Sounds promising!
How long until Bakemonogatari?

Kinda sorta getting the band back together as Deedlit gets downgraded to damsel in distress. Unsure how to feel about this as she's been one of the stronger characters so far so torn between it being said downgrade or a case where friends have to get together to pick up the slack left behind.
For the worst girl fans.
moe killing anime etc
and neat effects animation

Could always be something worse.
It can give an idea of the poster's interests or preferences, but it actually has to be tasteless or offensive for me to seriously consider disregarding (though there is synergy effects with the right posts/avatars.) I don't get the idea of outright disregarding a post based on avatar alone but I guess people can be superficial in the dumbest of ways at times.
I kind of got the impression it already was honestly. Heck, it came on Netflix relatively quickly even if it's sub only for now.
Unfortunately.
...Hopefully it'll make those kids forget about SAO.
Anything to forget about SAO.

Atleast it's not SAO anymore

Better than Sword Art Online, I guess.

I have yet to watch aot. Only cuz the manga felt kinda slow.

Oh boy, if you thought the Manga was slow.

If the manga felt slow, you would find the anime to be interminable. Things get slowed down much further.

I'm still convinced it got popular because of the OP and all the parodies of it.
So, going by this pattern of overhyped shows, Kill la Kill will probably be next.

I'm holding out for Soul Eater Not!
that would make sense. Wonder if they would try Blast of Tempest or Magi.

It amazes me how they get stuff like this and yet ignore other stuff like Gurren Lagann.
Gurren Lagann never aired on Toonami did it? Cause if it didn't, this is a mistake that must be fixed.

People in the Toonami thread seem excited, how quickly will that end? Refresh my memory, were people excited about SAO coming to Toonami, because no one liked that there.

I give it until around Episode 10 before the shoddy production values and awful pacing have people complaining about the show and writing it off.
I have to imagine it'll endure longer. You didn't have to seriously pay attention to hear and know about Attack on Titan, while SAO for me was "oh hey where did that funny gif come from?"
It was on the scifi channel. Don't think any Aniplex stuff has been on Toonami either, has it?

Probably for the entire duration. While SAO stops being an action show fairly quick, Attack on Titan is pretty gogogogo
atleast moreso then SAO, it's pacing isn't great
Or people will get bored during the boulder. That could also happen.
They're the worst sticks in the mud, aren't they?

I don't get how that's a bad thing. This isn't any worst in pacing, at least if memory serves right, than "Stare at each other for whole episodes" Dragon Ball Z. Gateway anime are meant to bring people into the medium and seek more. The quality doesn't matter if they enjoy it and then they go to people more knowledgeable for recommendations and it might eventually bring up their interest for more.
I got my cousing into AOT, which lead into him watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. That's a win no matter how you look at it.
I'm sure a good number of toonami-gaf have already seen it. And considering the overlap with mangaf...
Would love to see something like Code: Breaker air there, but that's never going to happen.
I've read code;breaker. It's basically x-men, only the protagonist keeps getting upgraded to further Gary Stu levels with each passing page.

I'm pretty confident Toonamigaf will like AOT almost the entire way through. Pacing issues aren't much of a problem and its otherwise pretty consistent. It's also a legitimately liked series on the internet, unlike SAO which is as much of a punching bag as Twilight is at this point.

Blue Exorcist and Sword Art Online are Aniplex.
Well, SAO. But TTGL might just be too old at this point - toonami must be a great way to get the word out about new series.
e: fixed

TTGL can't be too old, they have Black Lagoon on there right?
They'd just cut the ownage OP anyway.I'm sure a good number of toonami-gaf have already seen it. And considering the overlap with mangaf...

I don't know about that. If Deadshit Wondercrap could get on Toonami, I think anything can!
Yeah, that's true. Would be a good addition either way.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I heard this next season of SAO is suppose to be decent by a couple people.

My understanding is that because the Ani-Monday block on sci-fi was run by Manga Entertainment, everything had to have their broadcast rights sold to them in order to air (which applied to TTGL and Gundam 00, probably some other shows, too). So that might be an additional wrinkle involved with it airing anywhere else.
It takes DBZ a long time before the pacing starts to get really bad. Early on it actually moved at an okay pace, although not great. Attack on Titan's pacing falls apart by around Episode 8.
Forgot about Blue Exorcist too. Hope the movie makes it to one of their movie nights.
Should have said Aniplex USA rather since two of three there are funi licenses iirc.

IIRC, they aired FLCL on Toonami last year. Wasn't that OVA made in 2003? If they showed that, then I don't think the show's age has to do with anything.

With Black Lagoon in Toonami they already have enough good anime for a lifetime. Who cares if SAO and AoT are there.
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get TTGL when it was hot but got beat by Sci-Fi. Or SyFy if they changed their name by then, whichever.
Though as pointed out they have had older and kept that in circulation, and animation wise it's probably modern enough, I don't recall it being notably behind Kill la Kill (maybe even ahead of that? Unless a moment or two of CGI puts Kill la Kill ahead) and it's 16:9.
Ranma notably didn't, I seem to recall that was one people wanted after Inuyasha hit it big, and that actually had text blurbs going "nope." But that'd probably be a nuisance to censor anyway, Urusei Yatsura would probably have been more reasonable despite coming from the 80s with no dub existing (that anyone would want to actually use.)

Fate/Zero is already dubbed, put that shit on toonami
Oh that wasn't a comment on censorship, but how it's a low priority show with limited popularity and terrible sales in Japan.

I feel like Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins got on Toonami right when it came back by virtue of being relatively cheap for them to acquire. Now that they've gotten bigger, they've mostly gone after bigger titles, ones that they probably couldn't have afforded back then.
