One Outs 10

I believe this is what is referred to as "black muscles".

 

[duckroll]

Believe me, the few of us fans here are aware of that fact, which makes the tease from last week even worse.

My question is, how can it be a "shift" if there's nothing to shift into? If the series has a huge change of tone by episode 10, and then it ends 2 episodes after that, what's the point? Lol.

It does seem that this show is getting cut awfully short. It makes me wonder what's the point of it being made at all.

 

[PdotMichael]

Highshcool DxD has the best ED, and I haven't even seen the show.

You are wrong but no one is perfect.

 

[A Black Falcon]

In order to taunt endless shonen fans who wish this was one of those shows? Saying "see, you'll get more of this if it sells well enough to get a followup"? I don't know, but it is kind of silly as is to have a genre switch like two episodes before the end.

 

[Regulus Tera]

All this hyping up of the genre shift in Medaka Box accomplishes is spoil the fact that there's a genre shift for the people that have been interested in the cartoon to begin with.

I bailed out at the right time.

There is no point. That's why I'm fuckin pissed.

I'm sorry.

Another great ED

Canvas from Eureka Seven. Actually this show is filled with great tunes.

[There's always a place in my heart in the skies of love] 017

Lots of brolust moments in this episode:

• Oberstein jealous of Kircheis position as Lohengramm's concubine confidante.
• Lohengramm manlustingly admiring Yang's ability to read him like the shaft of his arm.
• All of Yang's subordinates commenting on Kircheis' handsome appearance at the POW exchange treaty signing.
• Kircheis hitting on fifteen-year-old Julian.
• Bucock spending quality night-time with Yang.
• And a Council of Shadowy Men in Poorly-Lit Rooms Who Want to Control the World.

Did I stumble onto a BL anime?

I would say it's a distinct possibility.

Jet planes, guns and now tanks. What other military stuff have they not moefied yet? Combat Knives? Ships? Combat rations?

 

[Haly]

Shuttles and other spacefaring crafts.

Ships has been done, only in manga form so far though.

 

[cajunator]

The satellite moe can't be far off.
Isn't there a manga of that?

Also, why isn't there an anime of the OS-tans? they seem popular enough.

Take out Bleach and it'd be a pretty good lineup. Should swap in Baccano instead.

 

[BGBW]

The next step should be cute girls who are tea.

Well, that's going to appeal to a bunch of people, even if its a boring lineup overall. Those shows have plenty of fans.

Fuck yeah, FLCL. One of my favorite experiences with AS/Toonami.

 

[cajunator]

I wish a tv channel would just air old 90's ovas like burn Up W and Iria all day. I would totally watch a channel like that.

 

[BGBW]

I see they end the end with a bang.

 

[Haly]

Toonami was never about niche/unknown stuff though.

It was always about manly stories that kids could look to for inspiration.

So what's so manly and inspirational about Bleach?

They're running both FMA series along with Bebop, that's manly and mainstream enough.

Polar Bear Café 07

Dude.

Duuuude...

Poor Handa-san, having to put up with Polar Bear and Panda's swag.

This picture makes no sense whatsoever.

Polar Bear is an abusive spouse.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THE GRIZZLY SONG STAYS

 

[Envelope]

So what's so manly and inspirational about Bleach?

We can all learn from Aizen.

 

[BGBW]

So what's so manly and inspirational about Bleach?

Well they say you should keep bleach away from the reach of children so one has to be manly by default in order to use it.

TV Guide has a listing of the debut line-up for Toonami's return on May 26th:

That's not much different from what's currently running at that time on Adult Swim. It just swaps out Big O and Kekkaishi for original FMA and a second airing of Bebop.

 

[PdotMichael]

Jet planes, guns and now tanks. What other military stuff have they not moefied yet? Combat Knives? Ships? Combat rations?

There are some nice battleship mangas.

The satellite moe can't be far off.
Isn't there a manga of that?

http://news.sfacg.com/Files/2009-6-8/9f8a8fee-5218-4f9c-bf93-d4914a3ea8f9.shtml

It has a manga section but it's more a light-hearted textbook

 

[Haly]

Wait why the fuck are they airing both FMAs at the same time?

That's just asking for a headache.

 

[Cwarrior]

Two Fma going to confuses causal people making them conflicted about the franchises

*fma1 airs*

this show so boring and retarded at the same time

*fma brotherhood airs*

why does this look so much better wait there actually some cool fighting going on now? I was wrong about fma

*fma 1 airs again*

...fuck this shit I don't even know whats going on anymore

 

[Regulus Tera]

*fma1 airs*

this show so boring and retarded at the same time

Not this shit again.

 

[BGBW]

The ending to the first FMA (never watched Brotherhood) confused me. When they

Spoiler

ended up in the real world was it meant to be WWI or WWII? Zeppelins suggest WWI, but the mention of Churchill indicates WWII.

.

 

[Regulus Tera]

That line-up looks more like a regular adult swim anime night, not a Toonami return.

 

[Cwarrior]

The time slot is pretty crazy I don't know anyone that watches tv that late at night.

Toonami was never about niche/unknown stuff though.

It was always about manly stories that kids could look to for inspiration.

Then they should put Hajime no ippo in there.

Ed goes back to 1921, so neither.

When he meets Hohenheim there, though, it's during World War I.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

The time slot pretty crazy I don't know anyone that watches tv that late at night.

Adult Swim and Nick at Nite were pretty much the only TV I watched in high school. Late night TV is best TV.

 

[flawfuls]

Was Toonami always that late?

 

[dimb]

That's not much different from what's currently running at that time on Adult Swim. It just swaps out Big O and Kekkaishi for original FMA and a second airing of Bebop.

I get the feeling that they wanted to rebrand it with the Toonami name so people feeling nostalgic and caught up in the fervor of the name coming back would just watch the shows they had.

Sket Dance 58

Excellent first half of the episode, all the way through even the mid-episode eyecatch. Too bad the second half just had me crying over how bad it was.

Next week is another of my favorite story arcs; looking forward to it.

 

[BGBW]

OK.

Wonder why Churchill was mentioned then. Maybe I had dodgy subs.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

The Toonami that I remember came on in the afternoon, around the time that school got out.

 

[Theonik]

Oh God.

Bwahahaha.

I can't listen to the original lyrics anymore haha.

Highshcool DxD has the best ED, and I haven't even seen the show.

It certainly has interesting animation.

Spoiler

Now if you would excuse me while I get a new pair of trousers /jk

Edit:

OK.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Churchil was a politician way before he was Prime Minister, in fact he was one of the people most opposed to the appeasement policy the UK had towards Hitler

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I could barely make it for Bleach.

That cant be final...theres no new show?

Medaka Box - 07

An... entertaining episode, where Shiranui isn't the sole entertaining factor of said episode... what the hell?

All this hyping up of the genre shift in Medaka Box accomplishes is spoil the fact that there's a genre shift for the people that have been interested in the cartoon to begin with.

I bailed out at the right time.

Which ironically, are generally the people who have already read the manga.

I get the feeling that people who are anime only have either dropped it already, or are sticking with it because they've been informed of the genre shift, with a third faction being the Shiranui fanclub.
