Toonami is back brehs, May 26th

[Rebel Soldier]

The line up is understandable. They barely have the money for more shyt. Did anybody really expect them to go all out at the start?

Better ratings= more content. The original Toonami went through the same thing.

And let's be real, the new Toonami is going to be better than whatever Adult Swim has on Saturday so I'm not complaining.

 

[cfountain]

yeah true, I just had my hopes up because of the April Fool's Day thing.

Yeah they could have replaced Ghost and Bebop with Trigun, YYH or Outlaw Star.

Dunno if they still have the rights tho, it's been a MINUTE since any of those aired on CN.

I haven't seen Cashern Sins or Deadman wonderland before. Are those shows any good?

 

[Michael Knight]

DMWL is a good series. I'd rank it somewhere in the 7.5-8/10 range. I still havent watched Casshern Sins.

The schedule has been officially announced: Adult Swim's Toonami Block to Air Casshern Sins, Deadman Wonderland (Updated) - News - Anime News Network

I'm fine with no DBZ or Naruto, but this seems really half-assed already. I see no reason this should do better than the current Saturday line up (especially since it's essentially the same, just with two new shows).

And no Peter Cullen?

You gotta understand that [AS] and Toonami both had a lot of reruns back in the day. Shows like Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, DBZ, etc were ran numerous times which since it costs a lot to license these shows. They only pick up new series every 2-3 years.

I think they just picked up two new shows last year. So if the ratings are good we might see something new next year.
I was just hoping for some shows I never heard of

I just checked and they dont.
They have a few shows licensed right now so there's no telling what will show up on the schedule.

IMO Funimation did a hell of a job on the new One Piece dub. They kept the original japanese music and didn't change anything like Zoro's name or make pointless edits to try and tame a show that isn't that violent to begin with.

DBZ fans should keep in mind that Christopher Sabat and Sonny Strait pretty much replicate their Piccolo and Krillin voices for Zoro and Usopp.

I've bought the first 5 collections and plan on collecting them all. (Since the series shows no sign of ending soon now I'll probably buying them when I'm )

Anyone know if Deadman Wonderland is going to be dubbed in English or subbed?

I'm surprised this topic was made. Aren't some of you a little too old to be watching cartoons?

You mean cartoons airing on an "Adult Swim" block

 

[jmegamar]

Yea i used to watch adult swim when the boondocks was on. The line up hopefully is worth all this time.
