No! Why is there no more Prince of Tennis on Toonami? That makes me a sad panda. Seriously though, I always looked forward to watching it after Naruto and One Piece (which I watch for a few laughs). Does anyone know why they pulled it? I guess the ratings weren't high enough or something. So what's being played in their place? Or I just missed it in the column.

I've not heard any official reason for PoT and MAR getting pulled (and it isn't like Toonami usually gives out reasons to begin with). Also Zatch Bell is missing in action, as well. What is known at the moment is that The Fantastic Four cartoon is returning; we're getting the Teen Titan Tokyo movie again this week; Naruto looks to be in repeats for a couple of weeks; and One Piece and Bobobo-bo are still airing new shows.

Now, Bobobo-bo is almost to the end of its run and Zatch Bell, if it ever returns, is also toward the end of its first run episodes as well. So it's possible a slot may open up for PoT and/or MAR in the Fall. Then again, the shows may be gone for good. No one has a clue and Toonami (and CN in general) has such random programming changes that we may not know if these shows are back until they actually air. So my take on this is just to wait and see and hope one or both shows return (I actually prefer MAR to PoT but either would be better than Fantastic Four, IMO).

Uhh...yeah, the blurb about Solid State Society is COMPLETELY and totally wrong about it.

Solid State Society is a 100% original movie sequel/addition to the Stand Alone Complex franchise. It takes place after 2nd GIG and is completely and totally new.

There are two new channels airing anime for adults

Hmm, I'm going to guess (since we ran out of paper & crayons) Fuse .... and the many-times-previously-discussed-but-hasn't-actually-started-until-now-SciFi? At least Fuse sounds somewhat more familiar than most newly airing channels. *heads off to see if he gets Fuse*

Well, at least they got E7 going again, since that was the one most people were worried about NOT returning.

It's YTV. I'm just glad that they're not pulling it to put on something like... oh, I don't know. Monster Warriors. Bleach still has fans. Not bitter about anything, of course. *cough*Detective Conan*cough*

In all fairness, I honestly suspect that YTV only ran Detective Conan as a condition for licensing Fullmetal Alchemist. The 26 episodes they acquired were only considered a "test run". Although it was still awfully malicious of them to try and use the big CanCon Purge of '06 as an excuse to can it. I'm personally hoping that it will be back on the Anime Channel when Corus launches it.

Although if that is the case, I really have to wonder why they couldn't have made test running Fruits Basket a condition for airing Fullmetal Alchemist.

Oh, I am SO eternally pissed at Toonami right now!!! Oh well, hopefully we will get them back this fall, but I highly doubt it. I'll just have to find them online then.

2 corrections regarding your information on Toonami's lineup:

1. Naruto is NOT going to be on repeats. Check it out right here.

2. I'm pretty sure it's just the Teen Titans series instead of the movie. If it were the movie, it wouldn't only be a half an hour long, as stated here.

So there you have it.

It probably got cancelled because it could only be aired during midnight, since it had gore. (I heard the first case was about aperson whe decapitated someone with a small during a roller-coaster ride)

Remi isn't part of World Masterpiece Theater, it was indeed made by TMS, but World Masterpiece Theater was made by Nippon Animation.

About the Teen Titan series, does that mean that they're airing (or have already aired) new shows of teen titans?

Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society

A big round of applause, folks, for Sci Fi Channel!

Remember, Sci-Fi used to air anime years ago too, in the late 90's, before Adult Swim ever started. I know it's where I saw my first anime.
