NEWS: New VP at Cartoon Network

Uhh... CN is a television channel, not an anime distributor. They show some anime, but showing anime is not the primary raison d'être of the channel. Ergo, when they're looking to hire for executive positions, they'll look for people within the television industry, not the anime distribution industry, since they want candidates with a lot of experience in the same industry they're in, not people from an entirely different industry that deals with cartoons in a different capacity.

And CN/AS already serves anime fans very well. I doubt you'll ever see a day when they show much more anime than they already do, since anime is reasonably popular but not popular enough to warrant taking away timeslots currently occupied by CN/AS originals and reruns of Fox prime-time cartoons.

Stop using Generalizations....Stop using Generalizations.....

Okay, I have no idea how my comments spawned such misinformation. I would think better of my fellow man. Guess I was wrong.

They could do better. Add a little variety. Spice it up.

What do we get? ...........Ah, let someone else moan about it, not my place to do it.

Whaddya mean, spice it up? I'm guessing you want them to show stuff like yaoi and hentai in addition to the action and sci-fi stuff.

What do we get? ...........Ah, let someone else moan about it, not my place to do it.

What do we get? Awesome anime.

And the only reason you don't want to continue moaning about it is because you know everyone will oppose you, like I am.

What "generalizations"? What "misinformation"? What I said is the straight truth: CN hires people from within the television industry who already know what they'd be doing in the day-to-day operations of running a television cable channel. What sorts of programming they dealt with before coming to CN is largely irrelevant as it's the experience within television that's important. It's not much of a generalization to suggest that most people from within the anime industry would fare poorly if they were placed within an executive position at CN, not because of lack of competence at the job they did before but rather simply because of a lack of relevant experience (and, also, "contacts") within the television industry. It's only a generalization in the sense that a self-evident statement like "Most airline pilots would make poor neurosurgeons." is a generalization.

Having people who would be competent in the position for which they were hired benefits all viewers of CN.

And this benefits us how? Better pull with Anime Companies to get better crap on the air?

Howabout posting your comments outside of quote brackets first? Then i'll start arguing with you.

So where exactly in my post did I say that CN was an anime distributor?

Don't bother, just ignore everything he posts, since he is basically a corporate fluffer-girl. Complete troll.
