wait are they gonna show the OVA for DMW?

They did for Durarara.

 

[Squall ASF]

I'll keep an open mind, even if I'm thinking about deadman while watching it. Sounds interesting.



So glad Cashern's not as short as Deadman Wonderland. Things are getting interesting.

Deadman isn't ending because it's short. The manga is still going and is over twice as many chapters as the anime has covered thus far. Someone here mentioned that the anime bombed in Japan so they never created a second season.

This wouldn't be a problem if they skipped all the filler episodes, but then One Piece would be only 10 or so episodes long sooooo...

Huh? One Piece has 87 filler episodes out of 559 that have aired. If you took out all the filler episodes you would still have a series that's more than 100 episodes longer than Bleach's full length.

By comparison, Bleach's Bount, Amagai, and Zanpakutou filler arcs combined add up to 104 episodes out of 265, and that's not even counting the other short bursts of filler in there that weren't directly part of those arcs. When you add those in it's probably more like 120-ish episodes of filler. Yes, literally almost HALF of Bleach thus far has been filler. (And don't worry, there's still another long filler arc to come!)







Tonight on Toonami:

12:00 - Bleach - 266 - Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, Resume
12:30 - Deadman Wonderland - 12 - Grateful Dead - END
1:00 - Casshern Sins - 12 - Turn the Time Lived to Color
1:30 - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 43 - Bite of the Ant
2:00 - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - 2 - TESTATION
2:30 - Cowboy Bebop - 26 - The Real Folk Blues (Part 2) - END


Bang.

Booo!

So are they going to stop airing Bebop as well and have two new series? or just start over at episode 1?

 

[Crash Station]

Probably not. We would have heard about it by now and they wont' be airing DMW again for a long time if ever.

Yeah, might have been a bit off with that estamate, I've been somewhat jaded with Bleach's spheel lately, so I'm not that postive when it comes to the 'big three'.

 

[Shard]

Nothing has toppled Cowboy Bebop, I don't think that show has ever left the rotation.

 

[BatDan]

Booo!

It's likely Bebop will start over from episode 1.

 

[MetatronM]

Booo!

So are they going to stop airing Bebop as well and have two new series? or just start over at episode 1?

Bebop will be restarting.

Nothing has toppled Cowboy Bebop, I don't think that show has ever left the rotation.

It's been off the block plenty of times, though it has been quite a while since it was last left out.

EDIT: Just checked my old schedules. Looks like the last regular lineup that Bebop was not a part of ended on Dec. 19, 2009. Bebop took over the timeslot that had been occupied by Seirei no Moribito the next week and has been on, aside from some odd weeks here and there, ever since.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I'm here, and ready for the Shiny-Shiny, Bebop-Bebop, and kids being murdered after a small gesture of happiness.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Sad to see Deadman Wonderland go tonight, but at least we can discuss manga spoilers afterwards. Yes, shit really goes down after this.

I think I know why it bombed. When an anime adapted from a manga begins airing, people will rush out to buy the manga and learn more about it. This year, Kuroko's Basketball and Space Brothers received anime versions so there was a huge increase in manga sales.
Deadman begins talking about an earthquake that leveled Tokyo. The anime began airing a month after the Tohoku quake and tsunami. While the anime changed the event to something else, the too soon nature likely turned people off from it.

But that's just my guess.

...or deadman didn't follow the manga

 

[Crash Station]

...or deadman didn't follow the manga

It did though. They just cut out characters that were incidental to the plot until after the anime ended.

 

[Rebel Leader]

yea, the BEST characters =/

 

[Seda]

I like today's episode of Brotherhood

 

[DY_nasty]

12:00 - Bleach - 266 - Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, Resume

YES

and DMW ending is gonna fuck some faces

and casshern slits too

 

[Rebel Leader]

YES

and DMW ending is gonna fuck some faces

and casshern slits too

The manga fucks more

 

[DY_nasty]

The manga fucks more

true

but bodies just aren't ready for that

 

[Crash Station]

yea, the BEST characters =/

Well yeah, but it's people they easily could have introduced at a later point in a hypothetical season 2.

 

[Gisk]

Well yeah, but it's people they easily could have introduced at a later point in a hypothetical season 2.

I think its similar to how the orig FMA anime didn't follow the plot at all and then just mixed up all the characters (eg pride being wrath) then stopped short without even following through the rest of the story. Kinda dissapointing imo. But brotherhood made up for all that.

 

[mightynine]

Whatever they are doing with Bebop, they are keeping their options open. All schedules have no episode titles or numbers listed.

 

[Ponn]

OH YES! The best Boondocks episode!

 

[Shard]

I remember this.

 

[jph139]

I think this is the most likely cause of a global societal collapse honestly.

 

[Rebel Leader]

true

but bodies just aren't ready for that

..Neither was shiro's... neither was shiro's

 

[Ponn]

Huey had it right, but then fucked up by breaking his own rules. First rule of survival in any apocalypse, don't break your rules.

 

[Gisk]

..Neither was shiro's... neither was shiro's

Too soon man. Too soon. ;_;

 

[Rebel Leader]

Reporting for duty, captain TOM

 

[Shard]

Might want to stand down as we have a recap episode to trudge along through with bleach.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

..Neither was shiro's... neither was shiro's

Why does she look like 10 years older here lol

 

[Shard]

I can think of a reason.

 

[Jintor]

Cos she has a frickin' nose

Man, zombie episodes are best episodes

 

[Rebel Leader]

I can think of a reason.

So can I.

SHE'S FINNALY LEGAL

 

[Gisk]

So can I.

SHE'S FINNALY LEGAL

[Seven Force]

Canon Bleach starts now, right? Guess I'll make an attempt to watch it this time.
