The Toonami Thread

Maybe it'd be replaced with like Toriko, it's dub cast just got announced by funimation.

Are you kidding? Toriko is way too big right now. Its one of the big three in Japan. There's no way Toonami will be able to afford it.

Not now, of course. But a lot can happen in two years.

How popular is toriko in america though? Only another longrunner could replace bleach.

And have the big 3 changed already? About time.

If Hunter X Hunter gets licensed by Funimation, it'd be a good replacement once Bleach ends. Same deal with the Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure anime.

Toriko is relatively unknown in America, but that doesn't matter since the anime industry is based entirely on Japanese figures. Kinda like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is little known, but getting Phantom Blood over here (on Toonami) would likely be far too costly an affair.

If they could afford it, though, JJBA would be a great investment. Its going to be a long runner if they stick with adapting all seven completed parts. Its also variable enough between parts that I can see it avoiding accusations of getting stale. Of course, this is all speculation. Two episodes of a brand new anime is little to go on afterall.

-pukes rainbow- hunterxhunter do want!!! jjba is the shit too.

Itd be awesome if blue exorcist got on. Or even better if blue exorcist got the FMA treatment and was redone.

"Redone"? Don't you think its a little early to mention that to people new to the dub?

Toriko: How long has it been around?

Not sure. At least a year now.

The anime I believe came out during started in winter of 2010.

IE: Nowhere near long enough. Its not very old and its just now getting dubbed.

Again—we have two years to worry about this.

Two years.

There are so many variables and so many new shows that could arrive and so many things that could happen with Toonami's scheduling and budget that guessing about what will take Bleach's place is like speculating on who'll win the 2014 Coney Island Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

OK, I'm just saying that as things are right now, its not in the cards.

I'm thinking either Tiger And Bunny, some edited version of Panty and Stocking (which would help promote the Blu Ray release), or some classic like Champloo or Neon Genesis Evangelion (Though I think that might be in distributor limbo).

All four of those could work. I'm vouching for the first two the most, though.

I still think Toonami should pull a Panty and Stocking night one time only, and make it an event.

Why? Just one the whole series, it's just an episode longer than DMW.

It's 13 episodes. This would mean Toonami would either need to

• A: Take over an extra half-hour to completely air it.
• B: Take one episode out.
• C: Edit the adult stuff out randomly and widdle it down so that they DO lose the total minutes equaling one episode.

While it is nice too think about what is going to replace Bleach. We should be thinking about what is going to replace Casshern and are they going to repeat Full Metal for the early episodes.

...Any specific reason the show needs to air for an even number of weeks?

None. But he's referring to a Panty and Stocking all night marathon.

I think since PSG is a comedy it can get away with about as much as Black Dynamite , which got away with a lot so I think other than bleeps there'd only need to be a few nips and tucks. What episode would need to be dropped anyways? You can't air 6 and a half hours of PSG, and there's no reason why it can't be 13 episodes long.

Tiger and Bunny would be amazing.

I'll need to think about that. Possibly the ghost sperm and the high school streaking night party.

YES.
