They didn't have the attention span for Black Lagoon. Monster...would probably do them in.
Lack of Family Guy lead in.

Nope, double that with the whole story told in a non linear style and I think the AS audience would bail on it
It's too nonlinear for the average viewer. As much as I think we'd have fun with it, the whole thing would just wind up like Black Lagoon. People have shitty taste so we can't have nice things.

Unless there's a bunch of flashing lights, the general Toonami audience has an attention span of six seconds.
Plus the average viewer has shit taste anyway.

Baccano at 2:30 am would be really difficult to follow for first time viewers.
Still what I would give just for the reactions episode by episode.

Baccano is already pretty difficult to follow at a rate of one per week, regardless of the time
It also ran on a network called Chiller, Viz brought Monster over to the US. Though oddly enough looking it up on Wikipedia it did air on Funimation Channel as well, which is very odd to say the least. While it was from what I understand the biggest hit on Ani-Mondays, it did terribly on DVD, to the point where Viz stopped releasing it and let the license expire.

It could, how many other big anime are out there dubbed and not on toonami that could draw in an audience? Sailor moon uncut and dbz kai power hour would truly be a return of the king and queen

If you're a fan of non-XXX rated films, serendipitous mini-stories,eccentric-yet-sappy love stories, the dark side of the American dream, and this...well, then you should be excited! =D
Yep because I'm not exactly sure what that is about.
Well, after 2nd impact, that's not saying much.

Some were attempting #JusticeForGanta...I have no idea if that is awesome or horrible.People love bitch G tits and candy
Why do we keep making them?
I have no idea what exactly kept me watching but I'm glad I did.
What I know for sure though is that Cowboy Bebop and Metal Gear Solid 2 solidified my interest in voice actors; what a time to be 13.
If like America right now, naw.
How do you kill Aku without being a god? Jack defeated him in the cemetery and it still wasn't enough.
Having it take place in the American Empire would actually put some faith in the project as they no longer will be the appearance of white washing or shoehorning Japanese juxpliation into a Western-driven adaption and it would be actual world building.
I still don't know how to feel about this movie. It seems Spielburg is a big fan of the original movie, so maybe they'll do their best to try & stick with the source material. But I still fear the movie as a whole isn't going to be good. Doesn't help the director hasn't done anything great & the script writer hasn't done much.
What I hate the most is that if it turns out bad, the people who never saw/heard of GitS will think "Damn, this sucked, why should I bother researching about this series more?" and they won't bother to watch the better, original stuff while fans will obviously be mad in how the source material was treated.
I have no idea what the plot is going to be and I have no idea if it's going to be dumbed down or not. Like, the best case scenario would be mediocre if going down that root because I have no idea if Hollywood is going to allow long-winded, laser-focused conversations to be filmed. Like, that stuff is as important as all the all tech that goes on in that series. Doesn't help us Westerners just have different sensibilities. Philosophy is an universal trait but nationality is also an important aspect so I have no idea how they are going to do this precisely with an Western cast of a series that makes Japan's problems a big deal. I mean, what, the writer is going to find comparisons to the West's or whatever place the movie takes place' traits to Japan and convey them in a highly complex manner (and assuming it makes sense)?
It's funny that blackhat film is coming out. Why I say this? Because, from a representation of professionals being professionals, Michael Mann would the perfect director in regards of this situation, it's just too bad he's making a story like that set in modern times then in the future where hackers who also have an army of goons would then actually seem like a real thing then right now. That still leaves out all the intellectual themes but that is another topic.
Is it true we are skipping episodes?
Episode 284 aired on November 29th.
Bleach didn't air at all during December.
Episode 290 aired on January 3rd.

They don't think anyone cares enough about Bleach to care about skipping a few episodes and they would be right in that assumption. Besides, we didn't really miss all that much did we?
Nobody cares. Just a random oddity.

They're usually out on Tuesday evenings. Pucci or his source has been slipping lately.
I was able to watch episode 12.
Well, I can't watch Episode 1 because of the paywall. Episode 12 also doesn't work for me.
