judojon said: Battlechili1 said: So, anyone looking forward to Soul Eater tomorrow? Yes, although I already watched the show once before. Well, Toonami has a special place in my heart because it was what introduced me to anime, and I'm sure that is true for a lot of anime fans in the U.S. The thing I remember the most is their 'Month of Miyazaki' which aired Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. I do watch the new Toonami now, mostly because it makes me nostalgic, even if I'm watching a show for the first time; such was the case for Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins, and Samurai 7. I'm happy it is back, it is nice to watch anime on a TV once in a while, rather than on a computer screen all the time. However, I'm disappointed that it airs so late at night because it limits the ability to attract new fans, which would be the main benefit of airing anime on TV, seeing as anime is so accessible to fans on the internet. Same here for me. And I remember that "Month of Miyazaki" too! Those movies were awesome. Princess Mononoke was the best though. |

| I loved toonami but I remember watching it when it had the villain from space ghost "hosting" it. Makes me remember about all those old program blocks I use to watch like USA's anime block on the weekend, scifi's block and showtimes anime blocks, anime unleashed on tech tv and of course the beginning of adult swim.. man, I feel old, haha |

I was too young to appreciate most of the time Toonami was around. It's pretty cool that you remember all that. I wish I could see all the old anime on tv. I missed out on some good ones, like Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, G Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, ect. And I didn't even know about those other anime blocks until later. Sure wish I watched that back then. GoldenBRS said: dead leaves needs to be on there jist because I would love to watch that on tv. I like Gainax shows. Does Dead Leaves have a dub? Yea, I remember the other shows on there too, like reboot and thundercats. I'm pretty sure superfriends was either on there too or it was the show before toonami came on.. Good times, good times With that said, I've never lived in an area that could get the anime network until I got rid of television.. ooh the irony |

| Anyone else think the dub for Soul Eater that the chose sucks ass? I remember that when I originally watched it on Netflix the dub was actually pretty good compared to most, and I loved the cast. This one on Toonami is just terrible, and it's petty hard to watch because of it. That is a lot coming from me too because most bad dubs are OK with me. I especially can't stand Black Star, the fuck, I know the VA is a woman but damn it's bad... |

He's super annoying, and I don't like his voice. Black Star was always annoying. |

| Honestly I wish Toonami hadn't come back, they actually had good anime on it back in the day like Sailor Moon, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, Outlaw Star, and the original Tenchi. I don't know what the current lineup is, but I was pretty disappointed when it first came back I think the lineup was Deadman Wonderland, and Casshern Sins which were terrible and Cowboy Bebop, FMA, and Ghost in the Shell which are all great, but Adult Swim had already been running them over and over for years. |
| the problem about toonami is that cartoon network doesnt even want it to be on their channel they did it because of the amount of people who wanted it back after a april fools joke that they did where they brought toonami back for one night. if you ask me they are just looking for an excuse to cancel toonami which is a real shame because the more anime that is aired on tv the more popular it will get in the west which will have a huge impact on the industry especially since anime companies dont make that much money outside of japan because of a very high piracy rate and lack of interest. |

Battlechili1 said: Well again most of those have either already been on Adult Swim (Eureka Seven and Inuyasha) or aren't very good (Bleach, Naruto, Thundercats, Sym-Bionic Titan, One Piece). Soul Eater is pretty good, but it's also something I've already seen, I haven't seen Tenchi Muyo GXP, but I'm generally not a fan of reboots. It's not that I have a problem with it being back, but I wish they would actually give me a reason to be excited about it, I mean why the hell should I watch Toonami when I have the FUNimation channel?deadjames said: Honestly I wish Toonami hadn't come back, they actually had good anime on it back in the day like Sailor Moon, DBZ, Gundam Wing, Rurouni Kenshin, Outlaw Star, and the original Tenchi.

Coming back doesn't really hurt anything. It can only get better. Toonami's gotten a lot more money now though. They air, in order, Bleach, Naruto, Soul Eater, Thundercats (2011), Sym-Bionic Titan, Eureka Seven, Tenchi Muyo GXP, FMA:B, FMA:B, Cowboy Bebop, Cowboy Bebop, and Inuyasha, Inuyasha. Or something like that. Also one of the two Cowboy Bebops should be getting replaced by IGPX soon, an old Toonami show. Also, I think they'd like to air Gundam, but they can't since Bandai's sort of out of business in America. However, I get the feeling that Gurren Lagann will be airing on there soon since Aniplex has gotten a hold of it. Finally, One Piece will soon start airing on Toonami as well. In other news, the current TOM, TOM 3.5, will soon upgrade to a new TOM 5.0 soon. Toonami has a lot more money now and its improving too. |
| I'm not really interested in anything that's airing on Toonami right now. I prefer to watch my Anime online. |
. |
| Toonami is a great "door way" for people to get into anime, period. |
 |
| It's dumb that they are pulling back The Big 3 to Toonami when in reality those are what killed Toonami in the first place. |
 |
| free online streaming killed toonami... |
|
| sub>dub my opinion is objectively superior. trololo also inuyasha is a loser anime |
| Toonami is nice in it's own way. People who complain about dubs can go simply not watch it. It's a nice treat to watch sometimes considering most the shows on TV now are kinda trash. Subs>dubs for sure but I mean it's still very nice to watch it once a week. |
 |
| Soul Eater.. that's a pretty good choice. And I hope toonami isn't going to use 4kids version of one piece.. |

Ghostony said: No they can't, he said they are starting on episode 207. 4kids only got to 150 IIRC before getting cancelled.Soul Eater.. that's a pretty good choice. And I hope toonami isn't going to use 4kids version of one piece.. Battlechili1 said: And that is very stupid, Funimation only has up to around 360 episodes out.One Piece's official date for airing on Toonami has been announced. May 18 One Piece will begin airing. It will begin airing from episode 207, and the time it will air will be at 1:00 AM, with Soul Eater being moved to 1:30 AM. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Meh. I would have watched One Piece if they were starting from the beginning. |
| They should have started from the beginning, airing 2 eps a week. As much as I love Cowboy Bebop, we don't need 2 eps every week for a series that has been replayed hundreds of times over the years. Same goes for Inuyasha's 2 eps, although I really don't like that series anyway. |

Toonami is aired by Adult Swim though. They have an official Tumblr specifically for Toonami, and it seems that the people working on Toonami are doing it for free. Adult Swim already aired anime at night. They just were WAY more sluggish about airing new anime. They also rarely advertised the anime and didn't really have any cool special style like Toonami had. The guys working on Toonami seem passionate about it and didn't seem to honestly think people really cared all that much about Toonami before the April Fools joke last year. The joke showed them how important and how much it really meant to them. Adult Swim does seem to really care too. Ratings for their anime after Toonami's return seem to have improved. no i wasnt talking about the people working in toonami and adult swim i was talking about the people on top the guys. anime is not that big of a money maker anymore since the internet took away 90% of tvs business so the companies as a whole can make more money and have more views with some other shows. |
