the staff has implied that they had very little control over what was aired on the block at that time, and Cartoon Network was basically calling the shots.

Well Cartoon Network they did cancel megas XLR and Young justice...

 

[Shard]

I guess the upside is that corporate arm is no longer calling the shots on Toonami. Of course, there is nobody else to blame for mistakes like GXP now, but facts of life.

 

[mightynine]

I would expect an expansion of Toonami if they lost any of the Fox shows to FXX - and even that is a strong maybe.

 

[LycanXIII]

they've still got Ghost in the Shell and FLCL which they absolutely refuse to do anything with.

And they could always show more Bebop.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

While not impossible, I think they would have to prove themselves a lot more and see a real push, to get more time and considering the 6 hrs they already have, I also kinda think they don't really need it or would see diminishing returns.

well, at this point premieres are getting pushed to 2am, which is a bit concerning

Thanks Andrex for the suggestion,

I will not stop on my Possible Edits until I hit jackpot. 30-second this time, no spoilers, perfect.

 

[Shard]

Have they actually given a time for Sword Art Online?

That is a fair point , I guess at the very least they could vie for 11-12, otherwise I don't see Adult Swim giving them much more, without a lot more proving. Then again it's weird , like they seem to already not really have any idea what to do with their 9:00-9:30 slot since they've been alternating between a number of shows.

September-October-ish is all we know.

 

[Shard]

They named the month of August, but that is what I thought.

nothing beyond August. and considering the ratings could change before then, i don't imagine they'll decide to schedule it for a while.

unless they decide to move everything back, i think the most we can hope for is 11:30 since The Cleveland Show looks to be replacing Black Dynamite.

LAAAAAAAAME

So lame. Just give the slot to Toonami if that's what they're going to do. Total downgrade.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Maybe people will stop liking hrs of fox animation reruns and they'll get more time.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

well......it will probably have a positive effect on Toonami's ratings. AS's ratings tend to take a hit when Black Dynamite starts. hopefully it leads to Bleach and maybe Naruto beating The Boondocks by more than a small amount, and on a regular basis.

Black Dynamite at least has it's moments, Cleveland Show has never been funny

 

[B-Dubs]

True.

 

[Raxus]

I hear the later seasons of TCS get better but yeah...can we get Bobs Burgers instead? That show is a classic in the making I tell you. Call me crazy but you'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!

 

[BassForever]

That's like saying the more recent seasons of the simpsons are better then seasons 10ish-20ish, while technically true it's still unfunny garbage that doesn't compare to anything that's even remotely funny.

I'd rather they get Archer if at all possible.

 

[BassForever]

I remember reading that you need to have at least 88 episodes for a big syndicated contract, Archer could get there in a few years. Someone who knows more about tv contracts could probably correct me.

[LycanXIII]

@ToonamiNews (Toonami Faithful) just posted this. They didn't explain anything about where it came from so I'm very skeptical.

Pre-Edit:

Spoiler

Looks like something anyone can shoop up. And Storm Hawks (if it's this one) was just on Disney the other year. They get it back already?

Edit: Yeah, they sure are helping the Toonami community.

 

[Seda]

They've already admitted it was a joke

 

[B-Dubs]

They usually syndicate at 100, but there have been times where they've done it before. Especially if the series is popular enough, or ends before 100.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I don't get it. What happened?

 

[LycanXIII]

I don't get it. What happened?

@ToonamiNews (the saviors of the ratings) tweeted that image saying it was real. Seda called them out, they deleted it, and said it was a joke they posted at the wrong time.

Neither do I

Ahh.

 

[Schadenfreude]

The Stormhawks image?

 

[Seda]

@ToonamiNews posted that StormHawks image in Shard's post.

I asked "where is this from?"

They removed it

Then I had the pictured convo with them.



Sorry I edited my post and Lycan quoted my pre-edited post and that's a bit confusing.

I see. That was pretty stupid of them. Don't know why they'd even do a joke like that now. Seems so random.

Probably for hits. Really dumb idea.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Is @ToonamiNews even official?

Oh, it wasn't for now, it was for a later hour, because you know, it would have been more appropriate.

Is @ToonamiNews even official?

No. They just repost everything the official tumblr posts and don't link to it or use the official Youtube videos.

 

[B-Dubs]

Is @ToonamiNews even official?

Nope. They just sort of aggregate the news in case you missed a tweet or an announcement.

 

[BatDan]

The fuck is Storm Hawks? *looks it up* WOW that looks bad.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Why do they have so many followers?

 

[LycanXIII]

Why do they have so many followers?

Because they like to promote themselves like they're official. And they spam the shit out of Twitter, so of course some one's going to see them.

 

[mightynine]

It's the Toonami Faithful people. I tried listening to one of their podcasts once. I had that face Blackstar and Kid make when they met Excalibur.

And the pestered the shit out of new Sara to DM them about being on their podcast.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

wow.

the G-8 arc is actually really good.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

So, Storm Hawks. Just googled, an old CN series, I see?

That [AS] information picture looks pretty real. It's usually something they use when identifying promos.

Is it fake? I mean, Seda caused a takedown but is it?

You can never go wrong with cool ranch...

This week's One Piece episode begins the process of mixing filler into Davy Back Fight by altering some of the details and changing a few things around, but otherwise yes, pretty much everything is canon tonight.
