Yes. Imagine Slaughterhouse-five or Catch-22 starring the mafia instead of the army. That'll give you a good idea as to its structure and quality.

Next you're going to tell me you haven't seen Citizen Kane or Apocalypse Now.
Had to check your join date to make sure you weren't Andrex's alt.
They're books. Two of the best WWII books ever written. You need to go fix this right now. Go.
Son, I am disappoint.
...maybe. I gotta read A Song of Fire and Ice books 3 to the end

We really don't need four long-running shonen on the block.
Since Toonami has a good relationship with funimation, only a matter of time til Fairy Tail gets picked up
man god pls respond

Why you gotta remind me of the inevitable.

I could see something like this
11:30 new hotness until Bleach Blood War is ready
12:00 DBZ Kai -> Naruto Shippuden when Kai ends
12:30 Naruto Shippuden -> One Piece
1:00 One Piece -> Fairy Tail
Basically my thought is once Bleach's final arc anime becomes official, it'll get fast tracked onto the block as soon as Viz can start dubbing it and unless that times out perfectly with DBZ Kai ending it would have to go at the front of the block where it would probably do extremely well. Once Kai ends you could either slide Bleach down and put another new hotness shown at 11:30, or slide Shippuden and One Piece up and put another long running shonen AKA Fairy Tail at 1

FWIW I'd rather have Fairy Tail too, not because I think Fairy Tail is better then DBZ Kai but I've only read FT manga (which I enjoy) and seen snippets of the anime (which I liked). Having it on Toonami would give me an excuse to watch the whole thing without having to put aside time to marathon a 300+ episode series.
Neither have I, but that's because I chose not to read a single book in HS. I later learned that I loved reading, just have no ability to read fiction/prose anymore.

DBZ Kai be praised.
I'd like to avoid any shounen as derivative and unoriginal as Fairy Tail on the block.

Never seen Fairy Tail but DBZ Kai is clearly better for the block for multiple reasons
Yea, none of that is making me un-tired of DBZ.

That's fine, you can always change the channel, but I'm sure you'll watch and tell us every week how much you don't like Kai. Just like Bleach.
I hope psycho pass
Of course, that is the way of Toonami.

True, none of us could turn away from SAO and I'm looking forward to the day SAO II comes to toonami. The hate watch will be glorious.
The issue I have with FT is that it's just meh all around. At least with SAO you can hate it because of how terrible it can get. I guess FT has fanservice you can hate on maybe?
Welcome your infinite unclephil face overlords.

I am king of the bland anime defense force so I'm sure I'll enjoy FT just fine

Me neither, but it's a long ass shounen, which is all I need to know.
Gucci vs Shard?
Im going to settle this.
Kai Sucks. Bleach sucks. SAO is probably the best anime in years.
There. Something for you both to mind *together*, since I dont think toonamigaf likes SAO
Well, the anime has yet to reach the current manga arc, which begins with
Erza naked, chained up, and tortured, and all drawn in away to sexualize the scene. It's gross.
Yea, I would rather have Hunter X Hunter, but this is more picking the one of two evils that didn't get run into the ground more than anything else.

I think you guys will be really disappointed by the level of fanservice in the Fairy Tail anime. Honestly, I'd say current (Japan) One Piece is more fanservicey than the Fairy Tail anime.
I do know the anime tones it down, the OVAs on the other hand do not.

Toonami wouldn't air the OVAs even if they did air the TV series, so there's really no point in bringing them up.
Let's analyze that shall we.
Fairy Tail would be bland shit 101, and it's still going (with the anime having taken a hiatus at one point)
Hunter x Hunter would be excellent, and the anime is ending soon at 148 episodes. Of course, one could read the manga, but there's barely any chapters after the 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc and Togashi has ONCE AGAIN GONE ON HIATUS. Seriously, why doesn't he just hire an art team? The man's a millionaire, he could afford it. His wife's also a millionaire, they're not going to starve.
Sorry, I'm just tired of HxH going on hiatus. I know this time he had health issues but you'd think if he allowed an artist to help, he could just write.
I am giving the reason why the fanservice hype would be deflated.
Honestly part of me thinks part of the reason for the breaks, outside of Dragon Quest binges, is to write and rewrite. He probably spends a lot of that time off planning and replanning what he's going to do when he comes back from break.
