So, I didn't grow up with it like some of you people, so I can get away with saying some of these things.
Toonami is lame. It sucks, no redeeming qualities to it. Should be canceled on the spot. And here's why.
Once, many moons ago, Adult Swim syndicated shows when it began, much like Cartoon Network did. It was practically pure anime, and everyone loved it. When Adult Swim gained its popularity, William Street, Adult Swims owners, stepped in and gave out its original content, the content of Anime quickly slipped. Yes, we got to see that terrible ending to Inuyasha, watched the greatest show of all time, Case Closed, fall on its head before the season ended, watched the Death Note being returned to the Shinigami realm, and watched the rebirth of Britannia on Code Geass. But are now replaced with original content they believe is funny, but is actually sick and disturbing. Things vulgar and blatant racism, childish blasphemy, promotion of taboo topics like making fun of straight and gay people, violence, Satanism, messing with someone dying or is already dead, and animal abuse just to name a few. There original series dominates the week, and the anime gets nothing more than a six hour slot on Saturday, crossing over into Sunday.
But its okay, because Adult Swim has heard your plea. Much like Nick hearing the overwhelming demand to bring back Legends of the Hidden Temple. So, what do they do? They bring back Toonami! Something Cartoon Network should have never cancled in the first place. But, they deliver a huge low blow when it was discovered that it's just taking over the Adult Swim block on Saturday THAT WAS ALREADY AIRING ANIME TO BEGIN WITH. They kept Cowboy Bebop for awhile, but chopped it really quick. So, the only two original series that carried over was Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
This is where I have the problem with this, and I'll take Bleach and Samurai 7 as example. Samurai 7 is 26 episodes long, and is a very complicated story if you don't pay attention. When I watched it the first time, it took about a week to finish it. It was really good, and enjoyed the four hour original movie that came out decades before. Toonami just finished its eighth episode. Meaning, it still has almost four months to finish the series. THIS was cute when it originally aired in Japan for 26 weeks, but the show is eight years old, and should not be aired that slowly.
Bleach is more evil. If you read the Wikipedia articles, it won't finish until January 25, 2014! Almost 2 1/2 years when it originally ended! I attempt to watch it when I glance over, but all I see is Orihime and her boobs, so its not worth it. Smaller shows which have a 12 episode season works perfectly for this kind of crap, but shows like Inuyasha HAVE to be aired constantly so it not only keeps the viewer interested, but they also don't lose information for future plots. (like Inuyasha had a good ending. Skip to the last two episodes...)
When I am online, Adult Swim is what I keep on until I go to bed. But do NOT try to pass Toonami as an original block when all it is is a sick replacement of Adult Swim because they probably didn't want to put the work into it, and NOT "listening" to the peoples demand and protests.
Toonami sucks and William Street are just sadistic low lives garbage who are probably going to get shot because they respect nobody but there money. That's my rant, and I'll see you soon~
