Cartoon Network to make Action Shows and Anime Anonymous 08/12/2021 (Thu) 18:02:16 No. 16703
https://web.archive.org/web/20210811212218if_/https://deadline.com/2021/08/jason-demarco-named-svp-anime-action-series-longform-for-warner-bros-animation-cartoon-network-studios-1234812006/ >Adult Swim’s Jason DeMarco has taken on a newly expanded role at Warner Bros. The veteran creative executive has been named SVP Anime & Action Series/Longform for Warner Bros Animation and Cartoon Network Studios. >In his newly created dual role, DeMarco will spearhead WBA and CNS’ expansion into producing anime content. He also will be responsible for identifying and developing projects in the animated action genre to develop and produce series and longform programming for all audiences. Among his first projects, DeMarco will serve as the lead creative executive on The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the upcoming original anime feature film directed by Kenji Kamiyama and produced by New Line Cinema and WBA. >DeMarco also will continue his role as SVP, Head of Anime and Action Series, at Adult Swim. He will report to Sam Register, President of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, and Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim. >DeMarco has been with Adult Swim and Cartoon Network for more than 20 years, beginning as a senior writer-producer and rising through the ranks of the on-air, marketing and promotions teams. He co-created the Toonami programming block and has managed the brand throughout its nearly 25-year history. >“I got into this business because I love action cartoons and storytelling,” DeMarco said. “Being able to work in anime and action development, two areas of animation I care about deeply, is a dream come true.” Look like cartoon network is dipping their toes into making action shows again, can't wait for them to fuck it up with schedule shifts and no advertising. What really concerns me is that they say they're making anime which pisses me off since I hate when netflix claims their 20fps woke cartoon series they made in america is anime and now CN is doing it too.
Apparently it's going to be actual anime. https://archive.is/1JTnV Not the first time Cartoon Network has funded and had some creative control over anime (Big O season 2 is the obvious example), but that was all long before woke infestation.
>>16703 There's already CN thread >>8049 <action shows and anime They rather call it anything else but cartoon...sigh. >directed by Kenji Kamiyama I wonder how many of their other "anime" will actually be anime too...
It'll just be more woke shit, and it's really just another attempt to censor and control anime, which more and more kids are turning to because western entertainment has become woke pozzed shit. It is not going to be actual anime, not as long as an American with American ideals is dictating what can and can't be written and shown.
>>16705 >There's already CN thread Two different topics plus its news, this thread is fine.
>>16706 >It is not going to be actual anime >pics related Anon I get you're a newfag but at least don't make it obvious. But I do agree current CN is not trustworthy at the moment. Cartoon Network/Toonami all contributed funding with IGPX and Powerpuffgirls being creatively influenced by them.

>>16703 >>16704 >>16709 >Possible Big O season 3 IM GONNA DO IT!
Are the any remotely good action manga that both 1:don't already have an anime 2: Have enough content to sustain ~48-65 episodes? 3: Aren't full of content (like repeated removal of body parts) that would be utterly impossible to air pre-watershed on a major cable channel? All I can think of is Hayate X Blade.
>>16724 Japan doesn't baby their children. Shonen action manga are going to be majority not safe for american children's TV without heavy censorship. See Dragon Ball's entire series, Naruto Shippuden on DisneyXD, & One Piece.
>>16725 That's why I included that caveat. US TV standards have progressed beyond GI Joe's infamous "every destroyed vehicle must have ejections or be identified as drones" (Gundam 79 aired without violence related cuts on Cartoon Network two decades ago so pilots blowing up with mechs are presumably OK), but it still cuts out a lot of action manga out.
>>16726 Exactly the problem. So you'd really have to narrow it down to anime like Precure getting dubbed. Sure it's a violent show but no one gets dismembered or bloodied, to my knowledge. Plus it's been going on since the 90s so there's a lot to pick from.
>>16726 >gundam 79 After 9/11 they marathoned the series rather than air the episodes in a weekly format then never aired it again. They also canceled their plans to air zeta after that.
>>16728 Yeah, but it didn't have violence cuts (infact, I don't even have explicit confirmation the nudity in shower scenes was cut though I've pretty sure it was cut or steamed over) but for a brief hysteria over "war cartoons".

>>16703 > Cartoon Network >Anime HAHAHAHAHA no.
>>16703 Western cartoons used to have cool art-styles, I'd rather more of those ones.
When is Cartoon Network is going to die? they outlived their usefullness a long time ago.
>>16737 Cable TV has been on a downward trend forever & streaming holds kids attention more. It's only a matter of time.
>>16737 >>16738 As soon as boomers die out half their viewership is gone.
>>16709 >previous CN regime projects before the dank days of Tim and Eric Hotter take, this announce is only taking place for a couple of reasons : 1) CN post their live action CN Real trash era has been running on fumes, and Jason Demarco is one of the lucky few that snagged the right connections with his Uzumaki project that somebody in the current WBA yarn knitting mess noticed that he was making "new content", and Demarco said "Well yeah, we'll just use animu studios because they're even cheaper to use today!" 2) This ain't the 70's to 90's anymore, most Japanese companies have a better grasp of their own international anime markets and in some cases some of the more recent purchases such as Crunchyroll being bought out fully by Sony : https://archive.ph/QgVol, means they can't just walk up a be a middle man that can get animu on the cheap for fill in programming anymore. After Sony guts Crunchroll and keeps just the streaming service, and not to mention that more Japanese companies are just thinking to going to simulcast instead (to cut out the San Fran middle men) and HBO Max forcing the shut down of DC Nation, there's still a need to get more content, ANY Content that could be grabbed up by other streaming services. So they need one guy who can fake the funk as it were by using Uzumaki as a proof of concept of later shows they could fund and keep on their own platform.
>>16743 30 year old woke college students aren't boomers.
>>16733 They still have. >>16726 I've been recently watching Generator Rex and that show has a lot of sexy moments between Rex and other girls and also on-screen deaths so if they allowed that back in 2010 I don't see why they couldn't do it nowadays. Symbionic Titan was also a very sexy and violent show.
>>16703 >they're making anime which pisses me off since I hate when netflix claims their 20fps woke cartoon series they made in america is anime 20FPS? Fucking Castlevania wishes it had the budget for animation in ones along the entire japanese animation industry

Ah yes. DeMarco. The guy who uses a beloved icon to push his Twitter politics during last year's riots
>>16703 CN's in-house anime will be on the 4kids level. Possibly, mainly, high school and sword/fantasy themed. They'll shock me if they bring out the mechs with guns in this day and age. >>16744 Lionsgate bought MANGAentertatinment and don't seem to have done much with it.
>>16724 current anime prod. model makes #2 pretty much impossible
>>16751 >Lionsgate bought MANGAentertatinment and don't seem to have done much with it. The difference between say the Lionsgate purchase, is that all they purchased was a translation / dubbing group. Sony by contrast owns large stakes in Animax and Aniplex which are two really big production companies / channels out in Japan, so it's like a direct producer of anime buying up a streaming service just for the streaming infrastructure. Manga could occasionally bankroll projects back in the day, but as they were a middle manager company. That's the difference between the two.
>>16745 >30 year old woke college students aren't boomers. True they aren't boomers, but unlike their previous generations they have next to no income , lots of debt and no money. And rarely kids.
>>16747 >They still have. I wasn't talking about the outliers

>>16709 Something like Space Dandy worked out because WB just threw bunch of money at Japanese, told them to make an anime, and left it at that. As soon as foreigners will influence creative decisions, it is guaranteed to be shit. I am afraid that bland, hollow anime like FLCL 2 and 3 might be the best case scenario.
>>16786 Wasn't talking about the outliers either
>>16799 >space dandy came about because of western money Huh. I'm actually surprised. I liked that show. >main character is so horny and women are sexualized so much that the show cannot be aired in the west without offending our fragile western senses and triggering cunts and karens lel
>>16801 Reminder that sold for $2k.
>>16703 So as things change things remain the same. It's like the 90s & 2000s except with more shit and pozz.
nothing good can come out of this.
>>16875 And fucking Calliou got a new season.
>>18981 I thought it was canceled.
