The Toonami Thread

Might I ask where you got that definition from? XP

We already have Shippuden, though. Bleach is ending completely in October or November, it needs a replacement.

The announced Fall release window for Kai fits nicely with Bleach ending, so I'd be pretty surprised if they don't do that.

Edit: I'm not going to be in the IRC tonight. There was a really bad storm here yesterday and half the electronics in the house are dead now, including both desktop computers and the satellite receivers in both rooms.

Bleach is doing the DBZ thing again.

Ah, the typical high school caste system. Where you KNOW the higher it goes, the greater the asshattery.

The glee he must be feeling right now.

Are they going to dance or kick some ass?

EDIT: Where the hell was she hiding DAT ASS?!

LOOK THERE'S A GREMLIN ON THE WINDOW.

Fact: Brina Palencia, while not voicing anyone, translated the lyrics and directed the singing performances of these songs!

Ugh, clay is so fattening.

A 'nightless island' seen in the distance seems so beautiful. But it's probably be creepy as heck to have perpetual daylight.

How does it always stay sunny?? How does the show explain that?

Before we delve into that, FUCK YEAH SEAKING SOGEKING SNIPER KING.

Of course, Luffy and Chopper are the only ones who can't recognize him.

Is that....

....... yeah no doubt about it. It's Cherami Leigh!

It feels like a pretty humanizing moment for Satan there, being curious about the world and all.

The concept of Satan and demons in general having the capability to feel and understand love sure does sound like a filler arc. ...but the new writers do a GREAT job telling an origin story!

I honestly do love the concept of a Demon finding good in humanity, so I'm actually pretty OK with the backstory in and of itself.

Now, in relation to the show as a whole, that's a different story.

Unless Satan was just saying that to get into Yuri's pants. He is the Prince of Lies after all.

It's a shame that Black Lagoon, my favorite show on the block, got pushed back for Beware The Batman, which in all honesty, is a pretty bad show. Not Tim & Eric bad, mind you, but pretty lame (at least in my opinion, YMMV on this of course).

Now, I don't have a problem with Western Animation on Toonami, I just want there to be good Western Animation. So far the only show I've seen that fits the bill would be Samurai Jack. To me, Thundercats was bad, Beware the Batman was bad, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars is just plain awful. Haven't seen Symbionic Titan, so I cannot comment on that. Again, this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt.

I just hope that Toonami can get some better western cartoons to compliment their rather exquisite anime lineup. Or at least have waited to push Batman up when Black Lagoon finishes its run, it's only got four episodes left at this point. I understand most Western Animation is either comedy or kids' stuff, but they can find some good action shows, I'm sure. They already have Samurai Jack.

Do yourself a favor and SEE SBT.

I'll check it out when I can

I just realized they swapped out S. Titan for Cowboy Bebop.

Oh my god this episode was adorable aside from the explosion.

The problem is that for Western Animation in general, things have been in decline for a very long time, action shows are a rarity and that's a bad thing, what's left is whatever is cheap for Toonami to grab up, and the results are... subpar, to say the least. I agree with all of your sentiment though.

I really like Beware the Batman. Didn't care for it at first but it's really grown on me.
