Just saw the hellsing ultimate thing. pretty excited, i havent seen ultimate. ive seen most of the originals though. id say a worthy successor to black lagoon
They could easily come back with premiere episodes of the Naruto Uncut Dub sometime later.
If you seen the original, take the crazy of that and ratchet it up by 1000.
HELLSING ULTIMATE VAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO GO IN FRESH!
From what I gathered from the snippets. Alucard arrives in a jet to kill someone, there is an immortal character who seems to just be there for the lulz. An crazy as shit priest that regenerates. Also, Nazis.

FMA:B and Cowboy Bebop are the new repeat power hour that'll air for the next ten years.
Replace FMA:B with Silver Spoon.
ACTION FARMING!

I intend to stick a pin in that since it is a bad habit of mine and a few others and it can get really grating for others. Plus it isn't too hard to come up with jokes for either on the spot >.<
I think Hellsing will be the first Toonami show where I have had absolutely ZERO exposure before it airs. I've not seen a single episode or even a single clip from it. I assume it's got vampires since Hellsing comes from from Dracula lore but that's just a guess.
Before this, I'd not seen but an episode or two if AoT and BtB at most.

Never seen Hellsing except for that funimation clip someone posted a few days back. I'm not a big fan of horror anime but I'll go in with an open mind.
Buhahahaha oh ye of little faith!
Anywho, I don't think I'll be able to stay up that late for Hellsing. Black Lagoon getting pushed back by 30 minutes was hard enough. Now it's another 30 minutes since Hellsing will apparently be an hour long. I may just have to DVR it since I haven't seen it before.
I wonder if Hellsing is a direct response to people saying they wanted "darker" shows in the feedback. Or maybe, they already planned to show Hellsing and planted the "want us to go darker?" question in advance to be sure. Then once people said YES to darker, they moved forward.
Personally, I thought that "darker" was a pretty vague suggestion. I wouldn't have expected it to be this dark. I just assumed darker meant more "serious" shows. Oh well, I'm not complaining. It'll be interesting to see how late night horror anime does.
Also, I hadn't seen Space Dandy before either, heh. I forgot about that one because it was a world premier.

Reruns. Still begging for Fate/Zero. Or Steins;Gate.

I'm sure Titan and Dandy will re-run, maybe not in those spots but I'd bet that they'd stay on the block. Bleach should be replaced (Fairy Tail? HxH? Sailor Moon) and the back end will swap out old shows. I'm still waiting on GitS....really expected that to be the BL replacement.
Ssssh, Shard will have an aneurysm
Would totally be up for that. I've seen very little (and played Gundam Musou 3), so I really want to see it, personally. Banagher would be an interesting hero to odd to the Toonami roster...
MOVIES AND MORE MOVIES! I'd actually love to see them make a trend out of airing OVA's / Specials / Spoofs after a series ends, Maybe throw in some SD Shippuden just because why not....
I do wonder how instant some of these deals are. Would they really have had something the polar opposite of Hellsing ready to run, if the fanvoice was against darkness?
Hopefully this and not reruns. New stuff on the block, even if it is old, is preferable to reruns of old shows in the first half of the block. I wouldn't mind seeing Log Horizon on there as well.
Fixed that for you
Besides, they want to draw out the show for as long as possible to keep ratings high week to week. One Piece is like the one show on the block that could benefit from being on for an hour per week.
This is always hilarious. One Piece might not even have enough hahas
Grandjedi put that in a while ago and I just kept it there haha

Imagine if Japan did a marathon of every single One Piece episode. If it takes 12 days, or 276 hours for the Simpsons to air all 552 episodes plus 2 hours for the movie, imagine how much longer it'd take for One Piece & all its movies.
Edit: I think it'd take about 14 days straight, not including the movies?

I wonder if they'd ever be up to making "Toonami Editions" of shows like One Piece?
For example, cutting the OP and ED + Recaps from 3 episodes, and making a 1 hour long nightly block of content out of it?
It'd be an interesting way to deal with slow arcs or drier content,

You'd have the purists calling for DeMarco's head on twitter
Imagine if they did a marathon of Sazae-san, which is the Japanese Simpsons.
There are over 7000 episodes.
What're you talking about?
....oh man, the See My Vest episode. & the one where the PTA disbands. & the one with the lemon tree. And both episodes of Who Shot Mr. Burns! & RADIOACTIVE MAN.
......you guys are lucky I have a 2nd TV which I can record all these episodes.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own

That's what people said about Gurren Lagann. & LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
.......it lead to a fun & positive group watch, along with great first impressions, so hopefully that'll happen with Hellsing Ultimate.
