Not sure how the heck that won't be butchered like crazy when they air it?
I mean it has these things in it:

Decapitated body parts
F-bombs galore
Nazis
A guy pleasuring himself with a head IIRC
a TON of blood
Very "KKK" like Vatican forces

And that's just about the first 6 episodes...

bleach last night was crazy and outright insane.

Ichigo totally got mind broken.

But more importantly...

who got Feels watching the last moment's of last night's Space Dandy ;_; ?

Last night's Space Dandy was one of the best episodes of the series so far.

If I remember correctly, this is about the time I thought the Fullbring arc began to become very interesting. Things that were seeded earlier in the arc are finally coming to fruition and we still have some more surprises ahead.

I missed seeing Gurren Lagann back when it ran on Sci-Fi's last attempt at an anime block. Glad that Toonami picked it up, and certainly nice to see another super robot/mecha series running on Toonami.

It would be nice to see Toonami pick up some other mecha series eventually, maybe even some older anime series. I'd still like to see Sgt. Frog turn up on Toonami, if it proves popular enough perhaps Funimation will continue with the dubbing. I'd watch Sgt. Frog subbed, but I know that networks vastly prefer to run a dubbed series.

plot twist incoming!

^ that was such BS, and proof that Tite Kubo can't write. Yargh. One Piece has LONG ongoing stories and it never feels like a drag to watch. Oda's just a much better writer.

Surprisingly, the Fullbring arc is self-contained; it's basically like an average anime filler arc except it's coming from the manga. On the whole I found the Fullbring arc somewhat dull until the final chapters.

According to another site I use, the 2nd episode of Hellsing Ultimate broke some sort of "bleep" record.
Mostly cause of the Jan character.

If I had watched it, I probably would have been rolling on the floor laughing at how many bleeps he had.

Of course since I own most of it already (will be getting volume 3 as soon as it hits shelves), there's no point ti watch the bleeped version.

BTW this week they won't be showing that show, cause they are doing a Beware the Batman marathon to finish that up.
So in two weeks everything moves up a bit in the schedule, and Space Dandy will be reruns after Hellsing.

Also gone is Star Wars The Clone Wars.

I wonder if the replacement for Bleach could be Toriko (also in Funimation's catalog)?

I'd love to see Sgt. Frog on Toonami, hopefully it would do well enough to spur Funimation into continuing their dub efforts.

It's a shame that Big O season 1 is 'unavailable', it's my favorite season of the show and I think it's stronger than the second season.

It'd be nice to see some more Super Robot shows on Toonami, and more older anime series in general. With Discotek Media releasing Mazinger Z to home video this year it's a shame that there isn't a full English dub for it.

took them long enough.

Looks like some of the movies will be repeats.

I don't mind them repeating movies they already have access to, they've only shown the movies once or twice a year anyways I'm sure there are plenty of people that missed seeing them the first time around.

Jason DeMarco had a little q and a on Reddit and here is the run down.
- Bleach will re-run.

- FLCL will not.

- Whatever airs at 2:30 will not be a premiere, the schedule will be released soon.

- The month of movies will not feature any of Miyazaki's work. Plans are pretty far along. The release of the schedule is tentatively scheduled for 'soon-ish'.

- Intruder 2 will be a multi-week event. No trailer's or teasers 'till next year.

- The comic is still in production, and will be held until Intruder 2.

- Nothing new with the Clydes for the rest of the year. Maybe next year.

- They'd like to air more short-run shows a la Hellsing, but not to the extent of such shows taking up most of the block. They'd also like more dark shows like BL & HU. (2)

- The network is happy with Toonami's ratings.

- Why AOT is re-rerunning at 11:30.

- Re-running newer shows is necessary at this time.

- They hope to bring Hellsing 9 & 10 to Toonami ASAP.

- They're not messing with DBZ Kai's soundtrack.

- No new developments on the Space Dandy front. That said, they would be interested in sponsoring a Space Dandy movie.

- The biggest "Rewrite The Rulebook" response was 'more adult (dark) content'.

- The Turner vs. Dish struggle will not negatively impact Toonami.

- Big O is likely to repeat after finishing its current run.

- Shows from 2004-2007 aren't too old for the block.

- They're open to Sentai shows. They'd like to work with companies other than just Funimation, Aniplex, and Viz.

- Gurren Lagann wasn't picked up to compensate for the lack of Kill La Kill.

- The Toonami budget resets in January.

- Regarding acquisitions, requests to air shows on the block come from both Toonami, and from distribu...

- The odds of another world premiere are small.

- Stretching shows isn't really in their control. Kai is a special case.

- They're working on getting Bebop in HD.

- Toonami has little access to Western animation.

- Merch is a good idea.

- Regarding Toonami's return & how Space Dandy came into being.

- There are no plans to create a new Toonami original series at present, a la IGPX.

- He likes Psycho-Pass.

- A return of Toonami Jetstream is unlikely.

- His favorite animated series are Batman: TAS, FLCL, and Future Boy Conan.

- He sold his soul for rock & roll.


- No king-of-card-games on Toonami.
