I just don't see them getting another endless battle shonen when they already have the cream of the crop. Basically I am expecting Sailor Moon instead.

Yeah you're probably right, that would bring in the nostalgia crowd and would be uncut

Also apparently the repeat of Attack on Titan is free, it staying at 11:30 makes sense

 

[B-Dubs]

Come to think of it, do we have any idea who picked up HxH yet?

 

[Man God]

Hmm, that statement about Hellsing Ultimate being a response to the fans wanting more darker stuff makes me wonder if the 2:30 AM show will be another "darker" show as well, like with Black Lagoon.

Inuyasha: Final Act will run with the full open on the night of the premiere and have a shortened open thereafter.

This is fine as the opening of Final Act never changes.

EDIT: Someone asked about Bleach.

 

[Moaradin]

Nope.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Sentai incoming?

Other then Sentai who out there would they be able to get rights to air anime from? Rightstuf with Gundam?

Rightstuf doesn't have broadcast rights, and he said that generally you need a US distributor to put something on TV

 

[Man God]

Rightstuf doesn't have broadcast rights, and he said that generally you need a US distributor to put something on TV

They worked directly through Bandai in Japan for a lot of their older deals so if anyone could get Gundam on the air without a US distributor right now, it would be TOONAMI. There's no point without a dub though, or a Blu-Ray edition to sell of an older show at the very least.

 

[Zonic]

We should be hearing the movie month schedule "soon-ish".

Also, someone REALLY doesn't want Toonami to air Guilty Crown.

if i remember correctly that was mainly because they knew a guy at Bandai America

This person has clearly watched Guilty Crown.

I mean at least it shows Bandai/Sunrise is willing to talk about Gundam in the US again

Yep, has to be dubbed

 

[Man God]

Oh I personally think it's impossible to get anything done with the franchise right now, but if anyone could it's Netflix TOONAMI.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

reruns will continue into the new year

 

[Zonic]

So Guilty Crown ISN'T a crossover of Guilty Gear & Dragon's Crown?!

2004-2007 shows aren't considered "too old" for the block, though considering we had some that were older, that was kind of a given.

 

[Shard]

reruns will continue into the new year

Expected, no real point in rotating in any more new stuff in the ass end of the year.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I just saw some person say Shippuden is their favorite show

 

[Man God]

Naruto fans are real. Read the Naruto manga thread here for example.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

He did respond with "Programming thinks AoT will do better at 11:30. We'll see!" so perhaps this has been discussed.

Hoping for a BtB/BL thing to happen.

Shippuden fans exist?

More fans than OP in America.

[Man God]

Remember the Marathon for AOT did absurdly good numbers for a holiday.

 

[Zonic]

Oh right, thinking about movie month, I wonder if we'd get Cowboy Bebop: Heaven's Door this time around. Maybe they got the rights when getting back the regular series?

 

[ckohler]

I find this answer really interesting:

Q: Why is Attack on Titan rerunning at 11:30 instead of DBZKai taking the slot with AoT later in the block?

A: Because programing thinks AoT will do better in that slot... we will see!

Sounds like the Toonami crew don't get final say on the order the shows play in.

Last question, I know it's been asked a lot, and I give you guys the benefit of the doubt. But, can we expect Bebop HD anytime soon?

))))))))))))

[–]LICHKINGDEMARCO 1 point a minute ago

We're working on that!

Pfffffffffffff

 

[Raxus]

Wow...so many slurs.

I'll be honest...did not expect that.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Bleach reruns

 

[mightynine]

Bleach will likely rerun for some period of time.

The combat pass lives!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Guess we're never getting YGO GX

 

[Soulflarz]

More bleach? *shrugs* whatever...I guess?

 

[BassForever]

Bleach reruns confirmed! Attack on Titan, DBZ Kai, Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, and Bleach all airing on the same block at the same time, truly the 5 kings of Shonen

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Bleach reruns

The combat pass lives!

HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD YESSSSSSSS!

HOW MAD ARE YOU SHARD!?

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Welp, 2:30 show is likely gonna be Bleach, in exchange for OG Naruto.

 

[Man God]

To be fair if you air Bleach for the same amount you air Naruto Uncut you'd get a fairly decent show.

 

[UltraGunner]

Dragon Soul would probably be the few times that I'll take the butchered OP the the real thing =/

 

[Shard]

About what I expected, probably up to a certain date like Naruto was.

 

[Zonic]

What show you keep getting requests to air on Toonami,but you don't want to see on Toonami

Hm I'd say Yu-Gi-Oh! is one.

Huh, was unaware people were requesting that.

Also, network is very happy with how they're doing, & Bleach is "likely" to rerun for some time. He also hopes to continue to get darker shows like Hellsing & Black Lagoon.

& no Intruder 2 trailer this year.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Come to think of it, do we have any idea who picked up HxH yet?

Boom.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

First Kai and then a Bleach reairing. All we need now is Fairy Tail and SAO S2 to make my life complete.

Boom.

I would pay 9.99 to watch dubbed HxH

 

[Zonic]

SPEAKING OF HxH.

So, I hate to be the guy to simply just ask, "IS THIS SHOW COMING!?" because I imagine the question gets tedious after a bit. But when I watched Hunter x Hunter, I can honestly say it felt like a show that I would have watched on Toonami back in the day. And is it progressed, it took on a darker tone that seems to epitomize what Toonami is going for now. Considering, it's 148 episodes, it also adds stability to the block. Dub pending, do you think the show is something you'd consider?
Also, what are the odds of another series airing with a US dub before Japan?

Odds of another series airing with a US dub before Japan are small! And as for Hunter X Hunter... lemme know when it's dubbed!

 

[Shard]

I still think Netfilx is the one who grabbed Hunter x Hunter dub.

 

[BassForever]

SPEAKING OF HxH.

Part of me thinks he's being facetious with that "let me know when it's dubbed" comment

The other part is

Someone get this shit dubbed

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You're not the only one. lol

 

[Man God]

This makes sense...except they didn't put Netflix Original tagging when the sub went up.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Wow...so many slurs.

I'll be honest...did not expect that.

(i'd like to be clear i'm not ragging on Naruto fans, i'm just familiar with this particular guy)

 

[Zonic]

Are there any plans in the works to add a show or two from Sentai Filmworks to the block in 2015? Wouldn't mind seeing Log Horizon or Gatchaman CROWDS drop in for a run personally.

We're open to that!

Come oonnn, Sentai, work out a deal with them.

Also someone is GLAD to have been introduced to SAO because of Toonami.

You should read the SAO subreddit, it's embarrassing

 

[BassForever]

Doesn't Netflix have the right to air the dub of Psycho Pass from Funi? We still got a comment that hinted we may see in sometime next year (yay......) so even if Netflix gets the dub we may still see it on Toonami in the future. I really can't see Netflix footing the bill themselves for an 148 episode anime dub on their own.

 

[Zonic]

Thanks for asking me questions, I had a blast as always. And from myself and the entire Toonami crew, thank you to everyone who keeps this Subreddit alive and everyone who watches Toonami every week, your passion is the reason we keep doing this! You guys are the best!
xoxoxo, Jason

Welp, it's over.

Akame Ga Kill and Log Horizon would be such bad ass shows for Toonami the group would love them

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Looks like he's done answering questions. Big news seems to be that Bleach will rerun and that toonami wants to grab HxH.
