[MrHang]

Ok seriously...how epic was that??  They used Richie Branson's song for the opening!!!  FINALLY showing the fans some love after all these years!!

Multiple squees erupted from my mouth 

I'm totally watching this with my mom here, I don't care 


...additional squees for Tom saying "with a BANG"

Ugh...they compressed the Deadman Wonderland credits...  Ran them over the last minute of the episode instead of an actual ending.  Oh well... 

I'm having trouble keeping up with finding the music to all the bumps too!!   I know what they are!!  Just...can't process....right now...  overload of awesome!

I know they used Deastro's Light Powered on one of the Up-next bumps... Total squeefest up in here too That first episode of Deadman Wonderland was great!!

Yeah it's a great series   I'm so glad they decided to get it!  I'm cautiously optimistic for Casshern Sins though...there are so many other more relevant series that they could've licensed.  Why an under the radar one from 2008?  I mean there's Tiger and Bunny, Arakawa Under the Bridge, The World God Only Knows, Tatami Galaxy, Star Driver...I could go on and on.  We'll see how this one plays out though!

I'm doing the bumps one at time as they play cause I've got a busy day tomorrow and it seems like this is the only time I'll be able to get to them so as to include them in this week's file

DW was interesting. I was surprised they decided to just bleep out words instead of change the dialogue like they normally would. Shows how far we've come in the last 10-15 years.

I was reading Anime News Network and they've stated that if Toonami gets enough viewers and makes a big success for their Saturday lineup a lot of the schedule would change. Shows including Panty and Stocking [which Funi themselves have stated they've tried to put on the block before], Fairy Tail [this was interesting since it was on the Funi channel right before FiOS canceled the network] and other shows such as Inuyasha: Final Act and a return of One Piece and Gundam Wing were apparently being looked at. Show like Naruto and DBZ probably won't return. I know Nickelodeon has the rights for DBZ so that stinks but I can always say yes to no more Naruto.

I'm not a fan of this new Toonami. It's not what I think of when Toonami comes to mind.
