Toonami

Nice!!

"and we promise, Toonami will not be the same."

Well, that's not a problem. cause it's always different anyway. And hey, 2015 is only 11 months away! Time will fly... time will fly...

Oh man, a 15th anniversary sequel to The Intruder? This is going to be good.

Maybe if the outpouring of hype is big enough (like, hashtag trending worldwide big), we could see a full 11 minute short out of this.

Whoa, a real new TIE after all this time? This new Toonami is really taking off. 2015 is a long ways off, but it's still very exciting to know that they're going to start doing big things like this again.

That is sick. The events of the original Intruder still reverberate within me to this day
R.I.P. T.O.M. I

...Tell them about it?

 

[ChildHood90s]

They're not terribly interested in Toonami. Sub only folks. XD

According to the backdoor schedule, Blue Exorcist is going to be airing at 1:30am and Soul Eater will be moving down to 2:00am on February 22nd. If this is the official schedule, then it's probable that Black Lagoon will be airing at 2:00am when it joins the lineup.

Doesn't make too much sense to put Blue Exorcist to 1:30 just to push it back a bit later, so that could be going on. Too bad for what little of Soul Eater is left, BE couldn't have had 2 from the start and then go to 1:30. I'd rather a show be bumped back half an hour, especially if its only starting, than to move another up half an hour near its end.

 

[Nobodyman]

Well, that's a surprise. But given how intense Black Lagoon supposedly is, I guess I can see why they'd put it in a later slot.

 

[veemonjosh]

Also, consider this: Blue Exorcist is a Shonen Jump series. Might as well put it together with the other three Shonen Jump series.

I look at that image and I can't help but notice TOM I had a bit of a beer gut on him.

 

[TheVileOne]

Still no Tiger & Bunny, I R disappoint.

But them airing Black Lagoon before Blue was so obvious. )))):

Actually, it's from Jump Square. Same magazine as To Love-Ru Darkness, although I can't imagine that Toonami will be showcasing that one.

That makes sense. They'd want to try putting a new show on the earliest timeslot possible and with what I've heard about Black Lagoon's content, putting it at a later slot makes sense too.

OR Adult Swim is so fond of their partnership with Aniplex that they wanted to bump up Blue Exorcist a half-hour earlier? I mean, Funimation has Space Dandy starting the line-up and One Piece after Naruto Shippuden, so I imagine they're balancing out the treatment between shows from different licensors.

Jump Square is a Shonen Jump magazine. Jump Sqaue also serializes D.Gray-Man, Rosario Vampire, and Prince of Tennis, all of which are considered Shonen Jump.

 

[macattack]

I'm going to say this: we should keep the backdoor confined to PM from this point forward. I've been talking it over with some of of my Toonami chat buddies and as far as we know it's the last backdoor DeMarco has not killed. DeMarco does lurk ToonZone and if he spots the backdoor he will have it killed, just like he had everything else killed, especially if someone Tweets about it.

Just a recommendation by me personally, and not by my chat buddies. Move along, move along.

And yeah, Jump Square is considered a Shonen Jump magazine, it's a spinoff that publishes monthly. Blue Exorcist, Rosario + Vampire, Claymore, etc., that publish in Jump Square are branded as "Shonen Jump" Stateside as well. Jump Square is meant to appeal to a slightly different, less mainstream demographic than the main Shonen Jump magazine, but it's still Jump.
