They won't love the pacing
The pacing is great for the first 8 or so episodes. It only gets really slow for a while after that, then it seems to pick up again. Really the biggest issues I've had with the show are the production issues and those seem to be getting fixed for the Blu Rays. Toonami will never experience those problems.

i feel like if we're fine with most of these fighting shonen then pacing has to be REALLY bad for it to be much of a problem.

The only time the series really dragged was episodes 10 and 11 during all the
OH GOD DON'T LOOK AT THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN OR READ ATTACK ON TITAN BEFORE
Eren are you a human or a titan shenanigans after the battle for Troust
OH GOD DON'T LOOK AT THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN OR READ ATTACK ON TITAN BEFORE
Other then that I've felt like they've put enough content in each episode to satisfy weekly viewers

Hey now. It's not easy remembering the very distinct features of your character. Hehehe.

For some mangaka simply remember characters in their ongoing series is a challenge

I guess all of Oda's characters start looking alike after a while. All million bajillion of them.

I was actually referencing kishi and kubo lol

well, there's "forget about" and "has pretty much no place in the direction this story has taken anymore"
frankly, i'm surprised half of the Z fighters stuck around.

Kubo and Kishi's character counts together probably dont even equal Oda's character count.

Was the episode where Gohan confronts General Tao anime-only? I liked that callback.

Whoah. Classic Andrex avatar.
That was anime-only, yes.

I like to switch to it for a period once a year, and it occurred to me that I haven't used it in 2013 yet.
One of the better filler eps.

hm. looks like the two Rebuild movies are in the top 20 of the best-selling anime DVDs on Amazon, and the top 3 Blu-rays

The driving test was absolutely amazing.

If you haven't seen this, do so immediately. It's free on Funimation and Hulu and was a blast.
If nothing else, jam out to the full version of the excellent theme song.
"General" Tao last appearance in the manga is his battle with Tenshinan at the 23rd Budokai.
My favourite filler is probably Turtle's birthday episode.
But it's so much fun to watch!
I'd rather have a night without brain damage.

I assume you mean the other world tournament by number 3? That was pretty fantastic.
and anything involving Saiyaman that wasn't in the manga (I haven't read or watched it in years so I don't remember what if anything was added.)
I legit love teenage Gohan and would have watched a show of just him goofing around in high school in a heartbeat.
Teenage Gohan was awesome as fuck. I hope Team Four Star does him justice if they go that far.

They'll get there before little Kuribo finishes battle city
It's kind of ironic that goku coming back to life was the beginning of the downward spiral that was the buu saga.
Also watching my little brothers reactions to the finale of the enies lobby arc makes me so excited for 2015 on toonami

been rewatching Full Metal Panic Fumoffu. wonder if it technically has enough action to fit the block.
Well, I went and watched 3.33 today...
It's certainly different than the last two movies before it.
(Also, major lols at the 3.0 preview being nothing like what's in the movie.)
If anything, it only opens up more questions.
If they showed it on TV, I have no idea what people would think about it.
I'll just leave it at that though.

i just got through the rugby episode again
Actually all of Fumoffu was cannon, they're all short stories of daily life that didn't fit with the novels. FMP's writer is absolutely amazing at comedy.

i'd honestly be fine if they just showed Fumoffu and nothing else haha
It's better than the serious stuff and a few of the characters are a bit off tone but that is an amazing revelation.
Yea, it's a shame they stopped translating all the books. I think there's still enough short stories for another fumoffu season as well.

So people who've been following toonami since it returned, are inuyasha and fma brotherhood on repeat showings since the blocks return or is this their first run since the revival? I ask more so for fma brotherhood
FMA is on a repeat run. I think it was in the 30's when Toonami returned.
InuYasha started back in November and has been airing two episodes ever week since.

InuYasha is going through its first run, Brotherhood is going through its first COMPLETE run though it's been showing episodes that were already seen on the block for a while now.
