Considering how well Bleach did during terrible filler... and DBZ/Kai is far more popular then Bleach could ever hope to be... yeah DBZ Kai is gonna do just fine

I'm still thinking that the current Toonami ceiling is 1.5mil. Kai might break that, but I'm not seeing much more than that.

I think it'll do Titan/Dandy numbers at first, maybe a bit more, then dive a bit when everyone realizes it's not as good as the abridged version. :p

Lol as I mentioned before, abridged pacing has spoiled me

To be fair, Bleach filler consisted of new premiering episodes. Kai, though uncut, is still stuff most everyone has seen already.

The ratings for Cooler Revenge will be able to give us some actual data of how much weight the DBZ name holds and I am interested to see those numbers.

The writing's spoiled me more. Abridged is just so funny and self-aware of all the bullshit in the series that it's completely ruined DBZ for me.

Holy shit Black Dynamite gives Black Lagoon a run for it's money in the bleep department.

I never got into this show despite loving the live action movie.
 
Just got home. Will update with con impressions later but it was generally awesome.
It was only my second convention ever.
The panel was awesome and so was the one before it. ANIMANIACS CAST! SONGS and everything!

On to the Toonami related pics:
Tom mini statue: Only 2 exist. One in Demarco's office. Someone also created a Tom poster for Jason.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
*reads latest Shokugeki no Soma* You know, if an anime is made, I think it would be perfect for Toonami.

TheAbsolution is really nice too. Glad we met.

Couldn't help but crack up at your microphone questions though, haha.

I was focusing so hard on making sure I didn't forget my second question that I forgot my first one. You have to admit It was a good one though.
That Intruder video was fucking HYPE. I can't wait until next year. =/
The crowd went wild for that teaser. The room was filled with fans.

Those stupid ratings and moving the block to weekdays questions though. Lol

I prefer Gohan's new voice.

Also prepare your soul. your Dragon Soul

Every DVD set has a new version of the song. Some are great (see above) some are AWFUL.

Vic > the rest. Sean's sounds a bit loopy but I dig it. The others are kinda meh.

Dragon Soul > Rock the Dragon > Head Cha-La

I always wanted to get into black dynamite, but since I didnt catch it from the beignning and always catch random episodes, I havent committed to it, ofcourse im assuming it has a more overarching plot even if it was episodic or not like boondocks

The movie was fantastic, but it didn't really translate all that well into a weekly show. There are some good moments here and there, just not enough to make it as good as the Boondocks or some of the other Adult Swim shows.

You actually were talking to Levyne more than me. Probably got us mixed up.
I actually always felt this would be the case if I ever met you guys in real life lol

That's sad to hear.

I liked that episode of Black Dynamite. It has an interesting visual style, good music, and it seems like it has the same cast from the movie doing the voiceovers.

It's the same cast as the movie.
Though I think this might be an alternate reality or something since Honey Bee looks different from the movie and
Bull Horn and Cream Corn are alive
