So SBT...?

Here you go guys: the work in progress new Toonami logo:
Wasn't on Cartoon Network, while things like Jack are still airing on a Cartoon Network branded channel.

I wonder about that.
Right place, right time. It was already canceled and didn't qualify for Boomerang. So they can advertise SBT and not have to worry about the blowback. Granted I think it is silly since most of the stuff they show is aimed at teens and kids.

Yeah, but if Toonami skewed older even when it was on Cartoon Network, it would really stand out now when the old end of CN's demo is probably a 12-year-old boy.

well Jason did mention that Cartoon Network is worried about parents that would get upset should their little kids tune in and get an eyeful of Black Dynamite.
i believe he said if Samurai Jack falls off of Boomerang, it becomes a possibility.

I need Samurai Jack in my veins.

This was a really great watch. I have immense respect for these guys, and I'm happy the Toonami revival was successful.

Great idea, start One Piece with 5 individual filler episodes that don't tell you anything about the main character's backstories and history, and follow it up with two consecutive filler arcs, and then the longest and arguably least popular saga in all of One Piece. GREAT PLAN.

Water Seven is significantly longer than Skypiea.
Starting out with shitty filler would be a terrible move, though.
I'm just going on arcs, really. Water Seven is generally considered to be two arcs, Water Seven and Enies Lobby. Skypeia is the longest arc in the manga, while fucking Fishman Island is the longest arc in the anime.
Water 7 was an awesome arc, Skypiea was a painful arc. I quit watching One Piece for a while because of that arc.

Naruto Shippuden's English Dubbed voices are so bad. I very much regret listening to it.
Skypiea is a better arc in retrospect. Meaning that elements introduced during it will become clear or important later in the series.
Like dials, Eneru's Mantra, the Ponyglyph Robin finds, the gold they get, and some others I can't recall right now.
Skypiea is actually better in the dub thanks to J. Michael Tatum making Eneru his own. He just dominates that role.

I disagree for the most part *shrug*
It also sets up
Usopp leaving the crew because of his attachment to the Going Merry.
Skypeia is definitely one of the most important arcs in retrospect, it's just such a bore to watch it all happen, imo. After I finished it I gave up on One Piece for a little while before coming back a few weeks later. Only other arc to make me do that was the beginning of Thriller Bark, which was worse than anything in Skypeia
They can't be any worse than ones on Bleach.
Scratch that. The voices in Bleach aren't "bad", they're just really bored and phoned in. Granted, some of them are bad. Like Yammy's voice.

At least the episode I'm watching sucks. And It shouldn't its one of my favs.
I guess im so used to the Japanese version. Its weird hearing the voices any other way.
I was arguing with some dude about this point. Dude said we were sheep, I went at his neck. We wolves son.
I bought it the other week, need to get around to watching it sometime.
It's on hulu so I'm watching it there. Swear to god everyone on this show is fucking crazy, I feel for the poor guy. Two episodes in and he's been kidnapped, almost killed and someone tried to commit a murder suicide with him. He also has new insane roommates because his dad and grandpa aren't bothered by gigantic space battles occurring on their front lawn...
Neon Genesis Evangelion actually aired on your grandfather's Toonami. Albeit only for like 2 episodes and heavily edited.
It also aired in full on Adult Swim back around 2005 or so, so Eva 1.11 is right at home here.
And they bring a new one in each episode for the first 7 or so.
They go off the beaten track about halfway through the second movie.
For 1.1, everything's shiny as hell.

For newbies it works as a more refined, condensed version of the stories...
...and for old-school fans it takes the story in a new direction.
So far so good, but we're only 2 movies in.
Any word on the english dub? Seems like the first two were dubbed but not the third yet.

I liked 2 more than most of the series.
didn't watch 1 because Asuka wasn't in it and I was pretty meh on the series till she showed up.

Hey everyone. I don't normally join you guys for Toonami, but I think I'll start doing that, starting with movie night. I enjoyed hanging out here on April Fools' Day and seeing everyone react in real time.
I'm gonna go ahead and take a stab at guessing what shows will replace what, since Soul Eater popped up.
Thundercats -> Fairy Tail
Tenchi GXP -> One Piece
Sym-Bionic Titan -> Hunter X Hunter
Eureka 7 -> Darker than Black
Let's see how that goes. I don't think they're silly enough to introduce six shonen in a row, so I might bump Darker Than Black up a bit.

It makes sense from a business perspective, I guess. Shonen has proven to bring in the ratings time and time again, and they won't have to shuffle the schedule nearly as often if they aren't always introducing short shows.

I suppose the back half could supply the variety, even if it's likely to be cheaply acquired (or free) old shows that have already run on AS action. They could switch out FMA and the two slots Bebop is taking up anytime now. FLCL, Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, and Big O will probably all show up in the back half at some point.
I miss GITS. I still think it'd be a smart move to bring it back and replace one of the Bebops with it. Would add some more variety, another show to draw clips from for promos, Bebop wouldn't conclude quite as quickly, and those that didn't catch GITS before Toonami came back will have a chance to see it. They did just drop it in the middle of season 1.
The word on that was both SBT and Thundercats were available because they were not on Cartoon Network or Boomerang.

Thundercats will be running a second time. Welp.

Where'd you see this? Did they confirm it on the tumblr? Or did you get it from the presentation?
FAKE EDIT: Nvm. Just say it on the tumblr. Shit sucks. Also, this made me shake my head.
