"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

I'd prefer to see Madoka on the block, but I don't have Facebook, so I can't vote in that poll, or see what is listed, anyway.

Here's the poll with the choices, and as of right now, the number of votes for each choice:

What Aniplex Title would you like to see Premiere on Toonami?

• Blue Exorcist - 85 votes
• Fate/Zero - 183 votes
• Madoka Magica - 212 votes
• Sword Art Online - 128 votes
• Magi - 32 votes
• Oreimo - 20 votes
• Vividred Operation- 11 votes
• Blast of Tempest - 9 votes
• Oreshura - 4 votes
• Gurren Lagann - 133 votes

Not surprised to see Fate/ZERO and Madoka taking the lead on that poll, but I'm surprised that Sword Art is essentially tied with Gurren Lagann.

Thank you for posting the poll results. I'm glad to see that Madoka is leading in and I hope that it gets to air on the block. It doesn't need as much exposure as a lot of other series do, but it would be awesome and it could get some pretty nice ratings due to how popular it is.

You're welcome, Light. Glad I could help.

Man....Gurren Lagann has Toonami written all over it. The show is so friggen EPIC. And NO, not everyone has watched it on SyFy.

 

[Gold Guy]

I'm rooting for Gurren Lagann, Madoka, and Blue Exorcist.

Gurren Lagann would be perfect for the block, Madoka is one of the highest quality anime in recent years, and Blue Exorcist would fit right in with Bleach, Naruto, and Soul Eater, being another fantasy shonen anime.

 

[The Man in Black]

I'm not quite sure why Oreimo is on that poll. As much as I like "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" it's really not a Toonami show even by a stretch.. Vividred would fit better but that's perhaps a bit cutesy for the average viewer. As far as shows like that, give me Symphogear first. Also Vividred is still airing in Japan so a dub would be a decent ways away I would imagine.

No R.O.D. The TV? Another show AS passed over years ago.

Blue Exorcist looks like it might be a bit too similar to Bleach and Soul Eater. I don't think it would be wise to have all three shows on at once.

Madoka got my vote, though I'm kind of curious about Fate/Zero. And I don't know what the hell Oreimo's doing on the poll.

..Ugh, I really hope Sword Art Online doesn't find its way to Toonami. While episodes 1-14 are decent(outside of the few eye rolling moments), the second half is one of the most distasteful pieces of animation that I had to go through for review. Its like grabbing everything you like in the plot and throwing it into the garbage to burn horrendously.

I'm sad Sword Art Online is higher than Magi. A much smarter show altogether

I've been hearing good things about Magi, so I'd watch it of Toonami aired it.

 

[Zipp_Rezzeppa]

I'd probably watch Blue Exorcist and/or Maji, but that's it. And even though I have no desire to re-watch Madoka I would be curious to see what kind of numbers it would pull in. Having said that I would still be very surprised if Toonami picked it up.

Here's the Soul Eater promo:

Same here. I'd be fine with any of those three especially Gurren Lagann because it's one of my favorite anime.

 

[Sketch]

That Soul Eater promo was pretty freak'n sweet.

 

[MDawg]

Per the Toonami Tumblr, their YouTube channel videos are now publicly viewable. New videos will be listed after a promo airs.

Hmmmmmmm...

Hmmmmmmm...

I wouldn't imagine they do anything. As the saying goes "Spring Ahead and Fall Back" so we'll lose an hour. If anything goes on, I'd say perhaps for that week only, Black Dynamite and Boondocks are lifted to retain the whole 6 hours

DST begins on March 10 and Toonami's 16th birthday happens a week later. Doesn't that seem uniquely coincidental?

Also, if what you said is correct...

Black Dynamite and Boondocks are lifted to retain the whole 6 hours

Toonami would air at 11PM starting that week.
