So which episode of GITS was on tonight anyway
Not when you're Space DandyRobots can't turn zombie! It defies all laws of logic!
The first half is Day of the Dead, second half is Dawn of the Dead.This fucking music. I feel like i'm watching some badass 80's movie.
If post-modern, authentic-atomospheric marketing that no one else has done in a long time doesn't at least perks your interest, I have no idea what will.I still have no interest in the new Godzilla movie.

Have you see Titan?The Titan Hype is unstoppable!
Bi-monthly Q&A, same stupid questions.
Anonymous Asked: What prompted the change from having the FAQ held monthly to bi-monthly? I don't remember seeing any sort of announcement about this change before it just not showing last month.
What prompted it was that a) the staff was just too busy and b) we were getting a lot of redundant questions.

deafeningleebrilliant Asked: Do you guys watch your anime in Japanese with eng subs, or do you wait for the DVD release? Or better yet, do you guys speak Japanese and just watch them straight from Japan? How much thought goes into picking your line up?
We do not speak Japanese. We watch things dubbed if we can get them, subbed otherwise. A lot of thought goes into picking our lineup.
finalflame400 Asked: Black lagoon is too censored for me to enjoy it. Can you air it uncut with Full F bombs?
You hear the eff word a lot on commercial TV, do you? No, you dont. Its called the FCC and we cant run that word and still have a network. But if your entire enjoyment of a show is based around hearing a swear word

jeargumedo Asked: Already asked this but it seems like questions get lost in the inbox with the rest of them, so sorry if you see this twice. What prompted the return of Ninja Tune music to Toonami? What was their reaction to returning to the block?
Thats actually a long and complicated story we cant share. But were happy to be using Ninja for the present!
Anonymous Asked: When selecting intro music for each show, do you take any into any consideration what arc/storyline each show is currently showing? For example, choosing Incredible Odyssey for One Piece, during the Water 7 arc I thought added some additional foreshadowing towards the storyline.
While wed like to look cool and say yes, really that decision is almost always down to our editors who cut those, just trying to find a track they think works well with the footage!
ultrathunderstorm Asked: Will Toonami stay on the air forever?
No, nothing will stay on the air forever. Except Law and Order and The Simpsons.
Anonymous Asked: This is a Little late but Toonami and Steven Universe had the same song in one of their promos. Did you guys not know this was going to happen or is it because Jason DeMarco controls promotions for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim?
CN actually has access to all the music you hear on Adult Swim, they just dont normally use it.

xxkawaiislayerxx Asked: I'm not trying to sound rude, but how did you guys not notice Inuyasha was about to end until a week before it did?
It was something our lawyers notified us of, and we had no idea there was a set end date coming up. We took over Toonami years after that deal had been made. We never like to do something like that.
Jesus fucking christ did someone just say Toonami's narrator sounds like shit?
