Balance / Variety are usually good things in my book

Exactly.
The point of Toonami is to "build you a better cartoon show", not "bring you a bunch of anime".
Along with not being intimidated by criminal threats.

 

[Shard]

Time to get the Astroglide as we head into Naruto.

 

[thetechkid]

Inuyasha 4 Lyfe.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Dats the truth. Gotta hand it to to the Toonami guys for getting so many different shows in one year.

I just wish they had gotten more quality shows. Casshern Sins and reruns of some stuff AS already aired has been the only real quality so far.

Still, letting people see Casshern Sins and Eureka Seven is a noble goal.

 

[RagnarokX]

I like how they wanted to have a cliche reflection of the missile in the closeup of his eye, but he doesn't have eyes, so they just stuck a flash of light in his empty eye socket.

 

[LycanXIII]

What we have isn't Toonami. The real Toonami is gone.

We can't have the real Toonami back because people like you complain when it isn't all anime all the time.

KIDS LOVE IT!

They don't have a lot of money to work with, which is why they picked up Naruto so they can boost ratings. Hopefully it works so they can bring us even more awesome stuff.

Don't forget televising the revolution.

 

[Shard]

Yes, indeed, it is the episode that launched a thousand ships.

 

[Raxus]

Naruto is on time to finally meet the main character SASUKE!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Yeah, I get that.

I just wish they hadn't wasted what little money they had on Samurai 7. Surely, there was something just as cheap that wouldn't be as offensively terrible.

 

[Baroni9]

Never made it past the first 2 episodes of Naruto back in 2005. Stepping into Uncharted Territory.

 

[Amikami]

SAUCE-BOSS Time.

 

[BatDan]

Now the episode that made up 20% of modern fanfic sites.
The episode that created many, many, many Yaoi fangirls.

 

[Jintor]

Did we already get a new lineup promo? Been watching the Endurance Run instead...

God I hope they replace S7 with P4:The Animation afterwards

 

[MetatronM]

God that OP really sucks.

 

[Shard]

You may regret venturing this far.

 

[redmetal86]

good old rise, chew yo' sock!/rice, too much salt!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What? Casshern I doubt, but Deadman Wonderland would absolutely be on [adult swim].

It would be but I doubt AS would pursue it considering all their anime acuires in the last couple years have either failed or done middling, like Death Note, DRRR, and Kekkeishi. It was clear AS was winding down their aired anime until Toonami's April Fool's thing.

 

[Tamanon]

God that OP really sucks.

Back then, they were really trying to ape the DBZ dub style of opening I guess.

 

[Shard]

How many GB of fanfiction has been dedicated to answering that question?

 

[B-Dubs]

Always check the expatriation dates on your milk kids.

 

[Schadenfreude]

This has always bothered me. Who is fat ninja?!?!? Also, Naruto is apparently an American college student. Instant noodles and spoiled milk gallore.

 

[Baroni9]

Naruto's got a pretty nice house for an orphan.

 

[RagnarokX]

You don't need Sakura, Naruto. Just make a clone and turn it into her.

 

[BatDan]

good old rise, chew yo' sock!/rice, too much salt!

I always heard "RISE, Do you suck?"

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

You don't need Sakura, Naruto. Just make a clone and turn it into her.

[ThatObviousUser]

Yeah, I get that.

Should have gotten .hack//SIGN or reaired DRRR.

Communist state, bro.

 

[Amikami]

OH she's so annoying in the beginning.

 

[MetatronM]

What? Casshern I doubt, but Deadman Wonderland would absolutely be on [adult swim].

They've actually said on the Toonami Tumblr that Adult Swim did NOT have plans to air Deadman Wonderland before the Toonami guys took over.



Inner Sakura is the best thing about her character. Not that that's high praise.

 

[B.K.]

We can't have the real Toonami back because people like you complain when it isn't all anime all the time.

People like you need to stop acting like there was ever a chance of Toonami coming back. The current Toonami is nothing more than a marketing ploy for ratings. They can never replicate what Toonami was during the 90s.

 

[thetechkid]

It would be but I doubt AS would pursue it considering all their anime acuires in the last couple years have either failed or done middling, like Death Note, DRRR, and Kekkeishi. It was clear AS was winding down their aired anime until Toonami's April Fool's thing.

I don't remember how they did on the Saturday block but I liked DRRR, and Kekkeishi was alright and got me to read the manga which was amazing.

 

[B-Dubs]

You don't need Sakura, Naruto. Just make a clone and turn it into her.

But then he would have the memories of the clone getting....well you know. Plus he isn't smart enough to think of it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Where are her pupils?

 

[BatDan]

Whenever I hear that upbeat music, I recall LittleKuriboh going "Do-do-do-do-do, I'm gonna fuck you in the ass!" in his chain-smoking Naruto voice.

 

[Shard]

This girls are ending up in a mud pit before the episode ends.

 

[MetatronM]

Shikamaru! The best character in this series.

 

[pirata]

all I can think of when I hear this background track is "gonna fuck you in the ass." basically, all I know about Naruto I learn from the spoof series show.


Edit: wow, beaten

 

[B.K.]

Should have gotten .hack//SIGN or reaired DRRR.

But both of those are worse than Samurai 7.

 

[RagnarokX]

But then he would have the memories of the clone getting....well you know. Plus he isn't smart enough to think of it.

Twice the pleasure.

Wait is this is possibility? I've yet to see the Persona anime and would love to watch it.

 

[bananas]

IMMA BEE UH NEENJA HABEEB IT

 

[Baroni9]

Is that lady blind?

 

[Preble]

I forgot my man Shikamaru was in this episode...

 

[Mr. Patch]

Sakura's trash can tier self...

 

[B-Dubs]

Shikamaru! The best character in this series.

The best characters always seem to be the Batman style ones.

 

[Shard]

Yes let us never bring up the .Hack anime ever again.

 

[Seda]

pwned

 

[Schadenfreude]

Here it comes.
