Escaflowne the movie? Does that mean they will release the series? Cause I still need to see it! I got the movie but I never did get the series on DVD. Yarg!

Scryed! Good anime good anime! not what I thought it was going to be. Really funny and really good action! Scryed is 100 times better than that crap new ghost in the shell series anyway.

and its ABOUT TIME they show the Cowboy bebop movie! About damn time. I tell ya!

I have to say I'm looking forward to this. Samurai Champloo and s.CRY.ed, although I was hoping to see s.CRY.ed on Toonami, Toonami now seems pretty set with a solid line-up and some killer apps.

Looks like I've a reason to watch Adult Swim again, although I wish they'd bring back Detective Conan.

*facepalms* Can't believe Tom Goes to the Mayor got renewed...

Cool to hear about Champloo and s.CRY.ed, though. I've heard good things about those, though I do wonder what'll happen to Fullmetal Alchemist's spot in the lineup.

If Tom can get renewed, Conan can get renewed..

Toonami is dead man... Its dead. There is no hope for it. Im glad Scryed is going to Adult Swim. It doesnt need to sit there among the other reject Anime/other TV shows like Rave Master, Dual Masters, and The Batman *shudders*.

And I agree! I miss seeing Case Closed (conan). That show was fun to watch (though I found myself guessing who it was and getting it right most of the time. I never figure out how they do it. I just have good hunches.)

sssssssCRYDO!

 

[Duelist Strife]

Toonami isn't dead by any means...

Gimme a break, they're getting freakin' Naruto!

 

[Bayushi Seto]

Toonami's getting Naruto? When?

 

[Misfits923]

Woohoo! New season of "Aqua Teen Hungerforce". *Does Meatwad impersonation* That's pretty kickass right there.

 

[Keith Justice]

Toonami's not dead by a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng shot.

Zatch Bell, and yeah.. it's getting Naruto by the end of the year... Transformers is said to return, it's getting One Piece (in its busted up form), Teen Titan premieres as well as Justice League premieres, along with The Clone Wars.

Toonami's alive and well and by the end of the year it'll be stronger than ever.

While Rave Master definately sucks, it's gone from Toonami.

Duel Masters on the other hand was unexpectedly awesome. The card anime for people who don't care about card anime. I used to really look forward to it as it was being produced by Plastic Cow and the guy who brought us all the Star Wars cult hit, TROOPS. Not sure how much a chance you gave it, but I'm glad I checked it out.
