Toonami is doing good

[Phlogiston]

This needs to be remedied.

I agree, JB needs to hear some bad things about Gurren Lagann.

Gurren Lagann sucks.

It's gotten old and rusty. Then again, I want a full block of Cowboy Bebop on Toonami/similar and am currently rewatching X, and have been watching Zeta Gundam and some other nineties series with friends, so basically

I don't know what the **** I'm talking about

massive revelation i'm sure

i bet ya'll are just like

at this

Anyway. None of these options hugely appeal to me, but I've never seen Blue Exorcist before, and what I know of Vividred Operation just looks like complete and utter overkill on "certain fronts."

Jolteon91 wasn't being serious when he said that Gurren Lagann sucks. He only says things like that to troll CC#06.

Gurren Lagann sucks.

Oh you. <3

Wow the hate I'm seeing in this thread is actually pretty hilarious. I like the argument, posted by BOTH sides, that one lacks merit because their show "sucks" for fact. Just agree to disagree, but don't push your opinion as fact, because it just makes you look stupid.

Someone's taking this too seriously~

I'm gonna warn you Gurren Lagann (even though it may look good) is annoying to watch, I agree with jolteon91, Gurren Lagann sucks.

You however are just plain wrong.

You know I find that this seems to be a war from old anime watchers like myself and youngins who watch anything because they're addicted to it like a smoker wants to smoke a cig (that and my favorite definition of twihards can finally come into play here "they wouldn't know a good book if it punched them in the face"). Then again I come from an older generation of anime watchers where when they made good anime there was a noticeable difference, where as to nowadays *face palm*.

Ha ha, what am I even reading?

Thanks for clarifying, it seems some people didn't get it.

I feel like this is exactly what I should expect from this section.

It's kind of impossible to tell if he's serious or not about 82% of the time. I mean, he apparently likes Lucky Star.

Gurren Lagann sucks.

Gurren Lagann has an average to somewhat below average OST.

Isn't Fate/Zero going on the Neon Alley this spring? Doesn't that mean it can't go on Toonami?

I doubt most of Toonami's base have even heard of Neon Alley.

[voicerocker]

I doubt most of Toonami's base have even heard of Neon Alley.

I doubt that. Most of Toonami's viewers are anime fans with a decent amount of casual viewers as well. From what I've seen, most are well aware of Neon Alley.

[Vern]

How many anime fans are aware or take part in it's subscription based offers? I doubt the amount you have seen is close to substantial enough for it to have any merit on its own.

[Kutie Pie]

Since its real late at night they could put Higurashi. I mean I doubt there will be kids up that late.

Do you really want to subject people to that dub? I don't mind the dub honestly, but it's not that great for the first half of the show. I'd much rather have Umineko on than Higurashi, but even then, I think Toonami might have some guidelines as to what should or shouldn't be aired on their block--I could be wrong, but yeah. Even then, I don't think FUNimation will ever give them permission to air it. They haven't done much with the series anyway except pull videos from YouTube down.

With them premiering dubs of Tiger & Bunny, Blue Exorcist and InuYasha: Final Act, I'm fairly sure they have a decent amount of viewers since those are the most popular shows right now, and with Fate/Zero coming soon, it'll probably increase their viewers. I doubt they have an extreme amount, but I can't image they're unknown to most anime fans.

[ParaChomp]

It's gotten old and rusty.

Did you do that on purpose?

It would be an excellent fit for the block but in general, the melody of cliches was never that good to begin with (though it was fun to watch).

[ven?]

I won't lie I did go over board there with some mindless idiosim but the truth still stand's I just think that majority of popular anime nowadays suck, garrun lagen does suck and that's just my opinion).

Why are you supposed to get anything for yourself out of reading another person's opinion, makes you sound like you have none of you're own.

Are you talking about anime watched? Or toonami itself? Since it's online I'm sure a large amount of anime fans which mainly reside online will have no problem finding it if they're interested in seeing it aired on TV as well.

Gurren Lagann has an average to somewhat below average OST.

I wouldn't say so. Gurren Lagann's soundtrack utilizes a wide variety of styles (rock, classical, punk, j-pop, jazz, rap, even opera) and mashes them together to create something wonderful. Libera Me From Hell is probably one of the best examples of this. Its standalone theme music is also exhilarating, No Helping It! and Omae no XXX de Ten wo Tsuke!! being some of the best in my opinion.

What I was really concerned about is licensing issues. I don't know much about anime licensing but I do know that Neon Alley is something you have to pay for. So I assume that if they got something like Fate/Zero or Blue Exorcist on their programming that they'd take some countermeasures to make sure people can't watch it elsewhere for free (ie. Toonami) right?

It would be an excellent fit for the block but in general, the melody of cliches was never that good to begin with (though it was fun to watch).

I agree that it uses a ton of clichés but it's also an amazing series. I'll argue that until I die.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFT.

WELP. I know who I'm not taking seriously anymore.

[Phlogiston]

Did you do that on purpose?

No, but it's funny how things work out sometimes.

It would be an excellent fit for the block but in general, the melody of cliches was never that good to begin with (though it was fun to watch).

That is fairly true. It would be right at home on Toonami. I just probably wouldn't often be in the mood for it.

Any other way we can torture you that isn't putting down his favourite foreign cartoon?

Who is in general?

looks at time

Ugh...I can explain!

[Charizard Champion#06]

Next best thing would be taking away my video games, really.

[Jolteon91]

Libera Me From Hell is probably one of the best examples of this.

I ****ing love Libera Me From Hell.

This is modern stupidity at it's finest.

[Jb]

Your reasoning for not liking TTGL is because the majority of popular anime suck, and he's the stupid one?

[Vern]

I'd much rather have Umineko

We should be thankful that it won't be getting dubbed. There's no need to to torture us in a language we understand.

With them premiering dubs of Tiger & Bunny, Blue Exorcist and InuYasha: Final Act, I'm fairly sure they have a decent amount of viewers since those are the most popular shows right now, and with Fate/Zero coming soon, it'll probably increase their viewers. I doubt they have an extreme amount, but I can't image they're unknown to most anime fans.

I'm not talking about anime fans in general though. I'm talking about the ones that watch Toonami. Judging by the shows Toonami airs, it's quite likely that there are more casual anime fans than hardcore ones that go out of their way to watch Tiger & Bunny and such.

Are you talking about anime watched? Or toonami itself? Since it's online I'm sure a large amount of anime fans which mainly reside online will have no problem finding it if they're interested in seeing it aired on TV as well.

While I agree that the variety is there, I found none of the songs to be actually good in my opinion (I'm just going to use this once as the disclaimer). I used to have the soundtrack and there was really only one song, maybe two, that I actually enjoyed sans the openings and such. I could try to look the song up but that's probably take some time.

Yeah, probably. That's what I would expect but we don't really know what's in the contract anyway.

I thought it was dubbed o_o. Guess I read the announcement wrong or something... interesting.

Question: has Vision of Escaflowne been on Toonami's block before? I know it was on Fox Kids, but I don't think they ever showed it all the way through. The entire series has been dubbed, so I figured they showed it somewhere, and Toonami was the one that came to mind.
