Toonami's Back & Fujiko Mine - - The Vice Pit

I found Witchblade interesting with the mixture it had. I never read the comics or watched the movies/tv series. Much like other series, it's not all that great but it has intrigue.

I really think since DBZ cannot air on Toonami then the block would really benefit from Sentai Filmworks and Section23 series. Shows like Angel Beats!, Dream Eater Merry, Infinite Stratos, and some subtitled series would be good additions to bring in more viewers instead of just going with age-old content like Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop. Hell, even other FUNi titles like Samurai Champloo, Claymore, Negima, and Blassreiter would be good. Toonami should want to air shows that don't get shown or have not been seen on other channels in a long time (since it looks like IFC and SyFy do not show anime anymore). There are other shows that would be cool to have on tv but they would suffer too much from editing that they would lose their feel.

I was disappointed in the Deadman Wonderland anime and forgot to record the first episode but I recorded the second so I could check out the dub. But otherwise, I have no reason to watch Toonami at this point since I have already seen/own/don't care about the series currently in the block.

@FoxxFireArt:

Yeah I just finished watching the episode and there are some bad voices. But I knew Ayres as Ganta was going to be bad to begin with. I wish he would do more with his voice than just the 'super annoying, wimpy type'. But surprisingly, I felt the other voices were fine-except for Shiro's. Her VA doesn't bring out the oddities in her character like the Japanese did.

Considering the abundance of online streaming I would have a hard time bothering to watch Toonami during those hours. I wish it could be a highlighted afternoon or primetime block like it used to be. I probably wouldn't watch it, but at least some younger kid that watches Cartoon Network would see it. That's how I learned about anime and several years later I still like anime.

Awesome video! Casshern Sins is good, but it's hard to follow through the fight sequences. I find it awkward. This is my first time of enjoying Casshern Sins without watching it the Japanese version prior. I find the concept of Rust giving robots humanity because they facing death like humans. I find it enjoyable after watching Deadman Wonderland's poor voice acting which is only Greg. Everyone else is okay. I still to need try out the new Lupin III series.

Interestingly, this Toonami incarnation does not have much fan service. So far, I seen action and gore, but I usually fall asleep after finishing Bleach, Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins, and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood in that order. I'm just too tired to stay awake.

I wouldn't mind Toonami airs Lupin III anime. I can't remember the exact series that aired on channel La 18-2 (UTB Hollywood) in the Los Angeles area last year before Case Closed replace the show. I loved that series.

@FoxxFireArt:

I didn't know that. I started watching Adult Swim around in 10th grade (about 7 years ago or so). UTB Hollywood airs Case Closed in Japanese. I never watch the English version yet. I didn't know they drastically change the names like Ran to Rachel. That was weird, Jimmy Kudo. Hopefully, Ganta gets a manlier voice.
