    Wow, that’s some big ol’ news ain’t it? Its a good move for the block, but I’m honestly a little disappointed. I was watching Naruto and they’ll now be dropping it in the middle of a major arc so, like One Piece, I’m going to have to cram in 150+ episodes to get caught up…

    isawitplz

    I really would’ve preferred they finish off their run of the original Naruto (assuming they willingly dropped it), even if they would’ve had to kick it to a super-late slot.

    Anyways, here’s the original Tumblr post for reference:

    Quote:

    ANOTHER BIG HONKIN’ TOONAMI ANNOUNCEMENT:

    Hey guys! It’s only been a week or two since we announced the happy news that we’ll be world premiering SPACE DANDY on Toonami in January, but we’ve got more big news we’ve been dying to communicate to you.

    First, some bad news: Naruto will be leaving Toonami on November 30th. Don’t worry, it’s out there streaming in several places if you want to continue the story (and we think you should).

    But the GOOD news is, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN is finally coming home to Toonami in January, premiering the same night as Space Dandy (final date tbd)!

    And yes, it will be uncut. And glorious.

    There’s more news coming down the pike, but for now, enjoy your regular Naruto eps and prepare to get caught up, because SHIPPUDEN. IS. COMING.

    We’re excited! Hope you are too.

    Stay Gold!

    Love, the Toonami Crew

    I’ve been having the same issue as Chuck for a few days now, I just hadn’t gotten around to posting about it yet. But for me its not just smilies, I can’t use any of the BBCode buttons (Quote, insert pic/video, bold, font size/color, etc). None of it works, though I can still insert stuff into my posts manually.

    Toonami had quite the odd lineup for the extra DST hour last night.

    They aired King Star King (a pilot for an upcoming AS show) followed by Korgoth of Barbaria (one of AS’s best pilots BTW 😉, which was sadly never picked up for a full series) and a repeat airing of Production IG’s Kick-Heart (which previously aired after Eva 2.22 during the last movie night).

    12:00AM – Bleach

    12:30AM – Naruto (Uncut)

    1:00AM – One Piece

    1:30AM – Soul Eater

    2:00AM – Sword Art Online

    2:30AM – FLCL

    2:00AM – King Star King

    2:15AM – Korgoth of Barbaria

    2:45AM – Kick-Heart

    3:15AM – Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    3:30AM – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    4:00AM – Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

    4:30AM – IGPX

    5:00AM – Inuyasha

    5:30AM – Inuyasha

    EDIT: Here’s the on-air bumps if anyone’s interested.

    I’ll start things off with a cameo that threw me for a loop when I found it. Skip to 2:01 in this video:

    Apparently, Photon has a cameo in Tenchi in Tokyo in which he almost got punched in the face by Ryoko 😆 . We’ve discussed cameos here on Tenchiforum before, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a mention of this one. I’m not very far into Tokyo yet myself. I wouldn’t have found this if not for that AMV.

    Photon is in dire need of some more representation in this thread.

    -When Big O eventually returns they would like to start with Season 1. And who just licensed Big O? Sentai Filmworks. This show could be the one that pushes them to form a partnership with Sentai 😉

    – They want to air more non-Japanese cartoons. There’s just not a lot of action cartoons being made these days, so the pickings are quite slim.

    – In regards to filler (the question specifically referred to Naruto’s extended filler arc), they could skip whatever they wanted to (as in, they’re not contractually obligated or anything like that to air every episode), but they won’t be. Just because episodes may have original content created specifically for the TV show that was not in the original source material doesn’t mean those episodes don’t deserve to air (FYI that last sentence was my words, not their’s, but that’s what I think they were getting at).

    “Anything Gundam-related is up in the air right now.” Not too surprising since none of it is currently licensed, except kinda-sorta Unicorn, which is really just a distribution deal and not a proper license.

    – DBZ and Naruto and “virtually tied” as the highest rated shows ever on Toonami. No surprises there, although I’d bet that Gundam Wing was probably not far behind.

    – They like all the characters from Evangelion, but Rei is probably their favorite (or at least the favorite of whoever ended up answering that question 😆 )

    They’ve hinted that another Toonami mixtape and *possibly* the return of the Clydes could be coming :D . But as for when is anyone’s guess.

    – How they decide what questions get answered on the air:

    “It’s based on what we think the best questions might be for the general public, i.e. some of the millions of people watching who AREN’T familiar with this tumblr but might want the answer to certain questions. If your question is smart, polite, and something we might think a broader audience would find interesting, it has a shot!”
