First of all, Toonami cannot get anything from Sentai like Angel Beats, Highschool of the Dead, or Persona 4 because they have confirmed they are not doing business. Plain and simple.
Second, Toonami is not all FUNimation. The only FUNi shows they have on their current schedule are One Piece, Soul Eater, and FMA Brotherhood. That's it! They also have three from Viz (Bleach, Naruto, Inuyasha), two from Sunrise (Cowboy Bebop, Eureka Seven), and two from Cartoon Network (Thundercats, Sym-Bionic Titan). FUNi hardly dominates the block right now. Also, they show action shows because it fits in with their demographic, and is what gets ratings.

Amazon has plenty of hentai manga available for purchase. So does Chapters/Indigo/Coles for that matter. With the latter there won't be any copies in store but you can order them easily enough. I've been purchasing Velvet Kiss myself. Only problem is the release dates for it are all messed up. Digital Manga's site has volume 3 as a May release while other places list it as January 2014... |

I know, but I want to own a physical copy. I read it digitally ages ago
Well, all I can do is pre order it and wait for it to come out eventually... |

Hi Jacob.
I say absolutely not, you're completely wrong. There's typically 8-12 new hentai OVAs every single month of the year. Unless you believe this number is somehow a failure and below where it should be? I'd say it's pretty good and provides some variety, but ground to a halt is the last wording I would choose. I know, you don't pay attention to hentai and don't know better, but some of us do.

The only eromanga I like to read are mostly otokonoko, but it's not like they will ever get licensed, so I'm used to it never being a viable business.
Kinda wish someone would get Candy Paddle's/NemuNemu's stuff, though...I'd kill for a POD book of that. Maybe I should import... |

So are the ratings looking good so far or are there idiots out there still ignoring the fact Toonami exists again and the ratings are low as a result? |

Penguindrum on Toonami?
Yeah, sure, I'm sure that would work on there.

That's why I sent in the question: it doesn't, at all, and that makes no sense to me from a business perspective. Any other night, you get bawdy humor aimed at college age stoners. On Saturdays, you get shonen. Any other night, midnight means Robot Chicken or Superjail (Sundays), but Saturday night it's Bleach. That bears no demographic or feel resemblance to the rest of Adult Swim, and it just makes no sense to me. My whole list was made up of semi-to-fully strange or bawdy comedies aimed close to Adult Swim's age range. They aren't all great, but they're what I'd be putting on Toonami to maintain the Adult Swim brand identity and increase crossover appeal with the normal audience. I suppose the best answer is that they tried it with Shin-Chan and found that, rather than attracting both, it attracted neither. |

Toonami is primarily an action block. A lot of those suggestions have no place on the block. The block is a bit of an anomaly to the rest of Adult Swim, but that was the case when it was on Cartoon Network as well.

If you see how well Bleach and Naurto do in the 18-25 demo then you would change your mind on how they fit the Adult Swim demo. Shonen has shown that they get the numbers. We'llsee how SAO does when it's primarily a love story.

Yeah, they've actually been recommending several of the Project-H manga to me. I wondered why, so I went to their desktop site and found out: it's because I bought Girl Friends. Huh? |

Sounds like a plan, Brian. I haven't played Four Swords yet, though it certainly looks like fun.
Regarding the new Toonami, I've always kind of felt it was mostly a rebranding of Adult Swim's anime night. However, it seems like they're keeping it fresh this time, mostly due to Funimation's willingness to invest in the block (I've always thought Adult Swim's anime block lineup looked like a zombie for years before Toonami came back). I admit that I haven't cared much, though, mostly because I've stopped watching television all together, so I don't really feel qualified to recommend what Toonami should show. Still, I hope that Toonami still does well enough. People are still watching television (obviously), so I don't think it's completely futile to give anime a presence on the networks. |

I am right there with Josh on the game consoles. Though I do have a Wii. I learned my mistake, got it all excite, but I still have less than ten games for it (though at least it makes itself useful with Netflix and Virutal Console as I can now finally play Super Mario RPG). I'm only just now interested in getting a PS3 (I actually already have Sly 4 for it because damn if Sly 1-3 weren't some of my PS2 crack! I kinda want the shiny red God of War PS3, I'd get those games anyway, right?) But I really only decided that I hard core want a PS3 a few months back when Sly 4 came out. It really took that long for the PS3 to put out a system seller for me (I always assumed it would've been God of War III, actually). A younger me also has a 360 nightmare that where we never played the damn thing and was never of any use and we were ashamed we ever got it. The 360 was simply never for me.
Although on handhelds, I tend to be more up to date, I am getting a 3DS for Pokemon because that's a system seller for me. But I also find handhelds are less gimmicky, everyone already doesn't care about the 3D feature (if I can, I plan to permanently turn mine off in the system set up) so actual games need to come out to sell the system. And Pokemon is crack to me. And I still play my DS all the damn time, I just bought Monster Tale for it (played some earlier) and Henry Hatsworth was an incredible $3 to spend on any game. And there's all these cheapo visual novel style games on it and tons of other cheap games under $10 why would I even bother with next gen consoles when my faithful old DS is giving me this much fun without a huge extra cash drop? I play my DS more than anything else and I still have the old original phat model. Play GBA games quite a bit too actually. And recently played Pikmin 2 a few months back with a fever like it was a brand new game and I had to play more because it felt like everyone would be talking about it at school the next day and I didn't want to be left out. So yeah, I'll only go current gen on handhelds, but starting last console gen, waiting on those is now cool with me. I wanna play Four Swords too, one of the few Zelda console games I don't think I've played. My only wish for the Toonami block, show wise, is Steins;Gate. I think it fits the Toonami name and it keeps you coming back week after week for more. And it has a good dub. And since it'd technically be under [as], I don't think there's any part violent enough to edit, it sounds like win-win to me. Oh and Funi owns it, so they could probably set that up. It could only help their DVD/bluray sales if you ask me. And it'd be something newer to show, Samurai 7 was simply ancient (and only so-so imo). But awesome scifi goodness, man! |

Anime was less damaged by piracy and more by an industry that would not support it at all.
