Since April 27th is when the new look for Toonami will launch with TOM 5, why don't we start OT4 the week of?

 

[Shard]

wasn't a similar thing said about Naruto when it was acquired?

Well, everybody is presuming that they stop at the point of the filler that would not die begins.

 

[Takao]

seems some canadain tv company owns megas now

MegasXLR hasn't aired in Canada in years.

Since April 27th is when the new look for Toonami will launch with TOM 5, why don't we start OT4 the week of?

We briefly discussed that and probably will happen.

 

[Necrovex]

Starting at Episode 1, with 2 eps a week at minimum, is the only way to do it. If they couldn't do that, they shouldn't have even bothered.

Agreed. Toonami can always skip the filler episodes and stick to the manga-related episodes too. One Piece is not a show to start mid-way through, especially right before the Water 7 arc.

Though, starting at the arc where the crew picked up Sanji wouldn't be bad either. The show starts to pick up around that point. People shouldn't skip the Alabastia arc though; that arc was so damn good.

IGPX re-airing? Ooooooo, said they couldn't air it, so they get it. Nice one.

APRIL 27TH.
Why should you care about April 27th? Two reasons:
1. On April 27th, Toonami will relaunch with a new TOM, a new Absolution, and a new on-air look. We’ll share more details our new look as we get closer to that date!
2. IGPX IS COMING BACK!!
No, really. Thanks to our incredibly generous partners, thanks to a lot of folks doing a lot of paperwork, and thanks to the very unique and complex structure of the IGPX production deal, we were able to bring the show out of retirement so you guys can see it again, or for the first time!
Couple points: We will be very slightly shuffling the lineup to fit IGPX. We’ll announce that exact schedule closer to the 27th. It will most likely involve removing one episode of Bebop, taking us to a half hour weekly. Also, for those Megas XLR fans out there wondering if this means we can bring back Megas…. we can’t, sorry. Simply put, it’s a very different animal, and the exact elements that made IGPX’s return possible are not in place for Megas.
ANYWAY! We’re very excited to re-air, for the first time, Toonami’s only original series, and one we’re very proud of! We hope you guys enjoy it.

Watch this space in the coming month for more details about TOM 5, The new Absolution, the Toonami comic, the lineup for April 27th, and when One Piece is finally coming!
WE WILL NEVER STOP
Love, the Toonami crew.

Time to stick onto the Tumblr now...

When we get a new Toonami logo I'll need you to modify it into a ToonamiGAF logo for a new thread.

Gotcha. I hope they keep it photoshoppable.

One Piece is good enough that they could start it anywhere and it'd pick up an audience.

They would be skipping the best Arcs though =(

I feel bad for anyone getting into it and missing out on Arlong/Alabasta.

Water 7/Enis Lobby is better than Alabasta and Arlong. That Robin flashback ;_;

Toonami could always shorten the Arlong arc by showing that Nami film. Apparently, a lot of anime Gaffers adored that film.

Episode of Nami is a TV special, I believe.

While I agree wholeheartedly with that I doubt they'd start that late considering they just finished releasing season 5 and are getting 6 out there soon.

I think right at the beginning of Skypeia is a good compromise.

 

[Moaradin]

Are there any recap movies for One Piece? Maybe they can do something like that if they start further in.

There's the Arlong TV special mentioned a few posts up and a movie that summarizes all of Alabasta. Maybe others that I can't think of right now.

The Chopper movie. But that isn't localized and has a bunch of shit that doesn't fit in that story.

There's a Chopper one as well. I think there's an Alabasta one too.

 

[789shadow]

The Chopper one is a "what if" retelling of Drum Island, with Robin and Franky.

7 episodes of SBT down tonight, hopefully I can finish the other 13 tomorrow.

You are not ready.

Thundercats has two more episodes right? I wonder if they'll keep it where it is when it reruns.

Pretty sure they said they would repeat it

 

[LycanXIII]

He knows that, he's just wondering if they'll keep it in the same time slot.

 

[mightynine]

vegeto13 Asked: is IGPX the show that will replace GXP or is that a different show? if thats a different show.. you guys are Rocking 2013

IGPX is NOT the show that will replace Tenchi Muyo GXP.

Interesting.

 

[Seda]

Interesting.

Someone should ask if GXP's replacement will be One Piece

 

[Gucci Messiah]

you know it's re-running, right?

Yup

Woot! Please Toonami find a way!

 

[LycanXIII]

When they say they "wrote off Megas and can't show it," what does that mean? They can't show anything with it, or they can't just show it as it named "Megas?"

Woot! Please Toonami find a way!

Go to work!

Oh please let there be a loophole...

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Just a little info dump.

Great, my website's shut down. Gonna have to re-register one. Gotta fix Toonami GIFS and what not.

 

[LycanXIII]

But I don't want GitS back yet!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Keep GitS in the vault for a long time, please

 

[B.K.]

Keep GitS in the vault for a long time, please

They need to vault Cowboy Bebop. They've aired it about a hundred times since 2001.

 

[Seda]

I have never really seen GitS.

When Toonami first came back, I wasn't paying attention to the second season because I wanted to start from the beginning.

It finished, and when it started over I was actually paying attention and I was enjoying it. Then they removed it part way through :/

I'd be happy if they brought it back.

 

[Seda]

This was my question, so the GXP replacement could be something else maybe.

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh god, there's MORE news coming? When it comes to Toonami reveals there's no kill like overkill I suppose. Hype levels rising again...

 

[Shard]

Okay, I'll predict something along the lines of The Last Exile.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

O.O

Big-O Season 1

Big-O Season 1

With Season 3 in production!

Something has to give here - we're simply running out of time for all these shows. Where does One Piece end up? Does Inuyasha lose an airing too? Maybe FMA:B gets a break?

Thundercats is removed.

Random question: was Bokurano any good? It seems like a cool/freaky concept but the anime is by Gonzo... =/
