History WMG / Toonami

Specifically a series featuring Peter Cullen, They'll get him to announce the show.

To serve as a thank you for all of TOM's work behind the scenes of Creator/CartoonNetwork. After Toonami was cancelled, the head of CN promoted TOM to oversee development of new original CN television (NOT live-action of course). He spent the last four years traveling through distant places, eyeing for fresh blood to help out the (at the time) struggling network [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime with]] [[RegularShow some]] [[GeneratorRex success]]. As thanks for all of his hard work finding quality programming (and having a re-engergized feel from scouring new cartoons while in retirement), the head honcho, for Toonami's and TOM's 15th birthday, offered [[Creator/AdultSwim [as]'s]] AprilFoolsDay slot to air, which he happily accepted. When the prank found success from the audience, the head of CN and TOM worked out a new schedule, and the rest is history.

* Correct me if I'm wrong, but Pokemon (all of the seasons, including Best Wishes, are considered to be part of the same show) is currently airing on Cartoon Network's regular schedule, which means they can't air it during [adult swim] hours due to the risk of young kids being exposed to age-inappropriate content (they're having a similar problem with SamuraiJack, which currently airs on Boomerang). Also, even if they did air Pokemon, they wouldn't use it as an excuse to review Pokemon X and Y since they don't need an excuse.

[[WMG: Toonami will license and air both ''SamuraiChamploo'' and ''Anime/MichikoToHatchin''...]]

* At the end of one of his Video Game reviews Tom remarked it would be cool if someone made a Toonami Video Game. It's true they are working on one and that was a tease. The game will include characters from past and present series like DragonBall, Anime/SailorMoon, Anime/OutlawStar, YuYuHakusho, RurouniKenshin, Bleach, DeadmanWonderland, Naruto, Anime/CowboyBebop, and other series. Even adding obscure characters like Anime/RoninWarriors

[[WMG: RurouniKenshin will return to Toonami.]]

[[WMG: Toonami will pick up a show from SentaiFilmworks]]

* As mentioned on previous guesses: ''Anime/{{Free}}'' (as oddball as it sounds), ''Anime/CodeGeass'', ''Manga/BlackButler''' the ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion movies]]'', and the list of anime from the SentaiFilmworks guess above

* Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn: Needs to finish, but so far is getting good reviews. Planned to be only seven episodes long, so can be used as filler. Chance of success: unknown. The Chances of Success are actually quite high, it's incredibly well animated, has a superb dub from Funimation (Who seem to also have the License for it.) All it needs is to be edited to around 22 minute episodes and you have yourself a show that could last awhile.
** CORRECTION: Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn isn't licensed or dubbed by Creator/FUNimation, who so far has not licensed a single Gundam series. It was licensed by Bandai Entertainment like the rest of the Gundam shows here (I'm assuming that Creator/TheOceanGroup handled the actual dub itself. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). After Bandai halted production, the distribution of Gundam Unicorn was passed over to NozomiEntertainment. And also, they wouldn't have to edit the episodes down to 22 minutes. They could just dedicate an entire hour to airing an episode without ''any'' editing whatsoever.

* Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin: A remake of First Gundam with modern animation. Might save the series, but so far hasn't aired yet. Chance of success: unknown.
* Anime/GundamBuildFighters / Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry: Has received generally favorable reviews thus far. LighterAndSofter than other entries on the list, but its humor and vivid characters could appeal to the ''Gundam'' fanbase as well as those who favor more comedic anime. Not licensed as of yet but is already receiving official subs in the US and Canada. Chance of success: high.

** Bandai Entertainment ceased production in the US in January 2012, which further complicates this, as well as knocking Anime/TurnAGundam completely off the possible list.

Regardless of whether or not you think Naruto killed Toonami, there's no denying that Naruto being in its filler arc at the time of Toonami's death did not help. Once the show reaches the filler arc, Toonami will replace Naruto with either A] Anime/NarutoShippuden, assuming the rights for that are available by that point or B] a different show altogether.

* Confirmed! TOM will, on July 6th, conduct an interview with Creator/GuillermoDelToro, promptly promoting PacificRim for its release the next Friday.

[[WMG: One day, Toonami will pick up original shows for the first time since ''{{Anime/IGPX}}'']]

* Especially if they both get the rights too and get too {{Naruto Shippuden}}

* Manga/Naruto SHIPPUDEN, because rights can be taken away, ala WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011.

* ''[[ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman]]''

[[WMG: Toonami will license and air both ''SamuraiChamploo'' and ''MichikoToHatchin''...]]

[[WMG: Toonami will air ''[[Anime/ZankyouNoTerror Terror in Resonance]]'']]

* ''[[{{Golgo13}} Golgo 13]]''

[[WMG: Toonami will air Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion as a filler anime]]

[[WMG: Sword Art Online II will get the same simulcast deal as SpaceDandy.]]

* Seems possible, though considering that AO is a ContestedSequel and 3:00 AM is not an adequate timeslot for premieres (unless they decide to move IGPX down to 3:00 AM and premiere AO at 2:30 AM, but even that's pushing it), it's not exactly likely.

That will be based on the Fusionfall MMO, but DarkerAndEdgier with all sorts of drama that they couldn't get away with on daytime TV. After all, how many old CN cartoons are on? They could even add IGPX references slash appearances.

Will feature a return of something from Toonami's past, be it a Clyde, Tom 4, Flash and D, or perhaps Toonami is previewing a Toonami original series like IGPX

Both of these shows come out (at the time of this edit) in a couple of days. ''Anime/TheBigO'' ends its run in October (specifically on the 26th). Assuming that they don't keep ''The Big O'' on for a second run, ''{{IGPX}}'' will be moved to 3:30 AM so that either ''Manga/FutureDiary'' or ''Anime/MichikoToHatchin'' can premiere at 2:30 AM (or 2:00 AM, if they decide to move ''SwordArtOnline'' as well). This guess is for two reasons...

They did it for IGPX why not Samurai Jack?

* It did, but with Attack replacing IGPX and taking Space Dandy's 11:30 spot
