I wish Toonami could grab Masion Ikkoku.

Talking more unlikely/impossibilities, the fact that Movie Night can never be a Ghibli flick makes me infinitely sad.

Well, given there was only like 30 episodes of FoTNS was (very poorly) dubbed ...

I totally forgot that not all of FotNS isn't dubbed. Don't pay much attention to that aspect. Still, there has to be a lot of great, classic 80s stuff waiting to be scooped up.

 

[Schadenfreude]

They looked pretty badass in that last scene. Dis gon be gud. Time for Thundercats.

 

[Raxus]

You better get the two Anime Legends sets while you still can.

0.0 What happened?

I guess I know what I want for Christmas.

 

[Takao]

OG Gundam would be godlike. I am still pissed they never finished airing it.

IIRC MSG did very, very poorly back in the day.

0.0 What happened?

I guess I know what I want for Christmas.

Bandai Entertainment is ceasing all releases next month.

 

[BatDan]

ThunderCats. Oh hey it's one of the good episodes... despite the development not sticking.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The nonsensical fear of logging out thing, along with
an incredibly predictable ending. It was like a slow seord arts online with a less dire plot. As dark as it was, casshern was far more entertaining than that

It wasn't about the ending, but understanding why this was all happening.

Spoiler

Hoerwick, Morganna, Aura, etc.

It was also far more character-based than most animes.

Also there wasn't a fear of logging out. Tsukasa literally couldn't log out.

Bandai is dead. When all current stock of their releases is gone, that's it.

 

[Amikami]

Is this the drifter episode? I remember really liking that one.

 

[yami4ct]

0.0 What happened?

I guess I know what I want for Christmas.

Bandai Entertainment, the US branch that distributes the Gundam stuff, went out of business. That's why there will likely never be any G/Wing/0079/Zeta etc. on Toonami.

 

[Shard]

Okay, nobody else is seeing the Tank! Tank! Tank ad?

 

[Takao]

Saint Seiya will return. Believe.

 

[MetatronM]

Okay, nobody else is seeing the Tank! Tank! Tank ad?

Nope.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

No Tank Tank Tank here.

Is this the drifter episode? I remember really liking that one.

Yup, probably my favorite "pure episodic" episode of the entire series.

And unfortunately it really is "pure episodic," as mentioned the developments don't really stick, which becomes a running theme.

 

[VariantX]

Okay, nobody else is seeing the Tank! Tank! Tank ad?

Nope saw an PSA about bullying instead.

 

[B.K.]

Funimation has Last Exile. They should show it on Toonami and then show the sequel after it finishes, like they're probably going to do with Eureka 7.

 

[Shard]

God damn it, why does Deadmouse keep entering into my life?

 

[B-Dubs]

Yup, probably my favorite "pure episodic" episode of the entire series.

And unfortunately it really is "pure episodic," as mentioned the developments don't really stick, which becomes a running theme.

So there is development here and yet it doesn't stick? Wtf? I can see why this was canned.

 

[BatDan]

Okay, nobody else is seeing the Tank! Tank! Tank ad?

Nope. I did see deadmaus playing music in his home.

 

[yami4ct]

Saint Seiya will return. Believe.

I'd be totally up for Seiya. Maybe someone will grab new JoJo. That show is basically just an 80s anime all over again. That'd be a perfect fit.

So what are the chances of movie night being something other than a horrible Bleach film? Or maybe an InuYasha one? Like a million to one against, right?

 

[Shard]

Ooooh, Duelist and The Drifter, one of the best episodes of this show.

Not-really-spoilers:

Spoiler

LionO pulls some sword skills out of his catbutt in the last five minutes of the episode, and he completely forgets them and how he got them by the next ep.

Happens multiple times.

 

[Ultratech]

IIRC MSG did very, very poorly back in the day.

That reminds me of missing Char's Counterattack when they first showed it on AS.

Cable went out that night and I was SO PISSED.

MSG was alright and had its moments. But it did suck not being able to see it through to the end.

Whoosh

All my friends are dead

 

[Drago]

Before they start, would anyone mind summarizing last weeks episodes of SBT and E7? I missed both last week...

 

[yami4ct]

Funimation has Last Exile. They should show it on Toonami and then show the sequel after it finishes, like they're probably going to do with Eureka 7.

Oh dear lord, E7AO on Toonami is going to be glorious. That show is by far the worst anime of the year. ToonamiGaf's reactions will be priceless.

And yes, Last Exile wouldn't be a bad choice.

 

[RagnarokX]

Is this bunny Puck?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Reminds me of Mr. Burns in that one episode where Homer becomes a volunteer fireman.

 

[everyday math]

Flying rabbits....now Iv seen everything.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Rabbit guy needs to eat more.

Practically skin and bones, he floats away with the wind.

 

[Shard]

Fiver NO!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

with the way they keep moving around Eureka 7, i doubt we'll be getting AO

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Drifter gives less fucks than Aizen

 

[Ultratech]

Random guess: The Drifter is a master swordsman.

 

[Amikami]

Always reminds me of FF 12

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Bandai Entertainment, the US branch that distributes the Gundam stuff, went out of business. That's why there will likely never be any G/Wing/0079/Zeta etc. on Toonami.

They're not producing any new releases, but they still exist and could license things out to Toonami if they were interested. Cowboy Bebop is a Bandai show, after all. It's unlikely to happen anyway, but I don't think Bandai discontinuing their shipments would alter the chances of them licensing their shows out.

 

[BatDan]

SBT: Mutraddi invaded the school, they get defeated by texting.
We also meet Meat, the dumb jock.

 

[Shard]

Eureka Seven is getting ever more buried and I love it.

 

[MetatronM]

Last week's Eureka was a recap.

 

[yami4ct]

Cable went out that night and I was SO PISSED.

MSG was alright and had its moments. But it did suck not being able to see it through to the end.

MSG without Amuro and, especially, Char's Japanese VAs just lacks the same punch. That being said, if The Origin turns out to be a real remake, and it gets licensed for US release, that'd be an awesome Toonami show. Zeta's still where it's at, though.

with the way they keep moving around Eureka 7, i doubt we'll be getting AO

Well, that'd be for the better. No reason to subject Toonami viewers to that thing.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Some cool character designs we will never see again.

 

[Shard]

There is no way this will blow up in Lion-Os face.

 

[RagnarokX]

Gilgamesh?

 

[Drago]

SBT: Mutraddi invaded the school, they get defeated by texting.

Thanks!

Wow, how could they fall that far? When I heard they were doing a sequel I was excited as hell and planned to get to it sooner or later.

 

[Ultratech]

Gilgamesh?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Aww snap, it's sword-wielding Sinestro!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Look at all those swords. Must be overcompensating for something.

It's unlikely to happen anyway, but I don't think Bandai discontinuing their shipments would alter the chances of them licensing their shows out.

I was under the impression BE US was completely dead and only reason Bebop can still air is that CN bought television rights for that show forever.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

No means no.

Oh wait. Duelist is playing that card.
