Sean Schemmel confirms Buu Saga dubbing in interview

[Fennekin]

If FUNimation wanted to branch out onto another channel, I'd have to pick [adult swim] over Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network's current target audience is so different to what it was back when they first aired Z.

Adult Swim and Cartoon Network share the same channel. Adult Swim goes on from 8 PM to 5AM Central, the rest is CN. AS needs to give the rest of Saturday to Toonami. Toonami has 11PM-5AM Central, but having 8PM on would give them more of an audience to work with and more slots to air shows. Open Toonami/AS with uncut Kai at 8PM? Ratings Gold man.

I know they operate on the same channel, but they're technically two separate entities. One doesn't advertise shows for the other, and vice-versa. Not to mention their target audiences are completely different. And with Toonami practically being an anime block, Z Kai would fit on [adult swim] much better than on Cartoon Network.

Well, could Kai air on Toonami AND Nicktoons? And the CW?

I don't think so since they probably made their contracts so it could only be on those two channels, which is pretty rare for an anime series now a days.

[Cure Dragon 255]

Actually, you are right,but for different reasons.

An anime has two sets of TV deal Rights, Cable and Broadcast. Nick owns the Cable rights and Saban/Vortexx the broadcast TV rights.

Now I finally know why Z Kai was on two different channels. I'm surprised they don't try to get more anime onto Vortexx then (Like Pokémon since it's currently only on Cartoon Network).

So, if they wanted Kai on Toonami, they'd have to renegotiate it being on Nicktoons, but they could leave it on the Vortexx? Not that bad a deal (and it makes uncut/edited all the more obvious, lol).

[Zenkai]

I think Kai should stay on Nicktoons so that more kids will get into the series.

They were able to air the original Naruto on Adult Swim, didn't Disney pick up the series after CN didn't want Shippuden?
I think the same can happen to dragon ball, but Nicktoons did treat dragon ball fairly.

Maybe Disney just picked up shippuden, if that's the case that's fine but I believe Nicktoons just picked up the entire airing rights for db,z,kai,gt and the movies.

[Big Momma]

Seriously, there are fans of Codename: Kids Next Door? That show was crap.

I know, right? How dare they find entertainment from shows you don't like? Fricking pricks...

/sarcasm

To be honest, I actually disliked CKND at first, too. Later on, though, the show really forms into it's own thing. It has a nice little "world" of it's own. With different sects and groups. A pretty cool idea, and I can see why kids loved it back then (I was entering my teen years while it aired...so my age group would have been the "villains". I didn't usually feel all that welcome while watching it, haha).

I think Disney XD only has the rights to Shippuden, which is why the original Naruto is able to air on Toonami.

I think the charm was that it took what kids tended to hate and made epic adventures out of them (sometimes parodying movies like Alien). It was ridiculous yet cool in its own way like Dragon Ball.

I thought the show was creative and was one of the few CN shows from the 2ks that I sort of liked.

[matt0044]

Hello? Any news?

[WesMan23]

I saw a new post in here thinking that there was some big news, but no. Nothing new as far as I know.

I came for the exact same reason. Thanks a lot for nothing, matt.

[matt0044]

Thanks a lot for nothing, matt.

Sorry. It's not like I trying to troll you or anything. I was hoping someone else had some news and everyone forgot this thread.

IT HAPPENS.

Naruto Shippuden actually got cancelled there and only airs online now lol

But I think Disney XD still holds the TV Broadcast rights.

Nicktoons isn't too bad. I'm more concerned with the OST and how the actors will handle the saga.

I assume they'll handle it like the rest of Kai.
