    I doubt its that they wouldn’t let them have it if they wanted it. Toonami picks what they want to air, they may think Hellsing is too old to bother with (its also not very good, aside from the first few eps). It (and Ultimate) may also be too expensive. Prices tend to be determined predominately by popularity (although age does play a part too). Outlaw Star, for example, has been stated to be too much for them to afford despite being 15 years old simply because its really, really popular.

    With Hellsing Ultimate there’s several factors against it. One of which is run time. Being an OVA series, the run time tends to fluctuate between 45 up to 70 minutes (for the last ep). That’s tough to squeeze into the schedule, as it would take up two slots normally with the last episode basically needing to be treated like a movie (as it would run about 1.5 hours with commercials).

    It would also need to be censored somewhat. Its not like Akira is airing uncut either, but they do try to get away with as few edits as possible.

    But probably the biggest factor right now is the fact that its not completely licensed. FUNi currently only has the first 8 episodes. They wouldn’t want to air an incomplete show and then wait months and months before they can show the last 2 eps.

    They’ve said they’d be open to airing OVA series in the future, but they would need to wait for the right time to do it. I don’t think we’ll ever see the older Hellsing on Toonami, but Ultimate is a possibility once its fully licensed.

    NIS America too for that matter. Just finished Bunny Drop.. I’m all warm and fuzzy…

    Be glad you didn’t read the manga. From what I hear the anime leaves off at the point right before the manga gets… weird.

    -LOVE, THE TOONAMI CREW

    Honestly, I’m not terribly excited about this. Its another by-the-numbers Shonen Jump series. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll watch it since I haven’t seen it yet, and the concept does sound interesting, but there are other Aniplex shows I was hoping for instead of this one *cough*GurrenLagann*cough*. Well, at least Blue Exorcist will be a TV premiere.

    To no ones surprise they go with solid blue for the cover. I didn’t have a problem with 2.22 being solid orange, so its fine I guess. I gotta say though, I really do like that black BD banner.

    New speech: Respect

    Next week they’ll be doing an officially sponsored look at the Xbox One. The money they got outta the deal went towards NEW ANIMATIONS. A new game review room perhaps? I assume whatever new animations we get are the start of the “interesting things happening with TOM and the Absolution” mentioned in the Movie announcement Tumblr post.

    A few tidbits of info from Jason DeMarco’s twitter.

    They don’t seem to concerned about viewers being confuzled by Shamballa.

    Soul ‏@Soulful_Chris

    I’m a big fan of The Conqueror of Shamballa. It was a great send off to the original FMA TV series. Just hope it doesn’t throw people off.

    LICH KING DEMARCO ‏@Clarknova1

    @Soulful_Chris We aired FMA for years. People have had plenty of time to see that show.

    Oh, and look who this tweet is from :D

    Grant K ‏@wisper_g

    @Clarknova1 @Rurouni720 I’m glad to see Shamballa, but it’ll be confusing to Brotherhood watchers who haven’t seen the end of the old show.

    LICH KING DEMARCO ‏@Clarknova1

    @wisper_g @Rurouni720 They’ll survive!

    In case there were any questions or concerns regarding Akira…

    Since so many of you had asked, I’ll answer. Obviously we will edit AKIRA as little as humanly possible. Thanks.

    LICH KING DEMARCO ‏@Clarknova1

    Oh and yes it will be in HD and it will be the 2001 dub. Any other Q’s please send to the Toonami tumblr, thanks guys!
