starswirlthebearded Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 So... After the April Fools joke and subsequent fan outcry, CN has decided, in all its wisdom, to give the fans what they wanted and bring back Toonami.http://www.adultswim...nami/index.htmlDiscuss.Edit: Btw, I know there was one for the April Fools joke, but this is for the official announcement. Feel free to merge if you feel it is unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Interesting!~ I wonder what their lineup is going to be? I'd love to see a mix of old and new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Breeze Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Honestly, it seems they're just slapping a desired label on the same old product (Adult Swim Saturday Night). I'm not complaining, I love me my Steve Blum (T.O.M.), but all the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's listed is their current schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a possibility to use it as a weeknight thing and a means to release more adult oriented Anime shows. There are plenty of them out there. And there is no shortage of them. I'd personally love to see Naoki Urasawa's Monster be put on along with a revival of Lupin III, starting from Green shirt through Red Shirt.

I'd personally love to see Naoki Urasawa's Monster be put on along with a revival of Lupin III, starting from Green shirt through Red Shirt.That would be... fantastical... Monster's English dub is owned by MANGA Entertainment though and they had a big chunk of investment in AniMonday. I'm not sure how good of a position they are in to negotiate with TimeWarner Broadcasting. I'd love to see the show again, I just don't want the people who took to the time to localize a great show to be shafted. Since Lupin III was already broadcast that is far more likely, and also would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hoof MD Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I am curious to see how this turns out. It would give me a reason to watch CN again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Looks like new original programming is a gohttp://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-16/toonami-revival-to-have-new-original-anime-programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hmm. I'm curious to see what they do with this. if it's just a rebranding of their current saturday night lineup, that's really kind of disappointing, since adult swim's long since lost me and a change of name isn't going to get me back.If they put effort into it though, I dunno. it might just be something to get excited for. I guess we'll find out later this month...EDIT: I guess there's something original to it after all. That's good. Here's hoping it's something awesome.

MyLittlePonyTales Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Aw man. I would have been on the gun on this announcement if I wasn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsporko Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I wonder how much they plan on investing with this. I know in the past Adult Swim had rating troubles with Anime, maybe this revival will change things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ooooh I'm glad to see they're bringing along FMA: Brotherhood in addition to the original -- though I imagine it might be confusing for someone who doesn't know the series got remade. No Trigun, though?!There are dozens -- if not hundreds -- of really good anime series they could include in the new Toonami. Hellsing and Claymore come off the top of my head...well, maybe for late nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
