You know I'm watching a large number of shows right now. I usually rarely watch TV when it is actually current only getting shows later when they come out on DVD and the cost of those DVDs drop. I can't stand to watch commercials and don't have any sort of cable TV. However at the present I find myself watching some great animated programs Adventure Time,Legend of Korra and MLP-Friendship is Magic (I also watch Grimm which is the only non-animated show I'm watching right now). As you can see I'm a pretty heavy fan of quality and imaginative animation but what is lacking from this list? Anime! Anime on TV has really had some weak offerings lately with nothing like Tri-Gun, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam, Big-O, Tenchi Muyo, Tsukagi Ran or any of the other quality works I used to watch only a few years ago. Instead they've all been replace with low cost limited animation shows only a few of which are actually funny. However there is hope! Cartoon Network and William Street hit a nerve with their April Fools gag of the return of Toonami and the fan response has been huge! If you enjoy anime please add your voices to the many other fans letting Cartoon Network know people want Toonami back. I'd actually go out and buy cable TV for the first time ever in Toonami returned and I know other people are just as passionate but I don't think cartoon network knows given their recent trend towards reality TV. Check out Marz Gurl's video on it if you would like to hear more about it and please Tweet about Toonami or better yet write to Cartoon Network. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/marzgurl/ane/34855-anime-news-editorial-toonami-april-fools
Umm is wendy ...insideout? isn't she a bag of holding? no i'm not clear on this but isn't something suposed to happen when you turn a bag of holding insideout?
i found a fellow Grimm fan have i?
also i also watched Legend of Korra........amazing. (also ZOMG STEVE BLUM IS THE VILLAIN (or at least he SOUNDS like Steve Blum))
@Raccoo: Since DVRs and play on demand options are a pretty standard part of most cable packages these days I don't think that would be an issue in this day and age. I've actually been burned more these days by episodes getting pulled down on various sites due to the networks being stingy about licensing time for a show. (Not that this the fault of Netflicks or whomever but still.)
While I loved Toonami when I was a teen, I don't think I would go for that now, unless I already had cable. I prefer watching at my leisure rather than missing episodes.
I hardly ever watch TV for the same reason, especially since I couldn't receive Cartoon Network any more via satellite dish (which I don't have any more either). It's one of the very few channels I actually miss. :(
Nice dress. Let's hope that Riddly doesn't just attract vamires now that are ...er... differently orientated. ;D
Toonami is more than just a random assortment of anime, simply offering some random shows isn't the same thing by far. Putting anime on actual TV has much larger impact that just throwing it up for viewing. As someone who want more anime merchandise movie release while it is nice to see when one of the online services offers a few anime but I just can't get excited about it the way I can with a return to major cable TV.
I wasn't aware Cartoon Network no longer had Toonami. Shows how much I pay attention to it, and that I don't bother with cable. I've heard about CN having live action shows instead of cartoons. I think about every genre specific channel has now completed the cycle MTV started. *bows head in shame* I think the TV/cable industry is trying to keep up but has no idea how to compete with internet.
Can watch some anime & cartoons on Hulu and Netflix I think. I believe Death Note is on Hulu if you haven't already seen.
This is so great! From dress designs to anatomy details (I always dislike the incorrect valentine decorations, come on folks).
But i feared we don't get new page until someone find third cameo on last one. :-)

Steve Blum and Lance Henriksen are the bad guys in LoK which is pretty good casting if you ask me.

Hmm, if playback is standard that'd be a little better. Better yet if they'd allow buying just the channels you want. :)
