The NEW 10 episode season of Samurai Jack begins March 11th at 11:00pm. Apparently our bitching worked because it's no longer going to get fucked by having the Super rerun in front of it.
Trailer https://youtu.be/VSrv_n4tw7w

Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Expected release is late 2017/early 2018.

Last week was another meh week, with Jojo being the big loser of the night and dragging everything else down. Also GitS did shitty just as I has predicted. This week Jojo managed to tighten up the drop from DBZ to a more normal level. Maybe finally having a girl show up got people stick around. But aside from that, pretty much the same as last week. GitS did shitty once again, expect that to be a recurring theme.

Don't follow Toonami ratings much anymore. Does Jojo consistently drop that much from DB's ratings each week?
>>
>>89930905
yes
It's always had mediocre ratings
>>
>>89930905
Last week it was gigantic, this week was more normal. Very few shows directly after DBZ have held most of the DBZ viewers. Dragonbabbies hate anime but lap up Dragonshit with a smile
>>
>>89930895
yes but from what I read on /a/ awhile ago is AS only gave them a bit of funding time to read some updates
>>
>>89930905
Yes, but so does everything. The more significant problem is that the midnight DBZ Kai airing has dropped significantly as well, along with Super not matching Family Guy's numbers at 11:30.

>>
>>89931190
Atleast mines a little more realistic.
>>
>>89931148
Doubtful, and the increase from Super should counteract against minor drops like that. The problem is that Dragon Ball isn't carrying it's weight because Super is split or people are getting fatigued by the excessive amount of it now. They really need to drop one of the Super airings (or move the later one to the end of the night or something) and move Buu kai away from Super.
>>
>>89931270
maybe if they switch the airings and put kai final chapter before super.

you'd be suprised at what minor changes can accomplish.
>>
>>89931356
That could maybe work too, but it could actually make the drop worse as well. (Since Dragon Ball exclusive people who saw the 8PM Super could now leave at midnight instead of 12:30.)
>>
>>89931229
It really isn't at all. The answer is simple, people are just getting bored with the block. It's been almost 5 years now. The novelty is long gone, and the lineup sucks to boot
>>
>>89931445
Both outcomes are possible.
>>
>>89931092
splitting the Super airing between AS and Toonami is killing both timeslots
>>
>>89931514
Yeah, which is a serious problem that they probably can't solve without hurting Toonami. (Since Toei is probably mandating the 8PM airing to air it at all.)

>>
>>89931399
Also, sandwiching a rerun between the premieres is never a good idea. I know I'm not the only one who just turns the TV on 30 minutes later since Super started and I watch the 8pm showing. Since the original Toonamo intros are long dead there is nothing lost from doing that. If they put a rerun in the middle id probably skip more

Keep telling yourself that. We've yet to have an anime on AS or Toonami pulled since Inuyasha years over a decade ago.
>>
>>89931445
>>89931487
A third factor to consider, we should probably take a look at how the ratings for the rest of Adult Swim have changed over the last five years. There may not be as many casual Adult Swim viewers in general anymore to stumble upon Toonami as there once was.

That's obviously not a direct excuse for the block's performance, but it's a valid factor.

In an ideal world she would already have done so.

>>89932112
Since the long-runner experiment crashed and burned maybe we'll get that again. If anyone remembers the Q&A they did for the 100th preflight they said they were aware of the complaints for the lack of short shows and said they had "plans". Might have been suit talk to take the heat off but I'm interested to see what they meant by that.
>>
>>89932100
Anon, be real. slice of life/moe anime has almost never been successful in the US. Like, one might sell moderately well if it becomes a meme like K-On or Lucky Star, but generally the audience is really small here in comparison to action-oriented shows, even more-so if we're looking for the rare SoL/moe fan who watches the dubs of those shows.

If they were to air one, it'd be far more likely to backfire and do 600k numbers than turn the whole block around.
>>
>>89932043
It wouldn't be pulled mid season but Demarco said himself P3 is guaranteed
>>
>>89932531
It's obviously suit talk. There is literally no options on the table without pulling shows. And we know they won't do that unless one pulls abysmal numbers

When was the 100th preflight again?

Demarco loves OP too much to let it go but if this is real and not just suit talk then OP will most certainly be the first thing they pull

Let's break down the schedule
>6 long runners
>until we hear otherwise a dedicated Gundam slot, but still the only short slot at the moment
>a rerun
>coming soon Jack expansion which probably won't be permanent

It's hard to convince anyone there will be change when the whole thing is locked down tight with no visible ways to free it up. The only thing I could see them doing is giving Jojo a break and putting something else for a rotation. Which I doubt will happen, and even if it did it's only a temporary solution since Jojo would come back eventually
>>
Would ratings be better, if Toonami aired in the middle of the week, instead of a weeknight?
>>
Glad to see One Piece cucks have finally died down about their show.

>>89933684
still no
People have shit to do tomorrow
Toonami gave us a reason to stay up late during the weeknights, but now it's nothing to look forward too. It's boring and it's shit we can go to the internet for instead of waiting each day to tune into

Honestly Toonami doesn't have a place on TV much anymore and has been coasting off it's previous success from back when it was still cool and fun

>>
>>89933848
HxH is an actual world dub premiere, which is what Toonami should aim for if they HAVE to air a long-runner. Shippuden and One Piece aren't, they're years behind where the dubs are on DVD (specifically 4 1/2 years and 2 1/2 years respectively), so those should be the first to go if they need space.

I think we can all finally agree that ASA is how late nights should've remained as, and that bringing back Toonami was a mistake?
>>
>>89934415
I'm pretty sure even with the mediocre ratings Toonami's still getting better ratings than ASA was.
Besides, without Toonami we wouldn't gotten to experience things like Space Dandy, SAO, and all the other shows that made this place fun before.
>>
>>89934398
They should have just kept this as a midnight block but it's nice to know they're thinking of their veteran fans
It's just a shame though
>>
>>89934484
I dom't mean from a ratings sense but from a show sense. Most of what came on ASA is better than most of what Toonami has brought.
>>
>>89934415
mistakes can be fun and lead to great things.
>>
>>89934415
ASA was on its death bed when Toonami came back. The last show they premiered, Durarara, had abysmal ratings. If Toonami hadn't replaced it, at the absolute latest, Adult Swim would've kept the lights on for anime until Bleach ended, then flushed it all down the drain.

There was no saving ASA.
>>
>>89934651
I remember durarrara, i found it quite interesting.
>>
>>89934134
Used to be for fun and novelty. Live threads used to actually be decent. Was something to look forward to each week, even though I could just stream any show on the block in a week.

Anymore I feel like I'm just forcing myself, I don't really care for a single show on the lineup. More than likely will call it quits after Jack because that is gonna be the high point of the year
>>
>>89934563
>>89934415
No, if ASA stayed, anime on AS would have been gone before 2012 ended. The issue we have is Toonami was TOO successful. If it would have stayed mediocre but better than ASA, we probably could have kept the good shows, rather than all the mainstream shit we get now to prop the numbers up
>>
>>89934651
Actually in a Q&A they did way back Demarco said had the Toonami project not been successful in fixing ASA that Bleach would have been dropped too.

ASA was pretty dead before Toonami came on. Had it not been for Toonami [as] would have just stopped airing anime all together by now.
Pic related, this was the ASA schedule a few months before Toonami.
>>
>>89934741
This. What we had happen with Toonami is what regular AS had happen with Seth shows. Family Guy and friends brought crazy numbers, but those became the new expectation for every night. Since their originals can't perform at Seth levels, they are forced to fill their schedules with Seth

>>89936744
I mean ASA was fine if you were a casual viewer and you just wanted to watch a rerun of FLCL or Code Geass or something. But NuToonami's been firmly committed to showing a lot more new shows, I'm not sure how anybody can complain about that without admitting that their vision for a western anime block is extremely arbitrary and unrealistic.

>>
>>89938613
how many times are you guys going to say this?
>>
>>89933421
There's nothing that requires them to air future seasons of Jojo at all.

People keep assuming they will but the only official line we've gotten on it is that whether Toonami airs anything past the end of Part 2 depends on ratings.
>>
>>89939006
Until it comes true. In his defense, he may actually be right, that's a solid 4-5 years away at best
>>
>>89939249
Never said there was. But cheap as fuck Demarco will jump right in because it's easy and he doesn't have to spend as much.

The way I see it is if One Piece has been able to get trash ratings for years and not get pulled, Jojo is going straight to part 3

GitS is just there to tie-in with the stupid movie. Except it to get abruptly pulled from the block after the movie's been out for a month or so. Sooner if it doesn't do well at the box office.

Hopefully they replace it with something dandy.

Is it going to be like Space Dandy where the English dub was released before the Japanese one?
Not sure how I'd feel about that desu.

Pretty sure Stardust Crusaders is going to be the more expensive thing to air. It's been in dub limbo for years because lolCrunchyroll.

>>89930489
I can't really blame Jojo for pulling everything down. It's coming after Dragon Ball. I'm willing to bet my left nut there's hundreds of people tuning in to JUST dragonball to tickle their nostalgia and then leaving when literally anything else comes on. I'm almost confident even something like Space Dandy would still have a drop off (maybe just not as significant of one)
>>
>>89944308
Space Dandy's dropoff wasn't significant because it was followed by Bleach.
>>
>>89936626
I think most friends I try to show Jojo all agree it's pretty gay looking and it's hard to get them to get past that. Except my friend who IS gay who said he just doesn't like the art style.

I'm saying if Space Dandy were to theoretically follow Dragon Ball.

saw your thread from the front board page, and decided to check it out.

they're really going to do new seasons of FLCL? for what fucking purpose?
>>
>>89944519
Officially, because they wanted more episodes.
>>
>>89944648
huh, alright.

so we're looking at what, twelve more episodes on top of the original six?

I dunno if I like that. is it gonna be done by the same team who did the original? haven't watched toonami/anime in forever, not sure how this business handles reboots.
>>
>>89944681
Not Really? It's not gonna be made by gainax but instead by Production IG, who I think produced it? I think the creator is coming back but i don't know much beyond that.

Why would anyone watch Toonami in this day and age? It made sense like 10 years ago back when the idea of torrenting anime was still relatively unknown and there weren't a flood of official streaming sites that have episodes up within hours of Japan.

I was making the point that it doesn't seem like a Toonami thing, by suggesting that something highly improbable would be much more likely.

>>89962182
I figured if Jack does well they'd keep the slot to either show new shows, or keep it and reorganize the schedule so the DB power-hour starts early and show new shows after it.

I'm assuming the current Gundam slot will remain Gundam-related in the future, but maybe it'll change if Unicorn does poorly overall.

No that's only the memers who care about it. The DBZfags who make up the bulk of this block's viewers don't care.
>>
>>89962989
The creative team is almost totally different though. Production I.G. are no slouches when it comes to animation, but the original FLCL had some incredibly talented animators from Gainax working on it who had very distinct styles. Hiroyuki Imaishi, Yoh Yoshinari, Tadashi Hiramatsu, and of course Hideaki Anno himself all worked on it as storyboarders, directors, and key animators. Those are so fucking huge shoes to fill even for Production I.G.

>>
>>89965366
>>89965628
In a way, I'm almost more hype for the sequels than Jack finally getting an ending.

I desperately need to see if they'll stand on their own as worthwhile entries or just piss on everything that made the original so memorable.
>>
>>89965963
So far the only commonalities I'm seeing are it will have a pillows sound track and it's called FLCL. When you have a different writer, director, and different animation team you're not getting the same product.

Personally I really doubt they will and just see this as a big nostalgia cash grab attempt. I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but there is just too much staff wise that won't be the same for me to believe it can happen.

And as others have said, FLCL was one of few series that was done, it didn't need more episodes despite its very short episode count. I just don't see how they are gonna squeeze more out without it seeming forced
>>
>>89948299
Diebuster had great talent behind it though. The new FLCL has the director of Psycho Pass (who doesn't have a unique enough style to work for FLCL) and a guy who writes live action dramas.

Better pray to god they get the BD version because the TV version was censored beyond belief. Like 80% of the screen black during some parts.

Maybe if they got it while it was still a thing. Tumblr already forgot about it and everything is about Jojo and Re:Zero now. Plus I think after Jojo Demarco has learned his lesson about chasing tumblr fads.

Phantom Blood ended a while ago, they're well into Battle Tendency, the Hamon training arc part of it.

>>89980579
I'd say 2019 at the earliest if Toonami is even still around by then. OPM's second season was confirmed to be happening, but they haven't made any announcements regarding when production starts. Which means we may not see OPM s2 until 2018 at the earliest. So my 2019 estimate is really generous.

Toonami is 20 years old as of this year.

It's not going away. It's practically an institution at this point. So long as Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are around, it'll be alive in some capacity.

Someone give this to me straight. I'm not really familiar with tv ratings as a whole, but isn't more than a million really, really good for a show after midnight? What kind of ratings does Adult swim get on Friday and Sunday? What kind of ratings does @midnite on CC get? What about HBO or FX?
>>
>>89980574
>>89980630
Very rude
>>89980863
Thats cool. If only i didnt avoid trying to watch dubs.
>>
>>89981150
HBO doesn't rely on ratings, they're a subscription service. But mainly it's because Toonami's ratings have fallen steadily over the last couple years and the block has stagnated hard. 2 years ago I scoffed at doomsayers, but situation has changed and the block is in a downward momentum now. I'm hoping Jack can breathe some life into it and pray to god Demarco comes to his senses by 2018 and cancels a couple of the longrunning series to get more new shows.
>>
>>89981150
Sometimes Toonami beats out stuff that airs on primetime CN.

People are always fear-mongering out Toonami's potential death. The thing is though, it's been alive longer than it's been dead at this point. Its 20th anniversary is this year, and we've got several pieces of original programming coming down the pipeline. Shit, the block is even diversifying with having stuff like original comics.

It's not dying any time soon.
>>
>>89981224
The dub is pretty bad. And not even the "so bad it's funny" kind of bad, just the obnoxious to listen to kind. Cause they got the brilliant idea they should have all the main characters speak in awful fake accents based on the time and place even if they can't make a convincing one to save their lives. So we have Bryce Papenbrook doing what is possible the worst, laziest Italian accent I've ever heard for Caesar.
>>
>>89981231
>the block is in a downward momentum

I have never, in any of these threads, seen people claim that the block's been in an "upward" momentum. We're always seemingly on the brink of death.

Meanwhile, in the time since it came back, I graduated high school ,and am gonna be starting to work on a fucking master's degree soon.

I like the cheesy voices, and I do think it falls into the "so bad it's funny" range.

I mean you've got fucking Numbuh 1 voice Joseph. They knew what they were doing.
>>
>>89981440
It's just terrible because they're trying so hard with the accents they can't read any of the lines properly. Sacrificing good acting for shitty accents is not a good dub. I'd donate money to get this redubbed properly.
>>
>>89980645
>female protag

This is what people want, the lack of waifus right now is infuriating. It's got plenty of action, second season not so much. It's not my first choice but it's an improvement over the current state of affairs
>>
>>89980952
Yea, and it was an outdated medium in 2012. You aren't wrong, it won't die till TV as a whole does, but it's final form is just gonna be an hour of DBZ/Super
>>
>>89981467
I don't know anon. I doubt Joseph's VA is trying too hard to do the voice, since it's literally 1:1 with his Numbuh 1 voice, and he played that character for years.

They're intentionally trying to make it all sound over the top, which, I mean I'm not gonna fault anyone for disliking it, but I think it works.
>>
>>89981509
Meanwhile we gained a half hour back with Super, and are gaining another with Jack?

TV as a whole likely isn't gonna stat the way it is, you're right, but I've been hearing people say Toonami is doomed for literally half a decade at this point.
>>
>>89981334
In 2013-2014 people were pretty optimistic with the diverse and frequent pickups as well as world premier of Dandy.

I'm not saying it's gonna die soon, because it won't, but you are blind if you can't see things have been steadily declining ever since they grabbed HxH and started the long runner abuse.

We're also getting a mini-series from production I.G., so that's three shows waiting in the wings.

I don't know how exactly people can claim things are in the decline when triple the amount of original programming is coming this way soon compared to the entirety of the previous 20 years of its lifetime.

Jojo is garbage, but the fun the VAs have with it makes it a little more bearable. Think of the Yugioh dub. The series itself really isn't that great, but the dub VAs spice it up a bit and make it watchable
>>
>>89981704
Yeah, original programming is significant.

I really don't know why I bother with you people. It's literally been the same attitude for five years. We've been on a decline since 2014? Meanwhile all these shows have been announced, we got two TIEs, multiple comic books, and a couple of albums.

It's been back longer than it's been dead, and the 20th anniversary is literally next month, but I guess it's still all doom and gloom?

Again you are putting the hopes of the entire block on a handful of shows. Two of which we have absolutely no further info on, and one of them isn't even really a full series.

I'm hype as fuck for Jack, but I'm not delusional enough to think Jack is gonna banish the evil that is bad ratings for the rest of the lineup that people are tired of.
>>
>>89981821
>massive fanbase means it good

Well I better go pick up SAO, AoT and Naruto since they are top shelf anime by your standards
>>
>>89981824
I'm not putting all my hopes on these shows, because I don't think the ratings we're getting are the worst. Are they the best? No, but nothing's pulling sub-500, which usually is the worrying point for a show.

Having original programming is just going to bolster things.

No, I meant people were notably optimistic in the 2013-2014 days. The notable decline in quality didn't start till mid 2016 or so.

I'll be glad when Jack finally starts and we have physical proof that it's not a magic block fixing wand that everyone seems to think it will be
>>
>>89981921
I'm not claiming it's going to magically fix things. I'm saying there really isn't all that much that's broken.

Yeah, we're got a few long-runners, and that's not always the best, but there's nothing to get terrified over.
>>
>>89981880
You are right, at this current moment things are ok and not cause for immediate concern. But we can see those numbers have been gradually slipping for the past year or so. Things are ok today, but the trends says that won't last.

We went a very long time without shows going under 600k, and now we are 2 weeks in a row with two dipping into the 500k area. And I have a good feeling next week will be the same

I personally think dub Joseph is perfect. Captures the character without forcing the accent too hard. It's not Sugita, but it's not trying to be. It sounds like what the character actually WOULD sound like, since he's British. If you need proof of how good he is for the role, just wait for his delivery on "NIIIIICE". It's flawless.

Von Stroheim sounds like he's trying to be comically silly with his accent, 4kids-tier German voice. I honestly think it works when he's yelling and screaming about the motherland while "Sangriento" (If/When Part 4 gets dubbed we're gonna have a fun time with the translations) is inside his leg.

Bryce as Caesar just sucks, though. My regular Toonami viewing party spends roughly half of JoJo laughing at it. Whoever told him he could fake an Italian accent was pulling a big joke on him.

Lisa Lisa seems fine. Her accent seems a lot more muted than the rest of the cast.

The Pillar Men are all varying levels of quality. Kars only lands a line half the time, Esidesi kinda sucks, and Wamuu is legit great and the second best performance after Joseph.
>>

>>
>>89981977

Besides steadily losing viewers and stagnating the schedule? Majority of the block is locked down and unchanging, it's just plain unappetizing and that's why Toonami only loses more and more viewers every season now.
>>
>>89981796
Her nips are super hard.

Yeah, it was neat. Always had a different vibe to it than everything else on the block. I wish that tall brown French qt had more than like 3 minutes of screentime and 2 lines of dialogue, FUCK.

IMO TV as we know it won't last to 2020. Big changes will be coming these next few years to stay competitive with things like Netflix. But that's a topic for another thread.

Again, I'm not saying Toonami is done for, but if we keep ignoring the slow bleed of viewers on everything but DB, another cut will be here before we know it
>>
>>89982262
Summer has always gotten better ratings than the rest of the year. You can chalk that up to the shows (Attack on Titan, One-Punch Man, Sword Art Online), but the fact of the matter is ratings are higher in those months.

How? It was nonsensical edgy garbage. It sped right past laughably bad into physically painful to watch half the time, as well.

This would be a good excuse for a show with good waifus. Only 3 were remotely good (Cat, Leader with the eyepatch, and Esdeath), with the former having a shit death, the middle barely having any character other than being steadfast and shooting down the green hair guy a lot, and the latter being sadistic to an extreme degree (although Takumi or whatever his name was turning down her advances when she would probably be gentle with him if he wanted AND would probably defect for him was fucking stupid).

Then the absolutely worst girl won somehow and died anyway because whatever people die all over the place in this show, but she died after several more likable characters and had a death scene meant to be sadder than most others when she was unlikable. Also her weapon was pants-on-head retarded.

In case anyone is curious, since it's come up a few times, here's the anime Adult Swim still has rights to that aren't airing on Toonami presently
>Attack on Titan
>Big O II
>Cowboy Bebop
>Dimension W
>Gundam IBO
>One-Punch Man
>Samurai Champloo
>Sword Art Online II

All of them are available on-demand except for Big O II (which, while not available, we know they have perpetual rights to). It's not clear if they still have Space Dandy, even though they supposedly got rights for "a long long time" (though not perpetual) for putting money towards it. They probably also still have access to IGPX.

The Toriko wasn't even interesting, and the fact it was being associated with One Piece and DBZ so strongly made a bad taste in everyone's mouths since it looked like it was mooching off their popularity.
>>
>>90006802
If Toriko was actually good nobody would have cared about that. The reason why people thought of it as mooching is because it was so bland and forgettable. It stuck out like a sore thumb alongside the likes of Dragon Ball and Naruto and One Piece, all of which are actually very popular series. It became apparent that Jump was forcing Toriko hard to try and prop it up as a new pillar to the magazine to replace Bleach, which had fallen out of favor.

So pretty much all crap. I would assume DW and Gundam have 2 year contracts, so they will be moving out eventually. Since KLK expired and SAO2 was picked up shortly after, I'd say SAO2 should be expiring in the next few months

Bullshit, you OPfags spammed all night last week that tonight was the night for feels, get your tissues etc. And it was all bullshit, forced drama for skeleton face by associating him with some whale written in at the last second no one cares about.

sing along?

People forgot how long the flashback was, tomorrow's episode is where everything gets depressing as per the end of last week's episode and what we know about Brook to this point.

>>90007225
Yeah, sing along. The lyrics to a song as shown on screen in Japanese at least, but it's yet to be seen if they'll be translated for the TV airing.
>>
>>90007549
This sounds like an even worse episode.
>>
>>90007225
Bink's Sake I assume.
>>
>>90007549
And still, no one cares about this fucking whale. We already know skeleton heads crew got a one way ticket to #rektcity, what more could happen?

And let's not forget the best part, we get to sit through 5-7 minutes of the crap from last week this week

Joseph, Wamuu, and sometimes Kars are absolutely incredible though, and the rest is either passable or hilariously bad. Hardly a poor dub if you're just casually watching it via Toonami with the thread, friends, or both.

I'm honestly really sad by the whole situation. Unicorn is gold, and it's so great to see the UC Gundam timeline back on Toonami.

I want to blame normies, but deep down I know that Unicorn was something that really only fans of Gundam could really enjoy fully.
>>
>>90013908
"its a phenomena in japan"
>>
>>90013908
You cannot get more normie-mecha than Gundam, I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
>>
we made it to satuday.
>>
>>90014535
Mostly because most of the complaints I've seen have been "too much talking, not enough robot fighting" and the like.

>more normie-mecha than Gundam
I guess you've never heard of Evangelion or Gurren Lagann

Once GitS is dumped after it's movie hits theaters and bombs, Bleach should be reaired.

Wow it's almost like Gundam isn't popular in the west like everyone said it wasn't.

As a bonus, Unicorn is boring as shit and the callbacks to other series can't be appreciated without having watched them. So most of the casual audience

When is Korra going to play on Toonami?

>>90016313
Toonami will never air shows owned by another network.

Reminder that other networks don't own anime, even if they may have aired it at some point

But WB didn't die.

>>90016773
Normies didn't know about it because it had absolutely zero promotion, and fans didn't want it because it was DVD-only with dubtitles for the Japanese track. Not even joking.

Not him but while Bleach is dumb, it's fun

>>90013908
Gundam was popular over here 15 years ago for a brief period with Wing, but none of the other Gundam series aired here captured the same audience and it fell back into obscurity for the most part.
>>
>>89982739
Yes and no. The biggest things keeping cable TV going are the continued success of The Walking Dead and Big Bang Theory, along with WWE being a live event that is aired. Networks will probably shift more towards live content (Fox did a live production of Grease that was a big hit). As it is now, more TV is being made than ever with so many channels and networks. Only problem is out of the thousands and thousands of shows pitched each year, only a small amount make it to pilot, only a handful move from there to series, and the overwhelming majority are cancelled during their first season.

HBO/Showtime don't really have to worry because they usually have shows with a solid amount of pull.

Toonami benefits from having brand name awareness, but will always be second banana to Crunchyroll or whatever on-demand services offered for anime these day.

Radical changes coming by 2020 is a pretty liberal estimate, i'd say another decade or so.
>>
>>90021177
Crunchyroll is a scam and nothing more than a middleman who keeps all the money.

>>90021319
Contrary to what /a/ will tell you, they have to pay licensing fees periodically to keep shows on there on top of paying royalties. The meme of "only imports support the industry" is dumb. They use CR or other American companies because the Japanese don't know dick about American markets. Remember Bandai? Or Cloverway? Yeah.
