Still, this isn't just about publicity. Again u dont live in America so u arent thinking about the opinions of the viewers if we were talking about the UK I would be doing the same thing.
The opinions of the viewers?
Sorry I'll quote it again then shall I?
DBZKai gets 1.4 viewers in Toonzai. That means at least 345800 new viewers and potential buyers.
One Piece COULD use 345800 more Viewers….
Yeah, people seem really pissed off. Like fuck they give a shit about you and some of your friends and some prissy youtube commentators with numbers like that.
This is everything about publicity. This show needs to be out there getting a name for itself if it's ever going to survive in the US in the long run.
You definitely got a point there, but I don't think people who get up early on saturday morning to watch cartoons are actually able to afford buying the DVDs. And even if they want it for birthdays/Christmas and what not, there's a good portion of parents who don't want to buy a show with a TV14 rating for their children.
Being aired weekly on saturday mornings is completely different from what DBZ, Naruto and pretty much any other popular anime had anyway: daily airings on a popular network in primetime. DBZ bombed twice before it actually became popular on CN and I don't think OP would do all that differently.
It's at least worth a shot instead of outright saying no. There'd be nothing to lose and everything to gain. Anyway, out of 1.4m different kids are you going to tell me that absolutely NONE of them will buy the DVDs?
Especially if they began at the timeskip!
