Think I read they are getting new shows to run but the press release on ANN was vague so it could just mean new shows that were not on when it was on air. Well here's to hoping.

The Crunchyroll release said that Adult Swim was "developing original anime programming" for Toonami. That leaves me hoping it'll be something completely new.

Here is a post from Anime News Network concerning the new Toonami lineup, and everything that pertains to it.

Quote:
Adult Swim, the cable and satellite network that is paired with Cartoon Network, is listing on its schedule that it will air the Deadman Wonderland and Casshern Sins television anime series on Sunday, May 27 at 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., respectively. The schedule lists that both series will then air again at 3:30 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.

Jason DeMarco, former Toonami producer and recently promoted vice president of strategic marketing and promotions for Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, confirmed this schedule on Monday via his Twitter account.

Adult Swim had announced last Wednesday that it would bring back its Toonami programming block starting on Saturday, May 26.

[Via Toonami Podcast]

Update: Adult Swim's entire anime schedule for early morning May 27 is as follows:

12:00 a.m. - Bleach
12:30 a.m. - Deadman Wonderland
1:00 a.m. - Casshern Sins
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2:00 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop

The schedule then repeats between 3:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m.

DeMarco added that Toonami will not be showing Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and similar titles since "the rights to those shows are owned by our competition or are out of our price range." He continued, "Something you should know about THIS Toonami: We have very, very little $$. This experiment will need ratings success to receive more funding for new shows, more [mascot character] Tom animation, etc. I'm thankful for the $$ we've gotten, but it isn't a lot."

DeMarco also clarified Adult Swim's May 16 press release, which said that the network is developing "new original anime programming" for Toonami's return. Toonami will not have original titles created specifically for the programming block, "just new acquisitions." DeMarco said that he personally "love[s] One Piece and would love to see it on CN again" along with Gundam Wing. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Fairy Tail, and Inuyasha: The Final Act are some of the "many shows we've been looking at" or discussed.

DeMarco confirmed that Steven Blum will reprise his role of Tom, which "will be an updated hi-res version of Tom 3.0" aboard a slightly different but almost identical version of the spaceship Absolution. However, the character Sara will not appear for now ("costs too much to make"), and Peter Cullen will not be the voice of the block's promos due to his busy work schedule. The anime titles will keep their theme songs, and Toonami "will make our own 'pre' intros."

That's a fairly solid lineup.

Yeah the two new shows are strong shows and worth watching. Though Casshern Sins animation style might turn some people away but I liked it. And Deadman wonder land while short was still interesting. Hope it does well enough to go though with getting some of the shows they were discussing.

I'd rather they redo One Piece and replace Bleach with it, and I think Gundam Wing has been done to death for us, but there's a whole new generation that might enjoy it so it's a wash for me. The rest of the shows are solid as well, though Inuyasha is another one I could do without.

The new line up is nice with Casshern and Deadman. I'll certainly watch it in the hopes that the other shows will slowly be replaced with stuff that hasn't aired entirely a million times over.

I'd love to see a one piece dub that doesn't suck, and/or at least hasn't been totally brutalized by the censors. I'm sort of in agreement with gundam wing, though I could probably rewatch it, since the last time I watched it was subbed, and I haven't actually seen it dubbed in ages. Definitely a **** no for inuyasha, but a strong **** yes for fairy tail. Also, while I'm 100% in favor of Panty&Stocking with Garterbelt, because it's one of the most outrageously funny shows I've watched in years, there's absolutely no way in **** they could play that **** on ******* adult swim without censoring it to death, let alone regular CN. The FCC would have a field day with that show...

Except if it were baby photos, it would be like looking at before and afters of Michael Jackson. Only instead of turning into a white guy, he changes into a chick!

I stayed up to watch Deadman and Casshern, 2 shows I knew nothing about when they came on (not a fan of Bleach, I've seen Full Metal and Bepop, and never got into the Ghost in the Shell). I liked them. Deadman was a little weird, but I guess it more will be understood with more shows. Casshern was neat and I enjoy the style it is done in.
