Yeah, it's not very good.

Bleach (sucks)
Tenchi GPX (probably sucks)
Samurai 7 (sucks horribly)
Thundercats (sucks more and more as the series goes on)
Symbionic Titan (pretty good)
Eureka 7 (finally)
(bunch of old shows)

The initial three hour schedule was so fricking tight. Doubt we'll see it like that again. Not that DMW was great but it was super entertaining at least.

Hmm:

(New)
One Piece
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 2012
Hunter x Hunter

(Old - Classics & Unseen in the States)
Big O
Tenchi
Bebop
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Soul Eater
Katanagatari

Now I understand everything about the funding and them still being in growing pains, but I feel like this Toonami block is riding the razor's edge and could fizzle before anything big happens.

Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell need to retire. They've been aired to death just like Dragon Ball Z was. Of course, even if Toonami/Adult Swim were to do that, some fans would complain about it. "I want to see Cowboy Bebop for the 1,500th time!"

You should understand. After all, YOU SOLD YOUR WIFE

At least GiTS and Bebop are a hell of a lot better than Inuyasha all around... (imo)

JoJo and the new HXH would both be perfect, but neither are licensed yet. Hopefully by the time bleach ends, maybe they'll be able to pull one out. One Piece is confirmed to be impossible because Funi can't keep up with the dubbing schedule necessary. Big O seems likely to come back soon. Gurren may not be likely at all. I'm not sure if Sci-Fi still has the TV license for that. They likely don't, but it could be a hangup.

I think a good-but-still-realistic lineup would be:

Bleach (still brings in the ratings)
Eureka 7 (follows Bleach for dat anime crowd)
YuYu Hakasho (it'd be a win for everyone involved)
Sym-Bionic Titan
Megas XLR (reruns or sequel, either way)
InuYasha: The Final Act
Durarara!! (they still have the rights apparently...)
Gundam Wing/G
Big O s2 (CN paid for it after all)
Ghost in the Shell
Cowboy Bebop x2

Good lord, get Sabbot on screen there for even 5 seconds and he just blows everybody else out of the water.
