I like "Black Sun" by Death Cab for Cutie, but it's probably too serious and solemn for the kinds of music they usually have.

Do not obey in advance.

So since Toonami's entire block is shifting an entire half-hour earlier, I may start staying up for the entirety of it now.

Soooo... did anyone see the IBO promo on Toonami last night? I ask because I feel this is all too suspicious for me, the trailer came from FACEBOOK, and Toonami has a Tumblr not a facebook. And the Tumblr and Anime News Network havent said a thing about Toonami starting earlier. I know IBO is a sure thing on Toonami but I dont know about the whole starting earlier thing.

Its not official.Its run by fans. De Marco has clarified this many times. I dont know how they got the trailer before anyone else though.

They've had an official facebook page for months now. Its where they ask fans the "question of the week" for Toonami pre-flight.

You're just in time. Bayble Cuber's going to watch an inkle dribble adventure from days of old on my holo-pyramid viewer.

So what's the schedule change exactly?

11:30pm - 3:00am.

Also, assuming there's another marathon on July 2nd, Samurai Champloo will be ending the middle of August, so that is when we'll, presumably, get the next new anime premier.

On every Pre-Flight, one of the sections they talk about in fan feedback is the "Facebook Answers".

If only they could just put Toonami back in its 7:00 timeslot. Then the ratings would actually improve, as more people would be able to actually watch it.

I follow the official Toonami Facebook page.

Also, I really hope they show all of IBO's opening, you just don't cut Raise Your Flag and get away with it.

[up]It's Adult Swim's property now and they're treating it much better than its irregular block did during its last few years. Plus they can show stuff that would've probably been censored otherwise.

I bet they'd never cut Cowboy Bebop's opening. Although I think that one is shorter.

Listening to the 200th ep of the Toonami Faithful Podcast! :D

My one worry is of course that ratings for GUNDAM: IBO don't rise high enough for Toonami to air the rest of the show! That's discerning, since this revived Toonami rarely if EVER aired a show incomplete!

Cuber Since: Jan, 2016
#30096: May 31st 2016 at 5:40:08 PM

[up][up]They cut Bebop's opening the last time they ran it. Which seems reasonable since the network has shown that opening hundreds of times at this point.

[up]I'd be really surprised if Toonami didn't air the second season. Unless Sunrise decides not to dub it for some reason.

They're not going to pay out the ass for the best Gundam in a decade and not air the entire thing. Its only 25 episodes (until season 2, anyways).

I'm not even sure Toonami even cares about ratings.

Toonami's been back for what, 4 years now? Barring some executive bullshit or a colossal fuckup, I don't think we have anything to worry about.

I doubt the ratings would be much higher Murphy, Toonami is fine where it is, it actually scored 2 million once.
