Who is enjoying Toonami's return?

You know, on adult swim?

 

It looks great to me, and they're even staying true to it(they have an old version of Tom, too, rather than the dumb and generic Tom 4 we got before the end of the first Toonami), so that's great.

 

I have yet to find time to watch it on a Saturday night, what with my brother using the damn living room as his bedroom, but he's leaving for boot camp on October 1st, so I may be able to.

 

Anyways, again, is anybody enjoying its return?

I've been watching Toonami since I was a kid, Sucks they canceled it but glad they brought it back with a new improved Tom, instead of the crappy looking Mirror circle like Tom. Toonami's new genre in anime is pretty interesting. I'm glad they brought back Eureka Seven. They need to bring back some old series as well. Like Tenchi Muyo, etc. I kinda like how the new improved Tom is. Pretty badass looking. He cusses, etc. But I kinda missed the second Tom model with the tag on his chest. Over all, I am glad they brought back Toonami. It kinda sucks that Naruto Shippuden isn't airing on Toonami though.

Reading up on Wikipedia about it, this Toonami thing is something I wish we would've had back in the day... All we had was shows scattered across several different stations/networks, none of which actually aired things like Gundam, .hack or Evangelion... There were a lot of American superhero shows, there were anime like Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon, but that's about it.

 

Hell, even today there's barely anything else on FTA television, only on digital subscription channels like Animax - and even then, what they do have doesn't really compel me to get a subscription. Get some more niche titles, and fresh from Japan ASAP, then I'll bite.

Xdan, They have plenty of anime over at Crunchyroll and Hulu. You should check them out. :)

Well, if it wasn't for licensing restrictions that prevent two-thirds of CR's anime from being streamed over here, and prevent Hulu from working period... I had ranted about that on here before, but out of all the anime I watched that were also shown on CR, I could've watched one (Shinryaku! Ika Musume, aka Squid Girl).

You can still access HULU with a proxy, premiumize.me is working great for me. You will also get acces to some OCH and the GEMA won't annoy you on Youtube anymore. ;)

MasterPhW: That seems pretty interesting, especially considering how other many sites they offer as well, like the BBC (ex. for Top Gear)...

 

Also, I remembered that we did have something sorta comparable to Toonami, albeit maybe once or twice a year: one station here, VOX, had "anime nights" now and then, where they showed a complete series back-to-back during one or two nights. Or well, actually programming provider dctp had them on VOX, in their "dctp Night Club" event timeslots...

 

Anyway, depending on the show's length, it ran from around midnight to 5:30 AM or so. I did watch ex. Samurai Champloo that way, and (although I missed that night) they'd also shown Evangelion at least once, subtitled, as a German dub didn't exist back then. I believe it's been years since their last anime night, tho... 2007 maybe. So no idea if that's still a thing for them.
