The Official Toonami Thread: Fight tha powa!

what, you actually want Jormugand, a failed abortion, to be on Toonami? you need to be mentally evaluated, or at least stop popping those 700mg Lithium pills.

Me? I’m gonna sit back and get high as an elevator to mars on the rebirth of visual ganja that will come with the return of Toonami. Two more nights my brothers. REJOICE!!!

He is correct.

Spoiler

700mg is weak and ineficient!!! 1500mg should be the standard!!! I have never even heard of jormugand, but I’m getting the feeling that it should be some AS weeknight stuff and not on for the prime time. If they want success, they have already seen the path from APR1st. follow it, and the treasures will be great.

…Not sure about this Naruto thing, but it’ll be a while before we ever need worry. It could replace some of the stuff on AS weeknights at least. Ruroni kenshin and one piece belong on Toonami. make a spot in the schedule for movies, and this will be the shiznit that will rescue saturday night for us, the eternal youth.

i agree^ i think they should air four long ass animes on weeknight timeslots of 9PM to 11PM. this would work out well seeing as how most kids don’t fall asleep until 11pm these days. DBZ (or OG Dragon Ball) at 9pm, Hakusho at 9:30pm, One Piece at 10PM, and some other long ass anime @ 10:30. I think this would be a cool follow up to the weeknight comedy block.

12:00 a.m. – Bleach
12:30 a.m. – Deadman Wonderland
1:00 a.m. – Casshern Sins
1:30 a.m. – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2:00 a.m. – Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
2:30 a.m. – Cowboy Bebop

lol…They’re just whoring the name Toonami in order to boost their ratings.

If I didn’t mention it, that means it wasn’t even worth wasting my breath.

I think we should get a community list together, on REALISTIC, BALANCED lineups, and send it to Toonami.

Animes that are about 5 years old, and a rounded lineup.

One shounen, one seninen, one comedy, one nostalgia, one wild card

Psst, take the video out of your quote.

this isn’t tech talk, stop w/ that shyt

but ye i do agree. BUT, you can go2 the adult swim forums and give ur input.

How, exactly, are they whoring the Toonami name??

I think he means that the lineup isn’t much different from Adult Swim’s usual anime lineup.

lol yeah because the Toonami midnight runs from the past did not exist. Nothing wrong with the lineup to start off with, hell Deadman Wonderland was a good grab. Honestly would not have been interested if they went 100% nostalgia route like in April fools besides Bleach. Not surprised that they don’t have the budget to suddenly revamp the typical saturday night anime block all at once anyway. The new redoneToM bumps alone would easily separate how the old lineup was presented.

Idk why I am excited about this as a grown ass man…

I guess I’ll check it out…

This Toonami comeback was such ass to me. I knew it wasn’t ā€œcoming backā€. But really what did you people think was gonna happen? Anime isn’t strong like it was in the early 00’s. I think people just liked the idea of it coming back, it was nostalgia. Nothing more. We got Toonami back so watch it. Adult Swim trolled you, now take it!

Subtitles are probably one of the main reasons I’m nowhere up to date on Naruto*. I don’t really like to watch TV while doing nothing else. Usually I’ll watch when I’m working on a website or something and can go back and forth. I’m really weird in that I work better when multitasking. Obviously w/ subtitles I can’t do that - I miss way too much.

    • Last episode I watched on Hulu was
Spoiler

Saske beat Naruto around this waterfall and Kakashi carried him back to the village

Yea, I’m that far behind. Not even on Shippenden.

Don’t feel bad, I haven’t kept up with Naruto since then, either.

Toonami had these shows before it was cancelled and they were dumped into Adult Swim so he still doesn’t have much a case

Isnt this how toonami started?

Tatsunoko(gforce), some unknown shit, shit that has been played for 2 billion years(Johhny quest, thundercats), and some more unknown shit?

Give it time, extremley popular action show will be here soon enough, along with the saving Mech anime, and Justice legue replacement…

Ppl seem to forget that and expect it to comeback the way it was at its peak.

They have to prove its worth keeping in the long run. They ain’t bout to just throw out money for all these shows if its not gonna even be worth it.

That’s why ppl need to WATCH IT THIS SATURDAY REGARDLESS.

Where did you get that from?

I’m hoping they get some solid numbers for the ratings. If it’s better than they usually get, then it should stay for awhile. DeMarco said that they don’t have much of a budget for this incarnation of Toonami, so the ratings they get in the coming weeks will very much determine its future. The better it does, the better shows it’ll get.
