There's no way it isn't at 12.
We don't know that, we do know they don't like changing around the line-up though so putting a long runner up top makes a certain amount of sense.

Of Season 1
Season 2 will premiere next year, with the dub likely airing in 2016.

Part of me thinks DBZ at 12 is the obvious choice, the other part feels that you have to put it in a later slot to build up audience. But then if you put it on too late, will it get enough eyeballs?
You don't need to build up an audience for DBZ

That's my point. I was trying to say you put DBZ on a little later, you should be able to keep those people watching later into the night.

Even though it's DBZ, the episodes are old compared to the other premieres.

Seda, buy Wii U Smash Bros. I'll play with you, man.
But it's not like he has a bunch of online friends who tend to be at home in front of a TV on Saturday nights.

Wait, am I the loser or are you?
That was an attempt at self-depreciation.
But seriously, Smash is just so much more enjoyable playing locally. I don't value online multi too much.

Seda pls. Join us. You too, Levyne.
...wait you can friend via miiverse for browser?
Well that settles that.
Sent. Add me as well if you haven't. I know I've added a few of you already, just haven't used my Wii U in a while. ID is same as my GAF name.
Not surprised in the least by that decision.
The real nightmare is AoT being shown twice. 4ever melodrama.

I still think AoT will slide down to after Gurren Lagann after Hellsing finishes airing so they can put a new show at 11:30, if not the weekend hellsing ends then perhaps we'll just get something as a place holder until January when a big new show takes over at 11:30. I'll be really surprised if AoT reairs completely at 11:30

I miss that series...
Hey Bamco, use that Naruto cash to get CC2 to make a new game.

Destiny was meh at most, but scratched that itch for mindless fun I suppose. I've never played a Bayo game either. The last Smash that was good was Melee anyway. It's not weird per se, just different.
I, at least, can't fault you for Destiny.

Demarco heard you guys saying "Psh, they won't air AoT again in the same slot"

Uhh we haven't even had a chance to play smash wiiu, and if smash 3ds is any indication unless you're a hard core tourney only player smash wiiu should blow it out of the water
Also "the last smash that was good was melee" there was 1 smash game between melee and smash 3ds/wiiu
What are you talking about?
Melee > Brawl
I don't have context yet on how Wii U will play, which is why I used the term "last". New Smash does look good though. I couldn't get into the demo on 3DS mainly because of how it felt playing on a 3DS as opposed to a controller so I passed on it.
Since Gurren Lagann has a tendency to introduce characters quickly, sometimes not even bothering to introduce them at all, I thought I would create this guide to help the new viewers. Nothing here is a spoiler and I've deliberately left some information out, just in case. If this is helpful I can post it again when the show airs on Saturday.

This is one the many things wrong with granlaggan, it has so many characters but yet they mostly serve as nothing more then background wallpaper.they have little to no effect on the story while simon is the most important person in it's universe and most of the rest exist to artificial fill the room.
All you need to know is
Simon = everything revolves around him everyone exist around him
Kamina = the mentor figure for the main character
Yoko = the tits...hell pay attention to her big sniper rifle it does nothing...except to make her boobs jiggle
Nia =
the damsel
story road block aka a plot device to halt story to drag it too the 2 season mark (27episodes)
The rest wallpaper at best.
I feel it's an effective horror game that gets a lot of flack because many "popular" YouTube users "ruined" it with facecam LPs screaming and acting like total asshats for views.
It's rather difficult to find decent videos of it.
I won't debate it here as there are too many people here who've not see the show to completion. I'll just say that almost every character contributes something worthwhile to the story IMO, some more than others yes, but they all have a solid role to play. Regardless of that, I find them all fun and endearing.
Saying Yoko is just tits is really insulting and just not true. Compaired to some of the characters in something like AoT, Naruto or SAO she's got far, far more depth and more of a story arc. Also, to say that Leeron doesn't contribute to the story.. Really? C'mon.
The show doesn't have a deep plot or anything but I do recognize it has more depth than you're giving it.
Why would I ever need to post to miiverse >.>
You also can't expect every character to have the same level of significance to the plot. Like, you probably shouldn't criticize a narrative for simply spending the majority of time developing around the main character. Of course, the extent to which a narrative does this can differ and be discussed, and every character should have some /reason/ for being introduced in the first place. However, some characters are going to be prominent and some are going to be supporting. You can argue why a particular character should or not be more prevalent, but a criticism of a character simply because of their importance, is pretty weak to stand on its own, really.
I kind of evaluate characters in two ways. 1.) Their character personality and motivations, and how the character may grow throughout the series. 2.) Their role in the narrative as a whole and what they contribute in plot development. There are some characters I like that really don't do much (and could probably be removed without too much hassle), but I still appreciate for some character trait or personality. Conversely, there are number of unlikable characters that exhibit a /useful/ role in a plotline.
(I should note that I oftentimes see people imply that static characters == bad and dynamic characters == good. This is simply not the case as I see it. Good characters don't necessarily have to significantly change throughout the series, and dramatic character development is not automatically good.)
I will say, up to the current point, I don't really think highly of Yoko. So far all she has contributed really is the introduction to the surface world and to Simon's funk in recent episodes. Otherwise, it seems she tags along for the simple reason that gunmen are bad and need to be stopped, and she had a crush on Kamina.
Obviously I haven't seen the series in whole so this is subject to change.
