I'm satisfied with what we've got going now
Honestly, Toonami is having trouble enough scraping together cheap and decent shows to fill one block. We keep getting stuff like Samurai 7, GXP and IGPX that was clearly brought on for cost reasons and to fill time above all else. We had to suffer 2 runs of Thundercats for the same reason. Imagine what they'd have to dredge up to be able to afford 2 blocks?

Not as deep as he thinks
High School of the Dead was so ridiculous and over the top that it just made me laugh so hard. The dub was great too. All the trash talking and over dramatic scenes were hilarious.
This is still my favorite exchange.
This is still my favorite exchange.
when they're in the mansion and are trying to persuade those people to gtfo from there and this crazy chick is all like, "we're not going to submit to violence" or whatever... One of the guys says, "shut up you're just a bunch of kids, what do you know" and the main character replies, "fuck you asshole" and some other shit afterwards. The fuck you asshole always makes me laugh hysterically. :lol
The thing I always remember in HSoTD is the first episode where the two schoolgirls are running away from zombies and are like "We'll get through this together!' and then one gets dragged down and the other immediately turns on her, calls her a bitch as she tries to escape, and then gets eaten.
Set the tone very well.
Also the gun otaku's voice actor is amazing.

High School of the Dead has Kouta Hirano as a character, can't be all that bad.

Fired up the first episode on Netflix once and burned through the whole thing in a few days.
It was pure trash, but done in just the right way.
You do know that Toonami still ranks basically at the very very very bottom of Adult Swim's show ratings for the week, right?
For example, if you go by the network's ratings for the week of July 22-28 (which was a week where Bleach drew 1.255 million and where Soul Eater and Sword Art Online only narrowly missed 1 milloin), Toonami's timeslots ranked:
61st (Bleach)
70th (Naruto)
101st (One Piece)
116th (Soul Eater)
125th (Sword Art Online)
142nd (Eureka seveN)
145th (IGPX)
148th (Big O)
149th (Inuyasha)
150th (Fullmetal Alchemist)
151st (Cowboy Bebop)
152nd (Inuyasha)
That's out of 152 available timeslots...
And just for a frame of reference, a 4 am rerun of Perfect Hair Forever ranked 69th that week.

gonna tell you now bro, the coffee symbol in my avatar is for k-on which im a fan of, you probably didnt think anything of me yet but you probably shouldnt have this opinion about people
Don't worry about Frankman, that's just who he is.
Why is it always that a new thread is needed the week AFTER a show premiere? We moved this one (I think, maybe it was 4) up a week for the start. Movie night is the 30/31st, right? Maybe we can extend this one for just one more week and christen the new one with the Movie night?

When you look at it this way, they should probably just cancel Toonami and replace it with more freaking reruns of Family Guy and Robot Chicken

Well then, that makes me sad that no action has been taken on him. Frankly, NeoGAF could use less of people like him, in my opinion.
Look guys im not angry at this.
What it tells me that Toonami got more goals to reach!
PentaMILL is just the BEGINNING!
Actually, yeah, that tweet is pretty heavy handed. That acquisition would fit perfectly in line with the momentum. Though I'm sure it wouldn't please the people who are unhappy to see it turn into a Shonen block.

I don't care too much about it being a shounen block, I just care about DBZ being done to death. Not to mention it would just show that they were full of shit about not making this a nostalgia block.
I mean, if you want to put it in the 5 am block with Inuyasha, that would be alright. But nobody acquires DBZ for that.

If the plan is to use DBZ as a lure to get more people watching Toonami to help grow the block I can't really complain.

I would be completely OK with DBZ Kai taking Bleach's place once it ends. Or Soul Eater's.
The difference is, DBZ is synonymous with Toonami and would be a huge pull for people. Not to say I disagree about DBZ being done to death.

Also aren't we getting Kai buu saga soon? I wouldn't mind seeing Kai buu saga premier on toonami.
Doctor Decimate

well, the contract they had was probably for whatever Funimation had licensed related to DBZ at the time so it's possible that Nickelodeon would have to re-negotiate for the Buu Saga since it didn't even exist yet.
BassForever said:
near the top of DeMarco's twitter. seems pretty meaningless.
But how long is that contract? They bought the contract along with 4Kids back in 2011 - I imagine that the contract is almost done. And I don't believe Saban would hold DBZ again along side of Toonami for every long because Demarco will undercut him at every turn.

what makes you think that will stop him?
That just means he can't perm you for no reason anymore. It doesn't mean he can't make up a reason out of the blue and justify it later.

Considering Funimation has that Rock the Dragon set coming out, promoting it as what you saw on Toonami, do you think they brought those episodes to AS/Toonami to make a sweetheart deal in exchange to promoting the set?

i honestly don't think it's DBZ. with the timing of DeMarco's one tweet, i'd imagine it has to do with Funimation and Sentai's acquisition announcements.
Maybe to replace Bleach, other than that it's WAY too badly paced. If by some miracle we could get DBZ Abridged I could live with that, otherwise keep it off the block.

If we can't get Naruto Shippuden after Naruto ends I wouldn't be upset with uncut DBZ Kai whole series replacing it

Um, I would advise against similar posts like this. I like you Frankman but insults like this are asking for trouble~
