It is a good a guess as any as Funimaton alone has enough to fuel weeks of speculation.
Still, it would be nice from a risk perspective, been awhile since Toonami really surprised us with a series.
I wouldn't mind seeing Birdy on Toonami. But yeah, low chance at best.

If Final Act is going to air right before Parasyte reruns, I'll have a reason to sleep a half-hour earlier.
Just realized the name "Iron Blood" makes no sense because iron is a material needed for hemoglobin, which is the protein in red blood cells that helps make oxygen & 70% of the body's iron is used on hemoglobin, which averages between 12 to 15.5 grams per deciliter of blood.
....so technically, we're all iron blooded. Are they special because they're orphans?
Unless they suffer from hemochromatosis, but I guess that isn't as catchy of a name.

nah if we want to see how something would do with a risk perspective lets put something like rosario to vampire on the air
the reactions to that would be great lol.
it is an ecchi show, and feels like one, but it doesn't have quite as much panties and boob shots as other ones.
it was just the first one I could think of that off the top of my head wouldn't need to be heavily censored like something like highschool dxd would.

Champloo was actually off the air longer than Toonami was cancelled for
Not even remotely close, and I wasn't a huge Final Act fan.
It's nowhere near SAO, or Beware the Batman, or even Shippuden.

OH FUCK NO
I'm resisting the urge to think of all the different gifs I could make via Frinkiac for Toonami.
Bums me out I no longer have FXX, need to take the time & money to buy Seasons 2 through...I guess 11 or 12 on DVD.
Also WUT, I'll take Champloo over Final Act any day. For one thing, the pacing for both shows are completely different.

It's how I honestly feel actually. Never been overly impressed with Champloo. I think the show it replaced (Michiko and Hatchin) is better as well. The only outstanding part of Champloo was the music.

It's okay, Man God. There's nothing bad about having a wrong opinion.
As one of the few resident Michiko fans in this thread: nope.

Not even been a month and this thread has already descended into insanity.
To be fair, part of the reason why I don't like Final Act is because I just never cared for Inuyasha in the first place. But the original series feels a bit too slow for me (plus gets repetitive at times with THERE'S A VILLAGE, THERE'S A DEMON, IS THERE A JEWEL SHARD, TIME TO MOVE ON), then Final Act has the opposite problem of being too fast.

As someone who was equally disappointed in both Final Act and Michiko & Hatchin I actually find the discussion of which is a better show interesting. Both are messy in different ways and both should have been a lot better then they ultimately were. As a stand alone reair I'd probably rather rewatch Michiko and Hatchin, but I found more satisfaction in the ending of Final Act because it paid off on an emotional level that had built up across nearly 200 episodes of InuYasha including the original anime.
I guess I'd go something like
All of InuYasha original anime + Final Act > Michiko and Hatchin > Final Act as a stand alone thing

Yeah, those episodes were getting painful to watch. The pacing in the original was terrible.

Final Act is okay.
It has some rough episodes, but I still enjoyed it.
I think most people enjoyed the parts set in the present.

Birdy is probably an inevitable Aniplex acquisition so Funimation likely has no motivation to promote it with a TV airing. So yeah, near zero chance.
Which is sad because Birdy season 2 would be a great show for the block.
You turned your back on the fans!
*Awkward camera tilt*
Yup. Oh well.

DeMarco's ask.fm says Final Act's listing was a mistake btw
Ooooh, well that helps my future schedules.
I'd be down to watch some Gundam for the first time in my life. Giant Robots have never done anything for me, but I'll give this a few episodes to win me over
shhhh don't ruin the discussion

Every time I see Demarco's new title, I have to wonder if the ROM Space Knight movie will have anything decent in it. All the stuff that made ROM a cult character is with Marvel, so they're basically going to have to build EVERYTHING from the ground up. Considering the "original" idea of a movie universe based on 80's toys with mostly obscure franchises, I have no hope.
Thank god for this
Hey guys...

Depressing. Are we also not getting The Oblongs? Because I might actually cry.
Hey guys...
This is a weird page!
I'd love final act in the rerun block spot. I just enjoy Inuyasha there. Ending the night with a show of a classic manga feels good.
I agree with BassForever's assessment of FA/Champloo.
I don't see how M&H could meet or beat Champloo. It doesn't leave as nice an impression per episode, the impact isn't as strong, and both shows put new spins on tired concepts... but Champloo just does it in a fresher way.
I could see one liking M&H more than Casshern Sins tho...
