"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[bleachj0j]

Zetman would be a good replacement for Deadman Wonderland. Just as gritty and violent and same amount of episodes. Not sure on how far viz is with their dub though.

I personally wouldn't want to see Zetman on the lineup, because I find it to be a horrible manga adaption. Besides, I have a feeling that they'll put Panty and Stocking on.

Anyway, I'm hearing that Blue Exorcist got a dub . . . and that it is Neon Alley-bound. Doesn't guarantee that Fate/ZERO won't be joining it but I'm thinking Aniplex opted to throw in with Viz. Toonami really is becoming "FUNimation + Bleach".

Maybe Aniplex thinks that Blue Exorcist will do better on Neon Alley than Durarara!! did on Adult Swim.

Again Neon Alley won't effect whether or not Blue Exorcist gets on toonami.

The adaptation blasted through 60+ chapters in about 5 episodes, leaving out entire arcs.

Man. That does sound terrible. Good thing I chose to read the on-going manga instead.

Yeah, I watched the anime without knowing this and thought it was really terrible. Then I heard this and decided to give the series a second change, this time with the manga, which is pretty good. So yeah, people should just enjoy the manga and hopefully America wont get the anime >_>

Instead, to stay at seinen shows, I think it would be cool if Baccano aired on Toonami.

So a FUNimation Anime Expo panel is happening in a few minutes, I'll tell you guys if we hear any Toonami business. I already sent in a question about it to them.

 

[wjbraden]

From the Funi Panel

17:13:56 <bay|AX|FUNi> and yes, you get the fantastic anime again now

Wonder what this means?

 

[Butterstar]

Sorry for the double post, but this is urgent.

Scroll down just a tiny bit. Look where she's talking about Toonami. Guess what she says is coming this fall?

I hope she's not joking.

Spoiler

For those of you who don't get it, she means Hellsing.

Helling is probably a typo for Hellsing, considering how I've been watching all day and there have been a bunch of typos like that...

oh ok thanks
ill look it up ive never heard of it though

FUNimation has been infamously taking forever to release the Hellsing OVAs. She's probably saying that FUNi will finally begin rolling them out this fall. I don't think the OVAs will air on Toonami. FLCL is the only OVA of its kind to ever air on Adult Swim and it follows the half-hour format except for the finale. Hellsing laughs in the face of such a set format . . . and then blows the format's brains out.

So, Michiko to Hatchin was announced as licensed by FUNimation today at Anime Expo.
If Williams Street DOESN'T pick this up, in terms of their anime pick-ups? I might lose respect for them. THIS show is technically unofficially a part the Shinchiro Watanabe pedigree, as such its directed by Sayo Yamamoto, who is more or less Watanabe's protegee; most recently she directed the new Lupin III TV Series.

i feel the same right here. it's too good not to be on toonami.

Great speech by TOM about reruns on Toonami. I loved the line where he said, "Have no fear, plans are in place to secure the future."

Just awesome.

 

[macattack]

Sketch-man has an interesting analysis on how big Toonami's acquisitions budget might be. He tweeted this last night but I felt it merited discussion here on the board.

The best case scenario is that we have two 24-26 episodes series coming later this year (which would make total non-Bleach episode count somewhere in the range of 85-87 episodes). The worst case is that we're already done.

 

[Light Lucario]

I did like the new bumper with TOM talking about the necessity of reruns and ending it with saying that plans are in place to secure the future. I could see them getting at least one more new series after Deadman Wonderland ends. They could get another series once Casshern Sins ends its run, but it depends on what they can afford to get and if they have reached how many episodes they can order by then. I wouldn't mind if they brought back Durarara for the block if they still have the rights to it. I don't think it should replaced either Deadman Wonderland or Casshern Sins since I think that they should save those slots for new episodes to get more viewers, but I could see them putting it on at the 2AM slot after FLCL finishes up. I think that it would fit in with the new Toonami block pretty well.

I am completely fine with that future. Outlaw Star would be a good replacement for Cowboy Bebop. And I believe FLCL is replacing GITS once it wraps up its run right?
