Huh?
"In 3 weeks, Naruto Shippuden will be in HD. Has Viz already sent you guys HD tapes?"
"Strictly speaking, we dont have tapes no more."
WELP NO MORE SHIPPUDEN, KILL LA KILL CONFIRMED FOR MIDNIGHT.
....................unless they were sarcastic & meant no VHS tapes....

They are being pedantic because they don't want to answer the question.
"If you can point us to a good, very action heavy girlier anime, well be more likely to air it!"
Sailor Moon confirmed to not be action heavy or girly.
& DBZ: Battle of Gods rights weren't available. Maybe they'll get it this year if Broly was the most viewed movie of 2014?

Sailor Moon has built in nostalgia force like DBZ where it's not an issue
The fans will probably point them in that direction, been saying that a really good dark horse candidate.
On he other hand Ping Pong has even less of a chance then I thought, unless they really dig that artstyle.

They just lost an hour of programming due to low ratings you think they'd risk airing a sports anime when far more popular series have tanked?
I am with you on this one. I will explain later in my reviews.
Precure!
I think they had Eyeshield 21 as well, but that might've been online-only via Jetstream.
Who even owns the rights to Precure?
I heard Saban got them, but apparently that fell through just like "Power Rider".
Good point... I hear that Europe loves Captain Tsubasa, but sports series are essentially non-existent here.

kinda sucks that the poor selection for Movie Month (and consequently the poor ratings) ended up ruining the fun for everyone, though I imagine we'll still get movies or specials or something the last two weeks of December regardless

Someone asked when they would air Cowboy Bebop and GitS...
He probably means "old" in that these shows aired a long time ago in Japan.
Last night's Shippuden premiered in 2008
Last night's One Piece in 2006
Last night's Final Act in 2009
Though if this is that guy's idea of old, he'd lose his shit if Toonami started airing Getter Robo or Fist of the North Star.
Is there a reason why Bleach skipped 5 episodes after the Month of Movies?
Yes. Unavoidable legal/contract ones. Sorry about that.
How is the Toonami online comic coming along?
It will release as a part of Intruder 2!
Will Dragon Ball Z Kai remain at 11:30 or is that just temporarily?
Thats the plan for the foreseeable future. But plans change. But right now we have no plans for change.
Did Attack On Titan reruns starting off the block hurt the block more than helped?
Sadly, this appears to be true.
Kill la Kill isn't playing at 11:30 anymore? If not, that kind of sucks.
Were not sure when it will be airing, but either way, itll be okay.
Are you planning to air Naruto Shippuden for 7 years?
As long as we have new ones! We certainly aired Bleach for a while, didnt we?
Can you pick up more shorter series like Gurren Lagaan, Deadman Wonderland, Kill la Kill, FLCL, Samurai 7, Casshern Sins, Black Lagoon, Space Dandy, etc.?
You just named a bunch of shorter series. Seems like were doing pretty well in that department.
Hey I hate to ask but could you play Akira again sometime soon?
We wont be playing it again any time soon, sorry.
Will Summer Wars air ever again?
Its possible!
Intruder 2 and the Toonami comic? When?
When theyre ready!
Did the month of movies do as well as you'd hoped this year?
No, it kinda didnt.
What are the most demanded shows for Toonami? Like a top five, out of curiosity.
Right now its:
Attack on Titan Season Two
Sword Art Online Season Two
Kill La Kill
Sailor Moon
Anything Gundam
Considering Funimation is working on simultaneous dubbing now, is it possible for us to have another Space Dandy-like series in the future?
We sure hope so!
Roughly how long does it take to create a new set of bumpers for the entire line-up? Does that take less time than a music video, a line-up promo or game review?
Game Review is typically the fastest, a couple of days for editing. More for capturing. Its for sure the fastest if you dont count setting the game up to the right spot and recording it. Music video usually takes the most time. Several weeks. Sometimes longer. Line up promos and bumps are roughly the same. A week or two typically.
Is it possible that Death Note can air on Toonami?
Not likely, sorry.
Are you guys going to momocon this year? I really enjoyed meeting you guys last year.
Its looking pretty likely!
Which show last year was the most well received?
Attack on Titan, tied with DBZ
Do you plan on airing One Piece for infinity+1 years? FOR IT WILL NEVER END
Well air it as long as people watch it!
It seems like from the earlier questions that you aren't doing so good right now ratings-wise. I know you tell your fans not to worry about that, but I can't help but worry....
We arent goin anywhere, but the ratings have not been up to snuff as far as the network is concerned, of late!
How do you as a group, choose what anime will air after another anime finishes?
Our head of programming, Kim Manning, sits down with us and we look at lists of available shows and bring our ideas of any shows we dont currently have the rights to and want to research. Then its a complex mix of how much the show costs, where the rights are, how quickly a deal can be made, if the show needs edits, etc.
Is there any hope of another movie month any time soon? Or at least an occasional movie thrown into the mix? I always enjoy them.
There wont be another one soon, but we like to mix things up once in a while!
When you said sailor moon was requested did you mean regular sailor moon or sailor moon Crystal?
Sailor Moon Crystal, yes.
Will we ever see gundam in the line up in any form again?
We would be happy if you do! No plans as of yet. Those rights a real gorgonzola knot.
Will we still be having a month of movies in December 2015 or is that unlikely?
Possible, but unlikely.
Any chance of completely taking over the 11 ' oclock hour
We dont see that happening any time soon.
Are you hoping to be able to do more Anime premieres like how it was with Space Dandy? I must say that was a thrill ride knowing that it first appeared in America rather than Japan and I'm hoping you have plans to do more anime premieres like that!
Wed definitely like to do something like that again.
Has the recent cutback affected the year's budget or surprises at all?
No, we still get lots of surprises.
Yes. Unavoidable legal/contract ones. Sorry about that.

That's what happens when you blow your budget and re-air the same stuff we've already seen. Bonehead move in my opinion, that set the tone for the poor ratings we've had.
I would actually go back further and say that the bungling on Hellsing Ultimate is the core cause for this series of unfortunate events, well one of the big ones. The Attack on Titan rerun idea is just kind of its own thing.
BassForever
Member
I think it's a mix of both
Indeed, but in the case of Hellsing, mind you some gap filling is going on here, they only get the first 8 episodes. That event forces them to spend more on finishing the saga late which I think hurt its ratings and also forced up Final Act early. If we go with the idea that Final Act was supposed to be a 2015 show, this was going to be the program that gave energy to January and draw people back in after the holidays. In addition to draining the resources needed for a fresh month of movies.

Also the reason why the Clydes only got shown once were due to a hard drive crash apprently.

Meanwhile at Toei:
Watching this makes me more aware where Sailor Moon Crystal and Attack on Titan went so wrong.
Why does Toei have consistently shit animation now a days. It's especially noticeable when you go back and watch older One Piece.

i always thought the art for the One Piece anime looked really flat and bad; it got better when the show went HD.
Is it popular? Seems like they wouldn't have went with an anime only ending if that was the case.
Water 7, Enies, and the next 2 major arcs are when it looks best but it really starts to go downhill when
we get past Sabaody.
I dunno about its popularity but they likely went for the anime only ending for other reasons as well.
I think the current arc looks alright, but the art style in general I thought was better
pre timeskip
It's really disheartening that not only is Kill la Kill not going to be on at 11:30 but that they STILL don't know what time it will air at. How can they not know this?! It's going to air in less than two weeks, right? Unless they mean they don't know what DATE it will premiere.

I has many of the elements that makes anime popular over here. In Japan, Akame Ga Kill failed in its mission to sell more manga and thus only gets the two cour season.
Ratings this week will judge where it will be placed on the block.
BassForever

It's never been that popular in Japan, it's always been more popular with western audiences it has a pretty high rate of people reading scans and it did very well for Crunchyroll simulcast. The problem is as Shard mentioned above in Japan the anime did nothing to boost manga sales therefore the anime was basically given a filler ending so that it could have an ending. Also about AgK's anime ending versus manga
apparently word on the street is the anime team got a rough outline of the planned manga finale kind of like Trigun hence why a few things that happened in the anime have more or less happened in the manga

Ratings for this week will decide where it goes.
