| Dub voices are usually disappointing, only okay one here was Kayaba. I lol'd at the pronunciation of his name though (not that I can blame the VAs I guess, but still...). Looking forward mostly to see how it turns out, doubt I'll watch every bit. |
| *sigh* I guess it will get good reception until the second arc. America seems to like these kinds of stories anyway. That tentacle scene though... |

KhanhCPham said: Well, depending on where you live, incest doesn't include relations with cousins. It's like that in certain American states and certain European countries, but I guess it is a bit much regardless of that.Wow I'm surprise they are viewing this because western shows tend to avoid shows with incest unless its taken as a joke. |

 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of new users and more SAO threads. Heck, we still get plenty. |
| I hate the dub already, "The reason I created Sword ArT online" too much emphasis on the 'T' just a nit-pick. Asuna and Kirito's voices are annoying :p Anyway, I'm gonna force my brother to watch it since her made me watch School Days, It's troll time. I'll probably watch it to see if the dub gets any better. |

| I thought SAO was pretty decent, I'll make sure to catch a couple episodes on toonami if I can :) |

Have fun 'Merica! lol this would likely happen. Dumb move by them.. Anyway, as people keep saying it's not aimed at kids. Not in Japan and not here either. Still, if it wasn't for the incest, rape and tentacles it would have made for a fine kid's show. 7godeohs said: Deadman Wonderland is violent, shallow and angsty. It's perfect for a mainstream audience.Wha...? Toonami aired Deadman Wonderland? That's not one I would EVER have imagined them dubbing or airing. Not saying it was bad, just very much NOT the mainstream stuff Toonami usually shows. |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

MellowJello said: Hmm. A new generation of anime watchers that grow up to like this stuff. Cool. Well, it's better than no anime watchers. I prefer no anime watchers. |
Battlechili1 said: Tavor said: "Mom, why is that octopus holding Asuna in the air in and touching her in weird places?" Have fun 'Merica! It's going to be aimed at adults anyway, so I doubt this'll be a problem. Rather it'll be aimed at a time where adults and preteens could sneak up to watch the show if they wanted to. Even when Inuyasha was first on Adult Swim, that didn't stop kids in middle school from watching it. |
| It's gonna be interesting to see how more casual anime fans will react to SAO watching it for the first time on Toonami. Chances are the first arc will get them good ratings, and this target audience will probably be less critical about SAO's flaws. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| More popularity for the series. |
| toonami? well thats good. but with american dubs? man... anime american dubs ussualy bad. |

| I might watch it again in english dub, trailer looks good :p |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Watched a trailer for the SAO English dub a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if it was real, but if it was... it didn't sound too great :( Still looking forward to this though! |
 |
| Although I try to stick to subs, I'll pick it up and compare the 2. Should be an interesting rewatch. |
| Well, I watch the show (personally I thought it was "okay"). What I can say is that English dubs are gaining some nice artistry to add to their collection. It is very nostalgic, because a new generation will be introduced to anime the same way I was: Toonami! |
 |
| I'll watch it. It'll keep me from having to buy one of Aniplex's $100 dvds. |

| YES!! I'll gladly watch it again and again and again. |

Akito_Kinomoto said: I really don't understand what people are saying the big deal about its contents are. There was a single close-call tentacle rape scene later on in the series and a cousin/sister who liked her brother (but it wasn't even made that big a deal of). ...They can air stuff like Sword Art Online on Toonami now? If people can't handle that, especially on a time-block that airs much more sexually explicit shows aimed even more clearly at adults, then maybe people need to grow up. There's been much worse on television. DraconisMarch said: I was seriously waiting to see how long it would take for this circle-jerk to show up. I'm surprised it took a whole five pages.I'm glad they're bringing only QUALITY anime to the US. >.> |

If people can't handle that, especially on a time-block that airs much more sexually explicit shows aimed even more clearly at adults, then maybe people need to grow up. There's been much worse on television. I was asking if Toonami "leveled up" its age threshold. If there's still a difference between Toonami and [adult swim] (if that's even around anymore), well... "We" have no problem with a relatively tame show like this. But you put too much faith on people from the outside looking in. |
