I guess we really needed to know Bulma's mother's name, right? My god, this is just reminding me that Super is gonna suck.

That is true. They really went all out on the dub cast. I really wish they would have stuck with the idea they had in the IGPX miniseries. It would have been interesting to see a show based on that.

I think the the OVA series is just going to continue as long as they can keep thinking of new girls to add to the harem. That's the conclusion I've come to.

OVA 3's existence is made a lot easier to ignore by the fact that Funimation doesn't even have it in the same boxset as OVAs 1 and 2, or at least they didn't when I bought my set.

Yeah I hate this new art style already, but given the pics of Kajishima's current stuff I understand why they changed it. This also looks terrible, in general, but so is pretty much anything Tenchi recently. The only Tenchi stuff that I actually liked was the stuff that aired on OG Toonami and the Tenchi Universe movies. I truly can't believe Tenchi has enough popularity, especially after that third OVA, to warrant a fourth OVA series.

I'd imagine the full ratings would come out today so we can see how JoJo did then. Regardless of whether or not it did worse than the One Piece marathon, it was a holiday weekend, so I'm sure they weren't expecting much. The DBZ marathon will obviously do well, though, even if it is New Years Eve.

Yeah I don't really mind IGPX. I won't go out of my way to get it on Toonami again, but if a rerun slot opens up it would be nice to see.

I've heard of this prior to Mochi talking about it, so I'm more inclined to believe it.

Goddamn, 2016 really has it out for Carrie Fisher's family, doesn't it? It wouldn't even be worth it to make a tasteless joke about this.

I've actually heard that he does, too. It's one more reason to hate Super for me.

Huh. This might make the next Star Wars movie a bit more difficult.

It doesn't have to air before DBS to get us 11:00. It AoT Season 2 was going to get Toonami an expansion, they could just stick it at 11:30 and push DBS up to 11:00.

And that's why Ryoko was always best girl.

This seems about right. I figured we would be getting 11:00 expansion for whenever the hell Samurai Jack shows up, though there may be a show that AoT can expand out.

Oh, I agree. There are objectively better shows than it, but Inuyasha always entertained me.

Well, assuming that there aren't any marathons in the next few months (that that it doesn't get taken off for Daylight Savings), Battle Tendency should end on April 22, so if they were going to premiere AoT after another show has ended, it would probably be April 29. Of course, given how big a name AoT is, who's to say we don't get expansion for that? Or maybe it won't premiere in April, and will show up later in the year.

They confirmed a while back that he was dead, though I personally believed he was alive, since it fit the ending of R2 so much better. Unless you mean they recently confirmed that he was alive. I haven't heard anything about that.

I usually just wait for the complete DVD releases to buy the show from Funi. It's only if I really like the show that I can justify spending so much money (Eureka Seven). I just flat out refuse to buy from Aniplex, which is why I'm glad I got both FMA releases from Funi before the rights were lost.

You know... this actually makes Shippuden seem more coherent. To me, anyway. I'm just going to assume this is canon now, just like how I assume the Bleach anime only exists for the first 63 episodes, before the king of Hueco Mundo kills Aizen for being an asshole.

Fixed

I completely agree with this. I've been burnt out on Toonami for a long while, which is a shame since I like so many of the shows individually. I think the tipping point for me was right after they picked up Akame Ga Kill, actually.

So is Ohgi not the Prime Minister anymore? Not like he was ever cut out for the job, but you know, consistency is nice. This trailer leaves me so confused, I literally have more questions now than I did before. I can't wait for the xenophobia. If Donald Trump doesn't show up in this in some form I'll be sorely disappointed. So does this confirm that Lelouch didn't die?

I vaguely remember a cartoon on Nickelodeon from like 2000 called Pelswick. I remember absolutely nothing about the show other than that the main character was a paraplegic, and that the animation was really offputting to me (at the time, anyway).

They probably don't have the money to afford DBZ Kai reruns. On top of that, it would lock up another spot (even if it is only a rerun slot) with a long runner.

I think the best era for Toonami was 2013 to 2014. 2013 saw Toonami beginning to pick up higher profile shows (I'll take Soul Eater over Deadman Wonderland anyday), and it seemed like the block began to develop an identity for itself, rather than just being "ASA with Toonami packaging" like it seemed to be in 2012. 2014 took it further, with expansion and the addition of even better shows (Gurren Lagann, Black Lagoon). Toonami in 2014 struck a pretty good balance between airing long running shonens, shorter seinen series, and older Adult Swim reruns. It seemed like the block had something for everybody.
