Can't say that I was completely impressed with Casshern, but it's only the first episode. I'll give it another shot next week, since it wasn't bad.
Time to turn off the TV for now. I've already seen all of Brotherhood, and I don't like Bebop.

I actually plan on watching Fullmetal Alchemist sometime in the future, so I'm gonna shut out for the night.
I'll definitely be back for next week.

I just don't like it. I could never get into it, and people hyping it up sure as shit wasn't helping matters.
If you don't mind subtitles, Funimation has the entire series up on their Youtube channel to watch, free of charge.
After watching Casshern Sins again(this time in english), it doesn't seem as boring as I originally thought. Pacing still looks kinda slow for me though.
Missed out on the other shows, and not going to bother with Brotherhood continuing from episode 36. There's always next week, I guess.

Thanks, but I definitely would prefer watching the dub. I could never get into subs. Besides, the dub for FMA was pretty good so I'm sure this one is good as well.
but look at all the dub episodes in the link
Oh, it's both sub AND dub? Will have to check it out then. Thanks.

So I made a manual 3 hour recording on my DVR for Toonami. Thought I'd catch up on my shows recorded earlier so that I could watch Toonami and skip the commercials/unwanted shows. Figured it wouldn't be as fun as April because we knew what was airing. I kinda regret it now. It was a lot of fun reading this whole thread.
Deadman Wonderlan: Wow this show is CRAZY! The concept is just so ridiculously absurd. My sister and I were taken aback just by how brutal it is. Not to mention our disbelief at how quick they were to convict a boy of a brutal murder. If it's a 12 episode series, we might stick around though just to see how things pan out. But I dunno, my sister seemed to be on the verge of tears, and I'm just not a fan of brutal gore myself. For those who've seen the series, PLEASE tell me there's some kind of resolution and explanation.
Casshern Sins: I actually watched the first 5 or so episodes of this series fan-subbed. I actually WON a copy of the complete series on Blu-Ray from a little TvC contest Capcom Unity put on, but never got around to watching it. Great to finally see it here. Great to finally see, but I dunno, like a lot of other people say, I think having two dark, depressing series next to each other was a really bad move :/
I have to say though I was thinking TvC the whole time too, and if Capcom ever makes a TvC sequel or HD port, and they decide to add a bunch of English dialog ala MvC3, I'd love to see them get Eric Vale. Just from the first episode, I'm loving his Casshern voice already. Speaking of which
There's a LOT of Casshern influence in Mega Man. Rush Jet and Rush Marine? Taken from Friender Jet and Friender Marine? Not to mention those robot wolves in MM2. Even the Rush Drill from Marvel vs Capcom comes from the Friender Tank.
I'm too lazy to find or scan a picture, but in one of the MM Complete Works (can;t remember if it's Classic or X) that has a little Inafune sketch of an X/Casshern Hybrid character. Neat stuff.
-Ghost in the Shell: Yeah THIS episode and THAT line were awesome. I hadn't seen GitS in AGES. Really fun show. Like Young Justice, it really blends the drama/action quite well (though might push the philosophical stuff just a bit). But speaking of Comic book cartoons. It was a real blast to hear the Major's voice, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, doing a very similar character, Abagail Brand, in Avengers EMH a few weeks ago. She totally channeled the Major there. She's really awesome as Hilda in Outlaw Star too.

Not all of them are dubbed, last time I checked. It's been a while, though.

Some stuff gets explained, other stuff doesn't. The thing is, it's an unfinished adaptation of an ongoing manga that is currently on hiatus (but is still in its endgame). I think where the anime ends is a good stopping point, but there's still a bunch of open plot threads that have only been resolved in the manga.
Well, Greg Ayres is the voice actor of the main character in Deadman Wonderland, so I guess I won't be watching this again. I just can't stand his voice. Hope folks watching it for the first time enjoy it. Still, it was great to watch Toonami again. Tom and his reviews are still as awesome as ever.

Toonami has Casshern Sins? Wow that one of my must watches of anime. It will make you feel bad folks, real talk.

The group of people I watched it with enjoyed deadman wonderland, and had a mixture of reactions to casshern that leaned towards negative. The small girl got a lot of hate. The excessive repeating of his name also got made fun of. We were pretty confused as to what was going on, which manifested in some people (myself included) as curiosity to keep us watching.

His voice here definitely is a bit grating, he's trying too hard to sound 12 or whatever. On the other hand, him in Ghost Stories was awesome. Didn't mind him in Ouran.
Between Ayres trying to sound 30 years younger and the annoying nekkid chick I don't know how much of DMW I'll be able to stomach, which is a shame since it's an intriguing premise.
I wonder if they could get the ADV version of Ghost Stories.

Line-up is solid in retrospect. I would've preferred all new shows (look at the life - and unexpected LOLs - DMW/Casshern brought to this thread), but Bleach/FMA bring in the dough and CB/GITS bring in the smart marks cred I guess.
I would've replaced Bleach with Death Note though. Had that show been marketed better in the States, it could've had the potential to set the anime landscape alight. That weekly edge of my seat goodness, I'd never seen anything like it and (until Breaking Bad) nothing even came close to capturing that escalating level of tension and intrigue.

HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT SHOWS ON YOUTUBE
They got all kinds of shit I want to see!!!!
Yeah, they're pretty weird about that.
Some examples:
No More Heroes has all the blood replaced mostly with a black ash-type of stuff.
Dangan Ronpa actually recolors all of the blood Pink (which is a bit off-putting at first).
Resident Evil 4 doesn't show decapitations or various other portrayals of gory death.

FUNimation is already releasing in the 200s, so I don't really think continued dubbing is the problem. I imagine that Toei (and FUNimation) probably would want a lot of money for the TV rights, which might be more than the Toonami budget can afford right now.
My guess? Start over at episode 1.

It'd be great if they picked up One Piece.
Funi's already dubbed 1-205 so they'd be set for quite a while.

They've dubbed even more than that. The first Season 4 set comes out in August, so I'd imagine they're probably at least in the 230s by now dubbing wise.

I'm paying attention to the airings of these shows as well. Casshern Sins I have on blu but enjoy rewatching it. While generally dour in tone, I dig the look of the show (I was a Battle of the Planets kid) and primary characters develop well over time. And note that the little girl Ringo can seem intrusive in the first ep, but is better balanced with the rest of the cast after that. And I favor Funi's Eng dub for this one even more so than usual over the jp dub. Eric Vale (Casshern) and Brina Palencia (Lyuze) especially.
Deadman Wonderland sounds interesting, partly simply because it is something I have yet to sample. I have it on the dvr for later. I'll see later how Greg Ayres works here, from experience I thought he fits well with appropriate leads, such as Seikichi in Oh Edo Rocket...even though I preferred episodes focusing on other characters in that show such as Ginjiro.

That would only work if they're airing Toonami every night.

I really wish I could stand Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy. I like everyone else's character but I can't stand her take on Luffy. It's like they fixed everything from the 4Kids dub except that. They stuck with the scratchy, throaty Luffy. I would much prefer a good dub over subs. Makes watching shows with friends easier. Plus I wouldn't have to see "nakama" ever again.

What? There's a shit ton of Bleach episodes and they're airing that.

Toonami apparently has no chance to move to an afreenoon timeslot according to twitter
that really sucks
anyways I'm happy I stay up for this, Deadman Wonderland was really interesting but I really hate the time slots.

Not really related, but Youtube's got full episodes of Jackie Chan Adventures and X-Men Evolution as well.

I don't think they should even try to move to weekdays. They would burn through their stock pretty fast. Once a week is good enough.

I'm sure it's been said, but I can't believe Cowboy Bebop still gets good enough ratings to justify showing it. Unless they just have the license and it's really cheap for them to fill a slot or something.
Great show, I love it to death, but it's been on air so many times you'd think anybody interested would have seen it a few times through by now since it's only 26 episodes, and I don't even think they show one of them.

One Piece has already lapped Bleach.
