"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

I believe they are replacing it with just saying the word? I'm not particularly sure.

The problem with # and @ is that they're so ingrained now in the public eye in regards to Twitter that trying to get rid of em will cause a huge fracas. Expect tons of back peddling imminent.

Why the hell would you remove hashtags from Twitter? Y'know, the number one identifier? That's just asinine. It'd be like getting rid of cartoons on a channel dedicated to cartoons or something.

It'd be like getting rid of music from a channel called Music Television(MTV). Stupidity never stops anyone from doing anything.

Start your TVs/set your DVRs a little earlier than usual tomorrow night. The Tumblr left an ominous message today.

Lots of little goodies coming tomorrow
Stop on by a minute or so early if you want to see them all!
No spoilers!

So i think it may be a little ps4 review like the xboxone . They had a intro with the console and other goodies throughout the night so maybe thats why they would start early . Another thing could be a new intro , if you remember they posted a 5 second clip of the absolution just drifting in space over a plant it was new animation , i would be very shocked if they didnt use that this saturday . So hopefully new intro or a small PIE

A new intro isn't out of the question. It has been close to a year now with TOM 5 as it is...

...special announcement?

...special announcement?

Possibly could be.

Just to speculate though this may not be the result, is IGPX only has 4 episodes to go in its second run, which is where as we know would be where it's ending, so unless it's Big O S2 replacing, we'd get a returning or new show to the lineup, so it could be about that. The only returning show I'd see them getting the rights back for is Bebop with them having considered getting new tapes.

 

[MadMan400096]

...a new on-air look. Wasn't expecting that.

 

[Raidon Makoto]

I love the new logo!

 

[JShaggy]

Interesting. A new look and some new animations for Toonami.

Is the new logo permanent?

 

[Dan's Revenge]

I like the new logo and absolution --- and didn't except Viva Namida to appear in a replay of Episode 1 of Dandy, nice!

11:42 edit: Nice transition slide for "Space Dandy will return in a moment"

11:46 edit: Very nice on the "now-next-later" cards

 

[Looney Tunes Fan]

Interesting that they gave Toonami a new look, along with editing in the Japanese opening into the early Space Dandy episodes.

 

[ShamarDJ]

This is interesting ninja tunes is back!

 

[trance2009]

Very interesting. It's cleaner but I dig the retro look of the older font.

 

[PC!]

A new look/logo already? We haven't even had the current look for much more than a year, have we? Seems a little...short-lived.

 

[Soul]

But remember, we got new looks quite a few times back in the late 90's and early 2000's.

Especially during the final months of the Moltar era as well as the TOM 1 era.

 

[Light Lucario]

I liked the new look for the block as well. I wasn't expecting new animation for the intro. The up next cards also looked cleaner. I kind of liked the font they used in the previous bumpers though, but that's okay. I was surprised that they had the Japanese opening theme for Space Dandy's repeat of episode one. I thought that they would go back to the shorten opening for the first couple of episodes.
