Hmm, that's kind of disappointing... I don't mind the break near the end, though, so, there's that.
...Kids on the Slope, perhaps?

The next Funi show needs to be Yu Yu Hakasho.
I NEED IT
Come on Funibros, you let them have it on April Fools Day! And you have a Blu-ray to peddle. Be sensible!

Ganta from Deadman Wonderland really deserved a better voice actor....He sounds terrible...
Looks like they will dub the DW "Wielder of the Red Knife" OVA to be included the the DVD release.
It fits. Ganta's a whiny person with a whiny voice.

Greg Ayres is a good voice actor but he has a limited range, and his type of voice isn't really the kind you want as the lead on a show. For instance, he was awesome on Ghost Stories.
However, he kind of fits Ganta. Maybe a bit too annoying, but I think his voice matches Ganta's flip-floppy whiny/badass personality well.
That's the prequel with Crow, right?

Yes, back when he was a cop before being sent to the prison. I'm not sure if it's considered canon or not, but it isn't bad.
Yeah. Patrick Seitz (the VA) is where I got that from. Judging from his tweetz it sounds like he had a blast doing that episode. He also confirmed that at one point they softened the dub for broadcast.

SOOO LAME
Why would they do that? It was half the fun!
I'll never forget the Hummingbird episode. The bleeps (and in between the bleeps) was so glorious.

Question about the opening of tonight's Casshern: Was that Dune we saw for a brief second or two? Or was it someone else?
Same dub actor as Jacuzzi from Baccano. I didn't have a problem with it.
Jacuzzi was played by Joel McDonald actually.
I'd love this as well, but it'd take forever to get through all the episodes.
I really need to pick up thte Blu-Ray...
That's kinda weird. Made it much more fun with all the cursing and beeps.
Yup, it's one of my favorite shows, period.

Should the OP be updated to reflect the upcoming change next week?
nah. Bebop is synonymous with toonaami, and Steve Blum, the voice of spike, iss also the voice of T.O.M. so it fits

Same, here's to hopefully finding them interesting enough to follow the series.
I liked Deadman, at least some of the earlier portions (the DeathRace-like episode was great), but I missed an episode or 2 towards the end, and what I did see of the end, just felt different from the beginning of the series.
Watched a couple of Casshern episodes. Looks nice, but it just felt slow, mopey, and not really my style.
Barely saw Bleach, just to weird to me.
FMA is alright to watch, but also not good enough for me to follow religiously.
GITS and Cowboy Bebop are 2 of my faves, and are about the only anime shows I own on DVD/Itunes.
Wasn't there a new show from the creators of Cowboy Bebop/Samurai Champloo out there? I want to see that, just based on their track record.
Kids on the Slope, it's a fun show but completely different from Samurai Champloo/Cowboy Bebop. Still has some sexy jazz in it.

It's an adaptation of a manga aimed at women about jazz in the 60s. Expecting CB or SC is just asking to be disappointed. It also would never come to Toonami because it isn't action.

Eureka 7? So are they going to air the new one once it's finished?
I didn't catch Toonami since the first week since I was busy, but I managed to finish both Deadman and Casshern. Wonderland was a very crazy, but fun show. Casshern was just great and I liked everything about it. Tonight's episode that airs on Toonami is a good one if I remember.
Will definitely try to keep up with Toonami this time. I haven't seen both of the shows Toonami added before.

Perhaps, sounds like a good way to lead in and a perfect fit for the block.

Will pass on Eureka 7 cause the first episode sucked last time I watched it and I hate the main guy
Never watched Samurai 7 so I hope it delivers

I won't mind seeing Eureka again, it crew-dynamic reminds me of Gurren Lagan to some degree, and I overall liked the characters.
Yay for Samurai 7, still very new to me, been contemplating buying it's collection for ages now.
I don't know much about the E7 continuation, but I do hope this re-showing in a setup to show it. Would make perfect sense. For now, though, Anemone should make nice Bump fodder, when we get that far in, haha.
That "Kids on the Slope" thing you guys mention sounds interesting, though totally un-toonami. Need to look that up!

The first half of the series spends every episode dumping on the guy.
Yea. Deadman only has 12 episodes sadly. The anime was never finished and I'm not even sure if they are making more.
Bah
Guess I need to go look up and see how the story continues.And Tom just confirmed it during the break of the episode I'm watching

If they do this, it's very likely Funimation will send in an edited version with a ton of the cursing taken out. Otherwise, half the dialogue will be nothing but bleeps. Either that or they get a sponsor willing to allow it be shown uncensored.

Never really got into samurai 7, but watching it with GAF should make it more enjoyable.

They aren't but it could possibly be that the author is pregnant and hasn't done anything in months
Eureka is a weird show in that I really think only a very particular profile of viewer is really going to get the maximum intended enjoyment out of it. It's a pretty strange mash-up of a series that not everybody takes to. Really polarizing series, actually. Personally, I think it's one of the absolute best anime series of the previous decade. In fact I would say that, out of the shows that are airing/have aired on the new incarnation of Toonami, only Cowboy Bebop is better. A lot of other people would count Eureka amongst the very worst shows Adult Swim has ever aired. Go figure.
Though I think most people will agree that the soundtrack is pretty damn great.
The only real downer is that the dub is pretty weak early on, which was mostly the result of Renton's voice actor actually being replaced after having done the first 15 episodes or so and JYB having to come in and hurriedly rerecord the first season's worth of dialogue for Renton at the last minute.

The anime was a big bomb in Japan, I think.

Who was Renton's previous voice actor?
Supposedly it was Yuri Lowenthal.

That seems funny when you consider him and JYB work with each other a lot.

Both his and JYB whiny kid voice tends to grate on your ears after awhile (Bosch is only good when he gets to grrrr or is a creepy raper guy..or Vash).
And when he's a Power Ranger.
