Hardly, I mean these shows are targeted towards the adult otaku watching this stuff at 3 AM. The general audience for these shows are the same otaku that stay up late all the time to watch these shows.

Those kids are in bed.

Have you seen their new schedule yet? Two of the shows aren't even anime, they're bad American/Canadian cartoons.

So, what's wrong with Toonami having non-anime? People seem to forget Toonami wasn't about all anime (Not to mention, it's intended for the casuals that aren't watching stuff on CR, Hulu, etc. and have no idea where to get it), just like how it doesn't need DBZ to be Toonami (The claims that Toonami isn't Toonami without DBZ is ridiculous. Toonami is what helped make DBZ huge here, not the other way around.). It's an action cartoon programming block, anime is just one of the things they put on there. Allow me to show you a couple of Toonami promos for non-anime...

Megas XLR
Samurai Jack
Jackie Chan Adventures
Justice League
Teen Titans
 
Forget Toonami for a second. Here's a drawing I finished last night.

what?

Toonami's done american shows before.. They used to be on Kids WB.
Then there was Giant Robot Week which included The Iron Giant.
Then there was 3/17/07 where they showed a bunch of american cartoon movies.
Then there's the daft punk music movie Interstella 5555 which was on Toonami's "Midnight Run"(and is awesome, by the way)
and there was "Toonami Rules Saturday nights" where Megas XLR, Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans..
I mean I can keep going but you seem to be this twisted form of "extremest" when it comes to toonami showing things.


Hell, Toonami used to be hosted by Moltar. A villain from the american show Space Ghost.

Andy, why does she look like she's in a state of extreme pleasure? :lol:

Toonami is now airing Sym Bionic Titan and the new Thundercats after expanding to 6 hours on Saturday nights again, that's what's happening. It's the first time Toonami has played something not anime in over four years. They haven't done it since Samurai Jack played before the block got axed the first time September 20, 2008.

You do relize Toonami started with American cartoons, right? I'm guessing you weren't around during the Mortar era, were you?

The expression is actually pretty interesting. I feel like she's contemplating, but there's something more than that.
 
Alright so...Black Lagoon rocks. Violent with a foul mouthed, gun crazy chick...pretty cool series. Ah My Buddah...is stupid. The premise is rather pointless unless you're going a hentai...which this isn't. So it just ends up being goofy and suggestive...which...kinda doesn't work here since there are other series that do the same thing better...like Inuyasha. So, I'll finish up Black Lagoon and Battle Athletes.

Panty & Stocking, as well. Seriously, though, Ah My Buddha isn't that good. Mainly because it's premise doesn't fit the style. And it's something that's been done several times before and AMB just doesn't even come close to being as good as the other series.
 
Toonami isn't going to damn itself to oblivion. Yes, two of the shows aren't anime but that's hardly anything new and there were hardly any high expectations to begin with considering how low their budget is.

The simple fact that they've expanded to an entire block without replays suggests everything is going according to plan, and with what they have planned next year (Gundam UC being among one of the possibilities) things will get better, and eventually it'll move to a weekday timeslot like it's supposed to.

In all likelihood you'll have the weekday block, Midnight Run, and the Rising Sun on Saturday's.
 
The non-anime shows don't even bother me as I only watch Bleach and maybe Samurai 7.

Also...the other two shows really don't belong in the adult swim lineup either. Sym-biotic Titan is a Cartoon Network original, and Thundercats? Really? I agree the choice of the shows is questionable. Too bad there's too much language in it 'cause Black Lagoon would be perfect.

But Inuyasha: The Final Act should become part of the lineup soon.
 
Sym-bionic Titan.

EDIT: You answered your question. :p

You're unlikely to see Black Lagoon or Inuyasha this year. I hope they TTGL on. :D
