UPDATE 4/20: Now that we're in the land of the rising anime, if you're an ADTRW regular, please be nice and don't post spoilers related to the shows currently airing on the block (well, within reason at least, no one cares if you spoil Naruto). A lot of us bakas are going in blind to these shows, so don't be rude. A Quick Note: PLEASE FEEL WELCOME TO DISCUSS ANY AND ALL SHOWS! A lot of people always push for the thread to get separated into AS and Toonami threads, but I really didn't see the need when it's only bombarded on Saturday nights, the same as most other TV IV threads when goons start live posting while watching the shows. Also, talk of comedy stuff tends to get spread out because AS spreads it out during the week instead of putting premieres all on one night. But if you want to talk about how great Eric Andre or any of AS's other programming is any other day of the week, do so with pride. I encourage it! I assure you, we're open. THAT SAID:  Adult Swim is a block on Cartoon Network that's been running strong now since 2001. It's their late-night offering for grown-ups such as ourselves. This high class stuff includes a show where a guy hosts a parody talk show and pukes on himself and a Saturday chock full of anime. What's on right now? Black Jesus Fridays at 11:00  The brainchild of Aaron McGruder, creator of comic strip/hit TV show The Boondocks, Black Jesus is... exactly what it says on the tin. Jesus has returned, he's black, and he's just chillin' with his friends in Compton smoking weed, spreading the word, and accidentally pissing off the one guy in his neighborhood who doesn't believe he's the real deal. Mike Tyson Mysteries Sundays at 12:15! Mike Tyson Mysteries is exactly what it sounds like. It's Mike Tyson solving mysteries with his adopted daughter Yung Hee (Rachel Ramras), his ghost pal Marquess of Queensbury (Jim Rash), and Pigeon (Norm MacDonald) an alcoholic womanizer whose ex-wife magically turned him into a pigeon who lives with Mike. See, totally normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58WJ-4PxcU What's coming this year?  A BUNCH OF NEW PILOTSIn addition to these shows, Adult Swim recently announced a shitload of new pilots! No news about when they'll air, but you can read some press summaries here! Most notable is TV SUCKS, coming from Brad Neely, creator of much beloved (and much canceled) show China, IL. So hopefully that'll be good. Other Returning Programs (None of the following have set dates that they're coming back but they've all been greenlit for new seasons so expect them in the vague future) The Eric Andre Show Eric Andre is back for the best late night show on television. That's all the summary you loving need, Eric Andre rules, watch this show you cretins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5uLc0N4r2U Squidbillies   Squidbillies is basically Aqua Teen Hunger Force with redneck jokes. It's very funny, but if you don't like ATHF's style of low budget, barely-animated comedy well then you won't like this. The Jack and Triumph Show Anybody remember Triumph the Insult Comic Dog? It was a skit back on Late Night with Conan O'Brien when Conan hosted that show. Triumph is just a hand puppet with a cigar but is voiced by veteran SNL writer Robert Smigel and they'd go places and, well, insult people. Hilarity ensued. Triumph has shown up less and less in recent years but now they're doing a show essentially starring him along with Jack McBrayer (of 30 Rock fame). It's a mix of scripted stuff and improv (of course). The narrative part is that McBrayer is a former child star who used to be on a Lassie-like TV show with Triumph, and Triumph basically ruined his life. Now years later Triumph comes back into Jack's life as he's finally pulled it together. Here's a clip where you can see how they kind of blend the scripted stuff with the classic insult bits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuVgR_7DiSE Mr. Pickles A show that got picked out of several pilots by users on AS's website and is created by two guys who wrote sketches for Funny Or Die. It's basically a parody of Lassie where Lassie is actually the spawn of Satan. You can watch the original pilot here (  for more than a spot of the ol' ultraviolence) I think it looks loving abominable, but hey, taste is subjective, so maybe this is your thing (if it is you are a bad person). And hey it got renewed so FFFFFUUUUCKKKKK Rick and Morty  Rick and Morty is basically what would happen if Doc Brown was even smarter, but a raging alcoholic and Marty McFly was his stupid grandson instead of a cool 80s kid. Has its own dedicated thread here. Surprising no one, the show got renewed for a third season, because it loving rules. Watch the show if you haven't already, you loving cretin. rick and morty a hundred years dot com. The Venture Broth-hahahahah are you kidding me? Are you loving kidding me? Okay look, so AS ordered a 6th season, and Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick said it would be out in Fall 2014. Considering the three year gap between seasons 4 and 5, and the fact that it's already 2015 (summer as of this edit), I'd say don't hold your breath, but gently caress it I'll put it in the thread. I mean, it did have one special already I guess. But they also had a music video wayyyy before season 5 so hey whatev. UPDATE 10/21: AS released a trailer for season 6, swearing that VB is coming back Spring 2016. I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe not even then. Has its own thread here. There's also reruns of Family Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill, and (for now) the Cleveland Show. They'll be there until the heat death of the universe, or until Fox decides to stop letting AS re-air them, whichever comes first. All of those shows have their own threads and aren't AS's so I'm not really gonna bother going into detail. AND NOW FOR SATURDAYS...  Toonami is an action block that ran on Cartoon Network from '97 until '08. They showed a whole bunch of anime (and stuff like Batman: TAS but most people just remember the anime) and are most notable for basically bringing Dragonball Z to the US (for better or for worse). AS brought it back for their April Fools prank in 2012 and people lost their poo poo in a fit of nostalgia so now its back for good and has supplanted the AS Anime block. Currently airing: 12:00 - Dragon Ball Z Kai like dis if u are a 90s kid  Look we all know what Dragon Ball Z is, let's not bullshit around. You can talk all about how much you hate anime, (and you may actually hate anime) but everyone knows what DBZ is so I'm not going to explain it. I should explain that the "Kai" is there because the animation has been remastered for HDTV (however, it has not been redone entirely, meaning that it is still the old footage in 4:3 aspect ratio, meaning that when this airs you will see annoying black bars on the side of your screen, but don't adjust your TV, it'll just make Goku stretchy). The voice acting has also been redone entirely, and the soundtrack has been replaced with the original Japanese one. Those of you who grew up watching the dubbed version in the old days with the replaced score by Bruce Faulconer may now feel free to get into heated comment wars about which music score is superior. Finally, the "Kai" is there because it's supposed to cut a ton of filler. None of that "whole episode worth of charging an attack" poo poo. Kai's all killer, no filler, baby. I was gonna look for more funny gifs but look, I think I know what everybody wants when we're discussing DBZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH_CcJ-uBWI 12:30 - Akame Ga Kill! Gratuitous violence is good enough to make up for a plot deficit right?  ...I don't know anything about this show so here's the Wikipedia summary: quote:The story focuses on Tatsumi, a young villager who travels to the Capital to raise money for his home only to discover a strong corruption in the area. The assassin group Night Raid recruits the young man to help them in their fight against the Empire to end its corruption. Apparently it has a lot of violence? Hopefully entertaining! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc5CtKSR244 1:00 - Parasyte -the maxim- WHO'S READY FOR BODY HORROR? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQKjykQTgIQ Parasyte centers on a 17-year-old teen named Shinichi Izumi, who lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like creatures called Parasites appear on Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. One Parasite attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails as Shinichi is wearing headphones, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead. The parasite is named Migi, after the Japanese word for "right", because the Japanese are nothing if not witty. Because Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from travelling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellect and personality. As the duo encounter other Parasites, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasites who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. But that's not to say the series doesn't know how to have fun.  1:30 - Michiko & Hatchin Shinichiro Watanabe presents Cowgirl Brazil-bop  Hana is a little Japanese Cinderella, living a lovely life playing maid for an abusive foster family in Brazil. Michiko is an ex-con who escapes from a supposedly inescapable prison fortress. Michiko rescues Hana from her poo poo life because she's on the hunt for Hana's father, Hiroshi, who she is convinced is alive (despite all evidence pointing to the contrary). Oh, and Hana changes her name to Hatchin because she has so many bad memories associated with her real name. It's another show by Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame and is stylish as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQmWrRZKS60&t=7s 2:00 - Naruto Shippuden Taking the stealth out of ninjas since 2002  Naruto is a ninja kid from the Hidden Leaf Village who wants to be the very best, like no one ever was. Unfortunately he's got a demon locked up inside him and it seems like a bunch of evil guys want to capture it (and use it for nefarious purposes). Here's where the recap ends because here's the problem, Shippuden starts after a timeskip and Toonami only showed 20 episodes of Naruto Original Recipe, and Naruto's like 400 episodes long so I guess if you want an actual recap, you better hit loving Google, son, because I'm not reading a wiki to write a synopsis and Shippuden sure doesn't waste no time explaining who old characters are, it just launches right ahead... Now that Bleach is finally dead, Naruto has taken the title belt of "slowest moving program on the block" which is frankly remarkable since Naruto is supposedly just getting started and is still just goddamn glacial. 2:30 - One Piece Yo ho ho he took a bite of gum gum A show about pirates. But they're the protagonists so they're heroic. They fight bad pirates. Also the government (who are bad). Cast includes a reindeer who is a doctor, a man who can talk with a sword in his mouth and their captain, a man made of rubber. Actually, you know what, if you need a summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSe8D2wfGKI This is not the actual intro but there is never a bad reason to link the pirate rap 3:00 - Kill La Kill -or- Boobs La Butt or Fan La Service or Giant-Block-Of-Red-Japanese-Text-That-Doesn't-Really-Translate-Well La Joke  Ryuko Matoi is a girl looking for her father's murderer. She transfers to Honnouji Academy where for some reason the school's Student Council runs the entire town in some sort of nightmarish caste structure based around your kid's status in clubs and poo poo. Oh and all (well, some) of the school has weird superpowers given to them by their school uniforms called Goku uniforms because if you're gonna name your power suit, you name after the best. Anyway Ryuko discovers her father's long-lost secret lab and a super-secret amazing Goku uniform that makes her stronger than everyone at the school at the cost of making her Here watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55iX64NmUDA What's coming this year? THIS SPACE TO BE FILLED - Something whenever Michiko and Hatchin wraps because AS/Toonami aren't really in the rerun game much anymore. Maybe they'll announce and simul-dub Sword Art Online III  Maybe the English dub of Dragonball Super, since they're getting that on Toonami's Asian affiliate and ain't nothing kills in ratings like super saiyans. Who knows? ALSO Every Saturday night while more boring anime is on TV, Waffleman is building you a better cartoon show. He calls it Goonami TwoPair fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Nov 15, 2015 |

Yeah, I'd be for it too. It just seems, looking back, Phantom Blood is really crappy in comparison. That's always seemed to be the biggest barrier for getting people into JoJo's for me: getting them past Phantom Blood. poo poo, my last friend I skipped right to Stardust Crusaders.

Luckily, I have something prepared. Goonami is a special broadcast by Toonami Goons for Toonami Goons. Originally started to air Redline during the Attack on Titan Labor Day marathon, it's become a regular preshow/dead air filler, airing its own programming. Goonami regularly starts at about 9 Eastern, beginning its first feature at 11:00 and its second feature during Shonen Dead Hour at 1:00. Goonami can usually be accessed at this site. Here's a look at what awaits Goonami viewers in 2015.  I dunno I'm going home for the summer and between capped internet and my job, I won't be able to run things. You guys are on your own. I think the consensus is for someone to start up an auxiliary channel, and you guys are on your own with that. But once I'm back, Goonami's gonna be as strong as ever.
