Not even close to the most fucked up shounen out there. Maybe Toonami should try for Shigurui next.

I actually watched the sub version on YouTube to make this week's SHINY SHINY and it was more censored than what we got. Like the decapitation, it cuts almost straight away, whereas the dubbed version has a second of her head completely off her body falling.
Then again, Japan is super against decapitations in any media. I remember RE4 was censored there as well.

Yeah, it's been more censored in some places and less censored in others. Headless dude talking to Shiro after getting decapitated is another one.

Same here. Couldn't make it past episode 2.
Damn, I can not stand Bleach. I try to stomach an entire episode, but I either fall asleep or turn on something else and need to remind myself to turn Toonami back on in 30 mins.
I wish they'd get rid of that replace it with Tiger & Bunny. Was going to say replace Casshern, but a little wrist slitting action isn't bad.

I consider Casshern to be a new twist on a Shounen show. Just replace all the powering up and training montages with depressing stories.
Oh, and the hero ultimately loses every episode.

This may have been mentioned, but according to the Adult Swim schedule (updated 7/20/12), on Aug. 4 the first GITS series (I'm guessing, it just says Ghost in the Shell 1) takes the place of 2nd GIG, and FLCL (which I believe was taking the place of GITS) is just at 5am. The beginnings of a full six hour schedule?
Also, blank spot at 4:30 am for this coming Saturday - possible error (forgot to copy FMA:B into that cell), or a possible surprise?

Tonight on Toonami:
12:00 - Bleach - 264 - Battle of the Females? Katen Kyoukotsu vs. Nanao!
12:30 - Deadman Wonderland - 10 - Undertaker
1:00 - Casshern Sins - 10 - The Man Entrapped by the Past
1:30 - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 41 - The Abyss
2:00 - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - 26 - ENDLESS∞GIG - END
2:30 - Cowboy Bebop - 24 - Hard Luck Woman
Aside from the premieres, the obvious stand out is the series finale of GITS 2nd GIG. Other good news is that there's only one more episode of this shitty Bleach filler after tonight's.

Excellent episode
I'm about 99% sure it's SAC in the 2 am slot. It's more of a question of whether the schedule is correct about the 5 am slot or not.
For what it's worth, the online schedule that pulls from the Turner database (as opposed to that print version of the schedule that is only occasionally updated) has been saying FLCL in the 5 am slot for the last couple of weeks. I don't know that I believe it, but until something reliable says otherwise, that's what we're going to have to go off of.

This shit is brutal.
The most cathartic episode ever. A very satisfying ending
Caught up on last weeks shows. Casshern was sad but I think the.....hyping......of it overprepared me.
Ready for tonight. I might not watch the GitS finale because I've only payed half attention to the show since Toonami started. I want to go through the series properly eventually and I don't want the ending spoiled at this point.

Yeah, I was expecting something like Presence from Robot Carnival after all the hyping, haha. While it was very sad, still didn't hit nearly as hard as watching Hughes
die twice, once on each series!
Funny thing about me and 2nd gigs ending... I feel like I missed it the first time through, and have only gotten to know it on repeat showings. I really liked Kuze as a character; to all those who thought his face not moving made the show feel like it was cheating on animation... I didn't really take it that way. I loved the fact that his stiff face could be read as a different emotion, just by the words he spoke, and the angles they showed of him. It really made it feel like he was charismatic, and not just putting on airs.
I'll enjoy seeing how things work out with him, and Goda, once again tonight!

A small note for Toonami-GAF, both Blum and DeMarco are promising something neat for tonight's show.
Also, a couple of days ago, Demarco said some new stuff was coming up.

Better early than late for toonami
Time to limber up. First the nut-punch of Bleach filler (almost done guys!), then onto Deadman insanity and Casshern sadness.
Apparently, the plot is finally starting to go somewhere in Casshern. I wonder if after last week, there will still be viewers.

Does anyone else add shows to the toonami lineup or subsuite them? Like I think Blech looks cool, but they are showing episodes so far along that I have no idea whats going on. So I trade Blech for the latest episode of Louie, which I watch on the on demand channel. Also, I substuite Full Metal Alchemist for Initial D or Samurai Champloo because I've seen Full metal alchemist before.

We are coming towards the end now people (and the end of my knowledge since the part of the manga I read probably only is this episode), I thought I'd recap last week's last 15 minutes:
So Nagi and Hibana fought and:
So of course Hibana:
So then Nagi:
and of course at the end:

They did. There were only 52 episodes made.
So many anime adaptations cut down in their prime.

I know there's a ton more manga, but I don't know if the anime progressed after the Kokoburo Arc. It's a shame too, it's a nice light series they thought would succeed in the same way InuYasha did.

Adult Swim showed the whole series once and then nearly got through it a second time for its rerun. Was only about 3 or 4 episodes from finishing its repeat run when Toonami bounced it off the air.
