On the bright side I think Psycho-Pass is still tied up with Netflix

You would probably succeed in him making it company policy to never ever air anything Jarate likes ever again.
I imagine they'll dub Stardust Crusaders first, then make a decision about Parts 1 and 2.
If I ever go to a con where a Toonami panel exists. Im gonna ask him when's ping pong during the Q&A
Id then ask him why Bleach is cancelled
I would imagine Part 3 would get aired first since that's the most popular with the US audience (hell, it was the only one we knew of for a long time). Plus, as much as Part 2 was great, I have a bad feeling some people would get turned off having to watch the first few episodes of Part 1, which are NOWHERE NEAR representations of Jojo as a whole.
Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's just a bit slow & they pail in comparison to what happens later in the series. I like to think of Part 2 as a more realized version of Hamon from Part 1 & giving in more to the "bizarre" aspects.
I've heard some people try to watch Jojo starting with Part 1 & not getting into it, mainly with those first two or three episodes, but as soon as Part 2 started, they were hooked.
I hope they keep the VAs from that test dub, it turned out rather good & I want Patrick Seitz to ham it up when he finally gets to go all-out as Dio. Plus they could use Toonam as a dub premiere.
No way that happens
I didn't see your Twitter unless you said the same thing every time, lol

Naruto canon again. Finally.
DBZ Kai is most definitely going to be replaced by either a rerun of DBZ Kai, or an unrated viewing of DB Super.
If Jojo gets on air, then so be it, it's more contained stories within the same universe rather then following the same characters for 10 years
Remember, Ping Pong is only 11 episodes...

Ive never tweeted before, and my twitter only exists because I had to follow the radio station and show I interned for.

DBZ Kai will get replaced by DBZ Buu Kai, which will get replaced by DB Super (could potentially run for hundreds of episodes.)
Dragon Ball is here to stay
Yeah would be legit shook it buu kai doesn't replace kai

If JoJo tanks (Dio forbid), then they can leave off after any of the parts since they're mostly self-contained.
They should air Jojo Part I because:
Ah I see. Thanks
LOL NO
This guy get it <3
It did (when did you stop watching?)
- It's good
- It's short
- It sets up Part III well. I think Part III suffers if you haven't seen Part I
- It's fucking awesome <3

I mean we basically know Psycho Pass would have aired on Toonami had Netflix not outbid them for the show. Also despite what anime gaf thinks of the series it's still really popular with the anime mass audience.
So, the only reason Jojo seems like a good idea to me (having not seen it) is because everyone here raves about it.
One Punch Man is my personal pick. It would make for an epic group watch.
I know nothing about Psyco Pass but it looks kinda generic. Is it really something we want after the string of generic anime we've had recently?

I am aware of that.
There is literally no reason whatsoever to not start Jojo at Part 1 aside from arcane legal mumbo jumbo. It's short, it establishes the entire franchise, it directly sets up both Parts 2 and 3, it has the most meme-able moment in the entire series (in episode 1!), and it's a completely new franchise to Toonami.
It got way better after the movie retellings. the Resurrection F arc was poo poo, but everything after has been good.
Reasons to not start with Part 1:
1. Early episodes will more than likely bore a large amount of the audience
2. Doesn't have Stands
3. Part 3 will probably get a Viz dub first
I legit don't understand how people think Part I is "boring". It's better than a good chunk of the shonen that has aired on Toonami. Shit starts going down from episode 1 and barely lets up. It's only like 9 fucking episodes. I'd even say its better than some stretches of Part III. I feel people are arguing a problem that doesn't exist.

I feel that the slowness of the first few episodes of JJBA is very overstated. We already have a crazy "final battle" in the third episode, and there are several memorable moments in the first few episodes, mainly of Dio being a dick.
All Toonami needs to do is emphasize in their commercial that the battle with Dio lasts generations, and show brief shots of Joseph and Jotaro. Though they probably wouldn't do that.

I would genuinely be surprised if anything else happened.
I know I certainly enjoyed Parts 1 and 2. And honestly, with a franchise like Jojo, it feels less like getting a 26 episode series and more like getting a long runner. I mean, right now, counting Part 4, that's 75+ episodes if all seasons are possible.

JoJo had the best idea ever for a battle shonen of soft rebooting every couple of years and no one has stolen it for over 30 years.

Also part one is unskippable. It's the absolute pinnacle of manly anime. So many tears shed.
Well, it was only about 5 volumes to begin with. Meanwhile, Parts 3 & beyond were 16+ volumes.
I'm not saying Part 1 is BAD or anything, it's just when you're someone like me who's read/seen all 7 parts & keeping up with Part 8, it's just not high on the "favorite Jojo part" list.
I'm fine with rewatching it, I just hope people don't skip out on Parts 2 & beyond because Part 1 isn't doing anything for them.
Tonight on Toonami, we double dip on DBZ as Goku is back in the game and the Saiyans focus on powering up to stop Cell's path of destruction, the Hunter candidates who survived Phase One's grueling endurance run find themselves faced with a new test in Phase Two that will evaluate a completely different and unexpected skillset entirely, Jin learns Spike's lesson in how to be like water while Mugen and Fuu are reunited with Sara, Shippuden returns from its long filler nightmare to focus on its true protagonist Sasuke as Orochimaru decides the time is right to take Sasuke's body as his own, Inuppe the penguin dog zombie stands his ground to protect Nami but it's not long before Lola appears to hunt down Nami for stealing Absalom's heart, and Migi turns Shinichi into Spider-Man.

Yeah, I feel like the first few episodes of JJBA are more interesting than the first few of HxH. The real danger is that HxH is fairly familiar in its story beats (at the start) while JJBA starts off more like a soap.
Wouldn't mind watching DB again.
