Neane1993 said: The main problem for Toonami is the fact that the internet is soo good now. I mean, I thank Toonami for introducing anime to me, but if I had the choice to wait a week for an episode of a show that is years old and has commercials...I would rather download or buy it instead. They will never be able to be as powerful as they were when this ad came out. ^This. Also damn I forgot how good video was/is. |
Legendre said: I personally have no idea why they even bothered with Toonami if they're only going to run it every Saturday at such an absurd time. No one except anime fans are going to watch this shit, and even then only a couple of them. The great part about the original toonami that aired during the afternoon block was that it INTRODUCED people in the US to anime. This isn't going to introduce anyone to anything, because no one is going to be watching Eureka 7 at 2:30 AM EST on a Saturday night. Agreed |

Battlechili1 said: Bleach is on! And thus, one of the worst Toonami shows in my eyes is now airing! Omg I thought I was the only one that couldn't stand that show. I actually started watching and lasted for about the first seven episodes. After that, I missed a couple....A COUPLE...I start watching again and I don't know anything that's going on. I could never get tired of Cowboy Bebop. I love Samurai Champloo, but it wasn't better than Cowboy Bebop for me. It could be because it was the very first real anime that I watched. Therefore, it'll be my favorite 'til the end. Toonami still gets me excited but it isn't the same anymore. I just can't seem to get into it. |

Battlechili1 said: I find watching TV more fun than watching stuff online. I feel the same way. I have this thing where I feel like if I watch something online then I'm the only person watching it. If I watch it on TV, then the whole world could be watching. I'm a sharing kind of person. Knowing that someone else is enjoying the same thing as I am is a nice thought. |

Battlechili1 said: rederoin said: Its a channel aimed at casual fans, I doubt you would find a lot of them on an anime forum. Well, I'd consider myself a hardcore fan, but I suppose I see what you're getting at. I find watching TV more fun than watching stuff online, and the added "robot talking and reviewing games and stuff" thing seems pretty cool to me though. I don't know. The people currently working on Toonami make music remixes that have anime sound clips in them to make cool DJ Remix music. Altogether I think Toonami ends up being pretty awesome. I get a lot of people don't watch anime on tv though. I do think though that shows like Casshern Sins and Eureka Seven aren't really aimed at casual fans though. :/ If you dislike watching things online, you could always use torrents. But most non-casuels who watch a lot of anime(~1000+ episodes per year, the 'hardcore' fans), don't tend to have a need for toonami as it only airs the popular stuff. Thus why I said its more aimed at casual watchers, which in no way should be in a offence way incase anybody does. |

| Ignore the trolls OP, Toonami is great. It's a great gateway drug for those in the west, and it's the main reason why anime is as popular as it is nowadays (in the west), that alone demands respect. Nowadays it's just a shallow of it's former self, but I still enjoy the fact that it's back. |
The forums are dark, and full of ego. |
IntroverTurtle said: kickthebucket said: It's a tsunami of toons, they are common after an earthquake(I can't think of anything witty for earthquake).what's a Toonami? hahaha ok you win best answer ^^ and OT toonami "aires" (dunno if that's the right word) in America, Latin America, UK & Ireland, Asia and Australia... so 95% of europe doesn't even know about it's existance (hence my first question, wich you don't have to take serious btw) hell i only know of a few anime shows that ever aired in belgium (not the dutch shows that turned out to be actual anime) being rurouni kenshin (samurai X) gundam wing, death note and dragonball Z... |

Battlechili1 said: MaedhrostheTall said: Battlechili1 said: I actually think Sym Bionic Titan is the best american action toon out there, with the exception of maybe Legend of Korra. Sorry, but I still think Sym-Bionic Titan is best. :P But Batman: The Animated Series is an awesome series, and in its defense, I haven't seen a whole lot of it. Avatar: The Last Airbender >>>>>> The Legend of Korra. Seriously, it's not even close. Batman: TAS was revolutionary. I've never seen Sym Bionic Titan, so I can't argue which one is better. Although I did hear it was canceled and never finished. As for my favorite cartoon, I think I might go with Sonic: The Hedgehog. No, not the anime versions. This... Although, that one faces the same problem Sym Bionic Titan had. It had an open-ending because they planned to make another sequel and ABC stupidly canceled the show. |

| Toonami, leading to the creation of horribad english dubs since 1990. I still have nightmares from watching the Naruto Dub. |
| I don't really watch more T.V in general, I agree with Batman TAS, being the best western animation series, but Justice League and Young Justice come close though. I'd say Samurai Jack is a much better show than Symbionic Titan though. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| 1. What was wrong with Angel Beats's dub? I thought it was pretty good. 2. Toonami sucks NOW. Back when Steve Blum was doing it, and they always did cool game promotions and stuff It was really cool. It probably has a lot to do with the anime fad thats going on with high schoolers in America right now. |
| Toonami = Im a noot :--D |
| Samurai Jack was one of the best shows back in the day. But I don't really mind english dubs on anime. Like with Naruto, I liked the voice actors for the characters. I didn't mind them at all. I thought the voices matched the characters very well. |

Yeah people will like it more than cowboy belop. And redline needs to be on there. Yeah, I've grown tired of Bebop. I didn't care for it that much anyway. I've never heard of redline. Can you tell me a bit about it? Toonami is for younger viewers is it not? Thats why they can't get the adult themed anime titles onto it. |

Samurai Champloo actually use to air on Toonami if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe it aired on Adult Swim? Either way, if they wanted, they could put it on Toonami. |

Jellz said: Toucanbird said: Avatar: The Last Airbender >>>>>> The Legend of Korra. Seriously, it's not even close. Korra isn't finished and if the 2nd season is better than the first season then there is a chance it could be better than Last Air Bender. As it stands now its the best American cartoon to air since Last Air Bender. As for toonami, id love to see some of the ideas mentioned earlier put into effect but right now im still mostly satisfied with what they are doing. I still think Inuyasha needs to get the boot from the line up unless they are going to air final act. Even though Bebop is a really good series they need to get rid of it too, its way overstayed its welcome. I'll agree to you on that point. It IS the best American cartoon to come out SINCE Avatar: TLA. However, I really don't like the characters in Korra as much as the original Avatar. Even if we're talking about "halfway points", I still think Avatar is a lot better. Then again, I also found Korra's pacing to be really bizarre. It seems to do a whole lot of nothing for a while and then boom, throws you in the plot faster than a stealth bomber. Avatar, while yes, I know it was longer and had more to work with, had a much more fluid pace. I wouldn't go around saying Korra COULD be better than Avatar. I've seen enough shoulda, coulda, woulda series to know more times than not they leave you disappointed. I'd have to think Korra's 2nd season would have to be pretty damn epic to top Avatar at this point. |
GoldenBRS said: Ghostony said: Toonami's just a gateway for newbies This might be true though. I don't think there is anything wrong with that though either. A bulk of my introduction to anime was through Adult Swim/Toonami and is a big reason why I am a fan of anime nowadays. I don't watch Toonami anymore since most of the anime I watch now is subbed and currently airing, but I at least have to give it credit for being a good starting point into becoming an anime fan. |
| Yeah, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I wouldn't even know anime exists if it wasn't for Naruto on toonami lol.. back then I compared naruto with cartoons and viewed it as a god amongst its competition XD But nowadays I know a lot of better stuff than naruto lol.. but yeah.. |

| I love how the elitist snobs look down on people who watch [adult swim]/Toonami. Everyone had to start somewhere. If you really think it's so awful, how about you help them find some more obscure anime they might like? Do something positive with your supposedly grandiose knowledge of the medium, instead of being immature and negative. |
