It's better then what HBO does. "Welp, the third season of Game of Thrones just wrapped up, so let's start airing those ads for season four immediately!" |

Wow, I am really surprised. That is an amazing pick-up.
Now if they pick up Toaru Majutsu no Index, my life will be complete. |

So Toonami will be airing Soul Eater? Sweet!
Despite that I already own the series, if I have Cartoon Network I would definitely want to watch it on TV because since it's getting more and more rare now, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the series out going into the mainstream! Hopefully, the airing of Soul Eater will gain new fans and that interest in having a a Soul Eater: Brotherhood type show will start gaining momentum because I really want to see the new Soul Eater series being more faithful to the manga this time around. Despite my problems with the ending, I still enjoyed the series and I would highly recommend it to everyone. |

Alright thanks, I think I've seen her working with 2 other dudes when she fights and they have their own partners. My question seemed kinda stupid, but it's good to know who the MC is before watching the show lol. |

This is a pretty awesome pick-up. I am really not a shounen fan but I actually like the Soul Eater manga (well, I like the later volumes, which is what I'm mainly read ... the beginning was more than a little rocky) a fair amount.
Maybe a Canadian station will pick this up now that an American one is so I can check out the anime as well (internet is too crappy for the other options out there, short of buying the DVDs themselves which I may eventually do). |

Honestly I could tell you and even show you what the real reason is and yet I get the feeling you'll still stick to your own personal assumption. |

I quit watching Bleach thanks to the fillers that were shoved in the middle of Mexico a.k.a. Hueco Mundo. Saw a few episodes of Soul Eater a few years ago. Think I might become a Soul Eater mark.

Funny people comments who probably don't even watch Toonami/Adult Swim.
Just do what people in Japan do, just DVR it. But it'll be on their website as well since they've been doing that so far.
This would be funny too when coming from typical anime fans.

That doesn't even begin to make sense. The show is 50 episodes long, the moment episode 1 airs and every knows it's Soul Eater, they could run to all those other services and not have to wait another 49 weeks to see the anime in its entirety. This whole "SUPAH SEEKRITS PREMIERE" is kind of stupid. That seems like a lot of effort to make one episode a kind of surprise, but people don't want surprises in the world of DVR. I also agree with sentiments that it should be on earlier. In fact, Naruto, Bleach, and this should be moved to before midnight, they were never intended to be adult-only shows and they never going to find their proper audience airing so late. It's an attempt to move in the right direction, but they're still so hampered by so many that I'm factors I'm surprised Toonami is still going. |

...Well, it had to happen eventually. The time slot could be problematic, though.

I almost choked on my pasta thanks to you.
I'm happy that Adult Swim picked up a new title, but the time slot is not very good: it should be earlier. I wonder why they opted not to schedule it at 12:30 or 1 AM. (I'd think 1 AM, because yeah Naruto.) |

Here's the real reason the Toonami crew wanted to be so hush-hush about oul Eater. Alright? That's their reason and not much else. No fear of leaking or any of that crap like someone else said. And I'm not interested in getting into another debate with whoever here disagrees with their way of doing things. I've had enough of that nonsense in previous Toonami-related threads. I'm just helping make things clear on what these guys motives are by having people hear from the horse's mouths.
