[up]I'm thinking either that or One Punch Man. I think the new Lupin will be what eventually replaces Samurai Champloo.

One Punch Man has a dub?

As long as it isn't a long runner I'll be happy.

No dub has been officially announced. I'm just going on the basis of maybe the dub will premere on the block like Hunter x Hunter's.

Save for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I don't think there is anymore notable Long Runners to take a slot. I mean, there's Fairy Tail but given how long Toonami has been back now I figure if there were interested in that show, they would've picked it up by now.

Y'know what would be amazing to see on Toonami?

Afro Samurai.

I won't hold out hope for Fairy Tail. We already have 4 long-runners so adding more would be a little crazy. Also Fairy Tail's admitably mediocre so they should focus more on adding higher quality shows.

[up] That would be fucking awesome & absolutely perfect for this channel. smile

Oh yeah, I'm pretty bleh on Fairy Tail. Like I still read the manga, but it's the bottom of the barrel with Shonen Series.

[up] Yeah it be a bad mesh, especially if it comes after Hunter x Hunter.

Though that's kinda funny when you think about it. A very by the book, average shonen that has mediocre/normal animation coming after one of the most acclaimed & subversive shonen with movie level animation in recent memory would be just be a gut punch for the show. tongue

Having just started Fairy Tail, I have to say it's leagues better than Naruto.

*Remembers Naruto calling Obito the coolest*

I highly doubt that, but I'll keep the warning in mind.

Fairy Tail never gets as bad as Naruto did, but it never gets as good as Naruto was either.

Like I said its pretty average. Like absolute middle of the barrel, right between the gems & the shits.

[up][up]That's my thing though, Naruto was at least good up until around the end of the Pain Arc. I give my nod to a series that was atleast good for 2/3rd of its run instead of a consistently mediocre series.

So the dub for Hunterx Hunter...actually isn't bad. I normally find most dubs to be too stilted and awkward to enjoy, but this isn't bad. Most of the characters sound like I would expect them to and the dialogue doesn't feel that unnatural. It's not the greatest dub I've ever heard of anything but it's ok in my book.

Not entirely sold on Vee's Killua (the one I'd be most concerned about since he's my favorite character), but it's entirely possible that she'll grow into the role as the show goes on.

You know, Naruto calling Obito, "the coolest," makes a lot more sense if you just assume he was trolling Kaguya.

As for the replacement for Dimension W, maybe Durararara!!x2?

[up]I've suggested it before, but apparently the first series got crap ratings. tongue

Hmm, it's from one of the timelines I never followed. I hardly remember anything outside the early Universal Century.

Still, it's been ages since there's been a Gundam anything on TV, this is great.

Oh really when?

This should please Toonami fans who remember the GUNDAM series that aired.

Which timeline does this show take place in? Do you need to know the other shows to enjoy this?
