Mods know we can't have Toonami-GAF without you, man.
<3 you guys
Hmm, looks like I can't watch any of the episodes I missed since they don't support my cable provider. Unfortunately I'm not sure how I'd watch them otherwise. Thanks anyway though.

I love coming home at 3AM on a sunday morning and being able to lay in bed and watch toonami until I fall asleep.
Bleach reruns probably didn't help either.
Probably the last time it had a rerun break. There was a long one for most of 2010 after they made the decision of airing two new episodes a week in 2009. Going by Wikipedia at least.

Does anyone have the 18-34 numbers? I wonder if any show did 450k.
Watching the Toriko preview clips at Funimation's channel, it shows me how much of an amazing fit the show would be for the block.
The negative is that the anime is neutered compared to the manga, in that a lot of the blood has been taken out. Of course, Cartoon Network has no afternoon anime block so... Toonami is a better fit.

Isn't it the same way in Japan? I know the Century Soup Arc is REALLY violent at the end but it was relatively bloodless. Still a fun watch. If Toonami really wanted a new action anime I would probably vote Hunter X Hunter > JoJo > Toriko > Tiger Bunny
Sadly I don't see the first two getting picked up anytime soon.
Tiger and Bunny would be great. It would be weird to see considering it stars an old man, well for anime he's old.
Hopefully. They'll need two new properties when the shows finish in February.
Unless they plan to keep Titan and only replace S7. That's a very likely scenario considering Titan is a Cartoon Network original with 1% interest in reviving it.
The anime is bloodless in Japan. I'm not referring to edits (since that practice is basically gone now). The manga is much bloodier, the climactic battle in the Century Soup arc was nuts.
HxH will hopefully get picked up by Funi. But JoJo will be a hard sell, given all the music references. Sure they can be filed for fair use or something, but the Viz translation still had to change some names. Like Oingo & Boingo became Zenyatta and Mondatta (which is still a music reference). I don't know, it's all muddy.
Also, why hasn't Viz worked on Parts 4-7? I can understand the first 2 since Araki hates the art, but why not everything after Part 3?

E7 > SBT is kind of a trip.
I've seen more than one tumblr post or tweet stating something along the lines of 'get Thundercats and SBT off Toonami, those aren't anime!'
:/

Thundercats, yes. SBT, no.
S7, yes. Tenchi, yes.
Then you might have something enjoyable to watch all the way through again.

*looks at early Toonami* Johnny Quest, ThunderCats, ReBoot, Batman and Superman, yeah those people need to shut up.
sbt is a result of genndy's love for robotech and 80s john hughes movies. i wonder if they even watched it. because the ending to lessons in love will cleanse your soul.
God that's a good way to describe the series. Please come back and make more ;-;

i'm thinking people turned off Samurai 7 since it was a clip show, and that ended up hurting Sym-Bionic Titan to the point where Eureka came out on top.
also, surprised that Tenchi did so well.
there's also a pretty vocal minority that labels them "kids shows" that don't belong on the block, regardless of any actual quality.

how many people do we see get impaled by a main character in naruto's first 20 episodes?
yeah yeah, trying to 'out-mature' the other is ironically a childish game, but that sounds like people who are extremely unfamiliar with the show. the famous dance scene in the middle of lessons in love is not something kids would follow for more than one reason. it doesn't skirt the issue of teen sexuality, for one, and it gives some insight to the character that others might gloss over.

the criticism is directed at Thundercats and SBT mainly. if we only had stuff on Deadman's level then maybe i could see how they didn't fit, but none of the shows are exactly a fountain of gore right now. to me, the idea that they don't fit in the current lineup because they were on Cartoon Network is laughable

And this is why I died inside every time people wanted to bring back TOONAMI. Young'uns/animetards have no idea what the message of Toonami is. Even the block they're emulating (Hybrid of Weekday TOONAMI/Saturday Toonami with TOM 4) had plenty of non-anime, all a part of "building you a better cartoon show".
... well except Thundercats and Eureka 7
something something Years of research with [adult swim] something?
The most boggling part is that Thundercats actually literally IS anime. It's a Studio 4°C show that just happens to have American backing and intended for an American audience.
Snarf even has a Japanese seiyuu doing his voice in the US version, a la Pikachu.
Wonder what they'll have TOM say as for why Tenchi got moved back.
also, the game apparently: "showing up on a lot of end of the year “Best Games” list. Second hint: it’s a console title. "
I'm guessing Dishonored, as it's on quite a few Best Games list, is on consoles, and they talked about reviewing it before.
Being on consoles is a terrible hint though, lol
Tonight on Toonami, Soifon shows her rocket, Sasuke and Sakura make their formal introduction, the Thundercats head into the forest to continue their search for the stone, Samurai 7 marches onward with some made up GONZO bullshit, the Galalunians find an adorable little alien (I'm really serious this time!), Renton meets a miner in the depths, Seina drops to the back of the line and gets enhanced, the Elrics face off against Scar, Bebop brings backstories for Faye and Jet, and Inuyasha takes a trip back to the present day for a couple of adventures in the modern world.

The Walking Dead. It's getting Game of the Year from tons of places. Serious Casshern Level feels in it too.
That's what I was thinking, but although its available on consoles, I wouldn't describe it as a console game.
Don't think I'm gonna be able to watch tonight.
Guess I'll catch up on One Piece instead, like I've been meaning to.unless someone knows where I can find a stream please don't kill me
Funimation's website or Hulu has them all subbed I think.
I think he meant one of Toonami.
Yeah.
I mostly just want to watch Naruto and SBT (and see the new bumps) so I guess I can scour around for just those, but it's not the same

I've heard this for two weeks, and all we've gotten was Lance getting beat up in Guantanamo and Genndy Tartakovsky's Twerk Team.
