They confirmed on the Tumblr that they lost the rights to Bebop. They stated that they are confident it will return, however, and when it does, it will be the remastered version.

^Ah, that's right - with Funimation now.

[Henry88]

Recap of the Q&A so far:
- The rights to Cowboy Bebop have expired. However, they're confident that it'll be back.
- FLCL will be getting only one run. They're also trying to get the HD masters for the show.
- The ratings for The Big O were not lackluster. They just wanted to give it a break.
- Soul Eater and Sword Art Online will be replaced when they finish their runs.
- Most requested shows: Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto Shippuden, and Toriko.
- If the ratings stay high, there might be an expansion.
- They're not sure if they'll give Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood another run.
- They're done writing the Toonami comic. All they need to do is get it illustrated now.
- Miyazaki night not possible because the rights to the movies are all over the place.
- There will be a promo for FLCL.
- They're still working for free.
- The online stream count for ratings.
- Ghost in the Shell will start from the first episode, not where they left off.
- They hope to acquire Attack on Titan.
- They're looking at Ghost in the Shell: Arise.
- They're willing to air hour-long shows and OVAs with varying length times.

The Toonami Tumblr and ToonamiFaithful tumblr have both linked to this, so thought I'd post it here. It's fairly long so not going to post any of it here.

There was also this at the end of the interview:

Q: And of course, we’re all dying to know… what can you tell us about the future of the better cartoon show

A: All I can say is we just finished our Toonami planning meeting for 2013/2014, and the future is looking VERY bright. I’m excited about all the stuff we have coming, you will be too I think!

[lhb412]

YAY!

[Henry88]

it looks like an odd-ball.

I'm sure you guys saw the news about Space Dandy right? If not, it will be airing in English on Toonami the same time it premiers in Japan.

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess I couldn't read what was in front of my face.

So that's:



1st 2:30 FLCL

2nd 2 AM Korgoth

2nd 2:30 King Star King

2nd 2:45 SPECIAL (Kick-heart again!?)

3 AM Clone Wars?



Remember the 2 AM hour repeats, so there's a bonus hour. But will it actually be TOONAMI or will Toonami take a 1-hour break

[Henry88]

This will be on toonami this Saturday, it is called King Star King.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Interesting o_o.

I can't wait really. Nice to see Toonami back in full form like this :3

I miss Toonami's glory days, and by glory days I mean when I was in High School and DBZ was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I used to watch it every day or tape it so I could watch it later...ha, yeah no DVRs back then.

I remember Trigun, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop...then I got to see Big O (sadly I never finished the second season....shame on me). Big O had some of the best music...really great stuff.

I've been watching Naruto..I'm almost caught up to the Japanese broadcast...I actually like the show quite a bit, but their is a fair amount of trolling with all the "recaps" that happen. Sometimes it is probably a little necessary since they story is so vast, but it happens far too much.

Movie month sounds great.
