Just basically turn Adult Swim into Toonami but with the exact same shows it already has?

That's a pretty good marketing move, but it wouldn't convince me to keep watching since the terrible shows are the reason I don't watch it anymore.

[Lord Dalek]

Well there's really nothing that can be done about that now can there? Lets face it a lot of shows ASA airs are about as terrible as what Toonami used to air in its heyday.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Really, Bleach is the only horrible show they're airing. Everything else has just been repeated to death. If they want to make ASA into Toonami, they have to pull in some effort and get some new shows. Otherwise, like Gary said.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Well, the text on black is beyond tired now, so I wouldn't be resistant to changing it... Because AS really needs changing.

Yeah, the whole dadaist schtick has become more boring than weird now.

[Rynnec]

I don't know if I'd consider anything on ASA's current lineup as "terrible" (Other than Bleach), but I agree that you can only survive on new packaging for so long. Hopefully Saturday night did well enough to convince AS to pick up more anime, or at least make more action-oriented original programming, or better yet, both.

God knows Toonami bumpers would be much more appreciated than...whatever the hell the bumpers they use now are.

You mean those bumpers with the kids wearing clown make-up and laughing at each other? Yeah, whoever thought up of that needs to get fired. Like, now.

Steve Blum in any form >>>> all AS bumpers.

Probably the same people who decided that Tim & Eric deserve careers.

The whole block just needs a major revamp, and if turning it into Toonami will do that, then at least it's a step towards anything. A relaunch with brand new shows and acquisitions would be key, too.

This is really more of me wanting a good block than wanting AS to die/Toonami to return. CN hasn't really had an outright great block in such a long time and the AFD line up proves exactly that (other than Bleach), so I would welcome anything that would move it away from where it currently is.

Those, as well as the ones ones like the old lady and the BSOD'd computer, and the "Don't stand on the boat one".

The previous bumpers with a random photograph weren't anything special, but at least they didn't endanger my intelligence.

I'd also settle for Moltar returning.

I still can't get why it's supposed to be funny, and this is coming from someone who had to watch awkward Public Access TV back in high school. Is it supposed to be funny because of it's unfunniness?

[Foggle]

AS should bring back Toonami and put shows like Baccano, Full Metal Panic, Monster, Fate/Zero, and Black Lagoon on it. That'd be a step in the right direction, at least.

AND THEY NEED TO HURRY UP WITH THE BLACK DYNAMITE CARTOON ALREADY

[Dr. Insomniac]

Except Monster did awful when it was on Syfy, and they'd have to censor the shit out of Black Lagoon.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Unfortunately, Monster just won't fly here. Though putting it in the midnight slot during the week probably wouldn't hurt.

Have you ever seen SCTV? Tim & Eric is actually a very unfunny and extremely poor rip off of SCTV.

But yeah, it also follows that painfully annoying Adult Swim rule of weird = funny because.

[Foggle]

Syfy

There's your problem.

And yeah, I kinda' forgot that the English dub of Black Lagoon is about as vulgar as a Scorsese film.
