"Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

[Thepowerofnone]

While I am not a huge fan of Space Dandy, it feels good news for the fans of the show to own the first 13 episodes on DVD. I thought the show was a bit meh. It had nice animation, but I thought the show itself was a bit weird. Not saying it is bad,just not that great.

Turner networks, including CN/AS, are now back on Dish.

And Variety confirms this short term extension is until March. Hopefully that's enough time for the two companies to agree on a long term contract.

That's good news. Hopefully the ratings will start to pick up starting with this week.

Well at least the ratings will now increase back.

In continuing Toonami-related DVD news, IGPX has finally been license rescued by Discotek Media!

That, and Attack on Titan was announced a 2nd season -- in 2016 (for those who haven't seen news elsewhere)

I was expecting the second season to come out next year, but 2016 makes sense too since they probably want to have more chapters of the manga to come out to work with for the new season.

I'm glad that IGPX is getting a DVD release. I'm not sure if I'll buy it, but I did enjoy it, especially the second season, and it does deserve another release.

Ah, goody gumdrops. I was getting worried for a second.

I wasn't worried.

I thought Cartoon Network could put it on DVD.

I always knew that there will be a second season of Attack on Titan given its popularity.

 

[veemonjosh]

I thought Cartoon Network could put it on DVD.

As a co-production, Cartoon Network owns perpetual airing rights, but all distribution and merchandising rights fall with Production I.G.

Bandai Entertainment had licensed those rights back when Toonami was originally airing IGPX, but those expired sometime before Bandai dropped out of the market.

[Dan's Revenge]

First of all, nice.

Secondly, I'll just say this anyway... I wonder if because they're using the current logo on one of the shirts, if that means they plan to keep it around longer than the last one. May not mean anything, but just a thought. I do like the current one the most of the revival logos and the look of the block with it's bumpers n such.

 

[Looney Tunes Fan]

I find it weird that adult swim still has the Blue Exorcist page up, and they're still posting episodes of the series long after the show left Toonami: Watch Full Episodes of Blue Exorcist, a Part of Toonami on Adult Swim

Did Toonami get special digital rights to the series or what? (And could this also mean Gurren Lagann might get similar treatment after it finished?)

Finally, we have our first movie schedule! (Thanks to TitanTV for the info.)

As per tradition, movie nights will be starting at midnight, not 11:30 (AoT will still be rerunning there).

December 6:

11:30 - Attack on Titan
12:00 - Hellsing Ultimate IX
1:00 - Summer Wars
3:30-6:00 - Same shows as usual

 

[Looney Tunes Fan]

Still re-running Attack on Titan huh? Oh well, it'll be interesting having Hellsing at midnight instead of 2am.

 

[zoombie]

Summer Wars didn't they air that last year?

 

[Looney Tunes Fan]

Summer Wars didn't they air that last year?

Yeah, they said a while back that they'd be re-running a few films this year as well as some new ones. Although the listings aren't new, Toonami released them a while back as well: Toonami Announces “Month of Movies” 2014 Lineup; “Hellsing Ultimate” Returns! | NICKandMORE

 

[Light Lucario]

I'm not surprised that they're still keeping the Attack on Titans reruns. At least Summer Wars will be airing relatively early, so I should be able to watch it again with no problem.

 

[Daikun]

So, what are we gonna do with the movie reruns? Bump up the old talkback threads, or just leave them be?
