Well, I'm glad they'll be airing the final two episodes of Hellsing Ultimate after all. And people should definitely watch Summer Wars.
Not particularly thrilled about that Broly movie, but he has his fans. |

Cowboy Bebop is good and all, but I don't understand how it makes the top anime list ever. I can list over a dozen better shows at the top of my head. |

Despite being mostly reruns, this is a pretty solid lineup. I've seen everything except Hellsing, but I may give Broly and the Eva films a rewatch.
No, they don't. Ever since Toonami's return all of their acquisitions have been one-and-done deals. According to them, it was cheaper that way. That's the reason they've barely done any reruns of their newly acquired shows, barring a few exceptions. They show movies so infrequently, I doubt the situation with them was ever any different, even before Toonami. Up until recently, the only films I can recall them ever re-running were the InuYasha films, which they showed multiple times over the course of a few years, and the first Bleach film, which re-aired at least once before they showed the 2nd film. So the fact that they rarely show movies, on top of the fact that, when they do, it's almost never a movie that's aired before, tells me that they do not retain the rights to films they air, with the possible exception of InuYasha, which they could have had a contract that let them air them several times, but even that's just speculation. For all we know, they may have just been paying for them again each time they wanted to air them. I would assume that's the case for this movie month as well. Because most are reruns, and they likely still had the broadcast tapes from last time, they were probably able to re-air them for a lot cheaper than a brand new film would've cost. The reason for the movie reruns in the first place was because they blew most of their budget on several big acquisitions this year (AOT, DBZ Kai, Gurren, Hellsing Ult, etc.), so they had to go cheap for movie month.
Not exactly. The miscommunication was that they wanted all 10, and they thought they had picked up all 10, when they really had just acquired the first 8. Once they realized this, they probably called up FUNimation immediately to strike a new deal for the last two, but likely either didn't have the contract worked out or weren't able procure broadcast tapes in time to air HU 9&10 in November like originally planned. |

I was talking about FUNi's bag, not Swimnami's, since those are all FUNi licenses.

Good that Hellsing is going to get to have a full run, I have to wonder what the deal was? It was probably something that wasn't included in the contract when it should have been. Considering Roberta's Blood Trail was never shown, and it wasn't until last year's movie month that they finally got around to Conqueror of Shamballa, this was rather annoying. I already have each of those shows on disc, so it wasn't a huge deal personally, but for folks watching for the first time on Toonami, it is a shame they might miss out.
Movie month doesn't do much for me since it seems to have several things they already aired last year, and the rest is stuff I already own. As cool as it is that Toonami is willing to get new material, I've had to get used to most of it being things I've had sitting on my shelves for years. |

No, they didn't. Summer Wars and Akira have run before, but Fullmetal, Eva 2.22, and DBZ 8 are all new to the block. And you can't really blame them for rerunning Akira and Summer Wars, two of the best anime films of their times. |

Actually, Eva 2.22 aired last year.

Because of some old licensing deals, Bebop is free for them to air (as are all the shows in the last few hours of Toonami, according to a recent AMA with the block's director.) So it would have to be doing REALLY poorly for Toonami to lose money on it. Similarly, Samurai Jack, Space Dandy and Big O will probably keep coming back to the block forever, because CN helped produce those shows and thus it costs them nothing to air them. |

Nice, can definitely live with that movie/ova schedule Toonami.
Especially Hellsing and FMA, and repeats of Akira and the Eva movies. Summer Wars is quite good but I'm not sure I'll re-watch it yet again and a DBZ movie isn't too bad. The main one they are not doing I would have liked to see that I thought might have a chance other than these was the Blue Exorcist movie since they just did the series (same as someone else mentioned earlier too). Pretty good list. Hellsing's a cool surprise, did not expect them to get the last two so fast since it sounded like it would take some time so that's great (even if I'll own them anyway). |

I hope not. I actually like the metal playing in the DBZ: Broly: The legendary super saiyan. The original sounds kinda boring, and I find the music to be pretty bad. |
