If that shit was an Adult Swim prank, then the 9th Doctor has some choice words for them...

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEombHh3bc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmEombHh3bc</a>  (Just generally replace "dalek" with "[as]")

Seriously, though...[as], please die.  Bring TOM back, and let the floundering, flailing corpse that is [as] finally die.

The only problem with getting rid of Adult Swim is, where will we watch Venture Bros.?

Actually, [as] can persist, just have Toonami host it on Saturday nights

So I finally managed to get some sleep after staying up until it ended at 6am.

Steve Blum is on Twitter telling everyone to spam Cartoon Network with feedback telling them to bring it back.

LINK SPAM:

Watch the whole 6 and a half hours here: http://www.justin.tv/backuptoons/b/313533622 - You'll have to skip past the end of Aqua Teen first.

The intro to the programming block: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc9A5UeW1mg
Mass Effect 3 review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYjpiddvMVU
They showed the classic "Dreams" promo multiple times throughout the night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfadJj4d5K4
You can see a compilation of all of the commercial bumpers from last night: Part 1, Part 2

BEST. APRIL FOOLS PRANK. EVER.

Updating with info:

What really gets me is that it seemed like they were playing show pilots and episodes with blatant cliffhangers.

12:00 - Bleach - 247 - Deceived Soul Reapers! The World Collapse Crisis
12:30 - Dragonball Z - 191 - Save the World
1:00 - Mobile Suit Gundam Wing - 10 - Heero, Distracted by Defeat
1:30 - Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki - 19 - Z - END
2:15 - Outlaw Star - 25 - Maze of Despair
2:45 - Big O - 1 - Roger the Negotiator
3:15 - Yu Yu Hakusho - 110 - A Reason to Fight
3:45 - Blue Submarine No. 6 - 1 - Blues
4:15 - Trigun - 23 - Paradise
4:45 - Astro Boy - 1
5:15 - Gigantor - 1

(click to show/hide)

If they bring Toonami back, what new shows should they add to the lineup? (And what old shows should they bring back?)

Toonami could take it on Saturdays.  That, or [as] could stop being a bitch and leeching of other channels, and finally make itself a separate channel unto itself.

Sooo... It turns out [adult swim] is seriously considering bringing Toonami back.

And as a bonus: https://twitter.com/#!/blumspew/status/187050146398351360

Just so long as they don't get to touch it.  If Toonami comes back with Tim and fucking Eric, I'm finding Williams St, and I'm going Red Faction on its ass.

[adult swim] was created by Williams Street
Toonami was organized by Williams Street.

How could they "not touch it"? They were the ones who created it in the first place. What needs to happen is [adult swim] gets pushed onto it's own channel, and all of the anime and action shows currently on it get moved to toonami, with [as] keeping its stoner comedy stuff. CN and [as] are already considered separate networks for ratings purposes, anyway.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sorry to keep digging up this thread again, but...



This seems promising.

Any ideas for new shows to add to their lineup in addition to their old stuff? They have to keep adding new stuff, insted of just rehashing their old shows. It would get stale otherwise. You can't run an entire programming block on nostalgia.

Just throwing out ideas here:

-New Lupin III
-Baccano!
-Samurai Champloo
-Ergo Proxy
-Black Lagoon
-Berserk
-Serial Experiments Lain
-Darker than Black
-Ghost in the Shell
-Gurren Lagann

Well, ya see...I didn't know Williams St. organized Toonami.  I still don't trust em, though...I mean, they let Saved By The Bell air on Adult Swim.  That alone is damning.

If they're going to show more mature programming, one thing I'd like to see is uncut versions of shows they used to air on Toonami.  Rurouni Kenshin is one that I would like to see.  People are getting slashed with swords, let's see more blood!!!

Pfft, fuck that jank.  If they're going uncensored versions of older Toonami shows, look no further than Tenchi Muyo.

BOOBIES!
