I can't imagine Inuyasha: The Final Act not being in this line up. I mean that dub has been in production for a very, very long time from what I know. And it's only 26 episodes too.

Well regardless, I hope for some cool stuff. Smile

You might have a point about that. But i'm preety sure it's not the case.

Also i can see the final Act on AS as well since it's prequel is still showing.

Woah, I didn't know this guy had the same last name is me :0

De Marco usually has a space between "De" and "Marco" tho, (it's literally "Of Marco" in english). I suppose DeMarco is what he goes by professionally

I just hope there isn't a bitch fest when they start toonami back up when they don't see the anime they want, as far as I see it, lets see what happens on the 26th then leave it up to judgement

The chance to once and for all be able to finish Inuyasha would be great. If only to say I completed the series and see how the series truly ended.

Keeping the schedule under wraps is certainly doing its job of adding some anticipation so far as I'm concerned. I probably would've watched regardless, but this adds some extra fun. We're so nigh omniscient about television these days that having it be a mystery is an entertaining novelty.

they did get Durarara so 26 episodes is not a impossibility however i see them getting Madoka Magica, Panty and Stocking, and maybe Highschool of the Dead. Also i can forsee either Naruto or One Piece for another long running show

It's inevitable if that happens.

Not fake so much as not updated. The network/channels give the information about their programing to the TV guide services. If they don't give them the information, for whatever reason, the TV guides don't get updated. Case in point is the April 1st Toonami tryout. My DVR never showed the correct programming - I just figured out something was up and recorded the shows it thought were going to air to get a copy to watch the next day (it potentially got fixed for the West Coast TV guide feeds but I didn't hear one way or the other if that actually happened or not).

BTW, I think a lot of fans have forgotten that Cartoon Network/Adult Swim has a history of changing the their schedule with less than twenty four hour notice. It's always made using TV guides a risk with the network but I guess it wasn't so noticeable until DVRs started becoming much more common.

Anti-Toonami much, aren't ya?

InuYasha: Final Act is a must for Toonami.

Quote:
ANN previously posted TV Guide's listing for Toonami's programming block, but DeMarco responded via Twitter, "That is NOT the lineup. But to be clear, I don't think that's a bad lineup."


Apparently, Toonami may keep few anime such as Bleach and discards other anime such as original InuYasha. That's what I think.

Not really, I mean I loved the shows on the old Toonami when it came out. But I liked the shows. The shows Adult Swim Action has aired over the past six years drove me off the block. And I expect more of the same.

Not to mention, making it a surprise, on Memorial Day Weekend, given the timeslot is a HUGE gamble. There's going to be NBA finals and a UFC heavyweight title fight. You need to give me a pretty good reason to choose Toonami over that, and going "It might be good, or it might be the same type of show that drove people off Adult Swim in the first place" doesn't make for the most compelling advertisement.

I think that absolutely Bleach is still going to be playing. It's a long-runner and there's no real reason to stop playing it at this point.

But the rest of the block should be Mightor, Shazzan, and Teen Force.
