Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Have you talked to kids today? The majority of them doesn't give a shit about stuff that looks old.
So this is where that song is from. It's a common fixture at one of the radio stations I listen to while at work.
...yes I listen to anime radio stations while at work.
Well, I guess.
I think Kai is doing a good job of introducing a new audience to DBZ though, apparently the sales of actual Kai volumes are mediocre but since airing on US TV it's made sales for DVDs of the full DBZ show go up, lol.
But more people watching YYH is a good thing too. Good show.
Horseshit. Look at how good the Kai ratings are in the US. It's majority old with a few redrawn scenes.
Kids want to see fightin' shows.

I would like to look at age breakdowns of said ratings to make sure it's children watching and not old smelly 90ers.
Do kids these days even give a shit about any cartoons outside of Phineas and Ferb and SpongeBob?

I could think of things they could show in the future but currently, whatever they show I most likely already have...well perhaps they could get Fairy Tail on their. In the future they could put Tiger & Bunny.

It'd be awesome if Fairy Tail got on there. It needs to become even more popular.
im only 30 episodes in, and no, it doesnt need to become popular.
The editor needs to be shot, and whoever is doing the photoshop/sony vegas effect filters also shot!
No Soul Eater = smh

I'd be cool with this. Add in Beelzebub and Gintama. Just make it the WSJ + Fairy Tail block.
Oh yeah that too, just slipped my mind
Gintama sure, Beelzebub meh

Taking it back to the superior part of Naruto, those unaired filler episodes could finally be seen by all.
Id remove YYH and DBZ for HxH and Bakuman.
Yeah I'm sure Toonami would be eager to air Naruto fillers, it's not like those are part of what got the block killed last time or anything!

Toonami should air Sengoku Basara if anything for the hotbloodness.
No relation to promoting the Basara franchise whatsoever.

That would be an amazing fit. And it's Funi too, so no licensing issues really.
Zettai Karen Children 1
Let's just jump into the good and bad:
- ugly character designs
- annoying and irritating characters
- stupid writing
- ugly and plentiful CG
- unfunny humor
- more stupid writing
- stupid pedo jokes
+ black-haired megane is decent
+ and she speaks in Kansai-ben!
+ there was a few spots of nicely drawn animation
So basically, this was a poor episode that in no way interests me in watching further.
What is this, Index?Unfortunately no, it's worse.

Depends on the kids' ages surely. I was watching old shows as a wee lad that were probably 10 or more years old and this wasn't anything fancy. Just simply shows about everyday folk like Postman Pat.

Hetalia: World Series Part 1
Prussia is awesome. His awesomeness overshadows everything else.
Hetalia: Paint It, White
This was interesting at the very least. 80 minutes of Hetalia is much more than what is usually expected. It's 16 times longer than an average episode! Then again, it contained a bunch of recaps or literally random episodes thrown around which pretty much cut into the narrative. Besides that, the movie is still pretty funny and just the right level of offensiveness.

That's because you're English.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but yeah...
Typically I buy the BR if its available. Mainly its more because I want nearly indestructable discs that are very hard to scratch/ruin.

I AM TOTALLY DOUBLE DIPPING THE SERIES FOR THIS!
Ginga e Kickoff 3
I'm pretty much sold on this show now, it's just a ton of fun to watch. The characters are all likeable, even if the MC is quite brash (actually, that's one aspect that helps make him likeable - the loud in-your-face character type can be tricky to pull off well
but it works here.) I was worried the triplets might go for the snobbish attitude, but fortunately my fears were groundless, and they ended up being the stars of this episode. I feel like that scoreline was a bit overdone, but at least it avoided the old cliche of having them lose miserably to give themselves a goal to work for.
Anyway, they're in desperate need of a coach, and it looks like next episode will focus on that.
This is really the best overlooked show of this season, more of you should start watching it!
Best moment of the episode

just look at luffy for an example of a failure har har

Come on, there's nothing wrong with getting overexcited for something you know will never live up to your expections, just look at
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. Ginga e Kickoff!! truly is the best overlooked show of this season.
It is a heavily family-oriented show, but the characters are fun and the football actually looks like football (a rarity in anime).
It becomes a good (well, campy-good, not necessarily good-good) show, try not to write it off after one episode
This also reminds me that I need to watch another SKET Dance since cosmic told me that this is where the Hayate S1/ZKC director is working now.

This may be true, but after the first episode Prussia did not return until around episode 12-13 and then disappeared again. His awesomeness is just too much to animate I guess.
Yup, it's been a very pleasant surprise, and there's nothing wrong with a nice family-oriented show between all the Fate/Zero's and HoTD's and whatnot. >_>
And yes, they really are using their budget effectively, even though the non-football scenes suffer for it.

It's not completely dropped, just put way on the back of my priority list, I might watch an occasional episode here and there.

Personally, I have no reason to be excited about the return of Toonami, despite my fond memories, since I don't have a TV. Speaking generally, it's impossible to know what to think until we have more details on what this entails. If it's just a rebranding of the anime that currently airs on CN Saturday nights, or if it's going to consist only of old shows and aim solely at the people who grew up with it in the 90s/early 2000s, I don't see any reason to celebrate.

being realistic/cynical is the only way to

STOP ENJOYING THINGS!
Is it wrong that I'm excited for Toonami even though I know there's a decent chance that it will end up being lame and a let down to the nostalgia crowd? Toonami and later Adult Swim are part of what got me started with anime. Plus, it's the whole package, with Tom and hopefully more video game reviews that are part of the appeal for me. :/
What do you mean, kids already have legend of korra, avengers earths mightiest heroes and Young justice which are all very well smartly written shows, far better written then like what anything to come out in the last 5 years for anime.
Smart is the last word I would associate anime with.
Viz had started to drip-feed the dub cast for Tiger & Bunny ahead of the summer cons. First announced role: Patrick Seitz as Sky High.
I'm fine with it. Hardcore anime fans were never the target audience anyway, so I don't understand the upset over the likelihood of the block showing more mainstream series that AnimeGAF has seen already. I'm for whatever gets a new generation interested, a result which still isn't precluded if it ends up being a nostalgia block.
Come on, at least have some subtlety if you're going to try to pull this.
You should stick around more often; we have a surprising amount of Sailor Moon discussion here!

Finally this arc is done. I have to put it as the least fun arc in the series thus far. I enjoyed when Komatsu used all those knives but otherwise, yes off to a new locale. And finally Zebra, based on what others said or hinter, Im stoked to see him in action, please be epic.

Come on, turn your brain off and chill out with us. It'll be fun!
Ideally Toonami would adopt YJ. (Avengers is with Disney and Korra is with Nick, right? So I don't see that happening. In a perfect world all the good animation would fall under Toonami for dat wrapping)
