Toonami |2024 OT| The coolest Guy
- Thread starter Seda
- Start date
Wasn't that the show that DeMarco said they saw how the show turned out & they felt like they dodged a bullet or something? Maybe I'm thinking of something else or it could've just been the fact it was licensing/Hulu had the exclusive rights. But either way, the fact they were able to get Sailor Moon back feels like something that should be bigger.
I remember that comment. IIRC he hadn't seen the show when he made that comment and was going off of fan reactions.
Cartoon Network is probably gonna be phased out in the future imo.
Adult Swim/Toonami will be where new content debuts.
It's a bit weird to say, but there's just not a market for kids/teens in television anymore.
Naruto doesn't really fit with the rest; DBZ and Sailor Moon are quintessential '90s anime, but Naruto didn't make it to US TV until, what, 2005 or 2006?
This smart TV has (or did) have a dedicated Sailor Moon channel but...I mean, yeah, SM is already coming back to actual TV but...yeah, that'd be cool too.
Heads up, DeMarco deactivated his Twitter & is now on Blue Sky.

Right now, he's taking suggestions as to what should be on Toonami Rewind.
Someone recommend Zatch Bell & Bo-Bobo.

Though it looks like other people suggested them already anyway.

Can someone actually post the details of rewind, Demarco deactivating his twitter deleted everything... (really wish he just stopped using it instead of going that far, historical posts are important IMO).
Might be the first time where it feels like nobody posted during a marathon.
- Starts on Friday, May 31st at 5pm Eastern & will be weekly.
- 2 hours of older Toonami shows with older style packaging (not an older TOM or SARA, though. They wanted to, but wasn't in their budget). To quote ANN, it's "classic older Toonami music and some older packaging that were recreated in HD for an anniversary broadcast."
- 5pm is the Viz dub of OG Sailor Moon, 5:30 & 6 is DBZ Kai, & 6:30 is Naruto.
Here's the promo trailer:

Aside from posting on his Blue Sky "hey, send suggestions on shows," the only other social media post was on Facebook. To sum it up:

I find it kind of hilarious that Adult Swim's response to them being given more and more time during the week was just to play classic CN shows
The thing with OP is that it's kinda perfect for this format. There's enough episodes that it can run for two years straight, at an hour a weekday, and not see a single repeated episode.
That's ultimately up to Toei and they probably do want that.
But Crunchyroll would be the ones to talk to for Yu Yu Hakusho, Outlaw Star and probably Gundam Wing and G Gundam unfortunately. And they probably won't play.
If they're not on the phone with Sentai to get HD Big O season 1, they should be.
If Viz is the only company willing to make reasonable deals then there's certainly InuYasha and old Bleach but I can't imagine Toei wouldn't offer a sweet deal for One Piece episodes 1-206. The one downside being they will be cropped because the HD version for those episodes are cropped to wide screen.
It would actually be absolutely ridiculous for WBD to not let Toonami Rewind show Batman, Justice League or any DC show but chances are they won't make them affordable to air.
At any rate, this is such a wild development. If you had told me in 2004 that Toonami would be back on a weekday evening and showing uncut Sailor Moon I would have said you were delusional.
On that note, it's kind of wild that they're fine airing uncut Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Naruto at times kids would reasonably be awake now.
April of 2004 when it was replaced by Miguzi. Though it sorta aired on one Friday night in 2019 for Blade Runner night.
I mean do any of those have anything worse than Frieza impaling Krillin with his horns? I remember that pretty distinctly happening on daytime Toonami
The original Toonami airing of Naruto cut a lot, including Naruto stabbing his hand during the Zabuza arc and the NaruSasu kiss (both had the audio but cut away, ironically making the latter seem more intense than it was).
I mean CN has had Steven Universe on air at this point. I think they're past the point where they'll censor gay stuff.(besides unlike Steven Universe Toonami isn't something the stupid execs would necessarily be worried about airing in every country possible)
Whenever I think of censorship regarding Toonami shows, I think of Sailor Moon. My brain just immediately sprints there.
Not just the cousin stuff, but how Zoisite was made a woman in the dub cause otherwise the show was too gay to air in the 90's/2000's.

Know what's more frustrating than finding your dogs chewed on your $400 headphones a few weeks ago, causing the noise cancelation to produce a faint vibrating sound on one side & making the bass absolutely overpowering, even when set at -9?
Having no damn luck with Sony Support, who were just like "yeah, out of warranty, even though you bought them 6 months ago, try this other website that you've never heard of & has people saying nothing but negative things about said site."
I dunno, just needed to vent. For some reason, right before my 4 day PTO, things have been stressful.

Pretty sure they toned down that scene in the Toonami version.
Naruto eventually ran with sparse edits but within the first 40 there's a fair amount of censorship to stabbing and other acts of violence. Particularly stuff involving Gaara killing people in brutal ways. NOW there's more brutal violence in some episodes of My Hero Academia.
Sailor Moon probably has nothing of concern now that they're lax on homosexuality but obviously that wasn't the case in even in 2006 when Naruto was airing mostly uncensored in prime time.
Realistic guns/bullets, religious references, drinking and smoking are generally not allowed during CN hours but aren't a problem for Adult Swim even at 5pm or 5am. So if they got Outlaw Star for this it should be fine at 5pm on "Adult Swim time" but a year ago wouldn't have been okay for 5pm on "CN time" but nudity is still a hot button especially if there's nipples so the hot spring episode can't air and there's no way they are showing Tenchi Muyo but the sparse nipple-less nudity in InuYasha should be okay after 5pm. The Big O should be entirely safe, maybe Trigun as well. Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell: SAC might actually be okay to air every episode before 7pm but probably not at 5pm right after CN time, though many episodes are tame enough for the earlier times without issue. G Gundam, Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED should be able to air without edits. I wonder if they could get away with airing Attack on Titan after 6pm, it's pretty graphic but didn't push beyond TV-14-V in season 1 and I mean... it's over a decade old now and a Toonami classic.
Spoilers for Paper Mario, The Thousand-Year Door, a 2004 gamecube RPG?
Hey, that's pretty cool. Actually a touch surprised Nintendo kept this, in all honesty.

From what I've heard the Japanese script has been updated to be much more respectful of Vivian's identity as well

Sony needs to bring this back.
People want a home controller that looks like you could throw like a boomerang for self-defense during these trying times.

Wonder if DeMarco will try to get this on the block.
Well...if it's manga accurate...editing has been brought up in this thread recently.
They should have Lex Luthor steal some cakes this season.
How many cakes? I don't know, but it should be sizeable.
