History WMG / Toonami

FUNimation just released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u46TCtwhYE8 teaser trailer]] for their limited theatrical release of ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F'', which will last from August 4th to August 12th. August 8th is the one Saturday between those two dates, and Toonami airing ''Battle of Gods'' on that date would be a good method of advertising for the ''Resurrection F'' theatrical release.

[[WMG:Toonami will air ''[[Creator/ThisIsIt Don't Hug Me I'm Scared]]'' as a music video]]

This might just be wishful thinking and hoping but with the shows they have gotten as of late such as Naruto and One Piece brought back and SwordArtOnline airing in August they are making plans to air on weekdays since they got so many and won't have the time to air them, possibly a two hour run like they did before from 5-7 PM or 10-Midnight.

… they will air the 1996 Ocean dub (i.e. the English dub that was unsuccessfully syndicated for a while before becoming a hit on Toonami, not unlike ''Anime/SailorMoon'') instead of the uncut Creator/FUNimation dub, for two reasons…
#People only want to see ''Dragon Ball Z'' air on the new Toonami for [[NostalgiaFilter nothing more than nostalgia value]] (let's face it, you're lying to yourself if you say you want it airing for any other reason). When the show started airing on the old Toonami back when Moltar was still the host, it was the Ocean dub that was aired first, which in essence paved the way for the Creator/FUNimation dub, as well as the popularity the show has now. Not to make a bizarre analogy, but it'd be the equivalent of putting Bad Box Art Mega Man in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' (in other words, you can't get anymore "classic" and "old school" than that).
#At 291 episodes long and airing one episode a week, the [=FUNimation=] dub of ''Dragon Ball Z'' is way too long to air (yes, ''Bleach'' is longer at 366 episodes, but it was already well into its run when Toonami came back. I'm also aware that the ''Dragon Ball Z Kai'' recut is shorter, at 98 episodes, but people have been clear that they want the original, not ''Kai''). The Ocean dub only lasts 53 episodes, which is a much more manageable length, even if it sacrifices a very large portion of the original show.

Just did the Math and it appears that there are less than 30 Innuyasha's left to air. It fits the timeline right, and if they put it up early it would be replacing Soul Eater (As oppose to Fairy Tail as I hoped). Funimation will have its additional headliner program with Space Dandy, so they shouldn't object that much, though that would lead to an hour of space to fill up, though the Ocean Dub of DBZ is probably unlikely considering how its Sponge Property at the moment]]

On the uncut DVD and Blu-Ray releases, the line is faithfully translated as "over 8000". However, when the show was broadcast on Creator/NickToons (edited for violence and language, of course), the line was changed to "over 9000" as a [[AscendedMeme reference]] to the infamous Ocean dub created by Creator/FUNimation and Creator/SabanEntertainment for the original ''Dragon Ball Z''. The Toonami broadcast version including the line as well (despite being completely uncut) would probably be even more appropriate than with Nicktoons, as back in its days on Cartoon Network, Toonami aired the Ocean dub of the original ''Dragon Ball Z'' before [=FUNimation=] decided to dub the rest of the show in-house.

* Anime/MobileSuitGundam00: Highly reviewed. Already has an edit from SciFiChannel, who no longer seem to want it. Chance of success: moderate.

[[WMG: Toonami aired {{Korgoth of Barbaria}} and King Star King during Fall Daylight Savings Time as a response to the {{Hypocritical Hatedom}}.]]

So that no longer will Creator/FourKidsEntertainmentbe held in eternal derision for ruining it.

** No, the reason that Toonami was canceled was that those Naruto fillers were the only new episodes of any series being aired at the time. FourKidsEntertainment had managed to get OnePiece canceled, and everything else was reruns. To use a baseball analogy, Toonami was expecting their ace pitcher to pitch a shutout and hit a home run every game because nobody else on the team could throw, bat or field.

Because let's face it, when two things ''that'' bad happen at the same time, [[ThereAreNoCoincidences they've gotta be connected]]. The most likely theory right now is that [[ExecutiveMeddling Stuart Snyder]] is acting as one of ThoseTwoBadGuys (the other being [[Creator/{{Activision}} Bobby]] [[FourKidsEntertainment Kotick]]) for an AncientConspiracy, and killed off Toonami in order to try to eliminate the last strand of hope. Why? To get [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama a politician running on hope and change]] a certain victory in his campaign for President of the United States, all so said President could push an agenda of increased weakness and moral degeneracy and hasten the coming destruction of the United States of America.

* [[FourKidsEntertainment It could be worse]].

So that no longer will FourKidsEntertainment be held in eternal derision for ruining it.

It'll be kinda like [[TeenNick The 90s are All-That]]; Toonami will start airing on Boomerang, complete with a new, cooler model for TOM, the possible return of the ship and SARA, and show almost all of it's old programming. It'll also oust that useless "[=BoomerAction=]" block.

* 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, Manga/RurouniKenshin, Bleach, DeadmanWonderland, Naruto, Anime/CowboyBebop, and other series. Even adding obscure characters like Anime/RoninWarriors

** Well, they had almost certainly had ''Anime/CasshernSins'' and ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' ready to air on [as], replacing the shows that have [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist already]] [[{{Kekkaishi}} finished]] [[{{LightNovel/Durarara}} airing.]] But they may have found that people much preferred the Toonami-based bumpers to the weird crap they had on there before, so they set some up and called it Toonami.

* ''{{Needless}}''

* ''[[SakuraWars Sakura Wars TV]]''

While both shows are victims of getting ScrewedByTheNetwork and desperately in need of second seasons, Toonami can't exactly air ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' and SymBionicTitan reruns forever. Sooner or later, they'll have to acquire a new show to replace them. Some likely choices (a few of which are also victims of getting ScrewedByTheNetwork) are...

Think about it. Toonami has a dearth of Western Animation action shows since WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011 and SymBionicTitan (taking a hiatus) are leaving the block at the end of July. Black Dynamite, as hilarious as it is, is pretty action packed so why not air it on Toonami? It's already on Creator/AdultSwim and it would prevent the block from being all anime.

Like with WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011 and SymBionicTitan, Toonami is getting flak from anime fans for putting another western cartoon, specifically Star Wars: The Clone Wars, on the lineup. I believe it's getting to the point where TOM might make a speech about giving things a chance, as well as why Toonami isn't just about anime.

[[WMG: The placement of SymBionicTitan on the block is to test the waters]]

** I think Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is too hot for Creator/CartoonNetwork, even on the AdultSwim block.

I've heard rumors that Toonami and Sentai Filmworks have some bad blood between each other, stemming back from when Toonami and ADVFilms had problems with Giant Robot Week that resulted in a tarnished relationship between the two. [[WordOfGod Jason DeMarco]] [[http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-reddit-ama-for-august-17th/#more-1831 has said otherwise]] and that there's nothing wrong, but probably the best way to dispel those rumors would be for Toonami to pick up a Sentai Filmworks-owned show when they're able to, with the following being possible choices...

* And it will air the debut shows on the block, such as SpaceGhost, TheRealAdventuresOfJohnnyQuest, and EagleRider.

* Confirmed? They announced that Anime/DragonBallZKai is coming to Toonami, but I'll let you decide if it will cause "rejoicement, surprise and at times depression".

[[WMG: DragonBallZKai will start with the Buu saga.]]

[[WMG: SwordArtOnline will switch places with SoulEater if it does well enough]]
