Unless plans have changed since Momocon 2014, I'm pretty sure.Wait is this confirmed?

Someone apparently has the rights to it but we don't know who. No news of a dub yet.

In a fair and absolute world, it is.

Madoka Magic has like a 1% chance, Ping Pong has like an 0.1% chance. I doubt we'll ever see a true sports anime on Toonami unless they change it from an action cartoon block to an anime block and then we get a sports anime that rivals Attack on Titan or DBZ in terms of popularity world wide.
I actually don't take any issues with that line.
However any potential Blue Exorcist had was completely wasted and shit on
This shoe would be so good for toonami,and GAF. Just imagine so of the reaction.
Can't really talk about that without getting into spoilers.

Hard to say without them trying to air something beyond Sailor Moon/Crystal. Those shows will do well on nostalgia/brand alone.

At least they did the best with what they had.
I can't stop picturing Steve Blum's voice coming out of Gon's mouth.
His Leeron voice would be PERFECT for Hisoka.
While I don't think its likely, Madoka def has a better than 1% chance: it actually has some pretty interesting action and some "shit just got real" stuff goes down frequently. I just worry enough people might take a look at the show's art and assume its some moe show (it's NOT) and start preemptively whining or shit :/
It popular and it a shonen, it perfect for it.
It's the perfect fit though. I would love to see a Togashi hour of HxH and Yu Yu Hakusho.
But the thing is, if Toonami is in a position to put another long shounen on the block.......
I think they'd go with Fairy Tail.
Nanoha has TONS of action once you get past the first few episodes. The second seson is legit great from my recollection. However it might be an even harder sell based on artstyle/character design/etc. than something like Madoka.
Madoka is definitely famous for this. I don't know about Cardcaptor though.
Pretty sure Madoka.
I wouldn't mind rewatching it dubbed, but I gotta agree that Toonami would have to be careful on how they would promote it so people will be interested in watching it.
It was written by the Fate/Zero author, right? Maybe mention that.
Quality differences aside, HxH actually has an ending (the anime does anyways) and Fairy Tail is much longer and still running.
They should air Fate/Zero first. It's another Aniplex show with a good dub.
Nanoha would have been a near impossible sell though as it doesn't have the pedigree of Madoka or Sailor Moon. Cardcaptor is an easier sell (It was actually on TOONAMI!)
Correct. It is a decent Magical Girl show at a time when no one was bringing them out. Not a huge success in Japan, gigantic failure over here (the dub is actually pretty damn good!)

They'd have to air F/Z first for that to work
You can't really mention Fate/Zero until it's actually aired on Toonami though.
Unless I'm mistaken, Fairy Tail is a lot more popular. Maybe even more popular in the US than One Piece. I think that would give it the edge.

So wait, is it KLK then AoT then DBZ or are they putting all their new shows at the front of the block.
Fairy tale is pure shit and isn't it longer than hxh
Is it though? Hunter x Hunter is still one of the best selling manga despite being on hiatus most of the time.
The only known known is KLK at 11:30.
We're pretty much all assuming that Samurai Jack, which had four episodes left, is ending its run on the 1st of February and that Attack on Titan is sliding down somewhere around where Deadman Wonderland/Bleach is.

HxH ended at 148, Fairy Tail has episode 216 airing tomorrow and is still on going with a manga that is maybe entering end game soon?
Fairy Tail is really popular sales wise too, it's largely irrelevant though as both are incredibly popular and I can see both happening on Toonami one day. The difference is Fairy Tail has a dub that already has 100+ episodes done, HxH has no dub
From what little I've seen/read of Fairy Tail, its just the "Power of Friendship" x1000000 with some tits & pecs (more so the former) fanservice for appropriate audiences. Not really a show I would look forward to on Toonami. Of course it seems to be super popular so :/
Best selling in Japan or the US? Toonami will care about what's popular in the States and just from exposure and what I see around me, FT > HxH in popularity in the states. Is HxH popular in the States with anime fans in general or just those with taste?

I want this to happen so, so much. And I want them to do the full Smile Bomb opening for YYH because it is just the best

As much as I really want HxH, we don't need four long-runners on the block. Five if you count Bleach reruns.
Fairy Tail has better character designs and is more giffable. Plus it's got that Uncle Phil factor that TOONAMI was missing recently. Now we have Kill la Kill we can hold off on that for awhile.
Also Kill la Kill means that SAO two is probably 26 weeks from the beginning of February, give or take a holiday or two. School is back in session, only on TOONAMI.
Jaken shall still appear for whenever Final Act is on.
Of course, the earliest time we will get either HxH or FT on the block is when DBZ ends.
HxH would replace Bleach of course
Rock Lee and his Ninja pals should replace Bleach for ultimate justice.

Hunter x hunter has a shit of Gif moment and does fariy tale have good design,it been s while since I read it.
Stahp
HxH is garbage. Couldn't finish one episode! Made it like 80 something into Fairy Tail and that show delivers the goods (and the bads, and the friendship)

How many girls with big boobs do we see in the first episode of HxH? How many do we see in FT? I think the argument speaks for itself
