Toonami, you are officially forgiven for skipping 132 episodes of One Piece.

A non-crap dub?  Is that allowed for Shenmue?

The only thing that disappointed me about the trailer was the lack of sailors and requisitions about sailors.

Looks like a big batch of interesting. I've never played Shenmue, even though I recognize the Dreamcast as the mother of all cult game consoles. I've owned a rare Sega Sports model for years. Got it hooked up to a VGA box and everything, but I rarely touch it nowadays.

Schedule speculation: very interesting that this is airing at 12:30 despite being Blade Runner's replacement (actually, the premiere should air right after Blade Runner's finale). Are they banking on having the final stretch of AoT airing at midnight by then?

That's my guess. If so, it wouldn't be the first time Toonami doesn't lead off the block with an original, as FLCL 2/3 did this as well, behind Dragon Ball Super and DBZ Kai for Progressive and a whole bunch of stuff for Alternative.

NOOOOOOOOOO THE VOICE ACTING ISN'T BAD!

But Ryo still sounds pretty monotone lmao.

And hey, this trailer dropped and the One Piece announcement both happened on my birthday!  That's pretty cool!
