New Lineup Promo

[Obi]

Nothing too different, it basically has the same speech as normal, with PC reading off the shows. It's got some really nice, slower music too.


Still pimping Kenshin as "the long departed Rurouni Kenshin!".

Tagline was at the beginning, but it was just a slightly modified "Saturday night belongs to the fighters..."

[Rabi~en~Rose]

the part about Kenshin said "the long departed but never forgotten Rurouni Kenshin" so its just more WS showing the love for it

[Youko Recca]

FInally saw it. Much better than the last one. Like the original music they chose.

[Killtacular]

That's not even the new one. The new one hypes JLU premieres and ends with a Toonami graffiti logo, but CN is NOT running it for some reason. The only place you can see it is other networks through COBs.

[Youko Recca]

That's not even the new one.

Damn. So how long has the one I thought was new been playing? Sounds like it'll be more time than it's worth looking for this actual new one.

[James Bester]

Stupid question. What are COBs?

And I think youre talking about the regular JLU new episodes promo. Its been running on CN for two weeks now.

A COB, or Cable Operator's Break, is a series of commercials inserted by your local cable provider. They are what used to run over the Brak News segments on Adult Swim for certain people, and are also the reason why you sometimes see advertisements for R-rated movies on CN (which I think they are still not allowed to show themselves.)

Fun fact: If you turn on SAP while a COB is playing, you can hear the audio from the non COB commercials.

No. I'm not.

[Rave Master1]

Its about time cn started advertising toonami again! They've really been lacking the promos lately.

Hopefully, Matt's right about the toonami being advertised on other networks. It would be nice if he would give us a description.

It would be nice if they were actively advertising on other networks...but they aren't. COBs are local, which means your local area/state provider is advertising it on their own.

However, it is still partially the network advertising Toonami on other networks. My understanding is that the network provides certain promos to cable companies to use for COBs, etc. Often they are "taggable," meaning there is space at the end for the cable company to identify itself or add a sponsor. If several cable companies are running this promo then CN is liking pushing this promo to be used in COBs right now. Thus, CN can advertise on other networks without actually buying the time themselves.

Unfortunately, my cable company seems to be on a low COB diet right now.

I saw one of the recent promos durring Gundam SEED last night. Great promo. WS has still got it (at least for Toonami).

[Demonic Raven]

Woah, I think I just saw it. I knew it was a different one than the other because of Hiei at the end(which was cool). Very good.

[Killtacular]

For the record the new ad has "Don't sweat the technique" at the end.

And contains this:

[Discloner]

Wow...that's a rather impressive image. Much better then the normal fade into White with red bars, although if they're thinking about switching to this all-together, I can see it loosing it's unique shine quickly.

[Duke]

I gotta say, that's some nice graffitti right there.

[Demonic Raven]

Oh yeah. Definetly profesional work there. Veeeeery cool.

I hope Tyler gets both the lineups on TDA, they sure are playing them alot.

[Wanted]

Yeah, right, like Tyler's going to get those ads... unless we all give him milk and cookies!

That Toonami logo is tight, son! I need to watch Nick more often to see that COB commercial. TimeWarner Cable is around NY, so I think that they are the ones feeding Cablevision, the inferior company, the ads. They've shown a number of Cartoon Network ads on Nick.

[WeathermanX5]

Well, Tyler hasn't updated the TDA since like, mid-november.
