Let's all cut the act, we're in the anime forum, we talk about anime about 90% of the time, I'm listing Toonami first. ANYWAY you can still feel free to post poo poo about other Adult Swim shows since no one in TVIV has started a new Adult Swim thread. Oh by the way ADTRW regulars please don't post spoilers for shows just in case we have people going in blind watching these shows. Well, unless you want to spoil one of the never-ending shonen shows like Naruto, 'cause no one gives a poo poo. Also everyone and their grandma has seen DBZ.  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've seen at least an episode or two, don't loving lie. 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 (his lamest technique)). 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. Unfortunately that means the episode where Goku and Piccolo drive cars is gone and thus the whole thing is HORSESHIT. 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 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Premiering in October! VERY NICE-U CAESAR-CHAN The plot of Jojo's is way too long and convoluted to boil down into one paragraph but suffice it to say it involves following a family on bizarre adventures, and then the story ends and a new chapter starts down the line with a new protagonist of the same bloodline. Some of them have imaginary friends with amazing powers. The series has finally been dubbed and released in the U.S. of A after years of people thinking it would be an impossibility (due to characters and stands just straight up having band names that might cause licensing issues). And apparently the dub's pretty good, an even bigger shocker! Too bad we'll lose quality Engrish like this though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWreHiN_E-Q Oh and here's a promo featuring everyone's favorite ED theme/internet meme, Roundabout : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEWaEH-7TdI 1:00 - Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans The fat guy is named Biscuit quote:The year is Post Disaster 323. More than 300 years after a great war between Earth and Outer colonies known as the "Calamity War", Mars has been successfully terraformed and colonized by humans. However even with the technological advancements, the humans on Mars crave freedom against the government of Earth and seek to improve their livelihoods. Furthermore, while most of Mars' nations have received autonomy, the planet is virtually dependent on Earth for economic development with many living in impoverished conditions. A young orphan named Mikazuki Augus is part of a group of children who work for the civilian security company Chryse Guard Security (CGS), entrusted with the safety of the Martian Princess Kudelia Aina Bernstein, who has plans for her nation of Chryse to secure independence from Earth. One day, the group was attacked by the Earth Military organization Gjallarhorn, which aims to stop the Martian independence movement. During the attack, the leader of the children and the Third Army Division within CGS, Orga Itsuka, decides to rebel against the adults and higher-ups who had escaped and left the children and foot-soldiers to remain and fight as decoys. As all hope seems lost, Mika enters the battle, piloting a hastily repaired mobile suit: the legendary Gundam Barbatos. So standard Gundam stuff: war is bad, yet robot fights are good, and people have ridiculous names (I repeat, the fat guy is named Biscuit), you know, the usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP9PASx3bgA Fun fact: that promo was intentionally designed to mirror the Gundam Wing promo from back in the day. Ah, nostalgia  1:30 - Hunter X Hunter The x is silent Hunter X Hunter is a show about a kid named Gon who wants to find his dad after finding out said dad isn't as dead as he was led to believe. Pops was a Hunter, so Gon figures that's how he'll get a lead on him. But being a hunter entails doing all sorts of ridiculous poo poo like hunting crazy animals or assassins or whatever. It's written by the guy who created Yu Yu Hakusho, which was one of the first shows on Adult Swim oh so many years ago, so perhaps airing on Toonami was Hunter X Hunter's destiny. Anyway, here's the contractually required toonami promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGgSyiWcwhk And here is the ADTRW thread for it which I recommend reading the OP of because it's very funny. 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 Shippuden starts after a timeskip and Naruto (the original) is like 400 episodes long and I'm not reading the entire Naruto wiki to write a synopsis. Because god knows Shippuden sure doesn't waste any time explaining who old characters are, it just launches right ahead... After Bleach finally died off, Naruto took the title belt of "slowest moving program on the block" which is frankly remarkable since Naruto is just goddamn glacial (seriously how do you hit a filler arc only 2 arcs in to your story jfc). 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, a cyborg shipwright, 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 One Piece apparently just started off a big filler arc though so now it's time to see if it can outpace Naruto in a hot low-speed chase. 3:00 Rerun Death Slot - One Punch Man okay.jpg So have you ever seen that clip from the end of Justice League where Superman talks about living in a world of cardboard? Imagine if Superman were even stronger and didn't give a gently caress. One Punch Man is a phenomenon that grew from a webcomic with lovely art to a professionally drawn manga to getting a full anime last year. It's about Saitama, a guy who's a superhero for fun, and his day to day life facing threats that would be the final battle in any other anime... and also getting excited about making it to the supermarket when they have good deals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x8mH9ojJiM What's coming this year? FLCL... season 2? wait what? - coming late 2017 or early 2018 ENGAGE MANGA MODE    FLCL, also known as Fooly Cooly, is a super-weird show about robots, aliens, guitars, vespa motor-scooters, and growing up. Created in 2000, the plot centers around Naota, a young boy stuck in his podunk town who laments that his life is loving boring since his big brother left to go play professional baseball in America  . Enter Haruko, a pink-haired manic pixie dream girl who runs over him then hits him on the head with a drat guitar, and turns his life upside down as his head starts sprouting robots and there's all sorts of alien poo poo. ...it's a weird show. It's one of those shows that you either really like or you just don't get, and that's okay. But wait what's this? Season 2? "But TwoPair!", you say, "FLCL is but a 6-episode long one-season show!" and you would have been right... until a few months ago. However Toonami is shelling out the dough to coproduce two additional 6-episode seasons with Production I.G. A prepackaged press blurb posted:In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock. Reactions are... mixed... ranging from "Wow I'm so excited" to "FLCL was lightning in a bottle and this will be loving garbage" to "I really wish Toonami would've spent that money on Big O season 3" (okay that last opinion was just me) But hey we got a whole year at least to wait this out so if you're mad about it, don't worry, I'm sure you'll have forgotten by the time the thing actually comes out. Vague rear end Production I.G. project https://www.twitter.com/ToonamiNews/status/749084027122962433 Yes that's all that's been announced as of now. And lastly:  LONG AGO IN A DISTANT LAND, CARTOON NETWORK, THE SCHEDULE-SHIFTING MASTERS OF CARTOONS, UNLEASHED A UNSPEAKABLY GOOD CARTOON SHOW. BUT A FOOOOLISH NETWORK EXECUTIVE WIELDING A CANCELLATION NOTICE STEPPED FORTH TO OPPOSE IT. Okay now that I'm done with that gag, Samurai Jack was a cartoon on Cartoon Network that ran from '01 to '04. It was pretty great, mixing great action with humor and being stylish as poo poo. I mean, it won an Emmy. ...It still got canned, though. But through some dark magic now it's back 12 years later. Hopefully it'll still be cool. If you've never seen the old episodes they're all on Hulu and maybe if Cartoon Network gets their poo poo together they'll put them up streaming on their site. No one knows when it'll be airing. Current theory: the next show on the block to end is Champloo, maybe then? UPDATE (7/2): Apparently Genndy Tartakovsky did some interview where he revealed a bunch of facts like the fact that the season will be 10 episodes long and it will be a definitive conclusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT6yhhfiUh8 ALSO Every Saturday night while the more boring shonen shows are on TV, Waffleman or Baal or I dunno who's running it these days is building you a better cartoon show. They it Goonami MEANWHILE EVERY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK...  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 bunch of Family Guy reruns. What's on right now? 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 Sundays at 11:30!   Squidbillies is basically Aqua Teen Hunger Force with redneck jokes. It's very funny, but if you don't like ATHF'sstyle of low budget, barely-animated comedy well then you won't like this. Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio Sundays at 11:45! From Brad Neely (obviously), creator of China, IL, BNHNSP basically looks to be Neely's own Robot Chicken, just a bunch of weird sketches with his sense of humor with no real narrative to hold him back like China, IL did. Also it has the weirdest/dumbest name ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAXK_vC9h5s Decker: Unclassified Fridays at Midnight! Looks to be a big parody of action movies by Tim Heidecker. It's a spinoff of a web show he's been doing on AS's website for a while now. I'm not a fan of Tim (and/or Eric) but hey, maybe you are, and that's okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELKAaCerps Check It Out With Dr. Steve Brule Fridays at 12:15! I guess if you like them or have a slavish devotion to John C. Reilly then you're in luck. You know what, I lied, I do like something Tim & Eric have done because in the middle of writing this I remembered Paul Rudd At His Computer exists and I'm just gonna post that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAFcEU6atk 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! Other Returning Programs (None of the following have set return dates but they've all been greenlit for new seasons so expect them in the vague future) The Jack and Triumph Show Anybody remember Triumph the Insult Comic Dog? It was a skit back on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Triumph is just a hand puppet with a cigar but is voiced by veteran SNL writer Robert Smigel and he'd go places and, well, insult people. Hilarity ensued, like this clip where he insults nerds waiting in line for Star Wars Episode II. 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 gimmick 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 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're really missing out. rick and morty a hundred years dot com. Robot Chicken  Do I really need to explain loving Robot Chicken? It's Family Guy cutaways with action figures. Much like Family Guy cutaways occasionally one will be real funny but most of the time they're just trying too hard and you're better off watching something else. It's been renewed because of course it has. I mean, it's probably AS's most successful original show, why wouldn't they? The Venture Brothers Well it happened. Season six finally happened. Season seven hasn't been announced but we all know it's happening. Welp, see you all in 10 years! Has its own thread here (link may be/probably is defunct but gently caress you I'm not gonna go to TVIV and find the new VB thread to link it 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 about them. Go nuts, kids! oh and SAO 3 is totally gonna simuldub here you heard it here first.

 Goonami is the official unofficial Toonami preshow, beginning broadcast of random Youtube videos every Saturday at 8, with the main feature usually airing at 11. But what will we be watching in 2016?  Fate/Zero Once every sixty years in the town of Fuyuki, a ritual known as the Holy Grail War is held. Seven mages summon the spirits of seven legendary heroes as Servants to do battle, with the last team standing being granted any wish their heart desires. Kiritsugu Emiya has entered this incarnation of the war with the Servant Saber and unconventional tactics. We know the story ends in tears, but how does it get there?

Pavlov posted:Childhood me is so ready for more samurai jack. I was like 20 when I discovered Samurai Jack and I am just as excited. As a movie, history and general sci-fi/fantasy nerd it got me geek-wet. Almost every episode of that show had a specific cinematic style or mood it went for and usually nailed it. If I ever end up teaching I will use Samurai Jack as an example of a show that takes inspiration from everything from Ingmar Bergman to Buster Keaton. It's pretty legit when it comes to it's tradecraft.
