I'd like to know what went on in the boardroom that day.
WB Exec #1: Okay, so apparently all the kids like this thing called "anime". We need to find out what this "anime" is about and try to counter it with a similar product that will appeal to the ignorant masses.
WB Exec #2: Umm....tentacle rape?
WB Exec #1: I don't...I don't think we can put something like that on TV.
WB Exec #2: Oh...
WB Exec #3: Lots of people used to like those Looney Tunes things right?
WB Exec #2: Okay, I got it! We make it like the Looney Tunes, right? Except they're in space and they're superheroes, right? And they look like they might be frightening to small children.
WB Exec #1: ...
WB Exec #3: ...
WB Exec #1: Genius.
WB Exec #3: Totally.
