Interesting Time slot they got there.

[Pandaka]

The time slot for AS' current anime segment?

How is that interesting?

[Xcaptainco]

This is awesome!

I have mixed feelings about this.  What I was hoping for was Toonami back in its late afternoon, early evening incarnation - in addition to the [as] Action Block, not as a replacement or a rebranding.     Even a Midnight Run version would be fine - if it was on weekdays.  Otherwise, it's just putting Tom in the bumps instead of the trash they've been assaulting my eyeballs with recently, which I guess would still be an improvement.

I guess I'll have to wait and see what they're actually doing with it before I rant, but at the moment, I'm not feeling very hopeful.

Well Since Toonami used to be afternoons, then Evenings.
AS' time block isn't generally what one think when they see 'Toonami'

[Xcaptainco]

Okay.

[Jeffchao228]

Well just to give everyone a heads up, Adult Swim's Facebook group has reach another new milestone, 20,000 shares of the article, well looks like this board is the winner of the day, and now I am off to bed, I can sleep happy now.

[Pandaka]

Well toonami had the Midnight Run.

If anything, its the precursor to AS' night time anime block.

It deserves the block more than AS' current anime abomination.

i kinda feel the same way. i mean...i think its cool it came back but im gonna wait to see wuts on the schedule before im either OMGAH YAY or meh watevz.

cuz if thier jus gonna have the same schedule but have TOM then i guess its ok? but not much diff. but if they include some old shows and hopefully get a new one or so ill be pretty happy. ~ id jus kinda like a change in the schedule.

[vumanchu]

I support that happening. El Psy Congroo!

[Pandaka]

No all it is, is AS thinking "humm... Whats a way that we dont have to spend money on more new anime, that fails in ratings, but still satisfies the horrible weeaboos online? Oh I know! Lets cash in on nostalgia!"

Its a cheap, and seemingly effective way to kill two birds with one stone.

I mean its nifty and all... but its not worth getting worked up over.

I get it if youre a normal person who does not download anime... but us here, we are horrible weeaboos.

If we feel the need for a nostalgia bomb... we go download Outlaw Star or Tenchi in whole... Without commercials, to watch whenever we want.

So anyone who is well off enough to download, or hell even stream online, really has no reason to go apeshit over this.

It is cool though... just nothing amazing.

... That is unless they get new original content.

Big O season 3 would make me blow up everywhere.

Everywhere.

[cidthekittyisfun]

i guess that explains why im not all SLDFKAJSLFKJAFLKAFJA FOMGAH TOONAMMIII SLFDJASLFKAJFLSKJFALFJALFKJFL over it. i think its cool but i also think "eh prolly something ive seen." heck i stopped watching [as] all together as soon as i got DSL and discovered the wonderful world of anime on the internet >_>

i wouldnt mind if they got a show or so i havent seen tho. im particularly lazy lately when it comes to watching stuff online, at least if its on tv and there at a certain time and day ill have an excuse..that is until i forget about it, or i get tired of waiting a week and find it online and marathon it >_>

big o seas3? idk wut they could possibly have with a seas3 but i would be intrigued and would like to see that! i love big o <3

[SaintCervixCancer]

Since I don't have cable, I'll just make sure to watch anything new they put on...elsewhere.

So watch twice as hard for me, nerd.

Something interesting that was linked in the ANN thread was an image for an [AS] bump that showed the minutes of a Acquisition Meeting. The titles being discussed are highlighted in yellow to hide them, but you can easily make out that the two titles are 'Angel Beats' and 'Highschool of the Dead' if you just focus on the small parts of the letters that extend above and below the highlighted region.

Of course, at the end the two titles are dismissed for being unable to 'meet purchasing criteria' but ya never know.

Interesting.  I'd like it if it were those two shows myself, but whatever they end up getting I just hope it isn't something I've already purchased like Durarara was, so I don't have a reason not to watch, especially if they're gonna have some other old school stuff on after it.

[conanwong]

i just might get cable again for this.

I hope this works out

THEY'RE AIRING DEADMAN WONDERLAND!!!!


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GOOO,

[Dark_Cloud_Overhead]

Adult Swim's Toonami Block to Air Casshern Sins, Deadman Wonderland (Updated)

Well, looks like I got my wish: two shows I don't own.  Not only that, but they're two shows I've scarcely even heard about.  I saw the first episode of Casshern cuz it was On Demand for free a while back, but I didn't really think much of it.  Deadman Wonderland hasn't been released on DVD yet here, so this'll be it's English dub debut it looks like.  Anyway, hope they go over well if only for the future of Toonami.

[Megiddo]

Hahahahahahahahah

Oh man. Deadman I could see maybe working, but Casshern?

Oh man. If there's a thread for the Casshern premier it's going to be hilarious.

[against_the_tides]

I think the discussion of money is more interesting there. Much less room for error here, it seems like. Kinda disappointed that none of the old shows will come back for at least a little nostalgia. C'mon, Outlaw Star would still be great. No worse than Bebop.

Now, if I can avoid most of the talk/hype about the new shows, this might turn out nice. And, since it sounds like these aren't already-huge "hits" coming, it might be good to see this as a mostly-new experience for everybody.

[LUNI_TUNZ]

I guess they want to start off with all new shows, any Toonami Classic show may come along later.

[conanwong]

there goes my excitement. deadman wonderland is passable but casshern sins?

Curious, why don't you think Casshern will do well?

[Pandaka]

Doesent seem like a AS show.

Its like a mix of Kikaider and Moribito... Both of which failed miserably on AS, despite being not that bad. (Moribito at least)

AS' viewers just want mindless violence and ####.

Which Deadman will work for.

Never the less, Im pretty shocked over how soon the new shows will air without much advertising.

Well, i dont watch weekend AS, since im usually out.

But i havent seen any commercials for them on the weekdays.
