Space Dandy Confirmed To Be Split-Cour

https://twitter.com/liborek3/status/441181134731223040

So it looks like the March 29th episode will be the last new one we get for a little while, but it'll be back (probably) later in the year.

Good that Space Dandy will have more than 12-13 episodes!

What episode are they on now? I think the last one I saw was the one about the underwear and vest dudes. Which was that? I figure I should probably catch up on it On Demand.

However, why is Toonami taking a break on the show? I thought the whole point of it was to air it at the same time it was airing in Japan.

BTW, for those that have been keeping up weekly, has any semblance of a plot or that there is continuity between episodes started to appear?

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

>Plot.

WHAT plot? This show is essentially a Williams Street show animated by Studio BONES rather than Ti tmouse or Ghost Industry.

The problem is, I am not enjoying the show. I enjoy Panty & Stocking and that is very American in its story telling. Nevertheless, it is a fun witty show with lots of great parodies, but it also feels like there is meaning in the characters' actions. I do not enjoy Space Dandy. I do not find any of the characters likable. And the music for the most part sucks. I think the fourth episode is the only one I truly enjoyed, at least for its first half. It's second half was kind of stupid.

So how is Black Lagoon on Toonami?
I would guess they had to do something about the language.
Since Revy is a walking curse machine...

Blah. Half of the anime this new Toonami shows can go rot.

[klen7]

I have enjoyed Space Dandy so far.. except the plant episode. The zombie episode was one of the beautiful things i have seen in a while.

[The Shadow]

Has Cartoon Network revealed anything about the new widescreen presentation of Samurai Jack that they are showing on Toonami now?

I don't recall any of the press releases mentioning the new widescreen presentation, and it's the sort of thing you'd expect CN to publicize for the Toonami airings. It's particularly odd as the Samurai Jack episodes running on Boomerang (or were running until recently) are the original 4:3 presentations.

[Henry88]

I am going to give this titan show a chance but it dose not look like my cup of tea.

DBZ Cooler's Revenge is coming Saturday May 24th at Midnight. Bleach and Space Dandy are taking the night off.

there is a rumor around that KILL la KILL will be on toonami sometime in the future.

Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball Z Kai coming to Toonami. Nostalgia!!!

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

[lhb412]

I'm looking forward to it. "Dragon Ball Z without all the filler" sounds like it was tailor-made for adults who want to revisit the series.
