![]() Jason Demarco of Adult Swim even said on twitter a while back that Toei practically begged them to air the show on their block again last year.Īnd if/when they can't get a TV deal in place, they go to the next "premium" option, which is digital download, where the consumer directly pays the most per pop. My theory is that Toei still has a vision to put their shows on cable TV, to reach a "mainstream" audience with ad revenue stream behind it (which may be viable in other countries, but obviously isn't in the US anymore, as the only channels that still show anime are Adult Swim, Disney XD and the channel that only 5 people get, Primo TV - which was the home of World Trigger season 1's dub at first mind you). The One Piece dub is even dropped in batches for digital download and held from streaming for a time. anyway), which is a rather unusual strategy in the current anime market where everything streams immediately. In the case of the dubs for World Trigger's latest seasons, Digimon Adventure: and Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, they've only been available via digital download (in the U.S. Lest we not forget how Dragon Ball Super didn't have a streaming deal in place until over a year into its broadcast. Kai hadn't streamed anywhere in the world until just last year, I'd say that's definitely intentional on their part. Well, I should say for Dragon Ball anyway. Multiple Toei IPs have been readily available on pretty much every streaming platform imaginable.Īs to why it took so long for Kai to finally be available for streaming? Who knows but it wasn't because Toei was anti streaming ![]() I dunno where this "Toei is reluctant to have their properties available on streaming" idea came from but it's never been a thing. Maybe they're really, truly starting to ease up on their reluctance to streaming.
