1.) The power of Nostalgia triumphs. 2.) Keep in mind Toonami is NOT an anime block. It is an ACTION block. 3.) Why don't you think it has good animation?

It was clearly just one of those shows that was "just there". And once it finished, Toonami didn't rerun it, and no one ever mentioned it again.

A third reason I just came up with - One Piece leaving was clearly not the Toonami crew's decision and it appeared to be out of their control. This, and the two-weeks notice only asserts this guess. So they only had a few weeks to get a new show they NEVER really considering getting, from the ground up. Similar situation with the Samurai Champloo reruns to replace their intended acquisition of Lupin III: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine.

People thought Soul Eater was two years too late and THAT performed- wait a minute no that's not true. NO ONE ever cared about Soul Eater than me. ;_;

Because they only have so many slots to fill with a limited # of days per year and maybe other circumstances that we viewers aren't aware of perspired that prevented them from getting it?

I think I'm gonna make it a habit to not comment on show-themed threads for shows that have massive backlash toward them. Maybe i should not comment live during the block when Toyko Ghoul is on. .... in fact, his is something I should've done in the old boards for SAO and SAO II. Maybe it would've saved me from quitting 3 times.

One more good thing from this: I can now go to bed at 2:30 AM instead of 3 AM, because I always skip Naruto.

Reasons I can guess for why it's Tokyo Ghoul - it's been one of the consistently requested Toonami shows for a few years now and i suppose they wanted to grant yet more of the Faithful's wishes - maybe it wasn't the most expensive shows they could get, so it was easy to pay for it

Yeah.........why Jojo? Why does Jojo out of the other new premieres they're running get to stay in its timeslot?? What is their reasoning behind that?

HxH moving late at night was expected. Because this has always been how the Toonami crew shifts the block when a new show comes that is expected to be a hit. Thing is, I would not even bat an eye over this if it wasn't fuckin Hunter X Fuckin Hunter, which should totally deserve more! >:

It sucks that our momentum depends on a poorly-animated dyfunctional family.

... where is DB Super at 11:30 ????

I'm kind of on a Black Widow kick.

Do we have reports how how the OP ratings in Japan are doing now?

R you sure they slowed it down because of the seizures that happened eons ago? Japan has a restrictive rule in broadcasting that anything that is too bright on-screen has to be dimmed down in lightness. You see it in anime openings, and action sequences all the time now.

The f. So if it wasn't Stella, what was it!?

Which show is this?

..... then better get movin to another anime...

Let me guess. They're stationed in the Northeast aren't they.

I'm starting to realize you're speaking out of your emotions.

... all the shows that remain?? They realize people can just watch most of what they air online any time they want!! They know they're no competition for that! So they decide they won't even compete, and let people tune in if they want to, and so far, it's proven that enough people DO want to watch Toonami on a set time of the week.

That, and one other certain thing. .... and that. ......... and also that....

They relegated Tenchi Muyo GXP to 3 AM because they sorely misjudged what kind of show it was and it got poor ratings. They allowed it to finish, but they never reran it. The HD remastered tapes of Cowboy Bebop only played on Toonami for 4 episodes before the block was cut in half, and then so far, never again. I'm not sure how frequent they kept taking shows off before they finished in the past though. In this case, the OP anime won't end for a long time! So OP being taken off Toonami before they caught up to the dub was always extremely high.
