    Alright, we’ve 2 big pieces of Toonami news this week.

    First, a new mix-tape featuring IGPX music! And they’re letting users submit cover art, with the winner receiving one of those awesome t-shirts!

    Quote:

    IGPX: THE ICHI MEGAMIX.

    Hello Toonami Faithful!

    Last year, our little Xmas gift to you all was our SUPERNOVA MEGAMIX, which a bunch of you enjoyed/downloaded. THIS year, we’ve been inundated with requests for an IGPX megamix. For those of you who’ve been asking, good news! SKULL ISLAND (DJ Clarknova and Brent Busby) are making you a special 70 (or so) minute megamix of our favorite IGPX tracks, along with outtakes, quotes from the show and some appearances froM TOM and Sara. We’ll put it up for a free download right here on this tumblr on Xmas day.

    The reason we’re telling you guys about it NOW, is because we want YOU to make a cover for it! From now through Dec 22nd, feel free to send your designs for the cover of THE ICHI MEGAMIX to this tumblr! The winner will get one of those sweet T-shirts we’re giving away all month, and our undying gratitude.

    See you on Race Day! (or Xmas, heh)

    Love, The Toonami Crew.

    Second, Space Dandy and Naruto Shippuden are coming January 4th, alongside a new lineup!

    Quote:

    January 4th, 2014 – A day that will be long remembered.

    11:30p – Space Dandy World Premiere!!!

    12:30a – Shippuden premieres on Toonami!!!

    Toonami is proud to officially announce that Space Dandy will have its world premiere on January 4th, 11:30p, followed by a premiere episode of Bleach at midnight, and then the Toonami premiere of Naruto Shippuden.

    Yes, that means that Space Dandy is premiering on Toonami before anywhere else in the world!

    Yes, that’s 30 minutes earlier than ever before!

    Yes, we are very excited!!!

    Just think, now you can say you heard the dub before you saw the sub!

    Prepare for the 6½ hour challenge.

    Check out funimation.com for cast info and more details.

    Full Jan 4th Lineup

    11:30p – Space Dandy

    12:00a – Bleach

    12:30a – Naruto: Shippuden

    1:00a – One Piece

    1:30a – Soul Eater

    2:00a – Sword Art Online

    2:30a – FLCL

    3:00a – Uncut Naruto – Starting over at ep 1!

    3:30a – Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

    4:00a – Ghost in the Shell: SAC

    4:30a – IGPX

    5:00a – Star Wars Clone Wars

    5:30a – Inuyasha

    The anomaly here is that the original Naruto will be starting over at a later time rather than being removed from the lineup as previously announced. This was addressed by DeMarco on twitter. Apparently, Viz was generous and let them extend their deal for the episodes they’ve already aired.

    Quote:

    “Toonami fans, so I’m not doing this all day: we were allowed by partners to extend our ORIGINAL Naruto deal (52 eps) for a second run.

    Continuing from where we left off would have been prohibitively expensive. Basically, it was get Shuppuden/re-run Naruto or continue…

    …with new Naruto eps, but NO Shippuden. The choice was clear. That’s the first and last time I’ll deal with that here so please do not ask.

    IN SHORT: You can’t have it all, and neither can we. But I certainly think 3 solid hours of premieres is a good way to kick off the year.

    Pricing and availability information has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, they’re set at almost-but-not-quite-JP prices. But very few places actually sell things for full MSRP, so it should end up being slightly cheaper.

    Still disappointed its not getting dubbed (which means no Star Blazers on Toonami T^T). I’ll still probably get this release as long as they don’t do something stupid to the subs, like change all utterances of “Yamato” to “Argo” *rolls eyes*

    You’re spot on there. The films are alternate retellings of Eva after all. The first movie obviously covered eps 1-6 very faithfully, and while the second movie had a lot of differences it roughly covered events up to ep 19. The third film seems to be a bit of a mix between End of Eva and the Kaworu bits from ep 24.

    ^ NICE! There’s a showing right downtown, but they’ll probably screen it super-late… I hope I can make it. I missed 1.0 and 2.0 because of the crap time they played them at >:I

    This is in the link, but I’ll post it here anyways for convenience. It’s FUNi’s theatrical trailer for 3.33, which is mostly the same as Manga UK’s trailer, but with a few different scenes. Also, is it just me or did they do some work on the background music? It seems to have an echo-y effect to it. Sounds pretty cool :D

    ^ You’re probably over-thinking it lol. Its on Adult Swim for one thing, and its airing after midnight. I don’t think content will be an issue for anyone.

    There will, of course, be some censorship but they’ve said they’re trying to make as few edits as possible. The TV-MA-LV rating in the promo suggests that most of the violence will remain intact.
