I think Vortexx buys it like a syndcation package so that they "own" the version of the episodes they air. They must have paid quite a sum.

Nicktoons...now that's the tough one to answer.

As much money as it takes to fund Rick Santorum's crappy Christian film projects.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I'm not sure they actually make any money. I heard that Viz pays Cartoon Network for air time, and ultimately what they're paying for is the exposure of their shows to a wider audience than preaching-to-the-choir anime-centered streaming sites. Logic would dictate FUNimation does the same thing with One Piece and FMA and others, and perhaps on other networks as well.

Of course, there may not be any truth to what I just said so why did I even post at all?! :thumbup:

Nope! Actually, Viz shows are so expensive that they avoid to air them too much. That's why Tiger and Bunny hasnt come to Toonami.

I think Funi gets most of their money from DVD sales then ratings. They got a lot of money in the late 90's and early 2000's because DBZ was much bigger back then. Kids bought the show on VHS, DVD, t-shirts and the toys. Kai only has DVD's and Blu-Rays, Funi only seem to market their shows for teenagers and young adults.
