Toonami is back.. at least for the day.

[Tails]

CN finally did it, took over AS and put Toonami with a new Tom, and old shows like Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Tenchi Muyo. I recommend turning it on, it has such a buzz that it's #1 trending on twitter. ^_^

[warghoul]

Eh that's why my Facebook was jumping with toonami... I forgot this was a thing,Though I wouldnt mind watching Big-O and Bebop again. Other than that don't waste my time.

[RU Joe]

Huh?
Someone mentioned Cowboy Bebop?
I love that series, but the end is so, so sad..
Sorry Tails but I'm not yet familiar with the other titles you mentioned.
I don't get out much I guess.

What does this mean?

[Tails]

What does this mean?
Toonami replaced Adult Swim for the day. Astro Boy is on right now.

[Dudebro]

Oh thanks for the warning I'll avoid AS today.

[Tails]

Dragon Ball Z On Adult Swim 2012 TOONAMI - YouTube

[DrunkN]

Oh thanks for the warning I'll avoid AS today.
I didn't know you were a regular watcher of [as]'s Anime lineup, DB.

[CrispyChicken]

I wish they had Toonami over Adult Swim. I can't stand 90% of the AS shows.

[Dudebro]

@DN- If it's a good anime I'll watch it. To be honest I haven't seen any anime on there recently at all.

@Chris- They got some bad shows for sure but they also have some good ones.

[Demon-Mask]

The ending of Cowboy Bebop gets me every time.
You'd like Big O. It's great.

[warghoul]

I agree with DM on that one I don't like anime in general but Bebop is one of my all time favorite shows and I like what little I've seen of Big-O.

[Demon-Mask]

Big O and Bebop feel like they were aiming for a western audience not a Japanese audience. As it turns out, both of them were more popular here than over in Japan.

[warghoul]

I haven't seen the show since it originally aired on adult swim over 10 years ago. I probably should watch it again but I don't think I will I like just having fond memories of things.

wasn't the guy in the big-o and spike the same voice actor?

[DrunkN]

Steve Blum? He's in everything.

[Dudebro]

Yeah and his best role to date was Urdnot Grunt in ME3

Being the new voice of Star Scream is pretty cool too.

[Demon-Mask]

I can't think of many bad roles Steven Blum did.

[alohaex]

I saw Tenchi and Outlaw Star they were great I wish they just let that run every Saturday then the lame shows they have now

[Seahawk]

There's this going on for those interested.

[Dudebro]

They got Steve Blum(the voice actor) fighting for it, something might actually happen.

[Demon-Mask]

Didn't he voice the robot dude that announced what show was coming on next?

[CrispyChicken]

@DM- Yes, he voiced Tom, the Toonami "announcer"

And yes please, bring this back lol.

[Tails]

Toonami is FULLY back! Toonami returns May 26 on Adult Swim (http://www.adultswim.com/shows/toonami/index.html)

[Dudebro]

I hope they replace the countless reruns of Robot Chicken and not something that's actually good.

[Demon-Mask]

That's my thinking as well, DB. Robot Chicken isn't very good in the first place, and the reruns are kind of annoying.

[CrispyChicken]

Awesome news! :D

[alohaex]

Thats great to hear that Toonami is back :)

[jim5cents]

AS became unwatchable when they didn't renew Futurama.

Toonami became unwatchable when Light killed L.

[DrunkN]

Toonami became unwatchable when Light killed L.
Has no one heard of spoiler tags around here? Anyways, I don't think that Toonami has ever even aired that show. That was just on [as]'s Saturday line up.

I'm still not totally sure on how the schedule will play out. Will Toonami's lineup be kid friendly, or will the anime be intended for more mature audiences?

[StarfoxFan2009]

If it's meant for adults, i wanna see Black Lagoon on there

[Dudebro]

That's my thinking as well, DB. Robot Chicken isn't very good in the first place, and the reruns are kind of annoying.
It's one of the only shows that I'll get up and change if I'm in the other room and can hear it.

[CrispyChicken]

Spoilers added to Jim's post. I'm glad I already watched Death Note before reading that :P

@DB- That's what I do to.

[jim5cents]

@dn, really? The show ended like 6 years ago or something. If you haven't seen it by now, then you are never going to watch it.

But it the spirit of spoilers...
For the first 25 episodes or so, the show rocks. Then light yagami (I'm a gay spelled backwards, kills L, which is the equivilant of joker killing batman halfway through the first issue and essentially ruined the series with about 25 episodes left

[CrispyChicken]

@dn, really? The show ended like 6 years ago or something. If you haven't seen it by now, then you are never going to watch it.


I just saw the show like last year. Why would people not watch it 6 years after it ended? Some people are watching DBZ for the first time and that has been over for nearly 10 years

YouTube - Eurotrip - "Miami Wice"

[Demon-Mask]

Was I supposed to find that humorous?
Because I didn't.
It wasn't funny or unfunny, it was just there.

[Tails]

Schedule released. Very dull.

Schedule:

12:00 AM - Bleach
12:30 AM - Deadman Wonderland
1:00 AM - Casshern Sins
1:30 AM - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
2:00 AM - Ghost in the Shell
2:30 AM - Cowboy Bebop
3:00-6:00 AM - Block Rerun

[Demon-Mask]

That's incredibly lame.
At least it isn't entirely the same reruns of the same shows.

[CrispyChicken]

12:00 AM - Bleach
12:30 AM - Deadman Wonderland
1:00 AM - Casshern Sins
1:30 AM - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
2:00 AM - Ghost in the Shell
2:30 AM - Cowboy Bebop
3:00-6:00 AM - Block Rerun

I like the list imo. FMA: Brotherhood is one of the best animes ever. I've heard Deadmand Wonderland is a pretty good anime. Although I've never seen/heard of Casshern Sins, it looks pretty cool.


Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop I haven't seen but also heard were good.

[Demon-Mask]

FMA: Brotherhood was great, but nowhere near the best. Better than the first FMA? Yes, by far. Still, I can think of many anime that are significantly more entertaining. Also, Ed's English voice is annoying.
Casshern Sins is pretty good, as is Deadman Wonderland.

Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop are the same things CN/AS/Toonami have been showing forever.
I love Cowboy Bebop, probably my favorite anime, but they really need to show something else.
Ghost in the Shell is also great, but again overplayed.

Some people haven't seen them, but they've both been playing on and off with pretty good frequency for ten years or so.

[AVGNJr1985]

I only love Ghost in the Shell. BTW if you guys ever want to watch old shows that were from Toonami, Then you should check out Toonami Aftermath.
