So, announced to replace One-Punch Man (at least until the season 2 rumors are confirmed or denied, at least), is the uncensored, unedited (save for the opening after the first episode) broadcast dub
of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Hell. Yes.
Also, Toonami's back at midnight due to Cartoon Network slashing Adult Swim's programming block hours.
Well, it was fun while it lasted, and at least my DVR took notice of the time change before anything got too screwed up.
Just to make sure, they're starting with the 2012 anime right?
Yep, starting with Phantom Blood.
Despite rumors that it would be redubbed, the cast for the show looks to be kept with JYB clearly heard as Jonathan in the trailer. And for the most part we're all the better for it — hammy dub for a show that runs on overacting as much as possible.
Also, ace decision to have Roundabout as the trailer music.

I'm so glad that they're keeping Roundabout, Godspeed, Toonami!
Also, who's ready for frenetic fighting, hammy dialogue and majestic poses in the next 2 weeks?
My reaction to both JoJo's and One-Punch Man S2?
(Oh, Joseph. So much of a horndog, he ends up perving on his mum.)
By the way, digging that Hsien-Ko chibi from Street Fighter x All Capcom, Beary.
(I'd comment on your Pikachu wearing a Charizard suit, Hikari, but that would be extremely Slowpoke of me.)
Also, a reminder—for those who didn't read the last several posts—that Toonami will be pushed back to its original midnight timeslot. In other words, DBZ Kai won't be on for another 20-something minutes. Also also, to finish up the current run of Parasyte, the last three episodes will be aired back-to-back-to-back tonight.

X2X, reporting in! o7
@ Hikari: Ridiculously adorable.
Present and accounted for!
Looking forward to tonight. Goku vs. Cell, the next-to-last One Punch Man, and the beginning of the next arc of Hunter X Hunter. Good stuff.
I'd like to be the first man on the moon.I'm here, I'm here!
X 2 X: Thanks! I realized I could use a horror-themed avatar for October (now watch me keep this for two years out of laziness
).
I didn't even know what Street Fighter X All Capcom was until I looked it up. Why is it a No Export for You?

Do not obey in advance.@ Beary: I should probably switch things up myself. I've been using Rags for at least a year and a half, if not longer.
@ LSBK: I don't entirely disagree, at least at this point in the series. Right now, Hercule Mr. Satan is one of those too pompous for their own good, "love to hate" types whose failures are fairly cathartic. He doesn't become "genuinely" entertaining until the Buu Saga better humanizes him, IMO.
JoJo's promo in case you didn't click on the link above. ("Roundabout"... Such great music.
)
@ Beary: I haven't the foggiest idea. A bunch of their browser and mobile games over the past few years like SFxAC and Onimusha Souls never made it overseas. Maybe Capcom didn't think there'd be a market?
@ LSBK: Fair enough. You won't get any complaints from me for not liking the earth's champ.

Getting back to Hunter X Hunter for a second, I'm reading the manga, and on Hisoka getting creepier, yesterday there was a scene in a chapter that made him seem like even more of a pedophile than he already comes off as. It was played off as laughably creepy, but still...
