You know I can't really get hyped for this when us Canadians don't have Toonami and Anime on TV has become a rarity to begin with over her.

Pretty much guaranteed it's gonna be the dub since its director was in the video, and the obvious reason that Toonami only shows dubbed shows.

Talk about a major ratings guarantee, before the R1 home release.

On another note, Toonami may as well be called the FUNimation block right now.

It can't really be helped - they can't/won't work with Sentai for whatever reason, Viz hardly gets anything and everybody else hardly ever dubs anything.

Considering Bleach ends in October and the two Naruto's are in reruns... Yup.

Annoying. Rolling Eyes

Not like this surprises anyone. Considering that this will start airing about a month before the first 13 episodes become available for shipping i think I'll have to ask for Saturdays off of work for a while to get a my attack on titan fill before i receive my own copy Laughing

I'm betting those ratings are going to go through the roof...

Freakin' knew it was coming, but wow, check out that timeslot! Even the non-anime fans may end up taking a look at it.

Never have I seen Toonami do otherwise.

This just solidifies Toonami's rule of "Shows that have a ton of action but no substance or intellectual value". In other words we'll never see real masterpieces like Dennou Coil on there (I know, it's never been licensed for some reason, just an example).

In the end, it makes sense. Please the masses, and according to Michael Bay the masses like the violence and that's all.

It was inevitable, but I can't wait to experience this again though I always felt this show was best for marathoning. Ohh, the newcomers are in for a blast! Surprised
