    As much as I love Toonami I hate that they air it at night into the early morning. Way back when I watched Toonami (1999/2000ish) I remember coming home from school, eating dinner and starting at 4 pm came shows like Sailor Moon, DBZ, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Big O, Gundam etc. Thanks to Toonami I was able to watch anime. I would never have been able to do so if it was only ever on late at night.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's great that Toonami is back for us older fans to watch, but if you want to bring in a new generation of fans you have to put the shows on TV at a time slot where kids are awake to watch.

    Won't happen. Toonami is a component of Adult Swim now, and Adult Swim is no longer part of Cartoon Network even though they air on the same channel. Earliest they could start showing is 8pm.

    Yeah. Kinda frustrating that AoT is rerunning again after the marathon not that long ago.

    Still, Potato Girl is a riot.

    I usually just skip the reruns, which is why it's kind of annoying because I have wait to nearly 5 am to watch Samurai Jack.

    My TV is 16:9 and this airs in 4:3, which really takes away from the experience of this show because I've got those bars on the side.

    Flashback filler, in 4:3 to boot.

    Kagura's death, a sad episode.
    Alright goodnight.

    Why do Lord Genome's eyes look so familiar?...

    Edit: Sorry I thought my post would auto-merge.

    Did you see Gurren Lagann that night? It was completely epic, the Simon vs. Lord Genome episode.

    Yeah, that was pretty amazing. I'm thinking of catching up with the remaining episodes online rather than wait for January to roll around.

    I used to do that but it lessens the experience than if you watch it normally.
