Syfy in the recent years has really been trying hard. They even did this
syfy.com
They took Futurama
They have their own late night block called TNZT or something
They even have an animation block on Saturday nights
And their random and random animated bumps between shows mostly involving not-dumbledore smoking weed
Is [adult swim] really that fucking successful to have other channels try to go to war with [as]?
Syfy is trash
Kill it with fire
People watch Adult Swim.
People don't watch SyFy.
Except for the Twilight Zone, that show's great.
So far syfy's selection is just some webtoons they licensed, it's practically filler more than anything resembling a proper block. Harley Quinn is a big deal because it's an actual show, but they said they're going to show 2 hours of it every week. Then what? Back to webtoons? Is their whole block just Harley Quinn suddenly?
Syfy doesn’t know what to do and most of the time they dump money into a show and then cancel it because they remembered nobody watches their channel.
need to air more harry potter and black princess leia space show
>their own late night block called TNZT or something
TZGZ. Only reason I remember is because it's one letter in the alphabet later and the tagline is "It's after Syfy".
I only started watching it because of Cyanide and Happiness posting about their shit being there. I stopped watching when I realized it isn't anything I haven't seen on YouTube already.

>Old anime movie that is cheap to license
Lazy!
I remember Saturdays it was horror movies all day on Syfy
Hey do u remember the channel chiller it was a horror movie channel
Since we are talking about cable/satellite TV
I have a antenna. TV I bought antenna from big lots
How do you know about cable/Satelite TV
I got antenna tv I bought it from big lots
I cut the cord as you whipper snappers would say
What kind of webtoons?
Just bring back an anime block. Air old shit that may or may not be good.
I’m still pissed at them for canceling HAPPY! Just as it was getting an audience
>Syfy
I still refuse to accept this name. It's been 11 fucking years and I'm still cringing.
Fireworks/Twilight Zone is comfy as shit and I enjoyed watching Ghost Hunters on Wednesday nights as a kid, other than that Syfy doesn't have much to offer
I think Netflix may buy it.
i totally forgot about that show
There’s a Cyanide and Happiness cartoon??
This. Back in the day, before the rebrand to Syfy, they had one of the first anime blocks and paved the way for Toonami. It would be nice to see them try that again, especially if they still somehow have the rights to some of those older shows and movies.
It's just the stuff they've posted to YouTube already. Same with Purgatony.
last time an NBC channel played anime, it went fucking horribly. Chiller played it for 3 weeks on wednesdays without advertising it at all
Realistically how much horror anime is there to longterm sustain that?
[AS] will win in the end because Syfy is failing to promote itself. No really, when was the last time anyone here saw a Syfy add outside of the channel itself?
Well, I think that Merlin show lasted for a while so someone out there has to be watching. Maybe?
>Chiller played it for 3 weeks on wednesdays without advertising it at all
And yet, the Syfy animation block is only advertised slightly better. Really, if I was working with Syfy, I would be kicking someone for not jumping on Dr. Stone the moment it started gaining traction.
There is, but it looks like Syfy is just airing their youtube shorts over it. Even though I'm pretty sure the show has never aired on a 'proper' tv station and they'd probably be able to market as an exclusive of some sort.
Does help that they don't seem to have any original content.
lmao, compare that lineup to what AS got in Syndication in it's first 2 years, Family included.
Other than YJ and BWTB {as} never aired DC shows nor have they tried to make one for the block
>Does help that they don't seem to have any original content.
You can say that again. They are taking shows that originally were Vrv exclusives. Sure they are great shows, but come on.
Honestly it's interesting they've never done that considering their relationship (and now acquisition) with Warner Bros.
I guess Robot Chicken has done a lot of DC stuff though.
I'm not sure but they didn't even try. They just looked at the title and got it.
I mean they got Devil May Cry: The Animated Series and Is This a Zombie?
