I completely agree. Seems like most, though not all, of the annoucements haven't happened the way they intended.
While I can't say that I'm looking forward to SAO, I'm at least happy it has an official start date/time now.

Likely far easier to keep Titan, considering it's a Cartoon Network Studios production.
Yes, Turner is part of Time Warner, but that doesn't mean they'll get a break. Hell, a lot of the old WB/Toonami shows are running on The Hub. It's possible Warner wants to move T-Cats over there.

fun fact: Thundercats premiered on July 29, 2011.
if they're losing the rights, looks like CN had a deal for two years.

funner fact: Thundercats was supposed to be 52 episodes before it was cancelled. with a break of three months between each batch of 13 episodes (standard season length in Japan, i believe) like there was while it was premiering, the show would finish airing all of its episodes right around this time, with a few weeks to spare before its two year anniversary.
seems to me like CN signed a contract for two years with the intent of airing the full series and shut it down after 26, but still retained the rights until the time when the show would have ended.

52 episodes? 13 episodes and break?
CN scheduling made that impossible to achieve.

Guess I'll have to break out that Big O S1 DVD.
Dunno if I'll bother with SAO, though. A friend tried to get me into it, and I bailed out because it started getting way too creepy for me.

This was the right call to make. So, unclean, the SAO filth never washes off even with water.

I'm only bothering on SAO if I can muster up the strength to either stay up to watch it or record it. I watched the first two episodes back when it aired before dropping it, so I at least have a small idea of what I'm getting into.

Glad to see The Big O returning to the block. It's a fantastic show, and I'm glad some people will get to see it for the first time.
Hopefully Sword Art Online crashes and burns.
Not pleased about Eureka Seven being pushed back while IGPX remains ahead of it. They should keep it at 2:30 and push IGPX back instead.

E7 has three episodes left at that point. I can see why they just moved stuff down a half hour.

So will something replace E7 once it's finished in August you think or will they just repeat it again?

Why no love for SOA? I know absolutely nothing about it.
I am looking forward to this series with you all. Since GXP ended no series captured as much hate as SAO will.
Everyone that I've heard say something about it says that it gets fuckin weird later on.
Eureka Seven Astral Ocean will be available on Disc on August 13. Eureka 7's current run on Toonami will be over by Aug 24th.
Just saying.

BIG O SHOWTIME!!!!
Will they even be able to afford it?
I dunno, I wasn't being totally serious.
I would assume they would air AO or at last Inuyasha the final season because they have an installed base.
I would die if they got JoJo or Hunter X Hunter dubbed for Toonami since most of the action oriented anime over the past few years has been awful.
I have no doubt that the bolded is coming. As for HxH it may get a bit too bloody later on for them to air it, but it would be the greatest.

EDIT: Seems it's been posted here already.
I love the backdoor schedule.

I'm interested in seeing how they handle the ant arc, that shit can get straight up gruesome.
Funny enough they haven't changed much so far and if anything some of the scenes are more gruesome.
E7AO? lol.
The same guy also said SAO was worst thing since child porn.

Still three more good episodes than IGPX has for its entire run.
That's not funny. This shouldn't even be joked about.

Seems to be the smart money, or they wrote off Thundercats.
Maybe they found a way to trade TCats for MEGAS? That would be perfect.

No takesies backsies.
I wish that is how it worked, I and indeed friends of mine would love that.

It could be as simple as rights were expiring, and CN/AS were not interested in spending money on a new deal, since there's no season 2 planned. Probably felt they got their money's worth by getting a few million more viewers out of the show on Toonami.
Where else could the show go? The Hub? CW Vortexx? There's not a lot of options.
EDIT: Looks like I was right. DeMarco just tweeted:

Considering how the box sets for the series sold out after Bandai Entertainment pulled out of the States, that PA for the DVD near the end is hilarious.

Megas is good but I think some of you are blinded by nostalgia. It isn't the god tier show some of toonami gaf makes it out to be.
I watched some episodes recently and it still holds up. It's still awesome.

so yesterday Funimation delayed the DVD release for this Lupin III series from July 30 to August 20. seems a little too good to be a coincidence.
