Did someone say no show outside of Bleach did well on [adult swim] earlier?

becasue that's untrue.

I think the were talking about the period of 2007-2008.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

That's pretty crazy considering how often it used to be on.

Yeah my sister used to watch it all the time, but I never gave it the time of day. So pretty much all of it is new for me too.

Same with One Piece... I still haven't caught up to the 200+ point.

inuyasha always had the reputation of being sorta a shonen for males, imagine our surprise when we found out it was actually suppose to be a shoujo made for girls, it just had lots and lots of fighting and shonen elements

But it was in Weekly Shōnen Sunday!

But it was in Weekly Shōnen Sunday!

It was all a ploy.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Hey seda, since your not a veteran to the anime game You should watch this video, if you can recognize more anime then not, then you've watched too much anime.

 

[Jintor]

I saw an x-man in there!

 

[Raxus]

Zetman would be a good fit for toonmi. though its only 12 episodes.

anime batman!

There is a ton of great fits for Toonami they are sitting on for one reason or another.

Megas XLR (If they can ever pull it out of limbo)
Tiger and Bunny (Fully dubbed and waiting)
JoJo (licensing issues, licensing issues as long as the entire One Piece manga)

 

[mightynine]

I'm probably one of the most 'casual' (perhaps not the right word) fans in here. I feel like I've seen way less than just about everybody else.

I'm right there with you, Seda. Before Toonami returned, my anime watchlist consisted of some old stuff shown on Sci-Fi Channel (Tank Police, Project A-ko), Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" video, Bebop, Champloo, FLCL, and one or two Miyazaki films.

 

[Tamanon]

Before Toonami came back, I really only watched what aired on Adult Swim. I remember the dark days of having to wait until 5:00 AM to watch Code Geass's second season. Still one of my favorite anime, even with the cheese.

Besides the Adult Swim stuff, I watched the Persona 4 anime, if only because of the games. And any Gundams I could find.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Before toonami came back Bleach was all that I watched on a consistent basis.

 

[foxuzamaki]

May I suggest to you guys the best anime of all time: gungrave beyond the grave, great dub if you want to watch it dub.

 

[kayos90]

Alright guys. Next time the Toonami Pre-Show Watchblock will feature Haruto getting over his teenage angst on Valvrave, Jojo combatting the non-stop harassment from Dio in Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, some weird freaky dudes doing some weird freaky things in Fate/Zero, the conclusion of the strange mystery behind the woman in Darker than Black, and the "wait wut time travel?" of Steins;Gate. All of this starts this week Saturday at 9:00pm EDT.

[The Frankman]

I think the were talking about the period of 2007-2008.

Oh. Well the Summer of 2007 is widely regarded as a dark time for anime on [adult swim]. I'll never forget that one week where no show garnered more than 300k 18-49. If you can pull 300k 18-49, you better have some crazy merch pushed, or the Pope was visiting; that's grounds for a timeslot change or seeing this:

Cant wait.

 

[kayos90]

Cant wait.

Neither can I. For people wondering why it's a valvrave power hour, it's because someone suggested that they wanted valvrave to be plowed through as quickly as possible before season 2 came out.

Hrm. Kinda messes with my nap schedule a bit, but whatever. I'll be there.

You're not gonna miss it this time? =D

 

[Schadenfreude]

You're not gonna miss it this time? =D

I shall make the necessary adjustments.

 

[Crash Station]

Beyond 666 still has the best/most ridiculous line in the show.

 

[kayos90]

Beyond 666 still has the best/most ridiculous line in the show.

I didn't think it was that ridiculous but it is pretty ridiculous.

 

[BassForever]

SUPER MARKET!

 

[Mature]

Possibility.

 

[Jintor]

why aren't we just watching ATLA before the show

Sounds great, looks like I have a little catching up to do...

 

[kayos90]

Shouldn't be too much.

 

[Raxus]

why aren't we just watching ATLA before the show

Because then we will see Legend of Korra and then be sad.

 

[Man God]

Meh that's just going from best in its class to a very decent show. If we wanted to make the disappointment power hours we could go E7:Astral Ocean, Darker Than Black Season 2, ZZ Gundam, SEED DESTINY, and some other terrible sequel.

 

[Crash Station]

SUPER MARKET!

That one actually makes sense, as stupid as it is. The one I'm thinking of is essentially a non sequitur by someone trying to sound cool without actually knowing or caring what he just said.

I understand what your saying, the line I quoted just made me laugh harder even if it made sense in context

Furi?

Kuri?

What up.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

What up.

FLCL is back and No more Big O or Bebop for a while

 

[Mature]

Bebop! Noooooooooooo!!

Oh, hey, is that FLCL?

 

[Man God]

The Bebop dynasty is over?

Spoiler

It will be back.

 

[BassForever]

So in lay mans terms

Big O and Bebop will not repeat, Bebop is being replaced by FLCL, Big O is being replaced by GitS S1, IGPX moving down to 4:30 garbage slot

 

[Man God]

FLCL is the ultimate time filler though. Two runs of it is still less than a season of Big O II.

Hell even one run with a movie night thrown in will put them basically at the beginning of a new year.

IGPX is repeating at 4:30.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Furi?

Kuri?

FLCL

 

[B-Dubs]

Well this should be interesting...

 

[BassForever]

I've never seen FLCL and I've only seen the first half of S1 of GitS. I saw the OG movie years ago but don't remember much about it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

So in lay mans terms

Big O and IGPX will not repeat, IGPX is being replaced by FLCL, Big O is being replaced by GitS S1

Edit: I can't read so Bebop is gone replaced by GitS?

No, IGPX is repeating at 4:30... I think.

 

[Man God]

I've never seen FLCL and I've only seen the first half of S1 of GitS. I saw the OG movie years ago but don't remember much about it.

Watch. Them. Both.

 

[lazybones18]

GITS is back? Fuck yeah

 

[Schadenfreude]

Seems weird that they're repeating IGPX, but at least we're getting FLC and GitS out of it. Overall, i'm pretty happy.

 

[Seda]

So in lay mans terms

Big O and IGPX will not repeat, IGPX is being replaced by FLCL, Big O is being replaced by GitS S1

Edit: I can't read so Bebop is gone replaced by GitS?

Big O and Cowboy Bebop are leaving.

FLCL and GitS are replacing them.

IGPX is rerunning in a later slot.

FMA:B moves up!!!! (hah)




but yay GitS is back

 

[Man God]

Seems weird that they're repeating IGPX, but at least we're getting FLC and GitS out of it. Overall, i'm pretty happy.

IGPX is basically free filler for them. They moved it down to the obvious slot for their lowest rated who cares what this does show.

 

[santeesioux]

I'd finally watch GITS if i could stay up that late.
