if Toonami expands to 11pm (which it won't), i think the best use of that would be to kick off the block with an hour of One Piece and just leave everything else as is

Man, this stuff saddens me to see. Is there no way to get One Piece broadcast (in a satisfactory manner) in the states?
I always forget something. Replace Katanagatari with Gurren and Hunter x Hunter. At the same time, isn't Gurren wrapped up in rights from the Sci-Fi channel in the states?
It really is depressing how much 4Kids destroyed the series in America.
Sure, word of mouth is helping now. Along with some promotion. The collected manga volumes are only a few volumes behind Japan, Weekly Shonen Jump USA allows a legal way to read the newest chapters, Funimation is consistently releasing DVDs and simulcasting the newest episodes. Even though the latest DVD ends on Episode 241 and the latest in Japan was 583. Things are sort of working out.
It doesn't help that there are people that still think 4Kids has the series and many people refuse to touch it because of it. I can understand being intimidated by the length though.

I'm not hyped for Soul Eater because it ends before it even gets real good. I stopped reading the manga though. I don't know why they won't add Gundam or The Big O.
The studio and distribution armBandai's entertainment division folded, leaving the rights to the dubbed cuts of Gundam in a precarious position.
I don't believe they own the rights to the first season of Big O. Just the second batch of episodes the network server as a co-financier on.
It's a trying time to have an action block with (mostly) anime. Several establishments have shuttered and the once lucrative home video market has been truncated. It's six to seven figure deals for networks such as Cartoon Network to air properties they don't own.
yeah but we were talking ideals right

VIZ has repeatedly stated that a show being on Neon Alley does not exclude it from being on Toonami.

I never heard of Neon Alley until now, but I assume something be on it wouldn't mean it won't be on Toonami just like Funimation airing their own shows on their channel didn't exclude their shows from airing.

What about Durarara?

TV rights and streaming rights are different.

In an ideal world they would just start off with the Water 7 arc, pretending that people actually watched Skypeia when it aired briefly on Cartoon Network (lets ignore the part where it only finished the arc completely in Australia).
As for Gurren Lagann, its problem probably isn't the Sci-Fi channel (which surely doesn't have the rights anymore, anyway). Gurren Lagann's problem is that no one currently holds the rights to it in America (except for Aniplex USA having the rights to the two movies). Gurren Lagann isn't going to appear anywhere until Funimation finally gets around to picking up Bandai's dropped shows.

If it's streaming then they have *some* kind of relationship, which opens the door in the future.

The relationship is Aniplex USA, who have the series licensed for sale and streaming.
And streaming rights usually outlast broadcast rights by a healthy margin. They're easier to renew too.

It was? Essentially? It aired on saturday nights on adult swim at least.
I feel for you though. It would be a fun reairing for toonami. I just don't think they have any interest in it right now. They're mostly focused on series that haven't aired on network yet or legacy/classic series.

And yet they air Brotherhood for the fourth time. There is no justice.

Not to mention the ratings were poor.

Naruto and InuYasha say "hi"
not to mention why would they go out of their way to lie to an extremely small group of people? you're not making any sense.

or maybe Toonami can't actually afford the show?
but you're right. despite VIZ's stated willingness to put Neon Alley shows on Toonami and the actual presence of Neon Alley shows on Toonami, it's PROBABLY some kind of conspiracy. i'm sure Toonami would be airing Tiger & Bunny if it wasn't on Neon Alley, despite their budgetary constraints and repeated statements that the age of a show doesn't matter. VIZ obviously restricts the airing of shows to their PS3-exclusive service because it will get them so much more money than the infinitely wider exposure of cable television.
it's obvious you're just mad the show you want isn't on Toonami and are looking for someone to blame. come back to me when you have evidence that VIZ is lying and actually withholding shows just for Neon Alley, or that Toonami would have ever picked up Tiger & Bunny to begin with. because right now you don't have any; call me crazy, but i'm going to assume the heads of VIZ and Toonami are telling the truth until you can give me a reason that isn't "LOOK THEIR SHOW ISN'T ON TOONAMI THEY MUST BE PREVENTING THEM FROM AIRING IT." that makes not a damn bit of sense, and you know it.

Hmm.....interesting idea. Weekly?
Recording every Sunday would be great.

Yeah, that would nice. Get a chance to discuss the episodes from Saturday night
Could do a nice moratorium for Samurai SOLD MY WIFE. What worked, what went terribly terribly wrong and favorite characters.
It would be nice to cover Sym-Bionic Titan from the beginning since it is an interesting show and was Genny's swan song for the network.
What time are we talking here?
Anytime on Sundays, really.
Sunday evenings I am usually busy with work related to my own show but something like the Afternoon would work fine for me.
Depends on if you want to do this live or recorded. That is to say in front of a live interactive audience or just record on Skype and put the podcast up later.
Sounds like fun. I'll join up, but it'll probably end up like a rifftrax lol

I've been talking/analyzing [adult swim] on their website forum since 2005. I'd love to be a part of that podcast... the one thing is a) though I know of the shows I probably wouldn't watch 6 hours of TOONAMI since I've already seen virtually every ep. they show in a week b) the shows I haven't seen due to me trying to catch up I wouldn't watch.
I have limited recording experience via TeamSpeak. To say I have podcast experience would be kind.
