I wanna see the reactions from Code Geass.

Seed Destiny is the bad one to real fans, Victory is the bad one according to the half ass fans.
We will get that when season 3 gets dubbed.

00 Season Two is far worse.

I have that whole series on DVD and I keep forgetting it exists.
Hey 00 season 2 is at least shorter!
I'll trade you a Klondike bar for it
I wonder if Sunrise would even release it here, let alone release it with the original dub. Really wish more '90s anime would get the HD treatment, super glad Outlaw Star got it & the fact we'll get to see it on Toonami.
Someone needs to go find the original masters of Fist of the North Star, because that first movie looks rather good for the most part, until the super violence kicks in & it shifts from DVD quality to bootleg VHS looking.

The level of fuckery in Code Geass would make it a perfect group watching experience. You pretty much have to watch it with this mentality:

Sunrise is generally pretty good with dubs. So maybe.
The despite being Sentai, the Ushio and Tora dub isn't horrible. It looks like they put a modicum off effort into it.

Ushio and Tora to Toonami pls

Ushio and Tora to Toonami pls
And it aired on US TV, too!
Those were the fun times of Adult Swim Action. Though given hindsight, I'm so glad the Toonami experiment worked out.
I would totally be up for an hour of reruns if it meant one show was an older show followed by something that aired more recently, i.e. within the post-revival Toonami.
I just wonder what older shows aside from Cowboy Bebop got the HD treatment that they could air. Did Trigun ever get upscaled? That would make for a great groupwatch.

Rewatched Code Gass recently. Honestly, I find R2 much more entertaining than the first season, and even the Code Trainwreck parts are legitimately interesting when you already know what's going on.
Vision of Escaflowne got a remaster from Funimation and Toonami wanted to get it back in the day.
Gundam Wing is getting a remaster.

Would an airing of G Gundam HD happen with the og dub?
WITH THE HELP OF KYOJI!!!!!!!

The Leaf Village had the potential to become a really fun setting.
There's no edited or added lines so yeah, they totally could just reuse the old dub.
Gundam Wing has a remaster. It was one of Sunrise's early remasters, though, so it's not as good as their recent ones.
Apparently, the reason they took so long with G Gundam's remaster was because they wanted to make it really good. Which they did!
Looking at older Toonami shows, there's really not much I see as "omg they really should bring this back" or "omg I'd love to rewatch this with a group."
Maybe Evangelion? But I feel like a good majority of us already seen it & it aired soooo often on Adult Swim Action.
The only other show I could see them doing is maybe Big O but we got that during the 3 hour rerun half of the block when Toonami came back.
I guess Wing could return since it'd fit DeMarco's "I always want Gundam to be on the block" goal.

I was talking more of shows that were on Toonami pre-cancellation, but yes, that's obviously one that I can see hitting the block at around 2 a.m. since DeMarco really wanted it back in the day & the HD remaster + Funimation dub would make it a "new" show, especially since they could take a shot at Fox by being all "UNCUT ON TV FOR THE FIRST TIME"
I guess Wing could return since it'd fit DeMarco's "I always want Gundam to be on the block" goal.
The lore in Naruto is decent. Everything else...
Yea, I think he's better off expanding that to "I'd always like a giant robot show to be on the block" because there's been some really good ones made over the last decade or so.
I would greatly prefer this just to have more variety & not be stuck with different versions of space politics.
I think G Gundam and Wing about equally likely to come on the block. G Gundam has an advantage of being different and thus avoiding potential Gundam fatigue, Wing has the advantage of getting a remaster dub disc release. (Though, on the other hand, Toonami could just bill themselves as the sole place to get the G Gundam HD dub premier, like with Super, Jojo, and HxH.)
The whole thing about Wing being bigger than G back in the day isn't very important, because people now hold both of them in high nostalgic regard. I don't think Toonami would distinguish them like that.

Yes, please.

we already had ttgl so it's only going to be downhill
I do think G would hold up better given it's a totally different kind of Gundam story. Nostalgia will only get Wing so far.
There's still Full Metal Panic.
G Gundam alone is like 50 episodes long, so it'd be like...2 or 3 years? by the time they're done with all the major old shows.
look at this guy
boo this guy
50 episodes is a little more than a year. Given there's a second rerun slot for seemingly older shows that either never got a proper run or are getting an HD rerun it's not a huge issue.
Gimme G Gundam over any of the other Gundams. G Gundam at least looks like fun & getting right to the robot fighting with a super simple premise of "PEOPLE USE GIANT ROBOTS TO DECIDE WHICH COUNTRY WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD, AWESOME BATTLES ENSUE" with its hilarious over-the-top dub.
I wanted to rewatch some Jojo Part 4, but it decided to play only ads from one company, & played the exact same ad twice in the same ad break, so I had to see it 3 times during one episode. Not even Toonami gets that bad with its anti-smoking, pizza eating, insurance saving ads.
