So this is replacing Eureka 7


Here's the dubbed trailer btw

 

[789shadow]

Oh

HELL

 

[Tenumi]

I am not happy with this turn of events. But for Toonami, and ToonamiGAF, I shall watch.

 

[Pappasman]

oh no...

 

[Mature]

Well, it's been fun guys. This is where I bail out.

 

[slightconfuse]

Kind of excited . Enjoyed what I watched

 

[789shadow]

 

[slightconfuse]

The guild ep brigs the feels.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Lmfao, this should be fun. The show is apparently a trainwreck, and trainwrecks are great with ToonamiGAF.

Spoiler

Should have gotten .hack//SIGN. Fricking Bandai ruining everything.

 

[Tamanon]

Awesome, I wanted to watch this but prefer dubs.

 

[TheChits]

I don't think I've heard a single good thing about that show. This will be interesting

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

It's new to me. This will be interesting.
Figures that suicide gif would be a spoiler, but whateves.

Firehawk's review of the show.

Sword Art Online. This is the worst show ever to have been produced by a culture. Take the solipsism of The Newsroom, the depravity of K-Town or any other reality show of that ilk, and the sad humanity exhibited exhibited in shows like Honey Boo Boo and you’d STILL get a show that is morally, ethically, and spiritually more justifiable than Sword Art Online. The bar has been set so low that I can even see merit in a show like OniAi. Fuck you SAO… just fuck you.

We are not ready...why are you doing this to us Tom?

 

[Crash Station]

You guys are going to like the first half of SAO. It's not a bad series and has some damn good animated action. It's like .hack, but a thousand times better.

People will be more mixed on the second half because

Spoiler

incest kind of.

 

[jbug617]

I felt either Accel World or SAO would be on Toonami.

My impressions of SAO

Spoiler

It starts strong, drags in the middle and finishes on a high point

 

[mightynine]

I've heard very, very bad things about this show.

The good thing I'm taking out of it is Toonami got the type of cash to chase after something that's not a dub from years ago.

 

[Seda]

I suppose this will be another Toonami hatewatch?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hey guys. I'm here what's the-

Yes. The only question will be who makes it out alive...

You and me are enemies from this day forward.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Someone tell me this show is short.

 

[Tenumi]

Officially Official from the guys running the block.

 

[mightynine]

Someone tell me this show is short.

25 episodes, according to Wiki.

 

[slightconfuse]

Ill stand by te first 12 episodes if SAO. It was pretty good.

Past that is uncharted territory for me.

 

[Seda]

25 eps

LOL

25 eps

 

[Articalys]

So, which timeslot do you people think it's going to get?

 

[Schadenfreude]

25 episodes, according to Wiki.

25 eps

Christ. I'm getting flashbacks of another time we had to endure a terrible show for that long, but for some reason I start bleeding profusely from my eyes when I try to remember the show's name.

 

[kayos90]

I hope that Fate/Zero airs on Toonami eventually. This is the show that should be airing.

So, which timeslot do you people think it's going to get?

E7.

 

[Levyne]

With everything I've heard about the show...

(not really)

 

[kayos90]

I love SAO to death despite me knowing it's not very good. WHY?!!!!!

 

[Seda]

So, which timeslot do you people think it's going to get?

Eureka is the only show that ends in August. IGPX will still be running but that show may drop in timeslot due to poor ratings. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Soul Eater seems to be working so I'd assume 5th slot.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

popularity-wise, what would you guys say is the potential of this show?

i'm gonna guess, if we don't get an expansion:

12:00 Bleach
12:30 Naruto
01:00 One Piece
01:30 Sword Art Online
02:00 IGPX

 

[B-Dubs]

So we get One Piece, which we all agree is awesome, and now we have to deal with another hate watch? Couldn't they give us a small break from those? We couldn't have gotten Tiger and Bunny first? FMP? Nope, right to the hate watch.

popularity-wise, what would you guys say is the potential of this show?

It'll do well. It was voted anime of the year in a few places.

EDIT: Couldn't we have gotten Level E instead? It's short and amazing.

 

[Seda]

Maybe Bleachos will like it?

 

[slightconfuse]

BE glad we didn't get accel world .

That show worse

Also SAO seems to be really popular .

Don't knock until you seem a few eps.

 

[mightynine]

So, which timeslot do you people think it's going to get?

Either right into E7's slot, or if IGPX continues to drop, it moves into E7's slot and SAO moves in after Soul Eater.

 

[B-Dubs]

Maybe Bleachos will like it?

They'll love the shit out of it

 

[BatDan]

I know nothing of Sword Art Online other than it's like .hack but with more action and more awful characters.

We couldn't Persona 4? That would be prime Toonami material.

AW is pretty cool actually. Lots of interesting ideas. It just happens to have somewhat stupid school drama.

As long it's not as bad as......wait what was I thinking about?

Soul Eater am cry.

Samurai 7?

 

[Schadenfreude]

This would have been infinitely better. Still, i'm glad to see Toonami is doing well enough to get recently dubbed shows like this.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Soul Eater am cry.

whoops, knew i forgot something.

01:00 One Piece
01:30 Sword Art Online
02:00 Soul Eater

 

[kayos90]

Not good enough to get F/Z apparently...

 

[B-Dubs]

Samurai 7?

No, that doesn't sound right. He SOLD HIS WIFE, we had fun with that...

whoops, knew i forgot something.

01:00 One Piece
01:30 Sword Art Online
02:00 Soul Eater

Please no...

Like I said in Anime-Gaf, I thought the first half of SAO was decent. I had a lot of fun with it. But that second half...Toonami-Gaf thought GXP was bad, but they haven't seen anything yet.
