With Casshern, the only thing we needed to survive was the crippling depression & suicide attempts. And that was fun!
GXP just seems, weak. But I do love the end credits theme.
I'll watch it twice for you

this always struck me as the weakest aspect of the series. it's all so poorly handled and barely explained.
Have you guys seen the Soul Eater giveaway yet?
The abilities and powers in general? Well, as much as "action" fans might protest, it's not the real star of the show. I've read some of the Manga too, though, but as much as I'd like explanations, I'm not always sure where'd I'd fit more?
Not to mention it's never 100 % consistent between series. Similiar powers originate from different locations, especially if you look at the Pretty Sammy series and other semi-related stuff...
Games would give a perfect reason to flesh out and expand a single universe, and that'd be fun.
Nope, but thanks for telling everyone

If it does repeat, they need to move it back in the line-up. Same for Titan, IMO.
Right, because Thundercats doesn't cost them anything (or very little?) but gaining the rights to GXP I think only allow them to air it once.
I might be spouting bullshit because I don't know the ins and outs of this stuff.

It's a little unclear about Thundercats since that's owned by Warner Bros. It depends how long CN has the rights to the show. Titan can pretty much be on the block indefinitely.

it's free, so i doubt they have much of a choice if they do repeat it. and it's not much longer than Titan.
I haven't heard much good about him. At worst, I hear that he almost ruins the show. At best, I hear that he's tolerable (as you say).
From what I've read in the manga, Black Star can be annoying but I can see him getting development. I imagine giving his role to a woman isn't going to help.
Slightly off-topic since it's not Adult Swim/Toonami, but that Incredible Crew show looks abysmal. Why Jeremy Shada agreed to do this I don't know.

It's really really sad how early in the series the anime diverged from the manga. Black Star wises up in both (YMMV with the anime version), but in the manga he grows in real ways and its pretty well done especially with so many analogues to Naruto and that type of shonen character.
I'm also forever salty that the best fucking arc of Soul Eater happens literally right as the anime and manga material diverges at Episode 37ish. Some of the fights and moments in that arc scream for animation.
I like Black★Star. He grows on you.
You'll immediately be thinking, "what an obnoxious, egotistical, little punk" and that's exactly what they want you to think. What he's not, however, is a jerk. He simply believes, with unwavering and overblown conviction, is that he is the greatest shit to ever walk on two legs. I found myself actually rooting for him, especially later in the series once you understand his origins more.

ToonamiGAF Transmission #002 is available on YouTube. MP3 version coming shortly.
Believing that you are the greatest shit to walk on two legs only works as a character trait if it's actually true and you are. For example:
The guy could worf the entire series at once if he could be bothered to.

Literally the worst, and I mean absolute WORST, character on the show.
I'm putting these into the second post of the thread. If somebody who participated can give a quick description of 2 or 3 of the topics discussed, I will include those as a description. I may not be able to listen every week.
Tonight on Toonami, Bleach tries to reestablish a main character, Haku unleashes his ultimate jutsu, Black☆Star takes the spotlight on Soul Eater, the Thundercats have to escape from Mumm-Ra's advancing hordes while the origins of the Swords of Omens and Plun-Darr are revealed, Sym-Bionic Titan reboots itself, Ray Beams seeks revenge on Holland and Eureka, Bad Luck Brian returns to Earth and meets a real protagonist, the Elrics pick up a Xingese stray in Rush Valley, the Bebop takes on its final member in the form of Radical Edward, and Kagome makes another half-demon friend.

BTW who's on the podcast tomorrow?
EDIT: fuck BlackStar. I didn't exactly say that on last week's podcast, but ... yeah. Fuck him. At least for now.

Cheap ass prizes.
A Jonas Bros. reference too. This episode is pretty dated...
Speaking of fundraisers, the Uncle Ruckus movie isn't going to make its Kickstarter goal. Sad.
It's funny how it all grows on you too. I hate that kind of character and B-Star was a fucking bawse among bawses.
Meanwhile, I forget how amazing the 3rd season of the Boondocks was.
