You need to get caught up and join us! All parts of Toonami gaf aren't the same when you're not there

Time to watch those Valvrave episodes I missed!

Don't think too hard about Valvrave, check your brain at the door and enjoy the trip.

Just gonna say that episode 4 of kill la kill was amazing

 

[BassForever]

Just gonna say that episode 4 of kill la kill was amazing

Every week I watch Kill La Kill and think "yep this is an incredible show that will never air on Toonami unless their views on sexuality radically change"

 

[Moaradin]

What episode hasn't been amazing. Even a lower budget and "filler" episode was great.

I'm shocked that it's only 4 out of 25 episodes.

With it being this crazy so early on, I can't even imagine where things will go towards the end

I was doing something this weekend and I didn't know how long it would take for me to finish. There's a 50% chance of me not being able to be home in time and as a result I decided it'd be best just not to have it.

EDIT: Oh yeah. I actually enjoyed the upcoming episode of SAO a lot. It's cheesy and corny but I liked the way it was handled overall.

Aw alright then. Enjoy yourself.

Guess we'll come to the stunning conclusion of Valvrave next week.

You realize season 2 is currently airing right?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Yeah I know.

I guess I should have been less melodramatic and just said the end of season 1.

To enjoy the broadcast from January

Duckroll Translate

Space Dandy will broadcast worldwide in January. Tokyo MX/TV Osaka/etc in Japan, Cartoon Network in the US, and Animax Asia in SE Asia.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING

 

[Branduil]

Well, Watanabe would be the guy to get his new show simulcast in North America.

 

[foxuzamaki]

It is time.

 

[Shard]

That is actually impressive.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Toonami gets its first exclusive!

Hell yeah we're officially back

Bahahaha. Toonami schedule still spoiled. One way or another!

 

[Moaradin]

English version developed simultaneously and aired on Toonami same week/day as Japanese version. Do it!

Holy shit it actually came true?!

This is big. It has to be Toonami right? Something like Space Dandy could never air before adult swim.

 

[Shard]

I do believe Sword Art Online is ending in January.

 

[Seda]

That would make it Sword Art Online's replacement, by the way, most likely.

Unless this is somehow airing on the Cartoon Network side of things, I would peg this on Toonami.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i really hope they move it up or they announce an expansion. putting something like this at 2am is pretty terrible.

 

[Bio-Frost]

Yeah I just watches the trailer. No way would this air on cartoon network. This is definitely going on Toonami.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Holy shit, man. I came as soon as I heard. This is amazing. Bless you, AS, for this great gift.

 

[Seda]

They wont, but they should move Naruto down. Still doesn't feel right up there with all the other dub broadcast premieres.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I could see it taking Bleach's place if they don't want to go earlier. It is an exclusive after all

We're neck deep in filler for a while anyway, people could wait a half hour

 

[Shard]

Well, they did hint that was in the cards a few months ago.

 

[Moaradin]

This is a pretty big deal. I've never heard of a dub premiering the same date as the Japanese broadcast before. I can't see them putting such a big opportunity like this on the 2am slot.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Well, when does Soul Eater end?

 

[Seda]

Maybe it is an expansion, air it at 11:30pm

iwanttobelieve

(seriously though, being SAO's replacement and not moving things around would be lame)

Well, when does Soul Eater end?

Mid February.

 

[Mature]

SO AMAZING.

No wonder the Toonami crew has been antsy and saying exciting stuff was happening in the future.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Soul Eater ends February i think.

maybe they do a sort of "special premiere" and air it at 11:30?

Spoiler

Attack on Titan/Space Dandy 11pm hour believe

 

[Seda]

So,

Sword Art Online's last episode is set to air January 18th, assuming it doesn't miss a week. However, DeMarco has practically confirmed that there will be at least one movie night during the holidays. So let's say Sword Art Online misses one week, and the finale airs on January 25th instead.

Well, if Space Dandy was SAO's replacement then, it would premiere on February 1st. Contradicting the blog post.

uh....I'll leave it at that I guess.

 

[Schadenfreude]

February, eh? There goes my theory.

Maybe it is an expansion, air it at 11:30pm

iwanttobelieve

(seriously though, being SAO's replacement and not moving things around would be lame)

This would be cool.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Would Sword Art not air on a movie night?

A regular movie would just lead into it.

Maybe they'll group the finale into two episodes and still air SAO on movie night to make it in time.

Having a 1 hour finale the week before would solve that

In fact, considering FLCL follows SAO's airtime, they could just double up multiple nights. We don't even know what's replacing FLCL. Maybe they'll leave it open to fill with doubleheaders!

 

[Seda]

Just thinking aloud

 

[Schadenfreude]

Just thinking aloud

I get you. It's just that there's a lot of ways to make this work. They showed last week that Clone Wars is expendable.

 

[Mature]

Would really like to see a Lich tweet right about now.

 

[Shard]

Would really like to see a Lich tweet right about now.

I have a feeling he is going to be casting many a magic missile against the wall when he wakes.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Space Dandy is going to air on Adult Swim Sundays

*Lich Laugh*

 

[Moaradin]

Space Dandy is going to air on Adult Swim Sundays

*Lich Laugh*

That does bring up an interesting point though. The obvious choice would be Toonami, but what if it didn't air on Saturdays? Is there any available during regular Adult Swim?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Would really like to see a Lich tweet right about now.

Dude's gonna be pissed as fuck. This is the biggest surprise revived Toonami has ever had and it was ruined.

 

[Seda]

So from most likely to least likely?:

1. Replaces Sword Art Online in the Toonami line-up
2. Airs in another Adult Swim spot?
3. Airs in a somehow expanded Toonami slot (unsure how likely expansion is but they did say it was a serious topic of discussion in the offices)
4. Airs on Cartoon Network during the day somewhere?

speculation is fun

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i never really do this simulcast thing. does stuff actually air online the same time it airs in Japan?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Casting my vote now for "Toonami |OT| Some dandy guys in space" Or something along those lines.

 

[Mature]

Dude's gonna be pissed as fuck. This is the biggest surprise revived Toonami has ever had and it was ruined.

This doesn't seem like something that could be kept a surprise, honestly. With such a formal announcement like this on their website, it's sort of unavoidable.

The writing was on the wall all along anyway.

 

[Shard]

More or less, but keeping in mind that is usually subbed anime. We are talking about an anime getting dubbed and aired on North American Television while airing on Japanese Television, and not being hundreds of episodes behind like One Piece.

 

[Beelzeboss]

i never really do this simulcast thing. does stuff actually air online the same time it airs in Japan?

I'm not sure how it would work for internet stuff but it's 12 hours ahead in Japan so they probably mean same day.
