YES COWBOY BEBOP IS GONE

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD

 

[lazybones18]

So who would be watching Stand Alone Complex for the first time?

 

[Seda]

So who would be watching Stand Alone Complex for the first time?

Me mostly.

I was half-paying attention when Toonami started partway through the second season, and then it restarted and I was paying full attention to it (and enjoying it a lot!), but then they removed it



So I'm happy it's back.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Aww. Barely noticed Big O ain't returning. Sadness. You'll always be in my heart, Dorothy.

YES COWBOY BEBOP IS GONE

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD

Shame!

 

[BassForever]

Watch. Them. Both.

I own both of them along with S2 of GitS and the movie finale... I've just never got around to watching them.

Other anime on DVD that I own but haven't watched

FMA
FMA:B (have read the manga of FMA)
Chrono Crusade
Gun X Sword
Samurai Champloo

Spoiler

Gurren Lagann

I also own Outlaw Star which I saw many many years ago on Toonami the cut version so it's iffy.

Edit: Also I used to own Wolf's Rain only saw about 5 episodes of it, it seems to have gotten lost along with Hellsing Ultimate when I moved

So who would be watching Stand Alone Complex for the first time?

Me, I saw 6 episodes with a friend he didn't like it so we stopped and switched to Code Geass

 

[Man God]

Really wonder what they are going to show in early 2014. Anything dubbed recently that is fit to air around then?

same here

 

[santeesioux]

Will Attack on Ttian be dubbed by then? It seems like they got SAO really fast.

FMA original is worth watching. Also if you've seen the Toonami run you have seen most of Outlaw Star, the only edits are some brief female nudity and one episode that just had too much nudity to air.

Also not seeing Gurren Lagann isn't some sort of weird hate crime, it's not like never seeing Bebop or FLCL especially if you owned it.

It's obvious that Soul Eater is going to be replaced by

Astral Ocean because they aired E7 makes sense. Whenever AoT dub comes out you know that will be on Toonami. Magi might also work I think they announced plans for that dub earlier this year.

I actually think that this is possible.

I saw half way though GL then a buddy borrowed it and when I got it back I had begun watching something else and it just got forgotten about

Fairy Tail

Yeah Fairy Tail is pretty much a lock for Toonami next year

 

[LycanXIII]

In November we finally find out when the online comic is released?

 

[Shard]

Right, just a reminder that FLCL is only six episodes long, so something else is lurking, something possibly new.

I'd really rather not have another long running shonen.

Assuming no breaks or doubling up it will end on November 30th.

Or just a repeat.

 

[Tenumi]

I'm still really hoping for Future Diary, although it'll definitely need some censoring, I know.

FLCL rerunning is good, I need to watch the last 3 episodes sometime.

 

[Seda]

Assuming no breaks or doubling up it will end on November 30th.

My guess is it will re-run once or twice.

 

[BassForever]

With bleach ending soon and no blood war anime in sight it makes sense to pick up a bread winner like Fairy Tail. It's popular, could go anywhere between 12-2 and do as well as the big 3.

 

[Shard]

Really surprised ASA/Toonami never gave Gurren Lagan an airing since they love FLCL so much.

but Fairy Tail sucks

 

[mightynine]

Putting FLCL at 2:30, to me, is a sign that something new is coming to that slot.

I just knocked out watching the sub while I was on vacation the last few days (old school 2 episode DVDs in collectors box, baby!) and I don't think I've ever watched the dub, outside of outtakes, so I'm cool with a re-watch.

Yay! GitS is back! Surprised FMA:B gets moved up a bit. I guess it's because it's up to be swapped out faster than GitS.

Not surprised about Big O S2, from what I've read, that was played to death almost as much as Bebop.

 

[Man God]

My guess is it will re-run once or twice.

Rerunning once with a movie break or two will get it to almost the end of January, which is probably when they'll refresh the block again.

When do FMA:B and Soul Eater end?

 

[Mature]

I know Syfy had broadcasting rights for awhile, so there's that.

I guess if it just replaced Bleach then i'd be fine.

i know if they run FLCL three times it'll end the same time as Brotherhood

edit: nope

Soul Eater has 21 episodes left so 5 months from now so February/March 2014

Gurren Lagann was a wrong place, wrong time situation. It was licensed by ADV, who went under, and was rescued by Bandai, who went under, with TV rights going to Manga who put it on Syfy Ani-Mondays (because they owned the Ani-Mondays block), which went under.

Now that it's at Aniplex, I'd say a Toonami run next year may be plausible.

 

[Shard]

I know Syfy had broadcasting rights for awhile, so there's that.

This is true, but at the end of the day Gurren Lagan was the spiritual successor to FLCL; maybe Syfy just outbid them or something.

 

[Mature]

Agreed. The breadwinner front runner can look however it must. Toonami essentially starts at 12:30 for me, but I respect the ratings that happen before I tune in.

Gurren Lagann is cursed!!! Don't let it on Toonami.

 

[Man God]

If I were to Guess I'd say Fairy Tail replaces Soul Eater and when Bleach ends they just move everything up half an hour. The real tricky thing is what replaces the then empty middle of the lineup. I doubt they rerun SAO (it's a great slot for new anime though) and then they'll still have another half hour to go.

Then there's always the very real chance they just rerun all of Bleach. That would certainly make me happy for about a year as the first few arcs are quite good!

It's the curse of Gurren Lagann! Whoever owns it in America goes under.

Ghost in the Shell is probably the second most run thing on Adult Swim besides Bebop. Probably even Inuyasha. It appeared all the time during the dark years.

Dude what are you doing? Finish Gurren Lagann ASAP! Also watch Samurai Champloo and FMA Classic. On a related note, I've been watching Gun x Sword recently. I like the main character but some of the plotlines in these early episodes have been pretty stupid :/

 

[Shard]

This also beckons the question is Toonami keeping eye on the latest of that linage?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Brotherhood must pull in higher ratings than GitS.

So it did pull in better numbers... but it also aired before it so who can say. Seems more likely they're sticking with tradition.

 

[Man God]

I've seen Stand Alone Complex through on Adult Swim at least four times and 2nd Gig at least three and I know its been run more than that.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Ghost in the Shell is probably the second most run thing on Adult Swim besides Bebop. Probably even Inuyasha. It appeared all the time during the dark years.

true, but it's never been given a full run on Toonami, either, and they were fine with putting Big O season 2 up where it was.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Here are some random ratings I pulled from last year. So it did pull in better numbers... but it also aired before it so who can say. Seems more likely they're sticking with tradition.

Yeah, looking at those numbers it's easy to see that they're just doing it out of tradition. Not much of a difference at all.
