My bad, just an old habit, guy used to cause a lot of trouble on Funimation's forums, so I got used to razzing him. Laughing

But back to the topic at hand. Same here, I mean I know thats not saying much as i'm sure theres 1000's of different preferences & opinions on what Toonami should & should not air. But as long as there are a decent amount of good new & old series, i'll be satisfied with that.

Just for the love of ZOD, I hope & pray they don't show any of that modern cutsy Kawii-desu stuff. I mean shows like K-ON & Lucky Star are fine, but no was in Hades do they need to be on a block like Toonami. (But hey neither did Hamtaro, and that was a cute show, so who knows. Laughing )


Nah I understand, I wasn't berating you. It's just whenever I point it out, a bunch of buffoons on this site have to get on my case about "Maybe English isn't their first language" or "Leave him alone, they probably don't speak English that well". All I'm suggesting is a bit more grammar cohesion so people can actually read the posts somewhat comprehensively, but no, even that can't be suggested. It's not like I'm telling the person, "Come back when you learn English, foreigner," or anything. I'm not sure why making harmless suggestions automatically makes me the one in the wrong.

I certainly hope they do put something worth watching on Saturday night after Bleach. Kekkaishi was awesome, but it's worn out its stay, and DRRR and FMA: B, though both very epic, need to step aside for something new to come along. We can only hope. Maybe they can pull a couple of shows running on that 24-hour Funimation anime channel.

I still like the notion of Needless as part of the new lineup.

I haven't seen that, but I am almost certain that it is not an action show.

Toonami is an ACTION block. NOT an anime block. Anime was always a part, but it is NOT a block that's just for anime of any kind.

Those really should have been on TV a decade ago, they would have really good snug fits for the type of programming and attitude they aimed for at the time.

Yeah, some of these older titles/classics never got a chance to really shine back in the day, and I think it would be nice to see Toonami vary their lineup with some of the lesser-known gems of the period. Very Happy I also think some of these shows are appealing to fans of the old Toonami, as well as adults in general that watch late-night TV --- they're a little more light-hearted and/or episodic than the upcoming lineup, and they have elements that can catch the interest of both teens and adults (I think they'd also be cheaper to license, which is a plus).

Haruhi Suzumiya on Toonami?
No: Cause airing it chronologically would bore the viewers and airing it like the original broadcast would confuse them and if they somehow started airing Season 2, Endless 8 would make everyone rage

Tsubasa
No: Cause the anime adaption was terrible and a very dull experience


I dont think so. I liked the anime version for Tsubasa. Unfortunately it's extremely slow paced like Moribito which was also a good series as well.

It's definitely not a fit for this block and for the AS block.

Though some shouen jump titles are another story.Especially Naruto & One Piece. They should definitely make a return.

Though what i would definitely take an interest is their able to get a broadcast license for Gintama,Soul Eater and Black Cat. Especially Gintama, though they'll have to convince Section 23/Sentai Filmworks to issue an english dub first.
