub.

Plus simuldubs tend to happen, what, a month to 6 weeks after the show starts airing in Japan? The fact we got Dimension W 6 episodes in would match with MHA since when W ends, it'd be around 5 or 6 episodes in.

There's no question Dragon Ball Z Kai's ratings have been a boon to Toonami overall despite being a reairing of a 5+ year old recut of an anime from many years ago. I would not be too surprised if parties involved here decided to have DBZ Kai -> Buu Arc (2017) -> Dragon Ball Super (2018+) to cement that leadoff Toonami slot for the next several years. A part of me thinks it would be in FUNi's best interest to start streaming Super as soon as possible, but maybe Toonami's, er, influence regarding DBZ is too stronk.

There's that news about Dragon Ball Super airing in Asia in English this year though, which is interesting.

Also, have we heard much about Attack on Titan season 2?

DeMarco did travel to Japan recently and visited Sunrise on the way (maybe just as a fan). I saw that some English voice actors (Stephanie Sheh) also visited Sunrise recently. Who knows.

It'll become the Toonamimation block.

I highly doubt Toonami is influential enough, even with Adult Swim's backing, to affect the dubbing of Dragonball fucking Z.

Attack on Titan S2 is still nebulously this year I think.

Im pretty sure that if America does get Super, it'll be aired on TV on either regular cartoon network, nickelodeon, or disneys channel. DBZ is still a huge property here

Most arguments as to why "FUNI IS THE SHIT LOLZ" make no sense.

"Their player is so fucking bad!"

Works better than Crunchyroll's. Only notable flaw is very dark scenes.

"Terrible for people outside of the US!"

Welcome to literally every streaming site ever.

"Their subs are awful!"

Receipts pls.

Funi has better VAs than the vast majority of people and their prices are a fraction of everyone elses

Therefore, funi can get anything, I really don't care.

Their player works fine for me, and if the box has some mild packaging error, again, I'd rather have the first print be screwed up or with some extremely minor errors for $20 than $80 anyways.
Then again, if Aniplex sold the TTGL box sets for a fraction of the price with a typo and one incorrectly proportioned scene for 10s vs the original, I'd buy that instead, sorry.

Noticed that as well, which makes me hopeful, though I think broadcast rights are part of any agreement.

Also who the hell would people prefer to get an anime over Funimation, maybe excluding Aniplex (which then means expensive as hell BD/DVD sets) & I guess Viz?

I mean, there's only really Funi's Texas talent pool, the Canadian talent pool (what's the last thing they've done?), Sentai's pool of nobodies unfortunate vocal direction, and the LA pool that Aniplex and VIZ use.

Second place out of four isn't much.
