It would be an easy show to show, cheap, good, and only 11 or so episodes if I remember well. It would work really well as a stop gap show in that 2:30 time slot

The problem is that eye sheid 21 anime is garbage.

We didn't get ratings yesterday because of the holiday, right?
I tried to get into Eyeshield 21 back in the mid 00's but it was such a pain to find any legal content. I'd like to see Hikaru no Go on toonami but I'm not sure if that qualifies as an action cartoon or sports for that matter.

Ahhh, so sports anime = insta-bad. Got it. Now sports MANGA, that's totally different.
I can't remember how many volumes of the Eyeshield 21 manga I read, but my friend in high school would buy them & I'd borrow them from him.
I WANT to say Hikaru no Go was on Toonami, or maybe I'm thinking of Jetstream, because I know it was on that.

Ippo is the only good sports anime I heard favorable things about. I hear the mangas are better for the rest (except Prince of Tennis). I should try reading Eyeshield 21.
Read it, it is so good.
Well boxing is sports. And if you think about it Dragon ball is a sports anime.

I think it was on the streaming service, was that jetstream? I used to read Hikaruo no Go in the US monthly Shonen Jump mag.
I'm resisting the urge to read the manga at this point. I'm loving how the story has been paced so far and not being spoiled by what's coming up has been good.
Yup, Jetstream had a few shows exclusive to it, like Eyeshield 21, Blue Dragon, & such.

Oh man I remember Blue Dragon used to be on toonami. Can't recall any details from the show though.

Man, if we somehow got Ippo that would be killer. Takamura's awesomeness would melt the audience's faces.
It's bad like a lot of shows that premiered on the Saturday Toonami Block.
You can understand why they dropped the branding after you look at what anime they could actually get on there.
Is there an episode today, I thought that was not the case.
False. For one, Cross Game. So good.
I did leave some wiggle room with the whole about it part. Lord knows I haven't seen it all.
I wasn't 100% sure due to the double episode last week.

Assault on Arkham or the upcoming live-action movie?
... We now live in a world where there's TWO Suicide Squad movies. Then again, I never thought we'd get a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
Peple who dismiss Ping Pong as a sports anime are severely missing the point. Ping Pong is a character drama with Ping Pong as the backdrop, in fact, in many ways it goes against practically every norm of sports anime.
Ping Pong in itself is so much different then Prince of Tennis, Hajime No Ippo, and Eyeshield 21 because its not about the sport itself. You dont get players explaining the rules of Ping Pong, you dont get a "IM A MEDIOCRE PERSON BUT I TRAIN THE HARDEST AND HAVE FRIENDS SO I WIN" and really, there are no "Anime Super Moves" other then the stylistic ways they interpret the Ping Pong matches.
Its like dismissing Game of Thrones because you dont like fantasy. Obviously, Game of Thrones has fantasy elements, but it isnt purely a fantasy narrative like other Fantasy Novels would be. Thats what puts it over the edge
Also, Hajime No Ippo is really good if you want generic shounen sports anime, Americans got boned by getting Eyeshield 21 (which sucks) and Prince of Tennis (which also sucks) and now there's a super strong perception against sports anime because of it. Hajime No Ippo is basically Rocky while Ping Pong is more similar to Field of Dreams. Both are sports movies but they go about their stories and progression much differently.
Also, Ping Pong has a wholly unique art style and animation too it that make it worth watching for that alone. not only thay, but the audio mixing and music are all top notch. Hell, the opening is probably one of my favorite anime openings OF ALL TIME

I do think DC is rushing into the Cinematic Universe without a solid plan. It feels like it will backfire.

That's an...interesting title
Here's hoping things accidently work out and at least we are getting a superheroine film and a Cyborg film too. Took Marvel long enough to acknowledge their minority super heroes.

I like Cyborg, but I don't think he can maintain his own movie without the Teen Titans or Justice League.

I don't care enough about Clone Wars to have an opinion on Ashoka. The whole thing was just 'meh' to me but hey, kids love it.

Ahsoka got better, i think. it took a while, though.
also i'm disappointed that my Star Wars opinions didn't stir up any shit.
DC probably doesn't want any of their stuff associated with the Adult Swim brand, except for Beware the Batman which they just don't give a fuck about.

Too bad ping pong looks like unfinished garbage regardless of how good its writing is.
Also the best sports anime is Girl Und Panzer it's a master piece of anime that should be seen by all it will literally change your life, doubly so if you watch the amazing dub
