Why is that anime blocks other than Toonami never became a success?

[starchaser9]

I know Toonami had success because of Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon and Gundam. It gave us obscure shows like Tenchi Muyo and Outlaw Star. But, what about the other anime blocks that came and went. What went wrong?

It's not the channel its the anime themselfs, A channel is as succesful as it shows. I am ware you are asking about a block but in the UK toonarmi was channel between 2003 and 2007. Dragonball has a massive following, same as Gundam.

What other anime blocks? aside from adult swim's anime block, I don't recall any.

Encore Action, G4, Syfy, Showtime Beyond, IFC and Chiller.

Ooh I forgot G4 had an anime block. For that one G4techtv got sold, and the new owners ditched everything tech or anime or game related, and removed techtv from the name, effectively killing the entire channel and creating a brand new one.

The others I had no idea even existed.
