The only way I will accept Fairy Tail is if it replaces Bleach.
If we lose more blocks to long running series it will kill Toonami for me.

Toriko is probably the heir to Bleach, Viz property and all that.
Funimation makes the dub

Based Jam makes me cry every time.
Is the Toriko anime even good? Most of what I've heard is that it's "meh-tastic" and "pales compared the the manga". I've never seen the show myself but is the general consensus that it would be much loved on Toonami or is just a few people who are big fans of the show talking it up?

Yes! Now this I can get behind. Bring Jerry Jewell to Toonami-GAF. This time for reals.
It's no were near as good as the manga. However it is still very good in it's own right and brings more "sillyness" to the franchise which is already weird. I recommend the manga over the anime but if you're not into manga than I still always recommend the anime.
I'm a huge fan of Toriko so take it as you will.

the problem being that this particular mediocre-at-best show is 175 episodes. i'll take one for the team if it's 26 episodes or 12 episodes, and maybe consider even 52 episodes. but 175? get that shit out of here.

If you haven't read the manga you'll have no problems. Manga readers mostly hem and haw at the toned down violence
3.5 years of an easy million a week show makes too much sense, and there is a good chance the fairy tail anime will return.

the current situation that forces Toonami to put a dub premiere of a popular show like Sword Art Online at 2am is far from ideal, and running right to another long runner that appeals to the same audience as Bleach/Naruto/One Piece is even less so. shouldn't the goal be to entice people who aren't ALREADY watching the block? that doesn't happen when you push the other shows out into the late night wasteland. sure, you might get some more people staying up 30 minutes later, but eventually the block's front end becomes stagnant and impenetrable to the people who have had enough of these types of long-runners and the general audience becomes less likely to be exposed to the other stuff.

I doubt it, it'll have the same audience as Bleach or Naruto or SAO. It's not some big underground series with a huge fanbase. It doesn't get much more mainstream than FT.
I can walk into Target and buy videogames based on Blech and Naruto (well, there hasn't been a Bleach game in a while, but they sold the PS3 game). Meanwhile, what the fuck is a Fairy Tail?
Doctor Decimate

wut. they're all mainstream shows in a pretty similar style.
BassForever

I meant that Fairy Tail has a much younger audience fan base and targets a younger audience when compared to Bleach or Naruto. You could very easily air something like FT on a Disney XD without having to censor much.
Just because something is mainstream doesn't mean it has the same audience base. There will be cross over but there are people out there who only watch/enjoy Fairy Tail and don't watch/enjoy Naruto/Bleach/One Piece.
You guys know what I mean. No one that likes Fairy Tail doesn't like Bleach/Naruto/One Piece. It's not some cult hit, it's the same sort of show we already have in the first hour and a half, only more vapid and predictable.
OK, but how many of those younger viewers would stay up late enough for Toonami? It's a relatively mainstream show that probably won't bring in anything new.
You are better off. It has all the predictability of Bleach with none of the trolling.

Mario is main stream, Call of Duty is main stream, obviously no one that likes Mario doesn't like Call of Duty <_<
Especially when there are FT fans who claim that One Piece is ripping off Fairy Tail...
Maybe not at 1:30AM but I think at midnight you could get some preteens to early teens who would stay up to watch it.

it means it holds a similar appeal. i highly doubt it's going to attract any more new viewers than a show that ISN'T a long-running shonen will.
BassForever said:
......are you comparing the similarities between Fairy Tail and the "Big Three" to Mario and Call of Duty?
Mario and Call of Duty are in completely different genres of games though....

Okay then replace Mario with Battlefield, while there is cross over there are people who only like or buy one or the other. That's my point yes while both FT and Bleach/Naruto/OP are shonen they don't all have an identical audience base. I'm not saying FT is going to bring hundreds of thousands of new fans, but it would certainly bring more new fans then say a series like Gurren Lagann or Fate/Zero.
Fair enough, but something like Attack on Titan would bring in a bigger audience and we wouldn't be stuck with it quite as long.

True, but I figure the big premier should air in the 11:30 slot, once Space Dandy finishes you can put Attack on Titan there. So format the block like this
11:30 - Big premier anime
12:00 - Long running money shonen
12:30 - Long running money shonen
1:00 - Long running money shonen
1:30 - Long running money shonen
2:00 - premier shorter/experimental series
2:30 - premier shorter/experimental series
3:00 - Cheap/free rerun
3:30 - Cheap/free rerun
4:00 - Cheap/free rerun
4:30 - Cheap/free rerun
5:00/5:30 - Popular shonen rerun hour
Lead off with the big name new series, then 2 hour block of the popular shows all the cool kids watch, then an hour of new shows that are shorter and change more often, then 2 hour block of reruns or cheap shows, then a final hour of a popular rerun shonen people would wake up to watch
That's a lot of long runners. I feel like 2 or 3 consistently long running shows (52+ episodes) is more than enough.

Well Funimation has both Toriko and Fairy Tail, both are popular, both are highly requested for Toonami, and both could easily take over for Bleach and Soul Eater when they end next year. We know they like to keep the schedule consistent for as long as they can to build a "repetition in people". They obviously aren't going to drop One Piece or Naruto Shippuden those shows will remain on the block for a long, long time.
