C&C - Toonami - [SATURDAYS]

[FantasyAlchemist]

It's almost like the actual shows are just the commercials and the Toonami bumps are the main attraction.

But that's probably because I don't care much for Bleach. I'm only really interested in the new shows.

Here's the new Toonami opening for those who missed it or don't have cable:

Hey, I thought we got rid of the weird [as] bumps!

What was up with that one with the chicken strips? Never mind.

That's pretty much how I'm treating Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist. I'll be paying attention to Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins since they're new, GITS since I need to watch the whole series for once, and I'm always watching Cowboy Bebop.

Awesome Deadman Wonderland bump/promo!

 

[Dynamite Soldier]

The first part of Toonami was excellent! Wish to stay up, but a boy's gotta get some rest. Maybe, I stay up for the next ten minutes and record the rest later.

So far, so good... except for that damn [adult swim] in the bottom right corner. And on some of the bumpers.

Game Review for I Am Alive!

Awesome

Sorry, Tom, I Am Alive is garbage.

 

[Evil Jeremy]

Sorry, Tom, I Am Alive is garbage.

Agreed.

What was the most negative review TOM gave prevviously?

 

[GingaDaiuchuu]

And TOM connects to the concepts in Casshern Sins. I found that amusing.

Is FM:A starting from episiode 1?

No, episode 32.

Yeah but come on, giving something an 8 out of 10 is just classic Toonami so it works.... well for tonight anyway.

I do kind of wish we had the longer 30 second intros if they're cutting most of the intros to 30 seconds for other shows sans Bleach but hey so far I am enjoying the little bits of Toonami we're getting and hope this will cause us to keep getting more of it from now on.

I'm really liking all the intros, both TOM's commentary and the clips they use from the show.

Agreed, I'm disappointed that they still have the [as] logo on the screen instead of a Toonami logo.
I even hated that back when they displayed the CN logo instead of Toonami. Its no big deal really but it would look a lot better if they did.

I was kinda hoping we'd have those custom Toonami intros for the shows, that was one of things that made Toonami unique compared to other blocks. Not those short intros.

Either way, I'm hoping the relaunch is a success so we can get some new shows on here. Would love to see Fairy Tail, Chaos;Head, Panty & Stocking, maybe even Gurren Lagann on Toonami.

Man I hope Toonami gets great ratings so it can expand. The new shows were great. Deadman Wonderland was flippin brutal and Casshern Sins seems intriguing as well. Overall pretty good night so far.

 

[Hypeathon]

Agreed.

I dunno. I remember though he couldn't give Dropship a rating because he was too frustrated with the 6th level. Played it 9,000 times too.

 

[GingaDaiuchuu]

It could use a little more Toonami branding. Hopefully it will get good ratings and they'll bring more of that back. For now, I have to get up in 6 hours for work, so I'll be going, but I enjoyed watching the return of Toonami while I could, and I'll be re-watching everything that gets uploaded, as well as the episodes if they get streamed. Alright, see you guys for now!

Bang...

 

[James Bester]

I agree, as happy as I was to see the return of the Toonami packaging, there could've definitely been more of a presence branding-wise. None of the shows got their own personal promos, aside from the few second mentions of them coming up next. And as mentioned before, they didn't even do the "now back to...." clips. They just showed the old bumps in their place. I guess it's no huge deal, just felt like less of a Toonami touch. Hopefully it builds from here.
