OK let's face it. This Tom cat is a p**sy.
Toonami needs a darker environment to cater to its mature fanbase. This happy go lucky Absolution crap isn't gonna cut it.
I suggest that Toonami creates a new environment- a tattered Absolution with blood on the walls, dim lights that flicker on and off, and creepy hollow space sounds from the deepest reaches of outer space to create a sense of fear about the unknown. And all the while it'll be hosted by a new robot... don't you if you want to call him "Tom" sounds gay. I was thinking about calling him "Chaos" and he's a robot that has the physique of Tom except his suit is black and he's got a red visor and he's got a deeper voice that makes him sound older than 15 and he's just a really distant, morbid guy who is trapped in the reality of his situation but still manages to show us dark, TV-MA anime from the confines of his doomed space vessel.

You'd make the TOM4 of this generation.

Actually scratch that. Chaos isn't TRAPPED in his situation, he EMBRACES it. He feeds on the darkness. He's got a special connection to hell.

All I can say is...
Mature toonami =/= horrific toonami.
Mature toonami =/= bloody toonami.
Toonami may be back on [as] but that doesn't mean it need to intentonally try and, well, for lack of an actual word, "outgore" itself. It doesn't need to try and come off as more violent or bloody nor does it need to come off as fearful. Unknown is alright, since toonami itself was always a block that had felt out of this world.
The original toonami was like a model for the way that anime should be presented in the U.S. Even AS ACTN in its older days was obviously turning to toonami for influence. There's nothing wrong with the absolution formula. The ship is complex enough and the block manages to keep very nice technology making a viewer in awe of it. Also if they fix the music problem... And the whole fact of the name of the host TOM, it's actually kind of okay. Chaos just sounds like "we're trying too hard." Try a different name. The whole point of there being a name like TOM is to try and make the block more relatable and to balance out its errie-ness. Also TOM stands for Toonami Operations Module.
But if toonami even tries to be too horrific or overly bloody, it's going to fail... It's just supposed to show us a new standard of quality action. And Anarchy (chaos), horror, nor blood and gore summarize action.

Zenigundam is rather... trollish. He can be rational but sometimes he just makes threads with completely bullocks points, probably to just entertain himself.

To be completely honest, I even thought the swear words in TOM's script was really unnecessary. The fact that you want TOM to be some dark evil swearing illicit murdering space robot just because its original viewers are now a bit older and the block starts at midnight is immature. That isn't "Toonami faithful", that's more like "Toonami rebellious".
Wait, that's Zenigundam. He has to be joking!

You can't punch people over the internet.
Please don't pull a tough guy act, you're just going to make us look bad.
