Toonami is BACK

It's going to be in the current Saturday night anime slot. There have been blank spaces on the schedule starting next week in between Bleach, FMA, and Bebop for a few weeks now.
I think they might try and get Gundam 00 or Gundam Seed instead of Wing again.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they added Robotech too, if only because Macek wants to keep those copyrights.

They should get stuff like Highschool of the Dead and Baccano and what not.
I didn't watch Toonami for as long as most people here probably did, but I'm still excited. I'm curious if they intend to bring this back as a day-time slot aimed at younger viewers or if they're going to give part of Adult Swim's timeslot and aim solely for the nostalgia market. I'm not sure how Toonami would fare in the late-night, but it'd be harder for me to watch if it's on in the afternoon. I suspect that's true for a lot of people who have gone to college or graduated and gotten a job since 2008.
But you know what? I don't even care about that right now. I'm gonna go mark the 26th on my calendar.
And I second the hope for shows like Gurren Lagann and Baccano!

What's the problem?
Everything needs to be new. Fuck the nostalgia noise

IM READY
Gundam 00 was on Syfy and Gundam Seed tanked when it was on Cartoon Network. If they're calling it Toonami, it'll be either Wing, OG Mobile Suit Gundam, or no Gundam at all.

bullshit.
yeah it's back in name only.
they'll never show anime like they used to, cartoon network likes the cheaper domestic stuff.

G Gundam would be an awesome show to kick off with. So many shows to revive, this is gonna be great! (if its not a troll)
I love the subtleness of it.
Someone needs to pitch me.I always looked forward to walking home from school in time to watch Toonami.
Cromartie High School ranks pretty high on the insanity meter. As for Gundam, I didn't care for Gundam Seed and 00. Those shows had good animation, but the plots were stupid and I didn't like how overly-powerful the Gundam's were. I saw the first two episodes of Unicorn and the plot already sounds lame and some of the character names are downright stupid. At least G Gundam didn't take itself seriously. Already rewatched Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star, and Yu Yu Hakusho (Dark Tournament).

Well, half of those are definite. Bleach, Fullmetal, and Bebop are all scheduled for those slots (which are new timeslots for FMA and Bebop). The other 3 spots are blank. There's NO chance that one of them is not DBZ.
Ye of little faith.

I can't be the only one to feel old now that a block of animation aimed at 10-17 year old boys is now aimed at men in the 20s, can I?

Honestly thats what I wanted to say, but last time I said that in front of my friends back in early april they all turned into blood-thirsty honey badgers and mauled the shit out of me.
It was a weird day.
EDIT- They should get that new Lupin show on the block.That show is rad

What is so exciting about watching shows during a block on TV that you can already watch on DVD, online service, elsewhere etc?
Is it just a nostalgia thing?

Toonami is pretty much guaranteed to have Bleach, FMA Brotherhood, and Cowboy Bebop. That leaves three more shows to fill out the block. DBZ likely isn't possible due to Disney. I can see them going either two classic, one new, or one classic, two new. Honestly I'd rather have one classic, two new. Maybe bring back Gundam Wing or Outlaw Star, then use the other two spots for something like Tiger & Bunny or Panty & Stocking.
