Clearly we need to bring back Bleach!

Clearly we need to bring back Bleach!

If Bleach the manga is truly ending sooner then later then I wouldn't be surprised if a Bleach blood war arc anime was announced to finish the story for anime fans. It probably could be animated in 26 episodes.

 

[SigmasonicX]

I wonder what the new Bleach chapter is called, since they already used "THE END"
*looks*
THE END 2

Huh.

Well, at least the first page claims that the series is ending soon. Also, lol @

Spoiler

the villain getting bored and ending all of the subordinate fights.

 

[ckohler]

Just because you asked I'm not going to post it until tomorrow.

Just kidding here it is.

For all 7 people who watch it.

Good episode! It's fun listening to Seda's One Piece theories. Don't accidentally give him any hints.

I agree that One Punch Man coming to Toonami seems like it may happen considering the circumstances. I certainly hope it's that or maybe somehow My Hero Academia and not something less fun.

BTW, I noticed that the creator and director of FLCL, Kazuya Tsurumaki, will be at Anime Expo. Maybe he'll have something to share.

If they were going to do this, they would have announced it here and now.

Yeah, there's a Toonami panel and an FLCL panel, right?

More Bleach to consume!

You're right. The panel is even called "FLCL 2". We'll definitely be learning more Sunday...

Come join Maki Terashima-Furuta as she hosts the panel with Jason DeMarco from Adult Swim, introducing Kazuya Tsurumaki, the one and only original creator of "FLCL" and Mayumi Shintani, the lovely voice behind Haruko. The first 1,500 attendees will receive a complimentary FLCL poster/postcard only available at AX. This panel will follow immediately after the Production I.G panel you would not want to miss!

I hope we get some JoJo dub news at the Viz panel.

Forgot the Sentai panel, silly me.

 

[Mizerman]

Yes.

 

[B-Dubs]

Hiatus x Beyond x Hiatus.

Togashi must be a real sadist to leave us where he did, I mean shit just started getting super real. I cannot wait until this arc is finished and animated.

 

[Neoxon]

I hope we get some JoJo dub news at the Viz panel.

We already knew that Stardust Crusaders & Diamond is Unbreakable are getting dubs as of an older Viz Media panel. The question is when are we gonna get the dubs. Though if anything, I'd expect news on the Part 3 dub first, with some reaffirmation that Part 4 will receive a dub. The real question is if they'll re-dub Parts 1 & 2.

I also voice Almiria Bauduin in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-blooded Orphans" on Toonami!

Incoming Silica, Shiemi, Mako comparisons.

 

[BassForever]

Funimation just/reaquired the rights to the second half of d-gray man which they didn't dub along with the new hollow series. Would be cool to see the whole series dubbed soon.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Funimation just/reaquired the rights to the second half of d-gray man which they didn't dub along with the new hollow series. Would be cool to see the whole series dubbed soon.

The weird thing about the D.Gray-Man anime is that the first ~52 episodes are filler-bloated trash, while the last ~52 episodes are a legitimately good adaptation.

I was under the impression that they didn't dub the second half due to low sales, but I was corrected about it. However, I don't remember what the real explanation is. Does anyone remember?

 

[Jarate]

The hair designs in this Gundam have been so ridiculous.

I think half their companies budgets go into hair gel for Orca

It just wouldn't be Gundam without strange hairstyles and weird names.

 

[Hellwarden]

The anime hair in Iron Blooded Orphans is nothing.

People who have watched Shiki know what I'm talking about.

[Jarate]

I dont mind ridiculous hair styles for anime that are super cartoony, or even just relatively cartoony, but it's weird in IBO due to how gritty the show is.

 

[UltraGunner]

Every year I'm always busy around AX. I really wanted to go this year because my friends were gonna crash Inafune's panel and boo him and I really wanted to join.

You should probably be glad you didn't get the opportunity to look like a jerk in public though.

 

[Jarate]

we should all go to the sentai panel and boo them!

Spoiler

One day ill make it to a con with a toonami panel and ask them when's ping pong

I probably wouldn't do it tbh

I would like to ask some serious questions, I'd also try to invite people to the gaf thread to see if we could do an AMA or something on the topic.

Spoiler

The troll in me would want to ask him why Bleach was cancelled

 

[Line_HTX]

If I'm going to go up and ask a question, I make sure to put thought in and not look like a dumbass.

 

[BassForever]

Yeah not only do you look stupid as hell, but you waste everyone's time

 

[UltraGunner]

Yeah, those people are the worse. If I got to go up I'd ask the hard hitting questions, like which Gundam boy Demarco would like to bone.

 

[Mizerman]

Being an asshole is so cool, tho!

July Thread: Marathon x Marathon

 

[Zonic]

Listening to the ToonamiGAF podcast last night, it was a good point that the 1 a.m. slot might go to Funimation since they haven't had anything new recently (well aside from Dimension W) & it would be a good slot for the "kind of new, kind of old" show like Champloo.

Also, I'm debating if I want to watch the marathon because I have to work 6 days next week & I want to get more Tokyo Mirage Sessions played since I still have no idea when I'm getting Zero Time Dilemma (moar liek zero game dilemma).

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hey man, being a jerk in public is fucking cool.

That's an avatar quote if I ever saw one.

 

[Line_HTX]

Because Hunter Hunter is 150 episodes, no way am I watching a holiday marathon since they like to take their time with their pacing, as is what shounen does. Not that there's anything wrong with it, it works like watching OG DBZ marathons back during Weekday Toonami.

I really want Sailor Moon to come back in some fashion though.

 

[BatDan]

Soooo there's a possible video game Kickstarter scam out there, but I fear bringing it up over in Gaming as it could possibly devolve into Gamergate bullshit and fights.

Revolution 60 on PC.

An article from a backer of said game about how it hasn't come out after two years and the creator won't give any feedback about it

 

[Zonic]

Looks like they've begun filming the American Death Note film.

.......Light TURNER.....

 

[Line_HTX]

Are you kidding me...

Reminds me of when they changed Tesuo's name to Travis

It never stood a chance

 

[Zonic]

I understand the fact they have to American-ize names to reach a broader demographic, but at least ATTEMPT to be similar to the original names. Even Disney did this with Doraemon.

 

[Grexeno]

I'm not seeing the issue.
