Was there a whole lot of competition? 2023 was a weird year for TV. I don't know about "demand", but "engagement" sure.
Yeah, it's really just measuring "engagement" or better yet, the company Parrot is a snake oil company trying to there "data".

No way was Secret Invasion the third most in demand show of the year.
By demand they don't just look at views but wiki page visits and posts online, extra stuff like that.

So I wonder how long was this in the works, I could have sworn in a post Greg even said he heard about interesting plans when it comes to the anime (I might VERY well be misremembering so please forgive me if I am wrong)

RE: One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio
Netflix's Japan YouTube channel began streaming a new anime short titled "The Dog & The Boy" ("Inu to Shōnen") by Wit Studio on Tuesday.
The short features AI-generated backgrounds (based on human-created concept art and final touch-ups). Netflix stated that the move is an attempt to alleviate the "lack of manpower in the anime industry." The backgrounds are only credited to "AI (+Human)," but does not credit who drew the concept art or made the final touch-ups to the backgrounds.

RE: One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio
It’s just Oda playing with AI, he’s down it already and posted it on Twitter before.
People are only focusing on it now for little reason other than be super cynical

RE: One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio
It's literally just Oda having fun with AI, that has nothing to do if the remake will us it.

@Sano said in One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio:
For me I don't know how to feel about this. Especially with the original anime is still ongoing. I'm also curious if the Funimation/Crunchyroll dub cast are going to be involved with the new series or not.
Netflix still used the dub cast for the Black Clover movie they distributed.

@Zephray Such decisions are more than likely up to the One Piece Production Committee and not Netflix.

RE: Viewership and Rankings Discussion
https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/netflix-subscribers-q3-earnings-1235760620/
Netflix subscribers grew by 8.76 million in Q3, totaling 247.15 million by the end of the fiscal period Sept. 30.
Netflix called out several originals that it says boosted subscriber growth in Q3, including the hit live-action adaptation of beloved Japanese manga “One Piece,” along with the mighty viewership power of USA Network drama “Suits,” which has been immensely popular on the platform throughout the summer.
I don't think we need to worry

RE: Season 2 (and Beyond?) Speculation Thread (Spoilers)
@danilomaster87 said in Season 2 (and Beyond?) Speculation Thread (Spoilers):
Despite the good reviews and a solid start, it seems the shows is losing viewers...
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/one-piece-netflix-live-action-ranking-b2407691.htmlAnd today in the US is third. Not a good sign...
I hope It goes better worldwide (in Italy it remains first).
How Netflix does views is weird, as because One Piece is a longer show, it has to have Way More Views/Hours watch to match the views of shows that have less hours.
Like that comedy special mention in the article because it's under an hour, every hour watch equals 1 view. One Piece because it's over 7 hours long, it has to do that much more.
Say that comedy special got 1 million views and OP got 6 million views, because OP is longer it view count is lower.
Netflix creators said in the past recently Netflix cares a lot about views/making hit series to expanded in other regions. So viewer still matters in the US, but if it get more subscriptions elsewhere the better really.
Also Witcher Season 3 got knock of in it's 2nd weekend overall in the US by a comedy special and Netflix seems all well and good continuing that series.

Oh, I prefer that, too. It also keeps up hype and discussion for a series much longer. But as far as I know, that's how Netflix usually handles new seasons or shows.
It's all at once.

@MugiMikey said in Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ):
That article was about information a full year before they decided to drop it, so I wouldn't take that as evidence that the dub was profitable.
No, the article is dated March 16 2006. 4Kids stop dubbing/drop license on December 6th 2006, close to 9 months later.
4Kids corporate plan was to focus on shows that they had more direct control of/they were producing.
The only real anime 4Kids continue to focus on that wasn't there's was Yugioh because it was too big to drop. Big enough they went to court for this.
The Japanese licensors allege that 4Kids has been fraudulently hiding the income and deducting the fees they are contractually obligated to pay.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2006-03-16/4kids-fiscal-2005-results
"Most of the shortfall was blamed on decreased revenue from Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Pokémon, and was offset by increased revenue from Winx Club, One Piece and Cabbage Patch Kids. In regards to Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kahn stated that the decrease is sales was largely due a slower than expected transition to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. While sales of older Yu-Gi-Oh! products have been tapering off, sales of GX products have been doing very well, but the products have been very slow to get to market."
Seems like One Piece was helping out during a rough period and the first set of toys were in December.
"Heading forwards, it was stressed that 4Kids wants to focus on properties it owns, as opposed to properties that it licenses. Fully owned properties and co-owned properties do not expire or have restrictions placed on them by licensors. New properties that 4Kids is committed to include "Viva Pinata," a game and TV series being produced with Microsoft, and Chaotic, a card game from Denmark for which 4Kids has purchased all rights."
Maybe wanting to own the properties/have a bigger cuts made they want to drop other than the BIGGEST earners.

@Blake-Bakes-Cakes Well they only dubbed One Piece still they could legally drop it.

RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
@Captain-Krupp This seems to be a trend with some anime. I know the likes of Sailor Moon wasn’t popular with its airings on other networks before Toonami. To a lesser extent Dragon Ball, from what I could tell it had good ratings before, just didn’t explode until Toonami reairings.

RE: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)
Weren’t One Piece ratings good with the 4Kids dub, on Fox and or Toonami?

RE: The Super Mario Bros. Movie
@andre said in The Super Mario Bros. Movie:
@JustaGuy Yeah, thats definitely fair. If I had kids, I'm sure they'd love it. I had fun, but like the references were just amusing. A great movie would have been clever, and witty, and genuinely engaging in a way I didn't expect. I don't think it's bad, but it's not a piece of elevated content.
I think if someone like the directors actually wrote it, it would be a whole lot better.

@Skippy said in Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ):
@JustaGuy Well the film is actually incomplete with the dub release on digital which is a bigger yikes. Basically the movie had to crunch a bit during production, so a lot of retakes for a lot of aspects were done for the Amazon Prime release in Japan and probably the Blu-ray....but the dub release is the theatrical version
Okay but that not why people are bombing it. It's SOLEY due to it being the dub and not the subtitled release.
