Well, they did with Eva 1.11. But even then, I don't see how they would manage to get an entire hour out of doing that. Those would be some HUGE breaks between movie segments. That's an average of only 15 minutes of movie per half hour timeslot.

I had the exact same reaction to Fairy Tail. I tried watching it on Hulu about a month ago. Didn't even make it through the first episode. I rarely do that, but something about it just completely turned me off.
I might give it another shot one day, but not anytime soon. Then again, you have to be careful about judging shows too quickly. I wasn't in love with One Piece after watching the first episode, but it became one of my favorite series ever during the arc where Sanji joins the crew. And then Arlong Park came along and I fell completely in love with the show. Honestly the only reason I even went back to watch it was because of the American Shonen Jump. I got really bored one day and instead of skipping OP, I read through my old issues and saw the Buggy arc. Really dug it, which lead me to go try the anime again.
Manga has the benefit of not moving as slowly. It doesn't really take up as much of my time to stick with a manga series for a couple chapters, as compared to a 20-24 minute show.
I also rediscovered my love for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood through Netflix this week. The manga, the original FMA and Brotherhood are just soooooo good. I really think that its a franchise that people will still hold in high regard 10 years from now.

i'd still say early One Piece beats the hell out of Fairy Tail.

Yeah, something is brewing. Even if they were airing it unmodified and not edited for time,it should only be running for about 2 hours and 45 minutes, maybe a little longer. So for that to be an entire hour off is strange.
I don't think I watched during the first Eva movie, so I don't know how it was structured. Was that the only thing they showed that night? Or did they show it after Bleach and whatever was in the second slot?
It's by the same guy that did Rave. It's also much much worse than Rave.
For Eva 1.11 they aired Bleach and Naruto and then the movie.

Hmmmmmmmmm, then that's probably the best explanation for why that schedule seems almost exactly an hour off. Bleach and Naruto do bring in some nice ratings, it would be odd for them to not air them even on a movie night.Anybody remember what the ratings looked like for Eva 1.1?
Eva 1,11 did pretty well. It's hard to gauge it's real numbers because it was like a 2 and a half hour timeslot that was just given a single number average, so you had data from 1 am being mixed with data from 3 am to combine into one rating.

Man you guys are too harsh on fairy tail, it's not great by any stretch but it isn't awful. It never gets downright bad as naruto is currently or boring like arracar arc bleach, it's just consistently average
I haven't seen the show but isn't that the worse crime of all (well second to being terrible all the time)? If a show can't be excellent all/most of the time I'd rather it be excellent sometimes and bad other times then meh 100% of the time.

I mean the fights are fun and there can be good moments, it has a lot of fan service which is always great. Like one piece the magic powers are always really creative it's worth checking out for that alone

Like I said, Fairy Tail has a horrible beginning. I used to want it for Toonami..................then I tried rewatching it.
Fairy Tail is great, personally, just not the best beginning arcs. Lets just, keep Fairy Tail away for now. Stick with the short stuff. It's not even done with it's dub.
I planned to start a stream of my own to show random crap ( AMVs, desktop footage, Promos ) if anybody had time, i'd attempt to show an interesting episode of Fairy Tail.
As a matter of fact ( Beware spoilers ), here's a fight of Fairy Tail from my favorite arc.

Also Berserk but we've still yet to get a truly great adaptation of the manga

i recently watched the first movie. the only really big flaw is the CGI, i'd say. a lot of the character development is cut, but there's enough of it to still make it stand out from the pack.

Pokemon Origins for Toonami with Red/Green plz?

If it's anything like Pokemon Special, then hook it to my veins!

Pokemon is something much better suited for earlier blocks. I'm sure CN will get Origins at some point fairly soon after it airs.
Just finished The Girl Who Leapt through Time. Wow. Toonami really needs to air one of Hosada's 3 films for a movie night sometime. So what 2 of them are dramas and not action films, they're some of the best animated features being done right now.
One Piece Movie 6 was also by Hosoda. It'd be perfect.
Funimation has to license it first though.

It's not replacing the Ash anime it's a brand new series running on Wednesdays starting in October. If it's even slightly like the manga it has the potential to be much darker
Certainly. So is Digimon: Our War Game. Both are pretty interesting films, but I definitely feel they're weaker than his 3 not based in some franchise. His dramas are definitely his strongest films for me. Summer Wars is probably the perfect blend for Toonami. Anything that gets his name more well known in the west would be worth it. Dude deserves some major exposure.
Pokemon is still a license to print money. Even if it's a little darker, no way it's dark enough to warrant being placed on a midnight block. It'll get picked up for afternoons guaranteed. If it gives them a chance to air 2 pokemon shows at the same time, they'll surely jump on it.

Even more hype
I don't care if it's on Cartoon Network or toonami I'll be watching it

They uploaded the trailer

Looks amazing! Them showing Lance in the trailer leads me to believe that this will be a OVA, but I'd love to see a full series out of this.
Imagine a full series with that animation quality.

That is one of the flaws of the series.
Togashi was having issues with the editors at the time and gave us a pretty rushed ending. It's worse in the manga.
*on Pokemon Origins trailer* That's hype as hell.
Togashi just wanted to be out. He was getting rushed and just genuinely tied of doing it. Also, dude apparently has a tough time keeping to a schedule anyway as later seen with Hunter x Hunter.

Looks so good. And Dat music. Brings a tear to my eye.

the last arc in yu yu hakusho had so much hype, it was going to be a war, and yusuke would have had to go against his friends who would be fighting eachother aswell, and it was going into a much darker direction in general aswell, but you can tell at what point togoshi just said "fuck it, im done"
I could definitely see that, there's enough action to justify it.

DeMarco retweeted this:
Aww yiss. Good thing I signed up to Reddit yesterday.
They could definitely do that one. They should just do all of them, though. If Toonami expanded from just action to any animation targeted at late teens to adults that could really help the lineup, especially if they expanded to another day. There are a lot of great comedies and dramas that would be great to see on the air.
Ill let you guys ask questions and report back because Reddit confuses me, lol.
Same. Every time I try to even look at Reddit and make sense of it my eyes start bleeding. I'm too used to normal forum software.
Yeah. Can't stand Reddit personally. Don't like the attitude and the design just looks like an illegible mess. AMAs are great, though.
If someone wanted to ask about more movie nights, and maybe even the potential of non-franchise stuff like Summer Wars, that'd be awesome. I have no Reddit account and really don't want to make one.
Yes. Someone should also ask about HunterxHiatus.
No announced licensor and no dub, so they'd have no way to go after it yet. We just know that Viz doesn't have it. If you mean the old one, no real reason to air that when the new one exists.
It's just been a year and a half long commercial break. Next week is the last week of Toonami.
