Sure i'm getting pretty nostalgic right now, but i'm not into the 2012 toonami hype these people are doing, dancing around like monkeys seeing the animes that they can stream easily on any website they can find.
It's NEW content for something people enjoyed versus what was happening on Adult Swim, which was either generic, cheap schlock like Kekkaishi or 'original' shows like Loiter Squad. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's a shot at something better. Now either help it grow or don't, but I don't understand your hate for it.
I don't hate it, it's just not the same.
❝ Nothing ever stays the same. All things change for worse or better. Toonami was brought back hastily so they had to scrounge up what they could for a line-up. When you automatically shut it down with no support it won't have a chance to get better. Cartoon Network will monitor how Toonami goes. If it goes bad they will cancel it again but if it goes good chances are they will fight to get better shows and the rights too them. ❞
Yeah, i'v heard that Toonami has no budget at all at the moment. I'm fine with the shows and the line up, i'm not bashing them. Just the time. I want the new generation to experience what i experience when i was growing up as a child, coming back from school and seeing
miguzi then you see the spaceship and T.O.M afterwards.
❝ Well that's never going to happen. We're no longer small children. As children we're far easier impressed. And we gotta face the fact that the Adult Swim people hate us. By us I mean anime fans. If it were up to Adult Swim they wouldn't air any anime and only those crap shows they make like Delocated. That's why Toonami was canceled. Because Adult Swim didn't want it anymore. They still can't stand the fact that Bleach & FMA get all the views on Saturday. So keeping Toonami will be a challenge since it's aired in Adult Swim air time and Adult Swim is the enemy. Which is weird because I remember when Adult Swim started is was mostly Anime like Gundam 0083, Candidates for Goddess & InuYasha. With a few shows like Space Ghost Cost To Cast & The Brak Show. ❞
You're right, the kids of today only watches Sonny with a chance, icarly, big time rush and all that other garbage. The only thing new that has been cool recently is Adventure time/ regular show. So i guess Toonami demographics is not the anime community, but to the fans that tuned into toonami 4 or more years ago. I'v been watching toonami since i was like 6.
