OwlChemist81 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think it's quite funny that yesterday we were all speculating that DBZ was done on Toonami! I ALSO think it's quite funny that on the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor we're all raving about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 An hour of Dragon Ball followed by new Gundam, sounds good to me pretty classic Toonami setup It's an hour of Dragon Ball followed by new JoJo and Gundam. JoJo might be something quite new, but based off of an older manga from the time of DBZ, so still indeed a classic Toonami setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 It's a brave new world now. They'll probably get 11pm for Samurai Jack and encore it at 8:30pm or even premiere it at 8:30pm with 11pm encores. I feel like they're kind of blowing their load with this by airing both at the same time but I suppose airing Super as soon as possible is the priority here. I figured they'd just skip Buu if they had Super but I have once again underestimated how far they will go not to drop a show mid-run.

Dbs will do fine I hope Disney does well with anime and gets Sailor Moon because Disney, while more or less total cowards when it comes to LGBT stuff, have been trying hard to be more feminist, so they might air some anime with female leads someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't want it on broadcast TV. Even if it's weird as hell seeing those ads while trying to watch say, Wrestling with Wregret. I will say if the commercial voice is from the new dub, she sounds way better than the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainStarwind Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well Toonami never fails to impress me, I can say that much. Glad to see Buu Saga coming, at least we can finish off DBZ Kai right. Not really thrilled at Super showing up. Like, at all. I still think it sucks and I'd prefer Toonami without it. It'll get good ratings, though, and it got Toonami a slot expansion, it appears, so it's all good for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the wildest of [WORD]chemist crackpot theories couldn't have predicted this. Both of these shows plus Gundam Unicorn are coming right at the start of the year, so Toonami must have improved managing their budget compared to last year. At this point, there's no telling how far they'll try to take the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, there's no telling how far they'll try to take the block. The amount of money Adult Swim is spending on action programming is astonishing at this point. I'd have to figure this dipped beyond the usual Toonami budget big time. Something only allowed because it's fark'n Dragon Ball and it prints money. They'll probably make an exception for Attack on Titan season 2 next year as well. It exciting to see Adult Swim go above and beyond for action though a bit less so since so much of their spending is just on Dragon Ball series.

AnimationFan14 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have to say what mostly everyone else is already saying which is that all of this happening so early into 2017 is a grand shock. I mean if it was just DragonBall Z Kai The Final Chapters replacing DBZ Kai with no Super/11:30 Slot expansion then it would be big news but all of this that we are really getting starting January 7th is kinda jaw dropping. I am quite excited for the entire hour of huge Dragonball premieres (Which will surely be extremely successful for Toonami) plus Unicorn.

moose Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Super coming was predictable, but looks like they also scored Buu Kai as well. That should keep ratings afloat.

moose Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Oh please. One Piece has more thought put into it than the entirety of Dragonball Z. I mean, I like DBZ, but make no mistake it's the simple-man's anime. It literally provides nothing but fights. That's pretty brain-dead. And yes, while you may not agree with what I'm about to say, OP at least provides more than that. And before you twist my words in your horrible attempt to be witty (you know you're gonna try) let me stop you right there by saying it provides more GOOD stuff. But feel free to respond in typical Jman fashion. I'll give the countdown... 3.... 2.... 1.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
