i don't see how it could be anything but better if it's going to be like it was april 1st
No way, haha, you can't be serious.
And again, something I cannot enjoy
looks like they're still holding off on the schedule. you can see bleach, cowboy bebop and fma:brotherhood are still in the timeslots, but there's huge gaps of time between each one.
ok
more on this story later
i hope there will be naruto
final confirmed lineup

they said they can't air some of the older shows because of licensing costs and competitors (like nicktoons airing DBZ).
not really what i had in mind.. i was thinking more of a mix of the old and new, with a full block of no repeats. but it looks like we're getting half of the stuff that's been re-run on [as] ad nauseum and two new shows. never seen casshern or deadman so i'll give them a chance. it's a start i guess
oh and kekkaishi is gone so that's always a plus that show was terrible
Casshern is pretty fucking cool, rtil. Based off an old anime. Never heard of Deadman Wonderland. I'll take a look at that.
Wiki:
Deadman Wonderland (デッドマンワンダーランド Deddoman Wandārando?) is a manga series written by Jinsei Kataoka and illustrated by Kazuma Kondou, who also wrote and illustrated the Eureka Seven manga.
I am ok with this.
the op has me interested
Deadman Wonderland Opening Creditless (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzBZU1hKIzg#ws)
That was a strong OP. I have to admit this is the first time in five years that my TV has cable connected to it. Looking forward to this.

Oh man, now I really want to watch this. Doubt I'll watch it on toonami though, especially since I won't have access to cable for another month or so when I go back home.
i was really looking forward to the big-o but w.e it's not so bad
well they have been showing big o for the past few months but it's axed now
ineed Panty and STocking, Tiger and Bunny, and I will be fine :I
im kinda iffy about the idea of a dubbed panty and stocking. tiger and bunny would probably be cool though
they're also considering one piece, which is interesting. i don't really like the anime as much and i really don't like either of the dubs, but i'd be totally okay with it replacing bleach.

the p&s dub is actually good. problem is that panty swears a LOT. so if they were gonna put it on tv it'd be full of bleeps. but that might have a comedic effect

don't they have like "HORY FUCK" drawn as a sound effect at times, though? that'd be hard to get around
also i guess we don't really get toonami in canada ):
i'd have to watch them side by side to see if they changed any of the drawn sfx.. most are in english in the dub so maybe they did. what i really miss is panty's funny engrish, her "vat da fak" and "dieto", etc.. but they did a good job nonetheless.

yeah, this is much better than i expected, but panty's swears feel really out of place and cringy. oh well, would be cool to see basically anything directed by imaishi on toonami, although i feel like gurren lagann would fit better.

I'm sorry, but that's the only thing that makes a few episodes in the original version somewhat "hurhur". Although it was visually appealing, the show itself wasn't very funny, and FUNimation did a great job with turning its shit script into gold.

i didn't say funimation's dub was bad or that the original was funnier. i just said panty's swearing isn't as amusing.

Premieres are in bold.
Also worth noting that Bleach and Deadman Wonderland got higher ratings than Sunday's premiere of Metalocalypse (807,000) and the whole of Toonami 12-3am got higher ratings than Sunday's new The Eric Andre Show (588,000).

seems like a fairly solid premiere, especially for a holiday weekend dominated by sports. hopefully tomorrow will be even stronger.
Of course, Bleach lol. GITS is still that popular huh? Surprising.
i'm more surprised that bleach is that popular. i would've thought that after the manga got cancelled it would've died down.
deadman wonderland has given me a solid reason to be excited for every new toonami
Damn... they actually dubbed Deadman Wonderland?
Deadman Wonderland was pretty mediocre in my opinion... It was based on a good idea and the art as well as the animation was pretty nice but they kinda revert back into old and stale concepts quite quickly and the show neither has any hidden meanings nor a good conclusion.
I'm not sure why on earth they would air something like that rather than Madoka, Angel Beats or Ef, all of which even have a decent dub.
Actually, that excludes Madoka as the dub is not finished yet and also pretty damn bad. To be accurate, it's quite a shame that Toonami hasn't acquired that one instead, as the dub would probably have been way more professional and it would have been a great chance for them to introduce something a little less mainstream to the general audience...
wait
you just said madoka has a decent dub and then said it has a pretty damn bad dub
which is it

To be honest I think Deadman Wonderland is a much better fit for Toonami over madoka or angel beats (don't know much about ef). If you haven't already noticed, it's rare for Toonami (or the old Adult Swim stuff) to show things set in high schools, or with lots of loli-esque character designs and that kind of thing. The genre of more 'manly' violence seems to be their thing when you look at the rest of their line up, they go for series that should be automatically accepted by an American audience. As a long time anime watcher, even I was turned off from madoka for these kinds of things.
I'm sure they've aired a few exceptions at some point, but generally speaking I think this is their trend.
i think kott might mean that toonami should have dubbed it or something i'm not sure.. if that is the case then cartoon network/turner/toonami does not dub stuff they just purchase airing rights for shows. funimation pretty much dubs everything that you'd see on toonami. usually their dubs are pretty good but not always
Quote from: sev on June 8, 2012 06:19 PM
wait

Well, yeah... actually I was just trying to list some of the better recent shows while I noticed that most of these actually had dubbed. After that I pretty much screwed up my structure so I could rant about the Madoka dub...
But I think cipher is right about this one... the general theme of these shows probably is not as typical for the general audience as action oriented shows such as Deadman wonderland.
However, Madoka as well as Angel Beats do contain their fair share of action and violence and taking that albino girl in her bodysuit from Deadman Wonderland into account, I wouldn't really say that either, Angel Beats or Madoka have more loli/fanservice elements.
Ef, on the other hand, would pretty much be the oposite of this typical type of shows aired on Toonami (considering you assumotion is correct as I simply cannot judge it). Nevertheless, it would be a nice experimental choice for something new and that goes for Madoka and Angel Beats as well.
Finally, regarding the ratings on imdb, even less "manly" shows such as K-On, Angel Beats and Ef seem to be enjoyed more by a male audience so I definitely think it would be a nice idea to break the traditions by giving it a try, at least with one of those 'hybrid' shows that manage to find a decent balance of action and drama.
Angel Beats - because it's a drama disguised as a silly comedy/fighting anime
Madoka - because its something pretty gritty disguised as something innocent and cute (basically the other way around)
Ef - ...ok, this one doesn't relly fit the bill but it's one of the most mature animes that I have ever watched

Sorry, I'm pretty bad when it comes to the American entertainment industry... Germany has an entirely different CN/Adult Swim and I don't even have that channel. Of course, I mean Funimation. It didn't even take long until they dubbed Madoka in English as well as in German but unfortunately for both versions the voiceactors are completely miscast and I find it simply annoying that some of my favorites are ruined for entire markets because the professional companies rather focus on shows with themes that are more popular among the general audiences than trying out something now because the American market is pretty much flooded with Dragon Ball, Bleach and Naruto -esque stuff...
I see what you're getting at, but I feel like it's a little early in game to take "risks" with these kinds of shows. If they were to do it, they should probably wait at least a few months until they know Toonami has a dedicated following. That's when they can attempt to mix something new in.

Toonami - To Hell With Fear (HD 1080p) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYW9KfCwpB8#ws)
is casshern sins any good
it has a style throwing back to 80's anime with some modern touches, about a robot who can't die in a post-apocalyptic world under "the ruin" which he caused but can't figure out how. casshern learns just a little bit about himself every episode so the pace is fairly even. i like it, but it's definitely a hard contrast from deadman wonderland
august 4th FLCL will replace GITS:SAC.
Not sure what you problem is... FLCL is a pretty nice, yet unconventional show and I think that reairing a rather experimantal ova such as this show on the new toonami block indicates a step towards the right direction...
the thing is, FLCL has already been on adult swim. they've rerun it probably a dozen times if not more. not that i mind too much, but it would be nice to see new stuff instead.
I'm fine that they're airing it again, but I wish they would replace it with a show that should actually be replaced
as much as it would be nice, they just can't get rid of bleach so long as its ratings are as high as they are

i'm surprised they aren't rerunning deadman wonderland since it got good ratings. but i'm all for new content. at least new to toonami anyway.
Yeah content new to toonami is definitely the best news in my opinion, no one wants them to get stuck rerunning the sames shows like adult swim sometimes does.
I'm sure deadman wonderland will come back eventually anyways
