It broke a million a few times but no not consistently. One Piece definitely is the bigger name of course.
The mans the future of the industry.

It's been good for 3 weeks, go back and read the comments and then look at the ratings

Damn. Toonami should have picked up Samurai Champloo instead of SAO.

This sounds like a massive improvement
It was even though it was confusing as all hell. Also, the Takashei romance is arm gnawingly bad.

SAO's probably going to bring in a lot better ratings than Champloo would.

Remember that the headlining shows that get the ratings are Bleach and Naruto.
EDIT: I'm not saying that Champloo isn't a good show or wouldn't fit Toonami.

Sword Art Online is pretty popular already, and it's a dub premiere. there's no doubt in my mind it would do better than something that was already on Adult Swim and didn't even get great ratings.

SAO is going to do well on Toonami, hate waters will love it and people who've never seen it before will get sucked it like animegaf did.
Why do you hate crunchyroll again? Aside from them starting out as illegal, I can't think of much they've done wrong. Damn kids all over your lawn or something?

Done with the first 7 episodes of Big O (in a lazily fashion)
Very little I remember from the brief scenes that I watched in S2 but I can't remember if it was the bandaged guy or Rosewater who was the big bad.
.
I'm sure I'll get those memories back eventually

And there's the TV studio scenes that I vaguely remember

Sounds like you need a negotiator
I guess I technically already posted about IGPX not totally sucking, and Seda basically took care of the job for me in my absence (thanks, btw), but whatever...

there are a lot of things you can hate them for - how about screwing over the fansubbers that help them cheat the system?
or that youtube issue that brought people over to the site or wait, wait, how about selective prosecution concerning Megaupload?
WAIT WAIT...I know...how about the twitter joke they made about Children's day in Japan...wait wait - how about all the fucking anons bullshiting all over the net since Toonami came back all coming from the same fucking five servers (oh their loaned by Haweii or whatever the fuck they fucking go by)
I can continue son, because im done two stepping with those Berkeley bred motherfuckers! And DeMarco feels the same way. Crunchyroll keeps pussy footing around the whole issue of toonami's return. If they want to dance, these bitches better dance!
Because in the immortal words or Dan Labatard Paraphrasing for dramatic effect: "Hey Demarco: "What you got to say to saban, crunchyroll and the national media?"
"They can kiss my 3 mill a week ass boy"

I have no idea what you're talking about on almost any level dude :X
basiclly crunchyfail cant stand that toonami exists so all those anons that keep asking the same dumb questions in the q&a all come from either arlong park or work in crunchyroll.

Why would cr be impacted at all by anything toonami does? You'd think cr would have a bigger beef with funimation

Wait, where does Arlong Park come into this?
I have the proof but I don't remember the website that stated this...ill go pm one the dudes from anime-gaf.

Yea, I'm so lost, I'm just gonna uh, enjoy my anime, cartoons and Toonami and stuff.
arlong park (fan board) helped crunchy under cut 4kids dub.
still mad because toonami skipped a fuck ton of episodes even though Demarco did it for a reason.
I know what Arlong Park is, I've been a member for 8 years. About mid-way through Water Seven. Oh dear God I feel old...
I think any anons that ask about One Piece are just assholes. I don't think they're AP members.

good thing i speak thundercat.
basiclly crunchroll started as a fan sub site and then sold out to the big companies. making tons of money along the way. nad doing some shady shit. then in 2012 toonami came back with a vengance. this upset crushroll as now they had a legit competitor on prime time tv.
SAO if successful will lead to more deals being cut and curchroll being left in the dust. so apperntly cruchyroll is conpspiiring against toonami in the shadows.
basicly Demarco kicking ass and taking names

Think so. Only explanation I can see. No offense, Novid. Just don't understand where the hate comes from.
I like that Crunchyroll is, for lack of a better term, legit now. It's great to have competition, and its great to have legal streaming sites. I love Toonami as well, and have enjoyed every Saturday since its revival.

Yeah, if Novid's going round claiming that Crunchyroll is going round undermining Toonami over the Sword Art Online deal, despite the fact that SAO was also available on Hulu, a decidedly more direct competitor, then I think we can safely conclude that Novid's a nutjob. It's interesting that Novid has said nothing about Hulu nor Funimation, despite being the biggest and most direct rival to Crunchyroll (with bonus points for Hulu being more popular by virtue of carrying most of what's broadcast on American TV).
To be perfectly blunt, I don't think there's that much of an overlap between Toonami's audience than Crunchyroll's audience. If anything, it's Neon Alley that should be scared, and even then I don't think they care too much.

but ADV worked on the premise that they shared the video tapes with friends (physical to user) where crunchy knew the law was stacked against them (digital to user).

True about the Hulu thing but crunchy got a cut and Hulu was like the 5th largest place one could see SAO Subbed.
I have no problems with Hulu outside of there silly adverts they did years ago because even though the US networks are a bit shady with the 8 day delays (ok, really fucking shady) they been fairer to the genre than Crunchyroll has been...
And Funi despite horrible leadership and DBZ Creep (which the latter isn't such a bad thing) has done ok with the streaming thing.
Its just Crunchy rubs me the wrong way.

It's more I've never seen you claim that Crunchy is undermining Hulu nor Funi (despite being their biggest rivals in the whole simulcasting anime thing), yet Crunchy is somehow the biggest threat to Toonami in your eyes, despite not having much of the way over any overlap (if anything, it's Crunchy users watching Toonami in addition to using Crunchy, not replacing it).
Funi/Crunchy had their spat (but it was like choosing a root canal from a wisdom tooth removal). They pretty much go after the same audience so they cancel each other out. Hulu however is a interesting case - Hulu is bigger by ten times over. Hulu hasn't found any buyers and really was created in the system to compete with what Youtube is doing now along with Netflix. Crunchyroll is no where in the same league.
As for Neon Alley and the other two Japanese sites - Dasuki and Solis - there undercutting Crunchy which in the end is a good thing. There isn't a core "thing" crunchyroll has. And when one is built on a house of sand...well.
