"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[RockmanDash]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and definitely yes on expanding to 11pm! Just those extra two slots of shows could make a wonderful difference : ).

 

[RagnarokSM]

So, how'd it go for getting ExpandToonami to trend? Any success?

 

[The Man in Black]

I believe it trended at least once in the US.

With the dub cast of Tenchi War on Geminar announced on Ohayacon a few days ago, who's willing to bet that it'll be on Toonami at some point?

No new promo on Toonami this coming saturday. Everyone is in Hawaii, so nothing new for two weeks.

I don't know, didn't that other Tenchi Muyo series bomb?

It's actually done well for the 3AM slot and had at least one decent week when it was earlier in the block so it may end up getting moved slightly earlier before the end of the run and may also not turn them off from getting War on Geminar once it is finished.

I hope not. While GXP has actually done fairly decently in the 3AM slot, I'd much rather see them pick up nearly anything else than another Tenchi series. There probably is a decent chance given how the crew still likes Tenchi, but I really don't want to see them going that route again.

The Tumblr now has a FAQ!

Q: Where’s Peter Cullen?
A: Peter Cullen has retired from VO except for a few very specific roles. We loved working with Peter and we love working with Howard Parker, or current promo VO guy now.

No more Peter?!?

I guess it makes sense. I remember reading an interview with Cullen where he was saying that aside from voicing Optimus Prime in various media, he didn't have much interest in voice acting, because he didn't like the attention it brought.

Guess that explains why he didn't return as Eeyore in the new Pooh movie a while back.

Also, apparently Nicktoons has the rights to the original DBZ, because the FAQ also says that airing that is a no specifically because another network called dibs, though he could be referring to Kai.

 

[Hypeathon]

The fact they put up an FAQ for their Tumblr proves how kind of tired they are of fans of Toonami asking the same questions over and over again as if they can't try to listen to what they've already been told.

 

[The Man in Black]

Well people actually wanted a FAQ too.

 

[vegeta95748]

It's been confirmed. Sym-Bionic Titan is on for another run (like we all knew it would be)

[Light Lucario]

Yeah, that's not surprising considering that it doesn't cost them to air the series and it has done relatively well in ratings. Thundercats is practically guaranteed another run due to its ratings once it finishes up. I just hope that whatever show they've picked up to replace Samurai 7 will be good, especially when the last two shows they got weren't good for me, although at least getting Naruto made a lot more sense and clearly paid off more than GXP.

 

[Gold Guy]

Well, I haven't seen Titan yet, so now is my chance.

 

[PeppeRaskell1]

Titan back for another round? Good. Earlier time slot would be better. New episodes (we wish!) even better.

 

[The Man in Black]

I want to share this video that myself and another user on here put together:

We can only hope...

 

[zoombie]

Is this some kind of NBC It's new to us kind of thing, or is this legit. Come on don't be playing jokes about that with us.

Don't really watch Thundercats, I just wish them luck, but I love Sym Bonic Titan, I would hope at the very least, they can do those 10 episodes that was written to finish off the series.

Edit: Checked the link, it is not offical. Figured I would have heard about it by now if it was true.
