The second I saw Funimation's post on Facebook I flipped the hell out seeing DBZ on Toonami again. Hearing Tom say new things is just amazing... My brain nearly exploded when I saw a classic Toonami bump. Really, if adult swim saturdays were Toonami themed from now on it would be amazing, and they could get some new anime on there (it's like all reruns now). I now pretty much just marathon whole series over a weekend, but if it is Toonami I may actually start watching again, even if it means I have to wait each week.
Really though, how amazing is this? Beats the hell out of them showing The Room again. |

Bandai still has broadcast and streaming rights to the various titles it used to distribute from what I recall. I'm guessing Cartoon Network was able to regain the distribution rights to their old Toonami titles. Same with acquiring the right to the original DBZ dub with Funi. Looks like the older Tenchi titles are still in limbo with Funi's acquisition of them while the Universal and Geneon Japanese merger is in progress. The third Tenchi OAV is being used right now instead. |

I'm not sure about the details, but from what Steve Blum said on his facebook page, the people at Cartoon Network and Adult Swim somehow really pulled some strings on this. |

Oh god, how saddening that I do not have cable where I am! D:
...Still, I got a hell of a kick out of seeing it on Youtube. "Got the test results back. Definitely got April Fool's." Amazing. xD |

I wish they would have shown a GOOD episode of Tenchi Muyo. OVA 3 is garbage.

Imagine that was an impossibility thanks to licensing rights acquired by Funi for the older titles still in limbo. |

This. This right here is the best night of my life.
Missed the first few shows, but thank god I got the TV turned on before Outlaw Star came on. Now I'm flipping to CN-West to catch everything that I missed

See this is a great little bit of fun.
Now, if they were to look at...oh...say...90's are all that and see the money success and money that's been doing for Nick and realise what they have in their hands....[/b] |

I forgot how solid the English dub of Outlaw Star was and a lot about that series generally. I miss Animaze.
So, who really played Melfina? The Encyclopedia entry credits the part to both Emily Brown and Ruby Marlowe (Bridget Hoffman).
I could believe that this took some doing. Certainly more than their prior stunts. I genuinely would never have expected anybody left at Williams Street to be willing to do something like this. I don't imagine that it cost a king's ransom, but I'm pretty sure they had to care significantly more than a little to do it. And good on them for it. They've chosen their episodes very well tonight. They've managed to muster a lot of iconic moments. So next up is... Blue Submarine No. 6?!? Holy crap, if they dug any deeper they'd've run afoul of the Balrog. I remember watching that all in one gulp on a Friday after school before I had a beard. And then... TRIGUN! Sweet. (Not 'technically' a Toonami show, but whatever) Last edited by Surrender Artist on Sun Apr 01, 2012 3:18 am; edited 3 times in total |

So glad to have Toonami back. Even if for just one day.

Dude, Blue Submarine No. 6??
My god, I remember watching that in 2000... I know, because it was before 9/11. Before all this crazy shit in the world happened. |

Since they've been plugging DVD boxsets after every episode, there is probably a short term deal going on where they show an ep, hawk the DVDs, and after tonight, everything goes back to normal.
