And then they'll be surprised and disappointed when nobody watches the show about characters they know nothing about and about things that make no sense because they didn't show it.

Yeah, as cringeworthy as I think Naruto is right now, I doubt it'd be getting the ratings it has if they just started at like Sasuke Retrieval or whatever.

 

[Gear2nd_PK]

Hmm, I kinda wish they do start from the beginning. It just doesn't feel right skipping episodes again. I'm still sour about Laboon (aka the random iceberg in the 4kids dub) and Little Garden being skipped in the TV broadcast (which we learn they've become extremely important in the storyline).

But truth be told, if it means Funimation gets to pick up more seasons, I wouldn't mind a Season 4 start (even with that pesky Ocean Dream arc).

I won't!

The only way I can see One Piece starting that late and working is if every commercial break has ads for the DVDs and Hulu/One Piece Offiical so everyone can catch up.

A new episode of Naruto – part of the signature animé action-adventure Toonami block—ranked #1 in its time period among men 18-34 & 18-24. Significantly, all Toonami series earned mostly double and triple-digit increases across key adults and men vs. the same 2012 time period.

God. Damn.

Amazing. Things are getting better and better.

Oh man, that's nuts. Can you say extra hour?

Imagine what it will be like when they don't have an albatross like GXP on anymore in a month or two.

I am so sorry.

And that was with Loiter Squad opening for it.

Also, I guess Bleach wasn't #1 for its time?

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Halfway through the first episode of SBT...I think I'm in love.

No, they won't be showing 2 episodes a night because of sacred cows like Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Seda]

Awesome awesome show.

 

[LycanXIII]

That's probably how they pay Steve.

 

[Seda]

 

[BatDan]

Holy shit! A miracle have happen!

... I've never seen IGPX. How is it?

 

[TheChits]

YES YES YES YES YES

 

[LycanXIII]

Welp, ignore that comment I made about Bebop then.

 

[B-Dubs]

Hmm, I remember sort of liking this. It was giant robots doing NASCAR right? I'd still rather have Megas.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Holy fuck! New Toonami and IGPX? Inject it into my veins!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Awesome awesome show.

I'm surprised at how dark it is, just saw the main villain choke a guy to death!

 

[MetatronM]

Well that's a surprise.

Holy shit! A miracle have happen!

... I've never seen IGPX. How is it?

What little I remember seeing of it was...eh.

 

[Moaradin]

I kinda remember this but not really.

 

[Shard]

That was unexpected.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Hmm, I remember sort of liking this. It was giant robots doing NASCAR right? I'd still rather have Megas.

pretty much, I wasn't a fan when it first aired

 

[Seven Force]

Holy shit, IGPX? That was actually a pretty kickass show.

Holy shit at those rating increases, too.

Edit: Wait, I might be getting IGPX confused with something else.

 

[B-Dubs]

I kinda remember this but not really.

It was pretty sweet from what I remember. Oh man I never thought this shit would be happening. I know they say they can't do this for MEGAS but this has just given me hope anyway. When TOM delivers, he delivers.

pretty much, I wasn't a fan when it first aired

I remember it being pretty sweet as it went along. This is just insanity though.

 

[Tamanon]

Shocked they could get it back, but good news nonetheless. I didn't catch it the first time around, looking forward to experiencing it anew.

Need to get the guys who did Megas XLR to just do another Giant Robot show!

 

[Drago]

edit: beaten to death

 

[Seda]

And 3 weeks after that we should have a replacement for GXP.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Maybe they can put Eureka Seven and IGPX back to back. Call it the hour of mechs or something more creative.

 

[lazybones18]

Never seen IGPX, but I'll give it a watch

 

[Shard]

When is GXP ending again?

 

[B-Dubs]

Maybe they can put Eureka Seven and IGPX back to back. Call it the hour of mechs or something more creative.

It would be more of an hour and a half considering Titan, which I now have hope Toonami can bring back.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

wut

 

[LycanXIII]

Looks like October 5th would be the end date for it, unless they have more movies in there.

 

[789shadow]

HOLY FUCK SHIT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

 

[Schadenfreude]

It would be more of an hour and a half considering Titan, which I now have hope Toonami can bring back.

Holy shit! You're right. So many mechs.

 

[Drago]

One Piece, hopefully

 

[BatDan]

When is GXP ending again?

If there's no more breaks from it, May 11th.

Meaning it's very possible that One Piece will start May 18th. Don't take this as fact, just speculation.

 

[Jintor]

Lol@sacred cow bebop complaints

 

[Seda]

When is GXP ending again?

I keep the image in the OP for reference, May 11th.

I wonder if One Piece is GXP's replacement ...or if theres going to be One Piece, IGPX, AND something else.

 

[Drago]

Also, if One Piece starts at Davy Back Fight with one episode a week...

eughh... DBF is so bad

 

[Beelzeboss]

IGPX will be on right before GXP.

We'll call this hour IGXP

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Eww, why would they start at the Davy Back Fight.
