Noticed something, is this our official?

12:00 - Evangelion 2.22
2:30 - SPECIAL
2:45 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars
3:15 - Big O
3:45 - SPECIAL
4:00-5:30 - Regular Programming.

Can't say I believe this schedule either. Unless they're really skimping on commercials, Eva should go until at least 2:40-ish.

Well, it's the one on the front and back door schedules for now. Could be DeMarco's fiendish Lich King plan in action to keep everyone from the troof.

Imagine watching the original episode 25 and 26 live without the knowledge of a move ending?

That's what originally happened to me. I was all "wtf man?" then the next day the movie came on HBO and I watched it there.
Masturbating Shinji
and all.

According to my Dish guide, 2.22 goes from Midnight to 3:45 AM, then at 3:45 to 4:00, it's "To Be Announced", followed by FMA:B, Cowboy Bebop, then Inuyasha at their regular times.
 
Episode 4 was okay.

I've still gotta watch Episode 4 before tonight's episode too. Think I'll just do it during Naruto or One Piece.

Is Bleach still in one-off fillers or do they start the filler arc today?

Taking the movie night into consideration, I believe we still have 6 weeks until the filler arc starts.
 
So would you guys be interested in having a Toonami GAF 3DS FC list? Not sure how many people here have 3DS but with Pokemon X/Y coming out we may want to play together

Just finished Eva 1.11 which is the first Evangelion related thing I have ever seen.

My mind has been blown.

You're going to get a kick out of 2.22 then. Evangelion is one of those franchises that people will still be talking about and recommending twenty years from now. It's sorta like DBZ at this point, you can always come out with merchandise for it and people will buy it.

Something that really blew my mind is that the corresponding manga series just finished...18 years after it started. The release schedule wasn't consistent, it only has 14 volumes after all those years, but that's still pretty shocking to me. I remember seeing Volume 1 way back in the day, and figured it was a short adaptation like the Cowboy Bebop manga.

and if you were to remove the music videos from Eva 1.11's runtime, that leaves just about enough time to add ten more minutes of movie, doesn't it?

They would still need to skimp on commercials. In order to get Eva 2.22 to fit under 2:30, they would have to air 22+ minutes of content per half hour. Adult Swim/Toonami normally runs about 21 minutes. It's close enough that it could certainly be possible, and the rules are maybe a bit faster and looser for movies, but running at a normal Toonami pace would have the movie ending a shade before 2:45.

So...we'll see. They obviously do have some flexibility with the commercials, as they do manage to flex things for events like Eureka's finale or FLCL's finale.
 
Oh hey, new thread. You guys sure do burn through these fast with your hotpockets and your Ben 10'o'clock and your SAO reactions
which were very fun to read last week

Ben 10'o'clock is no more now that Eureka Seven is done.

I remember hearing about the manga in 2004 - back then, people were only joking that the person who was making it would die before they finished the story. As the years went on, that joke turned into a very real concern for a lot of fans. It was actually a nice little paradigm for how Berserk fans have been acting for the last 20+ years.
