Toonami Fan's Toonami Talkback 6/2/12, It's 4 rlz now

It's real. Another week, another Toonami, three hours of anime goodness. The ratings weren't as good as they could have or should have been last week. Get out of the pool, and pile into the Absolution. Let's go for a ride.

We have premieres of Bleach, Deadman Wonderland, and Casshern SINS kicking the block off right from 12:00-1:30, and Adult Swim holdovers Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig, and Cowboy Bebop continue their runs from 1:30-3:00. From 3-6 the switch is flipped and we do it again. Simple, right?

Discuss the shows, the bumpers, the music, etc. Let's see what Toonami has in store for us this week. Jason DeMarco promised us new material every week for a while so we should see at least one or two new things.

Just remember to watch. Watch it twice if you have Nielsen. Give Toonami ratings love so Toonami can give us more.

Oh, and take a drink every time somebody yells "KILL CASSHERN! DEVOUR CASSHERN! DESTROY CASSHERN!". It'll make the rest of the time pass pretty quickly. XD

Bleach - Skipped.

Deadman Wonderland - Another solid episode! I'm still digging this series, and it's great watching the characters become even more badass.

Casshern Sins - Much better than last week's "ho-hum" premiere. I like the increased melodrama in this one.

FMA:B - Yep!

GitS:SAC - Don't care.

Cowboy Bebop - Yep!

Also, "Building You A Better Cartoon" came back! Yay!

We won't be intimidated by criminal threats!

It seems like Casshern Sins is the most polarizing series in the lineup. I've heard extremes from both sides. "This is great!" to "this is incredibly boring!" Meanwhile Deadman Wonderland seems to be the surprise hit among most fans.

I watched the full night as always.

Missed it, but I'm glad to see the new hodgepodge, and The Better Cartoon Show Promo. Makes me think of that Sasuke line, "I'm trembling with excitement." At the same time, taking it all in, and dreaming bigger because the relaunch is motivation in itself!

While that sounded like a good idea going in, it would've ended badly once you got to the seen with the mob...

Great night, loved the new stuff!

I watched most of the block. I will admit tho that since I'm still trying to get thru the Bount arc of Bleach, that we DVR'd that and switched to the west coast CN channel for Home Movies and went back to look thru it for new stuff later. I have been watching Deadman, Casshern, GitS and Bebop every week tho. I'm still trying to get through the first FMA series.

I enjoyed the new DW and CS, and rather enjoyed the classic Bebop (new to my friend somehow) and new-to-me Gits ep.

Well that's why I said the rest of the block would go by fast ya know. XD
