"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

It looks like Adult Swim Canada won't be getting Toonami, since they have no anime on their line up...

Also, Adult Swim has finally added some clips to Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins's page!

That's unfortunate. ):

But it is entirely expected for the time being.

Hopefully as Toonami's strength grows here on Adult Swim they'll start considering playing the likes of Cowboy Bebop and FLCL on their CN as their own Toonami.

You're right.
If Toonami is to ever expand, Adult Swim needs to focus on making sure it's a hit over here in the US first.

Looks like we have the next Toonami show on our hands

I enjoy when someone puts those together, so I hope to see a lot of these.

Awesome indeed.

I have so many ideas but I don't have the software to take advantage of the templates. I actually have a Fate/ZERO fake OP choreographed in my head but again, the problem is the lack of editing software (and getting AVAs to record the lines I would use in English), as well as ideas for Michiko & Hatchin, A Certain Magical Index, and Last Exile.

I really wish I knew anything about Sony Vegas right about now.

It looks like we're going to get a new promo this weekend with a new Big Guy according to DeMarco's Twitter. They're also working on new bumps and there is a new show coming in the future (no word if it's "new" new or a classic Toonami show making a return and I doubt DeMarco will drop any hints about it so don't ask him). No new intros for the moment though.

I guess this means that the current schedule isn't going to stick for much longer, our educated guesses that when GITS ends they'll start making changes is likely true. We'll probably get an indication what's going to be different when AS changes their advanced schedule before this month is over, as the current advanced schedule only goes until the end of June.

It was nice to have Ghost in the Shell on Toonami though, even if only briefly.

Did he say something about how far in the future that would be?

I don't think they'll make any major changes to the premiere schedule (Bleach, Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins), unless the new show is really new, then, they might move Casshern Sins back to 1:30 AM and the new show can take 1:00 AM. I think they should leave Deadman Wonderland at 12:30 AM, since it only has about 6 episodes left.

My guess is that they're planning to replace Ghost in the Shell with The Big O, FLCL, or Inuyasha. Maybe they might replace Cowboy Bebop as well, since that's going to be done with its run soon too. I think Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood will be staying on the schedule until Adult Swim loses the rights, if they are ever planning to let the rights go. If Adult Swim is planning to keep Fullmetal Alchemist, then they may put it on a break after this run finishes.

Where did he say they're getting a new show soon?
If so then I hope it's on the schedule by July.

If it's a classic then it'll probably be Outlaw Star or Gundam Wing which could replace Brotherhood or GITS. I don't see Bebop leaving for a while.

 

[Divinenega]

Would be interesting if it was Tiger and Bunny. The last VA annoucement is next week. Whatever it is unless it's an older show like The Big O or something it probably won't be coming till DW ends around August.

He did say "Yes" to the question of "something new coming down the pipeline" so how are people supposed to interpret that?

Well technically we do get something new every week.

 

[TheCtes]

They mentioned Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Fairy Tail, Inuyasha: The Final Act and Gundam Wing when talking about which shows they wanted if their budget grew. DeMarco also noted that he'd love to see One Piece back in the same post.

Perhaps one of these?

 

[El-Hazard]

Personally, I think once Deadman finishes, they might rerun it.

They will rerun it, but it definitely won't be reran in the 12:30 AM slot. If there's no new show, they're probably going to move Casshern Sins to 12:30 AM and put Deadman Wonderland at 1:00 AM.

If they have a new show, then Deadman Wonderland repeats will probably be at 1:30 AM, pushing back Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. By the time Deadman Wonderland is done, Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop will have finished their runs, so I think one of them will leave the schedule (most likely Ghost in the Shell).
