Megalo Box was still pretty action-y, even as a sports series.

Well yeah, SAO is pretty much the ur-isekai.

Yeah, I’ve said it before, but combat sports can’t really be compared to traditional stick and ball sports, especially in adaptations.  Your layman may not get the rules of tennis, but they’ll get a fist punching someone in the face.

Could Nichijou be coming to Toonami??

 

This one COULD actually happen, folks!!!

"Does Nichijou is Toonami" is the most disgust in the media of the past old. Do YOU still believe or not?? *Game Grumps reference, since apparently people mistook my last attempt for being dyslexic and didn't get the joke*

It should have years ago but I would not say it’s too late to bring it in.

It's getting a S2 though. Maybe some renewed interest =P

FYI there's a post going around that One Piece will return to Toonami this summer.

 

It's confirmed to be fake.  Don't spread it.

Well, if it ever does return, it won't be at the spot where it got pulled!

[that's for damn sure]

Really, 'cause the rumor I heard was that one of the new shows was Tokyo Ghoul :re. If it is, then I guess Pierrot really does find a way, like it did several times before during the Kinky Kunoichi writing process.

If OP does come back,

1. I likely won't watch it because I watched the dub on Funimation now after they got rid of it

2. the pacing is so slow, it's best to just plow through several episodes on fast forward.

And yet, people consider the show "good." It's one of the great mysteries of life.

Really now. I saw it posted by WTK, which is a pretty reputable news account, so I assumed it was an accidental leak. But it's since been deleted, so it mustn't be.

FUN FACT: If you look hard enough at this bump, it pretty much reveals that Angel Beats and Highschool of the Dead were actually under consideration for pickup by [as] in the dry spell between Durarara!!'s end and Toonami's resurrection.

And that's how we wound up getting Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins.

Angel Beats, ranked the tenth most popular anime in existence by MAL... was passed up for Casshern sins?

Yeah I can see Demarco doing that.

At least Deadman was relatively popular even though it was a mess, so from a business standpoint you can't really fault him.

What's not to understand? They're in purgatory but it's high school. And you can make weapons but it's impossible to die. And it's run by a computer, or something... I don't know.

Damn I keep forgetting to post on Saturday.

Could Is This a Zombie? be coming to Toonami?

 

Hey it was on Chiller, and we all know how much good that did!

I woulda watched it on Chillr... however... I had no idea they had an anime block. That's where that whole advertising thing comes into play.

Also... Chillr was NOT even HD. I'm spoiled on HD now so I can't go back to watching non HD shows, they look like shit to me now.

I actually recorded all three nights of Chiller Ani-Wednesdays way back when; I watched them on my CRT TV in the living room, so the only quality problem I had was the stretchy aspect ratio for Tokyo Majin. Point was, I had avoided Is This a Zombie? like the plague up until then, and after that, I managed to finish both seasons and actually like it.

So thanks, Chiller. Thiller.

After Food Wars! is there really a point to this thread?

I mean, we've pretty much reached the bottom of the barrel....

 

We haven't aired "In another World with a Smartphone" or "Tenchi Muyo War on Geminar"... yet.

Food Wars is kind of a C list pick but there's much worse.

More like a "B-" pick.

Will the Tenchi franchise ever release something good enough for Toonami instead?

Also, somehow with the likes of Gundam the Origin and My Hero Academia relegated to the 3 AM hour abyss right now, the bar seems REALLY high...

From what I've seen... the Tenchi Franchise is done. Every show they've tried since the first 3 or 4 has been pure awful. It only exists due to nostalgia.
