Uncut anime could die on American television if people keep illegally watching their favorite series subbed on sites because they screech about how "terrible" dubs are...Most dubs are amazing...With the exception of anime like Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh...Even I admit those dubs are bad. I can't stand the Pokemon dub to the point that I absolutely have to resort to fansubs...I would import the series but for one thing..Japan doesn't have the full series in sets, and for two...They don't have subs on the discs that ARE out there, even the movies don't have them and I know because I have "Mew and the Hero of the Wave: Lucario" and "The Ruler of Illusions: Zoroark" on legit DVDs from Japan and there are NO English subs. The Pokemon Company refuses to give us legal access to the Japanese episodes with subs despite people complaining how they want them. So if I want to watch them subbed I have to download fansubs and due to the rules I will NOT link anyone to the tracker. You will have to find that out yourselves. I know you may say "Well..You are a hypocrite!" No I am not...I may not like the Pokemon dub but I DO support the franchise and I DO support other companies by buying their series and other merch. The people who complain about dubs do not for the most part but some do.
Some of my all time favorite dubs are: Naruto/Shippuden, Wolf's Rain, Yu Yu Hakusho, and the Funimation DB/DBZ dubs. {Edit}: For starters don't call people weebos, weebs, or any other derogatory term. We do not look kindly on people insulting others here. Secondly, if you're going to say people should not watch illegal streams or downloads it would be helpful if you did not mention the sites where people can go find them at. I edited the insults and illegal site names from your post.~ Psycho 101 |

This news doesn't really change much of anything, I wouldn't even call it news... Now, if Toonami went back to daily airings, that would be something worth a news story. I really doubt that will ever be the case.

I wish daytime CN had an anime, or at least an action block.
Toonami was the gateway to anime for a lot of people growing up, kids today don't really have that. I wouldn't even mind censorship because in this day and age, it's not like it's the only version legally available. |

Digimon Adventure and Wolf's Rain share a lot of their voice actors. I always cite Wolf's Rain as the all-time best anime dub, but Digimon is not far behind; it's one of the more natural sounding dubs out there, which is pretty incredible considering it aired 15 years ago when most dubs sounded pretty corny. |

If you're talking about stuff like Squidbillies and 12 Oz. Mouse, those are done with little to no budget, and they remain on the air because it means commercial slots are cheap. They end only when the creators want to end. (They might take a hit on productivity now that C. Martin Croker is gone though.) Stuff like The Venture Bros. and Rick and Morty are also Adult Swim original programming though, and those are fantastic. They just aren't in-house. |

I don't know what they'd stand to gain from this considering 1. It's an old anime 2. It's a somewhat long anime 3. It didn't work when it was on Adult Swim.
Anime is already not that terribly popular in this states this doesn't hurt as much as you think. It's not like if they stop doing this (which they don't only do because of the dubs themselves). That's going to change things drastically.
Yu-Gi-Oh's english is dub fine minus the unnecessary changes, Jounouchi's accent, and edits, Pokemon's dub was fine up until they jettisoned the original voice actors. |

CN always change their line up during the fall. The Fall is when CN has new seasons for their shows like Regular Show and Adventure Time. Regular Show is ending this year, so they want to use that extra hour for ratings.

Yup. It'd be cool if they'd taken back that 3:30-4 slot too during this shift.
My thoughts as well. Atleast we're not losing time this time and Toonami's still the same length, and it appears the ratings were good so it wasn't due to Toonami that the push back occurred but AS itself getting pushed an hour. And maybe if AS indeed gets back 8pm eventually then Toonami will shift back up again. Perhaps coinciding with a big show premiere. |

Digimon is not a good dub in any objective sense. Wolf's Rain has a solid dub, but it isn't anything close to Animaze's best, let alone THE best. |

I predict Toonami will be cancelled again and Adult Swim will cease as a block leaving it as a live streaming only channel. This is definitely due to a majority of cord cutters viewing shows on their mobile devices.

I doubt it. Toonami's the only major competitor to Saturday Night Live. There are still plenty of people who watch TV normally, and Toonami continues to get 7-digit viewer numbers. |

Toonami might be cancelled again, but that will not mean the death of Adult Swim, They will continue to create more original cheap productions that they have before. And haven't they said that their cheap crappy productions usually out perform anime shown on Adult Swim. Yes, there are people who watch TV shows on their tiny and not so tiny mobile devices, but I find it hard to believe that makes up the majority of of the viewing population. I have Guardians of the Galaxy on my Kindle which is 7", and still I would prefer to see it in all its glory on a big screen TV. |
