ThunderCats is re-running? That's a shame...
People wrote in to have it reair. There are some weird-as-hell Toonami fans.

With this news, the tentative end of the second run is October 5th.

They say that not knowing how it all ends.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Where'd you see this? Did they confirm it on the tumblr? Or did you get it from the presentation?

FAKE EDIT: Nvm. Just say it on the tumblr. Shit sucks. Also, this made me shake my head.

With everything else we’re doing, replacing T’Cats was not a priority, sorry. Also: many, many others have written to us asking to run the show again…

WHO?!?!?!?!?

 

[LycanXIII]

Alright then, they need to move TCats and Titan behind E7 and GXP/Replacement then.

 

[Seda]

If rerunning Thundercats allows them to spend money on new Tom, Absolution, Logo, movie night, whatever, then perhaps I can be somewhat content with this.

 

[lazybones18]

Aww yeah, who's ready for TCats Round 2?

Spoiler

Good God NO!

 

[B-Dubs]

At the very least they should move it to later in the night. Do the GPX/TCats hour of pain.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Meh whatever. :/

 

[789shadow]

Thundercats will be running a second time. Welp.

 

[BatDan]

If the schedule isn't rearranged, there's going to be a big drop after Soul Eater.

There's six weeks between the end of ThunderCats first run and the end of GXP. Hopefully they have a plan for that.

 

[javac]

Neon Genesis Evangelion actually aired on your grandfather's Toonami. Albeit only for like 2 episodes and heavily edited.

It also aired in full on Adult Swim back around 2005 or so, so Eva 1.11 is right at home here.

Yeah I've read about it being shown on TV, sure it was even shown on UK TV at one point, I guess its just crazy to think as a guy from the UK that this stuff is being shown on TV. They even censor Regular Shown in the UK :/

 

[Doctor Decimate]

meh, it's free. we shouldn't be surprised.

and they could always throw it on the back end to make room for One Piece.

 

[slightconfuse]

Is EVA going to affect soul eaters ratings? i feel like they could show soul eater and then the movie but i guess there is no rush

I hope not. The show is very good

I'm one of those weird people okay with a second run of thunder cats

FLCL.

EDIT: Toonami Faithful has posted the "official" Momocon video, if you'd rather watch that one.

So....Thundercats is rerunning? Are we serious here?

Regarding Soul Eater & Black Paper Moon Opening.....

Here's my edit, so-so? ( Careful, Character SPOILERS ):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZR47dndEx8

 

[Man God]

Great idea, start One Piece with 5 individual filler episodes that don't tell you anything about the main character's backstories and history, and follow it up with two consecutive filler arcs, and then the longest and arguably least popular saga in all of One Piece. GREAT PLAN.

It does line up with where they last stopped showing One Piece though. Worst of One Piece is still better than the best of Bleach and Naruto.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

why does it matter where they stopped showing One Piece? it's been years.

 

[MetatronM]

Toonami made it halfway through Skypiea last time around.

But, I like it. The music cuts stood out more than the video cuts to me. Got used to that song haha.

you are entitled to your wrong opinion

 

[Order]

They should've replaced Thundercats with Young Justice, the show is perfect for Toonami.

They can't.

WTF, can someone summarize as succinctly as possible everything going on now? I'm seeing that Toonami got One Piece and I don't know if it's crosstalk in this thread or something bigger/more solid. Facts, receipts, citations all needed.

- Toonami will have One Piece on the air by the end of the year. Start date and where they start in episode order TBD. Could replace GXP but not certain. Implied that there's another show that coulda join lineup.

- Thundercats will get a second run.

- New TOM 5 & Absolution, along with all new look for Toonami sometime in April.

- Movie night this Saturday.

At Momocon in Atlanta, the Toonami crew held a panel and had multiple announcements.

In April, TOM and the Absolution will be redesigned. A web comic will be posted showing how this happens (mostly because there's no budget in animating it).
They will be showing Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone THIS SATURDAY as part of Toonami's birthday celebration (they premiered March 17th 1997).
They got One Piece. They will air it sometime this year, but they don't know when or where (in that they may not start at the beginning). Of course, it will be the Funimation dub.

This morning on the Tumblr, they announced that ThunderCats will be re-running.

>One Piece on Toonami

Holy shit, this is going to be a whole new experience with ToonamiGAF. Mission accomplished. (It's actually kinda interesting that they've picked up the ones I started listing off back during the fledgling days.)

Edit: I hope that second show is Jojo's. Shit would be wildddddd.

Jojo is not going to happen for years, if it ever happens in the first place. The music references are too much and would make it difficult to show. Sure it's not as bad in the first two parts as it is later on, but copyright lawyers are crazy.

If it even gets dubbed, which I REALLY hope it does.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i haven't seen people complain here, but i have seen them complain elsewhere, so i thought i'd post this. i think it alleviates any concern that One Piece is the only new show we'll be seeing for a while.

Okay so I've been really bad and haven't watched toonami in like a month. I'm going to fix that this saturday though. I'm really happy to hear about movie night returning

don't Warners own half the songs Jojo makes refence to?

 

[Shard]

That would still be only be half the songs.

 

[BatDan]

To list every music reference in JoJo would fill out an entire notepad, it's fairly extensive.

Hell, JoJo is a music reference, to "Get Back" by The Beatles. You can even see Joseph listen to that song on his walkman at the end of Part 3.

They should stop sucking Cowboy Bebop's dick, though.

You're one of them.

 

[789shadow]

No, they just don't need it on for a whole hour all the time.

 

[Shard]

How many rotations has Cowboy Bebop completed now?

 

[Jintor]

TOO BAD

 

[Moaradin]

Cowboy bebop is the best anime ever made but it doesn't need two slots. I think they'll reduce it to one when One Piece comes.

 

[lazybones18]

TOO BAD MOTHERFUCKER

ftfy

 

[Raxus]

Aww yeah, who's ready for TCats Round 2?

Spoiler

Good God NO!

I will watch it if only to see how the ratings fare after THE BOMB HAS DROPPED! Soon...Soon...

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Best anon response on the tumblr yet?

Didn't realize Hideki Kamiya was a member of the Toonami staff.

 

[Mature]

How many rotations has Cowboy Bebop completed now?

Hundreds. It's been on ASA for a decade or something.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Hundreds. It's been on ASA for a decade or something.

Hell, even longer. Cowboy Bebop predates Adult Swim even having an action block. It started airing on AS back in 2001 when Adult Swim first started.

 

[LycanXIII]

How many rotations has Cowboy Bebop completed now?

From the wiki:

In the United States, on September 2, 2001, Cowboy Bebop became the first anime title to be shown as part of the U.S.Adult Swim Launch.[20] It was successful enough to be broadcast repeatedly for four years. It was rerun again in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

So, to answer your question, A LOT.

probably pretty obvious that they'll have stuff throughout the night and not just during the movie, but i figured there might be a few people who needed to know.

It'll probably air during Bleach like always. Gotta take advantage of dem ratings.
