The Toonami Thread

I saw symbionic titan and tcats last saturday. I didnt even flinch,they fit the block pretty well.

And casshern officialy has me confused as shit. How many episodes left?

It's got 24 episodes, DW had 12, and they started at the same time.

So... I guess it has 12 minus however many episodes of the Sevens we've had.

I believe we're close to the end of Casshern at this point.

We're at episode 21. Three more episodes!

The next episode is 22, so three more.

Ninjaed Samuraied.

So... about 3 more weeks before a new show? Yayyy.

How we doing on ratings, if anyone knows.

When it comes to Casshern Wack'd; I'm not anything to you.

I am the Patron Saint of Hating Casshern Sins.

You do realize that is not a good thing.

Yes, it's not a good thing and it just makes it seem like a Single-Issue Wonk.

Do I really never talk about anything else here? I mean, I have more measured opinions of the other shows (besides Bleach, which even then is more endearingly goofy than completely awful), which I've expressed. I only bring up my feelings on Sins when other people discuss their feelings on Sins, and moreover—this is the important bit—I never insult people for enjoying the show or react with anger when someone dislikes a show I like. I feel I'm entitled to my opinion.

Lighthearted fun-poking at me for it is one thing. But I don't think the accusation that I take my dislike for the show too far is fair.

When nearly everything you say about is completely negative, yeah, It's not really unfair to say it tends to be taken too fair, and you don't even consider any possibilities our opinions have their own points to them.

Yes I do! I agree with people who say the underlying ideas about life and death and immortality are interesting. I agree that Ringo is cute. I love the hell out of the art style and the character designs are good and that the post-apocalyptic landscape is suitably eery.

But that's not enough to hold the show together for me, and I don't have a lot to say about those aspects. I'm reasonably sure I've brought them up once or twice. So yeah, my negative opinions overtake them.

But honestly, I don't think I bring them up at inappropriate times, or all that often in general (After all, there are always 5-8 other shows to talk about.) So what you're saying is, basically, that there's a limit on how many times I can criticize things. Which is weird because sometimes episodes piss me off in different ways. If I've already criticized the characterization, does that mean that two weeks ago I was out of line for discussing why I didn't like the dream episode when everyone else was discussing the dream episode?

Please—no, really, please—point out an occasion when my criticism has been taken too far. I really wanna know what the issue is here.

Any predictions on what cassherns replacement will be?

Have to agree with Wack'd on this one too, based on what I've seen thus far. In that nothing has seen unreasonable or oddly placed, least from what I've seen. Or obsessed over either.

Though I'm willing to debate that I may hate Casshern more than you.

Something not pretentious? Really need to take a look at stuff could potentially pick up from Funimation. Part of me thinks Eureka 7 is going to be moved into that time slot and older show like Samurai Champloo added back to the run, but eh, who knows? I do hope for a new anime to Toonami.

This isn't the first time I've seen someone say something like this but I don't get where that attitude that he's somehow disparaging other people's opinions is coming from. He personally doesn't like the show. He personally doesn't agree with most other people's opinions about the show. I've never, ever seen him say anything that suggests that those opinions are in any way invalid or lesser than his, he just doesn't share them.

So yeah. Shows replacing Casshern. Its hard to say what that could be. I doubt Code Geass is in the cards. Gundam is likely out of their price range. I can't see them playing Soul Eater, really. D.Gray-Man is likely affordable. Madoka Magicka is likely way out of their price range. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is a possibility. Neon Genesis Evangelion could happen if they want to keep the melancholy. Samurai Champloo seems reasonable. I don't know. There's many, many options.

I'm sort of hoping they're secretly planning to air Gurren Lagann. I don't know how likely it is, but considering how well Samurai 7 is doing after having aired previously on the same channel as GL and being available on Netflix to this day, I could see a show with GL's popularity doing really well.

(Okay, I'm also hoping they'll do a music video incorporating clips from the show's many Hot-Blooded speeches. )

Well I don't know about Demon, but I am just making fun of you Wack'd.

TTGL would be an excellent choice! Long enough to stay on the air for a while, entertaining enough to keep people in the story, and has an ending to it.

If they can nab Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, then I suspect they may very well have a new leader for ratings. That show is just about legendary and its propensity for picking up momentum in fan circles is a remarkable phenomenon.

I think it would be a good move on their part if they can afford it.

It's a show with everything save for common sense and Minovsky Physics!

In other words, it does the impossible and kicks reason to the curb?

The energy produces expands outward at an exponential rate in a helical pattern. Almost like a ... drill or a... spiral.
