"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[Dan's Revenge]

I don't[hardly] pay enough attention to Twitter, so it comes to me as a surprise the fans who've trended a # of shows currently airing on Toonami along with #intruder2. A lot to like about that!

THE SHIRT HAS LANDED

Spoiler

 

[BrianLeague]

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.

This has been confirmed.

FUNimation announced at Katsucon that Attack on Titan will be holding its dub premiere at Anime Boston. I mention this because a DVD/BD release date still hasn't been announced. Also, if you recall, Aniplex premiered the SAO dub at Anime Boston there last year, while also announcing a Toonami deal. Since this has been such a highly requested and speculated show for the block, you might want to keep your eyes peeled.

One must wonder if people actually watch these things before they are so "highly requested". I mean it doesn't really apply to Titan since that show is actually really good and all, but a lot of people wanted SAO on Toonami. The results spoke for themselves.

And a lot of people watched it. It might have sucked and a portion of those viewers might be hatewatching, but they watched it and it's considered a success.

Guns. Lots of guns. Black Lagoon, March 28th. Don’t miss it.

I guess it's been delayed a week?

So, I guess that means we'll have some kind of special showing most likely a movie before then?

I'm guessing they're airing Evangelion 3.33 on the 15th for the sake of anniversary, similar to how they aired the first movie last year.

Alternatively, it could be Daylight Savings skipping over Soul Eater's time-slot for a week.

 

[Light Lucario]

I wouldn't mind if they aired 3.33 for that week. I'm kind of curious to check out the movie after all the comments I've heard about and while I wasn't really into the last two movies, at least not enough to see the mass appeal for the franchise, I thought that the first two EVA movies were pretty decent.

That would be my guess. March 9th at 2am (1am Central) we Spring forward an hour so I would assume no uncut Naruto either.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Well if you really like a lot of uncomfortable shonen-ai, people standing around in empty rooms with nothing happening other than Shinji getting berated, and tons of character assassination, then 3.33 is probably up your alley (hey that's almost like ANOTHER FRANCHISE...).

For fans like me who patiently for three years for it though, its the absolute nadir of the Evangelion franchise (and I say this considering the camrip originally released had more footage of the movie theater ceiling than that of the film). The only reason I'd like to see it air on Toonami is for the schadenfreude the thread would go through.

Looks like this was just a mistake (3/28 isn't even a Saturday). It's been changed back to March 22nd.

 

[TheCtes]

Well, I guess that's cleared out then. Didn't realize the 28th was a Friday. But now that daylight savings has been brought up, I do wonder what they'll do about that, because Soul Eater (and Naruto) should be the shows getting skipped on March 8th for that. Maybe they'll do that and double up Soul Eater for the finale and have no Naruto for two weeks? That would seem like the best idea to do it in my opinion.

 

[veemonjosh]

Just making sure, but do we have a talkback image set for Blue Exorcist?

Here they are:

I couldn't choose which image to go with, so whoever is in charge of making the talkback threads can decide.

The second is better

Eh, for other fans like me (yes they exist), i liked it more than 2.22 to be honest. Especially given that film used to be the punch bag of Evangelion post-release years ago on a certain forum and such.

If it actually airs on the block then i expect reactions to be similar to the EoTV episodes 25/26 from NGE. I'd rather it not air since the film requires more than one viewing to "click".

If no one makes the Blue Exorcist talkback by the time I come back home tonight (10-10:30 pm CST), I'll make it, but I don't want to be the permanent Blue Exorcist guy. But I will make it for week one if no one else steps in.
