Hey, Jeff. If your there - now you found out why your Revolution 11 didn't work. Now you realize the Revelation of what is going down over at Atlanta.

Oh, if you didn't read why I said why that campaign was going to fail see here:

http://www.shadowness.com/journal/19424

It was a bit simplistic but it got the job done.

Oh, i keep telling everybody the same THING over and over again. Nobody hears.

And now you say you failed?

I could have told you this about Toonami years ago and saved you from losing that part of you that is now missing.

All one has to do, is look what the Otaku's tried to do with 4Kids and that is why they are doing what their doing on CN now. Thats all it is.

And i agree with this move. Its not because of the animation- its because of the audience. If Adult Swim's ratings didn't show you what was going down - then you deserved to be used like a puppet.

They cant trust the Otaku. Same with me. We tried to reason with them, same with me. Now were going to split this up and may have to take all the anime out of the network just to get newer audiences in. That might happen.

And you think they care? They have two animated franchise based on movies that made a BILLION bucks worldwide. The 4 executives you see here may have some sexual peccadilloes but there not stupid.

Im going to quote you here, and tell you why you continue to lose against these guys:

[i]Revolution 11, at least the first incarnation, is a failure, and I blame myself. I should have done it sooner than I did, and I should have tried harder. The Toonami fanbase is there, but it's hardly at the levels it was when DBZ, ReBoot, Sailor Moon, Batman, and Gundam dominated the block. The spirit that guided the creation of sites like this one dissapated a long time ago, and the sense of community isn't there anymore, and I feel responsible for all of that. I'm not at my lowest point, mind you, but right now, I'm almost there. I'm a little disheartened and feeling a little dejected. I'm very upset at myself, the direction of the campaign, and the end results. Toonami, as the fans grew to know it, is gone. It's a memory now. A great memory, but a memory nonetheless. I really wanted to fight more, but mentally, I'm exhausted and sick. [/i]

See, you continue to fail because what they want and what you want has never existed. You cannot control them, but boy oh boy they have made you into a puppet and when the puppet didn't play by their rules they ran away from you.

There not going to listen unless your Chris Brown, Jeff. Or dating Miss Kim Kardashian. There willing to give Amid a sort of a chance with John K because HE knew what was going down. There never gonna give me a chance because just like Miss Coulter stated about Obama, I dislike everybody (except my friends in the Shadowness, those at neogaf and two posters over at Gamefaqs and they know THOSE two) equally, unless you have SOMETHING that makes me gravitate to your work or to your being, not to steal it or to take from it to be in AWE of it.

There's the difference because I don't want power, and cant stand fame. Im not in awe, and haven't been inspired by you in a long time. Nothing against you, just stating the facts.

Endgame (i dont know his real name) can inspire people. RINN and Jessie (along with Meng and all the rest that have been in the shadowness for the past 5 years!) can inspire people. We in the shadowness have been together for LONGER than most anime conventions. We don't have conventions to our name, we don't have the Power of DeviantArt, but we keep living. One day it will come- we will become the center of the next gen art world, and we will deal with the fame and all what it does then, but until then and until Meng arrives and does what he does best - we are here. Now. We come and we go.

You never saw that with the Toonami Fandom and you lost them to the Otaku's who wanted 4Kids dead and wanted a TV Tokyo out of the Cartoon Network. And they almost won too.

But when Higgins left, and the Turner CEO's told Warner Animation Productions to butt out - Bewkes had NO choice but to give Kids WB over to 4Kids ENT for MUCH less then what they bought Fox with. Once that happened, the Turner CEO's started to CLEAN house in CN. This was going to effect One Piece. After the comments Al Kahn made and where even the FUNI CEO stated the same thing- CN took it what he said, look at the ratings for Naruto, One Piece, Bleach- compared to Family Guy, Chowder and Ben Ten and stated the Otakus don't have the money to spend, and if we are going to do aqqustions, Warners have to be notified because were not paying for this for even MORE money then what we take to AIR the series.

This is what happens when you dont take accounting, and account for what is really going on. Who Brought Adult Swim to power? Futurerama and Family Guy, NOT BLEACH or Iniushia, Who gave the promise of Toonami to the masses? Thundercats, Voltron, Robotech, Johnny Quest (2k1) and only because they couldn't get the deal off to bring any of these shows back for new series by 1999, thats why Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon came along along with Gundam Wing. Thats what brought Toonami to greatness.

So now, the business has changed from boy centered (which the WWE Kids brand will gladly cover for now on thank you very much) to a girl centered line up because of Hanna Montana. You don't see it and you fail because of that blindness. Well see it NOW. Im not gloating here. Im showing you why now they cannot trust the Otakus and therefore, if they want anime they co produce it like 4Kids has done with Yugi-Oh 5th Dimension and Sega, Nevana and CN with Bakugen...

The Otakus want to change the way the business work because they feel as though that the Japanese culture (rightly or wrongly) is "superior" to a "dead, dying WASP" nation such as ourselves in the states. Its not they don't want to work with us, its that they still believe its the mega boobied (or flat chested take your pick) manly hyper violent yet the good guys don't always win, but they always look great doing it culture that the States USED to espouse. All the girls are pretty, smart, and have massive melons for sexual needs. We can be conservative mega heroes by day, and sexual deviants at night...and OOOOh the FOOD. McDonalds isn't bastardized! And the games, oooh WIIIIII!

Oh that could all be true for some gajin in Japan. But that doesn't mean you have to make it SO, in the states. They would LOOK at you weird, if you bring say a nearly nude anime like model in your home. Some of the American Otaku's gf's even get jealous because "is that what he wants?" and all these questions pop up about his freakiness...

But, to expand it to Hollywood, its weird enough. Now it gets worse because the animators and the rest, still dont understand the anime "wave" - and the intellectuals like Mike Barrier etc; still treat it as second class (in a fashion) and not like Tyla, or such other men. Even the anime intellectuals such as Brian Enternger of aniPages are getting sick of the monotony of the genre in this era. And when they get rid of the blue collar fans (DBZ and the Like) and the Casuals (they see one anime movie every 2 years at best and one anime series every 1 1/2 years at best) all you have left is the perverted, pirating rebels with hundreds of sights making money out of hard work, and places like 4chan and the like coming out of the wood work, like clockwork.

The Cartoon Network sees these things, and WANTS no part of it. If you take the anime fandom to your own, then your gonna have to take the bad side of it. They have co-opted the language when it came to the blue works of animation (which was called the Brazilian papers or works) now all its called H-Works anime or no, now they have tried to do the same with the american industry by renaming it Hybrid, or AmeriMangation, or better yet Amerime.

So now, for their own survival, CN want no part of that business for this time, possibly permanently. I TOLD these IDIOTS over at gamefaqs before i left, that One Piece and Naruto were on borrowed TIME~! and they don't hear.

Im tired myself, Jeff. Thats why i told Creativerelms the other day- i don't trust the american anime fandom anymore for the most part. And if you want to have any success, the same goes for you. Dont trust them. Let them be. We have our own industry to save and whenever, 20 months, 25 years - the fandom and there companies want to play ball with us then they can but it will be by the same rules and by lines we gave them WAY back when. This is where I take my stand. I treat anime on a case by case basis unless I know the director is good. I don't even touch manga outside of all of Teskua's works and Berserk. I don't even dabble in their conventions unless its done by a reputable agency (Kennedy Center etc) Will you do the same or similar or your going to go back to those chains?

He had a dream. Too bad he really wasn't the man for change, and wasn't as Good Hearted as the American Soviet now says he is. But as for you Jeff your BETTER than that man who had that dream. The problem is do you even see it? Can you create your life, or do you want others who tell lies to your face that your nothing better than that.

There are about to vote in a man, who could become the next Great Dictator. A self hating person with delusions of grander who since he was 6 wanted to be president, Not of Kenya, nor of Indonesia...BUT this country! He is about to set us back 400 hundred years BACK Jeff, and you should be more worried about that then some CN doing business the only way they know how! Dont tell me its some bullshit political crap that the right is saying about him, the New York TIMES outed this dude!

There are more things to be worried about than if Toonami is equal...
