Where did you hear Killua's voice? I know that a user posted a clip of Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio in an elevator where all characters spoke (and they sound pretty good) in another article, but I have yet to see a clip of Killua. As for JoJo - WHERE THE HELL IS THE STARDUST CRUSADERS DUB!?!

Viz Media hasn't received the materials for Stardust Crusaders yet. They'll dub it once they receive those materials and will likely use the same cast as the test dub. (Although Viz doesn't know if they will use the same cast or not yet).

Killua's voice can be heard on the Toonami promo clip.

[Also FUNimation having dubbed at least part of Buu Saga is one of the worst kept secrets in the anime biz].

Actually they've only completed the first 98 episodes, aka through the Cell Arc. They still have to dub the remaining 61 episodes, along with Toriko's remaining 98 episodes.

Never really expected HxH to air on Toonami. Just wonder what show it will replace? (Dim W or Parasyte are my guesses).

Personally, I hope they get more shows and drop Shippuuden, since it's in filler mode. And move One Piece up out of a dead slot, since its now into the Thriller Bark arc.

That's neat, but with the series still on hiatus, I'm not too interested in starting it.

The anime is more accessible than the manga at this point. It concludes at a very good stopping point, so it feels satisfying as a whole, even though there is more story to tell.

They're not dubbing any more Toriko because it didn't sell.

Uh why didn't you get into it sooner?

But other than that looking forward for Hunter X Hunter airing on Toonami since the show will be a monster hit In ratings. Plus, this could be a huge sign that Williams Street mighty increase their relationship with Viz Media a lot more, since the only Viz title currently airing on the block is Naruto Shippuden.

Sweet! Now this show can really get popular (damn hiatus)!

Maybe a show that lasts only about 12 episodes? This is generally good since the limited viewing of those episodes will boost ratings, and plus that means more and more shows will get popularity on widely-viewed American television (Ex: Deadman Wonderland). It just didn't work for Dimension W.

I marathon'd all of this show on crunchyroll. The main character is pretty weak as a protagonist but all of his friends are pretty cool and the one re-occuring adversary is amazing. I didn't realize until after I finished the anime that the franchise is basically on indefinite hiatus because of the creator's dilly dallying so beware the showhole this anime will leave you in if that type of things gets you down. Basically the show ends at the beginning of a new arc that will probably never be continued/finished.

Having like 500,000 - 800,000 people watching your shows doesn't make you
"widely viewed".

One thing I don't look forward to is the Chimera Ant Arc. It was such a chore to get through when I was binging it on Crunchyroll. Imagine having to go through it for over a year.

So, will the children being murdered by the Ants be changed to pumpkins?

the only thing that i'm not sold on is the cast. personally they should have had VA like bailey or lowenthal to voice gon since their custom to voicing younger boys and from the looks of the sub version, doing gon especially in some emotional parts of the series is probably gonna be more demanding on erica's vocal chords that voicing ryuko from kill la kill.

This is going to be awesome! I envy anyone who gets to watch it.

If only the UK still had Toonami
