"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[c@rt00nguy26]

So, I found this... It's an interview with Greg Ayres (voice of Ganta from Deadman Wonderland) from a while ago, before Adult Swim brought back Toonami.

I wonder how Adult Swim feels about anime right now though.

*sigh* Of course.

I like how he says Casshern and Deadman were picked up for Adult Swim not Toonami even though DeMarco denied that. Also he seems to have a hard time understanding that April 1st ratings weren't anything spectacular. The block wasn't brought back because of ratings but the fan demand/work by DeMarco and Steve Blum done after April 1st.

Plus does anyone else find it kind of ironic how he said this
"You might not know this, but...there are other people in the world besides you. :O I know, shocking."

Guys, the video FutureGohan uploaded is old news and means nothing. He also argues that Adult Swim doesn't care about anime, but why do they still dedicate six hours a week on Saturday for us? Because they want to play something different.

Adult Swim aren't the anime haters he pictures them to be and he needs to grow up.

I like how he's uploading stuff 3 years old and trying to use it against Adult Swim. Even though we, and even he himself knows Adult Swim's faculty has greatly changed between then and the present.

Honestly? I think the dude's bored and does this stuff to entice people.

I've recently been noticing Future Gohan's activity for the past few weeks because of what he did on Twitter and just the random comments I hear about him on here. His opinion is...pretty inaccurate and it seems more like he seeks attention than being taken very seriously by other Toonami fans now. I think it's one thing to express your opinion, but to argue with the very person who understands our love for Toonami is setting his own gravestone of ignorance and immaturity.

Sketch was spot on in his video(if there is one person who I think understands it very well, it's him) and sadly FutureGohan just isn't the type of person who likes losing in a debate(some people can hold their heads high and others..rant on).

I wouldn't take anything that he says or uploads now seriously.

I think he just gets joy out of starting things. He insults the whole fan base and everyone watching the block and he wonders why everyone is hating on him.

I'd like to believe Adult Swim has kinda... cooled off on some of that anime fan hate.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought back Toonami, right?

Though, if that T-shirt thing was true, that was a bit of a dick move giving it to someone who regularly voiceacts in anime.

Demarco "Everything he's saying about the ratings/shows is not. I dunno about the t-shirt, but "becuz anime is teh suck" makes fun of a poster on the as boards who HATED anime an didn't want us to show it. NOT anime fans."

Ohh...

This was the first I had ever heard of any of this, so I just wanted to make sure I was getting the full story.

I wonder if the part about Code Geass is true though. Adult Swim did death slot it at the 5AM slot along with Moribito. It would've made sense if they were forced to air them and they couldn't pull them off despite the low ratings.

To lighten up the mood a little, here is a humorous and well done Toonami vid.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

 

[El-Hazard]

Okay, that was pretty freakin' funny.
And surprisingly well put together. Geez.

 

[Gold Guy]

Oh my gosh, that was funny.

Although the irony is that Toonami once did air a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon special.

When Ned's Declassified showed up I died laughing.

Somebody needs to tell Greg Ayers "Cause Anime Is Teh S uck" is actually a dig at the poor spelling of the average AS forum goer circa 2003.
