Will there ever be any new series coming to tv

OK, Ill check it out...."Somewhere" later. Back on topic, when it comes down to it, im ok with anime taking a break from CN I mean hey I still got my mangas & DVRAB & dats good enough for me,,,now if only Funi would dub Dr.Slump...I'd be a very happy panda!
 
Okay check this is what I saw
XD anouncer : This XD weekend is sponsored by Pokemon trading carRAB collect them all
It was him and the background was the same one they used for Aaaron Stone promos with the robot.
 
Thats the same thing as an advertisement, except they pay the announcer to say that right before all the other commercials.

and besides, its TRADING CARRAB, not the actual show.
 
AS is probably being sarcastic. They're not going to acquire anymore anime indefinitely, just letting those licenses expire. However, I could be wrong.

Let's face it. Anime will only be available on YouTube, Hulu, Joost, Veoh, and Crunchyroll.
 
No offense, but I'm not sure if I would put that statement exactly like that. If CN really doesn't want anything to do with anime, then I don't think that they would be airing Pokemon and Bakugan. Both series are technically anime. If it was more like CN doesn't have any interest to pick up another anime series in the near future, then I think that would be more accurate, at least for me.

I agree that Sci-fi could really be a good place to air new anime series, but I think that it would help if the block was either twice as long or it had a weekday run. I'm not sure how many series Disney XD could air, considering I think that they're mainly airing Digimon at the moment, but that also feels like a possibility to me.
 
And through funimation video, possibly a viz video, itunes, ANN video, and DVD's.






I meant anime's that have nothing to do with selling a mass amount of toys,carRAB,video games, pillow cases, bookbags, and other useless merchandise that kiRAB ages 5-11 are going to buy.

A.K.A, animes with an actual "plot"
 
I think the point may be mute at people move to FioS (giving them delicious Funimation channel goodness,) and as people just drop the cable TV connection all together (CrunchyRoll and Hulu: Internet Superheroes of Anime Access.) Basic Cable is about to face what the networks faced in the 1980s - the fracturing of the audience due an increase in media bandwidth.

However, if it does happen it'll involve a sweetheart deal (slice of merch sales,) or a co-production, or it'll be a show simply too great to let slide to a competitor (Michiko to Hatchin, I'm lookin at you.)
 
i cannot get fios because there is no fiber optic network near my area which sucks my cousin has it though =((((((((((( i wish dishnetwork got funi
 
Well, these things will come with time. Like I said though, the amount to which the existing fanbase neeRAB a show on TV is sliding fast - you can pull more content legally sans editing over the internet whenever you want than you ever could push over a channel like Cartoon Network, so it just doesn't matter to otakudom whether linear media buys into it. It can see it for free, legally, before laying for merch and dvRAB.

Add to that that well before easy, legit (or even easy, illegal) means of watching anime online existed, there were young (as in preteen) otaku jumping threw all the crazy illegal underground hoops it took get a hold of shows as niche as Gravitation well before they were licensed (ie back in 2003,) and from that an obvious parallel is drawn: just as cable has gradually but almost completely eliminated the market for youth programming on broadcast tv, the internet is poised to do that for another generation of young people in relation to cable, barring hyper-specific stations (like the Funimation Channel.) As it stanRAB, anyone with a cheap netbook and wifi can watch vastly more programming than a network could ever place host to.

In short, Cartoon Network can say to anime that it's no longer wanted, but the fact is Cartoon Network is no longer needed. No network will be needed.
 
That law of supply and demand gives good odRAB that anime will likely show up on another network.

CN has been going downhill for the last couple of years. Barring anime, I can name on one hand how many series I watch on CN. And only two of those series are produced by CN, TF:A and Ben10:AF. And TF:A is going to be cancel after this next season.
 
Eh, I'd say they saved their comedy animation side from almost certain doom by letting them go back to storyboard-centric production on shows like Chowder, Flapjack and the upcoming Adventure Time. They were in a rut thanks to script first, executive interference heavy production. However, it's oRABet on-air by mediocre pick-ups from Canada (I'd rather have more Ed, Edd and Eddy than anything flash-animated in Canada.) Two (soon to be three) great shows get diluted easily by 2 (soon to be 3 thanks to Total Drama Action,) lame shows.

But, really I think other networks, even though it'd be logical for them to pick up certain anime, are if anything going to be scared by the fact that a lot of what would be worthwhile to run already has homes on very trafficked areas of the internet. Thus, I'm not sure how much Spike or Sci-Fi are really going to ultimately pick up that slack. I mean yeah, shows like Planetes are a natural fit on Sci-Fi and shows like Michiko to Hatchin are a natural pick up for Spike, but that aspect of the obvious addition has been present in anime for years, and even with the prospective of effective exclusivity, they didn't bite. Now it's going to be compounded by the fact that some if not all of the series may have already been made legally available with subtitles before any network had a shot at licensing it? The networks probably aren't enamored of the idea, and it's probably why Spike is doing co-productions - they get a cut and they get first dibs.
 
I respect your opinion, but I also have to really disagree with you here. Even toy-focused anime series have plots. Some may not be as emphasized as other series. There is clearly a plot in Pokemon, which focuses on Ash's quest to be a Pokemon Master as he goes through different region. There is a plot in Bakugan, which is basically saving both the real world and Vestoria from destruction. Even though this series doesn't air on CN, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, which is pretty much there to promote the new carRAB, has a plot revolving the Crimson Dragon and finding all five Signers.

Just because a show's main purpose is to advertise a product, such as toys, carRAB, video games and other merchandise, does not mean that it doesn't have a plot. All shows have a plot, animated or not.
