"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[Dan's Revenge]

If they ever do go back to airing the original IY, that they continue where they left off instead of starting completely over. Been a few years since I (as well as a lot of people still casually watching) have seen up to the end, and I don't want to have to wait 163 weeks + weeks it's doesn't play to finally see the end again. (I'm not interested in the DVDs, this is in terms of them playing the series on TV)

Man, how long was Inuyasha there? I remember it airing on AS when I was at a hotel in 2002.

InuYasha premiered in the august of 2002, I believe, so they've played it around for 11.5 years.

It premiered on August 31, 2002.

Was Inuyasha able to air all of its episodes under Toonami? I'm just a bit curious about that and since I don't watch the series, I'm not sure how far they actually got.

 

[Nobodyman]

The first 20 or so episodes of Inuyasha were pretty good. Everything else (aside from maybe an episode here or there) was bleh. I honestly kinda wish they'd taken it off the air the sooner.

But still, as one of earlier anime I watched, I can't deny that I have some fond memories of it. Oh yeah, and great music.

After this week, they would still have about 40 more episodes had the rights not expire. So, no.

BTW I do not believe that AS was airing IY constantly and I think ASA lost the rights to it for a while and then Toonami got new tapes cheap.

I think they had it until Toonami got on when they just decided to not play it for the first 6 months of their run.

Just noticed how out of date the schedule on the first page is.

 

[Gold Guy]

Since no one else is doing it, I'll handle the Blue Exorcist talkbacks.

Updated.

Eh, Samurai Jack REALLY shouldn't be listed as new Brian...

 

[Ishtar]

Eh, Samurai Jack REALLY shouldn't be listed as new Brian...

Considering these episodes actually HAVE aired on Toonami before, I agree.

 

[Daikun]

I agree with Soul and Ishtar. I changed it to make it more accurate.

Regarding InuYasha...

Ppl complaining about Inuyasha: that deal was made years and years ago. Show aired for over a decade! May still be back, too! Thank you!

I loved Inuyasha too. I was the one who put it back on the air. But sometimes you lose the rights. That's TV for ya!

We'll do our best to make it up to you folks who are sad. Nothing stays the same forever!

@Clarknova1 Question: How much advance notice do you get at AS about when right expire? It seems it's like a week at best sometimes...

@AmbientVirus Ehhh this was a special case. Deal made quite a while ago and it's end was not on our radar.

Also:

And one last bit of info. Starting in March, the Toonami tumblr Q&A will go bi-monthly. Next one will be the last Sunday in April. Just FYI.

Christ. Hasn't Inuyasha been in the graveyard slot, like, forever? I mean, its run ended seven years ago. Do that many people really care?

Apparently so. Maybe some people who were watching the series for the first time through Toonami were more upset. I could easily see them trying to either get it back or more likely get Final Act on the lineup to make up for the sudden replacement on their lineup.

Augh! Seriously? It's bad enough to wait a whole month to go by before we can ask questions, but two?

And what's his rationale for doing this?

Always a ton of complaints, which is no biggie. More that there weren't a lot of questions beyond "what about X show?"

News flash, Jason: It doesn't matter how long you make the fanbase wait. They will ALWAYS take that opportunity to ask that question.

 

[Light Lucario]

That is too bad since I look forward to the Q&A sessions. I don't really see how having the sessions bi-monthly would provide more questions besides "What about X show/" either.

If they really like it they should just get the season sets, they're no where near as expensive as they use to be (most of them less than $20)
